OT: linux-friendly _slide_ scanner
by Itay Furman
Hi,
My appologies for posting off-topic.
I am interested in buying a slide scanner. If I could control
this device from linux (Fedora :-) instead of quitting linux and
visiting windows, this would be a _major_ advantage.
A print scanner that supports scanning slides/negatives with
high quality will also be a good option.
Anyone has done this before and would care sharing his/hers
experience?
More generally, what should I look for when searching for a linux
compatible scanner (prints or slides)?
Thanks in advance
Itay

Fortran 77 and Fedora core 4
by Hoffmann
Dear List,
I just installed Fedora core 4 on my machine, and I
realized that from GCC 4.0 I got Fortran 95 (g95).
However, I would like to compile a program on my
machine that needs Fortran 77 (g77) to compile it.
Could anyone, please, let me know how could I handle
that? Should I install a older GCC as well? If
affirmative, that would cause conflicts to the last
GCC I got from Fedora? Any other suggestion?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best,
Hoffmann

tar problems
by Alberto Ferrante
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi all,
so, any news about FC4 tar bugs (--exclude, --exclude-from, and --newer
options not working)? For the moment I downloaded and recompiled the FC3
sources for it: it seems to work fine.
Ciao

Create your own repo and then use rsync nightly to keep it up to date.

I for one would be quite interested if someone could post instructions or a link on how to PROPERLY create a local repo (mine will be FC3). I am interested in establishing one here for internal use
I have plenty of hardware, and a 5mb cable modem (so the hardware/connectivity side should not be a problem)

[FC3] Squirrel Mail / SELinux
by M. Lewis
I'm having a problem logging into Squirrel Mail. I have the following in
the log:
Jun 29 14:40:40 cygnus kernel: audit(1120081240.918:0): avc: denied {
connect } for pid=4379 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd
scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_ttcontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t
tclass=tcp_socket
Earlier today, I did the procedure that's been described in the past
week by Alexander I believe:
su -
rpm -ev selinux-policy-targeted selinux-policy-targeted-sources
rm -fR /etc/selinux/targeted/
rpm -ivh
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-3.9.noarch.rpm
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.17.30-3.9.noarch.rpm
touch /.autorelabel
Still I'm having the error shown above. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Help installing Java
by Neal Wilkinson
I installed Java (jre1.5.0_04) and then went to
the /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.8/plugins directory and did a ln
-s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
and the link was created. When I try and run a Java app though it says
the plugin is not installed. Java is enabled in the browser as well.

FC3 and ghostscript
by Bill R. Williams
I went straight from FC1 to FC3 and something ugly has appeared.
(I mention this because it might have appeared in FC2, but I wouldn't
know.
The ghostscript output UGLY! Big clunky-looking font.
Easy to create example: (using yum startup -- any [ba]sh script will do.)
$ enscript -p out.ps -G -C --color --pretty-print=sh /etc/init.d/yum
$ gv out.ps # or whatever GS viewer you use
The above example you can do a perl script (--pretty-print=perl) or
whatever.
Part of the problem is easy to notice that because there is COLOR in
out.ps the gv display will have some text "backed-up" over preceding
characters. Not so noticeable for those who don't do a lot of
'enscript' of scripts, is that the font is big and clunky and runs off
the right-hand side of the "page".
I do quite a bit of programming in various scripts and sometimes
C/C++, and I have a need to produce nice program listings.
I have used 'enscript' for years; from RH v7.x through FC1 it produced
exactly what I needed. With FC3, it is just unusable for my purposes.
Note that NO FONT is specified, so I am used to getting the default
which is mono-spaced resulting in output that has all characters lined
up as they should be. (No variable-width character adjustment.
Kerning?) I have tried many variations specifying a font to get back
to what I want. If I specify something which produces variable-width
characters, the output is "correct" in that there is no "backed-up"
text due to the color specification; however, this type of font is no
good for program listing purposes.
I have determined that the problem is with ghostscript! (Any utility
I use which displays postscript uses ghostscript.) I can produce my
standard enscript output on my FC3 system at home, take it to my
office and look at it on my RH 7.3 system with gv and it is as I want
it to be.
This problem is significant to me for several reasons, and affects my
intention to upgrade my system at work to FC3.
Help will REALLY be appreciated!
(Including the proper "official" place to post this.)

Well something weird has happened, it doesn't display the menu again,
and all the three files are real files.
I tried to do "cat /etc/grub.conf" grub didn't find the file... and
it's there. Then I tried the same for
/boot/grub/{grub.conf,menu.lst}... same problem. I even did a "cat
/boot/grub" then I hitted tab... it seems grub can't find the folder.
I have only one root (/) ReiserFS partition, no home, no boot.
My best guess is that whatever grub is using to access ReiserFS
partitions is outdated or has bugs.

Kernel Panic after FC4 upgrade
by Michael DeCleene
Hi, folks,
I recently updated from FC3 to FC4 via CD install. Install went fairly
smoothly, but I now can't get the system to boot--I get a kernel panic.
Relevant section of boot log follows (apologies for any typos--I can't
cut-and-paste this without a working system...)
CODE
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
Switching to new root
ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 1
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 2
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Having done some poking here and on google, I'm expecting this is a grub
issue with finding my proper root filesystem, since it seems to have issues
when it tries to mount the root device. Which should be trivial to fix, so
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here. But I've been at this for
several hours, and can't for the life of me find the issue...
Some configuration info: I'm attempting to boot from a SCSI raid array. That
array has /boot on /dev/sda1, the correct root filesystem on /dev/sda2, and
/swap on /dev/sda3. I'm using the smp kernel because I do have an SMP
system. I know the array is OK because I can properly mount it when booting
into rescue mode.
I've looked at grub.conf and didn't see any obvious issues, though I've
tried a few suggestions I've found online. I've tried reinstalling grub on
/dev/sda. I've run grub and verified that it has setup hd0. I've checked the
device map, which looks OK. I do note fedora is using hd0 in grub, not sd0,
to represent my array, but since the device map correctly points to the
right place, I don't think that would be an issue (especially given that the
system can in fact find the kernel). Basically, I'm stuck here, and looking
for some thoughts/suggestions:
Some possibly useful files follow:
/etc/grub.conf looks like:
CODE
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
#Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
#NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
# initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp ro root=/dev/sda2
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/sda2
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
/boot/grub/device-map looks like:
CODE
#this device map was generated by anaconda
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
/etc/fstab looks like:
CODE
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defauls 0 0
/dev/sda3 /swap swap defauls 0 0
<more in this file about my IDE hard drives and floppy>
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!

Change Disk from IDE to SCSI using dd, what else ?
by Eduardo J. Vega A
Hello guys... I got already FC3 installed at /dev/hda but I need to move it
to /dev/scd
I know that I can move them by using dd, but, what else do I may need to
change ?
1) Grub ? Which config files ? Should I do any other stuff rather than
modify the new path at the Config files ?
2) FSTAB ?
3) Others ?
Thanks
