I have no such file on my fc16 system, because I deleted the biosdevname
package.
What a useless package that does not solve anything, but creates new
problems

Howto: 32 bit skype, working with a webcam, on 64 bit Fedora 17
by Tim
Hi,
Just a heads up, in case anyone else decides (against all sanity) to try
using Skype, *and* get a webcam working, on 64-bit Fedora 17, you get
stymied by:
Skype being only released in 32 bit
Skype wanting video for Linux 1
Fedora 17 uses video for Linux 2
Web pages offering advice for Mint and Ubuntu
So, yum install libv4l-(whatever).i686. In my case, today, that was:
yum install libv4l-0.8.8-2.fc17.i686
Make yourself a script to launch skype with a compatibility library
#!/bin/bash
#
# force preloading of a 32 bit video for linux 1
# compatibility library for video for linux 2
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
Use that to start up Skype, instead of its own menu item. No doubt you
could put that command line into a desktop launcher, with out the bin
bash shebang. And my comments aren't needed, they're just so I don't
have to remember why I use that script.
And you're, now, related to Bob.
Tested with:
skype-4.0.0.8-fc16.i586
libv4l-0.8.8-2.fc17.i686
NB: If you simply name your launch script "skype", and put it in your
file search path, I don't know whether it's safe to launch Skype in the
script with a one-word "skype" command. It might go around in circles.
You could change my sample launch script to use the full path to skype,
instead. i.e. LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
Anyone care to try this and confirm that it works for more than just me?
Prior to this, I just got a black screen in Skype, instead of my webcam
(which does work, if tested in VLC). I have noticed that I needed to
toggle the webcam off and on a few times, in Skype, before it came to
life. So you might want to test that, too. Toggle on/off, wait a
moment, do the opposite.

Blocked site -
by Bob Goodwin
This is an updated [yesterday] F17/64 bit computer. Suddenly
Newegg.com produces errors:
Error. Page cannot be displayed. Please contact your service
provider for more details. (4)
Error. Page cannot be displayed. Please contact your
service provider for more details. (11)
I receive their e-mail messages but have been unable to display the
html or switch to the browser as I usually do when I want to read
their ads.
I've inquired of opendns and waiting for response there. So far I've
only seen this with Newegg but the problem began before I did the
yum update yesterday. I believe it was working up 'til Monday.
Am I the only one with a problem? Suggestions what to do welcome,
Bob

umask in /etc/sysconfig/httpd not being used in Fedora 16, Fedora 17
by Ron Wagner
Hi,
I have been trying to setup Fedora 17 via boxgrinder as a LAMP server. What I am stuck at is getting apache httpd to use a umask of 002. I have added "umask 0002" to /etc/sysconfig/httpd but it doesn't seem to be used. I built a Fedora 15 configuration which did use the umask, then tested with Fedora 16 and found it did not work. Is this a bug or is there now a different method for setting apache's umask?
Thanks Ron

"It should be noted that the Unicode Standard also defines the UTF-7
charset, which was intended for Internet mail. However, MIME is quite
capable of carrying UTF-8, and UTF-8 is expected to be used in many
protocols, not just Internet mail. Fortunately, very few vendors
implemented UTF-7, and its use is strongly discouraged in Internet
mail."
Essentially it was never a great solution to the problem it was
supposed to address (didn't really beat existing methods, UTF-8 in
MIME generally turned out to be better). Still, whatever reader Marko
is using should be able to handle it, if it is GMail then it's a bug
in that.

Javascript problem Fedora 16
by Roger
I do hope someone can help me here.
I am learning Ruby on Rails.
It requires javascript to be installed for both Firefox and Chromium
browsers.
Following the instructions at
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64rpm_install.xml
jre installed,
made link sudo ln -s
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so
Restarted firefox but it does not find jre.
I have <Enable Javascript> enabled in preferences.
Still get Ruby on Rails ExecJS::RuntimeError.
Can someone instruct me in what to do to get jre working on firefox and
Chromium in Fedora 16 please.
I have also installed as per instructions at:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64_install.xml This also
fails, it appears to be only an upgrade.
Thanks in advance
