F16 64, read multimedia format: RPMFusion & Livna / FedoraUnity
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi all, In order to be able to play mp3, DivX, Wmv,... I searched and found http://fedoraunity.org/solved/post-install-solutions/yum-config/ So: rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.no… rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-sta… I was on a hurry, so I just made it, but: - Is FedoraUnity a famous source of information for Fedora? - Are RPMFusion and Livna good enough 3rd party rpm providers? I'm not up to date yet about all Fedora tips and tricks... Thanks for your help. -- RMA.

Can't install on Hardware SATA RAID10 on startech.com ICPSATA4R1
by Gary Stainburn 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi folks. Having been badly burned again with software RAID I've opted for a hardware RAID controller, buying the one above. However, I cannot install Fedora. I've tried 14 and 16. Both installs see the hardware RAID http://www1.ringways.co.uk/RAID_detected.jpeg but when I select it and try install the system crashes. http://www1.ringways.co.uk/RAID_debug.jpeg I've installed the controller, 4x500GB drives and configured RAID10 through the controller's BIOS before booting from the Fedora DVD. Any ideas what I can do next? -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T. Manager Ringways Garages http://www.ringways.co.uk

How does one set system ssh keys?
by don fisher 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

The man page talks about /etc/rc, not there. I know how to run ssh-keygen for my account. But how does one update the the keys in /etc/ssh. My keys currently have a group password set to jackuser (999) rather than ssh_keys (997), so I am assuming that there is a system tool to set this up? Thanks don

Kernel 2.6.42.7 breaks lirc for imon 0xffdc on Fedora 15
by Rodney Morris 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

After upgrading my Antec Fusion 430 based machine to kernel 2.6.42.7, my imon 0xffdc ir receiver stopped working. With the machine running the 2.6.42.7 kernel, irw and evtest show no scan codes or keys presses, though the log indicates that lirc is accepting clients. Here are the relevant log entries showing that lirc is accepting clients: lircd-0.9.0[1113]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd lircd-0.9.0[1113]: initializing '/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_ffdc-event-if00' lircd-0.9.0[1113]: removed client lircd-0.9.0[1113]: closing '/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_ffdc-event-if00' Booting the machine to the 2.6.41.9 kernel restores lirc functionality. Here, inline, is the lirc config file for this machine: /etc/sysconfig/lirc: # Note: in addition to these parameters, you need to have working -*- sh -*- # configuration file for lircd (and lircmd if enabled). # Options to lircd(8). Typically, this will be empty, as which driver to use # should be specified using the LIRC_DRIVER variable below. LIRCD_OPTIONS="" # The infrared receiver (and/or transmitter) driver to be used by lircd(8), # similar to passing "-H driver" to lircd(8). # Run "/usr/sbin/lircd -H help" to get a listing of supported drivers. LIRC_DRIVER="devinput" # Which lirc device will be used by lircd(8). # This is the same as passing "-d device" to lircd. # An empty value will use the default /dev/lirc0 device. LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-id/usb-15c2_ffdc-event-if00" # If "yes", the init script will try to start lircmd(8) too. ENABLE_LIRCMD="no" # Options to lircmd(8). LIRCMD_OPTIONS="" Is anyone else seeing the same behavior? Am I missing something? Is this a known bug? Rod

Scan does not work on either F-16 box -
by Bob Goodwin 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

this is an up to date F-16/64 bit computer. I reported last week that my trusty HP 5370 scanner didn't work, finally concluding that it must have met it's end. Today I received a new Canon LIDE 110 which according to a Sane list I found is supposed to work. It does not, lsusb shows: [bobg@box6 ~]$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:1909 Canon, Inc. CanoScan LiDE 110 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c408 Logitech, Inc. Marble Mouse (4-button) Fedora still reports "no devices available" the same as with the HP 5370. I suppose that it's possible that the required driver is not included in Fedora-16 but I don't know how to determine what is, at least I haven't yet. This is one of those things that usually just works and now it's becoming a science project! Am I the only one with this problem. I have two F-16/64 computers and both respond the same way. Help would be greatly appreciated. Bob

Katello
by Zoltan Hoppar 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, One of the community members from the hungarian site has made an question and asked me to forward here. So it's maybe already answered somewhere, but I don't know the correct answer - and I don't want to say useless things. So, the question is the following: Is it possible to maintain preupgrade on multiple machines one by one or all together at once with Katello? If yes, then what is the solution? There is another need for further modules softwares - like cobbler/koan or Katello is enough? Thanks, Zoltan -- PGP: 06853DF7

system-config-network makes alias for my network name
by don fisher 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

What is the reason that system-config-network adds an alias to my network names whenever I load it? I become tired of deleting them. I thus try to avoid the tool whenever I can. Can I tell it via some config file to leave things alone? It assigns the alias when it starts up, so I think I have no option if I wish to use the tool.

Scanning mystery
by SternData 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

If I scan from my HP 8500A using the automatic document feeder and GScan2PDF, the scanner feeds paper but nothing appears in the program (from either side of the page). If I have it scan from the glass, then scanning works, but I have to manually feed pages. If I scan via hp-scan --adf, scanning works as expected with the automatic document feeder. Both programs use the same device, Using device hpaio:/usb/Officejet_Pro_8500_A910?serial=CN16HCR00K Any ideas? -- -- Steve
