upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

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

Self-Introduction: Denis Ovsienko and /etc/net project
by Denis Ovsienko 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Denis Ovsienko Russia, Moscow Linux system administrator and developer ValueCommerce/Russia I develop /etc/net project (http://etcnet.org) and my goal is to integrate it into Fedora Core. I am a member of ALTLinux Team. /etc/net is already integrated into ALTLinux development tree and should soon be seen in 3.0 version. I know that ArchLinux has /etc/net in its repository. IDMS Linux did so too, but i haven't heard from them for last months. My skills include 6 years Linux experience, several programming languages, 5 years of mixed software development and system/network administration and so on, but I guess it's not related much to my goal now. I have reviewed current initscripts buglist. Some bugs are not bugs in /etc/net: #65114 RFE: ifup-aliases iproute support, ifup/ifup-aliases scop... #75390 it would be nice to tie bandwidth shaping into the networ... #129820 initscripts maclist patch #132252 Request for addition of routing rule config file #132912 No additional IP addresses at ethX without aliased devices #132925 initscripts use old ifconfig instead of iproute2 #154348 Adds support for WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) to the ifup... #168990 No ifup-gre/ifdown-gre scripts. #170884 MTU of ethernet card can't be set before interface is up #171763 Enhancement to initscripts Some bugs gave me ideas how to improve /etc/net: #59114 .d-style scripts for ifup/ifdown #119952 RFE: Add hook for "local" network initialization #124045 Support setting a metric on interface routes The whole process, if we don't face some unexpected problems, should take 3 to 6 months. What I need: 1. Ability to advocate patches (sometimes heavy) to about 10-20 FC packages. 2. Probably some help with documentation. How can we start? pub 1024D/6D1844F2 2002-11-11 Key fingerprint = AF2F DDAE 7EB3 4699 09FF F0FC 00B1 6D41 6D18 44F2 uid Denis Ovsienko <linux(a)pilot.org.ua> uid Denis Ovsienko (http://pilot.org.ua) <pilot(a)altlinux.ru> sub 2048g/57B7ACBE 2002-11-11 -- DO4-UANIC

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken; and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what exactly needs to be fixed. Consider something like this: LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS" AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no)) Here's what happens on x86_64: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5 /tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main': /home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to `res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:5147: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: [ blah blah blah ] | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char res_query (); | int | main () | { | res_query (); | ; | return 0; | } The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work. The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64 in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype. So, what now?

Zeroconf in FC5?
by Daryll Strauss 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

I saw zeroconf in action at a Mac based facility a while back and I have to say I was impressed. It makes their networking setup very easy. The biggest downside was that they knew very little about how their network actually worked. That made my life integrating a Linux system in to their environment much more difficult. So, I'd like to see zeroconf really integrated in to FC5. I think it'll make network setup for a lot of users much easier. For those who don't know, zeroconf provides several functions: *) Dynamically allocating an IP address to a system when it boots (without requiring a DHCP server) *) Translate between names and IP addresses (without any setup or directory server) *) Allows for the publishing and discovery of services such as DNS, NFS, ftp, http, printers, whatever (without requiring any setup or directory server) *) Allocates multicast addresses (without a MADCAP server). (This part isn't yet supported and I'm not sure I know what it means :)) Fedora ships with Howl which looks to be the framework for doing zeroconf. It seems that what's needed is integrating howl in to all the appropriate places. - |Daryll

Reporting bugs upstream
by Bart Vanbrabant 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Hello, When I find a bug in fedora and it's obviously a bug upstream I report it there. But do we have to report them in fedora bugzilla too and reference the upstream bugreport? So if an other users files a bugreport for the same bug and doesn't check upstream maintainer of the module know it's already filed upstream. Or do we have to notify the maintainer in other way? I've searched the fedora wiki for this but I can't find any information about this. thanks, Bart -- Bart Vanbrabant <bart.vanbrabant(a)zoeloelip.be> PGP fingerprint: 093C BB84 17F6 3AA6 6D5E FC4F 84E1 FED1 E426 64D1

OLPC + Fedora = ?
by Andy Green 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi folks - There doesn't seem to be a place to talk about the RH OLPC project yet. I mailed the olpc(a)redhat.com address last week but didn't hear anything yet. It seems that Fedora and the OLPC development effort would have a lot in common. I wanted to make some suggestions which are a little radical but hopefully can make some interesting discussion before things are set in stone. My core starting assumption is that the box cannot be made for the price suggested and that triage will be needed. Therefore the software must get ahead of the game by assuming a weaker processor and half the flash. Please understand though that these are just suggestions for thinking about, not demands, complaints, etc. Hardware Seems hard to believe that with such a low price point, AMD will deliver optimal pricing and that the target CPU throughput is not excessive with x86. Isn't it better for the longer term to only weakly couple the concept of the cheap laptop to a processor arch? Isn't it better if it's more of a virtual specification that, say, random Chinese companies can compete with each other to provide at the lowest possible price, without encumbered CPU designs even like Arm? It's great to tout it around Large American Corporations, but it would be a big win if the final specification was buildable by anyone. - AMD x86 -> OpenRISC 1200 (Has working GNU toolchain) http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/or1k/openrisc_1200 - ??? expensive patented video --> Opencores VGA/LCD controller http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/vga_lcd/overview - Sound -> Cheap SPI codec, eg, http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tlv320aic23b.html or AC97 interface to external mixer http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/ac97/overview Software - Linux 2.6 with hardware-optimized .config - glibc -> uclibc http://www.uclibc.org/ or newlib http://sources.redhat.com/newlib/ - coreutils + bash + a ton of other stuff -> busybox http://www.busybox.net - ssh -> dropbear (http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html ) - apache -> lighttpd (http://lighttpd.net ) - firefox -> Opera? Used in Nokia 770... thought it was OSS now but couldn't find link on site. - various media players / codecs -> Ogg Vorbis + Theora only What will the new modular X do faced with linking to something other than glibc? What about Gnome? - Although I am a KDE man, Gnome really impressed me for the first time on the Nokia 770. The KISS vibe actually worked in that context. The 770 would be a good model for what's needed generally in fact (http://maemo.org , http://maemo.org/platform/docs/maemo_exec_whitepaper.html ) - Ext3 root filesystem -> JFFS2 NAND root filesystem - Grub -> u-boot (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=65938 ) .. can pull a bzImage out of JFFS2 directly in <100K Well I'm sure these ideas and more are already floating around, it would be cool if these can be dual-purposed into a uber lightweight "Fedora Beanie" version. Ultimately a lot of package specfiles will have to have the configure options revisited anyway... -Andy

Compiling alsa 1.0.11rc4 on FC5 and kernel wierdness
by Allyn, Mark A 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

Hello: First of all, thanks for helping me find the kernel sources. I did find them. Now, I have another interesting problem. I am trying to compile the alsa driver from alsa 1.0.11rc4 and I am having lots of compiler errors. I have done some tracing and I have seemed to come to a conclusion that there are some kernel 2.6.16 features (such as structures) in FC5's kernel, yet that kernel is 2.6.15**. This is breaking some conditionals in the source code where it is looking for kernel version 2.6.15 or earlier. Are any of you aware of changes that have been put into the 2.6.15 kernel that FC5 has that are actually from the 2.6.16 stock kernel? For that matter, have any of you been able to successfully compile the alsa version 1.0.11rc4 driver under the FC5 kernel? Thank you Mark Allyn

Really, once you have a standard Gconf doesn't need gnome. The reverse is true however. The XML format also lets you work with prefences using styles and XML XSLT and the like which is very powerful when working with a large number of systems. Really nobody has scratched the surface of what it can do. You don't have to care about the XML either, one of the crazier gconf demos from a long time ago was an email interface to gconf settings

which gstreamer versions in official fc5?
by Gianluca Cecchi 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

ATM we have gstreamer-0.10.3-3 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.3-3 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.2-1 It seems in final gnome 2.14 the optimum is: gstreamer 0.10.4 and gst-plugins-base 0.10.5 (see thread http://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2006-March/msg00126.html and for previous related messages: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-multimedia/2006-March/msg00000.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-multimedia/2006-March/msg00002.html ) and gst-plugins-good-0.10.2 What is the plan for final fc5 about core and base? Are they planned to be aligned with gnome? Thanks Gianluca

Fedora's way forward
by Eric S. Raymond 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

