HTTP error 416 with google-chrome and virtualbox repos
by Andre Costa
Hi,
anyone else also experiencing HTTP error 416 with 'google-chrome' and
'virtualbox' repos? Here on my x86_64 F12 yum is choking:
yum info kernel

http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno

Weird thing is that PackageKit is working just fine, no workarounds needed.
Grabbing
http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz with
wget also works, and the file seems to be ok AFAICT.
Is it yum's fault? Repos' fault? Both?
yum version is 3.2.27-2

After removing and re-installing xulrunner (which removed and re-installed firefox again ), I ran firefox from a terminal and got back a little bit more info than before.
firefox
/usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config: line 73: 3364 Segmentation fault $WRAPPER_LIB_DIR/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config -f > /dev/null 2>&1
Couldn't load XPCOM.
the lines near line 73 are:
# Set-up installed plugins
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
$WRAPPER_LIB_DIR/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config -f > /dev/null 2>&1
else
$WRAPPER_LIB_DIR/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config $*
fi
As usual, that doesn't help me at all. Any ideas?

The only add-on is addblock-plus
Since I erased firefox and re-installed it, I am not sure it is still there. Since I can't run firefox, I am not real sure. I looked up the extensions in the profiles in ~/.mozilla and all I see is addblock

I have tried R&I firefox with no success. I will try xulrunner
When I removed xulrunner, Yum removed firefox again so i have to go reinstall it.

well I guess I could quibble that I used the words 'port ...into a
virtual', but that IS really cool: fooling VBox into believing an actual
harddrive partition is a VMDK image! Kudos are due!.
Is the magic posted anywhere? 'Cause there are probably lots of people
who could benefit or who would be interested.

Capturing verbose exit codes
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
Whenever some job is sent to the background and it finishes, it displays
a message on the shell with the exit code. Something like this;
> [1]- Done emacs
> [2]+ Terminated gedit
I understand that I can get the exit code with $? but is there some way
I can get the associated message (Done/Terminated/Sementation Fault...)
with the exit code?
I want to use this in shell function/scripts to notify me whether any of
my submitted jobs succeeded or failed, and if they failed then with what
exit code.
Thanks for any insights.

How to compile kernel module for a new kernel before reboot?
by Andrew Junev
Hello All,
I have a vt6656 WiFi adapter that needs a separate driver to work in
Linux. The driver is neither in "native" Fedora repos, nor in
rpmfusion (at least I don't know how to search for it, so I think it's
not there).
So whenever I do a 'yum update' and get a new kernel, I have to
compile a new kernel module as well. Currently, I first reboot to a
new kernel, then compile a module and then do another reboot just to
check everything is loading properly on bootup.
How do I compile my driver for a new kernel _before_ actually booting
into that new kernel, so that I could be prepared with the new kernel
module already on first reboot?

Login errors after network change
by Kwan Lowe
Hello All:
I just did a Fedora12 Desktop Edition installation to hard drive and an
update. This went smoothly, but I had some errors immediately afterwards.
During the installation I don't recall being prompted for network
configuration. On initial boot, I did the normal configuration such as time
zone and LDAP server setup. Initial login went fine. Because this is a
virtual machine and accessible only via the network, I went ahead and
changed the eth0 configuration to a static IP address via the
system-config-network utility.
That's where the problem started.
After rebooting after updating all packages, I could not login. The system
was attempting to authenticate via the LDAP server but when switching from
DHCP to static it apparently also sets the onboot flag to no in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. Logins, whether local root
or an LDAP user, would take about a minute to timeout before returning to
the login prompt.
To compound the issue, the grub timeout was set to 0 so that I couldn't even
access the grub menu to change the runlevel. I ended up booting the CD image
just to be able to set the NIC to start on boot. (Afterwards I learned about
the SHIFT key override from the "increasing grub timeout?" thread
elsewhere).
No harm done, but I am curious as to the rationale for the interface not
being enabled after reconfiguration from DHCP to static. Did I miss
something in the configuration that would enable it?

From what I have read, you cannot port an existing win instance into a
virtual.
But if you have the kvm modules in your setup (and they should be there
in anything F10 up), then VirtualBox is easy. It installs 2 service
drivers (vboxdrvr and libvirtd). Using the manager you create a disk
space into which you install your Win instance.
Works nicely and easy to handle.
