Sound on Acer Aspire ZWLMi notebook
by JeeBee
Dear Fedora users,
Recently, I have bought an Acer Aspire ZWLMi notebook, and I
installed Fedora Core 5 on it. It works very well, except for
sound, which I cannot seem to configure properly.
It has an Intel HD (high definition) Audio card.
I believe this is a Realtek ALC883 (this is what Alsa's autodetect says),
but I'm not sure.
I tried several things to configure my card (e.g. I tried configuring alsa),
but nothing worked. Is there another user with the same sound card who got
this working? And, if so, what driver was used?
Thanks in advance,
JeeBee.

Still no java
by Jeanette Russo
I folowed this to the letter buy still no working Java
as verified on the test page at Sun Java
This is from the Unoffical Fedora FAQ
As suggested to me by someone on the list. The
directions are quite clear and I followed them exactly
and nothing failed to build.
Does anyone have a working Java plugin and how did you
do it?
Thanks Jeanette
You should have the Java Software Development Kit on
your desktop. It is a file whose name looks like:
jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin
Open a Terminal.
Become root:
su -
Make sure the "rpm-build" package is installed:
yum install rpm-build
Change back to your home directory (instead of root's
home directory):
cd ~username
Where "username" is your normal username.
Move the JDK to the RPM Building "sources" directory:
mv Desktop/jdk-* /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
Download the JPackage Java 1.5.0.07 Source RPM. Click
on the link that looks something like
"java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.07-1jpp.nosrc.rpm." Then, on the
next page, pick where you want to download the file
from. This should download the package to your
desktop.
Go back to the same root terminal you were in before.
Build the Java RPM (using the file that you just
downloaded):
rpmbuild --rebuild Desktop/java-1.5.0-sun*src.rpm
This will create a bunch of RPMs in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586/. You can install them by
doing:
yum -y localinstall
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586/java-1.5.0-sun-*
Now you want to enable the Java plugin for your web
browser:
ln -s
/usr/lib/jvm/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Does polling stop acpid working?
by Timothy Murphy
My ThinkPad (T20) does not shutdown properly.
I'm told that this is because I am polling the temperature
(with cpuinfo), and also the battery.
Actually, I would rather have the battery and temperature info
than shutdown properly, so I regard it as a price I have to pay.
(It does not seem to have any bad consequences,
since the hard disk does stop.)
But is there any way round this?
Has it been notified as a bug, and if so of what?
(I couldn't find it after a brief search.)

Monodevelop et al on FC5
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/rpms.html
Other than ikvm and monodoc, the rest are currently waiting for approval
for inclusion into FE. Use them at your own risk.
Issues
------
Currently, there is a problem with gtk-2.9 which means monodevelop is
prone to falling flat on it's face. This is supposed to be fixed in the
next rawhide release (2.9.3). If you're on FC5, this version will filter
down to you when it's happy.
Changes
-------
Most of the packages are now noarch (exceptions being boo and nant).
This is inline with the proposed mono packaging rules.
boo is now the current upstream version and requires nant
The x86_64 versions will be uploaded later today (Friday, 16th June)
If the apps fail or cause problems, please email me directly with the
bug report.
TTFN
Paul

Sane doesn't see HP5370C scanner -
by Bob Goodwin
Sane did work with this equipment under FC-4 but of course I wiped
everything out when I installed FC-5. This morning I thought I'd like
to get the scanner working but my efforts have been to no avail. My
notes don't indicate any unique configuration under FC-4?
Some of the indications I am seeing are as follows:
scanimage -L
No scanners were identified.
sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0701) at libusb:001:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
lsusb -v

bcdDevice 0.01
iManufacturer 1
iProduct 2
iSerial 3
bNumConfigurations 1
-------- snip -------
It appears that the computer recognizes the scanner but sane does not?
I don't know where to look next , what to do? Nothing I have found has
been of much help.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

weird cron error in /var/log/secure
by Lonni J Friedman
For a few weeks now on my FC5-x86 system, I'm seeing the following
error appear in /var/log/secure every 5 minutes:
pam_loginuid(crond:session): set_loginuid failed opening loginuid
Clearly its getting triggered by some cronjob, but I can't figure out
which as I'm not aware of any cronjobs that run every 5 minutes.
Anyone have any ideas what that error really means?

RE: remote power control

On small sites, we have servers (linux rh 8, 9, or fc 4) acting as

Here are some really old notes to something I did a few years ago:
http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/dsl_reboot.html
It uses X10 devices available at Radio Shack and elsewhere to reboot a hung modem.
This is 110V stuff, but 220V may be available.