I've had a few days now to get through the expected upgrade teething troubles, use FC5 for my normal tasks, and watch my non-techie wife Cathy use FC5 for *her* normal tasks. I've been a Red Hat/Fedora user and contributor for more than a decade now, since before 2.0 and *well* before I became famous enough to show up in Red Hat's corporate timeline :-). I've taken some time to reflect on FC5 and the trends of the last decade, and where I think Fedora and Red Hat need to go in the future to achieve the dreams they were founded on. Let me start with some good things. I thought Fedora was in desperately bad shape in the FC3/FC4 period, and as some of you know I raised hell about it, threatening to jump very publicly to another distribution and orphan several Fedora-related HOWTOs in the process. I'm delighted to be able to report that much of what pushed me very near to giving up on Fedora has been fixed. Good thing the first: Maintainence of the core repositories is no longer a disgraceful, poorly-documented shambles. Because of this, yum is at last fulfilling the promise of (almost) friction-free upgrading over the net. Such problems as I've encountered with FC5 upgrades have been due to upstream bugs, not egregious fuckups in the Fedora infrastructure. This had...ahem...not previously always been the case. Good thing the second: this time around, I can ignore RPMForge. While those guys have done excellent work and performed a valuable function by keeping Fedora on its toes, one of the things I really, *really* wanted as a sysadmin was to be able to point my yum at official Fedora repos plus one (1) repo for Damned Things like proprietary codecs, and be done. In FC5, core plus extras plus livna does as good a job as core plus half-a-dozen RPMForge repos used to. Good thing the third: it's clear from the devel-list traffic that the submission pathway for new packages has got most if not all of the process issues shaken out of it. I had meant to get more directly involved in that, there are four or five things I want to package and submit myself, but higher-priority tasks ate my bandwidth. One of my resolutions for 2006 is to make time for those submissions. Good thing the fourth: A combination of increased polish in various distro components and significant upstream developments (one biggie being OpenOffice 2.0) has, to my observation, inched FC across an important functional threshold. My wife can use it with as little pain as Windows now, rather than merely tolerating the crap because she believes in what the Linux community is trying to do. This is significant, because she's *not a geek*; she's a lawyer. She is, in fact, perfectly representative of the kind of forward-looking professional in non-technology fields that we must have on our side if we're to take Linux all the places we want it to go. Take a moment to savor these good things. Because the news is by no means all good. We've come a long, long way, baby -- but having got past some of the serious blocking issues, we now get to face a new set of them. And at least one old issue everyone has been ducking... First, a relatively minor issue that is nevertheless quite annoying. It's the Fedora distribution art, the images in Anaconda and the Fedora-customized graphics in the admin tools and elsewhere. It has never been much better than mediocre, and in FC5 it hits a new low with backgrounds that look like a Teletubby hocked loogies into a dish full of soap scum. And whose bright idea, I have to wonder, was it to abandon the attractive and recognizable Fedora icon for something that's...not a fedora? Cripes. By comparison, even the original BlueCurve was superior. And original BlueCurve wasn't much to cheer about compared to the decorative art on a Windows or (especially) a Mac -- acceptable, but not a competitive plus, not something that would actually attract users. The FedoraBubbles stuff is bland and tacky goo that I expect will repel them. Now that we've gotten past some of the key blockers on the functional level, it's time to worry more about fit-and-finish issues like these. Mediocre art, workmanlike images that convey information without being ugly, is good enough for a niche product aimed at techies. If we want Fedora -- and for that matter Linux in general -- to break out of that niche, we have to make it *look* like we want it to. That means high-quality art, art that makes people actually *want* to look at the screen because it's a significant aesthetic experience. Which, right now, we ain't got. But the art problem pales compared to the issue that everyone has been ducking, which is Fedora's support for DVDs and proprietary audio and video and web-streaming formats and Java applets. That is to say, its crummy-to-nonexistent-to-actually-toxic support. The tools in FC5 weren't better than they were in FC3/FC4; after installing the critical bits from livna, they were *worse*. Totem tossed its cookies with a cryptic pop-up error; xine white-screened under one card and actually crashed my X under another! It's 2006, people. The Web is fifteen years old. Even non-techies have had a decade to form expectations about what constitutes a base level of functionality. We don't have a prayer -- not a hope, not a snowball's chance in a supernova -- of becoming competitive for home and business-desktop use without delivering to those expectations. Those expectations include, without any doubt, multimedia playback, web streaming, and never seeing the broken-puzzle-piece icon in Firefox more than once per media type (if that often). When those expectations are violated, it's not the content provider who gets blamed for shipping a proprietary format. The customer interprets that kind of failure as a bug in the client, *and the customer is right*. All the idealism in the world about Ogg and Theora and whatnot will not change this. Let's start with the basics. For a consumer OS to be unable to play MP3s and handle podcasts is just plain not acceptable, not in the world after iTunes. Red Hat/Fedora's duck-and-cover on this would be understandable if the Fraunhofer patents blocked decoders, but Fraunhofer itself has only dunned for royalties on *encoders* -- thus Red Hat/Fedora has ceded to Fraunhofer rights it has never claimed. I know at least one fairly influential kernel developer who threw out Red Hat/Fedora in disgust over this. When he asked me straight up how I could defend what he bluntly called 'corporate cowardice', I didn't feel like I had a good answer. And I still don't. In return for all the free development work they get, it does seem to me that it's part of Red Hat's job to shoulder risks like these -- and that Red Hat hasn't held up its end. AVI. Quicktime. ASF. MPEG. DVD playback. Flash. Java. These are *not optional* in 2006, any more than the ability to read Microsoft Word files in a word processor is optional; if we try to treat them that way, consumers will blow Linux off. Evangelizing for SVG and Ogg and Theora may change this someday (I hope it will, anyway), but if that transition were going to happen soon enough to make supporting proprietary formats unnecessary *we'd already be past it now*. So. For each format, we have one of three choices: 1. We can end-run the patent restrictions on the technology (say, by developing outside the U.S. and distributing through overseas sites that are wink-wink-nudge-nudge unconnected with Fedora/Red hat). 2. We can put real resources into developing a decoder implementation the blocking patents don't cover, and accept the risk that the patent-holders will launch harassment lawsuits anyway as a cost of doing business. 3. We can buy the rights to the technologies we want as a straight commercial transaction from the patent-holder. The community is already pursuing (1) for some formats. If Red Hat, which likes to see itself as the market leader and senior commercial distributor, isn't willing to take a swing at (2) or (3) for the others, then I have to wonder what the hell having commercial Linux distributors is actually good for. If solving the multimedia problem takes having Red Hat sell a plugins-and-drivers disk for each spin of FC, full of proprietary crap that it negotiated rights for, that sucks -- but better that than never getting any traction on the desktop because we got too caught up in our own idealism to meet actual consumer needs. And if Red Hat's answer is "we don't want the desktop", then my answer back is "shame on you for forgetting where you came from!", and it really would be time for those of us who care about the future of Linux to find a commercial partner with more ambition and more guts. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.

Fedora Looks Fresh and Functions Well
by Benjy Grogan 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hello, I'm really enjoying using FC5. Tomboy is a great tool for jotting down ideas. I actually put together this email using a few tomboy notes. I have a few suggestions -- that you can take or leave -- that I wanted to share to help out with 'Fedora's way forward'. :) Here they are: 1) A welcome to Fedora (or RHEL) tutorial for new accounts and even maybe a tips section everytime you log in. DAC would be a really good topic for new users. 2) Have a place in Preferences set up for the two or three available Javas (Sun's and the OSS ones). Then when you have installed Sun's Java you have a place to switch back to the old one, and vice versa. (Question: Is a compiled Azureus the same if it's based on Sun or GCJ?) 3) I have a question on codecs. Is it possible to get all OSS codecs these days based on the GStreamer plugin system? I think the whole audio/video codec problem would go away if there was a GStreamer Codec management system where OSS codecs would be there by default and then the user would go out and get all the proprietary GStreamer codecs he/she is missing. It should be simple to look at a Fedora system, and say "alright, got those ones, but missing these ones (like mp3/avi). And I can figure out where to get them." And this presupposes a future where there are only Gstreamer codecs. 4) Since Firefox is one of the most important pieces of the Linux OS these days, it would be great to have all of the alphas, betas and RCs available in update-testing. That would allow some users to test Firefox for bugs over an extended period of time before 2.0 or 3.0 comes out. Obviously, under some guidance from Fedora with all the patches they put into it. 5) An updating system (maybe using deltarpms or smartrpms) that could compete with the updating system available on Windows XP and OS/X. Smaller updates are really needed. That's all! Back to testing out FC5. And Thanks! Benjy

It does. I stand corrected. The page says $50K one time flat fee for a decoder.

rawhide->fc5; X won't start
by sean darcy 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

I was running rawhide updated to March 10. Went on vacation, yesterday did a full upgrade to fc5. Used yum to get updates released. Now X won't start. I think it's some sort of xfs problem. with gnome, I get the fedora bubble logo, then a black screen, alt-f1 gets me the console, which shows: waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/7100" refcount is 2, should be 1, fixing syslog shows: gnome_segv2[3263]: segfault at 0000000000xxxxxxxx ......... kde also won't start. The console shows: xset: bad font path element (#76), ....... and syslog shows kded, ksplash, kcminit, and ksmserver segfaulting. I've restarted xfs ( no errors in syslog ). I've rebooted. Do I need to do some mkfontdir voodoo in each font directory? What did the upgrade change? I've seen no similar problems posted, so I assume it's a rawhide->fc5 issue. puzzled. sean sean

[ANN] Release Notes Errata - Wiki Freeze
by Robert 'Bob' Jensen 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hello Docs, Devel and Marketing, I would like to take a snapshot of the Release Notes Beats on the Wiki to be used as an errata release for the web on Tuesday, April 4, 2006 at 23:59 UTC, we will clean up and push to translation on Thursday, April 6, 2006 giving translation a week to get as many languages available to us over the following week. One question I have for Development is can we then roll these new updated release notes and translations in to a package update for our users? The web and maybe package errata would be available on Friday, April 15, 2006. -- Robert 'Bob' Jensen <docs-list(a)fedoralinks.org> Fedora Documentation Projects

Where is the kernel source package for FC5 GA?
by Allyn, Mark A 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hello: I am trying to build kernel modules on a standard install of Fedora Core 5 GA. I did select the development block of packages. However there do not seem to be any kernel sources available to build kernel modules. I tried yum and did a yum look for kernel-source and it came up with nothing. Where do I get enough of the kernel source to do compiles of kernel driver modules? Thank you Mark Allyn

GUI controls for instrumentation
by Kenneth Porter 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

I'm tasked to write a front end for an instrumentation application for "that other operating system" ;) and I'd like to use GUI controls that are cross-platform portable for an eventual Linux port. What would the list recommend? I essentially need something that resembles the front panel of an oscilloscope, along with some dial indicators and knobs. I've also been thinking about making it web-accessible, so perhaps a Java-based solution would be suitable.

