good command-line audio player for fc5?
by Peter Horst
Is there a good command-line audio player for fc5? I just want something
simple that I can use via PuTTY to play .oggs and internet radio streams.
I tried a program called 'orpheus', but it stopped working almost
immediately ('cannot open the mixer device: /dev/mixer' and 'The ogg
player program has terminated.').
Thanks much!

You have a couple of good suggestions on fixing this; I'm more worried about how it happened. There's no
Did you delete something manually? Did you install or upgrade something
using "nodeps" or "force"?
Good luck, this is a fun thing to resolve ;-)
<Joe
well I never install with nodeps or force. Lately i've only been installing with fedoras package management system. So I have no idea how this happened.

foomatic-rip: catastrophic memleak
by Colin Brace
Hi all,
Just now I went to print a pdf document in evince. The print job quit
halfway through, and a program called "foomatic-rip" started grabbing
all my memory; the last top reading was 667 MB resident memory and
1069 MB virtual. Alas, I didn't get to the command line in time enough
to kill it and completely choked my system; I could neither ssh in
from another machine to kill it nor kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace;
my only recourse was a hard-reboot (accompanied by a lot of cursing).
I've seen footmatic-rip sporadically misbehave this way before, both
under FC6, which I am currently running, and FC5; previous occasions
it has been printing from Firefox. I don't see it happen when printing
from Abiword or glabels on the other hand.
Anyone have any idea what is going on? I am printing to a Lexmark Z-51
USB printer.
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
foomatic-3.0.2-39.1.fc6

Enable printer wierdness ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
This is a little complex to follow. It's taken me two weeks to define
the problem without finding a solution. Basically, my HP
psc_1310_series printer keeps becoming un-enabled and removed as
default. Here is what happens:
I login, check my printer_config settings and my HP psc_1310_series
printer is check marked as enabled. Open a word processing or text
editing program such as Open Office Writer, AbiWord, emacs or gedit and
try and print a test page. The test page is put in the queue but no
printing. I again check my printer_config; my HP psc_1310_series
printer is no longer enabled. If I re-checkmark the enabled box and
'Apply', the printer immediately prints everything in the queue even if
I have cancelled all the outstanding jobs.
Everything continues to print fine in every program until I log out and
in again. The cycle continues with the printer_config being marked as
enabled until I call a new test print job.
I am baffled.

Yum installonlypkgs purging all but previous version of kernel
by Ed
I would like to keep the current and previous 2 kernel releases, in
FC5 the installonlypkgs list did not remove packages in the list and
(ISTR) I removed old ones manually.
In FC6 I have kernel and kernel-devel in the installyonlypkgs list in
yum.conf but after a kernel upgrade I find that all versions older
than the previous have been removed, e.g. today I upgraded to kernel
2869 and now only have kernels 2868 and 2869 on my machine. No package
removal is listed on the yum log
How do I get the previous behaviour?, ideally specifying the number of
versions to keep.

Determining Which Physical Drive Matches Which Logical Device

md0 : active raid5 sda[0] sdd[3] sdc[2] sdb[1]

Any suggestions?

FIXED IT - Re: Problem with cups printing since upgrading to FC6
by Bill Johnson
This is no longer an issue. Thanks to those who helped. After upgrading my
system to FC6, cups would not print to my lan printer. However, I ran yum
update, and after that, everything worked fine.
problem solved.

DPMS errors in vncserver (fc6)
by Gene Smith
When I start kde in a vncserver I see the log file (in ~/.vnc/) slowly
fill with this:
Xlib: extension "DPMS" missing on display ":1.0".
This occurs even when a viewer is not connected.
Otherwise, the server/viewer works ok.
If I start gnome or twm from ~/.vnc/xstartup I don't see these errors.
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
-gene
P/S: If I uncomment the two lines for a "normal desktop" (whatever that
means) it still runs gnome even when trying to run kde, e.g.,:
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startkde &
<eof>
So I keep them commented to run kde:
#unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Help with data retrieval
by Arthur Pemberton
Hello list,
I have an IDE HDD with a vfat (FAT32) partition, in a USB enclosure.
There seems to be a hardware failure. Machines can still mount the
partition, but errors cause reading to be very slow.
What are the optimal methods for automating the retrieval process? I'm
guessing some of you have techniques/scripts which would help me get
as much data as possible.
Please advise.
Than you.
