problem with building kdemultimedia RPM package for mp3 support
by Mohammed El-Afifi
I'm using fedora 7, 64-bit edition. I'm trying to add the mp3 support for xine. I'm using for this purpose the packages kdemultimedia-3.5.6-7.fc7.src.rpm and kdemultimedia-3.5.6.tar.bz2. I tweaked the file /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kdemultimedia.spec a little to enable mp3. I'm rebuilding a binary RPM package for kdemultimedia using the command:
rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kdemultimedia.spec
The building process goes fine until I get the following error:
.libs/xinePlayObject_impl.o: In function `xine_shared_init':
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kdemultimedia-3.5.6-patched/xine_artsplugin/xinePlayObject_impl.cpp:113: undefined reference to `pthread_create'
I get this error along with some other errors all related to pthread. The last command in the build process that preceded this error was
/bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -o libarts_xine.la -rpath /usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -module -no-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -pthread xinePlayObject.lo xinePlayObject_impl.lo audio_fifo_out.lo -L/usr/lib64 -lxine -lX11 -lXext -lkmedia2_idl -lsoundserver_idl -lartsflow
As I see the -pthread option is specified in this command(and the pthread library is installed on my system for sure), so it's most probably not a linking problem. May it be a missing header file in the source file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kdemultimedia-3.5.6-patched/xine_artsplugin/xinePlayObject_impl.cpp? Does anyone have an idea how to overcome this error?

[OT] Connecting two hard drives on same IDE cable
by Dotan Cohen
Most of the computers I've ever built had two hard drives. I always
install the master on the cable connector closest to the motherboard,
and the slave on the far end. I don't recall having problems with this
setup, which I learned because I have had motherboards that would not
recognize a master if it was on the end. Now, I have read from a
respected data-recovery source that the slave should in fact be on the
connector closest to the motherboard and the master on the end. Is
this accurate? What do the experienced people who frequent this list
know?
Thanks in advance.

System lockup problem when adding more memory - FC5
by Cokey de Percin
I have an older dual processor server that has been happily running FC5
since it was released. It currently has 4G of memory and has the
capacity for 8G using 1G sticks. Recently I was given 2 1G sticks and
tried to upgrade the system. The system recognizes the memory and
boots, but then locks up with:
exec of initj(/sbin/init) failed: Exec format error.
Removing the memory clears the problem. I have also tried some 512
sticks and they also cause the same problem. Essentially anything over
4G regardless of the how that's arrived at will cause the lockup.
Looking for any hints/ideas.
Tnx
Cokey

failed to set xfermode ...
by Jamie Bohr
I was give a system with a D875PBZ Intel MB in it, it is a 2.8G system.
I am trying to get Fedora on it but either get a kernel panic or
failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40). I have googled and found a
few ides, none have helped.
I've:
- updated the BIOS
- set irqpoll
- tried disabling the Intel SATA raid controller
- ....
If I take my IDE drive out of the old system and only run IDE on the
new system it boots and seems to work great. If I try to reinstall -
as a test to see if there is a problem with just SATA - I get the
same error - failed to set ....
My head hurts from all the banging and trying different options, this
list is my last hope before I talk my self into purchasing a PCI SATA
RAID controller.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

lsdvd?
by Tom Horsley
I'm considerably confused. Anyone know what is going on with lsdvd
and the livna versus fedora repos?
I see an lsdvd update from the fedora updates that conflicts
with the existing lsdvd on my system, and I'm also horribly
confused by whats on my system now because lsdvd apparently comes
from two different rpms :-).
[root@zooty ~]# rpm -q -f /usr/bin/lsdvd
streamdvd-streamanalyze-0.4-6.lvn5
lsdvd-0.16-4.lvn6
A few other packages seem to depend on the streamdvd stuff,
but nothing seems to depend on the existing lsdvd.
I'm ignoring the update for now, maybe it will sort itself
out in a few days :-).

why does network install not get the latest?
by Globe Trotter
Hi,
I was surprised to note that network install obtains the old files and things
to be updated after install. Why this unnecessary waste of bandwidth? Or is
there a way around this? If not, is there any reason why the directory OS does
not contain the latest?
Btw, in FC6, there used to be a repository called Extras for all the other cool
stuff. I understand extras is gone, but how do we include this repository (or
rather which repository should be included) to get the equivalent stuff? For
instance, claws-mail, R, etc, which were in Extras previously.
Best wishes,
Trotter
