upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 06 Aug '25

06 Aug '25

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

Cleaning up "Preferred Applications" & Desktop Consistency
by Warren Togami 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

A while ago I became annoyed enough by the brokenness of this situation to investigate it seriously. I am now attempting to improve the overall "Preferred Applications" situation, make cleanups and patch individual applications to honor the preferred settings. I hope to stir discussion about further standardization of these aspects of desktop consistency. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If any new or existing Bugzilla reports are related to anything below, please reply to let us know of their locations. 1) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109738 Preferred Applications chooser in the Preferences a.k.a. control-center's gnome-default-applications-properties sets only the http gconf key, while there is also a https and unknown key that should be set. htmlview uses the unknown key while Evolution honors the https key. /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command This key is set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command But these two are not set control-center-2.4.0/capplets/default-applications The relevant code is within this directory. Ray Strode attached a patch that sets https, because he disagrees that "unknown" should also be set. I believe because of the way htmlview currently acts as a catch-all for anything that needs a web browser, that unknown should also be set. (htmlview itself is largely broken, this is discussed later in this message.) 2) need-terminal is the key defined in the gconf schema, but gnome-default-applications-properties sets needs_terminal. Both Ray Strode and I agree that this is a typo. His patch corrects this, and it should be applied to both this package and Gnome CVS. This means that choosing Links in the chooser as a default browser is currently broken due to setting the wrong key name. However I have yet to find a program that actually honors the need-terminal key... 3) On the topic of this gnome-default-applications-properties program, the way the User Interface currently behaves is somewhat confusing to end users. When you first launch it, all options are grayed out and there is no indication if you are using the "Select a Web Browser" or "Custom Web Browser" chooser. This is especially confusing when you have set a custom web browser, close, then open it again, and the two browsers don't match. The user interface needs to be redone in order to reduce end-user confusion. Any takers? 4) Currently gnome-default-applications-properties's choosers have hard coded values for options like Mozilla, Konqueror, Epiphany and other programs. We could do a lot better than this. I propose that we use desktop-agnostic-easy-install definitions for Preferred Applications. We should standardize on a directory named something like /etc/sysconfig/preferred/browser.d within which each package can easily drop definition files. Each definition file can contain values like Label, command, need-terminal, etc. /etc/sysconfig/preferred/mail.d, /etc/sysconfig/preferred/editor.d, /etc/sysconfig/preferred/terminal.d could be the same for mail clients, text editors and terminals respectively. Then applications like "Preferred Applications" can read all definitions from these standardized directories and populate the chooser with all proper flag values. Sane? 5) This brings up the larger question of the need for desktop agnostic configuration for Preferred Applications as KDE does not use gconf. As individual applications are improved to honor the Preferred Applications choice, this completely leaves out the KDE environment especially for users of other distributions that do not unify the user experience between Gnome and KDE like Red Hat/Fedora does. In such cases the user may have only KDE installed, and they may not even have gconf at all, thus the above gconf-based Preferred Applications breaks down. This creates a disconnect where KDE development totally ignores this standard and furthers the divide between the two camps. Otherwise individual applications need to implement two competing standards (this standard, plus one lack-of-standard as KDE does not currently have a notion of Preferred browser). This is a poor situation of greater code & effort duplication, needless added complication and more bugs. Is it too late to go back to the drawing board and agree upon a desktop-agnostic place to configure these things so ANY Linux desktop software can implement it without requiring gconf? During a transition period the Preferred Applications chooser can set BOTH the gconf like previously, and the new standard. Eventually we will phase out all applications that read gconf (which are currently few) and everyone will be happy? 6) gconf /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec contains the value "mozilla" by default along with needs_term, and nremote which was probably meant to mean xremote compatible. This key is untouched by gnome-default-applications-properties and does not seem to be used by anything I can find. Am I correct that this is redundant? Furthermore this lacks consistency, because gnome-default-applications-properties's Terminal chooser sets /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec. 7) gaim Preferred Applications integration implementation I am currently implementing a new default URL handler for gaim called "Preferred Browser". If gaim upstream does not does not accept it as default, Fedora's gaim package can choose this new URL handler as default. Implementation Details: * Due to the brokenness of xremote in all currently released Mozilla-compatible browsers and complication with MozillaThunderbird, some extra care and logic is necessary for proper usage of xremote. xremote's ping() is completely broken while Thunderbird is running, thus a workaround like this is needed from a bash script: exec xremote args && exit 0 Rather than checking if xremote is available, it just goes ahead and to use it. If it fails then it does not "exit 0" then goes to the next line of the script which can launch the browser from scratch. Due to this broken ping() problem, /usr/bin/mozilla script needs fixing. See this Bugzilla report below comment #35. * https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1113 The script launched from gaim would be very similar to the logic used by fedora.us MozillaThunderbird open-browser.sh in this Bugzilla report. 