repartition active machine
by Bob Hartung
Hi all,
Here is the issue & I am a relative newbie:
I have a older Linux server with two partitions: /mammdata and
/rgdata. The latter partition is no longer needed as the storage
requirements exploded and it was all moved to a NAS. /mammdata is
almost full. Will this scenario work:
1. Back up all data on /mammdata (this is a SMB share)
2. fdisk and delete the partitions /mammdata and /rgdata1
3. create a new partition to use all the space no longer used by the
two deleted partitions
4. mkfs.ext3 -jvL pt-data
5. restore the backed up data from originally on /mammdata
Thanks for you input,
Bob

Perfect. I think I've used cdplay in the past but couldn't remember the
name. Google didn't help since "cd player" or "play cd" and variations
just got all sorts of hits for things like the standard CD Player
application, XMMS, etc. I guess they all set the drive to pipe the
sound out through the sound card. Usually what people want but not if
you want to use the drive's audio jack.
Thanks,
Dave

g++ c++ compiler
by Tony Crouch
Hi All,
A definite newbie question here ...
I was so desperate to install FC6 I couldn't wait to download all the
install discs (I was still on dial-up at that stage) so I only
downloaded and burnt to CD the absolutely necessary CDs.
Of course, I wasn't able to install the g++ c++ compiler. I have for the
last little bit been trying to download and install it using yum, but
haven't had any success.
I was wondering if someone could help me find out where in which
repository it is stored.
Thanks for your assistance.
Cheers,
Tony Crouch

FC6 - openoffice and remote print failures with cups
by Gregory P. Ennis
Everyone,
I am having difficulty printing to remote printers using cups from
within openoffice on FC6. I have FC4 and FC5 systems on the same remote
stations and they work fine. Also other software on the FC6 machine
like evolution works fine with remote printing. Printing locally (on the
same subnet) on this FC6 machine also works fine.
When trying to print remotely via openoffice on this FC6 machine the
print menu displays all of the local as well as the remote printers. If
a local printer is picked the print tab button is active. If a remote
printer is picked the print tab button is inactive which prevents
printing.
abiword can be used to print the document locally or remotely on this
FC6 machine.
I have been waiting for this to be fixed, but have not entered a bug
report. Thought I would ask here first.

update confuses system
by Michael Klinosky
Hello.
I installed FC 6 when it became available, and it worked fine. Then, I
upgraded Firefox from 1.5 to 2.0. I needed lots of help - which I got on
Mozilla's Firefox maillist.
One important note: it was recommended that I install it in /usr/local
(whereas Ff 1.5 is in ~/.mozilla). I think that this is confusing Fedora.
One problem is that clicking on a web address in Thunderbird elicits:
"There was an error launching the default action command associated with
this location." (This worked when I used Ff 1.5.) This is with 3
addresses (in 3 emails, each a different domain).
Also, I can't seem to get the flash-plugin working in Firefox. Actually,
it *was* working (with Ff 2.0), but I had to reboot. Now, no flash plays
(including on Adobe's website). Interestingly, there is no message about
a missing plugin (where the flash should be shown), AND about:plugins
states that it's active.
What's going on here?

Is there an application that...
by David G. Miller (aka DaveAtFraud)
Is there an application or method (e.g., command the drive to "play
audio") that lets me spin an audio CD in my CDROM drive and listen via
headphones plugged into the drive's audio jack?
The speaker setup I have plugged into my primary desktop does not
provide a bypass audio jack. Unfortunately, this means I need to become
a hermit and close up my office if I want to listen to tunes while my
wife watches the tube. I find the sound quality acceptable using the
audio jack on the CDROM but I need a way to spin the disk and NOT have
the sound come out the sound card.
Thanks,
Dave

[OT] Kannel related questions
by Deepak
Hi,
I am new to Kannel and this whole SMS gateway thing. I am trying to
learn how to integrate the LAMP system with SMS services (like sent
SMS text messages in database to use with other applications). So to
try out, I just installed the binary pacakge via yum from extras repo
(I'm using FC5). My questions are:
1. Where is it installed by default? I am asking this question because i can use
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/kannel start
as deemon but according to Kannel documentation it can be started in
other ways like
./bearerbox -v 1 [config-file]
2. According to Kannel documentation, it comes with "smskannel.conf"
as a sample file but I couldn't locate it anywhere (including
/usr/share/doc/kannel-1.4.1). Where can I find it?
3. Can somebody guide me on where to start looking for in order to
learn Kannel and integrate it with the web (with apache and php)?
Thanks

KDE woes....
by Michael Comperchio
you know, sometimes I feel like I'm playing with win3.1. Every time I
touch something, the system breaks. I wanted to play with QT so I
installed via yum QT4. NOW KDE WILL NOT START....tells me that it can't
find libqt-mt-so.3. BS. It exists in /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib,
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib (which the ld.so.conf.d files point to) and also
in /usr/lib64/qt4 (the directory yum install qt4 it into...) this is
very frustrating....so I'm back to GNOME....which I guess is god's way
of telling me that I'm a c programmer .... don't play with c++!!!!!
any suggestions?

The RULE project is _still_ there. We have some problems with the
configuration and upgrade of the website but the project is alive and
the slinky installer works with FC 5.
The mailing list is also still available to get support.
Sorry for the website problems, I do hope to fix them soon.