Bootsplash?
by Richard Hughes 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Now that FC5 has hibernate working for lots of people, how about we do something about the delay which currently is displayed as a black screen? I click the hibernate button, and am presented with the black screen for about 30 seconds as my ram is swapped out to disk. At resume, I'm presented with a black screen until the desktop re-appears. I think ubuntu use bootsplash [http://www.bootsplash.org/] but I think that requires a patch to the kernel away from vanilla, so that might not be an option for fedora. Maybe rhgb could be used instead? Has any work been done, or ideas discussed on this for fedora? Thanks. Richard.

Hi, I wonder why some packages are named like: cman-1.0.5-0.FC5.1.i386.rpm (with capital FC5) some are named like: compat-gcc-32-g77-3.2.3-55.fc5.i386.rpm but most of them don't have any fc5 tag Is there any pattern in this? -- Rafal Kwasny rkwasny(a)aurox.org

The Strengths and Weakness of Fedora/RHEL OS management
by Shane Stixrud 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Greetings, This message to the Fedora Development Community is an attempt to start a useful discussion on where Fedora/RHEL is today and where it is going in the future, on the subject of OS management. My apologies in advance for the long message. OS management is a very broad topic, in specific I will focus on the elements that I consider foundational weaknesses (compared to what it could be). This is not to imply these perceived "weaknesses" out weigh its strengths or that other OS's are overall superior in this regard. A bit of background to put my technical comments in perspective: I remember when I was first introduced to Unix (1992) and then later Linux (1993) compared to what I was used to at the time they combined a flexibility, functionality and a form of simplicity (in design) that when combined made all other operating systems seem hallow. For the most part I still feel this way today, but over the years having worked in enterprise environments where Linux is the up and coming challenger to entrenched non-unix platforms (VMS, Windows, zOS, etc...) I have come to better appreciate some of the elements involved in limiting Linux's adoption. I was recently tasked with standardizing/documenting our Linux server build/configuration process and as part of this process began training some of our Windows/Novell administrators to be able to carry out some of these basic tasks. It was this second part of helping train people that caused me to examine and re-examine the processes I used for this standardization. My goal was simple in theory, I would use pxe+kickstart and enforce standard configurations and policies via a series of post scripts while attempting to keep readability, simplicity and supportability from a "non-unix guru" perspective as my guiding light (A wise man once said: Make it as simple as possible but no simpler). For those interested an example of what I came up with it can be obtained here: http://geeklords.org/~shane/kickstart The process turned out to be not quite as simple as the theory but very educational none the less. To start with I had a number of ways I could manipulate my fresh Linux install. 1) I could create a custom RPM that had all of the changes imbedded in config files and rpm scripts that merely overwrote the pre-existing ones. Problem being this approach hides the complexity of what all was being changed and why. 2) Use cfengine after the kickstart install. This of course has some advantages over the rpm method but it also hides the same complexity and adds some of its own. 3) Document on paper all of the steps required and how to perform them from the console, taking advantage of the guis when available or command line when required. I felt that was not only a big waste of time but left far too much to human error. 4) Create a series of simple scripts using basic OS applications/tools (sed, echo, cp, mv, authtool, postconf etc...) to perform all of the required modifications, documenting what and why along the way. I choose method 4. My conclusion having completed this process is that the number of variables, complexity and dependencies that must be understood and taken into account when modifying configuration files is much higher than it needs to be. I think this should be clear when reading the example scripts mentioned above. Some things I learned: Sed is a wonderful tool, but it is highly limited by the fact its user must take into account whole file(s) for each expression, this is further complicated when one must consider the file may change over time. The complexity and readability of regular expression tools is much higher than should be required to change OS/application variables. Creating new files or appending to the end of existing files with "echo" only takes one so far. This also tends to have the cost of hurting readability as it is often the case you would prefer putting data somewhere else in the file (i.e. sed). The nature of flat configuration files where each application has its own format is such where recovery and/or applying changes only if they have not been already applied is too complex and hurts readability far to much to be attempted in a simple shell script. Many applications have their own command line driven configuration utilities. However each has their own oddities and complexities (authtool, gconftool-2, postconf etc...) Oddly enough out of all of the command line configuration tools I have used, I find gconftool-2 to be closest to The Right Way (TM), which is odd as it is by far one of the most complex syntax's to use (God help anyone who tries to make major edits to gnome xml files using sed) example: "gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandator y --type float --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/motion_acceleration 1" Even a complex (yet powerful) tool can meet the golden rule of "Make it as simple as possible but no simpler" when compared against a bunch of tools that are less powerful (and perhaps less complex when viewed in isolation). It is my opinion that we as a community need to find a Better Way (tm) to manage configuration changes for Linux subsystems and applications. Everything should be a file, but that does not mean every configuration file needs to be formatted and managed differently. In closing, a change this fundamental must be designed by the best minds and must have a strong champion for it to have a chance to succeed. The Fedora community is likely the only Linux entity with the brain power and influence to address this issue. Cheers, Shane

Maybe not for your or my eyes. The best layout is the one accessible by the broadest range of ways. Currently, human-readable files are accessible by human-beings only, or by configuration file "compilers", that are difficult, unique, that nobody wants to write or maintain except for the original software writer (e.g. the Samba developer with the smb.conf file). The proposed layout is accessible to you by simple reformatting (as with the kdb edit command, http://www.libelektra.org/Kdbcmd#edit) or by GUIs (as kdbedit, http://www.libelektra.org/The_kdbedit_GUI_Admin_Tool) and by any software that uses a simple API as libelektra. > There's a reason why programs aren't written for the old Turing Machine, and > that's that however well it might be able to represent any possible program, > it's incredibly verbose. The only reason I can see is historical. Since there is now projects integration efforts in the OSS world, everybody uses its own format. So you may think there is a reason, lost in time, but there is actually no reason why BIND named.conf file look that way, which is different from /etc/passwd, which is different from smb.conf, which is different from httpd.conf. Well, the real reason I can see is selfish developers that enjoy rewriting config file parsing code and invent configuration file layouts that seems best suited for their apps. But when you strip the syntax fat, they all are not more than key and value pairs on a hierarchy. So to make the discussion productive, please enlighten us with the reasons you think exists somewhere, or please don't speculate. > The examples which have appeared in this thread have all made things *less* > clear afaics. Again, maybe for our human eyes, but are 100% clear for software. And the end-goal is leverage better software integration between themselves, so we, human-beings, will have to look at configuration element everyday less. Anyway, for human eyes, I think this is pretty pleasant to see: http://www.libelektra.org/Screenshots_and_Key_Examples > Bill"somewhat sick of this thread but suspecting if people don't reply the > lunatics will end up running the asylum"Crawford.

system-config-boot
by Arthur Pemberton 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

I would like to submit for critique, suggests, etc. this program I have made. It is the first GUI app I've made in Linux, and I would appreciate some constructive criticism. I made this program because system-config-boot as it exists (in FC4 and FC5Test3 at least) only allows for selecting of a default boot entry and changing of the timeout. And FC tends to accumulate a large list of boot entries during its release cycle. Who knows, maybe this can be included in FC. I coded it on a machine running FC5Test3 in case that makes any difference. Peace Arthur -- As a boy I jumped through Windows, as a man I play with Penguins.

r300 driver in extras?
by Jonathan Dieter 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Mike, I've been following the fedora-devel mailing list, and I understand why you removed r300 support in Mesa and the kernel. I was working through a bug where OpenGL didn't work at all (even in indirect mode), and, in the process, rebuilt both Mesa and the kernel after removing your fixes. Apparently, I'm one of the lucky ones whose Radeon 9600 works with the experimental driver because it all started working. I'm now thinking of putting together a package (similar to the proprietary one in livna) that would give accelerated 3D to any Radeon users willing to take the risk. It seems that the only difference in Mesa when the r300 is enabled is that an extra file (r300_dri.so) is installed in /usr/lib64/dri, and that the only difference in the kernel is the drm module is patched to not recognize the r300 PCI ids. It seems that the Mesa problem could be easily fixed, but what is the easiest way to fix the kernel (aside from providing my own (un)patched kernel)? Will X even try to load the DRM module if Mesa doesn't provide r300_dri.so but the kernel does provide the PCI id's? If it doesn't, could we re-enable the r300 PCI ids in the kernel and just ship Mesa without the r300 driver? If it does, is there any other possible solution to the kernel that I'm missing? I've been using the fglrx driver in earlier version of Fedora for years now and would love to take this chance to move off of it and helping others move off in the process is a bonus. Thanks, Jonathan Dieter

Recommended way to start numlockx before gdm?
by John Mahowald 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

I maintain numlockx in extras. I have recieved requests for it to be started before gdm, so the keypad works with the numbers while logging in. [1] Currently it drops a one-liner script into /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/numlockx.sh. Is there a way to do it that earlier in the X startup that isn't too hacky? I'm not an expert on the X start process by any means. Appending a line to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 has been suggested, is this acceptable?

