FC 6 Install is stalled
by Stan Dereska 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

Sir, After buying a SAM's book and CD from a Microcenter a few days ago, I tried to follow the installation procedure using a CD but my PC failed to recognize an OS (I've erased the hard drive which had Win XP). The book describes an install procedure using a CD from a program called "kickstart" that causes my machine to recognize the CD, I believe. How do I boot up to install FC 6 ? Where can I download kickstart ? I'm new to Unix and Linux . Thanx for your assistance. Regards, Stan Dereska a k a sdereska(a)verizon.net

Where did lib64 directories come from
by Shams 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi, I noticed that Fedora has both /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 Is this only on Fedora or standard across many Linux distros? Why is this needed, I mean why not just have /usr/lib? Thanks Shams --

"Error while initializing sound driver": 2 out of 4 restarts.
by A.J. Bonnema 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi All, Running Fedora Core 6 (updated) I run into regular sound problems. I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. I include as much information as I can below. If you need anything else, please specify. I am quite willing to try different things, but I have no idea ===== Symptom ====== Every time I restart the machine I have to wait whether I can play my music or not. 2 out of 4 times I get the above error message, complete it is: === Error message ==== " Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. " I get this message in a window after KDE starts. ======= Device ============= When I then start (from the GUI) the menu options "Administration/Soundcard Detection" I can see the chip is being detected (nvidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller, module snd-intel8x0), but the PCM device is empty (in both tabs "Sound test" and "settings"). ========== Sound log file ============ Under the tab "System" I can push a button called "Generate sound log file /root/scsconfig.log". I included this file as attachment. If this doesn't work I will send a second mail containing the contents (but it is a large file....). I am running Fedora core 6, updated to the current version. Can someone point me in the right direction? Guus. -- A.J. Bonnema, Leiden The Netherlands, user #328198 (Linux Counter http://counter.li.org)

I'm sure that he meant only for data partitions. ** UPDATE ** Having tried the ~/bin concept, I see that I don't like it, and don't need it. So I scrapped it. Actually, the app works file when run from its own directory (where its support files reside).

24 hour time in Thunderbird -
by Bob Goodwin 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Does anyone know how to get Thunderbird to use 24 hour time when listing email "Date?" I use a large font and need the space that the stupid AM/PM takes for useful [to me] information! I know this is may not be a Fedora question but ... Bob Goodwin

Re: FC6 kernels & 4GB of memory
by Darryl 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Quoting "Wolfgang S. Rupprecht" >To see your memory layout check /proc/mtrr. Ok, this is from 32bit PAE kernel: $ cat /proc/mtrr reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1 reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1 reg02: base=0xc0000000 (3072MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1 reg03: base=0xd0000000 (3328MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1 > reset to factory "optimized" settings. Did that after the last BIOS update. > select mtrr discontinuous (was contigious) That option disappeared with a BIOS update actually. a new one popped up regarding Virtual stuff though. > select mtrr hardware mapping (was disabled) > select iommu 128k (was disabled) BIOS doesn't have those options. I tried downloading the latest/greatest 2.6.21 kernel and compiling my own 32bit "PAE" & "regular" kernels but they did the same thing. "regular" sees all the memory but tells me to use a PAE kernel and "PAE" won't use all the memory and crashes on boot without mem=4095m. A little frustrating since the "regular" kernel and memtest86 see all the memory. The good news is that the on-board NIC is natively supported in .21 though :-/

firefox bookmarks
by Richard E Miles 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Is it possible to save the firefox bookmarks so that when I do a clean install of FC4 I can reload them? I tried to cp the bookmarks.html file back into the /home/rmiles/.mozilla/firefox/0qem39dn.default directory but it did not restore them from an earlier saving of this file. It would be nice to be able to reset the bookmarks that I had in FC 3 to the FC 4 firefox. -- Richard E Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097
