How to find total MB of a directory plus all subdirectories
by Nigel Henry
This is a silly question perhaps. I have my soundfiles in a directory named
Sounds Library, this contains many subdirectories, which contain the .wav
files.
What command can I use to find out the disk space this directory is taking up,
including all the files that are in the subdirectories?

Public keys - again.
by Anne Wilson
Realising that I hadn't installed lshw since I installed FC6, I tried to get
it today and came up once again against the public key problem. I'll never
get the hang of this :-( I followed the link on freshrpm's web page and
saved the file, then ran 'rpm --import path/to/file' which appeared to put it
into the right place, but still the package wouldn't install because it said
there was no public key. Wondering whether the problem was because something
was broken in my repo setup - out of date, perhaps - I removed the repo and
reinstalled it. Still no joy. Just what is it that I have forgotten?

FC6 Cups with Samsung - 1610 laser printer
by Antonio M
I am using a Samsung ML-1610 laser printer.
I am experiencing many problems in printing images either with Eog,
Gimp or documents including same images as a openoffice writer
document or a PDF document.
I can't print my photo (that it is not a real problem as I use an
external lab)!!!
When I installed the printer (that was working a little bit better
with previous versions of Cups) I was compelled to use the GDI driver,
as if I try to use Postscript driver I get an internal cups server
error..
When I try to print an image i see red light flashing but no printing!!!
Any help

/dev/mapper and Anaconda install failures (FC6 x86_64)
by Sean Bruno
I've been wrestling with anaconda this evening on my x86_64 machine. It
seems that anaconda (or some other piece of the installer) is
forcing /dev/mapper to be created even when I have no RAID devices
enabled.
I have cleared the 'fake' raid stuff off of my disks from rescue
mode(dmraid -E), but with 2 disks installed the installer insists on
trying to configure /dev/mapper/mpath0.
I see each disk individually if I only have one SATA drive connected at
a time. Which seems odd as heck to me, but I can install FC6 and at
least send you folks this email this way.
Is there a 'nodmraid' option to the installer that I can pass to allow
me to see /dev/sda & /dev/sdb instead of the dmraid stuff? What's even
stranger is that there appears to be a way to disable dmraid from the
GUI screen when you choose to 'remove all partitions', but the option is
greyed out?!?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

YUM update dies with confict between poppler-utils and xpdf-utils
by Arch Willingham
I have two machines that are running into a problem when doing a YUM update (or YUMEX or PUP update) when they hit the poppler-utils package. The error is as follows:
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/pdftoppm from install of poppler-utils-0.5.4-3.fc6 conflicts with file from package xpdf-utils-3.01-26.fc6
file /usr/share/man/man1/pdftoppm.1.gz from install of poppler-utils-0.5.4-3.fc6 conflicts with file from package xpdf-utils-3.01-26.fc6
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Anyone know what this means?
by Adam Hough
I get this from dmesg running FC5 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp. The machine
seems to be stable (was crashing very frequently before this kernel in
FC). Also yes I know to boot with noapci as a kernel parameter to most
likely get rid of this error. I am still curious as to what it means.
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is
not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is
not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3
Also hyperthreading is disabled in the bios as the machine refuses to
boot if it is enabled with this kernel and all previous FC5 kernels
panic on this machine. Memory is fine also no errors after ~90 hours of
memtest86+. The motherboard and processors are new also.

Cursor problem
by Астахов Петр
Hello!
I bought motherboard Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 on chipset GeForce 6150 and
installed FC5. I can't see cursor in X. When computer loading, and rhgb
show the progress of loading, I see cursor and everything OK. When
computer is loaded and X started, there is no viewable cursor on the
screen. I move mouse, all necessary menus etc are highlighted, but no
cursor. I update kernel and xorg - result the same. I installed nvidia
drivers for video from livna - but result the same - no cursor.
What shall I do?
With best regard, Peter (Zebar) Astakhov
