Can I use up2date to update my Severn 9.0.93 to 9.0.94?
by 肇鑫 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hello, everyone here. I use Severn 9.0.93 now. Then I notice the 9.0.94 is available. Can I wait and use up2date to make my Severn Beta to Beta 2? Best Regards. hutigers Sep. 26th, 2003 _________________________________________________________________ 免费下载 MSN Explorer: http://explorer.msn.com/lccn/

Just did a install (and finally fixed my partitioning so / isn't full all the time due to /var being on the same tiny partition), here's what I noticed: + Installer seems faster than it has been in the past, especially in the package installation stage. Could be that this time the source .iso images were on a separate drive, improvements in rpm/anaconda/kernel or just my imagination. Oh well :-) + Choosing the packages I wanted was faster and easier than before. I think I managed to get just about all obscure packages I always want to installed apart from zsh (which I could have missed or maybe there was no selection for it). In any case, looks like a pretty good compromise between usability and powerfulness. - Can't we finally get rid of Sendmail as the default MTA, I'd fell so much better if postfix was the default listens-on-loopback-only MTA that is unfortunately still needed (or is it these days?) - Nice cursors in anaconda, although there was a pretty ugly standard-X11-black&white one for a while. Also during package install it was an arrow instead of some "I'm doing stuff" cursor, which is probably wrong. Will bugzilla in the morning :-) - Ethernet config stuff in the anaconda doesn't allow the IP-less config used by PPPoE that redhat-config-network does. You need to either give it an IP or tell it to use DHCP. Not sure what the best way to fix this is, maybe network configuration could be done in firstboot+redhat-config-network, not anaconda? Again, I'll bugzilla in the morning. And now it's time for some sleep, too unconscious to do any understandable bug reports at this point ;-) -- Pekka Pietikainen

Re: can't install on asus a7n8x

a7n8x works like a champ with fedora (and rh9) here. it is a little picky with memory dimms so. had to replace 2 sticks of 512mb infineon ddr400 with samsung and its 100% stable now. an extensive forum for the nforce and linux is located here http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=29 best lars

Re: ext3fs crash
by Rainer Hattenhauer 28 Sep '03

Hello Gordon, >Boot into single user mode, make sure that the filesystem is mounted >read-only (mount / -o remount,ro), and then force an fsck using Fedora's >fsck (fsck.ext3 -f /dev/<device>). >Afterward, you can use 'tune2fs -l' to see whether or not the device >still has its journal. Everything done, worked so far. I booted up using linux rescue from fedora core CD 1, mounted my device /dev/hdf8 ro, did a chroot and went through fsck.ext3 -f /dev/hdf8 and tune2fs -l /dev/hdf8. The filesystem is o.k., and the journal is still avilable. But after reboot, the bootmessage (using ext2fs instead of ext3fs) still remains. Could it be possible that the problem is due to fetching the old ram image via initrd ? I'm using grub from a SuSE installation, and there I need to define a location for a initrd / image.gz. (Sorry for my stupid descriptions, I'm not so familiar with that kind of boot algorithms using initrd) How can I create a new ramdisk-image for a fresh boot up, perhaps thats the problem (?) BTW: the process I want to get rid of before the crash was prelink, which is automatically started by cron.daily. Takes to much time and is very CPU-consuming (as an idle process), I noticed it yesterday on my laptop where I did a fedora test2 install too, by now, there are no problems with the laptop. And sorry again for my naive descriptions Rainer

How can i pipe kernel messages during boot to /dev/null ? Its the idea to get a 100 % graphical boot. -- Bjorn Andersen <ba(a)linuxin.dk>

openoffice 1.1
by shrek-m＠gmx.de 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

hi, i know that this question is really old :-( why ooo 1.0.2 instaed 1.0.3 ? actually is 1.1rc5 and 1.1final is coming soon http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=842208&listName=users&JSer… <snip> 1.1 final will be released when it is ready. Sorry, that may sound like a curt answer, but we are not a commercial organization driven by a date decided by marketing. However even though the date set around the begining of the year was for a 1.1 release in August, I think that the final release should happen in the next week or two. -- CPH : openoffice.org volunteer </snip> -- shrek-m

all livna repos are functioning correctly.

Is there another repository out there that has those deps? Thanks, Prince

Evolution crashes
by John Thacker 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

I discovered that at least some of my crashing upon exit was due to this bug in evolution: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47173 Evolution essentially doesn't work with the im-ja Japanese Input Method for gtk2. A shame since it's a nice input method, but it's not currently packaged with Fedora Core, so it's not an official problem here yet. Of course, considering that evolution's already borked in a couple of ways with Japanese input due to gtkhtml, this isn't surprising. (Cf http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44619) John Thacker

Perl kinda messed up!
by Botoaca Andrei 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

There are two versions joined i guess and it is not working properly. I had installed basics for Perl (and include I got a folder 5.8.1 with all the includes for it ...). But then i installed SSLeay and i got a new folder 5.8.0, and it is NOT working without special perl options, aka Webmin not working with SSL because of that ... Thanks Andrei Botoaca
