Which drivers are not found in the FC3 in your system ?
Try to describe in detail if you want to get a detailed solution of the problem you are facing.
Regards.

I recently "installed" grip and because I needed the library, Acrobat Reader.
Now when I click on grip, nothing happens. When I try it in terminal, I get:
grip: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi,
I m trying to use yum on FC3 but its not working
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
rpm --import public.gpg.key
For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How to correct it,, command that it says to execute also doesnot work....
i think i have to make somchanges in a file related to yum.. but i dunno which file is this .. if somebody knows abt this then pls reply.

P.S. I did not cp (copy) the files and I did create a symbolic link (ln -s ) to the .so file as described, as without success. So I really think this is more difficult then it needs to be, but admittedly it may just be me. Thanks in advance for info./replies.

I am trying to get the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to work in Firefox 1.0.6 ((Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.6)). I tried the "Click Here to Install Plugins" and was deceived by the click "Finish" and restart Firefox to complete the process messages. Nothing appeared to change, and I even restarted the entire system to see if I missed something. Next I did the "Manual Install" and followed those instructions TO THE LETTER; still nothing. What gives? Adding a simple Plugin shouldn't be this difficult! IMHO that is where Fedora, or the Linux community at large, will need to make the most progress in order to capture a larger audience/user base.
Also, I wish there were a Fedora (or Linux) configuration analyzer which could "draw a picture" of the installed components, libraries, repositories, and/or whatnot in order to help us (novices) "see" what is wrong with our setups. It shouldn't be that difficult for someone to create such a "tool" or recommend it as a "must have" feature for future releases, but I won't hold my breath seeing as Microsoft doesn't have such a tool either! (I always found their Caution/Attention and Dead/Not Responding Control Panel symbols to be only marginally helpful. Sorry, I don't mean to whine.

In response to George, your post is incoherent. It's not clear what kind of problem you're having. What do you mean that you "can't get grub to work"? Grub should go in the MBR of your 250G drive, most likely. You haven't made your partition scheme very clear. Furthermore, you DUAL boot 2 OS's, and you can't REBUILD WINDOWS because it's not open source, I assume you mean either REBOOT or REINSTALL.
18-May-2005 23:07
Well, I have a question .. it has to do with Duel Booting windows XP and fedora core 3 on a Sata Drive.. I have to keep windows running on this pc for Work use (yuk).
my main drive is partition is 50 gigs of a 250 gig drive .. I installed a 20 Gig IDE just for fedora. I have no problems installing on the 20gig but then I can not find a way to get grub to work. I also created a 19 gig partition on my main sata drive in front of windows, that still did not work.
So after rebuilding windows again for hmmmm 9th time lol. I am back to fedora on my 20 ide master. Is there something I am missing ? Thank you
11-May-2005 15:46
Thank you for the tip about getting nautilus to always open as a browser...that was the one annoyance that kept me from completely switching to Gnome. :)

Thank you very much. Following your list I was able to install all of these wonderful packages. Keep up the good work! Your help is appreciated. *
20-Mar-2005 01:53
To titfuk & shantesh: you are trying to install the mp3-plugin from the official fedora packages (base and updates) which don't contain this plugin. enable the freshrpms repository as described above and then run the yum command again. good luck!
18-Mar-2005 12:23
I need help! I see somebody already posted this comment, but I dont see any response (maybe it was emailed or something). Anyway I have Fedora Core 3 installed on about 5 machines right now and I have a lot of inconsistencies when installing plugins, the mp3 plugin particularly. On 3 of my boxes, the plugin installs with ease, on the other 2 I got this response:

add to last comment. i found out up2date works in terminal
01-Mar-2005 08:59
Hello, thank you for this wonderful site. I am very glad to have my dvd player playing dvds correctly now. I have one problem though. Since installing a bunch of updates using up2date, i have not been able to open up some system settings under Desktop in Gnome, also when Gnome starts up, it stops when its starting redhat network and up2date will also no longer start. One, how do you disable starting redhat network, or at least get it working properly? Two, why am I not able to start system settings anymore? Thanks a million. Chris.

