3C905-TX problems
by Michael Bernstein 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hi, I'm having problems with my first Linux installation (so expect some naivite). The Ethernet card - a 3C905-TX on an MSI K7N2G mobo - is a real mare!! Let me say that all works well under WinXP. The NIC is connected to the Cable modem (ftom ntl in the UK). I had loads of trouble getting the board to go "active" at all, but finally managed after I turned off kudzu ("chkconfig kudzu off" and a reboot). Now I can ping and browse, but everything goes at a snail's pace. If I ping the BBC website I get 50% packet loss. I've spent a LOT of time with this now so help would be greatly appreciated. Many thx, Mike PS I tried to work with the on-board nVIDIA ethernet but that wasn't recognised, and nVIDIA don't supply a driver for core 2.4.22-1.2115 _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool new emoticons http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/myemo

FTP Server
by Nicholas Evans 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hello, I've heard quite a few FTPd horror stories, and I was wondering - What is the most secure and reliable FTPd to use? The one that comes with Fedora, or something else? I've been looking on google, but I want some opinions. Thanks! Regards, Nicholas Evans

Yum and xmms problem
by Pedro Fernandes Macedo 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Today I tried to update all my FC machines and on all of them I had the same problem: yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: DCC Yum Repository - 1 - i386 - core Server: DCC Yum Repository - 1 - i386 - testing Server: DCC Yum Repository - 1 - i386 - updates Server: Fedora Linux 1 - i386 - freshrpms Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies ....identical dependency loop exceeded package xmms-mp3 needs xmms = 1:1.2.8 (not provided) The three first repositories are local repos I made by using rsync on one of the official mirrors. I tried adding livna.org also , but it didnt help either... Right now I have these packages: xmms-mp3-1.2.8-3.2.fr xmms-1.2.8-3.p xmms-skins-1.2.8-3.p Is there a way to fix this? It looks like it's trying to install xmms 1.2.9 from the testing repository.. Is there a way to configure yum so it doesnt tries to update xmms? Pedro Macedo

D-Link DWL-650+ and acx100 on FC1
by Dexter Ang 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Can anyone confirm that the hardware "D-Link DWL-650+" works with FC1? This is a WiFi 802.11b CardBus PCMCIA. As I've read through some page, it works with the acx100 drivers. I understand that this kernel module is precompiled in dag.wieers' repository. Is there a generic SRPM of this, as I'd rather have the option of (re)compiling myself, so I don't have to wait for the precompiled rpms when there is a new kernel out. Thanks dex

by Telmo Silva 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hi, I have a small problem. I want to see how many unread packages I have on my mail server so I use Korn. But it doesn't seem to check my imap4 server. With the Gnome applet it all works well. Does anyone know what problem I have or indicate me another good mail monitor for KDE? Thaks, -- Telmo Silva <tsilva(a)zmail.pt>
