Good evening Fedora Gurus, I have been tasked to provide active xdmcp sessions to windows users running Exceed on their systems. Yet, I do not have any idea about where to begin. Could somebody guide this lost soul? The Fedora system is FC4 with all the latest updates.

That makes much more sense in the world of packagers selling bundles and support than it does to a developer willing to give his work away. If you give something away, why wouldn't you want it to be used in every possible way that is useful to someone (more or less the *bsd philosophy)? On the other hand if you are selling support of you have a vested interest in keeping something better than your own package from becoming easily available. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 13:58:30 -0800 From: Gerhard Magnus <magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: yum problem To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <1137707910.3400.8.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain Hello All, I've found most problems updating using yum resolve themselves within a few days.

It's pretty abnormal to need 100us resolution in timing, especially in a "sloppy scheduling environment" like that provided by the standard Linux kernels. Ask yourself whether you really really need that, or if you don't have a design masquerading as requirements. What does this timing requirement stem from? Surely there is some reason for its existence. That is probably a real requirement. See if you can accomplish the same result without needing stringent timing.

Or do you have to poll it to see if it ready ? In both cases it is highly unlikely that you can do that with a standard kernel, since you will only have a small < 100us window to get your sample, and in the normal kernel there can be latencies of op to several 100ms so you would lose like 1000 or more samples. I suggest you look at the RTAI project and reask your question on their mailing list, cause data acquisition is not that special and people using RTAI use it a lot. The principle in your case would be a realtime task with a latency less than the valid sample window that puts the values in a FIFO, and than another less critical task to do "something" with those values. - Erwin ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 14:24:06 -0800 (PST) From: Rickey Moore <wayward4now@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: black screen with nVidia ia32 driver and GEForce 6150 To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20060119222406.65427.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" David Niemi <drn_temp2@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > xvidtune is your friend.

Iptables is a separate program with the executable in /sbin or /usr/sbin. You will find an init script in /etc/init.d. If you look at it you will see the prerequisite start, stop, restart, and status. The reasons iptables will not start are the same as any other daemon or program; 1) bad script starting it 2) Bad rule set 3) location of executable not where expected, corrupt, or not installed. 4) myriad of others reasons. Try these 1) rpm -qv iptables 2) yum install iptables (or download the proper rpm and manually refresh or install) rpm -Uvh iptables*.rpm ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 16:38:01 -0600 From: Les Mikesell <lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: X To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <1137710281.3936.118.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain On Thu, 2006-01-19 at 16:12, Chris Norman wrote: > Hi mate, I have the VNC client, that's working fine. > > I made the changes to xorg.conf, but nothing seems to have happened.

Logging out at the console would do it, or hitting control-alt-backspace at the console. From a remote connection, doing an 'init 3' followed by an 'init 5' as root should do it.

The best way may simply be to trigger a read in a device driver, then just hang and wait for 100us or until the sample is ready. If your time budget is not too stringent, this may work ok. If you need to read the A/D say every 100ms, then eating 100us/100ms is not too much load. Are there any other devices which cannot accept a 100us interrupt latency? IOW, will you blow some other time constraint, even though the CPU load may not be too great using this technique?

Either I can not type or I am just not doing something exactly correctly. Or maybe it is not possible anymore. Sometimes the rpm database would get stuck with two listings of the same package and one is -1 number higher in version. Or .1 higher. There WAS a way to get RPM to ONLY show the duplicate packages that had different version numbers. Not all of them with the duplicates listed together in a long list. This duplicate problem would cause dependency problems. The older version could then be rpm -e <old packagename/number> by looking at the list and that would solve this problem. -- David ------------------------------ Message: 18 Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 16:58:22 -0700 From: Guy Fraser <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Fedora Core 3 Transferred to Fedora Legacy To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <1137715102.4159.223.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain On Tue, 2006-17-01 at 14:35 +0800, John Summerfied wrote: > Rahul Sundaram wrote: > > Hi > > > >>> and responsibility to contribute.

With the nightmare I went through getting FC3 installed and the reported problems installing FC4 seeming trivial in comparison, I have not wanted to chance it. I have tried FC5t2 and it is a little fussy but I was able to get it to install. I also intend on moving straight from FC3 to FC5. I have great hopes for FC5 and appreciate the hard work done by the developers. ------------------------------ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list End of fedora-list Digest, Vol 23, Issue 206 ********************************************
