These messages are ok. They mean you unplugged your USB device.

See the model DK23DA-20 and vendor HITACHI? You may need to add an entry to
/etc/ubdfstab.conf.default to prepare the mounting of the usb device. Your
Sony DSC-S70 will have a description of its own that you can use to make an
entry.

Same issue.
Also, once you are have troubleshooted your issue, always manually unmount
your device before unplugging it, especially if you are performing write
operations to it.

Volume control under KDE
by roger2
Hi.
I don't seem to be able to find the volume control In KDE.
I can find various sound systems like aRTs where I can play test sound.
I can even start a CD playing and just about hear it with the laptop
physical volume control right up.
The only vol control I have found is the Bell settings which is
available if I click the use sys bell box when tested it is very loud
until turned down to 1% and off at 0%.
Help please
Acer 508 laptop FC1 dual boot win98 sound OK.
Same problem if booted straight into FC1 from switch on.

3C905-TX problems
by Michael Bernstein
Thanks, Gents. I went out and got a new NIC this AM and things were
perfect on the net within 10' of getting home. Wasted a lot of time, but
have to be philosophical. My confidence is up a bit again.
Now, if only I can get at my PC drives, change the name of the system, ....
Regards,
Mike

fstab vanishing entries
by Daniel R. Jimenez
Hi,
I have just completed clean install of fedora core 1. Since I have a
number of HD which I do not what mounted at boot time, I have included a
line in the fstab such as
/dev/hda1 /mnt/w2k vfat noauto,user,kudzu,rw, 0 0
and also created a dir int /mnt called w2k so I can through a icon on
the desktop mount the drive. This works fine, until I reboot, at which
time the line added to the fstab vanishes, as well as the dir I create
in the /mnt dir
I feel like I am loosing the plot, what is the prob?

the transition to the 2.6 kernel in FC2-test1
by Robert P. J. Day
still reeling from my innocent query regarding ntpdate and ntpd, i'm
still interested in figuring out how seamless/messy the upgrade to the 2.6
kernel will be in FC2-test1 (or whatever it will be called).
personally, i spent months running the 2.5-test series and, briefly,
2.6 until i had to back off to 2.4 just because i wanted to add logical
volumes and i didn't feel quite macho enough to try to shoehorn LVM2
support in there (although i'm still thinking about it.)
so, with the first test release scheduled for feb 2 (according to
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule), is there somewhere
a doc explaining how an upgrade will handle the incompatibilities
between 2.4 and 2.6 involving things like (among others):
- different module structure, modules.conf vs modprobe.conf (not to
mention different module file names)
- different USB module names in /etc/rc.sysinit (and a different
USB filesystem name)
- other differences in /etc/rc.sysinit, "ksyms" vs "ksllayms", for
example
- LVM1 vs LVM2 support, etc.
some of this is just cosmetic, but some of it is more substantial.
is FC2 going so support a straight upgrade from FC1? and if so, how
will it handle these differences, particularly if people want to mix
both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels as boot time options?

how to use "ntpd" to emulate "ntpdate"?
by Robert P. J. Day
until now, i've been using "ntpdate" to sync up the clock on my
(very mobile) laptop when i wanted to do it manually. all that
was necessary was:
# ntpdate <some stratum 2 server>
and the sync was immediate.
from the "ntpd" man page, however, ntpdate is deprecated and i can
theoretically get the same effect with some variation of "ntpd -q".
but i've tried that and the effect is (as the man page suggests) not
immediate. is there a way to have that sync take place immediately
using "ntpd", rather than waiting for the next sync operation, to
more closely emulate the behaviour of ntpdate?
or am i misreading the man page?

ulimit / nofile
by Thomas M øller Andersen
Hey!
How do I set the maximum number of open files for a single user? I figured
setting something like this in /etc/security/limit.conf:
tma hard nofile 4096
This should allow tma to say 'ulimit -n 4096' in a bash shell!?
Well, it doesn't work and as an extra 'feature' tma is unable to log in
with ssh after adding the above line to limit.conf.
Any advice?
B. regards,
Thomas
