CF and Swapless Fedora
by Marco Devillers 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi all, I own a Macbook Air and have been running FC9 for a while on that, it is my development machine. The HD committed suicide. Now, I think I'll opt to replace the HD with a CF in SATA mounted drive. Two questions: 1. How big should the CF be? 2. How can I change Fedora such that it will use part of the ram memory for swap? All responses appreciated, thanks.

Going from ODF to MSOffice
by Paul F. Johnson 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, The powers that be want me off my nice clean and completely functional OS onto that pile of ik from MS and part of that is getting my stuff from ODF to Office (not sure if it's 2007 or 2003). I know that I can export as MS Office, or do a bulk import of MS Office to ODF via OOo, but can't do a bulk ODF to MS Office convert. Is there a way to do this? Don't mind if it need another package. Please don't say OOo is available for Win32 - I know it is, but the powers that want me on Office :-(. Anyone who says Office2007 SP2 can import ODF, please don't. It can't correct. It makes a mess of it! TTFN Paul -- It's only me, only me and no-one else.

hde: lost interrupt
by Richard Heck 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I am getting a lot of kernel errors of that type: hde: lost interrupt on one of my servers. (This is actually CentOS, not Fedora.) The errors are intermittent, but when they start they often will just keep coming, and the disk has locked up a couple times completely. Something presumably needs to be replaced, but the question is: What? The drive is a 500GB EIDE drive, connected via a Promise Ultra 100TX2 controller to some ancient motherboard. (This is a 300MHz Pentium II, acting as a server, including a media server.) The controller is needed because the old mobo bios won't deal with such large drives. There's another drive connected to the Promise, as hdf, and I'm not seeing errors from there. So, all in all, it looks as if it's probably the drive, even though the drive is less than a year old. But before I replace it, I thought I'd ask and see if anyone has any other ideas. It'll be a hassle to replace it, since it's part of a volume group, etc. Thanks, Richard Heck

install Eclipse plugins in home folder
by Christoph Höger 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi, in the good old days there used to be a plugins/ folder somewhere inside ~/.eclipse . One could put plugins in this folder and they worked. For f11 (eclipse 3.4) I cannot find this folder anymore. Any ideas where it has gone? Also /usr/{share,lib}/eclipse/{dropins,plugins}/ did not work out. Anybody, please?

Wanted: rpm for GraphicsMagick
by Colin Paul Adams 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

If I do: yum install GraphicsMagick it attempts to install 1.1.14, which is really ancient. I need 1.3.3 at the very least (I think stable is 1.3.7). Does anyone have an rpm available for this? There is a .src.rpm on the sourceforge site, but I can't install this (rpmbuild --rebuild fails with obscure error message - googling doesn't help). -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire

Update to 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586 duplex problem
by Anton Buenavista 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Recently updated kernel to 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586 and now my Fedora system won't boot up. It boots up to the splash screen after which I am greeted with an "alt1 0000:02:00.0: eth0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex" on my screen. It stops there and I am unable to do anything but restart. The old kernels still work. Can anyone advise on how I can remedy this? -- Cheers, Anton Buenavista
