Re: Kernel panic after FC2->FC5
by Jack Howarth 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Michael, If I can mount the upgraded FC5 partitions in linux rescue mode, would it make sense to just chroot to them and attempt to yum update everything to the latest versions? I do worry that just attempting to install a newer kernel might tickle some missing dependencies if I don't do it through yum. Jack

Nautilus network browsing problem
by Paul Erickson 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

For some reason, due to updates in the last week or so, Nautilus cannot browse via the Windows Network, but these filesystems can be mounted manually using 'mount -t cifs...' commands. Nautilus will then see the filesystems. but only because it isn't required to use Windows networking to get to them (by mounting them manually, that part of Nautilus is bypassed). Does anyone know why the CIFS mounts would work, but Nautilus Windows networking would not? Thanks in advance. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- cheers, Paul - VA7NT - email: va7nt(a)telus.net "Those who hear not the music, think the dancers mad." “Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.” - Thomas Mann "That state which separates it's warriors from it's scholars will have it's thinking done by cowards and fighting done by fools" - Thucydides - The Pelopenisia

The dialog box still exists. Alt+F2. I guess that's either proof that it isn't all that useful or proof that I hardly ever run GNOME (or both :-).

Adding FC5 to an XP computer -
by Bob Goodwin 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

I'm about to add an 80G sata second drive to a Dell 2.8G XP computer that I wish to boot to both Linux and Windows XP. I have the FC5 DVD from which I intend to do the install. What do I need to know before I start? XP Home is already installed and I have no way to reinstall it, no o/s CD's are provided. There will probably be choices for locating boot and grub, what is best to do there? Any suggestions, reference material, etc. appreciated. Bob Goodwin

FC5 new install memory issue....
by Tom Bishop 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

I have a new MSI K9mgm2 AM2 system that I just built and loaded with FC5 x_64. The problem that I am havin is that the system is writing to the memory like it is disk and the more I do the less I have (I have 2gig). I am running with the latest kernel (2174) and not sure what to look at. I can provide more system details if needed, but am running out of ideas. My main drive is a serial drive and I do have a swap partition but it never uses it, once the memory gets down so far it just locks up. Anyone, anyone have any suggestions/help. Thanks.

evince and wading through treacle (ie slow)
by Ian Malone 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Does anyone else find that Evince is incredibly slow for pdf? It's taking minutes to display a single page, especially in longer documents. But I can load the same thing in kpdf and arbitrarily jump around with no problems; seconds to load even complex pages. eg: <ftp://ftp.terratec.net/Audio/Aureon/Aureon7.1Space/Manual/Aureon7.1Space_Ma…> PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7535 ian 15 0 109m 30m 11m S 82.3 3.1 11:28.29 evince -- imalone

Toslink Setup
by Peter Hutnick 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

I have a Chaintech AV710 (a.k.a. "Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)" in lspci). Is there a way to make it output on Toslink by default? Do I have to find some obscure device ID and configure every audio application individually? Thanks, Peter

OT: block mail for specific user
by James Pifer 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

This is way OT, but I'd rather not get on yet another mailing list. I want to setup email for one of my kids, but I only want to allow mail from specific addresses and blocking all others. I'm running Sendmail with MailScanner. Any way to do what I'm looking for? Thanks, James
