OT: Flash Players
by Thomas Taylor
Are Macromedia Flash Player and Shockwave Flash Player the same thing? If
not, can they co-exist on one browser?
I'm using Firefox 1.0.7 under FC4 with the Shockwave Flash Player installed
and enabled but the flash items won't displaybut instead displays "click here
to download flashplayer plugin". When I do that installation, nothing
changes, it still won't display.
Thanks,
Tom

Re: How to get XFS to be properly supported in FC

For the moment, XFS is not officially supported by the Fedora Project
(i.e., you're probably on your own if something breaks).[1] It's also
one of the things on the Wishlist for FC5.[2]

Hope that helps.

Forthcoming FC4 kernel update, more testing required.
by Dave Jones
I've completed a 2.6.13 kernel rebase, and pushed out a
test kernel to fc4-updates-testing. (FC3 probably won't
get another rebase before EOL).
Please give this a try on your systems, and file any
bugs that you happen upon in bugzilla.
You can also find interim 'snapshot' builds at
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC4/
which may fix additional problems since the last updates-testing
release.
I'm hoping to get this pushed out fairly soon depending upon
the feedback I get from how well this kernel works out.
Thanks,
Dave

non-ASCII error messages from gcc
by Berna Massingill
On FC2 (and earlier RedHat) systems, error messages from gcc seem
to have been straight ASCII. On a couple of FC4 systems, output
includes some non-ASCII characters; specifically, the characters
used for single quotes (previous ` and ') have been replaced by
something multi-byte. (I base this claim on redirecting stderr
into a file and then displaying file contents with "od -c".)
The sequence that replaces ' displays okay, but the sequence that
replaces ` does not (appears as boldface u with umlaut).
My guess is that there's an environment variable somewhere that's
not getting set quite right; the man page for gcc seems to be
indicating that what gets produced for error messages is controlled
by environment variables LANG and LC_MESSAGES. LC_MESSAGES is unset;
LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8.
Anyone know how to make the error messages display properly?

gphoto2 made out of src.rpm does not supports usb...
by Strong
I had gphoto2-2.1.5 that worked fine on my FC4. Now I wanted to upgrade
and optimize it to 2.1.6. It compiled well, but when new rpm has been
installed (-2.1.6.i686.rpm) it refuses to work with usb port. Run with
--debug option says,
0.001153 main(2): gphoto2 has been compiled with the following options:
0.001562 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used)
0.001968 main(2): + popt (for handling command-line parameters)
0.002380 main(2): + no exif (for displaying EXIF information)

0.003208 main(2): + no aa (for displaying live previews)
0.003597 main(2): + no jpeg (for displaying live previews in JPEG
format)
0.004068 main(2): + no readline (for easy navigation in the shell)
0.004481 main(2): libgphoto2 2.1.6
0.004944 main(2): libgphoto2 has been compiled with the following
options:
0.005374 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used)
0.005776 main(2): + no EXIF (for special handling of EXIF files)
0.006193 main(2): + no ltdl (working around buggy libltdl, eh? :-)
0.006590 main(2): + /proc/meminfo (adapts cache size to memory
available)
0.007040 main(2): libgphoto2_port 0.5.1
0.007442 main(2): libgphoto2_port has been compiled with the following
options:
0.007975 main(2): + gcc (C compiler used)
0.008360 main(2): + no USB (for USB cameras)
0.009034 main(2): + serial (for serial cameras)
0.009428 main(2): + no resmgr (serial port access and locking)
0.009844 main(2): + no baudboy (serial port locking)
0.010247 main(2): + no ttylock (serial port locking)
0.010658 main(2): + no lockdev (serial port locking)
0.011068 main(2): + no ltdl (working around buggy libltdl, eh? :-)
So I suppose that I compiled without usb support. I looked at configure
--help, but there is even no mention of usb! What should I do to compile
it the right way?
Thank You.
