Sharing /var between systems
by Timothy Murphy
I have Fedora-7 and Fedora-8 on the same computer.
Can I share /var between them?
(I have the Fedora-7 /var on a separate partition.
If possible, I'd like to use this with the new system.)
Any suggestions gratefully received.

usb hub working with linux fedora
by Jan Brosius
Hello,
I have tried a cheap usb hub but it doesn't work with fedora 8.
I have googled a lot to find more about usb hubs brands working with
linux but didn't find anything.
Is there a brand of usb hub that works with fedora 8?
Thanks for any information

I went through the same ordeal initially but accessing my gmail account via imap fix this problem. For better or worse this is the gmail model: who needs folders if searching is fast and efficient...

Sound works but panel volume control doesn't
by Chris G
New Fedora 8 installation.
My sound works, i.e. if I go to System-Administration-Sound Card
Detection and click on Sound test I get music out of the speakers.
The sound card is an Intel 82801H using module snd-hda-intel.
However the volume control just says "No volume control GStreamer
plugins and/or devies found".
I have gstreamer installed.

Treo USB no longer creating ttyUSB[01] devices???
by Mark C. Allman
OK, something else that's broken in F8.
At some point in the past when we'd plug in a Treo 700p USB cable to
hotsync (which occasionally actually worked), devices /dev/ttyUSB0
and /dev/ttyUSB1 were created to access the phone. Now when I plug it
in I only see lines like:
Feb 23 15:35:26 prez kernel: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device
using uhci_hcd and address 3
Feb 23 15:35:26 prez kernel: usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from
1 choice
When I plug in my Verizon broadband wireless USB modem I see ttyUSB0 and
ttyUSB1 created, but no longer for the Treo.
Any ideas/hints on why the tty devices are no longer created?

Re: primary superblock features???

A while back I mentioned this nonsense (but never got
a response):
>On two different fedora 8 systems (which happen to have other boot partitions

I just now rebooted one of the systems that got this error
on a previous reboot, and this time the kernel crashed
with something about "kernel math error" near the top of the
screen, various routines with "superblock" in their name
in the middle of the backtrace, and "unmount" near the bottom
of the screen.
Just for curiosity, I rebooted again (after having fsck fix an
orphan inode apparently leftover from the crash), and it didn't
happen the 2nd time.
I really am curious what the heck is going on with these superblocks
(they don't seem all that super to me :-).
