em28xx kernel module load fault
by John Pearson 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

For the first time since installing FC5T3, I loaded TvTime, which reported no /dev/video and no signal. lsmod shows the the em28xx kernel module is not loaded. I did: [root@Gretchen jpearson]# /sbin/modprobe em28xx FATAL: Error inserting em28xx (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1977_FC5/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) with dmesg showing: [root@Gretchen jpearson]# dmesg ... ppdev3: claim the port first loop: loaded (max 8 devices) em28xx: Unknown parameter `index' [root@Gretchen jpearson]# uname -a Linux Gretchen.crooks1722.hab 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 #1 Thu Feb 23 14:53:53 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [root@Gretchen jpearson]# /sbin/lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 741/741GX/M741 Host (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 25) 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS961/2 SMBus Controller 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] 00:02.6 Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Modem Controller (rev a0) 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) 00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 90) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) [root@Gretchen jpearson]# /sbin/lsusb Unknown line at line 5924 Unknown line at line 5925 Unknown line at line 5926 Unknown line at line 5927 Unknown line at line 5928 Unknown line at line 5929 Unknown line at line 5930 Unknown line at line 5931 Unknown line at line 5932 Unknown line at line 5933 Unknown line at line 5934 Unknown line at line 5935 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 050d:0375 Belkin Components Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 004: ID 2040:4200 Hauppauge Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04a9:2208 Canon, Inc.

Inclusion of the adutux module?
by Steven Haigh 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hi, What are the requirements to try and get a module added to the Fedora kernel? I use a USB device to control relays and detect digital IO on various equipment and it would be great to see support for these in the kernel - so I don't have to hack away for hours to get it working. The driver is based on the lego driver - so I don't see any reasons why it wouldn't be allowed... Thoughts? -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9017 0597 - 0412 935 897 Sendmail is like emacs: A nice operating system, but missing an editor and a MTA.

At the request of the OpenIB maintainers, yes. They're intending to import it into Extras in the very near future. Bill

Burning ISOs
by Leon Stringer 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hi, I'm trying to install FC5t3 on another computer, but I can't burn the ISOs. I've tried burning from GNOME and using cdrecord, e.g. cdrecord dev=/dev/hda -eject -v -dao FC-5-Test3-i386-disc1.iso (I ran this as root as it complained about setpriority when I didn't). But on the resulting CDs some files can be copied but other's result in I/O errors. Last time I posted about verifying CDs I was told that this process was unreliable. So we have unreliable CD burning and no reliable way to verify them. And I have a half-installed computer. Does anyone have any tips for successful burning of ISOs? (I'm burning from an up-to-date FC5 test installation). Will CD burning ever "Just Work"? Yours depressed and surrounded by corrupt CDs, Leon...

Shutting down with an automounted CD - giving errors
by David Timms 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Last few days I have left a CD-RW in my CD drive. When I shutdown, I notice an extended delay before shutdown (15 secs maybe). I checked the shutdown log and found errors where umount of the CD is failing. The disc in question is the Fedora core 5 t 1 disc 1 (i think). The automount icon on the desktop shows: FC_5-Test1 i386 The umount error is putting ~ /x040 where the space is in the volume name. It then repeats this every few seconds until it finally does a shutdown disks and power off, which works. Does this occur for anyone else ? I so, what component do startup/shutdown scripts belong to ? DaveT.

adding port using system-config-securitylevel
by George Hill 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

When I run system-config-securitylevel, Firewall Options tab, open the Other ports section of the window, and click add, the Add Port window pops up. The label for the top text box is Port(s) but I am unable to enter more than one port. I have tried separating port numbers with commas and spaces. Is there a way to enter multiple ports here or should the (s) be dropped? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

fc5t3 suspend option soft lockup
by Skunk Worx 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

I have a desktop PC and am trying fc5t3. It's fully yum updated. For fun, I tried System->Shutdown->Suspend. I get a text screen and : Stopping tasks :===<3> BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! Pid: 643, comm cx88 tvaudio (then a register dump i guess...) I have to reset the PC to get it back up. I guess this is a feature for laptops or something? Anyway, thought I'd mention it. The box is a mini PC, IDEQ Biostar 210V. # rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 -- SW

Samba server configuration program chokes on highly-customized/missing smb.conf
by Dane Mutters 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

I've been messing with the samba server settings on my FC5T3 box and I've found that if I have a highly-customized or missing smb.conf, the GUI Samba configuration tool will fail to open (for a highly-customized smb.conf) or crash upon adding a share (for a non-existant smb.conf). I think that a more reasonable behavior would be to have it prompt the user to overwrite, then if the user agrees, copy over /usr/share/system-config-samba/smb.conf.template to /etc/samba/smb.conf, and then act normally. Also, I've found that even a little customization is lost if I make any changes at all using the configuration tool. Shouldn't the user be prompted before overwriting his/her hand-made changes? What do you all think? --Dane

fc5t3+ k3b used CD-RW's fail on erase/rewrite
by David Timms 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

With relation to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179213 I see the same issue. The CD RW is automounted since it already has data on it: you want to erase and reuse the disk. The workaround for me is to manually umount via a terminal: this is not a user thing to be doing. There used to be a thing called ~"user mount tools" that you could unmount stuff with, I doesn't seem to be installed / no longer packaged ?. Also there is an options tool for removable media where you could disable automount - but this is not what you want either. So the question is where should this issue be addressed ? - gnome's automount - there is an icon on the desktop, right clicking in this incarnation (was OK FC4 I think - unmount) provides an eject option; but this ejects the disc, at which point you can't erase it. Re-inserting causes the automount. Enough to drive sane people over the wall ;-) A solution would be for the automounted CD's context menu to provide an Unmount command. simple/obvious (if the desktop is visible), does not require users to do command line hacks. - k3b - is it up to k3b to forcefully unmount the CD-RW so that erase / write process can begin (or at least list exactly what is holding it from unmounting the disk so that erase can start). It probably needs better interpretation of error codes received to state to user how to fix the problem, rather than failing (a bad impression). And a button to instruct k3b to "really" unmount it (no matter what), when the error occurs. - is it up2 the cdrecord tools to unmount it ? [no workarounds - only permanent user usable solutions] DaveT.
