Re: F9: No audio on Compaq V5000
Hello Richard, please add atrpms repository (http://atrpms.net/install.html) from atrpms repository install alsa-driver , as dependency it will install alsa-kmdl module for your current kernel.

Just curious
Can anyone provide a rational explanation why so many linux distros (fedora among them) ship by default with both the prelinker and the kernel address space randomizer enabled? Aren't they just a wee bit mutually contradictory? The prelinker spending hours running cron jobs to try and make firefox load 1 millisecond faster by having the shared libs already relocated to a known base address. And the randomizer trying to keep any shared lib from ever being loaded at the same base address twice in a row. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

No, that only means that you had modified fedora.repo prior to that update (most likely you disabled it).

fc9: bind weirdness
FC9 with latest updates I've configured bind with all the defaults and modified bind.conf to answer questions on all interfaces to all clients. But weird stuff is happening. bind/named starts properly on boot. But it refuses to resolve for any hosts other than localhost. The config file however shows it should resolve for anyone. But if I log-in and restart bind (# service named restart) it will suddenly start resolving for anyone. Thoughts? It's killing me, and I can't see any reason it would work properly after a restart and not at regular boot.

Just a guess? Are you useing the default NetworkManager daemon rathrer than the traditional network one?

Yes, as a matter of fact I was. But that introduces a new wrinkle. For some reason, the interface would keep coming up disabled using the regular network config.

They modify the contents by copying the file to /tmp and then mv'ing it back to /etc. This ends up with the file labeled rpm_script_tmp_t instead of etc_t. So you need to run restorecon.

Given the fact that sudo is a time honored UNIX method of granting super user privileges to normal users, it is well documented in man pages and at tldp.org and personally, I think it's unfair to ask general usage questions for something that is so well documented. Considering that what you are asking is to give away the farm on your system to other users, I would suggest that you become intimately familiar with using sudo so you can be specific about what you are allowing people to do rather than just a wholesale grant of superuser privileges as that is the only way you can control what users can do on your systems.

'make install' only needs super user privileges if the intended install is to go into /usr/local but users can have 'bin' or 'sbin' directories in their own space to run compiled programs that are available only to that specific user and not to all users. Did I mention that you are going to have nightmares if you actually give users super user privileges enough times yet?

You could as well give him/her the root password. If you let the user just run 'make install' as root while not allowing anything else and the user wanted to escape that limitation, he would just write a new Makefile where the install target would actually do whatever he wanted, like reset the root password or delete all the files. However, the user can easily just run the configure script and make as a normal user, and install the program under the home directory. To assist this, the configure script often has this handy option: ./configure --prefix=/home/foo/myprograms Which would configure the program to install into the user's myprograms directory. Writing to a self-owned directory needs no root privileges, so the entire installation can be done without root privs. hope this helps, -- Joonas Sarajärvi [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

It would be a Good Thing (tm) of course. OK, I've been uninstalling hand over fist on three machines. The fourth behind the KVM switch is an erstwhile server whose data has been put in a better place; I wiped it with DBAN and did a fresh install of F8. I'm not entirely sure at this point what I have on which machine; I'm afraid I may have inadvertently removed *all* the extensions on one of them -- emptied out /home/btth/FEBE after a lot of deletions, without thinking to do a fresh backup before telling it to restore. But I *think* two of them are down to about fifty each, and close to the same fifty. I'd like to believe those two now run better, but it's too early to be sure. If that pans out, it should be straightforward to copy the FEBE file from one of them onto the new install or the stripped one, do a restore, and have a working collection. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: kde-4.1 menus not editable
I did a fresh install and updated to kde-4.1.1 a few days ago. The problem is not that I do not know how to edit the menus (right-click on f and the edit menus). The problem is that my changes would not save after clicking the save button. For example, my firefox link is found in Lost & Found sub-menu. When I add it to the internet sub-menu it would not stay there. It seems to be permanently fixed in the Lost & Found sub-menu. Thanks for your suggestions.

I had similar problem but wanted to control DPI setting. What you want to do is get your fonts configured the way you want them as an ordinary user, then arrange to copy the directory tree including the file: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/font_rendering/%gconf.xml over to the gdm user's home directory: /var/lib/gdm/ Make sure you keep all the permissions the same and change the owner from you to gdm where appropriate. There are a bunch of those %gconf.xml files in each directory on the way down, you may need to copy over all of them (not sure exactly how the heck this all works). This has the effect of applying the gnome font settings to the gdm user.

of the K** and S** files are where they are suppose to be but telinit
doesn't run them all for some reason. I have chosen to use run level 4

