(I have to find time to install F9.) Mikkel I'm running F8 and I have vol_id in /lib/udev, but I don't recall if I did something specific to make it be there (eg install something ). I'm just posting this in case you may have overlooked it. Joe

On some boxes, I get this when running Chkrootkit Checking `lkm'... find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/1: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. How do I correct this. Frank

Amarock - wma format questions
by Dan Thurman 26 May '08

26 May '08

I have several wma file that plays fine on amarock, but then again there are some wma files that won't play at all. In the ones that fail, I get a message saying: "There is no available decoder", it does not say anything else. >From what I read about wma format on wiki - there were several kinds of releases, specifically they talk about 4 distinct formats - none which are compatable wrt to each other, so would that mean one would need the 4 different codecs when playing "wma" tagged files? Geez. The thing here, is that these wma files plays on windoes media player just fine, but not amarock - sigh. Oh yeah - another question - why is it of the *many* windows/linux wma to mp3 converters fail to convert? Everything from "specificed source format could not be read", or "You need to update to directx 8.1 or above", or "Missing/corrupted keys (DRM)". Does anyone recommend a good wma to mp3 converter? I would like to convert all of my wma file into mp3 for universal compatability. Thanks- Dan

kde-games freezing computer
by edik077＠gmail.com 26 May '08

26 May '08

Ladies & gentlemen, I installed Fedora 9 on grandma's computer. The installation went fine. I decided to place only KDE for her this time to make it easier for her. It looks cool and she manages her way around. The only thing we run into is when my daugther try to play supertuxkarth it froze up, it puzzled me because she played before on my laptop and everything was normal. I couldn't trace the error but I repeated and the only option was to do a cold reset. Ieven couldnt swithc to Ctrl-Alt-F1 or anything. I told her I would take a look tomorrow and to play something else. Later she called me saying that even playing solitarie froze her computer so I told her to go to a virtual console and reboot from there, at least this time she could do it. It seems that any kde-game is freezing her computer. Has anyone run into the same problem? Any idea how to track it down? Any help would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Fedora 9 KDE4 and konsole 25 lines
by Gregory P. Ennis 25 May '08

25 May '08

To all I have been trying konsole as part of KDE4 on Fedora 9, and so far I have not been able to figure out a way to set it up with a limit of 25 lines. Is this a planned feature or am I just missing something obvious. Greg Ennis

livecd on USB kernel upgrade?
by Mick M. 25 May '08

25 May '08

Hello list; I created and updated a live F9 USB drive on a 2G stick. [root@localhost ~]# livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 1131 /home/mick/MyDownloads/Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso /dev/sdc1 Then did a "yum upgrade" in small stages on it. What I would like to know is how to get the new kernel loaded. I made the initrd fine. There is no grub.conf in /boot/grub. If you hit tab at the boot screen the kernel line looks something like this: vmlinuz0 initrd0.img root=UUID=XYXYXrw quiet liveimg overlay=UUID=XYXYXY rhgb check Any ideas? Mick M.
