has K3B been abandoned?
by Fred Silsbee 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

K3b is a piece of work... I have 2 CD/DVD burner drives Plextor $120+ Sony $50 Fedora doesn't like the Plextor...I guess after downloading F10 for 9.5 hours, I tried to burn a ISO-DVD. The simplest operation? I wasted 4 blanks making 3 final copies that haved been checked to be good!. The Plextor would get an error and then hang K3B I'd kill it with kill -9 and then the drive would be locked up and even hung the eject command. I had to reboot to open the drive. Sometimes I have to reboot to do a second operation! and even once the "bring things back" facility had the #$%& thing running again. OH YES! an old error reported forever When making an ISO DVD, the verify write facility still doesn't work even on the Sony drive. It says "couldn't find a DVD to verify. Make things easy: if there is an error: (1) release the drive announcing ithat the DVD is no longer blank! (2) eject the DVD (3) terminate all processes and subprocesses that stay running(i.e. die and go away) (4) work on the program some more.

F10 Dependency Problems - Nvidia Drivers
by Charlie McVeigh 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

The last 3 waves of updates for F10 have all started causing me dependency problems with regard to my nvidia video drivers. I am not sure whats up but I was wondering if someone far more enlightened than me could help me with my current upgrade SNAFU. I have waited a couple of days to see it this problem disappears due to repository syncing issues, but it has not. When doing a yum update I am getting the following error message: Transaction Check Error: file /lib/modules/2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64/extra/nvidia/nvidia.ko from install of kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64-180.27-1.fc10.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64-180.25-1.fc10.x86_64 Here are my repos: $ yum repolist Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, fedorakmod, kernel-module, priorities, refresh- : packagekit repo id repo name status adobe Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled: 17 atrpms ATrpms - x86_64 - Stable enabled: 626 fedora Fedora 10 - x86_64 enabled: 14,303 jpackage5 JPackage 5.0 (Generic) enabled: 2,787 jpackage5-nonfree JPackage 5.0 (Non-Free) enabled: 15 kde-redhat KDE-Redhat: Fedora-Specific enabled: 0 kde-redhat-all KDE-Redhat: General Packages enabled: 289 livna rpm.livna.org for 10 - x86_64 enabled: 3 planetccrma Planet CCRMA 10 - x86_64 enabled: 331 planetcore Planet CCRMA Core 10 - x86_64 enabled: 43 rpmfusion-free RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Free enabled: 356 rpmfusion-free-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Free - Upda enabled: 295 rpmfusion-nonfree RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Nonfree enabled: 137 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 - Nonfree - U enabled: 167 skype Skype Repository enabled: 1 updates Fedora 10 - x86_64 - Updates enabled: 4,560 repolist: 23,930 Any ideas on how to get past this issue?

Easiest Way To Move Thunderbird Mail Folders To Another Computer?
by Robert L Cochran 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

I have a .thunderbird email client folder on a Fedora 7 x86_64 system that I need to move to a Fedora 10 x86 system. It occurs to me that if I move this, and then start thunderbird on the new system, I might have trouble because of 64-bit code. Also trouble with updating Enigmail. I want to be sure I can sign and encrypt email messages. Am I better off just moving .thunderbird/[salt].default/Mail/* .thunderbird/[salt].default/abook.mab What file(s) store the email account information? Or, to make a long story short, can I just tar up all of .thunderbird and not worry about conflicts on the 32-bit system? Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA

Has anybody else been experiencing problems with F10 hanging?
by Kevin Martin 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

I'm getting some strange things happening on F10 lately. In a terminal session if I "ps -ef" or "w" or "ls" or anything of that nature the command runs (sometimes) but never returns the prompt. Also, my loadavg seems to go sky high but "top" doesn't necessarily show anything using much CPU (actually, top will often show that my cpu utilization is 90+% idle while my loadavg is upwards of 10). I can usually shutdown my "gui"fied apps (like Thunderbird, Firefox, VirtualBox) but if I try and reboot the reboot hangs while trying to shutdown "automount" and I have to cycle the power on the box. I'm running the latest updates including kernel 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Kevin

gyachi Problems
by mike 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Installed gyachi using YUM and all appeared cool. Everything (including Webcam) until I tried to go to Audio Chat. Then I get tsd22.dll tssoft.acm Can not be found. DUH! Anyone tried this before? Yahoo Messenger clone is the last thing I need to move to a pure Fedora Desktop. Thanks in advance to anyone.

Re: Windowmaker and NetworkManager

Hi Suvayu, On Wed 28/01/09 3:51 PM , suvayu ali fatkasuvayu+linux(a)gmail.com sent: > Hi, > > How do I manage my networks when I am using windowmaker as my desktop > manager? I can connect to my wifi network using NM on Gnome, but in > wmaker, I don't have any Internet connection. I tried running > NetworkManager from terminal, but that didn't help. Any ideas? I use 'docker'[1]. This tool has been the sole reason i switched back to using WindowMaker after having to compromise on using Gnome with all it's bells and whistles, for a long time. After starting docker (and docking the app), you can start off any of the gnome-panel applets and they will appear in docker. I prefer starting off: pidgin -n gnome-power-manager network-manager If you are a regular user of WindowMaker, you might already know about the file ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart, where you can start up network-manager on login. (note, i am not on my laptop right now, so can't confirm the exact commandline, if you have trouble, please let me know and I'll send you my configs when I can) HTH - steve [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/docker http://icculus.org/openbox/2/docker/ -- Linux Centric Marketplace: http://www.tuxcompatible.com

postfix update strangeness?
by Tom Horsley 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

This is probably one of those things I don't really want to know the answer to, but it looked strange so I though I'd ask: Just updated a system, and rather than getting a new version of postfix merely because it was updated, it seemed to go through some convoluted reasoning process to give me a new version: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ... ---> Package postfix-perl-scripts.i386 2:2.5.6-1.fc10 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: postfix = 2:2.5.6-1.fc10 for package: postfix-perl-scripts --> Running transaction check ---> Package postfix.i386 2:2.5.6-1.fc10 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: postfix-perl-scripts i386 2:2.5.6-1.fc10 updates 60 k replacing postfix.i386 2:2.5.5-1.fc10 Updating: ... Updating for dependencies: postfix i386 2:2.5.6-1.fc10 updates 3.8 M Is postfix-perl-scripts being split out of what used to be a combined package or something, and this is how it looks when I update?

26 Feb '09

Another question I know has been answered before but I haven't found it. How do I restore the normal boot text display using inittab set to 3? All I see now is a blue progress bar. Bob