8) htmlview is currently flawed, and furthermore its unknown gconf key behavior is broken due to the above problems with the Preferred Applications chooser. I propose that it be rewritten to use gconf's http key by default, and launch logic similar to the above open-browser.sh. I personally really dislike its current attempt-to-find-any-installed-browser behavior, and IMHO it should behave only in a defined and predictable manner by launching only the Preferred Application. This includes honoring the need-terminal key to launch the preferred terminal if in X. I fully support making text-mode browsers the definable preferred browser in X, as some users like links since it works great with the mouse and it is very fast & lightweight. Should we have a separately definable preferred text-mode browser too? I really question the value of needing to launch a text-mode browser using htmlview in a non-X terminal. I mean really... does anything currently depend on that behavior, and would anyone miss it? Let us please kill that off... 9) After all of the above Preferred Applications mess is cleaned up, I propose that we make the default panel launchers Web Browser and Mail Client to launch the chosen Preferred Applications rather than specifically Mozilla and Evolution. It works great and more importantly 100% predictably. 10) Any other common applications that need patching to honor the Preferred Applications? Let me know and I will attempt to do so. 11) Evolution's clipboard behavior is currently and always has been fatally broken. Reproduce: Copy any block of text with newline formatting from any Evolution window, then paste that into any other window. Big frown! This alone (and the fact that it takes 3-4 minutes for Evolution to start with my 50+ IMAP folders) are why I switched to Thunderbird. We really need to get the clipboard behavior fixed at least. Please find existing Bugzilla reports related to this... they have to exist somewhere... 12) Mozilla, MozillaFirebird and MozillaThunderbird use ALT-A for Select-All within TextAreas and TextBoxes. This is inconsistent with the default keybindings of all other end-user GUI applications in Windows, MacOS and even Linux where CTRL-A acts as Select-All. Even CTRL-A works in non-Text input areas of Mozilla. This is totally inconsistent and needs to be fixed. Anecdotally, I do a lot of LTSP and Linux work with schools indoctrinated by Windows and MacOS. This CTRL-A-fails-to-Select-All behavior is hit VERY OFTEN during while classes use Mozilla. These little annoyances everywhere in our desktop software & integration between applications really add up to a negative feeling toward our software. We need to strive for greater consistency with all end-user applications in areas like keybindings, thus ALT-A for Select-All needs to be changed. Before the kneejerk reaction, let explain how this came to be. CTRL-A is historically the "jump to beginning of line" keybinding in Emacs and command line shells. Thus the Unix hackers much preferred CTRL-A in text input in Netscape to jump to the beginning of the line. Unfortunately this conflicts with the well understood "standard" of CTRL-A being Select-All known by all non-Unix-hackers, and is the standard keybinding of the vast majority of applications in Linux. Earlier versions of Mozilla even said "CTRL-A" in the Edit menu as the keybinding for Select-All, which did not match the behavior. When this was pointed out by many users, somebody upstream simply changed the string to read "ALT-A". I complained about this several times before but was shot down as NOTABUG by Unix hackers. I wont go as far as to claim that they were biased. =) Fortunately, recently Christopher Blizzard confirmed that this is indeed a bug, because Mozilla should be using gtk2's defaults rather than its own hard coded defaults. If you look at gtk2 applications like gedit, CTRL-A acts as Select-All. This is true of most other gtk2 applications and all KDE applications. Blizzard said that gtk2 has options that allow you to set this Windows-like behavior, and there is the option to change all keybindings to be Unix-like globally (where is this setting?). Thus Mozilla needs to adhere to this configuration option and properly use CTRL-A for Select-All by default. Knee-jerk reaction Unix people who liked the old behavior can toggle the gtk2 option and get back the old behavior. More generally we should make it a standard that all end-user applications adhere to these common keybindings. Web browsers like Mozilla *definitely* are end-user applications. This standard of course does not mandate that developer applications with a tradition of a different keybinding be changed, so of course Emacs and bash continue to work as they do today. Is this sane? 13) In the name of end-user application consistency, Konqueror could use some extra key-bindings by default to make it behave like Mozilla. The following do not conflict with current Konqueror defaults. CTRL-W Close current tab. CTRL-+ Larger font. CTRL-- Smaller font. Other common Mozilla keybindings conflict with already defined Konqueror bindings, and I really don't feel it is worth the emotional & political fight to ask that they change. Any active KDE developers here? Could you please get these checked-in so it can be in KDE 3.2? RH/Fedora will not apply this change, and we will only have it if upstream applies it. Please confirm in a reply when it has been submitted. Can anyone think of other common Mozilla keybindings that could be easy to integrate? Thanks, Warren Togami warren(a)togami.com

