EDAC i5000 NON-FATAL ERRORs
by Jack Howarth
I noticed that after upgrading the kernel on a Fedora 7 x86_64
box is the latest kernel (the box hadn't been rebooted for some months)
that I am now seeing the following in my messages log...
May 25 04:30:56 fourier kernel: EDAC i5000 MC0: NON-FATAL ERRORS Found!!! 1st NON-FATAL Err Reg= 0x10000
May 25 04:30:56 fourier kernel: EDAC MC0: CE row 1, channel 0, label "": (Branch=0 DRAM-Bank=3 RDWR=Read RAS=14339 CAS=672, CE Err=0x10000)
These messages always occur on DRAM-Bank 3 and are always NON-FATAL. The messages appear roughly once
an hour and are rarely repeated immediately. This machine contains a Tyan Tempest i5000XL motherboard
with ECC memory installed. Does anyone know if the recent kernels had any changes which made these
motherboard chipset report ECC memory errors which were not reported in the past? I haven't been
able to reproduce these errors in memtest86 yet with or without ECC. So I am wondering if I am seeing
noise from the EDAC driver or real ECC errors. Thanks in advance for any insights on this.

gecko-mediaplayer?
by Knute Johnson
I installed F9 and was trying to listen to my favorite radio station but
I couldn't find mplayerplug-in. Some of you said to get
gecko-mediaplayer instead. I downloaded it with no problems and it
shows up in the plugins list but it doesn't work. There is also a
Mozplugger at the top that appears not to be configured properly.
MozPlugger 1.10.1 handles QuickTime and Windows Media Player Plugin
File name: nswrapper_32_32.mozplugger.so
MozPlugger version 1.10.1, written by Fredrik Hübinette, Louis
Bavoil and Peter Leese.
For documentation on how to configure mozplugger, check the man
page. (type man mozplugger)
Configuration file: Not found!
Helper binary: Not found!
Controller binary: Not found!
It lists al the mime types below this and they are all enabled. Any
ideas where to start trying to figure out why it doesn't work?
Thanks,
knute...

What is odd, it seems, that when you create an IMAP
account, in the "Server Settings" area, there is a
"Security Settings" section there where authenication
can be defined, however, there is also a "Outgoing
Server (SMTP)" section that has a "Security And
Authenication" section which duplicates it, ie the
"None", "TLS, if available", ...
What is not clear to me in the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)"
section, "Use name and password", how do you enter both
the username and password in this single field? What is
the delimiter? A space between the two?
I have configured my Exchange server to allow all local
only relays, and I even see the log entries identifying
connections, and there appears in it, no errors as to
failed deliveries. It seems very transparent.
I have no clue where the problem is, I get no returned
failed delivery return messages. It is very transparent,
or so it seems.
I wonder if I should use F8's sendmail for Outbound
deliveries on the F8 system, providing I have the option
to bypass the IMAP account's Outgoing server settings.
I remembered why I abandoned Thunderbird and it was
because I could not figure out how to make outbound
non-local deliveries.
Sigh.... it is going to be a long day.

I have the F8-Thunderbird account IMAPed to my SMTP server,
so I can read/send local email messages to local users. But
I cannot send email Thurnerbird (IMAP) outbound non-local
messages.
I can use windoes outlook to send/receive local/remote emails
via the same SMTP server from which this message was sent.
I am trying to figure out why via F8->Thunderbird remote
outbound email messages are "refused" (Thunderbird give the
appearance of no errors) - I tried to send a message to
Fedora-Users but was unable to do so.
Any ideas?

| IMAP and SMTP are completely and utterly independant of each

| mailboxes, means absolutely nothing to SMTP. You have to set it up
| separately.
Understood. I was not exactly clear if by using an IMAP client,
that messages delivered via IMAP acts as if the message was sent
directly via the SMTP server as an authorized user, no different
that using an Outlook client - but that may be a wrong assumption
so it seems.

