nautilus & sound in FC2
by M.Hockings
I have scrounged around a bit in the archives but don't see any hits on
this but I am sure there must be a solution. I have moved two machines
to FC2, one (an IBM PC300PL) was an upgrade from FC1 and the other (an
old Aptiva) I formatted the disk and did a clean install. I have
similar problems on both in that the file explorer tool (is that
Nautilus?) is acting like an old Window 95 tool such that it lacks the
tree on the left of the window and opens a new window with each
directory you open. I don't see any setting in it to change this and
make the operation like it was in FC1. What am I overlooking?
My second questions is why does sound no longer seem to work. On both
machines now (where sound was working in FC1 with no help just fine) the
soundcard detection tool reports none found.
Any thoughts on either of these anomalies? If I didn't know better I
would have thought that FC2 was previous version of FC1...

Fedora Core 2 installation problem on a Sony Vaio PCG-9L1M
by Jörg-Rüdiger Hill
I have recently tried to install FC2 on a Sony Vaio PCG-9L1M. The installation
goes through smoothly, I can reboot and login as root to complete the
installation (e. g. creating a user). But when I then try to reboot, the
machines goes in an endless loop after having printed something about:
module md failed
(the print statement is incomplete)
and trying to start the X server. Normally, there would be only a limited
number of restart attempts for the X server, but this is not the case here.
I did not change any setting for X Windows the first time I could log in and
the X server was running at this time perfectly well.
Any hint on what might be wrong here would be appreciated.

FC2, postfix, cyrus-imapd virtual domain doc
by James Bourne
re all,
I've put up a short doc on setting up virtual domains using postfix and
cyrus-imapd under FC2 at
http://www.lnxsys.ca/docs/postfix-cyrus-FC2/
I wrote this as I couldn't find any single source that noted the setup of
completely virtual domains. You will need to know a few things about setup
under FC2 already, but it contains fixes for a couple of gotchas that slowed
down the setup process.
Anyone is welcome to email me comments and corrections on this and of course
use it for setting up your own stuff.
Regards
James

FC2 x86_64 doesnt boot with SMP kernel using 4 Opterons
by Axel Jerabek
FC2 x86_64 doesnt boot with SMP kernel using 4 Opterons
on a Tyan Transport TX46 (Mainboard: K8QS Pro)
The UP-kernel boots just fine.
Also downloaded the updates.
The latest kernel precompiled was 2.6.8-1.521
When i try to boot the system with the SMP-kernel
it just shows me the first line: loading the kernel...
Then it reboots/resets back to bios.
Also tried acpi=off as a kernel option.
Doesnt help. Is there anyone with the same problem and maybe fixed it?
Is this a known problem?
Thnx for any help.

mount issue on FC2.B (no CD, DVD, usb camera)
by Jean-Patrick Pommier
Dear all,
I installed a fedora FC2.B from DVD. After installation, it is
impossible to mount an amovible device (CD, DVD, usb camera).
When I try to mount a DVD (from KDE or gnome), I get ... n'est pas un
périphérique valide de type bloc (not a valid block device...)
After some googling I tried:
"dmesg | grep hd" which gave
Kernel command line : no root=LABEL /hdc=ide-scsi rhgb
hdc slimtype COMBO LSC-24082, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
So I tried "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom", result:
/dev/hdc n'est pas un périphérique valide de type bloc
In fstab, there is
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom cdf, iso 9660 noauto, owner, kudzu, ro 00
kudzu detects (from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf):
CDROM desc slimtype COMBO LSC-24082K
bus SCSI
device scd0
driver ignore
host 0
channel 0
lun 0
generic sg0
So I tried "mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom"
result ... "/dev/scd0 n'est pas un périphérique valide de type bloc"
Let see the modules : "/sbin/lsmod" gave (at least):
scsi-mod
uhci-hcd
I also tried "eject /dev/sr0",It doesn't eject anything
I have also been told to try "cd /dev" and "./MAKEDEV". I get a message
regarding the correct way to use MAKEDEV ...
The config:
laptop PCTeck
dual boot XP/fedora FC2.B (kernel 2.6.6)
chipset VIA, CPU nehemia 1GHz, GPU VIA CLE266
DVD/CDRW slimtype COMBO LSC-24082K
Any advice?
*A simple way to fix the stuff
*Reinstalling FC1 + upgrading everything but Kernel 2.4?
*Back to FC1? (It works)
*Waiting FC3?
Thank you
PS
No sound too.

SCSI installations
by Stuart Lamble
Hello FC Users
Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to installing FC2 on SCSI disks?
When I try run the install off cd, the machine just hangs.
Do I need to parse any special boot: parameters to tell FC about SCSI?
Thanks
Stuart
