Graphical screen dying on new FC4 install
by Dotan Cohen
I just replaced Win98 with Fedora Core 4 on a friends' computer: AMD
550, 128MB RAM. Now, he can work for a limited amount of time (between
20-150 minutes), then the computer gets stuck. Not even the mouse
works. He can, however, switch to a console with CTR-ALT-F1.
When restarted, there is no graphical mode, only console. If he lets
the computer sit for a few hours, he can boot up a graphical screen,
but after some time the problem reoccurs. Nothing in the computer
(open case) seems unusually hot, which was my first thought.
Any ideas on where to look? Thank you.

You should be able to get the latest kernel by just doing "yum update"
as long as you have another way to get on-line with the system (wire,
built-in wireless and ndiswrapper). If not, you may want to look into
pulling down the iso images for one of the unofficial FC4 updates that
are available.

Unable to upgrade FC4?
by Darryl L. Pierce
I tried doing a yum upgrade today and it came back with a list of a
number of upgrade candidates. However, it won't perform the upgrade
because of "Missing Dependancy: libwx_gtk2-2.4.so.0". However, when I
try to install that package (wxGTK) I get the *same* error from yum.
Suggestions?

[FC4] Audio no longer works after upgrade from FC 1
by Gilbert Sebenste
hey all,
I know this was handled *somewhere*, but I can't find it. I am trying to
use the Alsa mixer to pipe audio from a weather radio into my computer to
broadcast out on a web server. After the FC 4 upgrade, there's no
sound...the input appears to be at zero. I have been going through the
Alsa mixer over the last half hour, trying to get it working, to no avail.
can someone help me out here? Thanks!

I use reiserfs and love it. I wish RedHat would be more open to using
it, not even including it in the install seems a bit much to me. Though
I think you can install with reiserfs if you do a linux reiserfs while
booting from the CD, I haven't tested it.

The command lsof run as root will tell you a lot of things including
who is bound to a port.
For example:
lsof | grep 2345
Note that on various flavors unix, I have seen the "already in use" message
for a short time after a program exits. That is, start a program which listens
on a certain port, exit the program, immediately restart the program. A quick test
says FC4 does not seem to do this.

ID Numbering in Group and Passwd
by Dave Brown
I've noticed a bit of an interesting thing with regards to the numbering of
new users and groups when using the useradd and groupadd (and luseradd /
lgroupadd) commands.
Fresh system with no user accounts on it.
Create a group called "myfamily" using "groupadd myfamily" - the file
/etc/group now has the entry "myfamily:x:500".
Create the user "brother" using "useradd brother" - the file /etc/passwd
now has "brother:x:500:501::/home/brother:/bin/bash" and /etc/group has
"brother:x:501"
As you can see the utilities have created the user brother with a userid of
500 and a groupid of 501. All the system accounts (and if you created any
users before you created the group) will have the groupid equal to the
userid. The unequal userid / groupid combo doesnt cause a problem as the
home directory permissions created for the user are fine.
I've done a fair bit of work with user accounts / groups stored in OpenLDAP
and have had to deal with referencing user accounts and changing permissions
etc by the userid/groupid and not by the name and have found recently that
the above behaviour has been causing me problems as I have been (stupidly?)
assuming that the users groupid is the same as their userid and
inadvertently granting group rights to the wrong user / group. Talk about
creating myself a security problem!!!
Im interested to hear what other people think about this. I am just being
pedantic :o) Does anyone think that the behaviour of these tools should be
changed to utilise a user/group id that is unique within BOTH the passwd and
group files? Has anyone encountered other issues as a result of this? If im
encountering this problem should I just accept it and change my
login.defsfile so all userids start at 500 and all groups at 1000.
By the way i'm using FC4 with the all the latest patches, I cant remember if
this behaviour happened on earlier FCs or RHELs and I dont have any machines
with these OSs handy to give it a quick test.
Cheers
