Re: Yam repository for Fedora howto ?
Yam is used to setup local mirrors of yum / atp / uptodate repositories for fedora and other rpm systems. Grate if you have a lot of servers to update / install, it save a lot of badwidth.

Hello, i have Fedora 9 i386, with adobe flash installed . What i found strange is, that flash animation is "over" menus and text. Normally it should be "under" and not on top of as it is now.

Let’s make Fedora 10 best yet!
Fedora 10 Alpha is out and Fedora developers and Red Hat have asked us to join in and provide feedback [1]. First you need to download [2] Fedora 10 Alpha then read instructions [3] on how to provide feedback back to Fedora developers. If you have trouble booting up Fedora 10 Live CD - give your feedback, if you have problem installing CD or DVD versions - give your feedback, some piece of hardware fails on Fedora - give your feedback, if you see some application not working as it should - you got it by now :). Le't take this chance and make together Fedora 10 the best Fedora release so far! If you have any problems understandig some part of providing feedback you can contact me or even better join Fedora users mailing lists [4]. If you prefer there is also a IRC channel on feenode.net servers - just follow these instructions [5]. Some of the exciting new features in Fedora 10 are: • RPM 4.6 • Brand new boot environment • Wireless connection sharing • Improved audio system • Security audit utility • Better webcam support • Improved infrared remote control support • Haskell support • OCaml support • Upstream bugfixes, improvements and enhancements. A bit expanded explanation of some great new features: * Glitch free audio. The revolutionary PulseAudio stack has been enhanced to use timer-based scheduling. This means that it uses less power, is more hardware independent, and adjusts dynamically to keep audio data flowing without interruption — minimizing drop outs. * Sectool. Fedora 10 will feature a brand new security auditing and intrusion detection system. It has both text and graphical front ends, features highly configurable groups for adjusting test runs, and is completely modular and extensible. Administrators and the community at large can write their own tests to extend its functionality even further. * Connection Sharing. Fedora 10 delivers on the promise of NetworkManager's "Create new wireless network" tool, with easy setup of an ad-hoc wifi network on any machine with a network connection and a spare wireless card. If the machine has primary network connection (wired, 3G, second wireless card), routing is set up so that devices connected to the ad-hoc wifi network can share the connection to the outside network. The best thing is to keep checking out the ever-changing Fedora 10 feature list [6]. You can also leave the comment on my blog [7]. Cheers, Valent.

My googling came up empty so I wonder if this error is a known issue and
if I should bugzilla this. And how I can possible fix this error if it
impedes the correct working of yum.
Suggestions most welcome.
Thanks and regards,

I have used a heavily modified rc.sysinit for the last several versions of Fedora calling a custom script to mount 5 LUKS partitions. mkinitrd in F9 now breaks everything. My solution ( work around ) has been to turn swap off and un-mapp the swap partition just before I do a kernel install. This way mkinitrd does not see it. Upon reboot it gets mounted through my scripts and fstab ( in your case crypttab ) There is also an option during install to use a global LUKS passphrase. Would that have been a solution for you ( Mike C. ) for your test box? Anyone know how and where Fedora stores that passphrase for use?

VLC with FIREFOX
Hello, sorry for such a lame question. But i am not able to make VLC works with Firefox. When i will open page, where embed media player should open and play stream (wmv) totem is in new window opened instead. I want to have VLC embed in firefox. So far i have downloaded 'mozilla-vlc' package from livna repo - so i have plugin installed, but it still opens totem. I look through mozilla add-ons and disabled Totem Web Browser plugin. But then ,simple nothing is opened neither totem neither VLC. Any solution which will ends to opening media player even totem embedded in web page is enough. Thanks in advance!

Anne Wilson wrote: I want F9 on a USB stick. It's 8GB, and comes with a few files concerned with using it on windows, so I don't really care whether they survive or not. Most of my hardware is not so young, and doesn't boot off usb sticks. However, the EeePC should do - it does from a Mandriva flash drive.

