1:58 p.m.
I installed smart, and done a smart upgrade. It downloaded all of the
files and installed up to gnome-games and locked up on me. After restart
I get:
"error: 'rpm' python module is not available"
Now I cannot use Yum, Smart and Up2date.
Any suggestions?

Hi...
In my Fedora Core 4 setup (256 MB RAM, 2.4 ghz Celeron processor,
whitebox PC), for some reason, the sound in Rhythmbox keeps skipping
(as
if it were being fast-forwarded through the track) when I either
launch
some programs (even the terminal) or when I do something such as
fetch
email from the server with Evolution.
Another one here: I've got exactly the same problem on a laptop using
the snd_intel8x0 driver. First I thought it was about Rhythmbox not
processing the cpu speed changes (speedstep) correctly, but since then
I've found out it happens without speed changes too.
I think you're right it's when the CPU load spikes.
It's happening in XMMS too, but with different results (sound goes
silent).
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this; any suggestions?
My current guess is it's a bug in the sound driver.
Please post your sound card details (and lsmod output, I'm interested
which driver you use).

Just a guess, but in your original message, you put
>>>> 'cp .config SOURCES/kernel-2.6.12-i686.config'
which indicates you were using the i686 non-SMP config file,
but your error output suggests you were building an SMP version of a
kernel rpm.
Perhaps you should have started with the SMP config file,
kernel-2.6.12-i686-smp.config
I didn't run into any problems compiling but I turned off building SMP
in the spec file: %define buildsmp 0
I did Kenny.
# Override generic defaults with per-arch defaults
%ifarch noarch
%define builddoc 1
%define buildup 0
%define buildsmp 0
%define all_arch_configs $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/kernel-%{kversion}-*.config
%endif
from the kernel-2.6.spec.

Hi,
I hope this has not been asked recently....
I am having a bit of difficulty installing the kernel source for the
2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 kernel.I need this for the reinstallation of my
nvidia
driver.
I tried to follow the instructions for installing the sources as found
in "http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc3.shtml". Basically
1. rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-1.667.src.rpm
followed by
2.rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
But alas, my nvidia installer is not finding the kernel source tree.
Even when using the --kernel-source-path /usr/src/BUILD/kernel-2.6.12
nvidia installer option, I still get error messages.
If you cannot tell, I kinda have no idea what I am doing :-)
Oh... I cannot find a source rpm via yum, are they no longer available
in the repositories? or am I not looking in the right place (using the
default yum repos...)
Any help would be appreciated.
You don't need the full kernel source to build the nvidia drivers.
# yum install kernel-devel
and then try building your drivers again. That should be sufficient.
Paul.

Of course. The idea is to provide a place to 'find' these sites. So
that in one's spare time one could visit them and surf around in
firefox. The intent is to make firefox (or opera or konquerer or any
other browser) a larger percent of total browser share for that site.
So when the webmaster looks at stats, he will see the need to support
these browsers.
I also am organizing sections on standards compliance, and suggestions
for writing to these webmasters. Links to firefox and opera will be
provided, as well as news regarding developments in browsers.

Yes, I use such kind of a setup with both Proftpd and Pure-FTPd which
makes uploads invisible in the incoming area as soon as the upload
finished. The public area is just download enabled.
Me too (proftpd). I occasionally get files dumped in /incoming but the
poor kiddies can't download it from anywhere :-)
What the OP probably needs to do is:
# chcon -R -t ftpd_anon_rw_t /path/to/upload/directory
(see "man ftpd_selinux").

Put another way, are there any known cases where a packager for a
major
distro or repo has acted with malicious intent? (I'm also
curious
about
this.)
Not that I know of, but I do recall issues with the ftp servers for
major bits of software being compromised and the source code being
tampered with there. That's why it's a good idea always to check GPG
signatures when provided for tarballs you may download.

Hi list,
Once again my FC4 box (Duron 1200mHz, 512 ram) has crawled to a halt.
I quickly top'ed and found a process prelink that varied between
74%-98% CPU usage.
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
5202 root 39 19 11724 9280 536 R 89.9 1.9 0:23.59 prelink
So I googled for prelink and now know that it helps preload libraries
so that progreams can start faster. Which is senseable because the
machine started slowing down when I clicked 'manage bookmarks' in
firefox, which opens another program. My question is, what can I do to
prevent this from happening again? Do I have to ust cross my fingers
every time I open a new program?
Could this be related to the fact that I have no swap partition? I
know that I should probably add one, I guess that I've just been too
lazy to learn how. Will adding a swap partition make the machine less
sluggish? For this 512 ram machine, I was thinking of adding a 2 gig
swap partition.

The error is: "Could not start process POP3."
I think it's probably worth trying a kmail list for this. I don't use
kmail myself so I don't know if this is an underlying issue with your
POP server (which I doubt) or a kmail configuration error.

Yeah, I didn't want to be a jerk about it, but in other OS's,
including FC3, the machine was real snappy. FC4 is by far the most
sluggish OS that I've tried, but as I haven't set up a swap partition,
I did not want to blame FC4 just yet. But I know that a lot of people
complain that is is sluggish.
Side note: what is the general opinion about disabling CUPS, so that
it will not start up when I start the computer? I don't have a
printer, and it also seems like a resource hog.
