What?
How about reading "man

First, "rpm -qa | grep tar" is not going to give him his results.

Gain,
I don't think your solution does all that much different than what I
already stated over a day ago. I'm not sure why you feel the need to
turn this into an argument. My solution would have worked just fine.
I'm just trying to help people out here. I don't get paid for this and
don't need to argue with idiots over the 1001 ways to do something.
Someone asked for an answer and he got it. Stop wasting my time and
drop it already.

First, "rpm -qa | grep tar" is not going to give him his results. The
file he is looking for is called "Tar.pm". When you run "rpm -qa" it
does not go into the detail about which files are installed, only
gives you information about the packages. And "grep tar" won't find
"Tar.pm" anyhow because grep is case sensitive... "unless you typed
"grep -i tar".
Second, "rpm -ql" is used to list the files that are installed by a
particular package.
He doesn't know which package installed the file, so your solution
means he would have to do rpm -ql to every single package installed on
his system just to search for the file.
"rpm -q --whatprovides /path/to/file" will tell you which package was
responsible for installing a particular file.

VPD Keys errors fixed on Shuttle SN95G5 XPC
by Eric Hill Matlis
Some of you may have noticed the errors flooding /var/log/messages:
eth0: -- ERROR --
Class: internal Software error
Nr: 0x19e
Msg: Vpd: Cannot read VPD keys
This is problem stems from issues related to the checksum of the vpd keys
for the Marvel Yukon Gigabit ethernet device. It turns out several
different motherboards with this lan device show the same error; one is
the ASUS K8V. Asus eventually supplied a dos-executable patch which
solves the problem on their motherboard. The catch is, it seems to work
on the SN95G5- at least for two machines I have tried recently, one a ver
1.2 and another a version 2. The patch is located at:
http://www.asus.com/support/download/selectftp.aspx?l1_id=1&l2_id=20&l3_i...
d=3&f_name=vpd_patch.zip~zaqwedc
extract the zip files, and boot with a dos disk. Then execute "vpdwrite
-P as_vpd.raw"
This cured the problem for me.
good luck.

Everything ran very well until I log in to the system
but once it accepted my password it hangs!!!!!!!
I tried twice but the same problem happened
Then I realized that Hyper threading may be made the trouble
Then Disabled it in BIOS and ran the FC3
Yihaaaaaaaa!! It solved the problem
then I thought it may be the first time. so
I tried again with hyper threading enabled operation
Oh! No No No it is not running with Hyper threading
returned back to the Disabled mode

Yum update froze after xpdf 100 % done 121/261
by Igor Lumpus
Hi,
I encountered a strange thing during a yum update,
during the process it just stopped working when it
was finished with the xpdf package.
The system in question is an i386 running FC2 wich had its
last 'yum update' done sometime in November and the only
thing i have been messing around with configuration wise is trying to get an
ftp server running. The last yum update went very smooth without any
problems.
Questions:
Can I kill the frozen yum and restart without doing some
manual intervention, i.e. remove packages or whatever?
Is there something i should look into to see why it happened, i.e. is there
a log file somewhere?
If it happens again what information do i need to gather
for a proper bugzilla report?
best regards

Xchat file permissions
by Poohba
I copied my .xchat2 dir from fc1 and xchat works fine. I am however
unable to save. I'm getting a permission denied. I have the dir chmod
775 and i have it chown root.media and i am part of that media group. if
I do id I see media listed as one of my groups. Why am I unable to save
to the dir. It is the correct dir. Does SELinux have anything to do with
this? Is there a way to completely turn it off. I am able to create
files and directories in that directory if i were to just go to it.

Hybrid CD wrongly mounted in FC3
by Tarjei Knapstad
After installing FC3 from scratch on a box that previously had FC1 I was
going to install Maple 9.5 which comes on a hybrid CD for
Linux/MacOS/Windows (depending on what OS you mount it, the install
files for that OS will show up).
When I mounted this CD under FC1 the correct files showed up, but on FC3
I got the MacOS part of the CD and couldn't install (!).
What gives? Are there any parameters I can give to 'mount', or is this a
bug?
I've solved this by simply mounting the CD on a FC1 box, tarballing all
the files and copied them over the network, but would like to know for
future reference, and possibly bugzilla this.
Cheers,

Senao / engenius NL-2155CD+ext2 802.11b
by Terry Polzin
Greetings:
Does anyone have any experience with this card in FC2,3?
Read an article today that "claims" it works with stock orinoco drivers. The
article also went on to report that the card has a greater radio output than
most ( = greater range). Please share your experiences.
THANKS,

Resizing a partition
by Lucas Chan
Hi,
I recently signed up with a super-cheap dedicated server company to run one
of my personal sites. The box was pre-installed with FC2.
Some of the partitions they set up on it are ridiculously small. I
contacted them saying:
"I'm quickly running out of space on a couple of partitions and need them to
be resized. I understand this needs to be performed at the console with a
boot disk so I'm submitting a ticket to you guys."
They responded saying:
"We cannot resize the partitions without reformatting/reimaging the drive."
Am I missing something obvious? I thought resizing partitions was quite an
easy thing to do with parted? Are there some oddities with resizing
partitions in Fedora that I'm not aware of, or am I just getting the quality
technical support you'd expect from an el-cheapo hosting company?
The RHEL parted docs I found indicate to me that this is a simple process:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s
1-parted-resize-part.html
Thanks in advance.

It is correct the LABEL=? needs to be corrected but it will not work
unless the root= clause references the same device dewsignation as the
fstab does. LABEL=/ does not equal /dev/hda2
