Fedora XFCE Spin install questions
by Richard Shaw 06 May '08

06 May '08

I recently tried installing the F8 XFCE spin on my PII/366 128MB/4.5GB laptop to see if I could get it to limp along a little longer before junking it and ran into a few problems. The first time it booted to the log-in screen (GDM I presume) and when I click on the Fedora use it put the name in the username field and would go no further. It also had a line saying something about auto-logging in in "-2" seconds. I rebooted it and let it come up on it's own and I got to the desktop. I double clicked the Install icon and it worked on that for a before eventually giving up. Is there a way to install this without going into the full desktop? I assume that I ran out of memory even though I have a 500MB swap file already partitioned on the disk. I googled and didn't see a XFCE spin specific mailing list so I'm hoping someone here can help. Thanks, Richard

What front end (PIM?) to use with pilot-link?
by Chris G 05 May '08

05 May '08

I currently use J-pilot on my Fedora machine to link up with my Palm PDA. It's OK but I would like the ability to have reminders of upcoming appointements etc. pop up on my desktop. Are there any PIMs or similar applications available in Fedora which will run in the background under X and produce pop up reminders (or similar)? -- Chris Green

I don't know if it will find its rightful place in the thread, though. I should have said viscous instead of thick for how it should appear. Yes, a thin layer as I did state later. My system has now been on for an hour with no signs of heating up, nor the throttling. Regards, Les H

Anyone uses HP LaserJet P1006 + foo2xqx driver ?
by Reuben D. Budiardja 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hello, I am considering getting HP LaserJet P1006. OpenPrinting database says it's "mostly works". The foo2xqx websites (http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/) says it's "alpha quality". So I am just wondering if anyone uses this printer + foo2xqx driver and could tell me how good it works, and if they recommend this printer to work with Fedora / linux in general or if I'd be better of getting other printer. Thank you for any respond RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept. Physics and Astronomy University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN

Actually I solved my problem after receiving the first mail. Instead of disabling delivery I enabled daily digest and set a mail filter. Every thing now goes well. I've read mailing list guidelines and know it's polite to reply [solved]. But I think that's optional since I haven't seen [solved] in other threads.

And at that time I was not using evolution or any other mail client. Instead I was reading mails on web. And I don't realized the filter can help me.

FC6-FC8 upgrade and MYSQL file conflicts
by Gordon Hay 05 May '08

05 May '08

I upgraded my FC6 system to FC8, and this appeared to be fine. The subsequent "yum update" produced a number of messages like this... file /usr/bin/msql2mysql from install of mysql-5.0.45-6.fc8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-5.0.27-1.fc6.i386 Apparently there are conflicts between the FC8 64-bit packages and the FC6 32-bit packages. How can I get past this? I'm reluctant to "yum remove" then "yum install" in case my databases get lost in the process... Any help will be welcome!

Fedora Unity releases Fedora 8 Updated Re-Spin
by Jeroen van Meeuwen 05 May '08

05 May '08

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO Re-Spins (DVD and CD Sets) of Fedora 8. These Re-Spin ISOs are based on the officially released Fedora 8 installation media and include all updates released as of May 1st, 2008. The ISO images are available for i386, x86_64 and PPC architectures via Jigdo and Torrent starting Monday, May 5th, 2008. Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits! == CD Media Included == We have included CD Image sets for those in the Fedora community that do not have DVD drives or burners available. == Bugs solved in this Re-Spin == With this particular Re-Spin, fixes for the following bugs are included, like on our last Fedora 8 Re-Spin releases[1,2]: - #372011, "depsolve hang in F7 to F8 upgrade" We have incorporated the updates image made by Jeremy Katz (comment #11 in the bug), and we have verified that a full Fedora 7 installation upgrades to Fedora 8 without issues. - #367731, "anaconda fails on Via VPSD motherboard" On i586 hardware, the installation media wouldn't boot and thus renders itself unusable. We have backported the fix for this issue from anaconda development to the Fedora 8 stock anaconda, as anaconda is not updated during a release. - #369611, "yum upgrade with selinux-policy-strict installed fails" A dependency problem in selinux-policy-strict during upgrades is resolved in an updated selinux-policy-strict package, which is included in the Re-Spin - #404601, "anaconda crashes on 'cdrom' line in kickstart" Updates to pykickstart incorporated in the rebuilt installer resolve this issue. - #420281, Cannot find kickstart file during unattended installation The kickstart file name searched for after booting from CD or DVD with option "linux ks" and using a dhcp and nfs server is wrong. == Attention: Changes in this Re-Spin == Also, we would like to let you know that NetworkManager is now installed by default, and for people doing minimal installations; this service will need to be disabled before the network starts to work. == Thanks to == We would like to give a special thanks to the following for testing this Re-Spin: - Harley-D Dana Hoffman Jr - zcat Jason Farrell - iWolf Jeffrey Tadlock - vwbusguy- Scott Williams - baard1973 S.A. Hartsuiker - Southern_Gentleman Ben Williams - nirik Kevin Fenzi - kanarip Jeroen van Meeuwen == Testing Results == A full test matrix can be found at http://spins.fedoraunity.org/Members/Southern_Gentleman/20080501f8testmatrix A full list of bugs, packages and changelogs that have been updated in this Re-Spin can be reviewed on http://spins.fedoraunity.org/changelogs/20080501/ == Previous Re-Spin (20080331) will expire == Due to limited resources, this spin will immediately obsolete 20080331, which will be deleted from our mirrors in the next few days. Fedora Unity has taken up the Re-Spin task to provide the community with the chance to install Fedora with recent updates already included. These updates might otherwise comprise more than 1.33GiB of downloads for a full install. This is a community project, for and by the community. You can contribute to the community by joining our test process. Go to http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins to get the bits! If you are interested in helping with the testing or mirroring efforts, please contact the Fedora Unity team. Contact information is available at http://fedoraunity.org/ or the #fedora-unity channel on the Freenode IRC Network (irc.freenode.net).
