AMD64 (Athlon 64) support? "Fedora 64"?
by Stephen Varga
Hello all. I have just looked at the rawhide x86_64-fedora tree and saw that
the x86_64_kernel is pretty dated. I am running a VIA K8T800 chipset with
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and 1 gig of ram. I was going to net install using that
bootable .iso but I am concerned about that fedora kernel being from April
2003 (most all other packages are from Nov27th 2003). Are there any plans
for Fedora Core 64, is there a wait until the 2.6 kernel makes it out
(hopefully this month).. Any feedback would be appreciated. btw: Fedora's
desktop is the best that I have used. Looking forward working with this
project. My 32 bit machine is happily running Fedora with no problems.

error loading shared libraries
by Prashant Jaikumar
Hi all,
I am unable to boot into fedora. The mount command seg faults and I get a
lot of garbled output while booting. I get the error "error while loading
shared libraries" when I chroot to my fedora partition. Only programs compiled
dynamically (gcc -shared) give a seg fault.
The same problem occurs even after reinstalling fedora. Windoze XP and
Mandrake 9.1 are working fine on the same machine.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
prashant

Re: mount the USB device (was: Black Friday fun with Fedora)

This only applies to some USB devices - namely, those which use the USB
Mass Storage driver. Many (though not all) still digital cameras store
photographs as standard image files (JPEG, TIFF, etc.) and appear as an
external hard drive when you plug them in. You can browse, move, and
delete the images through the computer's normal file manager, whether it's
the command line, Nautilus, Konqueror, Explorer or Finder.
For scanners (either USB or SCSI), you should install the SANE packages
(sane-frontends, sane-backends, xsane, xsane-gimp) included in Fedora
Core. You may want to check to see if SANE supports your particular
scanner, though.
I'm not familiar enough with video cameras to answer that part.

Re: Cedilla Problem!
by listas@lozano.eti.br
Hi,
I use pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 as default on RHL9 nd FC1 with no problems. In fact,
many apps (specialy console ones and Acrobat Reader) only work correctly with
this, not with UTF-8.
It looks like many message files for GNU gettext (or similar ones) were not
updated for UTF-8.

export CC=gcc322
by William Penton
I know before I compile anything I know I have to type 'export
CC=gcc322'
My question is: Do I have to type it every time I need to compile
something?

RE: Installer exits abnormally
by Neumann, Shannon M
Yeah, I realize that I didn't really give a whole lot of information...
I was hoping that there was some common cause of this. Anyway, the only
thing I can think of is that the monitor I have hooked to it can only do
800x600, which also caused me problems trying to run knoppix. Other
than that, the only really different thing is that it is a PII 450MHz,
and the others were PIII. I think I'll try using a different monitor
tonight and see how that goes.

What is different about that machine? You have given us no detail at
all.
"It doesn't work" is clearly not enough with which to try a diagnosis.

some gnome-issues
by Tim Kossack
hi,
1. how can i change the default browser of evolution (mozilla) to
epiphany, so that links in mails will get openend via epiphany?
2. how can i (or can i at all) change the icons of all files of same
sort (like folders, mp3s etc.) without having to change the whole
icon-theme?
3. when i copy files from win-pcs over the network via smb:/// in
nautilus, copying works, but at the end a pop-up screen appears saying
"you don't have the permission to change the file or it's parent
directory" which is kind of funny because i just _copied_ it. after
clicking "abort", the file nevertheless won't get deleted on my pc and
seems to work well. i never had those problems in rh8 or rh9, so this is
a bug, right?!
4. does someone know if there's anything in dev. so that you finally can
stream from smb-shares via nautilus?
5. i tried to install the svg-themes over from
http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/download/
seemed to compile and install fine (i installed both
packages-"librsvg-2.4 and "gnome-themes-extras-0.4" following the resp.
install-instructions, i.e. running "configure" before), now what...?
i mean, do those extra themes are supposed to show up in the regular
theme-manager (which, in my case, they do not!), or do i have to do
somehow manually use them-would be nice if someone could fill me in!
also, afaik, there are currently no rpms of these themes for fc1, so it
would be cool (because some of the themes look really awesome imo) if
one of the rep.-maintainers could make one.
as always,
thx for any help!

overwriting with Rpms
by Blaine Gordon
This should be an easy one. I want to install an RPM for Mozilla to
update it. If I try I get a message that it conflicts with the current
version. Is there a command which overwrites the current version using
RPM's?