Here's GMPlayer tip that I have yet to find anywhere else and I hope more people read this.
I have had the damndest time trying to get some videos to play and I was supposed to have had the correct codec files installed. Well as it turned out, that wasn't the case. I, like so many others, prefer to stick with RPM and stay within that framework. Well apparantly, the codec RPMs (if you can even find them) do not install in a place where GMplayer wants to find them and the binaries I found want them in a place not documented elsewhere.
First I will tell you how I found where it wants them. Instead of running the program with a mouse in the GUI, do it from a command line. Why? Because you will get to see error messages that scroll by. So by running gmplayer from the command line I was able to see that it wanted to find a codec file in /usr/lib/win32. But I read elsewhere that they should be in /usr/lib/codecs and somewhere else still, /usr/local/lib/codecs. So I put all the codec files in /usr/lib/codecs and then created a simlink (ln -s ...) to /usr/lib/win32. Now my gmplayer can find the codecs. Pass it on and may others not have the trouble I did.

MP3 BURNING
Add the package k3b-mp3 if you plan to burn mp3s to audio CD with k3b. Livna has it and it's needed dependencies.
yum install k3b-mp3 should do the trick if livna is in your /etc/yum.conf file.
Cheers.

You don't have to go to the gconf editor to set the browser behaviour in nautilus. Launch nautilus go to edit -> preferences, click on the Behaviour tab and check the "Always open in browser windows".
As for mixing repositories, according to Dag Wieers it should be safe to use his repo, freshrpms, dries, planetccrma, and newrpms. http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#D

Here's a page on using gstreamer and it's frontends like totem and rhythmbox
http://mpeters.us/linux/fc3_gstreamer.php
A handy yum tool I found is called Yum Extender, it can be found at :

Rhythmbox crashes after trying to play mp3s. To solve this cosmic caper start gstreamer-properties and change the default sink from ALSA to something else like OSS.

Hi,
It's been three months since i started working with linux. Thanks to sites like this one the transition from windows to fedora was made bearable.
There is another site which helped me a great deal:
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_3_installation_notes.html
Please take a look because it solves a lot problems discussed on this site.
05-Jan-2005 04:27
thanks, the freshrpms idea was great! btw, could you possibly change the font style for the comments to something other than 'Courier', just monospace perhaps? it renders horribly in firefox/linux.
03-Jan-2005 12:00
Excellent site. Found it very helpfull.
I have two questions that someone may be able to help me with:
1) Is anyone else having trouble installing the NVidia driver? I am using the following command "yum install kernel-module-nvidia-`uname -r`-1.0.6629".
I am running kernel 2.6.9-1.681 and get an error saying there is no NVidia driver for this kernel. (I am using the "rpm.livna.org" yum repositories.)
2) With all the ACPI advances in the new kernel, does anyone know if it is possible to configure a hard drive to suspend after say 20 minutes idle time?

For CD/DVD burnig I am now using under KDE K3B.
I have just bougt a TEAC DVD-R/RW 16x. It did not worked under
win2000 with Cyberlink software (I had to reinsall win2k and with Nero all worked). I did not get any problem under FC3 with K3B software.
I am just coming from installing VLC software for playing DVD and also this software works fine (tryied with Mary Poppins DVD).
Have a greet 2005.

An update about my Cruzer mini USB memory stick is in order. It now works, as far as mounting even with haldaemon running. Occasionally it will not, and when it won't, it won't -- have to reboot to get it to work.
Whether it was the udev update or that combined with others is unclear.

