Crossover Office 2.1
by Gerry Tool
I just downloaded Codeweavers Crossover Office 2.1 and installed it on
FC Test3. It seemed to work fine at first, but after a couple of days
(and many updates from rawhide) it now produces an error when I try to
run a windows app. IE 6 will not run after the error, but other apps
do.
"Your system appears to contain a security patch that will cause trouble
when running some programs in CrossOver. To fix the problem, please
consult the online FAQ at ...."
When I consult the FAQ, it says:
==============================
6.1.2.1.6. Will CrossOver work with my security patches? (grsec,
libsafe, etc.)
Sometimes. Many security patches disallow loading executables at certain
locations in the memory map. Some Windows executables are stripped of
their relocation records, thus must be loaded at a specific address in
the memory map.
For this reason, you may experience trouble running certain programs in
CrossOver with security patches enabled. If you are using grsec, please
contact us as we may be able to help you. If you are using the "not
executable stack patch" for Linux, you may disable it for CrossOver by
running the following command:
$ /usr/sbin/chstk -e ~/cxoffice/bin/wineloader
==============================
I do not have a program called /usr/sbin/chstk, and suspect this is not
the solution anyway.
Has anyone else experienced this or had success with CrossOver Office 2.1
on Fedora?
Thanks.

Delayed due to 'Respin'?
by Jeremy
Hey, I'm new to this list. I was excited about downloading Fedora Core 1
today, only to find out that it was delayed due to 'Respin'? What does that
mean? I looked 'respin' up in the dictionary, but didn't fidn anything :p

Yes, .0 sounds like a first release, buggy and low quality. Someone must
tell to Linus that he would have to change 2.6.0 to 2.6.131416.
RH marketing dep must contact with him _soon_.

RealPlayer
by Don R Maxwell
Does anyone have RealPlayer9 running in Fedora? I get the player to
load and display, but it only plays the first two notes of the welcome
sound and the rest is garbled. None of my .mp3 or .ogg files will play.
Specifically, I have RealPlayer9-9.0.7.151-6.i386.rpm installed.
The real goal is not so much playing the .mp3 or .ogg files as much as
to be able to listen to some streaming music.
Any pointers?

