avahi-autoipd error during yumex update
by Richard England
Using yumex to update my F9 installation, this morning, and I
encountered the following:
09:30:02 : Transaction Check Error: file
/etc/avahi/avahi-autoipd.action from install of
avahi-autoipd-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 conflicts with file from package

avahi-autoipd-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 conflicts with file from package

avahi-autoipd update is apparently brought in as a dependency of
NetworkManager-0.7.0-11.svn4402.fc9.i386 update.
When I look for the files indicated as being in conflict, I do not find
them on my system.
Has anyone else encountered this? Workarounds? Causes? The

firefox --class WM_CLASS_user_defined_value (firefox3)
by reikred＠gmail.com
It used to be (in any firefox 2.0.0.X and below) that one could
force the value of the xprop WM_CLASS value to some user-defined
value rather than a default value, by using a command line argument.
For example
#version 2.0.0.16 started with --class=Firefox2
% xprop | grep WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gecko", "Firefox2"
This is useful for window managers that use WM_CLASS to sort icons.
Questions:
1. What happened in the source code, and where?
2. is there a workaround that I can use?
I have grep'ed the source code for 2.0.0.16 and 3.01 without
coming to any conclusions.

Fedora Wiki proposal: The Fedoran Way
by Renich Bon Ciric
I have an idea I would like to propose here and see what you guys
think. I'm thinking starting a wiki called something like "The fedoran
way" to post how a sys-admin would take care of a network using fedora,
the right way and not tweaking it... but using what the developers have
done in our favour, so... could this make it as a fedora project?
...and, maybe, the wiki could have 3 scenarios, small network, medium
network and large network.
I know I don't have the knowledge to take it on, by myself... but maybe
somebody here wants to help... or, just maybe, I can get it started.
I would like some feedback, please.

python Q?

Greetings all;
Recent yumex updates om an F8 system seem to have fouled up one or two things:
[root@coyote ~]# /usr/bin/system-config-display

File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 315, in <module>

if screen.device:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'device'
Can this be fixed?
If yes, how?
Thanks.

F9: No audio on Compaq V5000
by Richard Shaw
I recently got my wife to switch to Fedora as she was getting very
frustrated with Windows on her not so new laptop (Compaq V5000 AMD Turion
1.6Ghz w/ Radeon M200 video).
Everything works well except there is no audio. Direct from boot there is no
/proc/asound or /dev/snd directories. lspci does not show any audio devices
so I'm not sure what driver to use. Neither the alsa wiki or google were
much help.
I tried modprobe snd-intel8x0 since it's really common and the module loaded
and created some entries under /proc/asound but alsamixer still didn't see a
sound card.
She likes F9 overall but has to have working sound. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

trying to install Scalapack on Fedora 9
by Gary Chen
Hello,
I've been having a lot of trouble trying to get SCALAPACK to install
properly on my Linux 64 bit installation.
Running 'yum install scalapack.x86_64', the following dependencies get
installed:
Dependencies Resolved
=============================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository

=============================================================================
Installing:
scalapack x86_64 1.7.5-2.fc9 fedora
19 M
Installing for dependencies:
blacs x86_64 1.1-26.fc9.1 fedora

blacs-devel x86_64 1.1-26.fc9.1 fedora

lam x86_64 2:7.1.2-11.fc9 fedora
1.6 M
Transaction Summary
=============================================================================
Install 4 Package(s)
Update 0 Package(s)
Remove 0 Package(s)
Total download size: 21 M
I tried testing a simple BLAS level 1 test called /usr/bin/xspblas1tst
and got:
[garyc@usc scalapack_installer_0.92]$ /usr/bin/xspblas1tst
/usr/bin/xspblas1tst: error while loading shared libraries:
liblamf77mpi.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I thought it was odd that LAM shared library was not in the search path,
so I added an entry into /etc/ld.so.conf as:
/usr/lib64/lam
and ran ldconfig
Now when I ran the BLAS 1 test I got:
[garyc@usc scalapack_installer_0.92]$ /usr/bin/xspblas1tst
/usr/bin/xspblas1tst: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib64/lam/liblamf77mpi.so.0: undefined symbol: lam_F_status_ignore
Do you know what could be the problem? Is the version of the LAM
library not correct?
I tried the hard way by trying to compile each of the components, but
that opened up a whole new can of worms.
Thanks!