Hi,
For CD Burning:
Get the latest "cdrecord" rpm and then "xcdroast". Without any extra setup you get cd burning without scsi emulation or all that other stuff.
xcdroast takes a little getting used to, but it's not too hard to learn and it can do a lot! The only weird thing is fedora puts it's launcher under "System Tools".
24-Dec-2004 00:25
Greg - I guess you have upgraded from the Toshiba 1115-S103? Well, good for you. I am still using the S103.
I thought I would share with you and your readers my ndiswrapper setup. In my opinion, this is the most "Fedora Friendly" way to use ndiswrapper. I'm using it with Fedora Core 3 on my S103 with a Linksys WPC54G.
These first steps apply when initially installing ndiswrapper with FC3 (in my case, the kernel was version 2.6.9-1.667). My driver tarball is located at ~/download/ndiswrapper, and my Windows .inf and .sys files are located at ~/download/ndiswrapper/driver. If you have a more recent kernel, adjust the kernel version appropriately in the following steps:
ndiswrapper:
build and install driver:
su
cd /tmp/
tar xvzf ~/download/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-0.12.tar.gz
cd ndiswrapper-0.12/
make rpm 2>&1 | tee make.rpm.1
cd ~/download/ndiswrapper/
mv /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/ndiswrapper-0.12-1.src.rpm .
mv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ndiswrapper-* .
rpm -ivh ndiswrapper-kernel-2.6.9-1.667-0.12-1.i386.rpm ndiswrapper-0.12-1.i386.rpm 2>&1 | tee ndiswrapper.1
ndiswrapper -i driver/lsbcmnds.inf
ndiswrapper -l
modprobe ndiswrapper
configure system:
echo "\
options ndiswrapper if_name=eth1
alias eth1 ndiswrapper" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig
"System Settings/Network" utility
add new "Wireless connection" (via "New" button)
choose obvious selections and accept defaults
(except choose "Auto" for SSID and check the "Activate
device when computer starts" button)
save settings and exit utility (no 'activate' necessary)
rmmod ndiswrapper
service network restart
- insert card
should automatically load module start interface, but may
require an initial 'modprobe ndiswrapper'
At this point, the driver has been installed and is using 'eth1' as the interface for for the card, which is what allows the fedora Network configuration utility to 'see' the interface. In addition, the system will "boot up on the network" when the wireless card is installed at power-on, and will also automatically bring the wireless interface up if the card is inserted after boot-up. Finally, this method is an rpm-oriented install which some may prefer (I certainly do).
Unfortunately, as you noted, whenever the kernel is updated we have to build and install another ndiswrapper kernel module. Since the 'make rpm' performed earlier created a source rpm, the process is simplified:
rebuild ndiswrapper module
su
cd ~/download/ndiswrapper
rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686-fedora-linux-gnu ndiswrapper-0.12-1.src.rpm 2>&1 | tee ndiswrapper.rebuild.2.6.9-1.681_FC3.1
mv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/ndiswrapper-* .
rpm -ivh ndiswrapper-kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3-0.12-1.i686.rpm 2>&1 | tee ndiswrapper-kernel.2.6.9-1.681_FC3.1
service network restart
So, once I have booted a new kernel, I can have my wireless card up and running in about two minutes. This looks complicated, but it is actually pretty straightforward; I have just tried to spell out every necessary step. Finally, I have indented the steps above to make things clear, but I don't know if this post will preserve my formatting; also, pay close attention to the line breaks (it might help to maximize your browser window).

Excellent work on this, very good tips on how to make an already good distribution even better. One thing you might want to include on this FC3 page, which you had on your FC2 page, is the creation of /dev/dvd when installing Xine, by symbolically linking from /dev/hdx. I had to perform this, and then change the permissions on /dev/hdx so that a non-root user could read from the device.
Good work!
13-Dec-2004 17:26
Great resource. Everything worked for me like a charm. I, and I am sure many others, appreciate you sharing your knowledge to allow us all to get our FC3 systems up and running as true desktop machines.
Well done and I hope you keep up the good work with all the new releases of Fedora Core.

The following works for me to burn a CD
cdrecord --scanbus
cdrecord -v dev=ATA:1,0,0 -eject -speed=4 image.iso
===
cdrdao scanbus
cdrdao read-cd --device ATA:1,0,0 --driver generic-mmc image.toc
cdrdao write --device ATA:1,0,0 --driver generic-mmc --speed 4 --eject image.toc
or
cdrdao read-cd --device ATAPI:1,0,0 --driver generic-mmc image.toc
cdrdao write --device ATAPI:1,0,0 --driver generic-mmc --speed 4 --eject image.toc
Use of ATA is preferred over ATAPI.
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
Warning: The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained.
Warning: There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow.
===
ADD /dev/ LINKS
miss /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd ??
On my system any links I make in /dev/ disappear when I re-boot - so I put it somewhere it can be re-created every boot :)
add to top (approx. line 18) of /etc/rc.sysinit or bottom of /etc/rc.local
# ADD /dev/ LINKS (you will probably need other links depending on your hardware)
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/dvd

