Fedora :: Resolve The /dev/dsp Missing Situation?
Jun 29, 2010
I had serious problem with recording from tv via tvcard. My new distribution is Fedora 13 and the recording program is mencoder. The tvcard is Pinacle 110i. I recorded without problem when ripping from dvd, but when I tried to record from tv, I becam the answer: no /dev/dsp ... cannot open the demuxer. First I thinked that the problem cam from alsa settings, so I searched a while about this. And I didn't found alsaconf, like in Mandriva.So, after searching, I found the solution.
1. As root, issue the command
#modprobe saa7134 card=77 tuner=54
#modprobe saa7134-alsa
[code]....

I've had a fair share of experience with Unix, but am humble and didn't see a better place to put this.
Bear with me here:
I am in a situation where I will be without owning a computer for a while. I have a 16GB SDHC which uses very little space for music/photos/game-saves and I wanted to use it along with a USB card reader to boot into a Live USB distro. I've tested with Ubuntu flavors and things work great. But after doing some reading, I found that the constant read and write is hard on any flash drive (not to my surprise).
I have decided to use a LiveCD instead, and see if I can allow persistence on my USB/SDHC setup instead. I absolutely need to virtualize a Windows XP machine within the Linux distro and be able to save some stuff.
For starters, what is the best distro for me? I'll be using it mostly for programming and the shell, so a fancy desktop isn't really needed (but man does Ubuntu look nice). I'm just making sure I can install and run programs from an SDHC in the way that I want.

I need to install ubuntu or edubuntu (preferably) on an older computer (256 ram) whose cd rom is shot, but the USB ports work! The family has 2 kids and the parents are very computer illiterate and know NO English. The kids' future is dependent on learning English. The grandfather is illiterate in his language! They are not down and out people, but they could use some help, if you know what I mean! I do have an external DVDRW drive and 2 computers where Ubuntu Maverick and Lucid have been installed. I will be about 300 km from them to give support. I have 2 days Monday to Wednesday next week to install Ubuntu or edubuntu.
I read on the internet 3 solutions, one of them offering a USB fix, which I am not 100% clear on: [URL] I do not know how to program and am far more comfortable around a GUI, even though I sometimes venture off using the terminal (albeit, copying and pasting codes that other provides and that often I only get half the meaning of). The USB stick option seems to be one of the best solution at this time because I have tested it in the past! The computer has suddenly crashed (I had installed Windows in a multiple user/password mode), but one of the kids (older) was using games from friends' usbs (maybe full of virii)! Maybe the crash is a hardware crash as surges are common in the area. (I will be able to check for that using some kind of software if I can boot the comp.) After installing Ubuntu succesfully on two more recent computers already, I think Ubuntu or edubuntu might be the best solution for this situation. I am also 300 KM from being able to help out these people!
I have a few questions at this time. If the option of basically using one computer's image (ubuntu Maverick) that I have installed with all the packages that come with it (solution 1) is a viable one, how am I going to deal with the difference in hardware between the two computers. DOn't they need "drivers" and packages related to these specific components? Could I use the external dvd drive? If so, how can I get the old computer to recognize it. Assuming I can make it work again, would I need to download (beforehand) the windows drivers/files needed? Install them which might help if I want to use it to install the ISO image. I am not thinking about a dual boot since space is an issue and windows is a bad option anyway (virii).

Server (LVM):
500GB
320GB
I want to install a new 500GB and remove the 320GB, of course moving the data on the 320GB to the new 500GB. I have an external 1TB in enclosure that I can plug in to move the data over, but how do I move only the data on the 320GB to it?? I found this [URL]. But that is only to move the data to a new replacement disk, but my external is only temporary to move the data from the 320GB until I remove it+install 500GB, then move the data back. Not enough space on the 500GB already on server to move everything from 320GB to it, just in case that seemed the obvious thing to do.

I did a NMAP on a 10.4 desktop system. Found tcp wrapper on my system with an open port. Again I do not run a server. etc/host-deny and etc/host-allow contain no active elements. I know tcp wrapper as a great tool to secure a server. Closing the port with ufw gives no result, tcp wrapper still show up.

alrighty, long story short, I screwed up. I had installed a copy of ubuntu 9.1 to my sda1 partition and a copy of windows 7 to sda2 and it worked pretty well, but after needing to change the partitions around, I deleted sda1 and did a wubi install. I forgot to adjust the mbr before deleting the ubuntu install and my live CD is still running ubuntu 9.1 (think that's grub 1.5) and I can't update the live CD, as my only functioning OS is currently running off it. I suspect, therefore, that the mbr is still pointing to a now non-existant partition to find the boot files. So, in short, how do I use my current live CD to allow me to boot into windows in this situation? my current partition table is sda2: windows 7/wubi, sda1: media/backups

I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.

Situation is that there are two users on a Linux server- say A and B.A has been operating a shell script that in turn makes use of and exe file.The script and exe both are owned by user A.My problem is that I want user B to make use of the script and exe in exactly the same way user A does.So I have set suid bit of the script, exe and all the library files that the exe uses.But the exe is still not executing from user B.I did a man of chmod on Linux server and it gave an indication that SUID is disabled on new Linux servers.Now the question is, is there any other command that can perform the same task as SUID did on Unix.

