Please, help me with at76c503a and recent Linux packages...
by Rui Miguel Silva Seabra
Hi,
I've been making RPMS for my machine of at76c503a and have recently
sent upstream a patch for rpm making.
However, I have a huge problem that's bound to get worse without help,
and I know little of kernel module building to understand the problem.
I'm running Fedora Core (from the development rawhide tree), so this
problem will be happening on FC4... quite likely.
When I load the module with Linux 2.6.10-1.1090_FC4, I see the
following:
Feb 4 21:37:21 roque kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
Feb 4 21:37:22 roque modprobe: WARNING: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.1090_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/at76c503/at76_usbdfu.ko': No such file or directory

Ah... I forgot to rebuild with lower kernel again... so I disconnect,
rebuild for the older Linux again, and put it in again:
Feb 4 21:37:28 roque kernel: usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 2
Feb 4 21:38:23 roque kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3

So you see, it _is_bad_ but I can't find a way to solve this...
Any help?

As a regular user who is stuck with one of those onboard soundcards that
is quite capable *except* for the seeming lack of hardware mixing, I
would be extremely happy to see someone focusing on this. A complication
that I have is the need to run programs that are OSS only (Teamspeak2
and Quake3 to be specific) and the OSS emulation via ALSA seems to add
an extra wrinkle into getting any sort of software mixing (particularly
sound capture) working properly. I have played around with
arts/esound/.asound with no success.
One project that I noticed recently is oss2jack that I thought might
solve my problem by plugging OSS directly into JACK instead of the OSS
emulation in ALSA. I would hate to have to wedge this stuff into my
configuration every single kernel update though (I have recently given
up running on the GATOS treadmill to keep my ATI AIW TV tuner
working ... I am crossing my fingers to see some of that stuff natively
in Xorg) and I sense that the chance of any of these thing making it
upstream are slim especially without someone knowledgeable of such
things (read "not me") pushing it along.
Anyways, JACK seems to list ALSA as a supportee. Maybe the OSS emulation
in ALSA could be modified to run more smoothly with JACK/dmix/etc. and
let ALSA figure out if there is a hardware mixer available or not.
Hoping that OSS applications go away is not the way to go.
Linux falling on its face due to sound hardware contention is one of the
last embarrassments left when I am trying to sell Linux as a true
Windows replacement to friends and family.

Firefox not starting properly
by Rodd Clarkson
Firefox is not starting properly for me since updating (almost
completely - control-center has a conflict so wont install) to the
current development rpms
When I try to run firefox I get nothing on the screen.
A look at 'ps ax | grep firefox' shows:
[rodd@trevally ~]$ ps ax | grep firefox
3394 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox -UILocale en-US
3415 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin -UILocale en-US
3420 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin -UILocale en-US
3523 pts/2 R+ 0:00 grep firefox
[rodd@trevally ~]$
I can kill these processes, but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?

New kernels: xen config breaking rpmbuild --target noarch?
by Axel Thimm
Hi,
the new kernels have xen configs (nice :), but rpmbuild -bp --target
noarch breaks on FC2. Since there are noarch builds published for FC2,
I guess that maybe something is different in Dave's build environment?
Error is below.
Thanks.

Including udftools
by Matthias Saou
Hi,
I just received this email about udftools :
--
Hi Matthias,
At least the listinfo/mailman page says that's what your name is. ;-) I'm
not
a list subscriber, but I am also interested in seeing udftools get
packaged
for Fedora. As of kernel version 2.6.10 there is a new module called
pktcdvd
which supports packet writing(udf) to CD-RW media. I believe that is what
Jon Roland is referring to in his post:
http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2005-January/012130.html
As it happens I have been trying to learn how to build rpms from scratch
and
this seemed(at first glance) to be a simple enough one to start with.
Since
I had already built the package from the source tarball with the patch from
Peter Osterlund's website:
http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/packet.html
I decided to try and package it myself. The attached files contain the
results of the first build that I've gotten to run to completion. It
hasn't
been tested yet and I'm sure the spec file needs work. I cobbled it(the
spec
file) together from an old Red Hat contrib package and a current Mandrake
package. But, if you think others might be interested, please pass it
along.
Thank you,
John Treacy
--
So I was wondering... should udftools go into Extras, or into Core? Since
support for packet writing has been included in the kernel, I'd favour Core
(and this is why I'm posting here).
Oh, and I've even found some old udftools packages made by someone @rh :

Hmm...you're probably mostly right about this. The Python app would get
some gain from background daemons and X traffic migrating to the other
processor, though.