Dbus error with yum
I did a clean install of Fedora 9 i386 on my Thinkpad t60p. After the

Has anyone seen this or know what is causing it? Everything seems to be

WiFi: Conceptronic C54Ri (RaLink RT2500) and WPA no go
Hi, Think I read about a zillion pages to find a WiFi PCI nic that's supported by Linux (Fedora 9). I found the Conceptronic C54Ri which has a RaLink RT2500 chip, is supposed to work and was available at a shop near me. Unfortunately I can't get the card to do anything with NetworkManager (NM) when the rt2500pci module is loaded. It won't even setup a link to an AP without any security. With the latest ndiswrapper 1.5.3 and version 2 firmware from conceptronic.net at least NM can setup a link to an AP that has no security whatsoever and NM can also setup a link using WEP. Both are useless for obvious security reasons. Both WPA and WPA2 didn't work (wpa_supplicant mentioned some timeout authenticating to the AP). I require a WPA2/CCMP (AES) link to the AP. Does anyone have any experience with this card or any RaLink RT2500 based card howto make NetworkManager (or system-config network) successfully set up a WPA2/CCMP (AES) link to an AP? Thanks and regards, Patrick ps if anyone knows a WiFi PCI card or USB stick that has the always-working-out-of-the-box-Intel WiFi chipset please let me know -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Given you will "do it right" and don't need to preserve the current partitions I would boot from a Fedora live CD or rescue system and use fdisk to partition the disk by fdisk /dev/sda prim partion 1: 24 gb hpfs prim partion 2: 50 gb ext3 (for boot, you may safely ignore the warning) prim partion 3: 500 mb swap prim partion 4: rest of the disk for LVM In LVM: 8 - 10 gb lvSYS for the root file system 10 gb lvHOME for /home you may have about 2 gb unallocated which you can use later by lvm manager according to your needs. For root: 8 gb is enough for normal use (office desktop) and if you don't install "all" software packages. 10 gb is pretty much comfortable in this case, but you may need it for /home. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

One card will, at most, have 2 DVI connectors (each either single-link or dual-link). Dual-link just means that it has two sets of data-wires for doubling the bandwidth. 4-Megapixel monitors need to double up the data links in order to move all that data in the 1/60th of a second a reasonable refresh takes. > Any recommendations on video cards? I don't like noisy miniature fans on my cards, so I opted for a slower pcie card with a "mobile" Radeon HD 3450 chipset on it. I got the MSI R3450-TD256H version of it, although quite a few manufacturers make cards based on this ATI chip. These cards run around $50 mail order. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=R3450-TD256H&class=vga The Radeon 3450's have gotten quite a bit of press lately. It looked legit enough so I decided to give it a try. I should have my MSI card on Monday so I'll be able to report back how F9's Xorg gets along with it. If it works, I'll pick up the 30" Samsung 305T to go along with it. At 30" and twice the pixel count I now have, I don't think I'll lose too much sleep over not having a dual, dual-link setup. Normally I'm all for overkill, but getting two of those monitors would be over-overkill. ;-) One thing to watch out for is some manufacturers run the Radeon 3450 graphics chip harder than they should. Companies like Saphire have plenty of Google hits claiming that their Radeon 3450 card runs very hot and eventually crashes the system. MSI had only folks saying their Radeon 3450 card ran cool to the touch. That is really what swayed me away from the dual-dvi Saphire card, even though having two dvi's would have been nice. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.

Java browser plugin Broken on one login only
I have sun java jre 6.03 installed on my computer. The libjavaplugin fails to work on one login only, it works for others. I cannot figure out what is different about the one login. In firefox, both java and javascript are enabled. Attempting to go here: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp Allows the applet to load and display info for all logins but one. It must be some permission issue or something in a .* file in the user login. Any ideas? I'm stumped.

Re: Need help with partitioning
Hi thank you for your answer, I didn't understand many things. 1. When you speak about fedora live cd do you mean the cd that i used for installing fedora? in That case there are some options when i boot from it, which one should i use? 2. when using fdisk should i use n for creating the partitions you sugested or i must unpartition everything. In that case how? May be these are obvious questions for people who already use these tchniques but for me it is really the first time. Maybe i should read some tutorial dealing with that. Do you know about one explaining just the basic things that i need or you can have the time to answer this kind of questions?

