Can't Reset gnome-keyring Password?
by Richard Heck
For some time now, my daughter's been having a problem with her WPA key:
NM asks for it every time she logs on. I seem to have figured out why,
more or less. Let me say that she's using LXDE under F10 on an Eee 901.
When trying to debug something else, I reset her password to what it
originally was when I set up her account, and suddenly everything
worked. I changed it to something else, and it didn't work; changed it
back, and then it did again. So I ran Settings>Passwords, etc, or
whatever it is, and there was a button that said something like "Reset
keyring password". Unfortunately, clicking that button just got me an
error message, something like "Unable to reset keyring password". Very
helpful.
Any ideas?

pymol issues with fedora 10 testing
by Jack Howarth
Is anyone else seeing these issues with Fedora 10 testing?
I am seeing two problems. The first only occurs on x86_64
where when pymol is started for the first time upon each
login (using the radeon drivers for X11), only the Pymol
viewer window appears. The Pymol Tk window on the top never
appears. I have to manually kill the pymol with ctrl-c and
restart it. At this point restarting pymol always works correctly
for the second and successive attempts. I am thinking that this
has to be related to the recent update of tk-8.5.3-5.fc10.
I don't get any errors in the terminal window which starts
pymol or the messages log.
The second problem I am seeing is with the fglrx 9.2
drivers packaged by rpmfusion. I find that these video
drivers on both i386 and x86_64 cause the Pymol demos
to be rendered in a slow jerky fashion with the entire
Pymol viewer window flashing. This didn't occur with
the previous fglrx 9.1 drivers.
Jack
ps Getting X11 to be stable for 3D usage these days
has really become a nasty game of Russian roulette.

Redhat 2 error message during kernel install
by Paul Ward
Hi all,
I know this is not Fedora but it is close enough I think.
I have just updated a Redhat 2 box running kernel "
uname -a
Linux erato 2.4.9-e.72enterprise #1 SMP Tue Jul 3 21:57:23 EDT 2007 i686 unknown
When installing a new kernel after downloading it via rhn I got the follwoing:
[root@erato up2date]# rpm -ivh kernel/kernel-enterprise-2.4.9-e.74.i686.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:kernel-enterprise ########################################### [100%]
All of your loopback devices are in use!
I checked arounf the web but struggled to find an answer.
It seems according to grub it did not write the initrd line into the
config, so I guess the initrd went wrong.
I looked at the mods loaded and noticed no loop device, however after
the attemped install the folloing line appeared.
[root@erato up2date]# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
loop 11952 0
At this point I ran out of ideas, can anyone suggest what step to take
next, this is a live server and as such do not want tt do lots of
reboots, it is also a remote server that I only have access to via
ssh, so want to be careful about what I do to the network and loopback
device.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks again!
By going to your link, I've installed the extras-freeworld & can now watch DVDs -- Hoo-Ray!!
(Is there a way to "poke" an out-of-date mirror? I'd been getting the "plugin-abi message for at least 3 weeks...)
OK now to try & a) beat Skype into submission & b) sort out the connections between PA & the other multimedia apps.
Thanks, Rex

Sooo Here's the problems:
On start up, a little black window pops up saying that Phonom can't
usesomething - I guess the AC97 onboard sound - reverting to Sis S17012.
The start ding dong sounds like the crystal set I built in the 50s....
180% distortion.
Kaffeine can only see one of the 2 DVD players (Master & Slave on an ide
cable) and playback is monstrously distorted.. And I don't appear to be
able to set the audio-cd-device in the xine parameters...
I've opened KMix, the only controls which appears to affect Kaffeine
playback is PCM & Master- the CD control seems to have no effect.
Rythmn box used to see both, now it won't even recognise a disc.... But
will play one of the radio channels without distortion. Aaaah---muted
the mic in Kmix & distortion has vanished!
Alsamixer either does nothing (stat up), or takes 100% CPU cycles if I
click on anything,
I tried to yumex the xine -lib-extras-freeworld & keep getting
Missing Dependency: xine-lib(plugin-abi) = 1.24 is needed by package
xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.15-4.fc10.i386 (rpmfusion-free)
Thought that maybe removing xine-lib & letting extras pull it in fresh
might help.. but taking off xine-lib wants to take out most of kde... so
didn't do that!!
Tried to play a commercial DVD; Dragon says it doesn't have the right
plugins ( in extras-freeworld??). Other players "sometimes they sits &
thinks, sometimes they just sits"
Tried to run Skype... Berfore I got the webcam to work, I had sound.
Now I have video, I only (most times) only have incoming sound. I'm
offered as sound input
Default Device
SiS S17012 ( hwSI7012,0)
SiS S17012 ( hwSI7012,1)
SiS S17012 ( plughwSI7012,0)
SiS S17012 ( plughwSI7012,1)
2 connections for the mic on the Webcam,
HDMI
Pulse
"Test sound" produces nothing, "Test call" gives me the Skype sounds but
nothing back from my voice.....
Does anyone know of a way to check what's what? Can I (should I)
disable various "layers" of SW ?
What's the difference between the hw 0 & 1 in Skype; between hw &
plughw; why does KMix offer me mic1 & mic2; what does the "capture" do
in kmix?
HEEEeeeeeeelp! Please!!

Unable to upgrade from FC9 to FC10
by James Allsopp
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from FC9 to FC10 using yum,
I've checked for any rpmnew packages,
I've removed most orphans.
Switched selinux to disabled/permissive
Updated fedora-release using
rpm -Uhv
ftp://download.fedora.redhat/com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-*noarch.rpm
yum repolist show fedora, livna, rpm fusion and updates all showing
fedora 10
cat /etc/fedora-release shows Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)
but when I hit
yum upgrade
It says the system is up to date, but a uname -r shows it's using
2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers

Fedora 10 installation without media: checksums

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Pardon me if I am blind, but I am trying to install Fedora 10 without
media:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/ap-medialess-instal...
and can't find the checksums for vmlinuz and initrd.img.
They are available somewhere, aren't they? I mean as files to download,
not as mathematical objects. :-)
