Touchpad on new MacBook Pro
Hi all, I have a new MacBook Pro on which I have sucessfully installed Fedora 11. For the most part it works really great but I have a problem with the touch pad. On the new Macs the touch pad has an integrated button so, in Fedora, the only way I can work it is to use clicking and dragging with the touch pad rather than with the integrated button (otherwise, a click on the button would first move the pointer and then click). This is all fine, except I can't get the Mouse Preferences "Disable touch pad while typing" to work with the result that I constantly happen to touch the touchpad while typing, hence displacing the cursor. The touch pad is quite big so it easily happens. I would be greatful for any hints or suggestions. /henrik -- 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
Samba 3 and changepasswd

how to get 32-bit libz.so.1 support on 64-bit fedora?
i just installed a sizable number of pre-built 32-bit executables on my 64-bit f11 system, a very small number of which are looking for the (32-bit) shared lib libz.so.1 and which will therefore fail to run. since my system is 64-bit, i have no libz shared lib under either /lib or /usr/lib, but i will of course have the 64-bit version installed under /lib64. what's the proper solution to get around this? yum installing the 32-bit compatibility libs? then libz? thanks. rday -- Robert P.

Normal suspend and hibernate works properly on my laptop using the rpmfusion.org NVidia drivers on Fedora 11. I didn't have to patch or change anything.

Once upon a time, Tom Horsley said: > True.

Fedora has been shipping paravirt-capable kernels for a while now, and I don't think there are extra patches to support that. The non-upstreamed, patches still needed piece is the Xen hypervisor itself. That's the part that Fedora has _not_ shipped for a while, due to the workload of trying to maintain patches against current kernels. The nice thing about Xen (vs. KVM) is that when a paravirt OS is available (e.g. almost any Open Source OS), you don't need any special hardware to get a near-full-speed virtual host. With KVM, you must have a CPU with virtualization extensions supported and enabled. AMD leaves hardware-virt out of a few of the low-end CPUs, and Intel a few more. -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- 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

Discussion -- perhaps a trollette -- re: upgrades !
Hi; Is there no way around having to restart after some upgrade downloads like a new kernel or the recent gfs upgrades? I have no solutions to offer other than some amateur passing thoughts. Nor do I find restarting a particularly onerous burden in Fedora. However, by way of comparison, I dual boot into WindowsXP about once every two weeks. I swear, honest to God, I spend about 45 minutes getting all the automatic M$ updates plus the latest anti-virus updates before I can begin to do something. The normal M$ process of upgrading/updating usually requires 1-4 restarts. It is all very annoying. Even though I don't have to worry about such things anymore, I am sure employers who use Windows must be tearing their hair out watching each employee sitting around for 45 minutes while their machines are updated. So, what does this have to do with Fedora and Linux in general. It would probably be a great bonus if Linux could figure out a way to upgrade without the annoying and obvious routine of having to reboot. Rebooting reminds users too much of M$ type of annoyances. I would like to describe the kind of thing I have in mind, but in no way am I putting the following idea forward as a solution. It is for explanation purposes only. Can upgrades that will interfere with the running kernel not be stored in swap, for example, and then slowly replace each process that is not running; that is, on hard disk or sleeping in memory until the upgrade is completed? If needed, perhaps a brief view of the start flash screen and loading timer bar without an overt shutdown and restart? What are the arguments against this kind of thing? -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1 -- 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

The latest kernels all have the "paravirt ops" support (if I'm remembering my jargon correctly). The original Xen patches were based on 2.6.18 and worked pretty well in 2.6.18 itself. The kernels between 2.6.18 and today are where the situation is iffy with various levels of stability in the xen patches wedged into kernels after 2.6.18. -- 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

Certainly if I was gonna lose any partitioning options, I'd keep custom and lose everything else (but that's just me). If you have another computer laying around, you might be able to use the GUI installer via VNC. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options for all the magical options you can use on the installer to do things like VNC. Maybe you could even get GUI installer to work on native hardware with something like xdriver=vesa. -- 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

Anaconda problem with sata drives
Hi; I have an MSI K9A2 rev 1 motherboard latest BIOS, with Athlon 64x2. This has 4 sata connectors for "normal drives" and two for raid. I have run win Xpx64, Fedora 9/10 and now 11 on this box just fine. Right now it is running F11 on a sata drive with Xp64 under VirtualBox. OK so Newegg had a sale on Samsung sata drives so I bought 2. I planned to use the raid connectors and run F11 on them. I installed the drives and created a raid 1 in the BIOS. Then I installed F11 with updates onto it. It would not boot. I selected it in the BIOS as first boot, but grub wanted a BIOS disk ID. When the system boots the raid is not shown in the sata/ide first screen. I fought it for a long time and even re-installed. Finally I gave up. I went into the BIOS and cleared the raid so it was JBOD. Then I put the drives onto the "normal" sata connectors and disabled the raid sata. I was able to fdisk and format both drives just fine. One as data and one for F11 /boot ext3 swap / as ext4. When I try to insstall F11 it cannot see the drive,at the partioning screen. I get an OK box: "An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem" I then installed Mint linux, and F10 to the drive just fine F11 refuses to install. I tried "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" with no change. While the installer is hanging I can Ctl-Alt-F2 and "fdisk -l" It sees the drive just fine, Ctl-Alt-F^ to the installer and it dies. I have re-installed my working sata drive to post this. Right now I am downloading Fedoro-12 Alpha x64 to see if that will work. Any ideas?

Serving an XML file as a webpage, in the same way that a HTML file would have traditionally been used? Then, yes. Just author your file correctly, and serve it. You may have to use specific filename suffixes to serve out your files with the right MIME types (e.g. ".xml", or ".xhtml" if you really mean XHTML rather than XML). Or you can reconfigure the server to follow your preferred method of naming files. If actually serving XML, you also need to correctly make use of CSS files for rendering. Serving XML isn't something I've looked at for ages (since the world's most common browser is crap at XHTML and XML, there's little point in using it for the general public), so I don't recall the techniques off hand. But it's different from HTML and XHTML with CSS, and far less tolerant of bad authoring. If you mean using an XML file as a source for creating HTML webpages, that's a different technique, and do-able, too. I have even less recollection about doing that. But my observations of using one language to create another noticed that it makes bastard HTML, because two different languages do different things, careful translation is needed, and some features just don't transfer. e.g. After FrontPage garbage, DocBook has produced some of the crappest machine-generated HTML I've ever seen. > how can I check?

Thank you for your information. None of Fedora 11 packages are installed when I tried to upgrade yesterday. The Fedora 10 installation is intact except the grub installation.

Since CentOS is based on RHEL, the newest RHEL is RHEL 5, RHEL 5 is based on FC6, and this option wasn't enabled in Fedora until F11 (hey, I can chain logic :-) ), I'm not suprised it isn't enabled in CentOS. I believe CentOS tries to stay as close to RHEL as possible, so I wouldn't expect them to change this unless Red Hat does. I am kind of suprised that Red Hat doesn't have this enabled though; there is a bug request to have this changed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469753 Another bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497013 it is stated that this will not change for RHEL 5. Maybe this will change for RHEL 6 (since it is now enabled in F11). -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- 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
