Mounting Combo drive
by Subrata Banerjee
Hello,
I am a new user of FC5.
The problem i am facing is
the FC5 does not recognise
my combo drive.
I tried 'mount /mnt/cdrom'
but of no result.
I will be obliged if
anybody can help me
to sort out the problem.
Thanks.
Subrata.

mplayer broken on FC5?
by Philip Walden
I did a yum update about Oct 28, which updated my mplayer to
mplayer-1.0rc1-1 from *pre8*, I think.
Just know I tried it and get a "mplayer: error while loading shared
libraries: libspeex.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory".
Looking for libspeex.so.1, get:
ll /usr/lib/libspeex*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 28 14:01 /usr/lib/libspeex.so.1 ->
libspeex.so.1.3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 139388 Oct 26 04:07 /usr/lib/libspeex.so.1.2.0
So it looks like something linked a new version but did not actually add
the library.
Anyone else see this?

Adding another port to sendmail
by Ashley M. Kirchner
How do I configure sendmail to listen (and use) another port, IN
ADDITION to port 25? Our outgoing mail server uses port 25 for internal
stuff, and for our remote users using authentication, I'd like them to
use port 2525 (specially since a few of them have port < 1024 blocked by
their ISP.) So I need to have sendmail be able to use both port 25 as
well as 2525 (or whatever other port number, 2525 just seemed logical.)

Media Check errors on Fedora Core 6
by tom
Another of my silly little "challenges". As in things
aren't quite working as expected 8-/.
I have downloaded the cd isos for FC-6, and the sha1sums of
the images test as good. I have burned to cd two complete
sets of cds, and gotten one cd to pass the media check
step. _Everything_ else fails, and fails multiple times.
I have looked at bugzilla and not found mention of this
being a problem as it has in the past with fedora.
Is anyone else having similar challenges, or should I
assume the problem is entirely on this end?
As a side issue, how would I get the sha1sum of the burned
cd? I believe that should remain the same as the image
file, or am I completely a sea?
Thanks in advance for your help

Unfortunately, no. The iso file is on my work computer. All I had was
the DVD install disk which I copied to the hard drive and of course it
doesn't work. I'll save a copy of the iso file as a data file on a DVD,
and then copy it to the hard drive and mount it as you suggest. I should
have known that from other things I've done. I think it should be
something like:
mount FC-6-x86_64-DVD.iso -r -t iso9660 -o loop /some_mount_pt
I'm still not clear as to the directory. If I dump the iso to the USB
drive or to the hard drive, there are going to be other directories and
files on the drive. Somehow I have to tell it where to find things but
it's unclear to me.
Thanks for your help.

The location of the C header files can be found in:
/usr/src/kernel/`uname -r`/include
which will currently translate to:
/usr/src/kernel/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/include
Note: I have installed VMWare workstation on both an AMD X64 and an
Intel Centrino. The one giving me a problem was the Centrino, since by
default the I686 kernel source was loaded by default. You will need to
erase that source and install the i586 source, then run
"vmware-config.pl" to complete the installation...

X Windows has disappeared on FC6 install.
by Steven Stromer
Installed FC6 yesterday with many headaches...
Finally, everything seemed to be working perfectly well, including
reboots. No errors.
Rebooted this morning with all services starting properly. Logged in on
splash screen, expecting to get to my gnome desktop; instead I get a
console screen reading:
Fedora Core release 6 (Zed)
Kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 on an i686
[hostmane] login: [blinking cursor]
What the heck is going on?!? Where did X and gnome go? What can I do to
get my desktop back?
Thanks for any help!