Thats not the end-goal. See, the end goal is to standarize configurations in such a way that one program with proper permissions can directly interact with another program's configurations. So in your DHCP server problem, an LDAP helper can easily change DHCP's configuration to add/remove/change some host's fixed IP address, for example, without having to ask the sysadmin (a human being) to edit it manualy, and without having to regenerate the entire config file again. Another more easy to understand problem that a global standarized configuration standard solves is the ability for you to buy a commodity video card, install it on your system, and the vendor scripts will safely, automatically, and precisely change your X.org standarized configuration to inject itself there. Currently they have to ask you to use vi plus your human brain and human eyes to make the xorg.conf changes by yourself, because it is too hard for them write an xorg.conf "compiler". Actualy, we know that what really happens is a simple "Linux is not suported" statement from these vendors. Avi

But GConf still has the drawback of having tons of dependencies and was not designed for system wide use, nor it has a global namespace. Regarding speed, Elektra now has a new Berkeley DB backend, very very fast. Avi

fc4 ghost md5sums: a tale of woe
by Matthew Miller 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

I realize that FC4 is unexciting these days, so this may not generate much enthusiasm, but: how in the _world_ are you RH folks building updates for Fedora Core 4? The story: We need to make some local modifications to some of the files in the 'setup' package here at BU, and we were chasing ourselves in circles over making it not conflict with /var/log/lastlog also owned by util-linux. Both of these packages have that file as a %ghost file, and last September, they were updated to have permissions of 0644. Specifically, there's %ghost %attr(0644,root,root) %verify(not md5 size mtime) /var/log/lastlog in both files. Okay, fine, that should work. And the packages in the FC4 updates area indeed both install without conflict. But then, when we went to install our package, bam: file /var/log/lastlog from install of setup-2.5.44-1.1bu46.1 conflicts with file from package util-linux-2.12p-9.14 Eh? But the entries are the same. After much trying-things-to-no-avail, I tried just plain rebuilding the setup package with no changes. file /var/log/lastlog from install of setup-2.5.44-1.1 conflicts with file from package util-linux-2.12p-9.14 Hey! It's not anything we're changing -- rebuilding the unmodified package doesn't work either. Diagnosing this was a bit complicated by the fact that ghost files don't show up in rpm -ql, but eventually with a bit of python, I dumped the md5sums of /var/log/lastlog stored in each RPM. Ah-ha -- that's the problem. The package I build comes out with nothing. (Either 0 or "" -- not precisely sure which and it doesn't really matter...) The RPM built by RH in the FC4 update tree has "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" -- the md5sum of an empty file. Well, that's weird, I thought. Maybe it's because we're using the updated version of RPM -- rpm-4.4.1-22 -- instead of the one that shipped with FC4 originally. No, that's not it -- that version also results in 0 md5sums for ghost files. I can't find exactly where this is in the RPM changelog, but I had to go back to the FC2 version of rpm to build a package with the empty-file checksum as in the FC4 update. So, what th' heck? Does your FC4 build system use rpmbuild from FC2, or what? :) We're working around this by rebuilding util-linux too, which works, but the whole thing was a headache and I don't like how this could happen with other packages..... -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

Those ones you cited are the perfect examples of how badly designed these configurations are, because they allow mixing of configuration elements with pure business logic. Although this is powerful, the business logic should not be mixed with configuration elements. Just to cite an example, Unix filesystem (a.k.a.

by Jack Neely 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Folks, I'm attempting to add child menus to the default menus in gnome. I can edit /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu but would rather not for obvious reasons. In RHEL 4 I'm able to put a .menu file into /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged per: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-0.9.html and that works quite well. However, with current versions of gnome-menus (2.13.5 and 2.12.0 I've tested) this method does not work. The applications.menu file in FC5 references a applications.d directory. However /etc/xdg/menus/applications.d does not work either. Does anyone have any insight on how I can get this to work as described?

suspend/hibernate in the command line
by Leo 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hi all, I can't find a simple command to suspend/hibernate the computer. Sometimes I leave the computer on with music and want it to go to suspenstion after a certain time. It would be even better if the command doesn't need root privilege. Many thanks. Regards, Leon

2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp, i82860_edac module compiled debug?
by Mike Carney 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hi there, I just upgraded to 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp, and noticed the i82860_edac module appears to be compiled to output debug messages: messages:Mar 30 12:06:02 lucy kernel: i82860 init one messages:Mar 30 12:06:02 lucy kernel: EDAC MC0: Giving out device to "i82860_edac" i82860: PCI 0000:00:00.0 The ring buffer rapidly fills up with: MC0: drivers/edac/i82860_edac.c: i82860_check() messages. Bugzilla search showed no bugs. Shall I submit one? Thanks.

Our company has a distribution license, so I get installers from a different URL. I had looked only at the date in the read me file of the Linux installer ( January 2006 ) and not specifically at the version number. Again I stand corrected, thank you.

On the exact same hardware, the Linux Flash Player 7 plug-in plays as fast as the version 7 plug-in on Windows. However, the Flash Player ActiveX control is more highly optimized than the plug-in, so if you compare Flash performance on Windows in IE to Flash performance on Linux with Firefox, Windows is faster in that case. If you use Firefox as the browser on both platforms, the performance is as close as my measurements could show. Since the current Flash Player for Windows is version 8, that throws another issue into the mix. My tests show version 8 to be up to 15% faster than version 7 using the same configuration. If you compare Flash performance using a Windows version 8 ActiveX control to a Linux version 7 plug-in, you are indeed comparing apples and oranges. > and again there is no support for shockwave. People says that's > due to the needs of using ActiveX for ShockWave run Shockwave is available as both an ActiveX control and a plug-in on Windows. Unlike Flash, both versions have the same performance ( a plug-in is available for Macintosh too). The Shockwave group within Adobe is completely separate from the Flash development group. The usage base and defined goals of the Shockwave group must indicate little need for a Linux player. I of course disagree with that, but I'm not the Shockwave development manager ;) For those hoping for a 64-bit Flash Player for Linux, the indications for the upcoming Flash Player 8.5 show no support planned for x86_64 on Windows, so I doubt it will appear on Linux. Flash users on Linux should be aware that there is no plan for a version 8 Linux Player. The Flash group is working instead on a version 8.5 Player. This effects Linux users because Adobe recommends upgrading to the most recent version 8 ( 8.0.24 ) to resolve several security issues. With the most recent issue ( CVE-2006-0024 ), Adobe is releasing fixes back-ported to version 7 players for depreciated platforms ( Win 95, Win NT, Mac OS < X ). Not included is Linux, which is not a depreciated platform ( which is good ). That means the Linux Flash Player version 7 has the above vulnerability, and a fix will not be available until Player 8.5 is available for Linux. I know many of you won't touch Flash with a ten meter pole, but for those who do, be careful out there. Charles Dostale System Admin - Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com/

Assignment of internet keys / media buttons
by Camilo Mesias 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi, I'd like to know where to report problems with key mappings. On my hardware (Dell Inspiron 6000) there are 'media buttons' (mute, vol+/-, play, next, prev, stop) which are detected as keypresses with an unmapped keycode. I can find the keycodes using xev, then I can map them to something useful using xmodmap, then compatible applications (eg. rhythmbox) do the right thing when the buttons are pressed. The first problem is that the keys are initially unmapped; a secondary problem is that some controls (eg. volume popup) don't respond to the volume keys when they probably should. So, where can I tell someone about this mapping? Which package needs some extra config? I should be able to provide a patch. -Cam -- camilo(a)mesias.co.uk <--

The pain of parsing different config file formats is only part of the problem: the bigger problem are the semantics of all the config entries, which the user still needs to understand. > But what is the advantage of building an entire new config language > around these wrappers? Couldn't they be manipulated just as easily > with shell or python? There are lots of advantages of a domain specific language over doing this with basic scripts: * It's easy to provide infrastructure for common tasks (like logging or notification if changes are detected) * The user expresses what they want to achieve rather than how to achieve it * The description represents the config in metadata and can be processed by other tools. For comparison: since kickstart has a well-defined file format, it's possible to write UI tools to manipulate them, which wouldn't be possible if a kickstart file was a shell script with some supporting utility scripts * Some things that are hairy to express in scripts can be clearly expressed in the language, e.g., dependencies between components (put a custom httpd.conf into place before starting httpd; when httpd.conf changes, httpd needs to be restarted) and logical grouping of components for reuse (this is what I mean when I say 'webserver' or 'mailserver') > Can the administrator make simple ad-hoc command line config file changes? If you allow ad-hoc changes, you allow systems to deviate from the predefined configuration; that may or may not be what you want. If it is what you want, you should use the config mgmt tool only for the initial setup, and then do your changes as you always would, without using the tool. But if you are interested in keeping the config of several machines in sync, you are better off making the changes in the config mgmt tool's description. David