After your "telinit 4", have you tried "/etc/rc.d/rc 4"?
AFAIK, telinit does NOT fire up the /etc/rc.d stuff by itself and that's
how the K* and S* stuff get run.
As has been pointed out what you say is not true. Changes runlevel
should cause the correct rc* files to run. Check the man page of
telinit.
While the man page SAYS it "works closely together with the scripts in
the directories /etc/init.d and /etc/rc{run-level}.d," in my experience
it really doesn't.
Under the classic scheme (F8 and older), /etc/init.d is a symlink to
/etc/rc.d/init.d, which are the TARGETS of symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc*.d.
/etc/rc.d/init.d contains no K* or S* files at all, so I see no way for
init to selectively run K* or S* files. /etc/rc.d/rc is a script that
DOES pick up run level changes and invokes the K* and S* scripts
selectively.
With the new F9 mechanism perhaps it does work. I'm not running F9
yet except in a domU under Xen because, frankly, I don't trust it yet.
There must bew something else that is wrong.
Perhaps, but I don't see how it can work "as advertised" with the file
layout as it is. It wouldn't be the first time a man page was
incorrect.
Are you running it from a virtual terminal as root?
Yes, of course.

Inconsistent results on two F9 boxes when running a trivial c++ program
Can anyone help. Through debugging a program I have created this trivial
C++ program.
#include
//int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int main() {
return 0;
}
I have two F9 boxes, both mounting an NFS partition. When testing the
program using valgrind, on one box there is no problem. On the other
box, it reports an error (full output at the end of this email). This
happens regardless of which box the program is compiled on.
If the include line is removed, the error does not happen.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to what the problem could be?
Thanks
Steve

Re: still no progress with opengl video problems?
Hello David, Although, this does not answer your questions, it might provide you with an alternative. I experienced all sort of problems watching videos on my laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 (using the open source radeon driver) when I enabled desktop effects. On my up-to-date Fedora 9 system with I was able to solve these problems thanks to a tip from the #radeon channel on Freenode. What I did was enable EXA acceleration in my xorg.conf like so: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" EndSection After a restart of X, I executed gstreamer-properties and on the video tab I selected "X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)" as the default output plugin and then selected "Radeon Textured Video" as the default output device. That solved all the problems I encountered when watching videos with desktop effects enabled. I hope this might be of some help to you as well.

Rick,
Since you won't listen to anyone else regarding /etc/rc.d/rc, please
take a couple minutes to prove to yourself that changing the runlevel
(telinit N or init N) actually does run that script:
(1) Add this line to /etc/rc.d/rc as the first line before the comments:
echo "$(date): $0 $*" >>/tmp/rc.log
(2) Switch runlevels with telinit or init.
(3) Check the file /tmp/rc.log
You'll see that /etc/rc.d/rc is in fact being run during the runlevel

As has been pointed out what you say is not true. Changes runlevel
should cause the correct rc* files to run. Check the man page of
telinit.
While the man page SAYS it "works closely together with the scripts in
the directories /etc/init.d and /etc/rc{run-level}.d," in my experience
it really doesn't.
Under the classic scheme (F8 and older), /etc/init.d is a symlink to
/etc/rc.d/init.d, which are the TARGETS of symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc*.d.
/etc/rc.d/init.d contains no K* or S* files at all, so I see no way for
init to selectively run K* or S* files. /etc/rc.d/rc is a script that
DOES pick up run level changes and invokes the K* and S* scripts
selectively.
With the new F9 mechanism perhaps it does work. I'm not running F9
yet except in a domU under Xen because, frankly, I don't trust it yet.
There must bew something else that is wrong.
Perhaps, but I don't see how it can work "as advertised" with the file
layout as it is. It wouldn't be the first time a man page was
incorrect.
Rick,
Since you won't listen to anyone else regarding /etc/rc.d/rc, please
take a couple minutes to prove to yourself that changing the runlevel
(telinit N or init N) actually does run that script:
(1) Add this line to /etc/rc.d/rc as the first line before the comments:
echo "$(date): $0 $*" >>/tmp/rc.log
(2) Switch runlevels with telinit or init.
(3) Check the file /tmp/rc.log
You'll see that /etc/rc.d/rc is in fact being run during the runlevel

I believe you and yes, it does work. Doesn't explain why daemons that

RE: Inconsistent results on two F9 boxes when running a trivial c++ program
Do the boxes have identical g++ installations? Seems like you've encountered
a small bug in the library, which sometimes seem to creep in between minor
revisions.

My /etc/passwd file has a lot more than that... and many I didn't even know about (various system things ntpd blah blah blah) Am I supposed to take the users that *I* added to the system (via system-config-users) and cut/paste those ones into the new one, changing the x to an *?

(The man file looks great for people familiar with it... not so great for explaining what the commands really do.) Shouldn't the update script have done this when it updated setup? The pwconv command creates shadow from passwd and an optionally existing shadow. The pwunconv command creates passwd from passwd and shadow and then removes shadow. So where does passwd.rpmnew come into play? pwconv ... and removes shadow... um, don't I need shadow? ditto for pwunconv I don't get it, now I don't know what I have. :-( -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Since your system already had an existing /etc/passwd file that spec instructions were written such that the old file was not overwritten.
