Development machine setup for both i386 and x86_64 work
by Daniel Yek
Hi,
How Fedora developers set up dev. machines to do both 32-bit and 64-bit
development on a single AMD64 machine?
Does it complicate 32-bit dev. work if the development machine is set up
with x86_64 Fedora Core OS?
I'm not asking what is possible, but how most developers deal with both
32-bit and 64-bit development environment; if different development is done
on different dev. machines, fine, I will try to do that, rather than trying
out something that may not work that well.
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

help for firefox needed

Hash: SHA1
hi all!
first of all, serious apologies if this mail shouldn't have been in
this list.
I was initially having RHEL4 U4 in my laptop and was able to listen to
most of the music online. Trouble has started now with FC6.
The site is : musicindiaonline.com.
I try to listen to any music here..the thing is that, it pops out a
winidow which detects the presence of Java and players installed. Then
it asks for choosing a player between RealPlayer and Windows Media
Player. I choose RealPlayer and click ok button (or whatever is
there). It then doesn't play the song/music but throws an error window
stating --- Error: Methods Missing.
Please help. I have realplay, mplayer etc all installed. I am able to
play mpeg,ogg files but from sites like the one I mentioned above, I
am not able to listen to any music. The same error is thrown in
Seamonkey and epiphany.
Regards,
Amitakhya Phukan.

The livecd-tools and fedora-livecd packages, which is required to
rebuild the live CD, have just been submitted to Fedora Extras, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220635
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220637
for details. Until these packages are in Extras, you can grab source and
binary i386 packages from here
http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/
and start cranking out your own live CD's.
Thanks and a merry Christmas break to everyone!

FC-6-i386-livecd-1.iso boot sequence errors
by Aaron Gray
Hello,
Got two different errors in startup sequence.
The following error repeated about 12 times in boot up sequence :-
Illegal mode for this track or incomplete medium
The failed "Read 10" packet command was:
Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block xxxxxx
The CD was verified after writing, and SHA checked.
Then later in boot up sequence we have :-
Starting system message bus: Unknown group "netdev" in message bus configuration file
Though I should report these to the list.
