InsydeH2O dual boot vista
by sean darcy
I've just got an HP g50 laptop with Vista and a Vista recovery
partition. The g50 uses INsydeh2o as a sort of open firmware that
interfaces with the bios.
I'd like to shrink the existing ntfs partition and dual boot fedora. But
what about the insydeh2o? Is this part of system rom, so I just install
grub as usual? Has anybody set up a dual boot with insydeh2o?

Note that questions have been asked about how long flash will last if
used for swap. (But the worst thing that can happen is that the machine
crashes and the flash becomes unusable).
Hope this helps,
James.

No, since you don't say what system you're using, or what desktop, or
what burning software, or even the model of your LG unit, any of which
might be relevant. Neither do you say what actually happens when you try
to burn a DVD. An error message? A failed burn? Nothing? Does it matter
if it's DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-R?
I also have an LG (GSA-4163B), use KDE 4.2 under Fedora 10 and burn
using both k3b and growisofs. Everything works.

Has anyone actually compared the speed of pendrives versus hard disks
when used for swap?

By which I meant “if the system is to act as a Domino MTAâ€, not for the
purposes of delivering Linux system email.
Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

What does that mean exactly? If it claims to burn it, but
then fails to verify, there is a known problem with K3B
never being able to verify correctly even though the burn
worked.
I've been doing verifies by comparing checksums of the files
burned versus the files from the DVD and so far the actual
burns have worked fine.

No doubt, but the address space randomization in the kernel
happens every time any program is run and loads the shared
libs at different random addresses without regard to any
base address the prelinker may have assigned.

My gpg key expired last month and I didn't notice it till today. I used
gpg --edit-key to extend the expiration date by a year, then I sent it
to one of the key servers, subkeys.pgp.net. Is this an acceptable
practice? Google searches yielded a few comments suggesting that an
expired key could be revoked and a new key generated. I'm unsure what
accepted practice is.

On Gnome the keyboard type is chosen in
System>>Preferences>>Hardware>>Keyboard under the tab Layout (along
with the stuff you mention). So maybe you can look for something
similar? In a thread recently someone mentioned KDE had some setting
under Language Settings, whereas intuitively it should be under
Keyboard settings. So maybe you can look for it there?
Just a wild guess ...

You may want to install and run preupgrade.

MCE Remote Control
by John Wendel
I got a cheap MCE remote control (usb interface), and thought I'd give
it a try. After reading the lirc documentation, my brain exploded, so I
thought I'd just plug the sucker in and see what happened.
Well, what happened is that the keyboard stopped working along with the
mouse buttons. So, I stopped X and plugged the receiver in. Now I could
see that some devices got created in /dev/input, namely "event4",
"event5", and "mouse1". Doing lsusb showed me that two new usb devices
existed, a HID keyboard, and a HID mouse.
So, can someone give me a clue as to how to proceed in getting this
thing to be useful?
Thanks,
John

font problem in Fedora 10/Thunderbird
by Robert Singleton
I just installed Fedora 10 (from FC7) on a Toshiba laptop. When reading
email in Thunderbird, the fonts now look rather weak and frail and are
rather hard to read. When composing email the fonts are just fine. This
is probably pretty simple to fix, but I've looked on FAQ's high and low
and can't find the problem. Also, I have tried changing settings in
Edit>Preferences>Display, and this too does not work. If this post is
off topic (i.e. a thunderbird post) then my apologies. Thanks in advance
for any help you can provide.

Sound stops working after rhythmbox tried to play sound
by Felix Schwarz
Hi,
I'm on Fedora 10 (x86_64). For some days I experience some sound problems:
Rhythmbox does not plays music anymore. Furthermore all other sounds are not
played as well after that.
Step by step:
1. start rhythmbox
2. select a song (ogg) and click play
=> Title bar shows the song's title
=> pulseaudio volumne control shows it too (only the title, no sound data
shown)
However:
- No sound
- no progress in rhythmbox (progress bar stays at the beginning)
- play button in rhythmbox does not change its symbol to pause
- besides that, rhythmbox is still responsive, I can switch to other songs
but still no sound.
3. After that no app (e.g. totem) can play sound (they don't hang, just no
sound).
If I reboot, I can play sounds using other applications like totem.
If I kill pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k), it will respawn another instance but
that one only finds the NullOutput so no sound as well.
lspci/sound card:
00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
In the syslog I can see:
pulseaudio[5082]: module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: device
or resource busy.
Installed packages that might be related:
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-2.fc10.x86_64
pulseaudio-0.9.14-1.fc10.x86_64
pulseaudio-core-libs-0.9.14-1.fc10.x86_64

pulseaudio-libs-0.9.14-1.fc10.x86_64
pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.14-1.fc10.x86_64
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.14-1.fc10.x86_64

rhythmbox-0.11.6-19.r6096.fc10.x86_64

Any suggestions what I can do (besides not using rhythmbox or removing
pulseaudio)?

Re: kubuntu vs fedora initrd init files,
by Jackson Byers
Mikkel responded:
I have done it both ways - as a fresh install, and by taking a hard
drive with an installed OS, and putting it in an external USB case,
and the drive has always ended up as /dev/sda. This is much less of
a problem if you are using LVM and/of partition labels then if you
are mounting partitions directly. (As long as your LVM names do not
collide! ie more then one VolGroup00.)
By far, the easiest is to do a fresh, expert install to a USB drive
- it will even do the proper Grub install so that you can boot off
the USB drive directly on any system that supports booting from a
USB drive. You can do this when moving an install to an external
case, but it is much easier doing it at install time.
Mikkel
-----------
Mikkel, I am sure you know the best way, but consider:
re LVM: I know nothing;
re partition labels: I have some but limited experience;
re fresh installs: very limited
--my main fc5 was put on for me by a vendor in aug 06
--i did that kubuntu install (from a dvd? cant recall) late06,early 07
-- and some other knoppix-based things
re fresh, expert install to usb/or scsi: I have no experience
I got into this bc Iwas trying to prepare for installing f9,f10
on my scsi sda,sdb, and so backed up fc5 to my usb to make space on scsi.
My usb is one large reiserfs partition ( set up by my vendor in 2006)
(I am uncertain as to what tool to use to
shrink that usb reiserfs partition without losing my backupdata,
or even if that is possible. I would like more than one partition
if I am going to get into doing installs to the usb)
Then, it was only bc I was frustrated it seemed completely
to boot off my fc5copy on usb ( could not find /dev/root...)
that i tried the kubuntu 2.6.26-386 kernel,initrd
and that worked!
so then I got your advice re usb-storage etc,etc
and i finally got it also working using the fc5 kernel,initrd.
So, all my recent experience is with doing the copy not a fresh install
so I will try that with a usb copy of the kubuntu install.
If that succeeds, whatever the result sda or sdc,
then i will look into doing fresh, expert install to usb of f9 or f10
thanks much for your detailed responses
