up2date not installing kernel
by Noah
up2date agent 4.3.19
Well I am not exactly sure what to do here.
I am finding that I am out of sync with the latest kernel release of 2.6.9 .
When I run up2date GUI interface and choose the kernel file and install I find
that it crashes during the install process. I have no clue why or what to do
about this. it was supposed to install both kernel's smp and non-smp last
time I ran the Program but it installed neither. now I am not sure where to
go from here.
output information:
--- snip ---
The following Packages were marked to be skipped by your configuration:
Name Version Rel Reason

kernel 2.6.9 1.3_FC2Pkg name/pattern

Re: Re: List etiquette question

Very interesting discussion, but starting to drag on. If you don't want to read/reply/help someone who doesn't post the way you like, okay fine. If you want to post your own way regardless of what others prefer, do so and realize you may be shooting yourself in the foot.
I would like to suggest to the list that this thread be closed, it's clogging my inbox and off-topic of the list, which is fedora, not list-posting-101-etiqette. Thanks,

up2date as front-end for yum
by Timothy Murphy
I saw that Fedora tracker <http://www.fedoratracker.org> says that
up2date can be used as a "frontend" to yum.
How, exactly, does one do that?
Please assume you are speaking to an up2date ignoramus.
Which files exactly do I need to edit?

FC3 x86-64 and wifi
by Murray, Paul
I've got a HP nx9005 with athlon 64 processor. It's mostly working with FC3
except that I can't get the wifi to connect. Ndiswrapper won't compile and
says something about it needing to run on a 32-bit architecture. Is there
some way of getting the wifi to work on FC3 x86-64?

As a librarian I found the search terms assigned by people to submit
bugs very peculiar. I did a couple of searches for information on my
sound card problems and came up with some really bizarre results. It
needs what is called in library land a "controlled vocabulary."

The interface is really the problem. It is obviously designed for
people that use it every day, not for those using it occasionally.

k3b and FC
by Bruno Santos
Hello all.
since FC2 ive a little issue regarding k3b.
after a fresh instalation of FC, k3b works fine. when i launch the
program as a normal user, it detects my recording device and everything
is fine.
after some an update, i guess it would be k3b or another package, k3b
stops recording as a normal user, cause i dont detects my recording
device, only as root, i can record.
how can i solve this ?
cheers

problem on fc3 install dell cerc sata raid card/aacraid driver-UPDATED?
by John H.
Ok, we have a dell poweredge 1800. If we do fc3
linux rescue, it sees all the drives as a single raid
container, making /dev/sda correctly display as
220gb.
I can modify, create, delete, mount, and write to
partitions from there. On login to linux rescue, it
says "loading aacraid" which seems to be correct.
HOWEVER, on fc3 actual install, it says, on the consle
portion, loading aacraid, but when it gets to
partition portion, it generally fails(but not always)
on accessing/seeing /dev/sda. It ALWAYS fails when I,
for instance, go to manual partition, (which, since I
partitioned in linux rescue[it would not work through
here], it shows all the partitions correctly), and
tell it a mount point, and do not format, it craps out
saying cannot access /dev/sda or cannot see it, or
input/output error, then reboots.
help? Do i need to provide some parameter on booting
the linux install? I can do EVERYTHING fine with the
partition from linux rescue, what's the deal with the
install?

How use "yum" to install nvidia driver from atrpms?
by Hardy Merrill
I know that atrpms.net has nvidia drivers on their
site:
http://atrpms.net/name/nvidia-graphics/
I'd like to use "yum" to install the the rpms, but I
have a few questions:
I downloaded a yum.conf from the fedora faq, so I
think (can't honestly remember) that atrpms is in
there.
1. How do I use yum to install nvidia rpm's from
atrpms.net?
2. *Which* nvidia rpm('s) do I need from there?
They have
* nvidia-graphics-devel-1.0-3.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
* nvidia-graphics-1.0-3.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
*
nvidia-graphics6629-libs-1.0_6629-61.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
*
nvidia-graphics6629-devel-1.0_6629-61.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
*
nvidia-graphics6629-1.0_6629-61.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
etc. I can't really find any instructions. I'm
not interested in developing anything for it - I just
want to install the driver.
Thanks for any help.
Hardy Merrill

It could be your network drivers. I've found with the BCM5700 based NICs
that the first so many packets disappear into the ether. This usually
results in the first mount not occuring and the later mounts all working
find just as you describe.
