Almost sure there is a problem with Creative Audigy and x86_64
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
The machine I'm currently on (at work) has an Audigy SB card installed
(as does the box at home). Both machines use the same processor (Sempron
3000+) and mobo (Gigabyte K8NS Pro) and both have FC5t1 on.
s-c-soundcard picks up that there is an onboard sound device (nVidia
based) and the Audigy card. However, I can get no sound what-so-ever out
of the Audigy card irrespective of if I have the Analog/Digital output
jack ticked or unticked, the best I can get is a hiss.
Sound is fine from the nVidia card.
I'm using the 1740_FC5 kernel on both machines.
Does anyone else have an Audigy card and an x86_64 processor and can
identify with this problem?
TTFN

x86_64 + Samsung ML2250 problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Last bit to get sorted on my new box is printing with my ML2250. While
it's not currently part of CUPS, Samsung provided an installer for i386
which worked fine. On the disc is a file called ml2250s2.ppd which I
imported into printconf-gui and then set up the printer as normal.
When I did the test print though, I had a single line of text (saying
something about adobe) and then 2 blank pages, so something is obviously
amiss.
Have I done something wrong or am I missing something? I've looked
around the net for an answer to this.

Kernel 2.6.14-1.1719 to 2.6.14-1.1740
by Matthew Carter
Hi Guy
Currently I have one working kernel on my system 2.6.14-1.1715, on the
other Kernels I get Udev freeze. I added a "set -x" and "echo $1" to
my rc.sysinit to see what was causing the hang. I got this:
+echo floppy
floppy
modprobe floppy
This is when it hangs, my laptop has no floppy or floppy controller.
So i "#" out modprobe floppy from the rc.sysinit script and it got a
little further, but then it froze on:
+echo echi-hcd
ehci+hcd
+modprobe ehci-hcd
Any one else having problems like this? I have been reporting it on
bugzilla (174270) wondered if anyone else had any luck fixing the
issue?
Btw the laptop is a Pentium M, Intel 915 Chipset (Sony S Series
Laptop). Is there anything else I could try?

When I try to install from CD it just hangs at the ISOLINUX loader.

64 bit and installing libraries.
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
One thing I've noticed since the move to 64 bit is that if I compile say
wxWidgets, the libraries generated are installed into /usr/lib rather
than /usr/lib64 (or /usr/local/lib - /usr/local/lib64 if I don't specify
--prefix=/usr).
Is there any harm in this or a way to prevent the libs being placed in
the /lib as opposed to /lib64 directories automagically?

yum stopped at selinux
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
I've just installed FC5T1 and ran "yum update" which stopped at
selinux-policy-targeted saying:
Updating : selinux-policy-targeted #####################
[137/591]
Attempting to install base module '/usr/share/selinux/targeted/base.pp':
Ok: return value of 0.
Committing changes:
libsepol.sepol_genbools_array: boolean allow_postgresql_use_pam no
longer in policy
libsepol.sepol_genbools_array: boolean allow_write_xshm no longer in
policy
:
:
:
If I try to run "yum update" now it stops and lists lots of missing
dependencies.
I presume this is a transient problem with the test packages (i.e. not a
bug) but does anyone know how I can get updates started again? I can't
really do much bug reporting if I can't keep up to date.
Thanks in advance,
Leon...

Re: Kernel 2.6.14-1.1719 to 2.6.14-1.1740
by Matthew Carter
The BIOS doesnt have many options (Sony Bios), had a look for Legacy
USB and there isnt anything there to select.
This is the thing that is so confusing, the launch kernel didnt work
for me but I didnt check why, it just froze at the same place, then i
used 1715 and it worked! But then after that every kernel after has
caused udev to freeze for some bizzar reason, it seems it hits the
floppy initialization. Confusing!

I could reinstall my system but I dont want to dud my FC5 T1 installation

Pup and Pup
by MJang
Folks,
Was looking for the development/home page for Pup, the Package Updater,
and found Pup, the Printer Utility Program for Linux
(http://pup.sourceforge.net), which raises a couple of questions:
1) Where is the home page for Pup, the Package Updater?
2) Will the same names become an issue? (Pup for printers does seem to
be a bit out of date)
Thanks,
Mike

rawhide update report 2005-12-07: success
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
Just synced to today's rawhide and did a kyum update (after removing
dbus-qt yesterday) and have a successful update with *no* dependency
problems. There was an error/warning message from the selinux update
that did not stop the processing.
About to reboot with the new kernel to test the basic functionality.
I did note that the current processing model removes older kernels. This
is a changed sequence, was it noted anywhere that I missed the
announcement?