Constructive criticism would do more. What kind of imagery would be better, considering the same goals and parameters the designers were given ? Without _constructive_ criticism, the comments seem like something from Simon Cowell. > And whose bright idea, I have to wonder, was > it to abandon the attractive and recognizable Fedora icon for > something that's...not a fedora? The Fedora project does need to come out from the shadow of Red Hat. Establishing a new visual identity is an important part of that. Whether the new identity is hitting its goals is a different question, but the change needed to happen. > And > original BlueCurve wasn't much to cheer about compared to the > decorative art on a Windows or (especially) a Mac -- acceptable, but > not a competitive plus, Personally I have a negative reaction to the Windows XP interface graphics, I think the FC5 interface at least as appealing. With the different themes available. our users are happy they have a choice to configure the interface, which a stock Windows install has less latitude and is harder to find for our users. > That means high-quality art, art that makes people actually *want* to > look at the screen because it's a significant aesthetic experience. Graphics are not art. Graphics are the prostitution of art concepts and techniques to get a specific desired reaction for the benefit of the party paying for the graphics. Successful graphics need to have goals established and the success of the graphics is measured against those goals. Many times looking "pretty" is a low priority goal for graphics. "Pretty" graphics can be a pleasant side benefit of successful graphics. When considering the goals for graphics, it is possible for _one_ of those goals to be visual appeal. > But the art problem pales compared to the issue that everyone has been > ducking, which is Fedora's support for DVDs and proprietary audio and > video and web-streaming formats and Java applets. > AVI. Quicktime. ASF. MPEG. DVD playback. Flash. Java. These are > *not optional* in 2006 Flash is available for x86 Linux with the same licensing terms for the other OS's Adobe supports. That says Adobe treats Linux on equal footing to other OS's, or what I could call a level playing field. Why should Linux get special treatment ? A stock install of Windows does not include Flash, although it may be bundled by an OEM hardware manufacturer. Sun's JRE is available for x86 with the same licensing as other OS's. Again Linux is treated the same as other OS's, not as a special stepchild. A stock install of Windows does not include a JRE, or if one is included it is Microsoft's crusty old thing that is much worse than the free stack provided with Fedora. A stock install of Windows does not include DVD, MPEG2, or MPEG4 playback. These are provided by bundles of third party software the hardware manufacturer includes on top of the OS. Remember, a WMV file that uses a MPEG4 codec is not a standard MPEG4 file. A file that adheres to the MPEG4 standard is not playable with WMP as shipped by MS. Even on commercial operating systems, video playback is a crapshoot. As a graphics professional, determining the best digital video format to use is a project-by-project set of trade-offs. I really don't expect it to be any easier with Linux. Several of our clients now lean to Flash video because a player exists for Linux in addition to the other big two commercial OS's. <rant> If I was Michael Dell, I wouldn't be complaining about how many different Linux distributions there are, I would be putting money into developing applications that provide this "last mile" media functionality to Linux, and providing an OS bundle that matches the functionality provided by the Windows bundles they offer. It is needed, and there is a business opportunity to provide an out-of-the-box experience for Linux similar to Windows. It is my opinion that it is the hardware manufacturer that is to provide the solution to that gap <emphasis> as it does with other operating systems </emphasis> not the OS vendor. </rant> To look at the media playback "deficiency" from _my_ perspective, I consider the absence of media players to be an advantage. Yes, an advantage. For the same reasons I remove the games installed by default on Windows, I do not want media players on company systems. I do not want employee time wasted viewing streaming video or audio. I don't want employees to watch the telly at work, and I don't want them consuming other media via the computer in front of them at work either. It is an unnecessary distraction. I also don't want the liability of digital media files of unknown source residing on company systems. Those problems are solved by removing or not providing media players. In the home environment, that is different, however I don't care what someone does in their own home. It is possible that Fedora is not suitable for some home users who require media playback without their hardware OEM providing it for them in a bundle, like what happens with commercial OS's. It _is_ suitable in a business environment in its present form _because_ this media functionality is not present. Charles Dostale System Admin - Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com/

speed up FC 5
by Amit Karpe 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi all, How we can speed up FC 5 ? As we ( in India ) normally have 128 MB RAM and 1GHz to 2 GHz processor . So any Fedora Core Linux will get slow down on this configuration of m/c . So how can we twik it to speed up FC 5 . Thanks. Amit. ______________________________________________________ param vaibhavam netum etat swaraashtram samrthaa bhavatwaashishaa tebhrusham || Bharat Maata Ki Jay ||

Mirrorlist Issues
by Ryan Skadberg 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

It seems that with FC5, the rawhide mirror list has changed to being just one round-robin DNS name. This is fine, except that it causes yum to not be able to retry things on other mirrors, since it just sees one mirror on the mirror list, so I am constantly getting: ---> Downloading header for gnome-applets-debuginfo to pack into transaction set. http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/de…: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 13:23:01 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Content-Length: 392 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Trying other mirror. Error: failure: debug/gnome-applets-debuginfo-2.14.0-3.i386.rpm from development: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. And since there is just the one host on the mirror list, yum dies. If there were multiple mirrors on the list, it could then try again on other sites. Since there is only one, it fails once and dies. I get this CONSTANTLY when trying to update rawhide and usually have to restart yum 5 to 10 times before I can get all the headers downloaded and then have to do it another 5-10 times to get the packages downloaded. Any chance we can change the mirror list back to being a real list of mirrors so this problem goes away? Thanks! Skadz

This attitude has been around since I first got into Linux (1995) and I did not understand it then. I use Fedora (and other disros and BSD) because I like it, I don't care one bit what my friends run on their computers as long as they are at least somewhat content. I like what Theo de Raadt (who I've always thought was a little pompous) had to say in a recent interview about OpenBSD [1]: "NewsForge: Why should someone use OpenBSD instead of another operating system, besides security?" "TdR: I don't really take any position of advocacy. People should use what they want to, and I am not the right person to say anyone "should" do anything. But hey, if someone is adventurous, check it out." I agree with him completely. -Matt [1]: http://os.newsforge.com/os/06/03/20/2050223.shtml?tid=8

Hardware detection problems on laptops -- how to file a report?
by Joe Desbonnet 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Am I right in saying there has been substantial changes to the way in which hardware detected works in FC5? (I see from the release notes PCMCIA handling has changed and kudzu has been deprecated). I have prepared a report of my (not good) experience with a Thinkpad T41p, but right now there is very little hard data in there which can be used for debugging. Any advice how to file a useful report about hardware that did work with FC4 and does not work with FC5? Also: I was thinking about the testing of the install install process prior to the final release. Since many people cannot afford the space to have a spare partition for test releases (especially on laptops) and it is not possible to install to a USB drive, it would be useful to have some sort bootable live-CD with just enough software to test the hardware detection. Eg something like the Windows Device Explorer program. If I had something like that during the test phase I would have caught all these problems a long time ago. (I did all my testing in a virtual VMWare environment -- and it works great there!). Joe.

FC5 weird raid issues
by dragoran 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

I have tryed to upgrade from FC4 -> FC5 using anaconda but it did not detect my FC4 installation which is installed on /dev/md0. It tryes to add a non raid partition to the array and ignores the raid partition. This causes the initalisation of md0 to fail. Is this a kernel or anaconda bug? Bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186312 (no reply ...) So I backuped my data dan tryed a reinstall and it detected the md0 array in diskdruid but showed "foreign" as filesystem.. did edit and set mount point to / and filesystem ext3 but it failed formating it with a messages saying that it failed and that I should press enter to reboot the system. What happend? How could such things happen with a *final* release? Raid support seems broken and nobody has noticed. I always updated my system from RH9->FC1->FC2->FC3->FC4 (then reinstalled FC4 because of i386->x86_64) but it seems that upgrade is no more possible to FC5 :(

Yay, return of the linuxconf It will break for the same reason that linuxconf failed - even a GUI needs some config file consistency to work. It will fail like the current printer setup fails. If you want it to work conf syntax and GUI/CLI tools must be carefuly thought of and aligned, or you'll only produce brittle GUI tools which eat conf files at the first opportunity. *If* a core set of apps could be moved to a modern consistent format then one could try to evangelize it later. This is something the gconf people botched big time by focusing on the GUI and generating files no one could sanely modify in a text editor (and no xml is not the reason. Serializing stuff without thinking is the reason. Abusing human-unfriendly UUIDs is the reason) My suggesting if you want this to happen is : 1. create a new gconf backend with files people can actually change in vi of emacs 2. once you've proved you've a solid candidate both GUI and CLi cand work with, try to sell it to everyone else But if you're not able to switch gnome (which has a single point of entry - gconf) you've got zip chances to get rid of the others legacy formats -- Nicolas Mailhot

Call for Developers for the CSLinux project
by Amit Karpe 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Dear Linux hackers, As you may be aware, we, the Computer Science Linux User's Group, are attempting to make our own re-branded distribution of Linux based on Fedora Core 5. This distribution is aimed at having a customised set of packages that we need in our BCS/MCS/BE/ME/MCA/Diploma syllabus so that one set of three or four CDs can be moved around without carring peripheral CDs for Java, plugins, multimedia, etc. Moreover, we were mailed regularly by people that they had trouble setting up Postgres, PHP, tomcat, Perl, JDBC, etc. during their time of critical needs. It is definately not fair to expect people to learn how to configure these things at the last moment when practicals are declared within a week. Even if someone is capable of configuring these, it is likely that they may forget at the last moment and also likely that people wont want to spend time configuring stuff on the day previous to the exam at the cost of studying. For this purpose, we also aim to provide pre-configured RPMs and configuration scripts that can achieve this task within a few minutes. In fact, CSLinux version 1 released last year allowed even first year students to set up many things that TYs were having trouble with. This version will be aimed at pushing this simplicity and ease-of-use to the next level. With GUIs, web-based tools for remote management of nodes in labs, configuration replication scripts for applying common settings to multiple laboratory nodes, user management scripts for handling the thousads of users on college servers, etc. For more information on what's been going on in regard to CSLinux, you are encouraged to join the CSLUG group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cslug and go through the archives http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cslug/message . We have also started a Wiki seedwiki.com/wiki/computer_science_linux_users_group/ for simplifying this effort and the link to it can be found in he CSLUG archives. We request your participation, support and encouragement in this effort. Please do spread the word around. We need all sorts of people to help us out. We need graphics designers to design the themes, logos, images, wallpapers, bootscreens, etc. for CSLinux. We require people to modify the installer Anaconda. We need people to modify RPM files and change the default configuration in them. We need people to make and build binary RPMs out of source tarballs for packages whose RPMs that may not already be available or when i686 RPMs may not be available. We also need developers to develop the configuration scripts, the small tools that we will provide with CSLinux and changing initscripts. Finally and most importantly, we also require the BCS/MCS/BE/ME/MCA/Diploma community to contribute their academic projects to be put up on CSLinux. This is to encourage students to make professional-grade real-life applicable projects by providing them a large exposure within the peer community. Also, we need people to search for sponsors. For example, we may approach coaching classes to sponsor the project in return for putting up their ads/banners on our default wallpaper, the GNOME/KDE splash screens, the default gdm login logo, and the CD covers and the prints on the CD themselves. Absolutely any help will be appreciated a lot. We would like CSLinux to become a living example of an open source project that is self-sustaining, started off by students on their own, and a successful business model within Pune (although it will be strictly not-for-profit). If you feel that you have completed any assignment from BCS/MCS/BE/ME/MCA/Diploma to perfection and would like the community to see it, then we will also be including such assignments for reference on the distribution. This is a very highly-demanded feature by many. Your contribution on recommendations to what tools, packages and documents that should be included in CSL would be highly appreciated. We thank you for all your support in this matter. For more information you may contact the following: Amit Karpe: amitkarpe(a)vsnl.net, 9226745408 Archis Gore: archisgore(a)yahoo.com, 9371058022 It would be preferred if you could post your suggesstions, ideas and contributions onto the list.