Mouse related issue
by Alan 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

I have a ps/2 scroll mouse and a kvm. If I switch to another session to do something, is screws up the mouse quite bad. In Redhat 9 I would just bring up the redhat mouse configure app and it would reset the mouse. That does not work in Fedora any more. What is the correct way to reset the mouse? I want to write an app that I can bind to a keypress in X. Also, is there going to be a config app to change mouse cursors in Gnome? -- "Push that big, big granite sphere way up there from way down here! Gasp and sweat and pant and wheeze! Uh-oh!

gconfd-2 does not exit when a user log out, breaks unmounting home
by W. Michael Petullo 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

I have been having some trouble with gconfd-2 (currently using GConf2-2.4.0 from RawHide PPC) for quite some time. I tried to get some discussion going on Red Hat's Bugzilla quite a while ago but nothing really came of it. I'd be willing to work on a patch, but I'd like to come to consensus on the technique we should use to fix the problem. I thought perhaps I would try this forum. The gconfd-2 daemon is run by many GNOME applications to manage configurations. Gconfd-2 remains running for some time after the application which used it quits. This allows other applications to use gconfd-2 without having to start and stop the daemon too much. This is a good idea. The problem comes when a system tries to unmount a user's home directory when the user logs out. For example, pam_mount unmounts an encrypted home directory then I log out of my system. Other people use NFS or other means to mount home directories. Gconfd-2 continues to run even when a user logs out. This causes the unmounting of the user's home directory to fail because gconfd-2 keeps the following files open: /home/user/.gconfd/saved_state In addition, when using GNOME 2.4, there are four new programs that seem to hang around unwelcome for a second after logging out (at least they are still around when PAM session closing code is run). This is partially documented in bug #106826. The four programs are: bonobo-activation-server (home direcotry remains open as CWD?) gnome-settings-daemon (home direcotry remains open as CWD?) xscreensaver -nosplash (home direcotry remains open as CWD?) mapping-daemon (home direcotry remains open as CWD?) Red Hat Bugzilla bugs #67605, #75895 and #106826 comment more on this problem. -- Mike

Perl 5.8.2 in Rawhide
by Chip Turner 14 Feb '04

14 Feb '04

Perl 5.8.2 has been built in Rawhide. It has an initial attempt at binary compatibility when embedded in previous perl's, but I'd recompile anything embedding perl "just in case." Mainly this is mod_perl, xchat2, and gaim these days, IIRC. Perl modules should work fine as-is. mod_perl also should now be 1.99_11, the upstream latest. Let me know if anything is broken. 5.8.2 and 1.99_11 probably both work on FC1, too. In fact, if people would like to help test that, once we see that it is stable, I'd like to errata it into FC1, assuming there is enough demand and enough testing :) Chip -- Chip Turner cturner(a)redhat.com Red Hat, Inc.

