FC2 test3 and nVidia driver
by Tim Alberts 03 May '04

03 May '04

Anyone know the situation with nVidia and their graphics drivers. I've tried to install the graphics driver on FC2 test2 and FC2 test3. Neither worked. I sincerely hope that nVidia plans on updating their video drivers to support the 2.6 kernel soon.

RE: up2date hanging
by Steve Pyatt 02 May '04

02 May '04

I had this same issue. On top of about a dozen others just getting started. I ran it several times before it seemed to get everything correctly. The nice thing is once it is downloaded, it did not download again. You might try running just a few of the packages instead of all of them. It didn't seem to really matter though.

Having taken most of yesterday downloading (102 updates) I left it overnight. This afternoon when I returned to it, the download had finished and it needed me to click a button before proceeding (?). I clicked about 4 hours ago and then sat watching the hourglass. The hourglass is still spinning and it's time to go home again. Two questions 1) should it take this long? (Celeron 700 with 120MB (8MB stolen by graphics card) 2) if I kill it and start again, will it a) do better next time, and b) need to re-download everything. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000

BitTorrent help
by russell 02 May '04

02 May '04

I installed the BitTorrent client via Yum using the FreshRpms repository. I can't seem to get the program to run. I'm probably overlooking something obvious but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be most appreciated. tia r.

printer not listed
by Jay Daniels 02 May '04

02 May '04

My printer works fine under Fedora. It's a Lexmark E323 with postscript (emulation?). However, I had to pick generic postscript printer in cups. What is the file I need to get from Lexmark (file extension name?) to include the proper support for this printer in cups so it shows up in the list when setting up the printer? I realize that there is a binary Linux driver for this printer, but I don't think it's needed since the printer works out of the box with the generic postscript under cups. I would need some type of spec file for this specific postscript printer? We have already tried the lexmark 323 linux driver and the print quality is no different than the cups generic postscript driver. However, I have not tried printing envelopes, lables, using special fonts, etc. jay

If at all possible, I would also like to know if anybody has any suggestions of software to convert from .vob video files to either mpeg or avi or anything else that is compressed.

1 of 2 CDROM freezes
by amar_for_linux 02 May '04

02 May '04

Hi, I have got two CDROM drives on my PC (99 make, P2, 512MB, dualboot- win2k/fedora core1). CDROM1 (read/write) gets recognized but CDROM (read only) just hangs on being accessed. ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM (hangs!) Samsung CD-R/RW SW-224B. (ok!) One gets recognized as SCSI drive (samsung, about 2 years old) and is operational.The other drive gets recignized as IDE (ATAPI, about 5 years old). Anything I try simply does not work. The system just hangs and I need to restart. Even saying "eject cdrom" hangs the system. When I boot with GNOME, it just hangs in the startup screen (on the CDROM icon). KDE allowed me to get in and check out the drives from the shell. I am lost as to what needs to be done next. Any help would be great guys! Thanks! from dmesg: hdb: ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive blk: queuec040cfc0, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0Xffffffff) hdb: Disabling (U)DMA for ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE. from /etc/fstab: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf: class: CDROM bus: IDE detached: 0 device: hdb driver: ignore desc: "ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM" - class: CDROM bus: SCSI detached: 0 device: scd0 driver: ignore desc: "Samsung CD-R/RW SW-224B" host: 0 id: 0 channel: 0 lun: 0 generic: sg0 Thanks! amar _________________________________________________________________ Easiest Money Transfer to India.

A reboot user
by WipeOut 01 May '04

01 May '04

Hi, I have a colocated server and when I have to get them to reboot it they just hit the power switch which can't be good for filesystems and databases.. Is there a way I can create a user account that will reboot the server on login? This way I can give them a user account and they simply login with that account and it reboots the server.. I am guessing I need to create a login script or something similar but I am not sure how to get the system to execute the script at login if that is the way to do it.. Thnaks..

RE: disk problems or false alarm??
by Guolin Cheng 01 May '04

01 May '04

Hi, William, Thanks. Then how to increase PCI IDE disk speed through adjusting PCI bus speed? What I've said is: even I tried to improve PCI bus speed by specifying "idebus=66", the sustainable PCI IDE disk data transfer speed is still about 33MB/s, while the hard disks themselves may be capable of providing higher speed. Thanks. I definitely know apple and orange, both fruits are my favorite. :) --Guolin Cheng -----Original Message----- From: William Hooper [mailto:whooperhsd3@earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 3:45 PM To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com Subject: RE: disk problems or false alarm?? Guolin Cheng said: > Formerly I specify "idebux=66" parameter to kernel when system boot, > but it doesn't help. The sustainable PCI speed is still about 33MB/s. You are comparing apples to oranges. idebus is the PCI speed in Mhz. 33MB/s is the bandwidth of the PCI bus. -- William Hooper -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
