To install or not to install?
by Terry Johnson 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

I'm wamting to install Audacity on my computer but the list says it is unstable? I've never downloaded something like that. Is it generally a bad idea to install something unstable? And how long does it usually take for something like that to be deemed stable? Thanks in advance to all who reply!!

MySQLd Password
by Nicholas Evans 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hello I installed a mySQLd from the Fedora disc last night, and got it running. I did the mysql_install_db to set up the user table and stuff, and when I went to set a password for it it says... mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'Table 'user' is read only' I've tried running it as owlmanatt (user account), root, and mysql, but it refuses to work. Could it be a chmod problem? I can't find where mySQL keeps it's database files, so I don't know where to go to fix it. I've been looking on google and trying to make it work since last night, but I can't get it. Any pointers would be much appreciated! (And yes, servers don't seem to like me today.) Thanks!

How much protection is enough..... I fiddled yesterday with the settings in E2K3 and found myself the better solution. I am looping the messages now through a smack together out of the scrap box PII 400 with Linux, ClamAV and Qmail. I must admit that I am quite proud of it. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Joe Lemura [mailto:jlemura@cggenesisproject.com] Sent: February 1, 2004 4:47 PM To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com; fedora-list(a)redhat.com Subject: RE: A host of person(a)redhat.com messages with virus attachements Our in house Windows servers are seeing the same thing at the moment, we are dropping them -----Original Message----- From: Jim Cornette [mailto:jim-cornette@insight.rr.com] Sent: Mon 2/2/2004 8:43 AM To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com Cc: Subject: A host of person(a)redhat.com messages with virus attachements I looked in the headers and noted an address (tony07-108-63.inter.net.il [80.230.108.63 on one of the messages that did not get picked up by my roadrunner pre-scanned virus scanner.

Using Synaptic to upgrade to KDE 3.1.95
by Charles Howse 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, For the sake of consistency I'd like to use Synaptic to do all my package management. I've placed http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fe… into the list of repositories. When I click "Update list", I get the following error: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. It's never done that before. Do I have the right URL? Has anyone upgraded KDE to 3.1.95 using Synaptic? - -- Charles Howse Jackson, TN Fedora Core 1 Uptime: 3 days, 5:52 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAHWAL/S+VsB9RMKgRAlZuAJ9AFm5TztIr949OKF45KrIsLdeLugCeNFHI PhVaXbeUAD/gW+aT4HlKTDQ= =HKHH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

New and eager
by Matthew Polashek 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hi! I am new to the list and Fedora. I have pgrade my Redhat 8 box to Redhat 9 and I am dissatisfied with the progress of the kerne.l (RH9 still uses 2.4.20 and the current is 2.4.24 as far as I can garner) I am downloading the Fedora .iso images to install as I have noticed it includes the 2.4.22 kernel. I would prefer the ease of use of Fedora (which includes a somewhat progressive program) over the cutting edge kernels of other distros. (like Gentoo or whatever where one can run a 2.6 kernel but it's difficult) Can I simply "upgrade" using the anaconda installer or would it be better to go for a completely new installation? Also how can I help out? I am a musician without coding skills really, but I am a professional music textbook editor so maybe I could help with documentation or something. Let me know. I am excited about the project! Thanks! Matt

using a mirror for yum??
by WipeOut 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hi, I would like to update my yum.conf to talk to a local mirror.. The mirrors page says this.. http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/c… but the existing yum.conf says this.. http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever ..but I can't browse the default link to try and figure out exactly what path I should use.. Any pointers.. Maybe there should be a page with the yum.conf entries for each of the FC mirrors.. Later..
