Re: Excuse me, but why don't you use Quake 3 Arena
by Jim Martin
Hi Alex,
Sorry, my bad, I meant Quake 3 Arena, and it is the Linux version that I am having problems with, the
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout seems to have worked, but there has to be a better way around this.

Excuse me, but why don't you use Quake 3 Arena...native version for Linux ???
It's fastest than on Windows !!! Try it !!!

few questions: backup, Samba problems.
by Bart Kalita
I finally pluck up the courage to ask few questions:
Is there a backup program that would backup my home folder and evolution
settings?
I'm thinking about testing daily trees via boot.iso and it would be
useful to have a backup. And proper 2.91 is just around a corner and I'm
thinking about a clean install but do not feel like setting up KDE to my
liking again..and again and again.
I want to backup via network to a MS server ( yes, I know )
Since update via Cd's form 2.91 test tree I've lost my mounted drives,
they do not appear in my home folder anymore, connecting from MS
machines is still possible but connection takes quite a long while.
proper listing still appear in the fstab.
after first reboot I had both drives, one from each machine visible and
accessible, then connection to XP SP2 disappeared and soon after a
connection to server 2003.
and finally ... an idea, still in a early stage, call it early alpha,

I have noticed the same thing with Q3 as well as other closed source
programs that I run like TeamSpeak2. The problems started with kernel
2.6.7-1.517 . If I boot to a version earlier than that things work
fine.
I opened a bug on this a while ago. Please let me know what info I can
provide that will help debug this.

The echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout works like a charm though ...
thanks!

how to make a local repository after a yum update?
by Michal Jaegermann
With the old version of yum documentation basically said
"run yum-arch on a directory with rpm packages and you are set".
Now yum-arch is gone (although 'man yum' still tells you to
look at 'man yum-arch',
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131807 )
There is something new in 'yum --help' called "generate-rss" which
may be it. OK, let's try:
# yum -c local.conf generate-rss
Generating RSS File
Setting up Repo: update
repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or
directory: '/mnt/spare/updates/packages/repodata/repomd.xml'
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: update
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from update: [Errno 256] No more
mirrors to try.
Hm, we are just trying to generate that stuff so "No such file or
directory" seems to be about normal. There is somethings which
says "--rss-filename=[path/filename]", which is a bit weird as
it obviously knows what it wants to read, but playing with that
also brings no joy. Touching /mnt/spare/updates/packages/repodata/repomd.xml
results in something even more creative:
//var/cache/yum/update/repomd.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty
Surprise! We are trying to generate it (or something close).
In a total absence of a documentation I am somewhat reluctant
to call that a bug and file in bugzilla. Should I?

Quake3 is not installed with Wine, or Winex, it is a native Linux
installer from Loki I believe, however the instructions I was given did
in deed work, Quake3 now runs with no problems, and for that i say thanks!

newest yum error output needs newlines
by Harry Putnam
My setup:
*--
Software:
Linux kernel 2.6.7-1.517 Architecture i686
Fedora Core release 2.90 (FC3 Test 1)
help
Hardware:
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
cpu MHz : 1993.996
*--
Something in yums error output needs to be run thru and have newlines
added at appropriate places not to mention giving some usefull info.
This monster output from:
yum --obsoletes update
Finall error output is a pain:
1) Its difficult to parse
2) It doesn't really tell you anything

Anyone having trouble printing with gimp using the test release or development tree?
by Jef Spaleta
So im getting around to actually use the gimp for something on the
development box.
And I can't seem to print from the gimp.
I see the printjob in the lpq output as active, but the printer itself
remains idle, and then the printjob appears to be cleanly removed from
the printque.
Now if I print to a ps file from the gimp, and then print that ps file
from ggv printing works as expected.
Anyone else seeing this behavior in the gimp with a box synced against
the development tree?
Anyone seeing any non-printing behavior from other applications?
