Exaile shoutcast list
by Steve Dowe
Hi,
I've been using Exaile in F13 and 14 for a while. In 13, the shoutcast
list of genres seemed "correct", in that expanding a folder (genre) to
browse the stations always worked.
I listen to drum and bass quite a bit, and in F13 this was listed as
"DnB". In F14, this is listed as "Drum and Bass", but every time I try
to expand the folder to browse stations I get an error message in
Exaile's status bar: Error connecting to shoutcast server.
This problem doesn't happen when browsing a more established genre such
as "Blues". Expanding that folder consistently works. I'm thinking
that someone may have changed the genres in the list without them
mapping back to shoutcast's list.
Any advice on how to fix this please?
Many thanks,
Steve

Installation problem
by 外川 康徳
Hello,
I have downloaded i386 install cd-image iso files and tried
toinstall those. But it failed indicating message on the
screen following;
---------------------------------------------------------------
Running anaconda 14.22, the Fedora system insaller - please wait.
**:**:** The following error was found while parsing the kickstart
configuration file:
Section does not end with %%end.
insall exited abnormally [1/1]
The system will be rebooted when you press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the very early phase of installation; this occurred
reading 1st cd image.
I'm not able to install fedora on my PC due to this problem.
Does anyone have solution for this?

Subject: About programing, a general question
hi,
If one has to start from the scratch, from the zeroth level to do the programing, which programing language one should start with? In the ocean of the languages, to start with is really very typical. Can one justify it. Some say Python but again they say it is Perl which is better every time then the Python. Some say to start with C or C++ but again some emphasis to use Java or C#. Many say to go for .Net and VB or COBOL and some say to learn web based programing like HTML, PHP, ASP.Net. In this ocean who is just starting to learn which one he should prefer?
Many say that what is the purpose of learning, then I say that to have the basic understanding of how exactly we can handle the machines like the CPU. Not to generate the big projects for the management processes, not even banking system but to know the basic of programing like how to handle the machines at the first, for that purpose, for the the scratch level purpose and for the one which is good even for Linux, what programing language should one like me, initiate?
________________________________
To avoid religious wars....
The "best" programming language, is the one you feel most comfortable with, obviously.
Though i was lucky enough to avoid basic, i grew up with assembly, C, plm, Pascal, fortran, cobol, chill, all sorts of shell's, perl.
In the very old days, if you needed to sqeeze any cycle out of the cpu, you were stuck with assembly.
Some years later, the code produced by C-compilers has been getting that good that even modest time-critical routines for accessing hardware were do-able.
Biggest advantage was that code became hw-independant.
Each language has/had its own advantages/drawbacks. At one point in time i "discovered" the swiss-army-knife of languages: perl. Since then nomore sh korn,bourne, c-shell, awk or grep anymore. Though it looks like Python is replacing perl currently.
First rush of hobby-level programmers was getting asap "some results", quality was not relevant.
Specially with basic it is possible to produce spagetty-code. (though you can actually produce unreadable code with any language)
When i left university, they were teaching Pascal at first-years students. It encourage you to think about data-structures and so on.
Thoughy i understand that in this day-and-age, it has been replaced with C++ and Java.
So for really learning coding, i would suggest starting with C, and later on switch to C++ / java.
For doing (semi-) production, it's anothert game: see my first line, but it all boils down to the same rules.
- get to know the hardware-environment you are dealing with (extensive playing, no production code)
- make a top-level design (what are the requirements)
- make a detailed design (how are you going to do it)
- do not re-invent the wheel (there are zillions of libraries: use them)
- work modular
- User interface? Think about multi-language
- define entry/exit conditions
- define where you check conditions
- timing or race-conditions?
- use a versioning system
- ....
So actually the programming language is the least of your concern.
Coding style and practices is all. And stick to it.

enabling Bluetooth in Fedora
by Ranjan Maitra
I am a complete novice in this so pardon the naivete of the question. I
was wondering if there is an easy way to enable Bluetooth in F14. I
have a Thinkpad T61 and a Dell Latitude 5400 laptop apiece, and my hope
is to use the Bluetooth to use my GPRS phone as well as wireless mobile
while I am traveling. The providers do not seem to be excited about
Linux support.
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Upgrading : give me strength ...
by Beartooth
I've tried all the tricks on this list a/o the troubleshooting
site, over and over. I finally gave up : downloaded and burned a DVD --
and *still* hit the catch-22 error, with too little space in mnt/sysimage/
boot.
Now what?
Can I simply delete all of /boot, or everything in it? All of
grub.conf? Or what? It's going to be a royal pain if I have to burn all
my data to media, and then sneakermail that back onto each machine,
instead of just upgrading f11 ....

