Streaming media server
by Wendell Nichols 29 May '09

29 May '09

I currently play my music (which is stored in a file system on a server on my home network) by mounting the filesystem via nfs and playing the files in amarok. However if any disruption to the wireless network occurs, I lose the mount and, as you know, its hell to recover an nfs mount if the network has failed. What I'd like to have is something like a shoutcast server that would serve up my collection over a network connection or somesuch. I installed icecast but it doesn't seem appropriate for playing disk based music collections.. meybe I'm wrong about that. Any suggestions? wcn

Re: f10 install, still no X [success with xdriver=vesa vga=792]
by Jackson Byers 28 May '09

28 May '09

David, thanks for your suggestions re the xorg wiki I had already tried Xorg -configure to generate an xorg.conf, but that by itself not enough to boot to X I have since found that I _can_ boot to X _if_ I use as kernel parameters xdriver=vesa vga=792 I had been using these for a couple of days without success, so it is some combination of steps that finally succeeded. If i remove those parameters, again no booting to X specifically, the first stanza in grub.conf does not boot to X; the second stanza does: # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd1,7) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sdb8 default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd1,7)/grub/splash.xpm.gz ***hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)root (hd1,7) scsi_mod.scan=sync root (hd1,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=f3e0f6cf-c687-4d8e-b 08b-3a27f2f79766 rhgb quiet scsi_mod.scan=sync initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)root (hd1,7)scsi_mod.scan=sync vesa vga=792 root (hd1,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=f3e0f6cf-c687-4d8e-b 08b-3a27f2f79766 rhgb quiet scsi_mod.scan=sync xdriver=vesa vga=792 initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img [I am now using a separate /boot partition sdb8, with f10 / still on sda1 but I dont think that is the issue] more than a month ago when I was still trying to use livecd (not install) i found then that i needed those parameters for the livecd to boot to X but i had forgotten all about it, until I tried a few days ago on the f10dvd install, but then it had no effect. Somehow using those kernel parameters coupled with my various attempts "init 5" to get an apparently error free Xorg.0.log and perhaps the final startx -- :1 did the magic trick. I cant reconstruct exact set of steps I took to get here: About 1 week ago, may24? I did Xorg -config to generate xorg.conf.new and copied it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and redid system-ccnfig-display -v then "init 5" but those steps by itself still not booting to X I redid the install on may 26, again copied the xorg.conf and again system-ccnfig-display -v; init 5 still no X tried startx -- :1 but it gave DRM errors in Xorg.1.log: [root@localhost log]# ls -l X* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40137 2009-05-28 07:17 Xorg.0.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40677 2009-05-28 07:16 Xorg.0.log.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38695 2009-05-27 03:55 Xorg.1.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 835 2009-05-26 12:26 Xorg.setup.log [root@localhost log]# grep EE Xorg.1.log (EE) MGA(0): [drm] Could not boot-strap DMA (-16) (EE) MGA(0): failed to destroy server context [root@localhost log]# same msg in Xorg.setup.log evidently those EE not preventing X or those EE no longer in effect. Summary: for my system with the f10dvd i need xdriver=vesa vga=792 Can anyone tell me why these necessary and/or where documented? Jack

networking question
by Gerhard Magnus 28 May '09

28 May '09

One thing I've always liked about computers is that it's possible for one to do so much more than one understands; a little knowledge turns out to have a great deal of leverage. But now I'd like to backtrack a bit and learn something about the LAN I've already cobbled together. My interface with the Internet is an Actiontec DSL modem (which I then have connected to a router.) When I use a browser to look at the modem's "status" window I see it's connected to a WAN (wide-area network?) which I assume is administered by my ISP. The WAN information includes an "IP address" and a "Gateway" which differ only in their last two sections (i.e. IP address xxx.xxx.181.193 and Gateway xxx.xxx.180.1) Why are these two addresses needed? (I'm thinking my LAN would only need one IP address.) Thanks for the help on what's probably a very elementary question....

No sound from Flash (YouTube)
by Ian Pilcher 28 May '09

28 May '09

I'm not sure when this broke; it was working at some point. Other sounds work, but Flash gives me nothing but silence. This is 64-bit Fedora 10 with flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com ========================================================================

Re: preupgrade F10 --> Rawhide [SOLVED]
by "Germán A. Racca" 28 May '09

28 May '09

Well, I have checked the grub.conf and I realized that the line "default=1" was wrong, and I put "default=0" and now booted correctly. Thanks Konstantino, I think in that link must be a similar solution. Thanks again, German.

Say what? ::jaw drops to floor and slams back up:: That is, without a doubt, one of the most 'mis-guided' things I ever heard on here. If that were even a slightly legitimate argument, then you could not use ANY software at all. My brain hurts so badly right now...

preupgrade F10 --> Rawhide
by "Germán A. Racca" 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hello everybody: I have recently run "preupgrade" in my Fedora 10, and I choosed to upgrade to Rawhide. The "preupgrade" program made all the necessary tasks (downloaded fc11 packages, etc.) and when finished it asked to reboot. I rebooted and I got a black screen saying "GRUB _" (the _ is blinking) and it reminds in the same way since 30 minutes ago. My question: is it working or I get an error? May I reboot again? Please...can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, German. -- Germán A.

What software is missing in the Fedora repository?
by Rahul Sundaram 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi, I am doing a quick survey for software that you use on a regular basis that is not available via the Fedora repository. Software that you suggest should be free and open source, free of patent and other legal issues. Tell me the home page of the software and give me a brief description on what it does. Bonus points if you can see in Google for "software-name fedora package review" to figure it if it is already in the Fedora package review queue. If you know of RPM packages in other distributions for the software your are suggesting, that information is useful as well. Rahul