Here are some things that could prevent some headaches during and after FC3 install:
1. There is a problem with mediacheck with the 2.6 kernels, that affects media checking and installing. Typically what will happen is that you burn your FC3 disks, and Disk 1 will pass, the others will fail. The workaround, documented in fedora-list, is to start the installation with the option 'ide=nodma'. This should allow your disks to pass, and also prevent a crash during install.
2. I had a problem getting my USB memory stick (Cruzer mini) to mount in FC3, even though it was working fine with the 2.6.9 FC2 kernels. What worked for me was to use chkconfig to shut off the haldaemon: 'chkconfig --level 345 haldaemon off'. You have to be root for this. You will need the appropriate line in fstab to be able to mount your memory stick.
06-Dec-2004 05:09
i use X-cdroast on my laptop TP R40 with FC3. The CD-writer is HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4240N. It works fine, burnt more then 10 CDs upto now.
05-Dec-2004 01:26
Thanx a lot guys. Good work. Keep it up.
03-Dec-2004 23:48
Thanks for your site it has been nearly 100% responcible for the people I've gotten converted from Windows. Oh and I'm the other person on the planet that likes the up2date icon and wouldn't run without it. Has anyone give a reason for not using it besides not being "133t"?
Personally I've been running up2date with both livna & dag trouble free since FC2 and I found yor site.
02-Dec-2004 09:04
Updating the kernel to 2.6.8 and above fixes any burning issues. Using the supplied kernel from the up2date sources will resolve this.
28-Nov-2004 17:06
You can add this to
apt fedora-us-stable-fc3 http://download.fedora.us fedora/fedora/3/i386 os
to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
to have access to fc3 apt repository
27-Nov-2004 18:36
great for newbies like me. thanks a lot, particularly for the mp3 tips.
25-Nov-2004 06:22
There is a bug in FC3 (bugzilla bug number 132761) that is preventing a lot of machines from actually powering off when shutdown is called.
Using acpi=ht on a CPU that is not hyperthreading is equivalent to using acpi=off (and can hurt some cpu's according to reports in the bug comments).
Thanks for this guide! I have bookmarked it and am using it as a checklist to "properly" configure all the FC3 machines I install.
25-Nov-2004 01:21
I just switched from mandrake to fedora had some issues with the mp3 feature missing and some other common problems. I greatly appreciate the help your site offered and was wondering how you would feel about me distributing shell scripts to automate the parts that can be automated. These would be based off your guides and you would recieve acknowledgement. Anyways shoot me an email.
Draven
23-Nov-2004 22:37
Thank you. Excellent guide.
In the shutdown section "like" should be "line".
In the macromedia apt url "2" should be "3"
22-Nov-2004 14:16
Under the "MP3 Plugin" section, you might add the K3b mp3 plugin:
yum -y install k3b-mp3
This is useful if you want to create audio CDs from MP3 files. Unfortunately, K3b gives an unhelpful error message if this package is not installed.
Nice page!
20-Nov-2004 11:59
Fantastic guide, saves me a lot of faffing around!
By the by, you can use totem for DVD playing, although it requires the xinelib, there's a decss rpm and libdvdread rpm out there somewhere, those will be required too. This could be worth adding into the guide. Personally I find all the gnome stuff to be the nicest. If only Rhythmbox wasn't so bad...! Could be worth putting into the guide.
19-Nov-2004 06:39
I found out how to fix that. If you get that error, you need to install the compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2 rpm. That did the trick for me.
19-Nov-2004 05:55
I cannot get Real Player to work, when I install it on Fedora Core 3, it installs fine, but when I try to launch from command line, I get the following error:
$ realplay
/usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any ideas why?
18-Nov-2004 21:58
I'm still having a problem with the xine stuff - the gpg key
How do I fix this?
18-Nov-2004 18:21
Fantastic site, just what the doctor ordered. I'm not a complete n00b, but I love stuff that just works without too much effort. Thanks does not say enough. Keep up the good work!
:-)
ps It might be useful for xine installs if users are added to the disk group. My install required this for non-root playback of dvds.
17-Nov-2004 17:36
Great site. You saved me a lot of time. On installing Xine and the other components, I had problems with the GPG key. This key seemed to do the trick:

http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/linux-ntfs/kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.9-1.667-2.1.20-0.fc.1.2.i686.rpm is not a real mirror, it's a jump-to-page. Therefor it will not work if you use it that way. http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/linux-ntfs/kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.9-1.667-2.1.20-0.fc.1.2.i686.rpm would, for example, work but it's possible that these mirrors move.
So for the sake of helping newbie people, I'd change the technical info you provided here to a plain: download it first using your browser and then install it :-)

The site above has some good supplimental info, and takes a slightly different approach. The font install mentioned there is quite useful.
For THIS site, I'd like to mention that that the "-y" argument to yum in the examples above is used inconsitantly. "-y" answers Yes to any questions (usually, would you like to download dependancies, questions). It is O.K. to answer yes to these questions.