Yes, that may be the case. Outlook (not Outlook Express) is connected
to the Exchange server from a windows workstation (or server) and it
probably already "knows" how to authenicate, thus allows remote delivery
(in other words, it was not a relay issue.

| What do you mean "refused"? Is this a pop-up message on your screen,
| a returned error email, or what? Is there no indication of why it's
| refused? Is it refused by your local server or by a remote server? Are
| you using a fully-qualified domain name for the destination
| or some kind of local alias?
By refused, I mean there is no indication that there was a delivery
failure, no pop-ups, nothing. It was totally transparent. It wasn't
until I realized that my outbound message to Fedora-User never
got there.
Thanks!

My main server is Exchange. You do have a point there, that
I may have relay restrictions for outbound deliveries but
local deliveries work. Ah, I'll have to check this out.

F9 tftp broken?!
by Christian Schuermann
Hi there,
I just upgraded from F8 but unfortunately I can't convince tftp to do
what it is supposed to do.
My dhcpd is configured with the next-server option pointing to my new F9
tftp-server. Just like this:
# cat /etc/dhcpd.conf
[...]
next-server 192.168.178.15;
filename "pxelinux.0";
[...]
When I try to pxeboot one of my clients it gets an ip address from the
dhcp-server but fails to fetch the pxelinux.0 file. After a few seconds
it runs into a timeout
PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout
On the tftp machine everything seems fine
# netstat -an | grep :69
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:*
except one little thing: On my old F8 tftp machine a process called
in.tftp was created whenever as soon as the first client connected
$ ps -e | grep in.tftp
28827 ? 00:00:00 in.tftpd
That one is missing on the new F9 machine.
There are a few things in bugzilla concerning tftp but nothing that
really helps me here. I recently upgraded to tftp-server-0.48-6.fc9.i386
but this didn't help either.
Any ideas? Should I bugzilla?

nvidia drivers now available from livna - has anyone tried?
by Eric Mesa
Up until now I've been holding back from upgrading to F9 (from F8) because
of the lack of nvidia drivers. My dual-head setup works just fine and I
didn't want to muck about in xorg.conf to fix it up until the new nvidia
driver became available. So every day I've been trawling the net for news
of Xorg 7.4 to come out or an nvidia driver to be released. On the Xorg
front, the news is not good. They've changed their release date from May
2008 to 2008. Yeah....
But I did come upon this linuxquestions.org thread (
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/fedora-9-nvidia-problem...)
where, near the bottom they mention that livna now has drivers. I
checked, and they do. http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/
So I have two questions:
1) Has anyone tried this? Does it in fact work with Fedora 9's pre-release
Xorg 7.4? I don't use Compiz, but I do use 3D acceleration for games and
Blender
2) If I were to go the preupgrade route, do I first install the livna Fedora
9 repo package and then preupgrade? (I have some other livna packages
installed) Do I preupgrade and then install the latest livna repo package?
Does preupgrade fail with this type of situation? Should I just do yum
upgrade again?
Thanks!

Re: nvidia drivers now available from livna - has anyone tried?
by Antti Aspinen
1. I'm currently running Fedora 9 using Livna nvidia drivers and my
games work all right. (etqw) KDE's desktop effects work ok too but I
don't use them. :)
2. I am pretty sure that preupgrade method is not worth trying at the
moment. I did it at first. It was crash-ill but everything went smoothly
to the point that it had everything installed. My problems started when
anaconda told me to reboot. Fedora9 didn't boot because it couldn't find
hard drives. I had also other problems with it. I don't suggest that way
exept for testing what's it a like in future. And to send suggestions of
course.
I didn't install livna-repo-f9 package since I thought that
preupgrade/anaconda will be smart enought to update configs too. So that
I can install it later and then upgrade those packages.
I suggest yum upgrade if you don't want to do clean install or download
fedora9 dvd for the sake of upgrading.
