Problems installing rawhide and reporting thereof
by Dax Kelson
I understand the guts of Anaconda are changing to use yum and that it is
being actively worked on. Given that, are bug reports useful/wanted?
I tried installing Oct 25th rawhide on my Thinkpad T42p using the
images/boot.iso and a NFS shared rawhide tree.
I noticed two problems:
1. X failed to start (all three attempts) with the following error in
the various X.log files:
[snip]
Synaptics no synaptics event device found (checked 10 nodes)
Synaptics The /dev/input/event* device nodes seem to be missing
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) Synaptics no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) Synaptics Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics"
No core pointer
Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices
[snip]
I tried plugging in a usb mouse, but the same error still happened.
2. Skipping X and trying either a VNC or text mode install quickly
resulted in failure with a python traceback in yum code, I think it was
the "MDrepo" class or something close to that.

Thanks for the info. With mbstring installed everything seems to work
now. Perhaps a warning in configtest if mbstring is not present would be
a good idea ?

Installing RealPlayer on FC+FE devel x86_64
by Nicolas Mailhot
Hi,
I've just spent some hours in deep hell trying to install RealPlayer on
a Fedora Devel x86_64 box. It was a long time I haven't been in such
trouble and I must say I do very well without it. So I thought it would
be interesting to share what I found there :
- the rpm on https://player.helixcommunity.org/ is deeply f*-up as
usual, thanksfuly Rex Dieter provides a semi-sane nosrc.rpm on
KDE-Redhat. You just need to adapt it a "little" to the latest Helix
binary dump (see later)
- usual version changes
- make %setup create the root build dir
- patch the realplay script so it actually sets HELIX_LIBS
- remove some stuff installed but not packaged
- rpm didn't want to build an i586 rpm on x86_64 -> make the build arch
noarch, redefine _libdir and _lib to something sane (not lib64). This is
FUGLY but I didn't find any other way to coax rpm into building.
- now you've build a package that can be installed. It "just" needs a
bunch of *i386* packages in FE and livna. (one step the Helix package
"forgets" as it's not checking dependencies)
- This is where I spent most of the time, trying to figure out why yum
didn't want to pull them. Why but WHY don't livna and FE provide
arch-specific mirrorlists. And WHY can't yum look up in x86_64 AND i386
when presented a generic mirrorlist. (deep anguish, wanted to murder
someone when I realised that's why everything was failing). Yum ONLY
searches in x86_64 when you use the default mirrorlists, you have to
create separate livna and FE entries without any mirrorlist and only the
i386 baseurl to make it work. This of course sucks for the root server,
but at this point I was past caring about being nice.
Anyway, now everything works there, I'll be stressing a bit FE & Livna
i386 root servers from now on, but that's real life for you. Hope this
message helps others.
Regards,

that's not in the plans currently.
This kernel is just there as a minimal effort so that the installer
folks can work on their part of xen work. They are by no means intended
for other things, and might not be usable either....

Pam changes.
by Benjamin Donnachie
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I'd be grateful if someone could please advise me what's changed in PAM
- - yum automatically updated it this morning and in the process broke
mod_pam_auth and php_auth:
Oct 27 05:52:37 Updated: pam.i386 0.77-66.2.13
Oct 27 05:52:37 Updated: pam-devel.i386 0.77-66.2.13
Previously both mod_pam_auth and php_auth worked fine with /etc/shadow
set to read by root only. In order to get them working again I've had
to change the shadow file's group to apache and give it read access.
Naturally, I don't feel very comfortable with this and am considering
changing back to the previous version of PAM.
Many thanks,
Ben
