Status 8401 on ethernet
by Ryan Nix
My ethernet card(s) keep hanging on both my Dell C800 and L400 laptops
running the latest Fedora. I get a "status 8401 can't interupt" on
reboot. Both machines have a 3Com 3c59x 10/100 ethernet card.
Anyone else having this problem?

I realize I wasn't clear in my prior post. I can't connect to cups on the
print server at all. That is, I can't print. I was trying to connect to the
web interface to see if the jobs actually got there. ( There's no way to see
that thru printconfig is there? ). The print server can print locally.
In any event, here I have a brand new install, and something is stopping me
from printing on it. So I assume Fedora has some access control I don't know
about. Not iptables - I flushed them ; not hosts.deny - it's blank.
I've assumed - mybe wrongly - that whatever is stopping me from using the
cups web interface is the same thing that's stopping me from printing.
So - I am using printconfig - I'm only using the web interface to try to
figure out what's wrong.
thanks for any help
sean

Cann't connect to cups page
by sean darcy
I've just set up and up2dated a new install on what's meant to be a print
server.
I'm using a cupsd.conf from a working server. It includes:
<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 10.10.8.*
#Encryption Required
</Location>
I've flushed iptables. hosts.deny is blank.
But when I try to connect to :631, I get a connection refused.
Nothing in /var/log/cups/access_log or /var/log/messages.
I can ping and telnet into the server.
What am I doing wrong?
sean

Up2date wants PPC?
by The Matt
I'm having some oddness with up2date and I'm hoping the list can help.
First, there is the fact that rawhide keeps changing according to the
bot that reports here everyday...yet up2date doesn't see any changes.
But, I can forgive that since, perhaps, there is a rawhide freeze in
anticipation of the FC1 release.
But, what's weirder is that up2date keeps grabbing an odd, single
header. If I rm /var/spool/up2date/*, and then run:
# up2date --nox --list
After it runs and tells me no updates, I get this in /var/spool/update:
# ls -ltr /var/spool/up2date/
total 1732
-rw------- 1 root root 10968 Nov 1 11:29 libgnat-3.3.2-1.ppc.hdr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 866916 Nov 1 11:29 fedora-core-1.20031030104054
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 873498 Nov 1 11:29 updates-released.20031030104054
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Nov 1 11:29 updates-released-obsoletes.1000
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Nov 1 11:29 fedora-core-1-obsoletes.1000
Can anyone here tell me why up2date is grabbing the header for PPC
libgnat? I'm running a PIII so I don't think it'll help me very much.
My version is:
up2date-4.1.14-2
Thanks for any help,
Matt

internet not working with arjan's 2.6 testkernels
by Tim Kossack
i'm using the arjan (hope that's spelled right) testkernels with rh9/xd2
on my sony pcg-z600lek notebook, but all kernels newer than
2.6.0-0.test5.1.36 seems to have problems connecting to the
internet. my notebook is connected to a sitecom-router, and in this way
(plus another switch connected to the sitecom-router) also to 6 or 7
windows-pcs. interestingly, i can connect to them via smb/nautilus and
can copy files from them to my pc with the new(est) testkernel running,
but when i want to fetch my mails via evolution or to browse with
galeon, the resp. program tries to connect, but there seems to be simply
no data coming. after a while, in galeon, i get the
"timelimit"-error-message.
note that when booting, i get the green "ok-message" for eth0 and again,
i can copy files from other computers in my network flawlessly...
my notebook's built-in network-adapter is a widely used intel
(pro?)-chipset (sorry for not knowing the exact type, if needed, i'll
try to find out the exact type).
so my question-is this a known thing, and is it fixable from my side-or
a bug in the (newer) kernels?
thanks for any help!

e2fsadm missing
by Peter Boy
I just wanted to benefit from my lvm installation and resize some
partitions. Using e2fsadm it told me "ext2online not found".
Is there any specific reason not to include that tool in fedora?
Otherwise, is it possible to add it?

RE: RHEL 3.0 or Fedora for a 'production environment' ?
by Mike Odegard
Stable releases of Fedora or Red Hat Linux are great for production servers.
The point of RHEL versions are the paid support if you need it.
They are also certified to work with many commercial applications, such
as Oracle, etc.
If you really want paid support, and can afford it, go for the
Enterprise Linux.
However, if you just want community support, and little or no cost, then
stick with Fedora, Red Hat, or other stable releases of Linux.
Note: you can certainly download any software from ftp.redhat.com and
use it, even RHEL SRPM's. You would be on your own to support it.
Why bother, when you can get Fedora or Redhat via ISO images, and get
community support.

problem with up2date
by Mike Lurk
Subject: problem with up2date
From: Hank Maxwell <lhm0155(a)stjoelive.com>
To: fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 22:11:13 -0600
Reply-To: fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com
seems that up2date doesn't like the fact that its release version 1 and
an athlon processor, tells me its an invalid combination and refuses to
allow me to finish registering my system, which of course causes up2date
to remain with that annoying check mark.
__________________________________________________________________
I have the same problem but I don't have an Athlon Processor. It's an
Intel P3 600. This is the error I get when I run up2date:
The applet has been unable to access the following information sources
in its last attempts: fedora-core-1 @
http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1, updates-released @
http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1
Ooops my mistake its the notification tool that has that message, that's
why there is that annoying check mark. Any way to fix that.

so ... how do i get a graphical boot?
by Robert P. J. Day
i realize that the graphical boot has been discussed on numerous
occasions, but frankly, i've never seen one on my system (currently
running FC3). how do i get one? (at the moment, i see the standard
line-oriented boot i've seen for years).
i've verified that /etc/sysconfig/init contains
BOOTUP=color
GRAPHICAL=yes
i've perused /etc/rc.sysinit and the conditions look like they'd be
satisfied. /usr/bin/rhgb is there. the file /proc/cmdline does not
contain the string "nogui". so what am i missing?
i figured it would be nice to see this graphical boot thingie at
least once.
