Toshiba Laptop keyboard problem - FC2

[Rui Alberto L. Gonçalves]

Hi,
I'm running FC2 in a Laptop Toshiba. Everything is working
properly, except for the keyboard. It freezes for about 1 or 2 
seconds and then starts working properly again!! Keys are not 
buffered during the freezing time. (I end up loosing everything I type
 during the freeze)

Any idea?

Thanks for any help.

Rui

fed up with signature!!!

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

I am a little bit fed up with signature in fedora core1: I have cdroms of the
distribution that  I got on the "official" site of fedora.

If I make an install there are some problems on a feww machines: install crashes
because of bad signature...

If I want to add somme packages (from the same cdroms), I always get warning
messages:

warning: package xxxx.rpm signature V3 DSA: NOKEY, key ID 87e600b8

And the most desperate situation:

erreur: k3b-0.11.6-1.xcyb.fc1.i686.rpm: signature V3 DSA: BAD, key ID 87e600b8
erreur: k3b-0.11.6-1.xcyb.fc1.i686.rpm ne peut être installé

package got on web.

Thank you for any answer.

For k3b use: rpm --import http://www.xcyb.org/xcyborg.asc (you only
have to do this once).  For the other packages, you can find the keys
to import here: http://fedorafaq.org/#gpgsig

Hope this helps.

dont use rpm --import http://fedorafaq.org/#gpgsig open
http://fedorafaq.org/#gpgsig with your web browser, and import the
keys mentioned on that web page.

Reboot and hd shutdown

[Andreas Weggel]

hi,

everytime I reboot my computer (under FC2) via ctrl+alt+del or via the reboot 
command. My hard discs are are disabled like when you halt your PC.

This already happend in FC1.

Does anybody know how I can prevent reboot from shutting down my hard discs?

Andy

Reboot and hd shutdown

[Rotariu Bogdan-Stefan]

check /etc/inittab
'# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now'
if its exactly like this check your bios

it is exactly like that but:

Suse, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, FreeBSD, Windows, arch linux, ark linux

do it correctly...

I just found out that the md driver is responseable for the shutting down of 
my hd drives.

after reboot has finished the message:

md: shutting down hard drives
hda: shut down
hdb: shut down

appears and after that my hard discs are off...

md seems to be static in the kernel, so how can I change that behavior?

When I try to start mdmpd manuelly (because at boot time there is an error) I 
get:

/etc/init.d/mdmpd start
mdmpd starten: Kernel md module does not support events
                                                           [FAILED]

IIRC, the shutdown is to assure that the write caches on certain hard
drives are properly flushed...without the powerdown, some drives don't
handle this properly thus possibly loosing data.

Andy,

This is a feature of the kernel which has been modified since the release of FC2 to 
leave the drives powered up on reboot.    So, upgrading your kernel will fix it for you.
