DVD burning - mkisofs max size allowed
by A. Lanza
Hi list,
i'm trying to burn a DVD using k3b, as i usually do for CD burning. I'm
using 4,7GB size DVD-R. The problem is that i cannot burn a 4,4GB. file.
The file is exactly 4,613,704,668 bytes long.
The message i get from k3b is the following:
/usr/bin/mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type
and then
File <file> is too large - ignoring
It seems like the problem is the file size, but that file should fit in
a DVD, shouldn't it? Is there any limit in the size of files written to
DVD?
Thanks,
Alf

Bug report requests for Fedora build of OpenOffice.org software
by Bob Kline
The other day while I was running oocalc in the FC4
distribution of the OpenOffice.org suite the program
crashed and a dialog message came up stating that "OOo
has crashed ..." and requesting that I send a bug
report with the displayed information. Assuming that
the request was from the OpenOffice.org team, I filed
a bug report with them, taking the time to provide a
substantial amount of supporting information. I
received back a terse request that I file bug reports
against the latest, not the production version of the
software I am running. When I wrote back to point out
that I wasn't a beta tester, and that I had only filed
a bug report because they had asked me to, they
retorted that it wasn't their software that had
crashed, and made it very clear that they don't want
bug reports for derived versions of their software
which they didn't build themselves. I wrote back and
apologized for having bothered them, thinking that the
dialog box requesting the bug report had been put up
by the OOo team, rather than the Fedora team, and I
promised that I would pass along to the Fedora team a
suggestion that your build should not be requesting
bug reports for builds of OOo created by the Fedora
team. So that's what I'm doing.
Bob Kline
(Yes, I know it doesn't make any sense for developers
to turn down carefully prepared feedback on problems
in their software, no matter where it's built. I'm
just passing on what I was told by the OOo team.
Sorry!)

Re: FC4 laptop no sound AC'97: amixer: Unable to find simple control PCM-2 and DRC-Range

That helped me on my zd8000. FC3 wav audio worked fine on this laptop, but
it went silent on the "upgrade" to FC4. Looks like this fix ought to go
back into the main tree.

Wow, this is great, it's easy and it works. A bug I had with Nautilus in FC4's Gnome 2.10 is

Hi Jerry,
I looked at your IP to see what kind of router you had.
It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed:
Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited
gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865
Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30
So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22
for you.

x86_64 browsers
by Graham Campbell
I am the proud owner of a new dual core AMD 64-bit system and am
fighting to get it into shape to replace my old system. I am currently
fighting the browser plug-in situation. Is there any tutorial,
white-paper or the like that someone can point me to to do this?
Alternatively how do I create a 32-bit browser?

system-config-users 1.2.39 broken?
by Yeaw Chu Lee
Hi!
Has anyone updated *system-config-users-1.2.39-0.fc4.1* recently and found
that adding new groups do not work anymore? The add new users work just
fine... but I can't seem to create AND edit groups. It just showed a grey
out box with a busy cursor all the time.
Or am I the only one with this problem? ... sigh ...
I would appreciate any response. Thanks.

What microsoft has to say about XP
by Dotan Cohen
I think that more people mould move away from WIndows if they read the notices
on the microsoft website:
"The simple act of visiting an Internet site can be extremely damaging to the
system"
from:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/...
Important to note that the article quoted's purpose is to convince the user to
create and use a standard account, and not the system's default Administrator
account. What this means is that the system's default beaviour is to make the
simple act of visiting an internet site extremely damaging to the system. Why
on earth would people use such an OS?
