NetworkManager, usb_modeswitch and Option GSM modem
by Peter Boy
Hi all,
until several update cycles ago NetworkManager handled my Option GT Max
PCMCIA modem card perfectly. It automatically switched it from mass
storage to modem and activated the modem function.
Nowaday I have to manually switch the card invoking
'usb_modeswitch -c 05c6:1000:sVe=Option' before I be able to use
NetworkManager.
Question: Is this manual operation the new intended usage?
In /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf there is an option DisableSwitching=0 so the
automatic switching upon insertion of the card may be still intended.
If automatic operation is intended use, please could someone give me a
hint where to start searching for a resolution to provide a fix?
(unfortunately I didn't follow the discussion about hal / udev/
packagekit or whatever may be in charge of device handling nowadays).

Hi JD,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried the mirrors.kernel.org today
and have found that it will work very well. It is fast and I know that it
will be reliable. I have been very frustrated in my search for new
mirrors to use for Fedora updates. I could not find a new mirror list and
the old one I had or did find had entries for servers that were no longer
in service or had not been updated in years!
Thanks again!
Bill

Fedora SMP and 12 core cpu's
by JD
I was browsing for info on 12 core cpu's and found
that AMD released them or announced back in March.
The price is steep of course.
What I would like to know is the degree of granularity
of the SMP implementation in Linux.
Does anyone have an inside track on that?
Or point to some internal documentation?

ffmpeg problem
by Adel ESSAFI
Hi list
I have an mp3 file and only one image
I want to generate a video file that containt that file mixed with the
sound.
the closet example I have found is this.... but here, the input are only
images.
Could you help please*
ffmpeg -f image2 -i image%d.jpg video.mpg
This command will transform all the images from the current directory (named
image1.jpg, image2.jpg, etc.) to a video file named video.mpg.
Turn a video to X images*

rsync or dd to clone a hard drive?
by Maxime Alarie
I have never used dd to clone a hard disk.
I use rsync for a lot of my backups , and I was wondering what would
be the best tool to clone a disk. I don't want 3rd party software
also. I want built in command line tools.
I know rsync will resync where it left off if I encounter a problem,
what about dd? Do I absolutely have to creat an image before cloning?
Ex: dd if=/dev/sda of=sda.img or I can use dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb?
Thanks.

yum check for deltas?
by Dj YB
Hello,
my internet connection is pay per traffic so I prefer to use deltas when
possible.
Is it possible to know before you say 'yes' to the update process, what
packages are going to be fully downloaded and what packages have deltas?
Thanks in advance,
YB.

I think ffmpeg has an option that lets you tell it how much of the input to process. If you know the length of the input music, you might get what you want by providing that option.

No, it is currently Fedora 12. All of my systems will be updated to
Fedora 14 when it is released, and this problem I am having is resolved.

I do not use yum directly to download the updated RPM files, I use LFTP
in a script to find and download all of the new SRPMS and RPM filess in
the RedHat repository, put them in my local package repository, update
one system manually to make sure the updates will work, and if that works
okay, auto update with Yum the rest of the systems using the local
repository. This save download time and I get the SRPMS files along with
i386 and X86_64 RPM files, and all files that are downloaded get archived
for recovery purposes, I have been using this process in its various
forms at least since Fedora 5 was released. Yes, even before Yum was
released. This process has worked until this connection problem started
occuring.

I verified the 209.132.183.67 IP address both foward and reverse on my
local systems and on some remote systems to which I have shell access.
The DNS lookup information was the same in each case.

I run Bind on two servers in a rather usual configuration. DNS resolution
is not the problem here, the correct information is being returned
regardless of which system, local or remote, is doing the query.
The firewall is handled in a seperate configuration. None of its rules
have been changed in quite some time.

I did use the traceroute, as another user suggested, using the "-T"
option and TCP SYNs, and received 30 empty hops.

Thank you JB for your reply.
