Laptop Sony Vaio R505TS - test2 - ACPI
by fedora-test-list 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

All: I've done a fresh install of Fedora test2 on my Sony Vaio R505TS (ACPI based). ACPI doesn't seem to work, the Gnome battery applet gives me no love, and there aren't the directories in /proc/acpi that there are when I run a ACPI custom patched kernel. I've got the following boot params set: nogui acpi=on pci=biosirq # ps -ef | grep acpi root 3137 1 0 21:47 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/acpid root 3822 3772 0 22:09 pts/0 00:00:00 grep acpi # ls -la /proc/acpi/ total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 0 Oct 1 21:47 . dr-xr-xr-x 98 root root 0 Oct 1 17:46 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 alarm dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 asus dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 button -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 dsdt dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 embedded_controller -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 21:47 event -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 fadt -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 info dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 power_resource -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 1 22:10 sleep Any direction or things to try would be most appreciated, thanks.

RAM requirements for NFS installation
by Pavel Rosenboim 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi, I installed the FC test2 over NFS (and VNC) on a machine with 128 MB RAM. After partitioning stage I got a message saying that I don't have enough RAM and swap must be activated immediately. Previously, I installed taroon on the same machine and I didn't see such message. Is this a bug or NFS/VNC combination requires more RAM? Pavel.

wine security-patched kernel ?
by traxtopel 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Trying to run an application using wine on fedora core 0.94 results in .. err:virtual:map_image Standard load address for a Win32 program (0x00400000) not available - security-patched kernel ? /usr/bin/wine-freelance: could not load 'C:\lotus\flg\f32main.exe' as Win32 binary "security-patched kernel ?" What has changed in the redhat kernel which has caused this problem? -- traxtopel <traxtopel(a)fastmail.fm>

Stopping VMware from complaining about DGA
by Felipe Alfaro Solana 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi! I'm trying to consolidate two real machines into a single, big-iron box by using VMware. The idea is that both virtual machines are brought up automatically when the system starts up, automatically, with no user intervention. I feel VMware has a real, serious limitation, and it's the fact that it requires an X session to run. I want to virtualize two servers running text-only mode Linux, but since VMware requires X, I've set up Xvnc and configured it to automatically start up a twm-based Xvnc session under a non-privileged user. The problem is that the virtual machines don't start up completely since the !@#!$%^ VMware keeps complaining that the virtual machine can't run in full screen mode since it doesn't support DGA. Dismissing the non-sense warning brings another one complaning that it could not obtain modelines information from the X server. Does anyone have a clue on how to convince VMware that I'm not virtualizing Windows, that I don't need fullscreen capabilities, that I don't need, don't have and don't want DGA, and that no, I don't need a mouse instead of having to trick VMware and point the mouse to /dev/null? Does anyone have a clue on how can I *disable* those stupid warnings? How come! How can anyone try to virtualize a server farm if the VM software is complaining about trivial things? ;) Uhmm! Maybe I'll need to turn to User-Mode-Linux. Thanks! PS: What about VMware GSX? Is it a "little bit smarter" than VMware? Is there any other virtualization software that doesn't assume you will want to run a GUI-based, mouse-based, full-screen-based, crash-prone operating system?

Using Fedora Core Alcatel Speedtouch USB Modem Sometimes (not always) if I boot up I get the error-message (i don't remember correctly) insmod error cannot load module speetch.o speedtch already loaded for me it's not a real problem, but I think If a modul is already loaded init have not to load it a second time. -- 1024D/2CF44148 2003-06-29 Georg E Schneider <georg(a)georgs.org> Key fingerprint = 4F44 9A46 2238 6CFA D271 D09C 235F EFB0 2CF4 4148

Careful! Mirror (ftp.tuwien.ac.at) not up to date
by Ossama Khayaat 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hello all, Just be careful that this mirror ftp://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/redhat.com/dist/linux/beta/severn/en/iso… isn't upto date yet! After I downloaded the MD5SUM from there, I thought all of my downloads were corrupted, but noticed that the date is still 14/7/2003 and not 24/9/2003. So, just be careful :) Ossama Khayat --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

oOO-1.1 and prelink
by James Drabb 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Wow, prelinking OOo-1.1 gives very impressive startup times. For the first startup I get 4 seconds, with 2 seconds after that. One other not about prelink, it seems to hose gstreamer or at least programs that use it. After prelinking /usr/bin which has jamboree and sound-juicer in it, those two apps would segfault when I tried to run them. Undoing the prelink on jamboree and sound-juicer fixed them both and now they run. Is there any way to tell the prelink cron job to ignore certain files? I am using Fedora Core 0.94.
