Re: cannot get Modem Lights to make or break dialup connection-correction

I've tried pretty much everything I can think of and nothing is doing
the trick. Is there any way to make the Modem Lights applet actually
DO something to establish and/or terminate my dialup connection?
It's nice to be able to see something on the taskbar, not buried under
other windows like the kPPP does, but it would be much nicer if I
could get the Modem Lights to work as it looks like it should.

I just asked this about a week ago and the answer that was given to me
was to ask if I was using the ISP account name instead of ppp0 after
ifup and ifdown in the Modem lights preferences. I wasn't and it now
works fine after making that change.
(By ISP account name I mean the name I gave to account when configured)

CUPS Problem
by Paul Dubinsky
Howdy, Folks
Happy New Year.
I'm trying to setup a JetDirect queue on FC1 and I keep getting an error
when the CUPS system tries to create the queue. Everything goes fine until
I try to print a test page. Then I get the following error msg:
Cannot write queues
sh: line 1: /usr/bin/lpr - no such file or directory
/usr/bin/lpr links to /etc/alternatives/print which links to
/usr/bin/lpr.LPRng which doesn't exist.
This FC1 was installed as an upgrade of an existing installation of RHL7.3.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do next?
TIA,
Paul

Re: wireless help newbie
by George Bennett
Jon...Thanks for your efforts. I followed your instructions and got the green light on the MA401 card to stay lit (solid green). However, I am still unable to get onto the internet or to get email.
It network configuration it now reads:
1. Device Tab
status: active
device: eth1 (this is my netgear ma401 wireless pcmcia card)
nickname: eth1
type: ethernet (Question: should this say wireless? )
when I double click on it I get the following:
1a. general tab
nickname: eth1
activate device when compute starts (yes)
allow all users to enable and disable (yes)
automatically obtain IP address settings with: DHCP
dhcp settings, hostame: blank
automatically obtain dns info from provider (unchecked)
statically set IP addresses: unchecked
1b. route tab
destination network: blank
prefix(netmask�9: blank
gateway: blank
1c. hardware device tab
hardware: eth1
device alias number: checked as 1
bind to mac address checked as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (matches my card)
2. Hardware Tab (back to main networkcoinfig screen)
Description: orinoco_cs
type: wireless
device: eth1
status: system
when I double click I get the following
2a. adapter: orinoco_cs (greyed out)
device: eth1
resource
irq: unknown
mem: blank
io: blank
io1: blank
io2: blank
dma0: blank
dma1: blank
3. DNS tab (bacl at main netwok config scren)
hostname: localhost.localdomain
primary dns: blank
secondary dns: blank
teritary dns: blank
dns search path: blank
4. hosts tab (back at main network config screen)
IP: blank
name: blank
aliases: blank
again, the green light on the card is lit, but still no internet connection. Also, while I am still a newbie, I wonder if the setting as ethernet type (on the main network config screen) is correct. Should it say wireless? Since the way it is now, I cannot get any screen to enter a SSID, key etc (though I turned off security on my router/gateway as you asked).
Any help anyone could add would be greatly appreciated. I truly dislike M$ and this is the last step for me to get a clean getaway from Gates and company.
Thanks in advance

I have a Netgear MA401, and Dell Inspiron 2650.
Everything works fine in my configuration, and everything was
auto-detected and set up. The MA401 is a regular (read: common) Prism 2
card, and so you should use the orinoco and orinoco_cs driver.
First of all, remove the card. Then insert it. If you get a high pitched
beep followed by a low one, then the OS is saying "I've seen a card had
been inserted, but don't know what to do". This usually means the driver
module isn't being loaded, or something goes wrong just after the driver
is loaded. However, if you get two high-pitched beeps, then the card is
being initialised and the driver is loaded okay.
If the driver isn't being loaded, open a terminal, and:
# su (root password here)
# /sbin/lsmod | grep "orinoco"
if this gives no output, then you need to load your driver manually.
# /sbin/modprobe orinoco
# /sbin/modprobe orinoco_cs
You should possibly now hear the high-pitched beep (I'm unsure on this one).
Okay, now we can assume your card is working and the driver is loaded.
On my card, the green LED on the card is steadily on.
Now, you need to start the interface to the network. I like to use the
provided redhat-config-network tool (Menu > System Settings > Network)
to set up my card. I also recommend setting the connection type to Auto
rather than Managed or Ad-hoc, because it means it figures it all out
itself.
Once you have configured the network, use the GUI to activate the
interface, or:
# /sbin/ifup ethX
Where X is the number of the interface (its eth1 on my box). After this
you should be good to go. If it still fails, it's likely you have a
problem with your router or suchlike.
Kindest regards,

RE: Kernel 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl and NVIDIA driver 5328
by Lance.Spence@cox.com
I was wanting to just take advantage of the new driver under the 2135 kernel. I suppose then that 4496 works under the 2135 kernel?

sorry for answering with question - but why do you need 5328?
this discussion thread will help you further:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22574
anyway - i suggest, that you use public beta (4620) instead of 5328

Brian,
Yes, you most certainly can. As I stated, it is just an [another]

Fedora stability
by Mark Haney
Okay, kind of a stupid and maybe useless question, but as I"ve been really
tinkering with (gasp!) SUSE, I'm kind of wondering how stable FC1 really
is? I mean I realize there are issues, otherwise this list wouldn't be
very useful, but how well does it work as a Workstation (not server) as
compared with any other distros especially RH9?