If you think there is a shred of hope for community members to have an option to buy in towards a "pay up" for an open source project that is actually worth buying into.. please be so kind as to do the necessary inquiries with the patent holder about the available license terms and conditions before making that suggestion public. Right now you are taking about a 3 million mile view on the issue.. and everything that matters in this discussion are details in the licensing terms, which you don't know. Please refrain from speculation until you are in a position to at least state clearly what the offered terms and conditions are. We can't even have a well intentioned layperson discussion as to what is or is not allowed without specific terms. However I think its a waste of everyones valuable time to discuss the pros and cons of implementation details like "pointing yum to a 3rd party location by default" until you can present us with the terms of the licensing that is being offered and there is informed opinion about what is allow,what is not allow, and what is uncertaintly allowed by the language of the terms that you are suggesting the community spend resources in securing. -jef

Kernel for SMP VIA C3 machines
by Jason L Tibbitts III 28 Mar '06

I have a couple of VT310-DP boards (together in a little 1U case, nice) and found that FC-5 won't do SMP on them. (The i686 kernels won't run on this chip.) What's the cleanest way to add an i586-smp (or better yet, MVIAC3_2-smp) build target to the existing kernel SRPM? Currently I'm working from Fedora CVS (FC-5 branch) which looks like it has reorganized the config generation a bit. - J<

Nice to see this functionality return. Now if you could get it to go direct from the browser to installing packages, you'd really have something. (A vector for malware if you're not careful.

prism2_usb wlan does not get initialised in FC5
by Richard Kennedy 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hi, I use the out of kernel driver for the prism2 usb wlan card -- http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ built from source. It works correctly on FC4 but since upgrading to FC5 it no longer gets initialised. The driver uses custom hotplug events to run userspace apps that load the card firmware and configuration, start a scan etc. But since /sbin/hotplug no longer exists, the card won't start up. Can anyone suggest the best way to get this card to work with udev? Can I get a udev rule to run after the card is completely loaded and the device node exists, and then start the firmware download? I've tried a simple udev rule, but the device doesn't seem to be created so the user space app that downloads the firmware can't find /dev/wlan0 so doesn't work. rule: ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", DRIVER="prism2_usb", RUN +="/etc/wlan/wlan-udev.sh %k" Can any suggest how to get this to work or what I might need to change in the driver to work with udev? Or is there a way to send custom actions from the driver to udev to replace the hotplug ones? Any ideas or suggestions? TIA cheers Richard

Re: Fedora's way forward

First off, thanks to Fedora and upstream developers for delivering the best Fedora so far: FC5! Please stay the course and keep Fedora free (in all senses of the word) and fast paced. At least I like having an up to date and complete (or as complete as possible) OS that doesn't depend on a whim of proprietary software makers of the day, be that Adobe, NVidia, ATi, Sun, Citrix, VMware, Cisco or someone else. Once we venture down that road, we'll just get ourselves in trouble, IMHO. Third party proprietary software that works with Fedora should be a temporary bonus (until the next kernel/X/<insert you component> here source breakage in the upstream release), not a given. People that want operating systems that include/fully support proprietary stuff should not run Fedora - they should run Red Hat Enterprise Linux or something similar. PS. Personally, I like the new Fedora logo and theme. -- Bojan

FC5: first impressions
by Dimi Paun 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Now that I past the installation of FC5, I can share some of my impressions. BTW, I've been running Red Hat since 4.0, so I'm a long time user of everything Red Hat. I'd like to start by saying that this is a nice step forward from FC4. There's a lot to be happy about: new versions, nicer eye-candy, much faster in places. Good job! I'd like to stress the "faster" part. This is a very important criteria for a good desktop experience, and I'm really glad we finally see some much needed improvements. It took _seconds_ in FC4 to start a simple app like gedit, now it's around a second. Also, Firefox really shines, and for the first time it's actually a better browser than IE for reading LKML [0]. I can go on and on about the number of improvements, but that would be boring, so I'll start with the complaints :). BTW, I run GNOME, and try to keep things as standard as possible. So here are my complaints, in order of importance: 0. Missing terminal on desktop menu... just kidding! :) You guys were right, I can live without it. Mea culpa. [seriously now] 1. Metacity's new window in the background I can not stress how big of a problem this is for me. I have used it since it was introduced, in the hope that I'll get used to it. I didn't. Not only it does the wrong thing for me in 90% of the cases, it also forces me to use the mouse a lot more, which is painful for me. A few google searches and browsing through GConf did not reveal a way of disabling it. 2. Evolution can't print Nowadays I get quite a few invoices via email, and not being able to print them is a big problem. Evo will just print the headers, but not the content. Even the Print Preview shows just the headers with an empty content. What gives?!? BTW, same behavior was present in FC4, I was hoping FC5 will fix it. 3. Gedit's tab Not only I find these tabs simply the wrong interface, but unconditionally having one even if I have only on file open is irritating me to the point that I avoid that app even when I need it. It's ugly, it takes vertical space, etc. Again, I found no way of disabling this silly behavior. These are my top 3 problems. There are others, but they pale in comparison. If I missed a simple way of fixing them, I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks for an otherwise fantastic distro guys! All the pain, blood, and tears that you guys put into it is very much appreciated. -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

Open-link misbehavior
by Dimi Paun 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hi folks, One more note in the focus handling saga. Right now, if one clicks on a link in Evolution, it is opened in the most recent Firefox window, as a new tab. This is fine, except when you have Firefox windows on different desktops. You click on a link in Evo, and then you start hunting on the various desktops completely blind trying to find it! (Unless you were lucky and the last used Firefox window was on the same desktop as your Evolution). Now, I can see why this behavior would be advantageous, as long as a _new_ window was opened in cases where the link would open on a tab on a different desktop. But as it stands, it is very confusing. I can see that technically the "right thing" would be hard to implement (it probably requires interaction between Firefox and the WM). So until we get this right, the default behavior should be to open a new Firefox window. Advanced user can select this other behavior knowing full well what they are getting into. -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

stateless linux, and read-only root
by Bill Nottingham 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

For FC6 we're looking at bringing forward and integrating some of the Stateless Linux work. More detail will be up at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux although probably not for a couple of days. One of the main tenets of this is that the system filesystems should be able to run read-only; there's no reason for apps to be writing to the system filesystem in general use. However, tracking this can be difficult; you don't want to force everyone to run read-only just to get data on their workloads. So, what we've worked on is a way to simply log what apps are writing to (or trying to write to) the system filesystems. This is now available at: http://people.redhat.com/notting/rolo/ A readme for this is attached. Basically, we're interested in getting logs from a variety of workloads, ranging from basic desktop to server; with this information, we can make sure that a readonly root scenario works for the majority of use cases that someone might want. Right now, reports can go to this list, in this thread or similar. If we need to set up a separate mechanism for recieving them, we can. Bill

A gui config editor/manager with it's own config languages, that used translator plugins for all the different config file formats out in the opensource community. It is really an ugly massive project, that is useless until you get all the translators written. The scariest problem that forced me to give it up was not just maintaining the translator plugins, but maintaining the translation rules for the different versions of config files for the same app. Just thought I would chime in.

I would image that 3D effects (drop shadows, beveled edges etc) are possible. The downside of SVG is that it's all relatively new and products/libraries are not that common. If you are pitching to a conservative client (military type people for example) you don't want to take risks with the technology. Another thin client option I mentioned in an earlier post is VNC: you can run the application on the server and just use VNC protocol to update a VNC display. Ideal if the thin clients are on a high bandwidth LAN. If you want a fat client with portability: my personal preferences would be Java (SWT or Swing). It sounds like your application is going to be deployed on a controled environment, so I don't think Java would be a problem. If C++ is your language of choice I would agree with one of the previous posters -- you will not go wrong with Qt. Joe.

