some wiki's for fedora (gnome 2.5, kernel 2.6, buid rpm etc)

Okay, I have restored the wiki and the homepage (freax.be) on the same
server, still is this location very temporary.

The move of the domain is still planned within two weeks and it's
possible that both the wiki and the domain can go down at any time
between now and two weeks.

So if you have information (from the wiki) or the entire domain that you
want to keep for sure: get it now :)

ps in the week when the new Garnome is released I will update the guide that everyone can compile gnome 2.5 ithout a problem :)

[lupus]

I had hoped that someone could at an section to the wiki for

- NVIDIA nforce
- NVIDIA gfx
- ATI gfx

for kernel 2.6 this would help a lot off people

[lupus]

My free hosting stopped.
So until I find a new host, the wiki's will be offline

same problem in mozilla, IMHO is a server rewrite rule problem...

k I put my guide up again somewhere else enjoy people :)

you can always add some interresting stuff if you want :)

[cybrjackle]

I built garnome in the past and there is something different about the garnome-session part, I cant seem to get mine to show up when I use:

[code:1]cd /etc/X11/dm/Sessions
cp gnome.desktop garnome.desktop
sed -e 's/GNOME/GARNOME/g' < gnome.desktop > garnome.desktop[/code:1]

I get the following error:

[code:1]# sed -e 's/GNOME/GARNOME/g' < gnome.desktop > garnome.desktop
sed: -e expression #1, char 19: Unterminated address regex
[/code:1]

I thought the original was setup different?

[lupus]

it should be:
cd /etc/X11/dm/Sessions
cp gnome.desktop garnome.desktop
sed -e 's/GNOME/GARNOME/g' < gnome.desktop > garnome.desktop

I corrected it on the wiki mirror
the fault is not on freax.be

thk you for telling me this :)

[cybrjackle]

thx,

I will try it when i get home from work in 8-10 hours ;(

Just to give people an idea, it compiled in 98 minutes on an over clocked xp-2500 with the following CFLAGS:

-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer

I'm doing it at work with a p3@733 right now, but I doubt it will be done anytime soon ;)

Also, just adding

bzip2-devel
mozilla-1.6

Compiled perfect! The last one I did, I had to fix it umpteen times for it to finish!

[cybrjackle]

I was able to get garnome to fire up with your changes, but it nautilus crashed around 10x's. I cleaned it out this morning and i'm doing it with out the added CFLAGS to see if it makes a differnece.

The p3 compiled in real 452m6.477s

Hey

I am getting the following when I reboot my 2.6.1 kernel:

e2fsck 1.34 (25-Jul-2003)
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdb1

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

The partition is an ext3 partition. When i run the command the error message just keeps on coming. When I comment out the partition then the kernel loads just fine and of course when I boot the 2.4.22 kernel it mounts the partition just fine.

Any ideas?

[lupus]

try bugzilla.redhat.com or fedora devel mailing list

I have no problems

Sorry, i forgot to reply back to you. I've used garnome in the past so i know it is unstable ;-) but it works fine as long as i don't get crazy with the CFLAGS...