An introduction of the new cheerleader...
by Cristian Gafton 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

Hello folks, As you are aware from his earlier message, Michael Johnson has decided to move on and I have assumed the top level responsibilities for the Fedora Project. Michael has been a great asset for us (where "us" = Red Hat and the Fedora Project) and I would like to thank him for his efforts and the progress made in these past months. A good part of this progress has not been obvious to the outside world, but I know that there were a lot of logistical hurdles and behind-the-scenes requirements cleared by Michael in his time as the top Fedora wearer - which in turn will make my job that much easier. I would like to thank him for his dedication to this project. Good luck to you, Michael! So, who am I? I have joined Red Hat in the summer of 1997 and I have "climbed the corporate ladder" from an OS engineer to the Manager of OS Development - those "old enough" will probably remember me from those days. I then moved and started about three years ago the Red Hat Network engineering group, where I have been acting as the Director of RHN until about a year ago. In this past year, as a Red Hat Fellow, I have been known to hold strong opinions in front of various CxOs from the Red Hat's Executive team (/me tips the hat :-), while participating in various small internal projects as time permitted. And now, with Fedora, the cycle is completed and I have my chance to redeem myself for some of the things I have done during my first stint as the dude responsible for building a distribution... ;^) I think it is important for everybody to realize that although Fedora is going at this moment through a change in leadership, there will be no change in the strategic direction and goals set by Red Hat and the Steering Committee when the project was started. And because that saves me from having to come up with a new grandiose plan ;-), I will dedicate my immediate time on some of the tasks that need to be addressed with urgency. In no particular order (since all these are qualify as "top priority"), I will attempt to make happen in the shortest possible time: - Fedora developer and contributor forms. These include things like establishing qualifications, credentials and requirements for issuing various accounts and access levels - in short the formal aspect of getting those interested the "commit" access to Fedora Project bits; - Installation of a CVS server and associated repositories as the primary interface for the developers. I am still in the process of reviewing the specifics of this plan, but I can share at this point that there will be two main categories of packages/projects served from this machine to our contributors (and here is the answer to a popular FAQ): - the internally maintained packages will be mirrored read-only so that external contributors can track our progress, review our changes and replicate our progress on their own systems without waiting for updates from Red Hat. - the externally maintained packages will allow read/write access to particular contributors ("owners"). We're finalizing the implementation of this server, and we'll get it online in a relatively short time. Yes, the web site promised this "before the end of 2003". That means we're behind and I personally don't like at all being behind the schedule... - We're going to start building and deploying the necessary pieces for a build system that supports Fedora and its collaborative development paradigm. This is going to be closely linked and interfaced with the CVS server. I know some people have already proposed/implemented proof of concepts for this, and I will engage them in more detailed discussions in the next week (as I hunt them down in the mailing list archives, unless they choose to make contact with me first). I realize that there is no shortage of people interested and willing to test-drive each of these pieces. I would like to thank you for your patience to date and I promise you that shortly you will have plenty of stuff to sink your teeth into... In other words, my immediate attention is dedicated to the issue of physical and logistical infrastructure that would get the most developers contributing the fastest to the whole project. So, what are your expectations of this infrastructure? I can not make promises, but I know that reading your opinions will be a good opportunity to understand how relevant our current plans are. As I come up to speed on various other bits and issues in the project, I will attempt to address those as well. I will try to capture all this into a general project-level TODO list on the web site to keep folks informed where we are on various issues, what kind of progress is being made or what's holding up the expected progress. For the future I hold the hope that we will build not only a great project, but that we will have the chance of building strong relationships as well. Excited, terrified, worried and hopeful - I am looking forward to it, Cristian -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cristian Gafton -- gafton(a)redhat.com -- Red Hat, Inc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "There are two kinds of people who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told, and those who can do nothing else." --Cyrus Curtis

release candidate zsh configs
by Eric Hattemer 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

The zsh config files in http://isd.usc.edu/~ehatteme/zsh/zshetc.tar.bz2 (link of ./zsh-etc-1-30-01PST.tar.bz2) are ready for submission. I just cleaned them up a little bit since the 1-26 version. The only file that is different from the original is /etc/zshrc. It may be better to split the changes up into the other files, but I don't fully understand the standard for what changes go into which file. Its probably not critical, and zshrc seems like a good place to put them. I would like to remove /etc/skel/.zshrc because it is not expected that someone will install zsh before adding users. All it does is source /etc/profile, which I moved into /etc/zshrc. If there are no suggestions or objections that haven't been added yet, Warren will notify Petersen, the zsh maintainer, he will review the files, modify them as necessary, and put them into the next fedora zsh release. Please look these over, decide if there is anything strange, lacking documentation, incompatible, or non-standard, or if you have better preferences. -Eric Hattemer
