fc6: core + livna repositories
by PawelCarqowski
hallo Group Members.
I noticed some strange behavior of my fc6. Some popular programs do
not work well. A week ago I had problem with sane. THen I updated
packages with yum. Then I noticed that oowriter crashes when
trying to save a file. I updated again (4 days ago). Then noticed that firefox is
not working correctly: it crashes after a few minutes of working.
Is it possible that the problem is with my repositories? I use ONLY
fedora stable repository and livna. Both of them are enabled during
update. Do YOu experience any problems with such a mix?
regards!

MAC Safari browser vs. Firefox on FC6
by Jeff G
I just purchased a D-Link 950G internet camera that works with Windows
(Active X) and supposedly with a MAC/safari.
I tried to use Firefox directly from FC6 and it doesn't work -- no idea what
is going on.
Any suggestions on what to try, as I thought Macs were running a linux OS
these days.
Thanks.

questions about installing fedora via http
by Angelin Lalev
I have some questions about installing fedora via http.
1. After the installation do I still need to use 'yum' to upgrade packages as I will need if I install it from CDROM?
2. How secure is installing via http and updating with yum against man-in-the-middle attacks?

sendmail.org mailing list
by dhottinger@harrisonburg.k12.va.us
Im working on an issue with an FC 6 box that we are using for mail
(suddenly started slowing down). I think the issue might be related
to uw-imap or my sendmail config. I cant find the mailing list for
sendmail. Does anyone know if they have one? My log files are full
of this:
Apr 29 21:04:44 mail xinetd[7457]: START: imap pid=20811 from=204.111.40.3

duration=1(sec)
Apr 29 21:05:05 mail xinetd[7457]: START: imap pid=20868 from=204.111.40.3
We are using Horde 3.1.x and imp 4. For some reason each client is
logged in and out their entire mail session. I cant find any kind of
config for imap, and my xinted.conf is standard. Im not sure, but I
dont think this is normal.
thanks,

kbd?
by Michael Klinosky
Ok, what's kbd?
Like control-center, I see that it's also installed. I tried running it,
and I looked in /usr/bin.
The Package Manager states "Tools for configuring the console". So, how
do I access them?

Re: FC6 grub problem...
by Paulo Cavalcanti
I suppose the windows disk is the master, so it is hd0.
As a consequence, the linux disk is now hd1.
This way it will not boot in linux, unless you rewrite the MBR in the
windows disk with
grub-install, and change hd0 for hd1 in your old grub.conf.
I think that the easiest way is leaving the linux disk as master (hd0),
and switching the disks (logically) when booting in windows.
Generally, the choice of which disk to boot from can be made in the BIOS.
This way, your grub.conf remains the same and you just need to add this
part at the end:
title Windows XP
map (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
map (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

Xine-lib=1.1.5 dependency -- now what do I do ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
Yum returns that before I can upgrade Xine I need Xine-lib=1.1.5 as a
dependency. I have never seen anything written as Xine-lib=1.1.5 (with
the = sign) before. However imaginatively write a yum install command
using Xine-lib=1.1.5, with and without the livna repo, I can get no joy
from yum.
Now what do I do?
By the way is yumex ever going to produce a help manual?

Can't update openoffice.org-core
by Ranbir
Hello,
I keep a local mirror of Fedora Core 6 updates, and point my home PCs to
use the local mirror. It's worked without fail for many months.
Recently, an openoffice update was released, but whenever I try to
update my two FC6 computers, I get this error:
(1/1): openoffice.org-cor 100% |=========================| 88 MB
00:09
http://10.19.75.200/mirror/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/openoffice.or...: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download
Trying other mirror.
Error Downloading Packages:
openoffice.org-core - 1:2.0.4-5.5.22.i386: failure:
openoffice.org-core-2.0.4-5.5.22.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No
more mirrors to try.
The "other mirror" error makes sense because the repo file only has the
URL for the local mirror, so yum can't find any others. That's fine by
me. It's the damn "[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download"
that I don't understand.
I've tried the following on the computers that are doing the update:
yum clean all
yum clean packages
yum clean metadata
yum clean headers
I've tried rsynching the local mirror to the remote rsync server. I've
even deleted the entire updates folder, and rsynched it to a different
Fedora Core mirror. But, I keep getting the error.
I just installed Fedora Core 6 on a second laptop. I've done nothing to
it yet except install the distro and create one user. yum on that
laptop spits out the same error.
I don't know what's wrong. I also haven't seen anyone complain about
this on the list, so I'm assuming it's a problem unique to my little
home network.
Here's the script I use to update the local repo (run
in /etc/cron.daily):
# Fedora Core 6
rsync -aHP --exclude=debug --exclude=repodata --exclude=*langpack* \
--exclude=kde-i18n* --exclude=m17n-db* --delete \
--delete-excluded
fedora.cs.wisc.edu::fedora-linux-core/updates/6/i386/ \
/srv/intranet/iso-images/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386
createrepo -q
-c /var/www/localrepo-cache/fedora/6 /srv/intranet/iso-images/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/
Does anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ranbir
