em28xx kernel module load fault
by John Pearson
For the first time since installing FC5T3, I loaded TvTime, which reported
no /dev/video and no signal. lsmod shows the the em28xx kernel module is
not loaded. I did:
[root@Gretchen jpearson]# /sbin/modprobe em28xx
FATAL: Error inserting em28xx
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1977_FC5/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
with dmesg showing:

Is there some other information that I need? My search of bugzilla and the

Where and to whom do I need to file a report?

Inclusion of the adutux module?
by Steven Haigh
Hi,
What are the requirements to try and get a module added to the Fedora kernel?
I use a USB device to control relays and detect digital IO on various
equipment and it would be great to see support for these in the kernel -
so I don't have to hack away for hours to get it working.
The driver is based on the lego driver - so I don't see any reasons why it
wouldn't be allowed...
Thoughts?

At the request of the OpenIB maintainers, yes. They're intending to
import it into Extras in the very near future.

Burning ISOs
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
I'm trying to install FC5t3 on another computer, but I can't burn the
ISOs.
I've tried burning from GNOME and using cdrecord, e.g.
cdrecord dev=/dev/hda -eject -v -dao FC-5-Test3-i386-disc1.iso
(I ran this as root as it complained about setpriority when I didn't).
But on the resulting CDs some files can be copied but other's result in
I/O errors. Last time I posted about verifying CDs I was told that this
process was unreliable.
So we have unreliable CD burning and no reliable way to verify them.
And I have a half-installed computer.
Does anyone have any tips for successful burning of ISOs? (I'm burning
from an up-to-date FC5 test installation).
Will CD burning ever "Just Work"?
Yours depressed and surrounded by corrupt CDs,
Leon...

Shutting down with an automounted CD - giving errors
by David Timms
Last few days I have left a CD-RW in my CD drive. When I shutdown, I
notice an extended delay before shutdown (15 secs maybe). I checked the
shutdown log and found errors where umount of the CD is failing.
The disc in question is the Fedora core 5 t 1 disc 1 (i think). The
automount icon on the desktop shows:
FC_5-Test1 i386
The umount error is putting ~ /x040 where the space is in the volume
name. It then repeats this every few seconds until it finally does a
shutdown disks and power off, which works.
Does this occur for anyone else ?
I so, what component do startup/shutdown scripts belong to ?

adding port using system-config-securitylevel
by George Hill
When I run system-config-securitylevel, Firewall
Options tab, open the Other ports section of the
window, and click add, the Add Port window pops up.
The label for the top text box is Port(s) but I am
unable to enter more than one port. I have tried
separating port numbers with commas and spaces. Is
there a way to enter multiple ports here or should the
(s) be dropped? Thanks.

fc5t3 suspend option soft lockup
by Skunk Worx
I have a desktop PC and am trying fc5t3. It's fully yum updated. For
fun, I tried System->Shutdown->Suspend. I get a text screen and :
Stopping tasks :===<3> BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
Pid: 643, comm cx88 tvaudio
(then a register dump i guess...)
I have to reset the PC to get it back up. I guess this is a feature for
laptops or something? Anyway, thought I'd mention it. The box is a mini
PC, IDEQ Biostar 210V.

Samba server configuration program chokes on highly-customized/missing smb.conf
by Dane Mutters
I've been messing with the samba server settings on my FC5T3 box and I've
found that if I have a highly-customized or missing smb.conf, the GUI Samba
configuration tool will fail to open (for a highly-customized smb.conf) or
crash upon adding a share (for a non-existant smb.conf).
I think that a more reasonable behavior would be to have it prompt the user
to overwrite, then if the user agrees, copy
over /usr/share/system-config-samba/smb.conf.template to /etc/samba/smb.conf,
and then act normally.
Also, I've found that even a little customization is lost if I make any
changes at all using the configuration tool. Shouldn't the user be prompted
before overwriting his/her hand-made changes?
What do you all think?

fc5t3+ k3b used CD-RW's fail on erase/rewrite
by David Timms
With relation to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179213
I see the same issue. The CD RW is automounted since it already has data
on it: you want to erase and reuse the disk. The workaround for me is to
manually umount via a terminal: this is not a user thing to be doing.
There used to be a thing called ~"user mount tools" that you could
unmount stuff with, I doesn't seem to be installed / no longer packaged
?. Also there is an options tool for removable media where you could
disable automount - but this is not what you want either.
So the question is where should this issue be addressed ?
- gnome's automount - there is an icon on the desktop, right clicking in
this incarnation (was OK FC4 I think - unmount) provides an eject
option; but this ejects the disc, at which point you can't erase it.
Re-inserting causes the automount. Enough to drive sane people over the
wall ;-)
A solution would be for the automounted CD's context menu to provide an
Unmount command. simple/obvious (if the desktop is visible), does not
require users to do command line hacks.
- k3b - is it up to k3b to forcefully unmount the CD-RW so that erase /
write process can begin (or at least list exactly what is holding it
from unmounting the disk so that erase can start). It probably needs
better interpretation of error codes received to state to user how to
fix the problem, rather than failing (a bad impression). And a button to
instruct k3b to "really" unmount it (no matter what), when the error occurs.
- is it up2 the cdrecord tools to unmount it ?
