VMWare Tools: Fedora 7, 8 but not 9
by Khemara Lyn 27 May '08

27 May '08

Hi, I've been using VMWare workstation a lot to set up the different of releases of Fedora. I notice, in Fedora 7 and 8, I could move the mouse back and forth between the host and the guest systems without the need to press Ctrl+Alt combination keys. In Fedora 9, I can't do this anymore. Is there a package I can add for it? Thanks in advance for any input. Khem

Sun java plugin on FC9 x64 (with 32 bit firefox)
by John Priddy 27 May '08

27 May '08

Has anyone been able to get this to work on FC9 x64? I have installed jre-6u6-linux-i586.bin, then overwrote various binaries from jre-6u6-linux-x64.bin. Then using yum I removed 64 bit firefox, installed 32, and then linked /usr/java/jre1.6.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins . I load up firefox, and i see it under about:plugins. But no matter what java applet I try to use with it, it dumps on itself -- Am I missing some other required libraries here? Thanks John

cronie crashing?
by Sam Varshavchik 27 May '08

27 May '08

Is anyone else having cron crash occasionally, in F9? My servers run 24x7. Once or twice a week, crond disappears. This is happening on my i386 server and, after I upgraded my x86_64 server from F8 to F9 this morning, six hours later crond died on x86_64. Time to put strace on crond, and wait…

Ubuntu Remastersys for Fedora?
by Todd N 27 May '08

27 May '08

Hello, I am looking to take an established installation of Fedora, with several different customizations, and create a Live CD from it. A tool recently has come to my attention that has a lot of potential for accomplishing this task easily. It's called Remastersys, and is designed for use with Ubuntu. I am wondering whether anyone here can tell me if this tool has some sort of Fedora equivalent. Or, can Remastersys be adapted for use with Fedora? Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks, Todd --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

apache with php with mysql
by Mike Wright 27 May '08

27 May '08

Hi all, I've done a minimal install and have been using yum (drinking the kool-aid;) to pull in the additional packages I need. I've installed httpd, php, php-mysql, mysql, mysql-server, verified that the apache module libphp5.so exists, then made a simple php web script to display "phpinfo()". It reports that it was compiled without mysql support. I've used "yum whatprovides" to find all the other pieces but I haven't a clue as to what to search for on this one. Anybody know which package will provide mysql support to libphp5.so? Thanks in advance, :m)

vmlinuz-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 freezes during boot
by Geoffrey Leach 27 May '08

27 May '08

This has been reported to Bugzilla, 448461. I'd be curious to know if anyone has seen anything similar. During boot (not a "quiet" boot, of course, after "serio: ...IRQ" output, the boot process appears to stop. On entering CR it continues to "Input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard ...". Another CR and it continues to "Input: Synaptics PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad ..." whereupon it hangs. No response to CD or banging on the touchpad. The report says that it hapens in vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 as well, but I'm no longer sure of that. Here's what lshw says (full listing available, if anyone cares.) description: Notebook product: Z84F vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. version: 1.0 serial: NB-1234567890 width: 32 bits capabilities: smbios-2.4 dmi-2.4 smp-1.4 smp configuration: boot=normal chassis=notebook cpus=2 uuid=00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009

Thanks, Rick, good to know. Is this fdisk info new for F9? I probably haven't run fsisk for quite a while so I could have missed it in earlier releases. Now I'm curious. If I run # lvm pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sdb2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 232.78G 32.00M or other lvm commands I don't see any mention of /dev/dm-X. So who uses or needs to know about /dev/dm-X?

OK, I have some progress to report but I'm still not sure exactly what is going on. I booted my rescue DVD and ran fdisk: #fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xd42ad42a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 29341 235681551 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 29343 30387 8393962+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 30388 30400 104422+ 72 Unknown Disk /dev/sdb: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xb4b94613 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 14 30401 244091610 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/dm-0: 247.8 GB, 247833034752 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30130 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-1: 2080 MB, 2080374784 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 252 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x30307800 Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root This is what I expected except for the last 2 partitions; /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-1. I don't really know what they are but I suspect they have something to do with RAID. This is an HP dc7700 and there is an HP_RECOVERY partition somewhere in the system so the /dev/dm stuff could be that? In the BIOS there is no option to change the boot order from one disk to the other, only between the HD and the CD/DVDso perhaps RAID is always turned on in the BIOS. When I ran grub install before, I ran: # grub-install /dev/sda1 which left me stuck with just GRUB on the screen. This time (after running grub interactivly and some other false starts) I ran: # grub-install hd0 Now grub starts OK and I can boot into Fedora 9. X didn't start but I ran system-config-display which allowed me to start X on one of my dual monitors. That's one of many problems for another thread. That's the good news. The bad news is that when I try to boot into Windows, it just starts grub again. I suspect that running grub-install /dev/sda1 put grub at the beginning of the 1st Windows partition and grub-install hd0 put grub in the MBR of the 1st disk. The grub in the MBR redirects to the grub in the 1st partition. Is there any way out of this beside re-installing Windows? I see that there is another thread "Problem in the boot of Windows XP with Grub" where another user has a similar problem. Steve

Real movies in F8 nvidia monitor - oddball colours
by mike cloaked 27 May '08

27 May '08

I have a Dell 530S running F8 and using the kmod-nvidia driver.... the machine runs beautifully in general - and most video is fine. I can go to the bbc news website and most of their inline movie news stories are fine. But if I go to a link such as http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and then click on the "Live" news link, and then select the "launch in standalone player" link, then realplay starts up and works, with sound, but the colours are weird. Faces are blueish green, and the colours are all wrong. All other video is absolutely fine - mplayer is fine, and YouTube video is fine. It is just when realplay is playing video that this happens. I have previously been running Real10 Gold and this evening installed Real 11 Gold - and it is exactly the same. Does anyone else see this? Does anyone have a suggested workaround?... I am puzzled as everything else works nicely.
