xmonad on F10
by lostson
Hello all
I am trying to build xmonad on F10 but keep getting this error
Configuring xmonad-0.8...
Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing:
X11 >=1.4.1
I do have X11 and the development stuff installed though
rpm -q libX11
libX11-1.1.4-5.fc10.x86_64
libX11-1.1.4-5.fc10.i386
This is a 64 bit machine but why cant the configure script find the
appropriate libs it needs ?

F10: too many Network headaches
by Andre Costa
Hi,
I just installed F10 on my system (replacing -- not upgrading -- a previous
F9 installation). In general, installation went by just fine. However,
setting up my network has been unbelievably hard.
I have a DI-624 router, and I am using static IP (I turned its DHCP server
off because it was rebooting when my wife's MacBook Pro connected). This
setup has worked flawlessly with F9 and even F8.
First weird symptom: NetworkManager refuses to allow me to edit settings for
eth0. It doesn't ask me for any kind of authentication and simply shows all
fields disabled. I don't know why it started doing this, because right after
I booted for the first time I was able to edit it. Later on I disabled
SELinux, don't know if this is related somehow. This is specially annoying
because I can't configure DNS servers this way, and must always edit
/etc/resolv.conf manually.
Second weird symptom: System > Administration > Network Device Control
didn't show any interfaces I could manage (maybe this is the correct
behavior when NetworkManger is in charge, I don't know...)
So, I turned NM off and switched back to plain system-config-network (which
I'd rather not do, since I need to use NetworkManager every now and then to
manage a GSM modem).
To my surprise, even though I try to set my subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, it
was setting it to my IP address (192.168.0.100), or sometimes to my gateway
address (192.168.0.1). I had to manually go through the files at
/etc/sysconfig/network/ to fix this. Also, s-c-n allowed me to create a copy
of eth0 profile, but didn't allow me to remove it (had to do it manually as
well).
Right now everything is working just fine I guess, but if I reenable NM it
screws things up again.
AFAICS I'm probably experiencing many bugs at once (NM and s-c-n). Anyone
experienced anything like this? Should I start filing bug reports?
Regards,
Andre

Googleearth won't run on F10
by Mike Faire
I downloaded Google Earth 4.3 and the install seemed to run without
hitch. When I try to run googleearth the xterm displays the following
error message;
./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared
libraries: ./libminizip.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc:
Permission denied
And then an icon pops up with SE Linux reporting that it has blocked
a program.
Is SE linux preventing google earth from running? How do I tell SE Linux
to get the heck out of the way?
TIA

gscpa_ov519 flaky in F10
by William John Murray
Hello all,
I have a camera served by the rastageeks ov51x_jpeg
driver. With the advent of 2.6.27 kernels the gspca_ov519 which is in
the system now gets in first. Its a great driver, with cheese or
mplayer, but does not work with evo or kopete, the packages I want.
So I want to re-enable ov51x_jpeg. I blacklist gspca_ov519, fine.
But the device /dev/video0 is enabled with root root crw-rw----
permission, which means I cannot use it :(
I can chown /dev/video each time, but I wanted to do it
once-and-for-all. However, even if I create it in /etc/rc.local it is
overwritten when I plug in the cam.
Can anyone suggest what I should do?
Thank you so much!
Bill

Fedora 10, openjdk and BlueJ
by Frank Murphy
Can I get all 3 to play nice,
if so how.
When I try /usr/bin/java -jar bluej-250.jar
and the BlueJ winow pops up.
I browse to /usr/lib/jvm/
BlueJ, tell me I need to use the java jdk which contains tools.jar
Openjdk doesn't seem to have this.
Before I trawl sun.com, should I report this as a bug?
Is tools.jar allowed in openjdk?
