Synaptic Package Manager Output
by Dotan Cohen 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

While updating with Synaptic I got the message: While installing package bind-9.2.4-2: /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libMagick.so.6.0.7.#prelink#.OLoyQ7 is empty, not checked.

While installing package vim-minimal-6.3.054-0.fc3.1: warning: /etc/vimrc created as /etc/vimrc.rpmnew I am new to linux and see this as an opportunity to learn a little more about my system. i could not find anything on the apt website that explains what these mean (are they errors or warnings or just unimportant info), and nothing in google. Could someone lend me some insight to what all this is? Or better yet, a link that has more in-depth info? Thanks Dotan Cohen

Hello. I would like to ask someone for a help with wireless SSID management in FC3 with Gnome. Is there such a thing? I need to easily switch between various AP's and I can't find a way how to do that within GUI? Thanks!

With FC4 which includes gnome 2.10, are there any plans to enable drop- shadows by default with x.org extensions? (not cpu-intensive) Thanks!

RE: Keyboard switcher manual set string

Hi all. I installed Linux (Ffedora) in one harddrive, and window XP in another harddrive of the same PC. It boots from Linux, but displays the following: Linux Other I have 5 seconds to select either of the 2 options. After 5 seconds, it authomatically selects Linux if I don't select "other (the other refers to Window XP)". I need support in configuring for the following: * Change the "other" option to "Wndow XP" * Change the option timing from 5 seconds to 20 seconds. Regards, Paul

Hmm, and I just understand that default is not: http://www.laka.lv/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=3 files. In this page is mention(Mon 26 of Apr, 2004) that it is submited to X.org CVS, so I was thinkg that Federa 3 is already with those files... So how can somebody put maybe update those files to better use of Latvian keyboard? Most of Latvians use it, how I understand Debian is now using it too etc. And add option to Keyboard Indicator to have apostrophe option of dead key, most of Latvian use it (I think 90%). Casper

Grub
by Alex 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I ran out of solutions, so please help me. I have two disks, one IDE and one SATA. The IDE is installed with grub (and fedora core 2) and SATA has Windows XP on it. My grub.conf: #-------------------- default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Code (2.6.5-1.358) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img title MS Windows XP rootnoverify(hd1,0) chainloader +1 #------------------------- The device.map file: #-------------------------- (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/sda #-------------------------- The SATA drive is seen correctly (I think) by the linux system (I cannot mount partitions for now, because I lack ntfs support in kernel -- is still the default installation kernel running). Please help me!!!

Professionalism
by chapmanccc＠juno.com 10 Jan '05

To the developers, The Linux operating system is maturing and we all hope that it will be a major contender in the home and business markets. As it approaches this goal, the customer base changes. Linux is no longer the "geek OS" it once was. Where once the predominant profile of a Linux user was a young male, you now find fathers and husbands (I am both), women (I am married to one) and children (I have three). Linux is my main OS at home and my wife and oldest child also use it. With this evolution, a level of professionalism must also take place. Being that the Fedora project is one of the leading consumer Linux distributions, I would hope the developers would want to 'lead the pack' in this area. This brings me to my point. I was rather disappointed with the content in the "WebCollage" and "Barcode" screensavers. These screensavers have since been manually removed from my system, but I would have preferred them not to be installed by default. When I install Mac OS or Windows, garbage like this is not included. Why? Because the developers strive to build a professional product. Yes, I can install items like this with Mac OS or Windows, but I would need to download or purchase them after installing the OS. Developers, please be considerate when creating the Fedora distributions and let's strive to make Linux as professional as possible. Thank you, Chris ________________________________________________________________ Juno Platinum $9.95. Juno SpeedBand $14.95. Sign up for Juno Today at http://www.juno.com!

I have Linux and XP simultaneously installed on my system. I have a Wireless USB adapter attached to the USB port and it works fine with XP. But I can't get it to work with linux so that I can have internet on Linux. It would be great if someone can help me with the setting up the internet. Thanks, Sumeet. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more. Manage less. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250

Printing Over A LAN Network
by Jeffrey D. Yuille 08 Jan '05

08 Jan '05

Hello, I have just configured printing over a small LAN using CUPS. However, when I begin to print, it takes about three minutes for a print job to leave the queue and go to the printer. Has anyone ever experienced this before? How do I correct this problem. I would generally click on the printer icon on the task bar and it says that printing began three minutes ago. It is generally around this time when each individual print job begins.