[OT] Red Hat Linux Migration
by Xose Vazquez Perez
hi,
As is necessary to register to see this and a lot of people last month
was interested in migration issue, I am going to copy it here:
General information about migration: http://www.redhat.com/solutions/migration/rhl/
--cortamorena--
- FAQs for Red Hat Linux Migration[1] -
With Red Hat Linux 7.x, 8.0 and 9 end of life approaching soon and the
introduction of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and the Fedora Project,
there will also be some significant changes to Red Hat Network for Red
Hat Linux channel subscribers.
We value you as a Red Hat Network and Red Hat Linux customer and would
like to ensure your migration to another Red Hat solution is seamless.
For this reason we've created an FAQ to help you understand the upcoming
changes to your RHN subscription and to help you decide which Red Hat
solution is right for you.
What happened to Red Hat Linux?
Red Hat listened to feedback from our customers and created a product
strategy that supports the needs of enterprises and the Linux and Open
Source community. In the past there was only one Red Hat Linux product
to serve both large customers running mission-critical applications and
individual enthusiasts. In 2002 we created what's now known as Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is designed with an emphasis
on long-term stability, reliability, and scalability. It has a longer
release cycle and product support, and is certified by leading independent
hardware and software vendors.
The Fedora Project was introduced in late 2003. Built for and with the
help of the open source community, the Fedora Project is for developers
and high-tech enthusiasts using Linux in non-critical computing environments,
and for people interested in active participation in the development process.
To learn more about the differences between Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
The Fedora Project and Red Hat Linux, visit the Red Hat Linux Migration
Resource Center[2].
1) Will Red Hat Enterprise Linux be made available on Red Hat Network?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux will be available on RHN. The purchase of any Red Hat
Enterprise Linux subscription includes an RHN Update Entitlement, giving you a
year's access to updates, errata, security patches and new releases via RHN.
2) How can I migrate to Red Hat Enterprise Linux today?
To help alleviate the time and financial investment spent in migrating to
another Red Hat solution, Red Hat will be providing loyal RHN customers
50% off the purchase of up to 10 units of Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS and
ES Basic editions through February 29th, 2004. Customers who take the
opportunity to migrate now will also be able to renew their second year's
subscription at the same price. Third year renewals would take place at
standard price.
For customers looking to purchase these subscriptions with a Red Hat Network
Management Entitlement, these are also available with a 50% discount. You can
only purchase these products at their discounted prices through the RHN
purchase page[3]. If you are interested in purchasing any of the other versions
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or if you would like to purchase in excess of 10
units you can call us at 1-866-273-3428 x 45020.
To learn more about the special pricing exclusively for RHN customers, see below.
3) What happens to my paid RHN subscription if it expires after April 30, 2004,
(the end-of-life date for Red Hat Linux 9)?
Customers whose paid RHN subscription expires after April 30 will receive a
complimentary evaluation ISO and channel access for Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS
[4] for the remainder of their subscription. These customers also have the
opportunity to take advantage of the 50% discount currently available on
migrations to Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES or WS.
4) When will the complimentary evaluation copy of Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS
be available?
The channel will be opened March 1, 2004. Users whose account expires after
April 30, 2004 will be able to access the complimentary evaluation of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux WS from March 1, 2004 until the end of their subscription.
5) What if I would prefer to migrate to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux solution
other than WS?
To better understand the Red Hat Enterprise Linux solution best suited to your
needs, see the Red Hat Migration Center[2].
In addition, Red Hat is offering special pricing on selected Red Hat
Enterprise Linux solutions exclusively for Red Hat Network users. Please see
above (#2).
6) What happens to my Demo Subscription when the channel I am using reaches its
End of Life date?
Demo accounts will continue to have access to the channel until the channel is
taken down.
7) How long will the Red Hat Linux channels be available for downloading errata?
Channels will remain open at least six months past the end-of-life date. For
example, Red Hat Linux 9 users will be able to access errata on RHN until at
least Oct. 31, 2004. However, no new errata will be posted to the channel after
the end-of-life date, April 30, 2004. For this reason, Red Hat recommends you
visit the Red Hat Linux Migration Resource Center[2] to gain a better
understanding of your migration options.
8) If I choose to migrate to the complimentary evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux WS, can I simply upgrade my OS?
Use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux requires a full reinstall from Red Hat Linux.
There are a full set of migration whitepapers and best practices available
for download at the Red Hat Linux Migration Resource Center[2].
9) Will my RHN subscription automatically renew when it expires (as it has in
past years)?
Beginning 11/03/03, Red Hat Network will not be automatically renewing
subscriptions. Customers whose accounts expire on or past this date will be
notified of their migration options via email.
10) What if I would like to purchase a Red Hat Network Entitlement after today?
Red Hat Network will continue to allow customers to purchase RHN Update
Entitlements. However, customers purchasing after 11/03/03 will only receive
a subscription through April 31, 2004 and will not have access to the
complimentary evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS. For this reason, Red
Hat will be lowering the price of these subscriptions to $20. For more
information, see the RHN Purchase Page[3].
12) What do I need to know about the special migration pricing for selected Red
Hat Enterprise Linux solutions?
In addition to the information provided above, there are a few more things we
would like users to know about the discount offerings.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a subscription offering, renewable one year after
date of purchase. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions bought through
this special offering will be purchased at 50% off for the first year, and
will also renew for the second year at 50% off. In the third year the
subscription will resume at standard price.
This special Red Hat Enterprise Linux pricing can only be obtained from Red
Hat Network[3] and is not available through any other channel or purchase method.
On Red Hat Network, we are also offering an additional special feature.
Customers purchasing Red Hat Enterprise Linux will also be able to purchase RHN
Management Entitlements[3] bundled with RHEL for 50% off. These offerings can be
found on the Buy Now page[3].
RHN customers requiring more than 10 Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions can
visit the Red Hat Linux Migration Resource Center for information on how to
reach a Red Hat representative in your area.
If you have further questions or feedback, please contact us[5].

xfree86 issues
by Chris Locke
I'm having problems with XF86. It will not let me run a resolution
higher than 1024x768. I have a 19inch monitor so it is rather ugly. I
have tried using different combination of drivers for both monitor or
video card and nothing works. This system dual boots between redhat 9
and fedora and under redhat 9 I can run 1600x1200 no problem. I tried
editing the XF86Config file by hand to give it the same settings as my
redhat install but it still goes back to 1024x768. Anyone else have this
problem or know of a resolution for it?
thanks

command line network bandwidth tool?
by nosp
Anyone recommend a command-line network bandwidth tool they use on
fedora? I'm talking about something to show MB/sec across the local
machine's network interface(s), and perhaps more (breakdown by protocol,
etc.). I can't find any pre-packaged ones in fedora (bad search
criteria?) but have seen ntop, ipband, and iptraf mentioned on the
web...
Thanks
