help on fedora
by Ivanca S
Hi!
I am very new in the Linux world.
I have a computer (hard-disk 120 GB). Can I install Fedora 2 on my
computer in parallel with an existing Windows Xp Pro?
And are there tools for web designing in Fedora? I mean the classical
html, php, perl, and flash; ftp uploading files to a web host, and so on?
From where can I download a tutorial for learning - as beginner- Linux?
When I get some experience with Linux, I'll renounce at Win.
Thanks a lot!

FC2, somebody please try these SGI Open Inventor demos
by Michael Schwendt
Hi everyone who runs Fedora Core 2!
Please visit
http://download.fedora.us/pending/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/
and download and install the following packages (or add the directory
to your /etc/yum.conf file). They are signed with the fedora.us key.
Inventor
Inventor-demos
Inventor-data
InventorXt
There may be dependencies on Fedora Core 2, such as the "openmotif"
package, which you may need to install, too.
When done, please run
/usr/lib/Inventor/qmorf.RUNME
or the other demo programs in the /usr/lib/Inventor folder, e.g.
gview.RUNME (which should display a windmill with rotating sails).
What do you get? Do the demos seem to work flawlessly?

New To Linux
by root
Hi all I am new to Linux and am hoping that somebody can help me with what
may be a silly question
I have installed fedora core 2 on an old Pentium P3 pc with 3 hard drives
and 1 DVD-ROM drive and have got it setup fine except that I cannot get into
my second and third HDD’s I can see them in hardware monitor and they are
showing as free space but I just cannot do anything with them – what I want
to do is use them for storage of files to share on a samba server setup i.e.
hda Linux hdb and hdc storage space
Hope this all makes sense if not I will try to give more detail if somebody
responds
Thanks in advance

Kernel Panic
by avhaecke@club-internet.fr
Hi all,
Switching from Fedora kernel 2.6.5-1.358 to 2.6.8-1.521, I get the
following message at the very beginning of the boot sequence :
"Kernel Panic : VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0, 0)"
I rebuilt the kernel and got the same behavior with my new custom
kernel.
To be precise, I use Fedora Core 2 x86_64 on a Shuttle SN95G5 (Athlon 64
3500+ socket 939, nVidia nForce3 Ultra).
If someone with the same hardware architecture got the 2.6.8 to work, I
am interested !
Bye,
Alex Van Haecke
PS : Here is my grub.conf file (I use grub) :
default=2
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

ftp macro
by Tim
On my old Red Hat machine I set up a default log in and a macro to run
when connected. I looked for the old files I used but in FC2 but they
are not there. I did not set up a ftp server on this machine if that
makes a difference. I've done a few searches but can't seem to find
where to set them up, if it's still possible in FC2. Any links would
help.
Thank you
Tim...

FC3T2 I2O support
by Michael Mansour
Hi,
I decided to try the I2O support in FC3T2, since I
currently run FC1 on that machine and trying to
upgrade to FC2 fails on that server, and as I've just
found out, so does FC3T2.
I've read the material on:
http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/fedora.php
and they claim that they do not know of any issues.
The following is my problem, I'll also try joining the
relevant lists they have there, but thought I'd post
it here first in case someone has already experienced
this problem.
I have an Adaptec I2O SCSI RAID Controller
BIOS V001.62 (2002/11/16)
Model 2010S Revision 3B05
32Mb of RAM
Booting the FC3T2 CD, I select to add additional
drivers and select the "I2O block" driver from the
list.
Then when going through the install the following
appears before going to the Disk Druid section:
Bug
Assertion (sectors <= 63) at disk_dos.c:476 in
function probe_partition_for_geom() failed
click Ignore
Bug
Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:471 in
function probe_partition_for_geom() failed
click Ignore
then the install shuts down for reboot.
Any ideas?
Michael.

again.

yes when i installed fedora the drives were all attached and i did let the
installer do all the work i have had a look in /etc/fstab and this is what i
see
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
hope that helps on that piece and also this is what i see in hardware browser
Device Start End Size (MB) Type

echo hangs when trying to set value in /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
by Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
Hi guys,
When I tried to set my cpuspeed manually doing a echo 1599960 >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed, this command just
hangs.
I checked the scaling_governor and it is set to userspace.
I tried that on both 2.6.7 as well 2.6.8.
My computer is a mobile pentium 4 2.8 ht.
I'm using the speedstep-ich scaling_driver.
Am I doing something wrong??
Thanks in advance.

Francisco Figueiredo Jr.

seeking help with postgres installation and use
by John McBride
I have been playing with postgresql at home, working through a book on
general database installation and use. Mostly is is an oracle book, but
much of the book is easily translated to Postgres. This is on a fedora
core 2 linux box, kept fully yum updated.
Here are the packages installed via yum:
$ rpm -qa | grep postgres
postgresql-libs-7.4.2-1
postgresql-server-7.4.2-1
postgresql-test-7.4.2-1
postgresql-7.4.2-1
postgresql-devel-7.4.2-1
Then I enable plpgsql:
$ droplang plpgsql template1
$ createlang plpgsql template1
$ createlang -l template1
Procedural Languages
Name | Trusted?
---------+----------
plpgsql | yes
As user postgres I try and run the tests:
$ pwd
/usr/lib/pgsql/test/regress
$ time ./pg_regress.sh --schedule=parallel_schedule
...
====================================================
6 of 93 tests failed, 1 of these failures ignored.
====================================================
...
$ grep -i FAIL ./regression.out
test create_function_1 ... FAILED
triggers ... FAILED
plpgsql ... failed (ignored)
copy2 ... FAILED
rangefuncs ... FAILED
test stats ... FAILED
Here are some results from the diffs:
$ grep ERROR regression.diffs
ERROR: could not access file "nosuchfile": No such file or directory
! ERROR: Can't find function nosuchsymbol in file
/usr/lib/pgsql/test/regress/regress.so

...
$ grep HINT regression.diffs

...
So I guess I am confused. I thought I added the required language
(plpgsql) properly. Sorry if this is something obvious, I have googled
several times and have not found much help for this.
Perhaps I should be building from source or using the RedHat "rhdb" iso?
Thanks for any hints,
John
