OT: mp3 xmms
by George Hare
After one of my updates I noticed that Xmms had no mp3 and I could not
find it google or the repo's. Isn't this all getting a bit tiresome?. What
happened?
Thanks,

sort with tab field separator
by Amadeus W.M.
You would think specifying tab as a field separator for sort would work
like this:
cat file | sort -k 3 -t "\t"
It doesn't:
sort: multi-character tab `\\t'
So after a little search and some trial and error I got this to work:
cat file | sort -k 3 -t "`/bin/echo -e '\t'`"
For my own curiosity, can someone please illuminate me as to why the
first incantation does not work as expected? Is there a more natural way
to specify \t other than echo?

Dislin breaks 37 libraries on Fedora 8
by Joseph Thames
Yesterday I installed the Dislin-9.2-1 Linux rpm along with openmotif
2.2.3.10.fc4.2 and xorg-X11-libs 6.8.1-12.fc3.1, which it requires. When I
tried to link it, I got a message that libXm.so.3 was missing. This should
have been installed with openmotif, but apparently wasn't.
In trying to resolve this issue, I brought up the Synaptic package manager,
and it said that 37 packages had been broken. To fix the broken packages, it
wanted to remove the 3 packages I just installed. The broken packages are:
libdmx, libfontenc, libICE, libSM, libX11, llibXau, libXaw, libXcomposite,
libXcursor, libXdamage, libXdmcp, libXevie, libXext, libXfixes, libXfont,
libXfontcache, libXft, libxi, libxi, libXinerama, libXinerama, libxkbfile,
libXmu, libXpm, libXandr, libXrender, libXres, libXScmSaver, libXt,
libXTrap, libxtst, libXv, libXvMC, libXxf86dga, libXxf86misc, libXxf86vm,
mesa-libGL, and mesa-libGLU
This is a big show-stopper for me. I am in the process of porting a major
application system from SUSE 9.0 and G77 to Fedora 8 and Gfortran. I am not
interested in all the new features that these broken libraries support
(whatever they are). I just want to be able to demo this application to my
client in 3 weeks.
Please advise a course of action.

How do I deactivate the X11 video device auto-settings?
by pursley1@netscape.net
Okay, time to move on to the next annoying problem with my machine.
I need to know if someone can tell me that will force X11 to default to
a specific display mode (24 bit color w/ 1024x768 resolution) when it
starts up. I am using an LCD display that is not very forgiving in
other graphic video modes and for some reason, even though I have that
listed as the only option in xorg.conf, it still switches to another
video mode when it first starts up. When I force a restart to the
Xserver, then and only then does it use the video mode I specified.
Some help here would be appreciated and here is the section of my config
file that contains the setting:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Thanks in advance,
Bradley

PCI VIDEO CAPTURE CARDS for Fedora
by Dan Thurman
Hi all,
I am wondering if members here would advise on a great
video capture card one can use for survellance and other
uses (such as capturing a telescope data for astronomy) that
supports many cameras in real-time (all/most channels active)
and also supports remote/local viewing with protocols for
supporting full tilt/motion/zoom. As for the camera itself,
I'd like to have at least one that not only supports full tilt/motion/zoom
but can also might support 0 lux, color, but perhaps also support
IR/uV as cheaply as possible? Yeah, I know it might be
too expensive for my budget but hey, I'd like to know what
my options are! ;)
I just happened to find something like:
Lorex 16 Port PCI
Card Digital Video Recorder - 120 FPS
Model No: QLR1660
Features:
* 16 channel (camera) triplex PC card solution (view, record, playback simultaneously)
* Local and Remote internet Monitoring Capability
* Digital Recording of live video to PC's hard drive
* View up to 16 locations simultaneously
* Compatible with Windows operating system
* 1 / 8 / 16 / Full Screen / Sequencing
* Individual selection of security alarm features
* Digital freeze and zoom-in
* Easy search and playback of digitally recorded video
* Password security protection
* External alarm option
Minimum System Requirements:
* Pentium 4 - 1.6 GHz or higher processor
* Microsoft Windows operating system
* Optical drive
* 256 MB RAM
* Separate video card with 64MB minimum (broadband connection required for remote connection)

* 256 MB RAM
* Separate video card with 64MB minimum (broadband connection required for remote connection)
* Supports 16 cameras and 4 assignable audio channels
* Supports pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras with Pilco D or equivalent protocol
* Supplied software enables local network and remote internet access
* 120fps recording speed
* PC requires 62MB or larger video card, 20GB available HD space and a 1.3GHz CPU
* Includes Lorex(tm) application software CD
Notice above Pilco D or equivalent protocol...
Is this a propreitary protocol or supported under Fedora???
It is also not clear how to 'breakout' the 16-channel inputs
to support other interfaces supporting other camera devices
such as camcorders, webcams, VCR, MXC, S-? and so on.
and this card is priced near $300.00 at bargain rates, or
so it seems...
Also, this card may be obsolete (at least it is no longer in
the Lorex website) and there is very little information as
to programming the card for local use (such as motion
detection, for example) - but this is just one that I found
at the moment.
Perhaps there are better cards out there?
Does anyone have any advice as to the card/camera that
would be great for use under Linux/Fedora?
Thanks!
Dan

dansguardian and selinux
by Vikram Goyal
Hi,
I am running dansguardian ( content filter ) and squid. Versions:
dansguardian-2.8.0.6-1.2.fc8.rf
squid-2.6.STABLE17-1.fc8
selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-87.fc8
Well, I want to run dansguardian under selinux enforcing mode but due
some avcs I have to go to permissive mode or allow the blocked accesses,
neither of which I want.
Bug reporting is also not an option since it is not in the fedora repos.
The avcs are:

As you may see, except for the first three, the rest of the avcs show it
running wild and messing with a number of unrelated logs, which I don't
want to allow.
I am confused as to how it should be handeled.
Thanks!

kudzu broken in Fedora 8 after updates?
by Michael D. Setzer II
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Systems are not finding the nic after clonng to an identical machine as they
have with all version from Redhat 9 to Fedora 7. Now it is coming up with a
message that eth0 doesn't appear to be present. Deleting the network setup
in the gui, and then creating a new one using eth1 instead of eth0 that still
shows up as an option then works.
In dmesg, found that kudzu has an error.
warning: process 'kudzu' used the deprecated sysctl system call with 1.23.
I've run it at the command prompt with kudzu -p and it produces output that
shows the eth0, but the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf does not show those lines.
I am going to reimage a machine, and see if redirecting the output of
kudzu -p >/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
and then rebooting will fix the problem, but even if it does, is this a problem
that could effect other things if kudzu isn't working, and is there an
alternative?
Thanks.

FC8, lost sound
by SternData
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Last night, I was fumbling around trying to play a DVD that was just a
bit too encrypted. I installed libdvdcss and then lindvd. They have
since been uninstalled. Now, I have no sound. I'm not sure that those
packages caused the problem, but ...
In any case, system-config-soundcard sees the SB Audigy card, but
nothing comes out. When I boot into Windows, it's happy.
On the same day, a bunch of packages were installed, including hal.
My suspicion is that it has more to do with HAL than the dvd fumbling.
Has anyone else lost sound since hal - 0.5.10-1.fc8.2.i386
Is there some way I can "clean" the system of what it knows about the
current sound card and let it rediscover it from scratch?
