The executable for fstab-sync is in /usr/sbin which is not typically on your path unless you are logged in as root. You can get rpm to show you where the various parts of a package such as hal are installed: rpm -qil hal As far as your question about correctly mounting the zip drive, check out the following URL. It doesn't address exactly your issue, but it should get you pointed in the right direction. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-November/msg00984.html That combined with the section of the output from 'lshal' pertinent to your zip drive should give an idea of what needs to happen. -- C.

Re: Memory Leak

Thanks free = total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 507584 325348 182236 0 28296 139788 -/+ buffers/cache: 157264 350320 Swap: 1043272 0 1043272 The output of slabtop taken at the same time is a printscr (I am not running any gui on the fedora machine) at this location [url=http://www.hughes-family.com/slabtop.jpg]Slabtop Jpeg[/url] Kernel = 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 I have seen all the posts that state that the memory usage is normal, and I can understand growth on demand - the release of cache pages will depend on the wash methods (fifo etc). I don't understand the constant decrement of 64k off physical and 4k or 8k added to cache that happens every 4 mins (or so) without the corresponding growth in the program sizes. If the 64k was being added to cache, then I would expect it to match. Or is this the method that fedora uses to build up the physical memory. Why does the disk spin and the machine lock up when it hits swap? If the memory is cache, then surely it won't start swapping until the cache memory is utilised. Any help or direction as to where to look is appreciated. Daf -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org

How can I install & configure WINE under FC3?
by Samuel Díaz García 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I was installed WINE, but I don't know how I can configure to install windows applications and run them after. Any help? Any interesting links? Had anybody used wine to install and play StarCraft? I had reading about a wine "clone", but I want use wine.

Problems with rpm database
by Carl Reynolds 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

I just installed Fedora Core 3 x86_64 on a machine and used rpm to get atrpms-kickcstart for the x86_64 architecture. When I run apt-get update it gives me a lot of warnings like W:: There are multiple versions of "...." To disable warning set: RPM::Allow Duplicated-Warning "false" I did the following command: rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n' | sort | uniq -d | grep -v '^kernel' It shows 206 duplicate modules in the rpm database. The duplicates all have the same name and version number. That is, there are two versions of qt in the database, both with the same version, etc. I think that the people who made the distribution I'm using left both the i386 and x86_64 versions of all these packages in the system and rpm sees both versions. I tried rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches packagename for each duplicated package, but that causes a lot of problems because after about 20 packages, rpm stops working because I had removed a package it needs. And there seem to be quite a number of these. I tried apt-get -f update repeatedly and it seemed to clear up the problems until I entered apt-get dist-upgrade When I tried apt-get -f dist-upgrade repeatedly, it erased all the binaries in /usr/bin I tried rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.* rpmdb --rebuilddb -vv It rebuilt the database with all the duplicates. I tried rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches --repackage akisaurus and it created aiksaurus-1.2.1-2.i386.rpm and aiksaurus-1.2.1-2.x86_64.rpm in /var/spool/repackage. Thinking I could remove each package one at a time and reinstall it from the repackage directory. When I tried rpm -i /var/spool/repackage/aiksaurus-1.2.1-2.x86_64.rpm It gave me a V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 4f2a6fd2 I'm running out of ideas to try. Would someone please tell me how to get rid of the duplicates from my rpm database? Thanks, Carl.

Need help creating CDs that will pass mediacheck
by Dan Trobridge 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

New to Fedora, but not RH. Pulled binary ISO's using torrent and all passed md5sum. I have created several copies of the ISO's using Nero 6 and have tried several different combos to burn. According to what i have read it should be as simple as <Record-Burn Image-(Select Image)-Check Finalize CD-Burn. None have past linux mediacheck yet. disc1 fails with "...glibc-common-2.3.3-74 cannot be found." I have 5 disc1s randomly pulled from the spindle, all which fail. None of the other disc's I have created for Fedora have passed the mediacheck either. Thanks for the help.

Re: usb storage devices
by jery_wang 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Hello, Ankush Even before I sent my last message to this list, I was completely up to date. I am running the latest stable kernel update: kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 I am also running the latest stable update of hotplug: hotplug-2004_04_01-8.1 As I mentioned, I was running both of these when I sent my last message. Also, my problem is that my devices dissappear, not that they are not detected. If I unplug a device that has "dissappeared" and plug it into a different USB2 port, it is immediately detected. Also, if I unplug a device and plug it back into the same port (I've only tried that after waiting a few minutes), the device magically reappears. I can't remember though if the device is actually functional. Also, I am now running a PCI USB2 card, and I've been using the burner successfully ever since. I just tried to use our scanner while it was plugged into that PCI USB2 card, and I ended up having to reboot about five times. When I plugged it back into one of the front USB2 ports on our machine (this port is connected directly to the mainboard instead of being a PCI card) the strangest thing happened: I could finally scan without the scanner hanging. I hate to do it, but I think I will take the scanner to a machine that I have access to that runs Windows XP. I will see how it behaves... If there is a development or testing kernel or hotplug RPM that you think I should try, please let me know. Again, our devices get detected and re-detected just fine, the problem is that they just dissappear.... Steven P. Ulrick Just to throw my 2 cents into this discussion. I installed FC3 kernel 2.6.10-1.741 onto my gateway 7200x system. When i plugged in my usb braille display, it sometimes detects and other times it doesn't. I ran yum to get fully up to date, and still have the problem. I just unplugged and re-plugged the display into one of the usb ports on the back of the pc, the /var/logs/messages file shows the following info: Feb 16 09:08:02 oasis brltty[623]: USB URB status error 84: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.

/usr/bin/rmic -- why?
by Joel 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

What are jar, rmiregistry, and who knows what else doing in /usr/bin ? I know that everyone just shoves /usr/local/java/sdk/bin (or whatever) in at the top of $PATH, but I can think of several very good reasons that is not a good idea. So if there's a good reason, I'd like some feedback before I post a bug on this. -- Joel Rees <rees(a)ddcom.co.jp> digitcom, inc. 株式会社デジコム Kobe, Japan +81-78-672-8800 ** <http://www.ddcom.co.jp> **