If your application needs an update rate of less than 1Hz (ie one second or more between updates) consider SVG: Take a look at these real time instrumentation demos from WPS Energy: http://www.wpsenergy.com/JayNick/default.asp Also: http://www.anomaly.org/wade/projects/instruments/Instruments.svg Advantage of SVG is that it's a thin client solution: ie you just need IE + SVG Plugin or just Firefox 1.5+ Joe.

firstboot system maintenance task
by Florin Andrei 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

After installing Fedora on any system, when the system boots up for the first time I always log in as root immediately, in a text-mode console (not via X), then run this sequence: killall anacron yum -y update yum clean packages anacron -nd sync reboot I just type everything in then I walk away and let the system do it since there should be no user interaction. Perhaps a better idea would be to run everything inside a typescript session, just to catch all the output for further analysis - hmmm, that actually does sound good, I should add that to my first boot ritual from now on. :-) Anyway, even before Fedora, I was pretty much doing the same thing, but translated in Red Hat Linux terms. Even before that, 10 years ago when I was using Slackware Linux :-) I was doing things that were functionally equivalent, albeit a lot more manual and hugely more cumbersome. I just think it's a good idea and it's the best and shortest way to build a clean and up to date system out of a fresh install. So I was thinking - perhaps it, or something equivalent - could be added as the last step to firstboot. Perhaps as a popup, informing the user that the system will apply all available updates, perform some maintenance tasks then reboot, and asking the user to either accept or reject it. The only snag that I can think of is Internet access - firstboot should test HTTP access and perhaps ask the user to configure proxy settings first (and skip this whole thing if there seems to be no way to enable Internet access at this point). Also, perhaps anacron should not even be started the very first time the system comes up after install, but instead wait for this maintenance task to be either accepted by the user (then the system will reboot and anacron will launch normally next time) or rejected (then perhaps anacron should be launched by firstboot). This might also help a lot of newbies since I noticed that some people running Linux for the first time are not aware of the necessity to apply updates and patches and do not even know how to do it. For the advanced users it would be just a convenient way to bring a fresh install up to date before actually pounding on it with real workload. Thoughts? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Fedora core for the Itanium
by Jason Connor 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Are there any plans for doing stable releases of fedora core for ia64? I've seen the rawhide tree for the platform, but with the recent pledges from intel, hp, and others to put more money into the platform, I think it might be time to release fedora for end users on it. -- Jason Connor "Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do.

smbfs not in the FC5 kernel?
by Jörn Rink 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hi, my old method to mount a smbfs filesystem does not work, further investigation shows, that the smbfs kernel module does not exist in the actual FC5 kernel. Has the method changed? In fedora core 3 there was such a kernel module.

My patch currently has two settings: "smart" which is the pre-2.14 behaviour and "strict" which enables the experimental strict focus approximation mode. (Neither of these is a particularly good name, as the smart mode isn't really smart and the strict mode isn't really strict.) The smart mode simply applies the user's current focus policy to new windows. So if you're using focus follows mouse and the new window appears at your mouse position it gets focus. Some people don't like this and claim it can be dangerous. The experimental strict focus approximation mode tries to prevent windows started from a hardcoded list of terminals from getting focus. In part it does this by putting the new window underneath the terminal, which lots of people find objectionable. In the GNOME Bugzilla Elijah Newren has suggested additional modes which might be called "always" and "never", though these haven't been implemented yet. I guess that "always" would force the new window always to have focus while "never" would never give focus to new windows. This latter is what some people would call "strict". All of these modes apply an additional layer of behaviour beyond what you currently get with the click/mouse/sloppy focus modes (and are independent of those modes). Ron

Anaconda: good work!
by Dimi Paun 26 Mar '06

26 Mar '06

Hi Jeremy, Just wanted to share a few thoughts about anaconda, while fresh in my mind (I've managed to install FC5 last night). First impression: anaconda really rocks! This is a very solid, pleasant installer. I do have a few _minor_ points that I think would make it a bit nicer to use: * PASS/FAIL color coding When testing disks, there's nothing in the way of visual feedback between the PASS/FAIL screens (I haven't actually seen the FAIL screen :), but I assume it hasn't changed since FC4) This is a screen that I tend to dismiss quickly, and I'm left with that nagging feeling that I didn't read the text right. A green/red background just for the word PASS/FAIL will help immensely. * The text based boot is ugly Rather minor point, but a graphical initial boot would make for a less intimidating experience in this otherwise flawless graphical installer. * Disk change indicators Not sure it's worth the trouble, but it would be really nice if we got some ticks along the progress bar on when we can expect we will need to change the CDs. This would also tell someone which CDs are needed. It would help people a lot to manage their time during installs. * Links don't work in Release Notes Rather frustrating, considering the size of the doc. Links within the document should work, if they look like regular links (color, cursor) * External links in Release Notes are confusing These can't possibly work, it would be nice if we can disable them to avoid confusion. * Space does not page down in Release Notes I am so used to use space to page down in viewers, I really miss it when I can not do so. * Release Notes too big? I found them to be too big/verbose, especially for a light read during install. But maybe it's just me. Hope this helps, and thank you again for the excellent installer. -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

FC5 test3 udev hang
by Gianluca Sforna 26 Mar '06

26 Mar '06

Hi, I just put my hands an a shiny Acer Travelmate 8202WLMi laptop so I decided to give a try to FC5. The installation wen fine, but upon first reboot I an stuck at: Starting udev:_ Admittedly, I did _not_ expected FC to work fine on that, having a bunch of fancy new hardware in there ( Centrino Core Duo, wifi ipw3945ABG, SATA HD and so on ), so this is just for the records. If someone also has an idea on how to get it booting, I could try to upgrade the beast so I can see if newer packages fixes the problem. Thanks a lot Gianluca

Known issues with nForce4-4x chipset and recent kernels?
by Matthias Saou 25 Mar '06

25 Mar '06

Hi, I've just tried to update the hardware I had in a machine, updating at the same time the system from FC3 to FC5/dev. What I did was prepare an FC5 installation on the final hard drive, but in a temporary machine, then planned on simply fixing up the initrd for the final one and putting the disk in. But it wasn't that easy... Once I got the final machine ready, a Sempron 2800+ on an Asus K8N4-E Deluxe motherboard (pretty neat and not too expensive), which is based on an nForce4-4x chipset, I could boot fine off the old parallel ata drive with FC3 in single user mode, then even mount the new serial ata drive which was recognized fine. I thought it would be a piece of cake from here, since I just added the sata_nv to the initrd and rebooted... But it turns out, after fighting for a long while thinking it was an initrd problem, that even the FC5 installation booted from DVD doesn't see the serial ata drive, although it loads the sata_nv module. After loading the module, nothing special in dmesg apart from some selinux related stuff. After hours of fiddling, trying to add a sleep delay after the sata_nv modprobe in the inirtd (I saw a post somewhere about a race condition at some point), I simply gave up. I brought a newer parallel ata to put into the machine, and booting for the even older one where FC3 is installed, I managed to copy over the install from the serial ata drive to the new parallel ata one. BUT... To my great surprise, I got into a very similar situation, where the kernel wouldn't boot. Hmmm. So I tried once more simply starting an FC5 installation from the DVD, and same thing, when the kernel displays "hda:" and seems to be trying to read the partition layout to display "hda1 hda2", I get messages about DMA timeouts. Note that at that point, simply switching the boot device in the BIOS to the old parallel ata drive and booting FC3, I can mount all three drives and they work perfectly. So it doesn't seem to be a cabling problem or a BIOS problem. The only explanation I currently have is that 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 kernels have a problem with this motherboard, as I've tried both the original FC5 kernel and the latest one from FC5 testing updates. I've also tried the "noprobe" install option, booting with "noapic", but I've run out of ideas.... Does anyone know about any issues with nForce4-4x chipsets currently? I've been searching google for hours and found nothing at all.

PHP-5 seems to be screwed on FC-5
by casimiro barreto 25 Mar '06

25 Mar '06

Hello, Yesterday I updated one of my servers to FC-5. The primary effect sensed was that PHP-5 seems to be broken. Oh... yeah... it works up to a certain point but, after that, it miserably fails. For instance, I have a ridiculous program that count hits. It stopped working. Not only a single f_ck_g error message or warning in the logs... I have an schedule program that works with MySQL and now it is simply unable to deal with ISO-8859-1 encoding... Oh... by the way... also refuses to work properly in UTF-8 (not that suported by MySQL itself) and other oddities... But as ALL UNIVERSE speaks English, why to bother with those who don't... In both cases I have very little evidence of what is going on (really very little)... For instance... $_SEVER['ALL_HTTP'] (quite standard in PHP-5) issues error messages and little nasty things like that. [root@sol httpd]# cat error_log (...) PHP Warning: PHP Startup: ,L\x8c: Unable to initialize module\nModule compiled with module API=20041030, debug=0, thread-safety=0\nPHP compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0\nThese options need to match\n in Unknown on line 0 [Fri Mar 24 13:24:39 2006] [notice] mod_python: Creating 4 session mutexes based on 256 max processes and 0 max threads. [Fri Mar 24 13:24:40 2006] [notice] Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) configured -- resuming normal operations [Fri Mar 24 13:41:07 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] PHP Notice: Undefined index: ALL_HTTP in /var/www/html/.../streaming/src/core/web_server/SLISAPI.php on line 40 (...) Since pre-compiled versions of PHP are not to be found on Zend (I guess they got tired of things workin in one hour and not workin the next), I think it is a good thing that Fedora developers take care about what was working and will stop to work on next release... Including explicit mechanisms for downgrading... Besides, I fixed the problems with device drivers (USB and SOUND) on FC5. Just rebuilding all the kernel (about a 2 hour work)... after all, ASUS being so minor motherboard manufacturer, who in the Universe would give a heck if Linux don't work in boxes that use ASUS, Pentium 4 and SIS chipsets. Besides, RAID1 is still crashing. The same with RAID0 and linear. With SATA HDDs. Perhaps better thing to do is to spend some thousand US$ purchasing an external raid... since it is almost impossible to fix something that simply locks the sistem (much like M$) without leaving a single trace of what the hell happened. Regards, Casimiro PS: I am not one of those ass-kisses that keeps congratulating for next versions... Next versions MUST work all right to deserve congratulation. Otherwise it will wind up just like other technological toys that enjoyed college students.

