again cannot play audio cd's
by Joachim Backes 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

As some months ago, it's no more possible to play audio cd's in the moment: looking in /var/log/messages, I found some lines: Sep 29 13:08:45 eule kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr1, logical block 1 Sep 29 13:08:45 eule kernel: sr 1:0:1:0: [sr1] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE Sep 29 13:08:45 eule kernel: sr 1:0:1:0: [sr1] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] Sep 29 13:08:45 eule kernel: Info fld=0x0, ILI Sep 29 13:08:45 eule kernel: sr 1:0:1:0: [sr1] Add.

anthy/ibus update broken?
by Stuart McGraw 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I just did an update of some packages on my F11 system including updates to: ibus-1.1.0.20090829-1 ibus-anthy-1.1.0.20090829-1 ibus-gtk-1.1.0.20090829-1 ibus-libs-1.1.0.20090829-1 anthy-9100h-8 (I don't know what the pre-update versions were.) Now I find ibus/anthy no longer works. When I type Alt+grave to enable the IME, nothing happens. Ibus is running and its icon is on the Gnome panel. I checked its preferences setting to confirm that alt+grave is still the key sequence to enable it, and that anthy is still the default (and only) input method. No idea where to go from here. Suggestions?

sed, awk, or something...help meeeeeeeeeee
by Ranbir 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi All, I don't know if I should use sed for what I'm about to ask, but it seems like a good idea. If awk is better, or something else entirely, that's fine too. I have two files. File "1" looks like this: AA BB CC DD AA BB CC DD File "2" looks like this: BBBB1 BBBB2 BBBB3 So, "BB" in file "1" always occurs in the same spot (i.e. between lines AA and CC). Knowing that, how do I replace the first occurrence of "BB" in file "1" with "BBBB1" from file 2, the second occurrence of "BB" in file "1" with "BBBB2" from file 2, and so on? I think a bash 'for' or 'while' loop may be useful here, too. But, it's the sed/awk/whatever bits I don't know how to do. I've read some of the man/info page, looked up sed help on the net, etc. I'm still not sure how to do the above with sed. Thanks in advance!

I think something is 'stuck' on the fedoara-list ?!?
by Bill Case 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi; I have sent 2 or three posts to the mailing list but have not received a return copy of those posts. I have double checked the archive list and the posts are there. My user profile is checked 'yes' to receive a copy of my own posts. It has always worked up to a couple of days ago. Is there a problem anyone knows about? -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1

Power cut woes
by Philip Heron 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi all, I have an old PC running F10, setup to play a simple animation in a display. Nothing fancy. Yesterday the town was hit with a series of power cuts which seems to have well and truely mucked it up. I took a picture of the kind of errors I'm getting: http://www.bacomponents.co.uk/f10-startup-errors.jpeg The HAL bit sits for ages, then the screen blanks. X fails to start, trying to login on the console gives me a password error, and ssh fails to connect. I've run e2fsck on the disk and it seems fine. Should I just nuke it and start again? Or is there a handy way to fix it? -Phil

bind-chroot directory permissions?
by Tom Horsley 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

I recently enabled dynamic DNS for the virtual machines I've been installing and named started getting errors (running as chroot) trying to write .jnl files to the /var/named directory under the chroot. Fixing the directory to be root:named 770 instead of root:named 750 took care of that. Then with the recent update of bind and bind-chroot, I started seeing these messages in the log: Sep 25 08:03:21 zooty named[12710]: dumping master file: tmp-PDw9vymVVL: open: permission denied I'm not sure what directory it is trying to write those in, but I found and chmodded a few more directories and haven't seen one of those messages since. Should directory permissions be adjusted in one or more of the rpms to take these things into account?

scim - Fedora 11
by Craig White 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Maybe it's me and my lack of understanding about this but it seems that since I updated to Fedora 11, that scim-python works only in KDE programs like Kwrite, Konsole but not in gnome (evolution, pidgin, OOo). No matter what I do in those 3 programs, I only have English for input language, even if the SCIM icon in the system tray shows 'Python Pin Yin' $ rpm -qa|grep scim scim-1.4.8-3.fc11.i586 scim-python-pinyin-0.1.13rc1-5.fc11.i586 scim-libs-1.4.8-3.fc11.i586 scim-python-0.1.13rc1-5.fc11.i586 $ rpm -qa|grep zh autocorr-zh-3.1.1-19.2.fc11.i586 openoffice.org-langpack-zh_CN-3.1.1-19.2.fc11.i586 Am I missing something? Is there a gnome package that's needed? I don't mean to make this a question for Ed. ;-) Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

How to install Apache w/ PHP when "yum install httpd php" fails?
by Kelly Jones 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

I did "yum install httpd php" to install Apache w/ PHP, and created a test page with "<?php phpinfo(); ?>". When I visit it and view source, I get back "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" instead of my PHP config. /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf says nothing about PHP, so I suspect I did the install wrong. How do I enable PHP support in Apache? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

The messages, from other > computer to my PC are: > > $ ssh xx.xx.xx.xx > ssh: connect to host xx.xx.xx.xx port 22: No route to host > OK, so what can we learn from this? Your notebook has a working configuration of the SSH server and it can be found on the network. Your "other computer" probably has a good configuration of the SSH client. If you end up with SSH troubles, knowing which systems have known-good setups can be very important. But from what you've told me, I don't yet suspect SSH is the problem, there's something else. You aren't even reaching SSH on the computer you want to get to. > $ ping xx.xx.xx.xx >>From xx.xx.xx.xx icmp_seq=11 Destination Host Unreachable So if I understand things, there are three computers here: The "PC", which is the computer you're trying to access, let's call that "Alpha", another computer, let's call it "Baker", and your notebook, let's call it "Charlie". Baker can "ssh into" Charlie. But neither Baker nor Charlie can ssh into Alpha. And Alpha is the one you really need to reach. Further,you can't even ping Alpha, you get the "no route to host" errors. Since you get them from two different computers, Baker and Charlie, I'm more suspicious that something on Alpha is the problem, or something on the network (the common link) is wrong. If I were there, I would check a few things. I'd log on to Alpha and see what I can do FROM that computer. Can you browse the Web, ping other computers, and so forth? That might tell us a lot. For example, if the network cable on that computer is loose or broken, you'd see these problems. Then, I'd try to look at the equipment itself: What is the computer connected to on the network? For example, it might go into a network box right there in the room, or it might just go into the wall. If the first case is true, then you can check the network connections that are there. If the network cable goes into the wall, you probably need to talk to the network admins for help. When other posters were asking about your physical setup, this is what they were asking about. If you can reboot Alpha, or at least restart its network service, you might cure the problem too. But you need to know if Alpha is working right first; don't just turn it off if you don't have to.
