smb-shares
by Sturla Holm Hansen 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

I'm having probles when using nautilus to browse smb-shares, either on another linux-box or on a windoze-box, it takes ages to connect, then I'm asked for a password and then it takes ages again. Finally I get a list of the shares on the box, when double-clicking one of them it takes ages AGAIN, but when I'm finally inside a share things seem to be working fine.... Any ideas? Sturla

Problem mounting FAT32 hard drive
by AL 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Any thoughts on this? I have a second hard drive located at HDD and it is a single partition 80GB drive. When I try to mount it as root I get the error "mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel." I currently have fat support loaded as a module. It shows up when I do lsmod, but its not in the kernel. At least it doesn't show up when I do a "cat /proc/filesystems." Am I missing something? -AL

The more I read the confuser I get.

I will make it simple. If you by a RH Enterprise distribution or RH Workstation distribution can you install it freely on multiple machines or do you have to pay for each installation? Or is the service for the installation only good on one machine but the software can be installed on multiple machines? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@trinity.edu

Fedora Project: Announcing New Direction
by Michael K. Johnson 23 Nov '03

23 Nov '03

Red Hat and Fedora Linux are pleased to announce an alignment of their mutually complementary core proficiencies leveraging them synergistically in the creation of the Fedora Project, a paradigm shift for Linux technology development and rolling early deployment models. We are <...> *thud* One two ... one two ... testing, is this thing on? Hello, this is, um, the Engineers speaking. We are still really excited about the project, but this time we have more than just dates. We hope fedora.redhat.com will answer lots of your questions, and are sure it will pose a few new ones. Why Fedora? Red Hat has a lot of experience in building solid dependable core distributions while the Fedora Linux Project has lots of experience in building effective infrastructure and policy to create many high quality add on packages. Both groups decided to merge the two projects and build outward using our shared experience, and to use the name "Fedora Project". We don't pretend the merge will be smooth or immediate, but we firmly believe that working with the Fedora Linux Project will get external projects and add-ons up and running better and faster than we could on our own and we are proud to be working with them. The Fedora Project is something special. It enables Red Hat and the community to work together to provide the community with rapid rolling releases and to get new technology into the hands of developers. With the solid establishment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat now has a platform for predictable change and high quality support for customers, and for our ISV and IHV partners. Fedora is about the community, about cool new technologies, and extending existing Red Hat tools in a collaborative community. Our new up2date, for example, supports YUM and apt-get repositories. Fellow Fedorans, a new dawn is upon us, let us begin. Please note: The http://rhl.redhat.com/ web site has been renamed http://fedora.redhat.com/ and the mailing lists have all been renamed: rhl-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-list(a)redhat.com rhl-beta-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com rhl-devel-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com rhl-docs-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com Your subscriptions have been preserved, moved over to the new names for the lists. michaelkjohnson "He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book."

Compiling 2.4.22-1.2108.nptl
by David C. Hart 16 Nov '03

16 Nov '03

I didn't find this on Bugzilla but every time I try to compile any of the NPTL kernels I get an error on make BzImage specifying "active_load_balance" in sched.c. Eventually, if I run it again (without an interim make clean) it does compile and it does boot. Given that I have now experienced the problem on three machines, I suspect that this is a fairly common bug. Does anyone know what this issue stems from? I have also noticed that these kernels seem determined to build in the crypto options, regardless of how they are configured. FWIW, I like to build fairly lean kernels, eliminating what I don't need.

Crossover Office 2.1
by Gerry Tool 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I just downloaded Codeweavers Crossover Office 2.1 and installed it on FC Test3. It seemed to work fine at first, but after a couple of days (and many updates from rawhide) it now produces an error when I try to run a windows app. IE 6 will not run after the error, but other apps do. "Your system appears to contain a security patch that will cause trouble when running some programs in CrossOver. To fix the problem, please consult the online FAQ at ...." When I consult the FAQ, it says: ============================== 6.1.2.1.6. Will CrossOver work with my security patches? (grsec, libsafe, etc.) Sometimes. Many security patches disallow loading executables at certain locations in the memory map. Some Windows executables are stripped of their relocation records, thus must be loaded at a specific address in the memory map. For this reason, you may experience trouble running certain programs in CrossOver with security patches enabled. If you are using grsec, please contact us as we may be able to help you. If you are using the "not executable stack patch" for Linux, you may disable it for CrossOver by running the following command: $ /usr/sbin/chstk -e ~/cxoffice/bin/wineloader ============================== I do not have a program called /usr/sbin/chstk, and suspect this is not the solution anyway. Has anyone else experienced this or had success with CrossOver Office 2.1 on Fedora? Thanks. Gerry
