deltarpm with old RPM packages
by Paul B Schroeder
Hello all..
We have some RPM packages which have been built on a system with RPM
version 4.4.2.3 and are being installed on F14 based systems with
4.8.1.. We are creating the delta RPM packages on the F14 system with
makedeltarpm 3.6.
So package foo version 1 installs on the F14 systems just fine. But
when running applydeltarpm with the drpm created against foo version 2,
we get "md5 mismatch of result" errors.
I'm guessing this is an issue with the fact that the RPM packages are
being built with an older version of RPM? If that's the case, is there
any way around this problem?
Thanks in advance...Paul...

yum vs. rpm to install occasional products
by Jerry Feldman
I recently installed Oracle-XE using yum --nogpgcheck localinstall
oracle...rpm. No problem except that I screwed up the configuration. My
coworker told me that I should use rpm(8) because the installation
manual specified it rather than yum(8). My question is that is there any
specific advantage using yum(8) over rpm(8).

Pinnacle Studio PCTV USB 2.0 tv tuner , no sound .
by Kostas Sfakiotakis
I have the above named tv tuner card ( which has usb connection ) .
I can tune to any tv channel that i wish but the problem is that
i can´t hear any sound . lsusb would print
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2304:0208 Pinnacle Systems, Inc. Studio PCTV USB2
The output of lsusb -v concerning the above tuner is a bit more
lengthy so i saved it in an Xemacs document and attached it to this
email . The problem with the sound is persistent and it can´t be
resolved by changing the application that am using ( the same problem
exists with both Tv Time and xawtv ) . I was wondering if someone could
give me any pointers on what course to follow in order to find the exact
problem and resolve it .

Dual wireless access points and connection from f14?
by mike cloaked
I have a question for any wireless expert who can help.
At home I have two wireless access points - one upstairs and one
downstairs - to give a good signal anywhere in the house.
What I would like is to have a seamless wireless access from any
laptop whether mine or a visitor with the appropriate encryption
password.
Now my thinking is that using the *same* ssid and encryption protocol
and password for both APs should do the trick nicely - so that is how
I have things set up (with different channel for each AP's output) and
indeed if I power up a laptop running F14 upstairs it connects nicely
with a lovely strong signal - but if I then go downstairs and boot the
same machine then it tries to connect to the upstairs AP despite the
nearest signal about 10 feet away being a great deal stronger! So
the system tries to connect to the last AP it connected to even if a
local signal is stronger - this is illogical behaviour and it is not
clear if NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant is the culprit - or if I am
not supposed to expect things to work that way!
I had a visitor who had a laptop here this weekend - and the same
problem arose - I decided to try to set up two connections in
NetworkManager both with the same ssid and encryption/password but tag
them with the MAC address of each AP - the box steadfastly refused to
reconnect to the nearest (and strongest) AP after having been
connected to the weak one first, and I had to remove the definition
for the weak signal altogether in NM's list of connections, and only
leave the connection tagged with the MAC address of the nearest strong
signal before restarting the NetworkManager service before I could
persuade NM to connect to the near and strong AP!
I don't know if the design of NetworkManager ever considered this
scenario and whether any developer ever put in place code to hook up
to a valid strong signal even if a previously valid signal (which is
currently weaker) still exists - but it seems to me that the decision
logic in NetworkManager is both perverse and flawed?
Anyone help with some knowledge here?
Thanks

These are my opinions:
1) "overlapping AP coverage"
They are on different frequencies - so there is no overlap.
2) recommending a high power AP is not really appropriate (in fact 300
mW may well be illegal in some places) - this more avoids the problem
than addressees the issue.
The discussion is about setting up multiple AP's on same SSID
(roaming) - this is quite common and in broad use in many enterprise
arenas.
