Disk Driver for Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop
by Guy Andrews
I seem to need a disk driver to install Fedora 8 on my new Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop. Where can I find one?
The information about the computer I have been able to gather follows:
The system model has Intel G33 and ICH9 chipset.
The Intel G33 graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) is designed for use with a LGA775 (land grid array) Socket T processor. The GMCH provides the CPU interface, DDR2/DDR3 interface, PCI Express® interface, DMI (Direct Media Interface), and integrated graphics with display interfaces. It communicates with the I/O controller hub (ICH9) over the DMI.
It has Integrated Serial ATA host controller with independent DMA operation on six ports.
Also it integrates an Intel® 82562V 10/100 Ethernet controller supporting speeds of 10/10 Mbps.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 Vista Driver
This seems to be standard Intel Processors and chips.
I have tried several things.
Fedora 7 Live x86_64 sees the disk and will partition it as "sda". However, it does not find the ethernet connection.
Fedora 8 Live x86_64 does not see the disk, although it does connect to the ethernet and will browse the net.
Both Fedora 7 and 8 x86-64 release DVDs require a disk driver but I have not found one on the Intel site for the G33 and ICH9 chip set.
Dell does not support Fedora on this hardware.
I had expected to run Vista in a VM and so got it with the machine.
Thus the bottom line, where can I find a driver?

gcc updates
by don fisher
When are the versions of gcc components included in the devel repository
added to the standard distribution. The current version of gfortran
(4.1.2) is quite broken. I tried to upgrade from the devel repository,
but that failed due to missing dependencies. I think that once the gcc
was updated, almost everything else that links to the library was
included by yum.
Is there a path to request such an upgrade?
Thanks

FC8_x86_64 No keyboard
by Jim
Power failure , user can log in but when he gets into desktop he has no
keyboard.
Login as another user and he has a keyboard.
When power failed and the one user that was logged in and lost his
keyboard, where are the keyboard setting in users /home?

Already responded.

Ok, looking closer at the top-level Makefile, there is in
it the HOME variable. I noticed that if my HOME variable
is NOT the same location as where I am compiling the
algencan-2.0-beta directory, then the build will fail.
Poor makefile design, imo.
For example if your home build is at:
/home/you/algencan-2.0-beta
Then you do:
make algencan-c HOME="/home/you" PROBNAME="toyprob"
OR
cd /home/you
cd algencan-2.0-beta
make algencan-c PROBNAME="toyprob"
And it should work.

|Thanks, Daniel. Have you tried toyprob.c? The C interface is the

The "R" one? Dunno what you are talking about.
As for C/C++, just individually download each file as instructed
on the download page but in addition, include algencan.f since
that file was ommitted from the page. Need this to complete
compilation.
Both gcc(C) and g++(C++) "toy" interfaces compiles and runs.
> make
g++ -O4 -Df2cFortran -c cwrapper.c
g++ -O4 -Df2cFortran -c toyprob.c
g77 -O4 -xf77-cpp-input -c algencan.f
g++ -O4 -Df2cFortran -c algencanma.c
g77 -O4 -lstdc++ cwrapper.o toyprob.o algencanma.o algencan.o \
-o algencanma
./algencanma - runs, no problem.
(will not output results, no point.)

I have gome to the ime.usp,br site and downloaded
the Tango tar-bundle, and near the bottom of the page,
downloaded the individual files for the "toy" examples.
As for building the Tango tar-bundle, I noticed straight
away that there is no -lstdc++ for any of the make
files. So I have to assume that you are using it for
some other application? In any case, I was not able
to build the tar-bundled application since the Makefiles
do not appear to be compatable to Linux(Fedora). Doing a
'make clean' resulted in an infinite loop, for example.
As for the "toy" applications, given the compile instructions,
on the download page there was no problem in doing so:
g77 -O4 -xf77-cpp-input algencanma.f toyprob.f algencan.f -o algencanma
(No Errors reported.)
Running ./algencanma resulted:

So, IMO, the f/g77 compiler works fine. You just need to
work on porting Tango Makefiles to Linux(Fedora).

libstdc++ is a standard library - when linking with with gcc or g++ you
really should need to specify it by hand, so just remove the -lstdc++

Why are you trying to link to a C++ library using a fortran compiler ?
What happens if you run without '-lstdc++' ?
What happens if you use g++ or gcc to link instead ?

Make sure that the compiler knows how to find your
libraries and I think the variable is: LIBRARY_PATH?

Be Careful What You "Believe"
by Paul Shaffer
>Guess how much of that $45 billion is related to consumer desktops, and
you'll see how irrelevant this debate really is.
Funny you cite numbers like $45B in a discussion about Fedora. It seems rather specious to make such remarks with a Redhat market cap of about $4B and revenues amounting to a paltry $76M. That shows you just how irelevant Redhat is. And getting more so every day.
You true believers in the one pure Linux should get your numbers straight before attempting to ply the ignorant society and lazy users with market-based numbers to support of your OS strategy delusion.
