gnucash not working
by Roger Grosswiler
hi guys,
gnucash won't start after launch. Launching it from shell gives the
following:
[root@neo roger]# gnucash
ERROR: In procedure open-file:
ERROR: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/umb-scheme/slib/printf"
Any idea for a quick-fix?

Error Transfering Install Image
by Dan Taylor
....first time posting so bear with me on this....
Today I tried installing test 1 on my test box and had a few issues.
The installation went as good as can be expected of a test release up
until the message "Transfering Install Image to Hard Disk" came up. The
progress bar would reach about 80% and hang, then a dialog would appear
saying that I may be out of disk space, which is definitly not the problem.
System specs are:
Pentium II 233MHz
Asus P2L97 Motherboard
256 MB PC133 SDRAM (crucial)
60 GB Maxtor HDD
I am unable to test the release if I cannot get it installed and I would
really like to be an active contributer to this group.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem. Thanks in advance for any
help you might be able to give me.

make cannot find kernel sources (FC4test1)
by J Z
I'm trying to install ndiswrapper for my wireless, and when I issue the make command, I get the following output:
Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1177_FC4/build;
give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make
Where are the kernel sources I'm supposed to give to the make command as? I tried downloading the kernel source rpm and unpacking it to that directory, but that didn't do it, and google turned up inconclusive. Thanks very much.

eclipse FC4-test1 rpms on FC3
by Benjamin De Kosnik
Call me crazy! Go ahead, do it....
Yeah, I want to run the brand-spanking new eclipse RPMS on nice and
stable FC3. Hell, the rpm tags seem to indicate this is possible.
However, when I go to install the nicely packaged
eclipse-cdt-2.02.fc3.rpm , I get an unsatisfied dep, on
eclipse-ui
However, I don't see that package.
Thoughts?

Installing FC4 Test 1 - Vmware Workstation v4.5 on WinXP
by Jerry Babcock
To all, with a lot of help from the user community I was able to
successfully install FC4 Test 1 using Vmware Workstation v4.5. Listed
below are the steps I did to make it successful.
FYI - The two sources of information that helped me the most were:
keithmo's blog - http://kerneltrap.org/node/4030
Woodys post at -
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=8923&tstart=0
Host Configuration:
* Custom AMD Workstation
* 512MB RAM
* 80GB Internal HD
* Windows XP Home with all updates
* VMware 4.5.2 build-8848
Guest Configuration:
* Fedora Core 4 Test 1 (downloaded .iso files)
* 256MB RAM
* /boot # about 250 Mbyte
*/swap # about 2* your memory size
*/ # whatever space you have left on your disk
Installation:
* Graphical install seems to work OK – no need for "retro" text-mode install.
* Avoid the CD verification step.
* Install as usual; shuffle disks and finish the installation.
* Boot – runlevel 3
* Login as root.
* Disable the following services for runlevel 5.
#ntsysv --level 5

I have written a script for doing this on Mandrake 10.1 and Fedora
Core 3 (both using Xorg).
I have not tested on SuSE 9.2 but this should get the job done.
# Backup, backup, backup!
Snapshot -> Save Snapshot
VM -> Install VMWare Tools
# In the virtual machine:
cd /root
wget http://woody.linif.org/vmconffix.sh
chmod a+x vmconffix.sh
# Will be /media/cdrom on Fedora Core 3
mount /mnt/cdrom
cd /tmp
tar xzf /mnt/cdrom/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
umount /mnt/cdrom
cd vmware-tools-distrib
/root/vmconffix.sh /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
# Done!
# To reconfigure vmware tools, run:
/root/vmconffix.sh /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
The script is straight forward and commented.
The issue is that vmware-config-tools.pl gets the X version by first running:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -version
and it expects a response similar to:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1
Xorg instead has:
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg
and returns:
Release Date: 18 December 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
The config file for Xorg and Xfree86 4.3 are the same format but a
different name and as
such we set an enviroment variable to tell vmware what file to modify.
As always, use at your own risk and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS backup
first (snapshot!). Hope this helps,
Woody

Okay. Well, it now seems like a hardware problem, because I just ran
memtest on it, and halfway throughout the memtest the screen blanked
(standby). I'm not sure how memtest works, but I think it's not supposed
to do that. That implies it's a hardware problem.
So, I replaced one memory chip, and it appeared to work. Gnome-terminal
no longer crashed it, and I could play unreal... I was just getting
pretty excited about finding the problem, and then it crashed again in
unreal (nvidia.ko driver, obviously) (random garbage on screen).
Replacing the other memory chip makes it crash too. So, it's a hardware
problem; it's not the memory, though removing one memory chip gets rid
of my problems with gnome-terminal (why?).
It could be overheating, even though I have some ridiculous number of
fans in, and the case was open when it last crashed. Maybe the video
card's just broken - I've gotten it to come slightly out of the PCI
slot, and reboot the computer a few times before, which can't be good
for the card (it's not my fault - I can't screw the card in, because of
Thermaltake's flawed design).
How to proceed...
I am back on the nv.ko driver, I turned on the RENDER extension, since
it seems to make no difference. I've removed my newer memory chip, which
I just got recently. I will see if I can get it to crash with the nv
driver and my old memory setup. I'll also do a memtest, hoping to get it
to completion on each memory chip. I'll take my video card w/ me over
Spring Break to see if I can get it to crash on a Windows system.
Other recommendations?
---------------------
I have another question. This has bothered me for a very long time, but
I've never reported it to LKML, since I assumed it was hardware
problems. I have wireless Logitech peripherals (both kb and mouse).
They're controlled by a usb receiver. After a forced reboot, they fail
to work every time. I can't even type my on-boot password at the boot
screen. If I turn off the computer, they still don't work after turning
it back on. I need to unplug the power cord, wait 5 secs, and plug in
back in, and it's fixed. Any idea why that would happen? It's so
annoying...
