If you check FC4 /var/log/audit/audit.log, you will probably see that SELinux isn't allowing smbd to access that directory. Can you post part of audit.log around the time access is attempted, and also the security attributes on the directories? ls -lZ /media ls -lZ /media/media

Re: [Wlug] Bluetooth hardware recomendations

I got one for my Linux box and while it works, the access to my Motorola v505 sucks, at least it used to, I haven't tried it recently. But the bluetooth stack stuff is a pain to work with at times. Also, you either want to plug the USB bluetooth dongle directly into a powered USB port, or into a hub with power. I'd tell you which one I got, but it's plugged into a non-powered hub and not showing up with lsusb right now. Karl> I will probably buy a USB or PCMCIA interface.

problems with smb export on external usb drive

by Jim Dibb

I had a drive with an ext3 filesystem in an old p2 running RH8 storing my mp3 files. I moved the drive into a USB enclosure attached to a laptop running FC4. The laptop mounted the fs on /media/media pretty much automatically. The problem is I can't export the /media/media FS with samba to mount on a windows host. I can export /media, and the xp box can see /media/cdrecorder, but /media/media is invisible. I have the following in various config files: from mount: automount(pid2427) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2427,minproto=2,maxproto=4) /dev/sda1 on /media/media type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,_netdev,user=jim) in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /media/media ext3 pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 ls: [root@linuxlaptop /]# ls -al /media total 32 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 5 21:32 . drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Mar 5 11:13 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 5 11:14 cdrecorder drwxrwxrwx 247 root root 8192 Mar 1 09:29 media in smb.conf: ( I did have /media/media) [media] path = /media writeable = yes browseable = yes valid users = jim in /var/logs/samba/ (when path above was /media/media) [2006/02/28 21:03:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(615) '/media/media' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [media] Since I have a copy of the files on my xp box now, I was thinking of destroying the fs and recreating it, then putting all the data back. I just find it very strange that with the above smb.conf, I can mount /media as media on my xp box and I can see the cdrecorder directory but I can't see the media directory. Any advice on what might be wrong? Thanks.

All the source for Fedora is shipped per requirement of the GPL and other licenses. Read the release notes to see why Fedora no longer ships 2 copies of the kernel source and what replaced it. > I downloaded and installed <kernel-2.6.15-1.1833_FC4.src.rpm>. kernel-devel contains the part you need to compile 3rd party drivers. yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r`

Re: Help with Fedora Core3 -> Core4

by Ken Jones

Got it! Remember Open Sound System stopped working when I went from Core3 to Core4? Now it works. I had also upgraded the kernel. This was a problem because OSS needs to compile with the kernel. I missed some of the modules needed for a successful compilation. The system would not work with ALSA. I think my sound card is unique for some reason. ALSA needed to be disabled before OSS would work. OSS help desk Dev Mazumdar was very helpful. Thanks, you all, for being there. Ken Jones

I have two different SBlive (emu10k1) models and both work with either the OSS or ALSA drivers.

The src.rpm isn't really what you want here... You want the kernel-devel package. If you have yum set up, just yum install kernel-devel. There was a a time when "all you needed" to build kernel modules was in the kernel rpm but iirc people complained about the size so it got split out. > > Since then I have been thrashing around without success.
