pymol issues with fedora 10 testing
by Jack Howarth
Is anyone else seeing these issues with Fedora 10 testing?
I am seeing two problems. The first only occurs on x86_64
where when pymol is started for the first time upon each
login (using the radeon drivers for X11), only the Pymol
viewer window appears. The Pymol Tk window on the top never
appears. I have to manually kill the pymol with ctrl-c and
restart it. At this point restarting pymol always works correctly
for the second and successive attempts. I am thinking that this
has to be related to the recent update of tk-8.5.3-5.fc10.
I don't get any errors in the terminal window which starts
pymol or the messages log.
The second problem I am seeing is with the fglrx 9.2
drivers packaged by rpmfusion. I find that these video
drivers on both i386 and x86_64 cause the Pymol demos
to be rendered in a slow jerky fashion with the entire
Pymol viewer window flashing. This didn't occur with
the previous fglrx 9.1 drivers.
Jack
ps Getting X11 to be stable for 3D usage these days
has really become a nasty game of Russian roulette.

Redhat 2 error message during kernel install
by Paul Ward
Hi all,
I know this is not Fedora but it is close enough I think.
I have just updated a Redhat 2 box running kernel "
uname -a
Linux erato 2.4.9-e.72enterprise #1 SMP Tue Jul 3 21:57:23 EDT 2007 i686 unknown
When installing a new kernel after downloading it via rhn I got the follwoing:
[root@erato up2date]# rpm -ivh kernel/kernel-enterprise-2.4.9-e.74.i686.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:kernel-enterprise ########################################### [100%]
All of your loopback devices are in use!
I checked arounf the web but struggled to find an answer.
It seems according to grub it did not write the initrd line into the
config, so I guess the initrd went wrong.
I looked at the mods loaded and noticed no loop device, however after
the attemped install the folloing line appeared.
[root@erato up2date]# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
loop 11952 0
At this point I ran out of ideas, can anyone suggest what step to take
next, this is a live server and as such do not want tt do lots of
reboots, it is also a remote server that I only have access to via
ssh, so want to be careful about what I do to the network and loopback
device.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks again!
By going to your link, I've installed the extras-freeworld & can now watch DVDs -- Hoo-Ray!!
(Is there a way to "poke" an out-of-date mirror? I'd been getting the "plugin-abi message for at least 3 weeks...)
OK now to try & a) beat Skype into submission & b) sort out the connections between PA & the other multimedia apps.
Thanks, Rex

Sooo Here's the problems:
On start up, a little black window pops up saying that Phonom can't
usesomething - I guess the AC97 onboard sound - reverting to Sis S17012.
The start ding dong sounds like the crystal set I built in the 50s....
180% distortion.
Kaffeine can only see one of the 2 DVD players (Master & Slave on an ide
cable) and playback is monstrously distorted.. And I don't appear to be
able to set the audio-cd-device in the xine parameters...
I've opened KMix, the only controls which appears to affect Kaffeine
playback is PCM & Master- the CD control seems to have no effect.
Rythmn box used to see both, now it won't even recognise a disc.... But
will play one of the radio channels without distortion. Aaaah---muted
the mic in Kmix & distortion has vanished!
Alsamixer either does nothing (stat up), or takes 100% CPU cycles if I
click on anything,
I tried to yumex the xine -lib-extras-freeworld & keep getting
Missing Dependency: xine-lib(plugin-abi) = 1.24 is needed by package
xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.15-4.fc10.i386 (rpmfusion-free)
Thought that maybe removing xine-lib & letting extras pull it in fresh
might help.. but taking off xine-lib wants to take out most of kde... so
didn't do that!!
Tried to play a commercial DVD; Dragon says it doesn't have the right
plugins ( in extras-freeworld??). Other players "sometimes they sits &
thinks, sometimes they just sits"
Tried to run Skype... Berfore I got the webcam to work, I had sound.
Now I have video, I only (most times) only have incoming sound. I'm
offered as sound input
Default Device
SiS S17012 ( hwSI7012,0)
SiS S17012 ( hwSI7012,1)
SiS S17012 ( plughwSI7012,0)
SiS S17012 ( plughwSI7012,1)
2 connections for the mic on the Webcam,
HDMI
Pulse
"Test sound" produces nothing, "Test call" gives me the Skype sounds but
nothing back from my voice.....
Does anyone know of a way to check what's what? Can I (should I)
disable various "layers" of SW ?
What's the difference between the hw 0 & 1 in Skype; between hw &
plughw; why does KMix offer me mic1 & mic2; what does the "capture" do
in kmix?
HEEEeeeeeeelp! Please!!

Unable to upgrade from FC9 to FC10
by James Allsopp
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from FC9 to FC10 using yum,
I've checked for any rpmnew packages,
I've removed most orphans.
Switched selinux to disabled/permissive
Updated fedora-release using
rpm -Uhv
ftp://download.fedora.redhat/com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-*noarch.rpm
yum repolist show fedora, livna, rpm fusion and updates all showing
fedora 10
cat /etc/fedora-release shows Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)
but when I hit
yum upgrade
It says the system is up to date, but a uname -r shows it's using
2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers

Fedora 10 installation without media: checksums
by "Stanisław T. Findeisen"
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Pardon me if I am blind, but I am trying to install Fedora 10 without
media:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/ap-medialess-instal...
and can't find the checksums for vmlinuz and initrd.img.
They are available somewhere, aren't they? I mean as files to download,
not as mathematical objects. :-)

please recommend PCIe2.0x16 graphics card for fedora 10
by Simon Tierney
I've upgraded my motherboard to an Asus P6T with i7 processor, which
seems to run OK until I reboot after software updates, then I have to
reset the CMOS each time.
I suspect the bios conflicts with an old PCI graphics card (3D labs
oxygen) which shows up during POST before the screen goes blank.
If someone knows a better explanation please tell me, but the card
doesn't seem to be displaying / recognised fully either.
I don't need high end graphics and I don't want SLI because a bios
upgrade may be required, but I am considering getting a budget
PCIe2.0x16 graphics card and I would be grateful for any
recommendations for or against a particular card or chipset so I don't
buy into more problems.

Taaraaah! I had a rpmfusion-free-updates.repo file in /etc, with
enabled=0. Edited that to enabled=1 & all is honky-dory.
Suddenly, after many tries, Skype works..... with both Skype in & out
devices set to SI7012(hw:si7012,0)
Many, many thanks for your help & patience ;-))
