by Thomas Chung 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

All, This is a gentle reminder that we still have 135 un-fulfilled requests in our December queue. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/FC6DVD/December Please consider accepting at least 1 or 2 requests to complete the list. Yes, you *can* accept requests from other countries as well as your country. If you're a SponsoredMedia vendor, please check if we have any more credit to sponsor or consider donating your media to Fedora Free Media Program. My offer for a Fedora T-Shirt if you accept 5 requests is still valid until December 31st. Regards, -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung

by "Guillermo Gómez S." 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hi all Just to inform that Fedora Venezuela has started a local freemedia program (limited to venezuela). We have committed an initial quote of 100 DVDs for December. We are about to launch an official announcement as soon we get the web interface for it. Meanwhile, we have scheduled to use 50 DVS + the Fedora Venezuela banner for the ExpoTecnologica 2006 (event) in Maracaibo. Unfortunately i cant attend to the event but there will people committed from the fedora community to attend the visitors in the booth. kr -- Gomix Guillermo Gómez S. cms fedora-ve http://www.fedora-ve.org blog http://blog.gomix.org soporte fedora-ve en irc.freenode.net, canal fedora-ve lista email fedora-ve(a)googlegroups.com Key fingerprint = 3143 8BDB 48A2 3241 E62A B743 D177 CAD7 3205 A464

Re: [Ambassadors] Issue about the Realtek 8168/8111 PCI-E
by Moshe Roffe 11 Dec '06

hi Bart, try typing $su - the minus after the command su gives the environment and the PATH of root, ( a.k.a /usr/sbin, /sbin..). after that, as a full root you can run #depmod -a i am happy that you are successful! tell me if everything went fine.

Issue about the Realtek 8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernetcard
by Bart De Soete 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Hi, Since a few days all my pc's are running now on FC 6. However, my most recent laptop (an Acer Aspire 9412) contains a Realtek 8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernetcard. This networkcard was not supported in FC 5 and still isn't in FC 6! I did some research on the web and contacted a few people who are having the same problem. Realtek's website provides user with a so called: "linux-driver" in tgz-format, but every user that I contacted received the same errors I received when compiling the driver. On an Italian website, I found an rpm of it, called: dkms-r1000-1.04-1.src.rpm. However, when trying to install the rpm-package I get the error: "cannot installe source packages". (???) Can someone give me advice or something? It's a little bit frustrating, 'cause I was planning my next presentation about Fedora on this laptop. And ofcourse: a laptop with FC 6 with no internetconnection is not done. Kind regards, -- Bart De Soete, Fedora Ambassador Belgium Bart.De.Soete(a)fedoraproject.org

Hi everybody, I'm planning to give a presentation for a college that's wondering if they would migrate 50% of their PC's to Linux. Are there up to date templates available for giving info-presentations about Fedora? Kind regards, -- Bart De Soete Fedora Ambassador Belgium Bart.De.Soete(a)fedoraproject.org
