RocketRAID 1740 driver for Fedora 7
by Ranbir
Hello Everyone,
I have a rocketraid 1740 controller that I want to use in a soon to be
installed Fedora 7 system. Highpoint's website doesn't have any Fedora
7 drivers, but they do provide a package that will let end users build
the rr1740x module for any 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel.
How would one build the rr1740x module for Fedora 7 if one doesn't have
a Fedora 7 system to build the driver on? Can I install the
kernel-devel package from Fedora 7 on a Fedora 6 host, and build the
module that way? Should I use a Fedora 7 virtual machine (e.g. vmware,
xen, etc.)?
Regards,
Ranbir

Subject: sandisk sansa m240
I bought a sansa mdisk 240
I can not figure out how to get a playlist on it.
I can get music on it and play the music I get onto it - but not a
playlist.
I use a shell script to copy files to it - since my mp3's sometimes have
very long file names. When they are copied to the sansa they have names
001.MP3 002.MP3 etc.
It does not play them by file name alphabetical order, I can't figure
out what it does to figure out default play order.
I tried copying a very basic .m3u playlist to it -
001.MP3
002.MP3
003.MP3
I can see the playlist in the sansa but it reports no files when I
select a playlist.
USB settings are set to MSC
Has anyone figured out how to get a playlist onto a sansa m240?
I'm almost wondering if it is something silly like wanting the playlist
to have DOS line breaks - but before I play around too much, I thought
I'd ask if anyone else has done it.
my iPod mini broke :(
That was easy to use in Linux (gtkpod) - but I don't want to buy another
iPod until they make one with a user serviceable battery.
I have the e280 and I've been struggling with this myself.
The playlist format is a specially-formatted UTF-16LE text file. I don't like that either.
I mount mine as a plain USB disk and then use a couple of Python scripts I hand-rolled to create playlists. I actually started writing a little GUI for myself using Qt, but I didn't finish it. Maybe this weekend...

Thunderbird and Snapshot
by Paul Lemmons
I am almost certain I have done this before but I am getting old and may
be imagining things. I have opened up a new message in Thunderbird
(latest and greatest). I have verified that the format is "Rich Text
(HTML)". I go to KSnapShot and snap a section of the screen and click on
the "Copy to Clipboard" button. I then try to paste it into the note and
it simply does nothing.
Am I missing something? I would like to paste an image into a note to
send as documentation to someone.

sensors applet
by Bill Davidsen
Still not working for me with the 2.6.22 kernel. I believe it's
2.6.22.1-33.fc7 and the similar latest in fc6.
It works with the 2.6.2[01] kernels... just looking for feedback, the
sendors command works after rerunning sensors-find.

Power management on intel i945 video chipset
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales
People,
I have a Centrino notebook with intel i945 video chipset and power
management has been a little of a problem lately.
If I use the xorg i810 driver, I can control LCD brightness correctly
and I can suspend to RAM, but I can't resume after a suspend. The LCD
will not turn on again. I had this problem in FC6 and corrected it
altering the suspend and resume scripts to save the state of LCD
brightness to a file when suspending and reading it back when
resuming. In FC6, this information was in /proc/acpi/asus/brn and the
functions for suspending and resuming were
in /etc/pm/functions-intel.
In F7, I have the same problem with i810 driver (can't resume after
suspending, LCD does not turn on), but there's no /proc/acpi/asus/brn
and I couldn't find the suspend/resume functions.
So I tried the new intel driver. After booting, it allows me to adjust
LCD brightness as I wish, and it turns on the LCD correctly after
suspending/resuming. However, once I've done a suspend/resume, the
LCD brightness is set to maximum and I can't adjust it anymore,
unless I reboot.
Anyone has this working 100% on a intel i945 video chipset? How did
you do it?
Thanks,
Marcelo

Belkin Wireless G USB
by John Pierce
Hello!
I posted this to the linux wireless list and have received not
response. I thought maybe someone on the fedora list might have had
some success.
I just purchased a belkin wireless g usb adapter and am not having any
luck getting it to work.
The following is the output from various commands, if more info is
needed then I will post it back.
Distro: Fedora 7
Kernel: 2.6.22.4-65.fc7
I have created a ifcfg-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
with the following:
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=static
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.60
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
ESSID=thedungeon
CHANNEL=11
MODE=Managed
RATE=Auto
SECURITYMODE=open
I have a keys-wlan0 file in that same directory with the wep key for my router.
I set up a file named zd1211 in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory with
the following in it.
alias wlan0 zd1211rw_mac80211
This is the output of dmesg immediately after inserting the usb adapter.
usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
wmaster0: Failed to select rate control algorithm
wmaster0: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm
usb 2-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
zd1211rw_mac80211: probe of 2-2:1.0 failed with error -2
usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1211rw_mac80211
This is the output of lsusb after inserting the adapter.
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 050d:705c Belkin Components
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 15d9:0a33
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
When I try the run ifup wlan0 this is the output.
zd1211rw_mac80211 device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.
Every thing I have read indicates that this device is supported in
linux, including the vendor and device id.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Asus p4p800 deluxe BROKEN INSTALL on FC5- FC6-FC7
by Randy Ramsdell
Ok nice to be right back in the EXACT same position I was in several
years ago regarding this motherboard and installing FC. I think it was
FC3 that this first became an issue, but I was able to work around it
and install FC. So now, I tried to install FC6/7 and I yet to find a way
to get it installed.
So now it has been a year or so without being able to run Fedora/CentOS.
Please help as I really don't want to use Ubunto and especially not Suse.
Anyone have an issue installing on the Asus board?
Trying to install causes a seg fault when dealing with the hard drives
either in BIOS setting compatibility mode or SATA mode. Anaconda shows
the hard drives as "/dev/mapper" or something like that, but as you
know, they should appear as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. All I ever see is a
single "/dev/mapper" which suggests that Anaconda sees a raid array even
after I fdisk the drives. Of coarse this also rendered the system
unusable after the seg fault resulted in a reboot.

Networked hard drive
by Anne Wilson
I've bought a drive with usb and network connection. I used the usb to
quickly transfer a large quantity of data, but intended putting it onto the
network after that. The blurb on the box said it would just pick an ip by
dhcp. However, it seems to me that I need to know something about it in
order to mount it, and I've got a total blank on where to go next. Nothing
appears in /var/log/messages.
I've told the router to reserve an address for it and made an entry
in /etc/hosts. Since I can't see any sign of it being recognised I haven't a
clue how to mount it. Any ideas?

Kernel 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 breaks NFS
by Miner, Jonathan W (US SSA)
Hi -
Just upgraded from 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7, and now seeing problems with NFS. I originally believed the problem was with the automounter, but it looks like it might be NFS instead. Rebooting with the old kernel solves the problem.
In this example, I'll create a new mountpoint, and try to mount my home directory. The directory is being served from a SUN Cluster 2.1 server.
# rm -rf /h
# mkdir -p /h/jminer
# mount superfly:/superfly/vol02/home/jminer /h/jminer
mount.nfs: /h/jminer is already mounted or busy
# echo $?
32
Now, if I try to mount the directory from the physical node, the mount suceeds.
# mount fly_a:/superfly/vol02/home/jminer /h/jminer
# echo $?
0
I saw similar problems with an earlier FC release, but it was related to either the autofs or nfs-utils package.
