java web start broken
by John Wendel
I just installed the latest JDK from Sun using rpms built with the
jpackage spec file. The install seemed to work properly and everything
that I've tried works, except java web start.
strace shows the error, javaws looping on
waitid(P_PID, 3163, 0xbff85180, 0, NULL) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
This is the same bug that was in 1.4.2.crap. bug.sun.com shows that
it's fixed in 5.2 (where's that?).
If anyone has a fix to share (that doesn't involve a preload .so), I'd
appreciate it.
Regards,
John

Installing 32-bit packages on FC4-64
by Albert A. Modderkolk
How can I force yum to install the 32-bit version of, for example, XINE?
Will it replace the not well working 64-bit package or must I remove
that first?

stopping unwanted stuffs
by Eric Hartwell
Hi all,
I'm running KDE on FC4, and noticed things
like /usr/libexec/evolution/2.2/evolution-alarm-notify, /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.2,
and /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server running when I do ps aux.
Where are those things started from? (How can I turn them off?)
thank you,

how can I make a boot floppy disk?
by mustafa
I just finished installing fedora 3, I didn't install a boot loader, how can I make a boot floppy disk?
I saw this note from fedora 4 installation dcumentation:
"Your computer must have GRUB or another boot loader installed in order to start, unless you
create a separate startup disk to boot from."
But the installation finished and it didn't ask me to make one!
also, I can burn a boot image on a cd, could that help

You are correct. Installing FC4 on two machines this weekend and I like
Yumex but will try smart. Use yumex to install smart as I write this. Cool.

Swap memory
by Gustavo J. Mata
Hi everybody,
I am running Fedora Core 4. When I use the 'free command' I get the following
output:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 483196 350104 133092 0 29076 178420
-/+ buffers/cache: 142608 340588
Swap: 0 0 0
>From which it appears that swap memory is not active.
In addition when the system is rebooted I get a warning that "line 10 of
/etc/fstab is bad", or something like this. Line 10 corresponds to swap memory.
It reads as follows:
LABEL==i386 -mcpu=i68 swap swap defaults 0 0
Any hints on how to correct this?
Thanks in advance,
Gustavo J. Mata

Python Zipimport Bitpim Problem
by Chris Spencer
A day after I install Bitpim (http://bitpim.sourceforge.net), I get this
error when I try to run it:
zipimport.ZipImportError: not a Zip file: '/usr/lib/bitpim-0.7.32/bp'
Fatal Python error: cannot get zipimporter instance
Aborted
The only way I've found to fix it is to reinstall Bitpim, but the
problem always returns a day later. I asked the Bitpim devs and they
told me:
"You can thank your operating system for this. Every evening it runs a
task that goes around stripping files. In this bp is an ELF binary
with a zip file appended. The automated strip processes is removing
the zip file.
I suggest finding the cron job that does this and stop it. (No, I don't
know what it is exactly as I don't run Fedora). "
Does anyone know what he's talking about? What cron job would I stop and
how would I do that?
This problem is immensely frustrating and makes Bitpim essentially
unusable on Fedora. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Chris

How to get XFS to be properly supported in FC
by Aly Dharshi
Hello Folks,
I hope that you are well. I just wanted to find out how I could go
about soliciting support for getting XFS into the Anaconda installer GUI
and text FS selector drop down menu without having to type linux xfs at
the prompt.
I believe that there is interest in this going this way, so how would
could I get this going.
Cheers,
Aly.