Broken F8 driver for e-Sata chip
Can someone (Alan?) give me some help on this. What is the current status of this driver? The Story: I just purchased a PCI card for an older computer so I cd. hook up a couple of external SATA's to it. The card uses the INI-1623 chip: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lspci | fgrep Ini 02:0b.0 SATA controller: Initio Corporation INI-1623 \ PCI SATA-II Controller (rev 02) When I boot the machine, the BIOS sees the 1TB drive on that card. It's also seen by the OS. However, what looks like a driver error occurs. This is from /var/log/dmesg: sata_inic162x :02:0b.0: version 0.3 ACPI: PCI Interrupt :02:0b.0[A] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23 scsi5 : sata_inic162x scsi6 : sata_inic162x ata5: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio [EMAIL PROTECTED] port 0xfeafe000 cmd 0xd400 ctl 0xd002 irq 23 ata6: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio [EMAIL PROTECTED] port 0xfeafe040 cmd 0xde00 ctl 0xdd02 irq 23 ata5: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata5.00: HPA detected: current 1953525168, native 18446744072357965232 ata5.00: ATA-8: WDC WD10EACS-00ZJB0, 01.01B01, max UDMA/133 ata5.00: 1953525168 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata5.00: ERROR: This driver doesn't support LBA48 yet and may cause data corruption on such devices. Disabling. ata5.00: disabled ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) The board advertised linux compatibility so (foolish me) I bought it w/o asking on this list. The supplied driver on the Manu. site is for kernel version 2.6.15 --- useless for the F8 system running on the target machine (2.6.25.11-60.fc8). Googling, I find that th LBA48 stuff was a "known problem" about a year ago and people were working on it.

We don't know what disc you used to install from... Here's what you could have: There's a "live disc" which you can boot up from and run the OS from without installing anything to any drive. You can *also* start an installation from it. There are other discs which can only be used to start an installation, with different discs for different architectures (Intel x86 CPU, PPC, 64-bit). There's a rescue disc, which can be used to repair a broken system (it's a bootable disc, with a minimal working environment), and can be used to start installs which will install files from another source (such as from a network server, or another hard drive). You might want to start out by reading the notes available from this page: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/ There's a section about installation. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

If you modify the partitions that Fedora is currently using, you're very likely to kill your installation (though it is possible to do *some* management of partitions on an installation, if you know what you're doing). But I think you're faced with that problem, anyway (killing your installation). Looking at your prior message, you've installed Fedora, now you want to install Windows. Windows has a reputation for stomping over set-ups, and taking everything for itself. The install disc that came with my Laptop will install Vista and not give me any options for how to use the drive, beyond to use all the drive, or half of it (one Windows partition, and one spare empty partition). Anything else already on the hard drive will be wiped out, whatever option I chose. Whereas, on prior versions of Windows, I'd seen options to pick a partition to install Windows to, and not mess with other ones already on the drive. Though you'll still have the fun and games of reinstalling a bootloader to be able to boot Linux after you've installed Windows. The usual advice is to install Windows first. Depending on how your Windows install works, that might be done by partitioning your drive first, or partitioning it as part of the Windows installation. With one big partition for Windows, and the rest of the drive space reserved for your Linux installations. Then, after installing Windows, you'd install Linux onto that reserved space, probably further partitioning it during the Linux installation (carving it up into boot, swap, and the root partition, and any other partitions that you wanted). Have you looked at the reference I gave you in the prior message?

Mobile Broadband connection through NetworkManager
I just purchased a EVDO USB broadband card from Sprint, and I'm trying to set it up using NetworkManager. When I select Edit Connections from the applet, and then select the Mobile Broadband tab, I come to an empty screen, as I would expect. Then I click on the Add button, but nothing happens. I get no dialog, no error message, nothing.

I had to do this with a newer EVDO usb card from verizon. Just do some searching on the internet. A quick search turned up this one: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=189848 Obviously your entries in 10-modem.fdi wont match exactly depending on your card. Alternatively you can just configure pptp / if scripts and connect via the command line using ifup. --John -- John Priddy Solutions Architect Red Hat -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Intel 965GM chipset with compiz
Is anyone out there using this chipset on FC9 with acceptable video performance? My performance issues are especially noticeable when 'scrolling' (for lack of a better word). It is awful running mozilla, but its pretty poor using nautilus as well as others. glxgears framerate is in the single digits. Below is output from glxinfo: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 Strangely enough, things I would expect to really drag such as 'spinning the cube' and others are very smooth. Everything was perfect under FC8 -- I know there were some changes in terms of the Intel driver between FC8 and FC9 though...

fc9 install
From reading the fc docs, it appears that this is the mailing list to send questions about installation of fedora core (in the case, FC9). Before I send email, I want to make sure I have the right mailing list and, if not, would please ask for advice about which mailing list I should be communicating with Thanks, Paul -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

VNC - connection refused (111)
Hello, I have recently re-installed fedora on a client machine (Fedora 9 from FC6) and now from that machine VNC connection does not work any more (it did with FC6 installed). Iptables is not running on either machine. I can get a VNC connection on the server machine from another user, so VNC is working OK, therefore it seems to be a firewall problem. The two machines are both connected to the same router - one via ethernet (static IP address), the other by wireless (this is the only configuration difference I can think of c.f FC6 setup - then both machines had static IP ethernet connections to the router).
