truncated cmdline
by Harry Putnam
My setup:
*--
Software:
Linux kernel 2.6.8-1.538 Architecture i686
Fedora Core release 2.90 (FC3 Test 1)
Hardware:
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
cpu MHz : 1994.464
*--
Running only partially updated, I have a problem where when using
xterm or konsole terminals in X I see the cmdline reformated as I type
by the insertion of newline.
It can happen at way to early a stage, like after only 8 char are
typed.
I remember this coming up here some time ago and I think whatever pkg
was responsible was updated. But I don't want to run a full update
just now on this particular machine.
Wondering if anyone recognizes the problem and knows which pkg is
responsible for it?

Evolution and https
by Mike Chambers
Not sure if this is an Evolution problem, or gnome/system problem. But
when there is a link with https, it won't trigger any programs (In my
case, firefox or mozilla). And I don't see a program any longer that
allows me to add an extension or prefix or whatever to let https open in
a program.

Sound has disappeared
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've just done the first update since Saturday and have found that I
have no sound whatsoever.
Running system-config-soundcard gives me this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/system-config-soundcard.py",
line 46, in ?
app = soundcard.childWindow()
File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcard.py", line 87, in
__init__
self.device, self.module, self.maker, self.model =
self.soundcardBackend.getData(card)
File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcardBackend.py", line
98, in getData
maker, model = string.split(description, "|")
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size
/etc/modprobe.conf looks fine
The gnome volume controller is reporting that no sound cards can be
found.
I have an Audigy soundblaster and intel i810. Both of which worked last
week, but not currently.
Anyone else having problems?
/dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 exist. They're not symlinked to anything
and /sbin/lsmod is showing that snd_intel8x0 and snd_emu10k1 are both
loaded and happy. The cards are showing up using /sbin/lspci

kernel 541 ext3 errors: Unknown symbol journal_force_commit
by Marcos A. Mondragon
Hello,
I've been getting these sort of errors for all of the recent FC3 test1/2
kernels. I can get around it by compiling ext3 and jbd into the kernel
but I would think that this should work as a module. I've tried using
the --with=jbd when building the initrd image but I still haven't been
able to get it to work. I'm looking for a clue here (be nice).
My machine spec's are:
MSI K8N Neo
nforce3-250 chipset
AMD64 CPU
1 GB RAM
SATA Drive
Here's a snippet of the capture from the Serial Console:

[logwatch Q] Any alternatives
by Harry Putnam
Group,
I'm looking for something similar to logwatch that allows a little
more configuration. Something that allows the user to adjust what is
seen as needing reporting.
Maybe I just don't know how to setup logwatch
Logwatch has levels one can set but near as I can tell, there is no
way to alter what is scooped up in a given level. If that really
cannot be adjusted then I'd like to find something else.

NTFS module
by Jason Dravet
I am using the latest rawhide. There is no kernel source code in the
rawhide directory. How can I get NTFS read access into my kernel? Before
people jump on me and say download it from
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/index.html, they are no longer
maintaining the website. The last FC3 NTFS module they have posted is for
2.6.7-1.478. The kernel in rawhide is 2.6.8-1.451. I don't want to
recompile my whole kernel just for ntfs support.
I was able to just compile the NTFS module and load it myself. I changed
the .config to include ntfs as a module, then I used the make modules
SUBDIRS=fs/ntfs command and it compiled the module, I made a directory for
the ko and copied it there, did a depmod -a and then I could mount my ntfs
partition. The kernel changed from using SUBDIRS= to O= and this broke. So
how can I compile just the NTFS module without recompiling the whole kernel?
Thanks,
Jason