Fedora 11 is constantly freezing after a few minutes up. I run memtest but couldn't complete the test becuase the machine keeps freezing during the test. All fans are working and the CPU's temperature is normal (around 49C), so I don't think it overheats or something. I really don't know what is happening.
I tailed the messages log: Code: tail -f /var/log/messages and waited for the machine to freeze again. A second before it froze I got the following message in the log.
avahi-daemon[1498]: Invalid response packet from host 10.0.0.78

Downloaded the torrent first, burned to a new DVD-RW, and tried all install options I could think of. Then downloaded to file, burned to another new DVD-RW, same result. This morning I downloaded the Live CD, and it got all the way to the blue screen just before the login page, and stuck there. I finally gave up and reinstalled Fedora 10 again on my drive. The problen seemed to be with a missing or corrupted package, although I can't remember exactly remember which one. My machine is a custom one, Nvidia Gforce, and an Elite Group MB. F10 runs fine, no problems at all. Is this a commom problem with 11?

Over the weekend I upgraded my home PC from Fedora 9 to Fedora 12, and now I'm having problems connecting to the Internet. Basically, I am able to connect to some URLs but not others, and it happens in both Firefox and Konquerer. I am able to connect to url, url, url and url with no problems. However, when I try to connect to slashdot.org, url, fedoraforum.org and rpmfusion.org I can not. All the other Windows PCs in my home using the same 2Wire home portal are able to get to the sites using IE with no problem.
I first suspected a DNS issue, but the "host" command returns a valid IP address for all the URLs that I can not reach. Another symptom is that the following command
Code:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh url. url
(from rpmfusion.org/Configuration/) also doesn't work when entered at the command prompt. However, when I did "host download1.rpmfusion.org" and edited the command to use the IP address returned instead of "download1.rpmfusion.org" it worked. But then, the next time I ran "yum" it failed because it couldn't find the rpmfusion.org URL in the installed repository entries.
After reading some other threads, I tried disabling avahi-daemon, but that had no effect. I also tried examining /var/lib/dhcpd and /var/lib/dhclient, but neither file existed on my system.

I'm a newbe with linux, thought it's a great OS but I'm nearly giving up. Nothing works like it should, to copy stupid files across you have to be some kind of wizz to do it.
I installed fresh copy of fedora 13, created folder on the desktop and connected via usb external hd.
Now, there is no way of coping files from my desktop to the USB drive as i get"error while coping to USB-Storage" The destination is read-only. Permissions - sure but there is nothing there sa tehy could not be determined.
Anyway, hoping someone can give me a light from the dark tunnel, so i don't have to go back to windows..

I had Fedora 12 installed on my laptop and everything was working okay.
After making a fresh install of Fedora 14 I can now only access some websites, others cannot be found.
I have spent hours trying to resolve this without success.

Yum is unable to access any packages in the F15 updates repository. When I manually download and browse the repo filename list (http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fed...ateinfo.xml.gz) it seems that the files are listed as being available from the Fedora *5* address, which is obviously incorrect. This issue seems to have been going on for a few weeks now.

I had F15 installed in my hard drive, I liked it very much and everything was going great until I installed that damned XP in another partition (same HDD). Now here is the problem.
This XP does not let me choose the OS I wish to run at the boot-time and just boots itself. I am a beginner with Linux OS.

I am using FC13 with BIND. I have a slave zone setup for my work domain. I can resolve .local FQDNs from the shell using NSLOOKUP but any .local FQDN from an application (GUI or CLI) results in "ping: unknown host". All other domains resolve fine. My guess is there is something with BIND that sees .local as an invalid domain suffix. Is there an option that I need to set/modify to force the resolution of .local entries?

I just updated my kernel to kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64 on my x64 system, after I reboot my machine, the Fedora loading bar comes up and finishes but then no gui comes up. I attempt to issue commands at the hanging prompt that comes up but nothing happens. I can boot into my older kernel just fine but not the updated one.
What can I do?

I've just updated my desktop to F13 using preupgrade but now grub won't boot it. The upgrade seemed to go OK, and none of the disk partitions should have changed as far as I'm aware, but now I get an error

Hello everyone. I switched over to Fedora a little while ago, maybe a month or two, towards the end of when 12 was out. 12 ran just fine, but around when I upgraded to 13 I started experiencing issues. I first upgraded by switching repositories and installing via yum, which seemed to run fine for awhile. However, came to the point where about every other boot (a little more often, actually), the system would crash at the login screen, not allowing me to login. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or other rescue keys don't work- in fact, if the mouse is still working, they freeze the pointer as well.
Finally I decided to get the 13 DVD and re-install. Downloaded, media checked out, ran the install... and I'm still having the same issues. I know I should be providing more info here, but I'm not sure what log files to look for and post here. A few notes of relevance are that I've tried changing the ACPI settings in my BIOS to be as compatible as possible, and also tried booting using noacpi, which doesn't seem to be fixing it- I also have Nouveau installed.
So, what should I do? Anything I need to provide to help troubleshoot, I'll gladly do.

I have a windows PC and a fedora 13 linux box. When connecting to the linux from windows, I'd like to type the hostname instead of the ip address. Apart from setting the hostname, what do I have to do to publish my hostname on the intranet. (set up a nameserver?)
Though hostname works on the linux box, even this fails: nslookup myhostname Also I'm a newbie. I've tried installing some packages like samba and dhcp, using yum...;service chkconfig... and then checking whether nslookup or nmblookup work with my hostname. But it's just guesswork. Under system -> Administration there is no network option. but it is not clear what package is needed to install it, or whether such a thing is supported in fedora 13. I did try system-config-network, but it has few options none of which pertain to hostname resolution. The fedora manuals dont seem to cover it, at least in recognizable plainspeak to me.
