Thanks for just the right nudge. This works fine for a USB key. I have
one of those USB 2.0 hard drives, and if I can get time to test it, I'll
post. Netmask, this solved a problem for me, too. Erik

Wireless problem FC1
by Marius Ionescu
Hi.
I have troubles trying to use a wireless PCMCIA card (Alvarion Breezenet
= Orinoco gold) with Fedora Core 1. I am trying to connect to my
university wireless network. Since they use secure connection, I tried
both xsupplicant and a demo version of the Aegis client for linux, It
seems that I can see the network, it reports the link quality, the key,
essid, and both of the programs say that I am authenticated. But when I
try to use dhclient nothing happens and I receive the message: "No
DHCPOFFERS received.No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you,
Marius

usb 2.0 external HD
by acidblue
My usb 2.0 HD is not recognized by FC2 it's listed in info center under
'usb', but not under 'Storage Devices'
How do I mount this HD? Does FC2 have usb 2.0 support? or do I
have to re-config my kernel?
Im using FC2 with the default 2.6.5-358 kernel
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to resolve localhost
by Shawn Kovalchick
I'm trying to set up a postgresql server on FC2, and it seems that the server
is unable to look up 127.0.0.1. Further investigation shows that dig
is unable to return anything for localhost or a reverse lookup for
127.0.0.1. /etc/hosts has an entry for 127.0.0.1 pointing to
localhost and localhost.localdomain. Am I missing something?
Relevant sections of configuration files follow:
/etc/nsswitch.conf contains this line:
hosts: files dns
/etc/hosts contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
I apologize if this has been double posted, it appears that the
initial post didn't take, as I was not yet signed up on the list.

terminal freezes occationally
by Alan Mead
I am using Konsole 1.2.3 on FC1 (KDE 3.1.4-4). I run time consuming
numerical programs on this box and on occation, I find that the
terminal session has frozen. The window itself (e.g., the menu)
still seems to act normally but nothing I do will make the session
echo commands or produce any screen output. The session seems
frozen. I have to exit and start a new session.
This only happens when I leave the window sit idle for a long time
(hours or days; as when I'm waiting for a long running foreground
process run).
Any ideas?

Default FC2 Swap Space
by Mike Witt
My newly installed FC2 systems is running a lot slower than
I expected. I chose the "default" partitioning scheme suggested
during installation. And fdisk now reports this as:
> # fdisk -l
>
> Disk /dev/hda: 41.1 GB, 41174138880 bytes
> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5005 cylinders
> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
>
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
> /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
> /dev/hda2 14 4981 39905460 83 Linux
> /dev/hda3 4982 5005 192780 82 Linux swap
Isn't that around 188 Meg of swap space? My system has 128 Meg of memory,
and in the past I seem to remember allocation about four times as much
swap space as I had physical memory, with better results.
Am I nuts? Does swap space only need to be the size of physical memory?
I don't really understand the issues here. Advice?

FC2: Cannot empty Trash, permission issue
by Ben Tobias
I was attempting to upgrade to FC2 by using ISO's on the hard disk. I
eventually scrapped the idea and was able to boot from CD. I deleted
the folder with the RPM's in it but the user account did not have full
permission to the files in the subdirectories.
Now the situation is, after upgrading to FC2, I have a large number of
files in the user's Trash that cannot be emptied because I do not have
the permission to do so. How do I empty the Trash without permission or
gain permission for the files in the Trash so I can get rid of them?
Sincerely,
Ben

Re: Last upate via yum breaks yum.

There's probably another libxml2mod.so on your path, ahead of the one in /usr/lib (maybe the one that comes with ActiveTcl :-))
Do
ldd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2.py
and check where libxml2mod.so comes from.
If it is not /usr/lib, you've got a problem. One way to fix it is to update the package that's causing you trouble. Another is to add /lib and /usr/lib to the top of /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig (this will complain about duplicate /lib and /usr/lib, and may break that other package) but it will fix yum.

Are you trying to burn cd on a 2.6.8 kernel? If so you have to do this as root.
