FC2 and grip from www.ferdora.us
by Mark Bradbury
Has anyone managed to rip a cd to mp3 on FC2 I installed lame and grip
and xmms-mp3 from www.fedora.us and freshrpms
I can play the cd in grip and I can play other mp3 I've riped before
with xmms. But when I rip a cd with grip it makes the .wav(25M or so)
and .mp3(5 meg or so) files but there is no sound when played with xmms.
Strings on the wave files seems to only show the headers and strings on
the mp3 show a lots of UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU or
555555555555555555555555
anyone done it?

atp870u.o module?
by Sam Varshavchik
One of the servers I have has a SCSI card that's supported by atp870u.o in
kernel 2.4.
I see that the kernel 2.6 source RPM does have the source code for the
driver, but it appears that it does not get built in the binary kernel RPMs.
Looks like that this card is no longer supported.

FC2: VI and cursor key-error
by Götz Reinicke
Hi,
I installed Fedora Core 2 on a server.
Now if I try to edit anything by vi, I can't use my cursorkeys in the
insert mode anymore:
Down = B
Up = A
Left = D
Right = C
This happens by local login and remote login by ssh.
Any Ideas?
Regards.
Götz

FC2 and X session
by Manu Abraham
Hi,
on FC2 logging out of an X seesion gives me a blank monitor. Nothing works
(Ctrl+ Alt+Bkspc), (Ctrl+Alt+F1). I had this problem on Redhat 9/FC1 with a
2.6.x kernel.
This problem appeared i believe in the 2.6.3 kernel. Is there a known fix ?
Is it that i'm only having this problem ?
Regards,
Manu

FC2 automounter differences (hesitant to call them bugs.)
by Greg Lehmann
Scenario is a solaris yp master that serves up yp maps.
PROBLEM 1.
I have direct mounts specified in the auto_master file on solaris as
specified by the first line below. Direct mounts are a sun specific
add-on, and while I am moving away from them, FC1 did not cause me any
trouble. FC2 is trying to do something with them. I think all of my
direct mounts are under /usr and what is now happening is that FC2
automounter is taking over /usr as a mount point and there is basically
an empty /usr because of this. This causes a bit of havoc. Removing the
first line fixes the problem.
Auto_master
#Mount-point Map Mount-options
/- auto_direct -rw,intr
/home auto_home -rw,intr,nobrowse
/data auto_data -rw,intr,nobrowse
/apps auto_apps -rw,intr
/net -hosts
Example line from auto_direct.
/usr/corel server:/export/site/apps/corel
PROBLEM 2.
The nobrowse option causes all the mounts under /data and /apps (as
shown above) to fail. Removing the nobrowse option allows them to work.
Is this the way automount is supposed to work or is it a bug(s) I need
to file?

Re: FC2 install failure with selinux turned on....(Workaround)
by t l
OK. I fixed this: The problem appears that my home directory
(created by 'firstboot') was not correctly labelled.
'fixfiles relabel' seems to have fixed this.
I'm not sure if the fault lies with firstboot or with the
fact that I allocated a partion for /home.
If you run into this situation, reboot single-user and
run 'fixfiles relabel'.

* Subject: FC2 install failure with selinux turned on....
* Date: Thu, 20 May 2004 15:10:20 -0700
I did a fresh SELinux (and 'everything') installation of FC2 (wiping
clean
a previously working copy of FC2T3). That is, I entered 'selinux' at
the installation/boot prompt.
I repartitioned and formatted the drive into /boot, /, /home (all
ext3)
and swap partitons.
I selected 'install everything', and the install and 'firstboot'
appears
to have worked properly. I specified a new user (tbl), NTP etc. when
propted.
When the system 'came up' and I logged in as my 'normal' user, I got
the following error popup:
Your home directory is listed as:
'/home/tbl'
but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the
/ (root) directory as your home directory?
It is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe
session.
So, something didn't setup quite right. (I'll boot single user and
see
if the directory got created and labeled incorrectly)
It then return to the login screen, where I tried to login as root.
This
time I got the following:
The Applet "gnome-settings-daemon" has quit
unexpectedly. You can
inform .....".
Clicking the 'inform developers' button has not no apparent effect.
Anyone see this/have hints?

Yes thats true.
I would like to pull the memory later this PM and replace it one
stick at a time and see what is reported. From my machine at the
office, I know that with 2x500 on the board, you see 1032440 kB
which is only 41Meg from 1 073 741 824 . {of course I could ask
whats it doing with 41Meg...).

Let me rephrase that.
In LINUX, the two SATA disks are referred to as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb .
On the root statement for GRUB the first is referred to as /dev/hd0
I will assume that the root= on the kernel line would want /dev/sda,
but I have yet to change it from the root=LABEL=/1 syntax.
Just 'kinda ugly.
It would be nice if both did or didnot do the SCSI emulation in the
disk names...

Re: dual boot XP / FC2
by Si Jones
Hi All,
Well done to all involved in getting FC2 out, I installed it without a
problem, every cd went through fine.
I can still boot XP without any problems, although I have a SATA drive
on a Silicon Image controller so don't know if that makes a difference.
Overall am impressed with FC2, and I think I will stay on it, the thing
I need to resolve is the sound, my onboard nvidia nforce2 sound dont
seem to have any sound....?
If anyone has any knowledge of this issue then please let me know!
Thanks to everyone again, keep up the good work.
And for the people who just moan on this list -> get a life!!!
