by Yordanis Tornes Medina
a few weeks ... I install a kernel from
http://mhensler.de/swsusp/ and it boot up my laptop,
but I could't ever make it suspend to my swap
partition... my swap partition is in an LVM, the error
was that path to swap is not recongnize as an device
id.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the feedback. I'll throw one of these
kernels together and
try it out. Funny timing, www.swsusp2.net seems to
have disappeared.
Regards,
Patrick

Is it a SATA drive? And is your motherboard's controller a Silicon Image
one (uses "sata_sil" driver under Linux)? If so, I've seen that
problem too on some of our systems, and read about it elsewhere --
not sure where to point the finger, but it seems that
the Seagate SATA drives don't implement the protocol the way that the
Silicon Image controllers want, so you get spurious I/O errors.
(That is, they're real as seen from the Linux point of view, but don't
indicate bad spots on the disk, or failure of the drive electronics, etc.)
Haven't heard where the incompatibility lies, but "hdparm -W0" disables
write caching on the drive -- I bet that reduces performance a good deal,
so not the most desirable way to work around the problem.
Better workaround: other manufacturers' drives work fine, so you
might be able (... might have been able?) to return your Seagate
drive and get a similar one, e.g. from Western Digital. That's
what we did. I couldn't even *install* FC2 on our si-image-equipped
systems with a Seagate drive, nor with its replacement -- the installer
would detect an I/O error after copying a few tens of MB, and the
driver would lock up. But WD drives have worked flawlessly.
And dozens of Seagate drives are working well for us on other
SATA controllers.

OSX- Fedora network problem
by Eric Johns
first let me describe the setup I have.
I have an G3 ibook running 10.3.9 using an airport card which is
connected to a Netgear router. The Desktop is running Fedora 4 and is
connected to the router via an ethernet cable. Firewalls are turned off
and I'm using samba, To cap this off I am rather new to Linux and
networking.
Using the desktop I can see my home directory on the ibook and do
everything I want (that part is great)
while on the ibook I can connect to the Desktop I can ssh, ftp with no
problem but I can not see the home directory on the desktop. Every now
and then I see in the Network folder an icon for the desktop computer
but it's faded and when I click on it I get "The alias "ODEN" could not
be opened, because the original item cannot be found" when I try to
connect to the server with the address smb://username@ipaddress/share I
get "could not connect to server because the name or password is not
correct"
I have searched the net looking for an answer, but I guess the problem
is with me and not a bug because it seems I am the only person who has
this problem.
Any ideas on how this idiot can fix it ... :)
thanks

SCO-ANSI terminal emulation
by Terry Polzin
Hey group:
Anyone know of a package or product that can do this. I'm hoping to install a
package that can emulate SCO-ANSI to telnet into a legacy app machine and
replace some dumb terminals with LTSP clients.
THANKS,
Terry

Little Linux tip, if you're not sure what a file is, use the file
command:
####sshd_config file###
~]$ file /etc/ssh/sshd_config
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: ASCII English text
### or an executable ###
~]$ file /usr/bin/ssh
/usr/bin/ssh: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
### or a gif for example ###
~]$ file /var/www/icons/php.gif
/var/www/icons/php.gif: GIF image data, version 89a, 120 x 64
Its not perfect, but it'll give you a good idea.

Minimizing a window makes it inaccessible.
by L. Paul Andralouis
Hi:
After an update to X11 I had some errors in the
gnome desktop, and canceled the restart of some items
when they failed to start.
Since that time I find that when I minimize a
window, I can't get it back again.
Does anyone have any ideas what I need to get
started again?
Thanks for your help.

yum : remove + install problems
by Bruno Costacurta
Hi All,
I tried to 'ymu remove firefox' but received hereafter errors.
Now 'yum list installed firefox' indicates wrongly that firefox is already
installed.
(please see hereafter output).
How to force refresh / rebuild yum database ? Other actions ?
I tried 'yum clean all' but without results.
Thanks,
Bruno

how to fix apache
by Raymond Norton
I have a core 3 install I started installing sql-ledger on a few months
ago. Today I started working with it again and cannot start apache without
getting errors. I can't remember if I had ever started apache prior to
this, so I am not sure if the problem came from working with sql-ledger.
Is there a way to fix this, or should I start over with apache? When I did
the server install I thought I included just about every module offered.
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_auth_mysql.so into server:
libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
[root@project-1 conf.d]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf/mason.conf:

Hi Patrick,
I am very happy with the kernels from Matthias Hensler:
http://mhensler.de/swsusp/
But you do have to install them one by one.
Works for me.
