/sbin/ifup-local does not work on boot only on restart
by John Arthur
I want to run a script immediately after and interface comes up. However
ifup-local does not appear to be running on bootup it only runs if I do a
"service network restart"
Does anyon have any ideas or pointers?
[root@epsilon network-scripts]# ls -la /sbin/ifup-local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 240 Oct 31 22:48 /sbin/ifup-local
[root@epsilon network-scripts]# cat /sbin/ifup-local
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
eth0)
logger -t ifup-local " $1 "
;;
tun0)
logger -t ifup-local " $1 "
;;
*)
logger -t ifup-local "Unhandled Interface $1 "

F8 ETA?
by John Aldrich
Is Fedora 8 still on schedule for release early November? I'm still running
FC6, but I was thinking of upgrading to F7, however, if Fedora 8 is still
on-track for early November, I may just wait to upgrade.

nvidia
by Karl Larsen
You might have a nvidia video card on your motherboard. There are
two choices here. Try to use the nvidia or turn it off and plug in your
old known video card. Today I wish I had done the latter because using
nvidia with f7 is a pain.
I really do not see a new Linux user ever getting his/her computer
working with nvidia. You need to go to the nvidia web page and get a
tarball and install it, not a new person's thing, or you can get 4 rpm
files and learn to use --nodeps at the proper time.
Hoping that the updates would by now have some nvidia help, after
getting 236 updates last night on my f7-64 bit system it did not fix the
problem. I used the 4 rpm files from www.atrpms.net which worked but
maybe not well. I heard from Ric Moore that the tarball is the way to
go. I will try that on f8.
A bug I keep forgetting to file is the following. A really bad
problem with nvidia is the missing pointer when X windows boots up. You
can do nothing! This is fixed by edit of the /etc/X11/xrog.conf file
adding you want to use a software pointer.
But this will not work if grub.conf has a kernel directive to use
rhxxx which hides the boot up output. While that standard kernel
directive exists you can not get a pointer period.
This bug makes f7 and I expect f8 useless to a new user with nvidia.

dd command to clear start of harddrive
by Nigel Henry
This is not directly Fedora related.
I connect to the Internet through my Smoothwall, and a serial modem. Recently
the machine that the Smoothwall is running on has been playing up. Harddrive
spinning up and down. I have another older machine (1.33GHz, 64MB RAM, and
6GB harddrive) which had Win 2000 pro on it, and was trying to install a
backup Smoothwall on it. The Smoothwall installs ok, and lilo is installed,
but when I reboot the BIOS does the memory check, and all I get next is half
a screenfull of "40's" printed out. they remain for a few seconds, then I
just get a prompt that I can't do anything with.
I am wondering if something has been left behind on the harddrive from the Win
2000 install, that linux has not been able to remove.
I've seen a few times a dd command that can get rid of stuff at the start of a
drive, but stupidly have not written down the info.
Could someone kindly give the required dd command to make sure that the
harddrive is clear of all data.
The machine won't boot off cd, but using smart boot manager on a floppy, I can
get Finnix booted up on it, and work off the CLI.
Thanks for any help from the list.
Nigel.

Opening .rar files
by Tony Crouch
Hi All,
A friend has sent me a file which I need to open which has a .rar file
format.
I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right
program direction to getting the file opened.
Thanks for your help.
All the best.

speedy recompiles
by Michael D. Berger
On FC7, in compiling my libraries, I see that
re-compiles of C++ code goes much faster than
than the original compiles. I delete all *.o
between the compiles. How does that happen?
Thanks,
Mike.

Googling a bit reveals that the same problem with comps-f7.xml has been
in existence at least since early June, ie. since the release of F7. See
for example: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=168232
It looks like update metadata is contained in comps-f7.xml - and GUI
updaters such as pup and yumex use this file to fetch information on
packages to be updated.
If comps-f7.xml is corrupted (like in this case for x86_64 systems), pup
and yumex visit every available mirror only to receive the same corrupt
file from each and everyone of them - which in each case results in
"incorrect checksum" error message. No wonder it takes ages to load the
same metadata file over and over again from various mirrors and find all
of them defective.
Although updates with pup have been unsuccessful in this way a couple of
times before, I haven't posted about it because yum has worked always
when pup has failed. From this I conclude that yum doesn't use
comps-f7.xml for anything. I can't help wondering, however, why should
pup or yumex use .xml files? Isn't it a M$ standard - and controversial
at that?

Simple words transfer
by Karl Larsen
Forever, it seems, if you select a group of words from one device
like a web page, you can then transfer them to a email. I have used this
a lot and now it has stopped!
Now when I try to do this a panel comes up with Undo to Select All.
It looks like the panel from Edit.
How do you fix this?

Kernel 2.6.23 & madwifi
by Renich Bon Ciric
I had trouble, when I upgraded to kernel 2.6.23, with madwifi. The
module didn't load nor was loadable with modprobe.
Maybe there's some bugs on the kmod-madwifi package. Anybody had the
same?
