Re: fedora-test-list digest, Vol 1 #571 - 24 msgs

The only thing that happens when I run a depmod is it lists a lot of
things like this:
[root@tuxpenguin bana]# /sbin/depmod nvaudio
# module id=string
# pci module vendor device subvendor subdevice
class class_mask driver_data
# isapnp module cardvendor carddevice driver_data vendor
function ...# usb module match_flags idVendor idProduct
bcdDevice_lo bcdDevice_hi bDeviceClass bDeviceSubClass bDeviceProtocol
bInterfaceClass bInterfaceSubClass bInterfaceProtocol driver_info
# module pattern
# ieee1394 module match_flags vendor_id model_id specifier_id version
# module id
I don't know if that is how I am supposed to use it but If I then run a
modprobe afterwards it gives me the same result.
Any more ideas?

gst-mixer missing ?
by Patrice Dumas
I don't have gst-mixer installed, although it is in the menu.
It seems to me that it should be in gnome-media.
I am missing something ?

Include k3b in Fedora Core 2?
by Michael Opdenacker
Hello,
I'm surprised that k3b did not make its way to Fedora Core 2 test 1. I
know where I can get the rpms from, but I would like it to be shipped in
the FC isos and installed by default.
Contrary to xcdroast and gtoaster, k3b is (at last) a very easy to use
cd burning interface. In addition, it looks very stable and I never had
significant issues with it. In addition, its development team is still
active (I don't see much going on with the other 2).
So, is it too late to add k3b to Fedora Core 2? If there's a lack of
space, I think that k3b deserves to be part of the release more than
xcdroast and gtoaster.
Users would love the change!
What do you think?
Cheers,
Michael.

I had mixed success with sticking stuff in Bugzilla. A problem that was my
fault with turning off cupsd was nailed down efficiently by a RH guy that
way. But some other things just got ignored. It would be better to have a
bug closed as "you're an idiot" than nothing.
I wouldn't necessarily trawl Bugzilla to collect the temperature of Fedora
stability. All large apps have many problems that may only occur with
certain environmental factors. If you look at the canonical list of all
problems under all circumstances you're going to be alarmed be it Fedora or
be it Windows. Generally, people on the list (including me) are telling you
that under normal circumstances Fedora is pretty good.
If this particular thing turns out to be an issue for you, it looks like
running a stock kernel is enough to keep you going.

My advice would be to try to remove X from the equation under 2.4 as
suggested. Then, if your disease is present without X on 2.4, you can test
if 2.6 helped without having to bring up X in 2.6. FWIW the X driver "vesa"
is really very compatible with most everything I ever ran Linux on.
Thinking about what "slow" could mean, I would definitely be looking hard
at /var/log/messages, and also things like /proc/interrupts. ACPI can also
be the problem, try acpi=off on the kernel commandline
in /boot/grub/grub.conf, it can change the way Interrupts are deal with.
You didn't mention if you checked for BIOS updates, too. If the heart fo the
problem is some BIOS messup that can easily go away with an update.

no boot.img boot.iso .. no boot
by Harry Putnam
Has there been a change in whether a `boot.img' is included in FC2
./images?
I don't see it in my recent download of fc2 iso's. Further, the
boot.iso fails to boot for me.
I see some talk in the release notes about the only architecture one
expects this to work is 686. uname reports 686 here.
Are others booting from boot.iso successfully.
Is the boot.img available somewhere?

If you update the kernel with rpm -Uvf or similar, it throws out the old guys
and replaces them with just the new one. If your install the new kernel,
with rpm -i then the old guys are kept. So I'm guessing this time you did
- -Uvf or similar.

RE: conflicting openssl and openssl-devel, using up2date
by Fred New
The problem is that there is no i686 version of the openssl update. If you download something, it is probably the i386 version.

Subject: conflicting openssl and openssl-devel, using up2date
All of the last batch of updates installed except for openssl and the
development package for it.
Both openssl and openssl-devel show up in the applet. Only openssl-devel
shows up in up2date. When you try to install the program, you get the
following error in the dialog box of up2date.
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
openssl-devel-0.9.7a-30 requires openssl = 0.9.7a-30
Please modify your package selections and try again.
No big deal to only need to manually download the openssl package and
development, just a notice of the problem.

Re: First impressions FC2-test1
by Steve Schneider
Just like Patrick, I encountered the same errors, plus some others
documented on this forum, with one additional, which is causing me a
real headache. The SMC 8432 BTA PCI Ethernet NIC isn't being found, so
it's a bit frustrating not being able to connect over the wire. The
machine is a PII-450 with a Soundblaster 16 ISA PNP sound card (CT2940)
which also isn't there. And, of course the CPU freq business. But the
missing NIC is a pain.

Sound & kernel problems
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
rhythmbox won't start (libgstcontrol ain't around anymore for some
reason), system-config-sound is giving python errors (see below) and
kernel-2.6.3-96 doesn't like /dev/psaux, so X won't start as it thinks
the mouse ain't there.
XMMS also throws up the soundcard is blocked after almost every MP3 as
well.
Any ideas on any of them?
