Hard Drive Install help :-(
by Mark Guzzo 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hello all, I'm trying (for the first time) to install Severn2 from the hard drive. Now I've read the install docs for both Red Hat 8 and Red Hat 9 and they both say something different. RH8: for example, if the ISO images are in /test/new/RedHat, you would enter /test/new RH9: for example, if the ISO images are in /test/new, you would enter /test/new I've tried it both ways and I still get the error that no RedHat images can be found on /dev/hda5. Can someone please give a little more info as to how to do this. TIA Mark

configuring up2date for apt repository
by Justin Georgeson 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

I would like to start picking up add-on packages, for example from freshrpms.net or livna.org. I'd prefer to stick to the apt access. However, I don't see apt packages on fedora.us, freshrpms.net, or livna.org for .94. Can I use the package of .93? Does freshrpms.net have repos for either beta? I couldn't find them if so. Does anyone know what to put in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to get up2date to pick up the add-ons from either repository?

more comments on Fedora Core
by Elton Woo 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Gripe 1: why oh, *why* does sendmail take so looooooog to boot? Except for this stick in the mud, everything else boots fast ... on an AMD ... Gripe 2: smartd ... *really*??? I thought it caused the *two* kernel oopses because I left a diskette in the ls-120 (/dev/hdc) drive. It also complains of read errors on the *empty* drive, as well as the other _empty_ DVD (/dev/hdd) and CDRW (/dev/hdc) drives. The "three-finger salute" doesn't help, only hitting the reset button does... :-( Elton. P.S. Am I the only one who's thinking that maybe Severn and (now) Fedora Core doesn't like Athlons?? -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/team/team_4504.html "You only live once: let's make life BETTER for each other."

I did notice some strange behavoir a few minutes age, while playing Shisen-sho: the screen would suddenly go out of sync, and I had to hit a key (moving the mouse didn't work) to restore my screen... Did my glibc libraries get corrupted? Recently during Severn beta1, and now with Fedora Core, I would "lose" the mouse pointer, or it would freeze. Unplugging and replugging the (USB) mouse into the hub would fix this frequent occurrence....

Extra packages for Fedora Core release 0.94
by James Drabb 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Ok, I am missing Red Hat 9 already : ( I miss all the extra packages I could install from fedora and sometimes from freshrpms and DAG. Recompiling all the srpms is taking ages. What is everyone else doing? I also miss synaptic since it let me browse and get a nice description for all the packages out there. yum info is a little too much to go through. Right now I installed apt from fedora for 9.0.93 and use that, though I am getting confilcts for certain apps. Will fedora ever have multimedia type applications like mplayer and xine? So is everyone else just compiling all the apps they need for Fedora Core release 0.94? Or are there some good repos out there already that I am not aware of? Right now I have this in my /etc/apt/sources.list file: rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/fedora redhat/0.94/i386 os updates stable testing unstable rpm-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/fedora redhat/0.94/i386 os updates stable testing unstable rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/rawhide/i386 os rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386 freshrpms rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org apt/redhat/0.94 macromedia rpm http://gstreamer.net/releases redhat/redhat-9-i386 deps redhat In my /etc/yum.conf file I have: [base] http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearc… [updates] http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/$releasever/ [fedora-stable] http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable/ [fedora-testing] http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/yum/testing/ [fedora-unstable] http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/yum/unstable/ Are there any other repos out yet, or do I just need to wait until all the 9.0.93 are recompiled for 0.94?

Re: problems with samba 3
by Rainer Hattenhauer 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

>Did you try the SignOrSeal registry fix on the XP box? I'm not sure >if it's still required with Samba 3.0, but trying it can't hurt. . . I can't imagine that this is the point: the connection to XP with samba worked well with RH9 / old samba 2.x, so I think something has changed on the samba / linux side, pointing towards a configuration problem of the new samba 3. Perhaps the problem will be solved when the peole will try to fix redhat-config-samba, which is not working properly in my case. By now, I did the following workaround to communicate with XP: I use smbmount //192.168.0.1/<folder> /mnt/winxp under linux, where 192.168.0.1 is the IP of my XP-box, <folder> is a public folder on the XP-box and /mnt/winxp is the mount point on the red hat box. Works in both directions, but it's not satisfying at all. Greetings Rainer
