Re: FC4 laptop no sound AC'97: amixer: Unable to find simple control PCM-2 and DRC-Range

FC3 wav audio worked fine on this laptop, but it went silent on the "upgrade" to FC4. Looks like this fix ought to go back into the main tree. -Nigel

From: mooshie <mooshie(a)bluebottle.com> Subject: Installing Gnome 2.12 in Fedora Hello all! I found this nice little tutorial on how to install the newest Gnome 2.12 in Fedora Core, it works perfectly! You will definatly notice the difference from 2.10! Check it out and let me know how it works for you! http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Upgrade_your_FC4_box_to_the_lates… Note: I am not taking credit for writing this, nor am I the technical support for it. Wow, this is great, it's easy and it works. A bug I had with Nautilus in FC4's Gnome 2.10 is gone. Plus all the new features. I highly recommend doing this. Next I will do my laptop!!! Stephen

up2date missconfiguration
by Amadeus W.M. 06 Dec '05

Running FC4. I have livna.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the following contents: [livna] name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY When I try to upgrade the system with up2date, the livna repository shows up, and when highlighted the channel information says repomd channel livna from http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.lvn Why is it looking for FC3 rpms? I suspect the 3 is given by the releasver variable from livna.repo, but where is that set, and why is that set to 3? Thanks! P.S. I did update the system with yum update, but it's nice to see when new updates are available, that's why I still want to fix up2date.

Re: ssh & port 22 problem

> When I try to connect from a remote machine to my one at home > using ssh I get the error message "ssh: connect to host 64.146.133.1 port > 22: Connection refused" -- but using ssh in the outgoing direction (i.e. > from home to the remote location) works fine. Any suggestions as to how > to troubleshoot this? Hi Jerry, I looked at your IP to see what kind of router you had. It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed: Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865 Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30 So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22 for you. --Stewart

x86_64 browsers
by Graham Campbell 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

I am the proud owner of a new dual core AMD 64-bit system and am fighting to get it into shape to replace my old system. I am currently fighting the browser plug-in situation. Is there any tutorial, white-paper or the like that someone can point me to to do this? Alternatively how do I create a 32-bit browser? -- Graham Campbell <gc1111(a)optonline.net>

system-config-users 1.2.39 broken?
by Yeaw Chu Lee 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi! Has anyone updated *system-config-users-1.2.39-0.fc4.1* recently and found that adding new groups do not work anymore? The add new users work just fine... but I can't seem to create AND edit groups. It just showed a grey out box with a busy cursor all the time. Or am I the only one with this problem? ... sigh ... I would appreciate any response. Thanks.

What microsoft has to say about XP
by Dotan Cohen 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

I think that more people mould move away from WIndows if they read the notices on the microsoft website: "The simple act of visiting an Internet site can be extremely damaging to the system" from: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en… Important to note that the article quoted's purpose is to convince the user to create and use a standard account, and not the system's default Administrator account. What this means is that the system's default beaviour is to make the simple act of visiting an internet site extremely damaging to the system. Why on earth would people use such an OS?

HP Compaq nx6125 touchpad weirdness
by Mika Penttilä 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

Hi! I'm seeing weird Synaptics touchpad behavior on the HP Compaq nx6125 with FC4 X86_64 (updated to latest). A tap on the touchpad generates sometimes Button1, sometimes Button 2 events, I think more often Button2, which makes it quite difficult to use. Is there something to tune for this, or is this a known one? Under Windows it seemed to work ok. Thanks for any input! Mika
