[OT?} Ogg features and vaporware
by Brian Fahrlander
While XMMS was good, and Rythmnbox brings title/artist management to
the activity, I was wondering if anyone has heard of _real_ tools for
making the most of .ogg files.
In particular, I remember hearing about multi-track abilities, the
ability to encode lyrics and so on. Is anyone really trying to code
that yet, or have I just not been paying attention?
:)
Thanks!

RE: Re: gtk2 updtated -> gnome don't start
by frede@belgacom.net
Logging off and logging back again change nothink! In reality, I must start in innitab level 3 because the graphics loader and the login manager don't work. When I'm in consol, I put \"startx\" to start gnome and it'is there that I find the error message.
thanks
Frédéric
Seems to be working fine here. Try logging off and logging on back again.

A contributor is not allowed to use Fedora legally?
by Roozbeh Pournader
I was wondering if I can do anything about not being able to use Fedora
Core legally. To use software that is partly my own (I am a copyright
co-holder for Mozilla, FriBidi, GNOME translations (sometimes under the
name "FarsiWeb", Pango, etc), I need to "warrant that I am not located
in Iran":
http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.91/x86_64/os/eu...
But the problem is that I live there, and have been living there while
working on all those pieces of software
Is Fedora allowed to do that, even when I have copylefted parts of the
software under GPL and LGPL? Won't that be adding more restrictions, and
against the explicit text in the licenses that says "You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein"? Also, isn't the same EULA claim that the whole
collective work is under GPL? If yes, how can it add those restrictions?
I would appreciate any kind of comment or recommendations, on-list or
off-list. This has somehow created a mental problem for me...

Lexar CF Card Reader USB 2.0 on FC1
by Temlakos
Hello:
Today I received a Lexar USB2.0 Card Reader. I tried connecting it to an
FC1 box (kernel 2.4.2.2129.nptl) with an AMD Duron processor (1.4 GHz).
Immediately upon connecting, the system queries the floppy and two
existing SCSI devices (an Iomega Jaz drive and a CD burner). Then,
inexplicably, the machine hangs and I have to do an uncontrolled (and,
needless to say, unclean) shutdown.
However, my HP Digital PhotoSmart 120 camera connects without a hitch
and, using gtkam, I can save and delete photographs with the camera
connected.
I tried looking up some instructions for kernel modification, and I know
I have a good tool for it (menuconfig) and also the kernel source code.
How can I get the reader to connect and mount up without bringing the
whole system to a crashing halt? Does FC1 have a special vulnerability
that FC2 does not have?
I'd really like to know how to fix this, because I'd like to recommend a
digital-photography solution to a client of mine. Of course he could
probably use gtkam to save his photos straight from the camera, but if
he could simply shove the card into a reader and use Nautilus (or even
the bash cp command) to pull off his photos to a directory of his own
choosing, that would be a lot more convenient for his operations, as I'm
sure everybody can appreciate. (He runs a pathology laboratory and would
like to take gross photographs and photomicrographs for inclusion in his
reports--and he could do that a lot faster if all he had to do was pop
out a card and stick it into a reader while he shoves another, blank
card into the camera so that he can keep going. And when he's dealing
with frozen-section diagnosis, speed is of the essence!)

Java 5
by Mark Haney
Has anyone installed the latest and greatest JRE? I just did and found
that the RPM package installed, I did an upgrade instead of an install,
but I don't see any files for it and it didn't seem to upgrade
anything. Should I blow the existing version away (1.4.2) and install
1.5 fresh?

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?

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
+ HINT: You need to use "createlang" to load the language into the

...
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