Fedora14: Strange and intermittent very slow disks on server
by Terry Barnaby
This is a strange one.
I have a home server (Pentium Core 2, Intel ICH10, 1G RAM, 2x SATA 1TByte
disks in Raid1, 1x 2TByte SATA and 1 x 1TByte SATA). This is used for normal
NFS and MythTv usage as well as httpd, network routing openvpn etc. It has been
running for about 2 years and 1 year under Fedora12 with no issues.
I have recently updated it to Fedora14 and updated the disks to the above
configuration (Was 3 x 320G SATA in Raid5 + 2x 1TByte SATA).
Generally all works fine, but the system has recently started going into a
a running very very slow mode. Once running slow it can take 5mins to login
on an NFS mounted client. Running commands through a ssh take an age. Top
reports low CPU usage (< 5% but the wait time is above 80%). There is
obviously an issue with disk IO and processes being locked out of disk
access for large periods. Rebooting does not normally clear the issue
but sometimes does.
There do not appear to be any processes doing large amounts of disk IO,
ksysguard reports low disk IO bandwidth in use. I have killed off most of
the processes when the system was running slow with no real effect.
When the problem occurs the Disk I/O is very very slow, normally
"hdparam -t /dev/sd..." gives around 90MBytes/sec. When in slow mode it can
be as low as 2MBytes/sec. Disk I/O tests as the ext4 file system level are
just the same (writes being even worse). This slowness applies to all of the
disks most of which are not being accessed otherwise.
A yum update (on a reasonably fast Internet link) took 6 hours (should
have been more like 10 mins).
There are no messages in /var/log/messages or from dmesg.
It is also intermittent. I have rebooted it a few times, sometimes
when it comes up it is fine, and other times it is not.
The two main RAID1 disks are WD10EARS (Green). I have seen reported some
issues with the performance of these but in my case they appear to work
fine when the system is running ok. Also the system has a WD10EVD disk and
this also goes slow when the problem occurs.
This is with kernel 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686.PAE.
I tried installing 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE and booted with that and all was
fine, however when I went back to 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686.PAE it was still fine.
I will run with 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE for a while and see if the problem
re-occurs with that kernel.
Anyone seen this sort of behaviour before ?
Any ideas one where to look ?
Cheers

scp with IPV6
by Joachim Backes
Hi, having a scp problem with IPV6:
I want to copy a local file to a remote server without DNS entry via the
server IPV6 address
(for example "scp file 2001:638:208:ef45:0:ff:fe00:65:)
Syntactical Problem: The first server part (2001) is interpreted as
target host name, the rest as filename, and that produces problems.
I only can solve this problem by making an /etc/hosts entry like
2001:638:208:ef45:0:ff:fe00:65 server
and using "server" instead of the IPV6 address.
Any other solution?
NB: ssh to that IVP6 address runs flawlessly.
Kind regards

sendmail problem in F14
by Dave Stevens
I use kmail with Fedora 14 and have a problem with sending an email to a Yahoo
address. The mail appears (I'm guessing) to be too big for the recipient's
mailbox but I get no bounce message. Rather, after some putzing around I've
been able to get this:
[root@davehost ~]# mailq
/var/spool/mqueue (1 request)
-----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------
Sender/Recipient-----------
oBE00415002020*10549593 Mon Dec 13 16:03 <geek(a)uniserve.com>
(reply: read error from d.mx.mail.yahoo.com.)
<jsr_art(a)yahoo.com>
Total requests: 1
It appears that there is some bandwidth-eating back and forth going on between
sendmail on my computer and the Yahoo MTA. I'd be happy to purge this job but
the sendmail docs are not transparent (enough) and I wonder if anyone can
refer me to an appropriate info source.
TIA