strange X11 Problems with cisco vpn client under Fedora 4 or 5
by Jörn Rink 25 Mar '06

25 Mar '06

Hi, first of all, sry when this is not the right mailing list. I have problems with the cisco vpnclient 4.xxx under Fedora 4 or 5. The client works perfectly, but when it is started and i login with a user into X11, after a while the mouse pointer stacks at the left side. This happens ONLY when the cisco vpn client is connected with my office. So my question is, how can this happen, where can i look or debug to get more info? I have to reboot the computer, deleting modules restarting X do not work. Anyone here with the same Problem? On my notebook with Fedora Core 3 i do not have this problem. Thanks for reading, Joern Rink

Wild and crazy times for the development tree
by Jeremy Katz 25 Mar '06

25 Mar '06

With the release of Fedora Core 5, the development tree is now open for things to continue forward. So if you've been following it purely to get updates for the FC5 test releases, you'll probably want to grab the fedora-release package from the FC5 release instead. If you want to keep testing and helping to develop things for Fedora Core 6, expect for some fun to pop up as always. Jeremy

Support for 3Com 3CRWE737A dissapeared
by Joe Desbonnet 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

My 3Com 3CRWE737A Airconnect Wireless LAN PC Card (an old card, but worked fine with every Redhat/Fedora release to date) is not recognized by FC5 (on a Thinkpad T41p). It has worked with FC4,3,2,1 and Redhat Linux releases. I believe this card is handled by the orinoco_cs module. I'd appreciate a pointer to some doc on how this can be fixed: I assume this is a configuration issue rather than support for the card being dropped from the kernel (?) On plugging the card I get two lines in /var/log/messages: Mar 25 04:06:12 localhost kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 Mar 25 04:06:12 localhost kernel: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 On unplug: Mar 25 04:06:41 localhost kernel: pccard: card ejected from slot 0 Should I file this in bugzilla? Thanks, Joe.

Crashes with via_velocity?
by Chris Adams 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Okay, I finally got around to loading FC5 on my Athlon 64 system here. I first tried the 32 bit install. The install (from local hard drive) worked fine, but during boot, it got into a cycle of oopses during or right after network setup. I booted it single user mode and managed to reproduce the oops. I then tried a 64 bit install. Again, install worked fine, but it oopses during network config during boot. This is an Abit AV8 motherboard with built-in Via gigabit ethernet (via_velocity). I've also added a Compaq dual 10/100 NIC (two e100 chips behind a DEC PCI bridge). The e100s are eth0 and eth1 and the via_velocity is eth2. It oopses before configuring eth2 I think, but the common thing in both 32 and 64 bit oopses is the message "last sysfs file: /class/net/eth2/address". https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186584 -- Chris Adams <cmadams(a)hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

GUI controls for instrumentation
by Kenneth Porter 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

I'm tasked to write a front end for an instrumentation application for "that other operating system" ;) and I'd like to use GUI controls that are cross-platform portable for an eventual Linux port. What would the list recommend? I essentially need something that resembles the front panel of an oscilloscope, along with some dial indicators and knobs. I've also been thinking about making it web-accessible, so perhaps a Java-based solution would be suitable.

The Morning After
by Patrick W. Barnes 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

To start off, congratulations are in order for everyone who was involved in bringing Fedora Core 5 to fruition. Fedora Core 5 is the most outstanding Fedora Core release to date, and we've seen a lot of progress since Fedora Core 4. Thank you and congratulations to everyone! Overall, I think the Fedora Core 5 release was a great success. We had a few minor glitches, as will always happen on release day, but things really came together to deliver this awesome release in an awesome way. While the excitement is still strong, let's look back over the events leading up to and immediately following the release, and see what we can do to make things better both for the lifetime of this release and for future releases. Over the weekend, we saw quite a few leaked ISOs flying around. This is to be expected, but we need to try to minimize this to avoid potential problems. We also saw a large number of users take advantage of BitTorrent, which greatly reduced demand on the main servers, but, as always, people are always looking for more bandwidth. We've got plans in the works that will help, but there's always room for more improvement. It is great that there is so much interest, so how can we best support that interest without failing our release goals? A lot of switches and buttons had to be operated manually for this release. We could almost certainly add automation and scheduling, and we could streamline processes to make life easier on ourselves. We had to update a lot of information on both fedora.redhat.com and fedoraproject.org. We have some unnecessary duplication, and there are places where we can get things working a little more smoothly. Jesse, and anyone else working on these things, what did you notice? How can we improve the process? It took a fair chunk of the day to get the latest release notes up on the website and working properly. Surely, we can automate some of this. I know a lot of work is going into getting the build tools working better, but what else can we do to simplify this for a prompt release reaction? There were a few other technical errors or delays, such as those that prompted symlinking torrent URLs and the update to the release announcement, the lack of the planned instructions for CD-burning in the distribution directories, and a few known flaws in the final release. These kinds of things are bound to happen, especially when internal issues arise just before the release, but that's no reason to ignore them. What did we miss, and how can we make sure we get it right next time? Finally, there has been a lot of buzz leading up to and following the release. We saw a refreshing surge even before the release hit. That's great, but the buzz could still be bigger. We saw a few reviews of the test releases, and many sites have published new information in the last 24 hours, but how can we generate more of this? Did anybody notice particular areas that were undersold? Now is the time for radical thoughts and ideas that can shape what we do to support Fedora Core 5 and prepare for Fedora Core 6. Let's hear them! -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64(a)n-man.com http://www.n-man.com/ Have I been helpful? Rate my assistance! http://rate.affero.net/nman64/ --

fyi: vlc
by Neal Becker 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

I tried FC5 vlc from livna, but it just gave a bunch of errors when started. Then I tried videolan-client from freshrpms. Better, but gave an error when trying to open my dvd. I grabbed the srpm from freshrpms, and (after d/l all the builddeps) it is rebuilt and working great.

Removing dep for httpd from php?
by Stefan Neufeind 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hi, I was wondering if removing the dep for httpd inside package php might be justified? Seen that in FC4 - and I guess it's in FC5 as well. When running a server without a webserver installed, you can perfectly install/use php anyhow. So why is that dep needed? Is there a chance to get it removed on the next release? :-) Regards, Stefan

Where is libtool-ltdl-devel in FC5?

Hi, I've a simple question: Where is libtool-ltdl-devel in FC5? Please don't tell me that the libltdl.h and libltdl.so.xxx has been merged in libtool and libtool-ltdl and that there's no DEVEL package! -- Cheers, Didier. ------------ Yum/apt repository for DR17/EFL: http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe Didier F.B Casse PhD candidate, Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) National University of Singapore.

FC5: Incorrect rndc.key from bind-package?
by Stefan Neufeind 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hi, upon upgrading from a working FC4 to FC5 I encountered that named wouldn't start up anymore because of an incorrect /etc/rndc.key. It contained: # cat /etc/rndc.key key "rndckey" { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "@KEY@"; }; which belonged to # rpm -qf /etc/rndc.key bind-9.3.2-12.FC5 Has somebody else seen something like this? Does somebody know if the install-scripts should replace @KEY@ with a random-key? Regards, Stefan

Re: Core 5 and Samba issues

I tried to make a FC4 then a FC5-test machine join an AD domain a while back and failed. I am not sure samba can do that reliably yet, but some standard FC procedure or documentation would certainly be nice. -- Jean-Luc

FC5 kickstart i386 and x86_64
by Tony Heaton 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Hello, I've downloaded FC5 for i386 and x86_64. I do netboot kickstart installs. With FC3 and FC4, and previous I think, If I didn't have a network stanza in the kickstart config file it would just bypass configuring the interfaces and just use the one that was selected during the boot process. With FC5 it asks to configure all the interfaces. If I add a single network line to the config file it bypasses the interface configuration again and configures on the interface in the config file. My machines don't all use the same interface for network connectivity, and I liked the way it worked before. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Yes I have RTMF. Thanks -- Tony Heaton CCN-9 (505) 667-9015 theaton(a)lanl.gov

FC5 updates in testing

23 Mar '06

Just a quick note about all the updates for FC5 in testing (especially the kernel). All looks very good on HP xw9300 workstation (dual Opteron, running x86_64 FC5). Nvidia drivers from Livna work fine too (dual head). -- Bojan

The joys of rawhide returning to form
by darrell pfeifer 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

For the last couple of weeks as rawhide settled into FC5 I had a completely working system. Now that the freeze has been lifted for a couple of days I yum updated this morning. Printing broke. There was a cups update. I think I saw a scriptlet fail. There appears to be no default printer. Using the control panel to remove the current (USB) printer and remake a new one doesn't help. Test printing fails. X broke There was an X server update. I have an ATI Radeon R300 so am involved in the DRI fray. In previous versions commenting out the load of the DRI module worked but in the new version DRI looks like it is still attempted and I get the black screen of death. Reverted to the X server rpm off the FC5 cd. ipw2200 broke There was a kernel upgrade (2074) and now the driver won't load. Booted the 2064 kernel which continues to work. So that was no X, no wireless and no printing. Eeeks. I'll try to file some bug reports when I get a chance. darrell

Very bizarre upgrade with FC5
by RaXeT 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

I've seen some weird behavior for an upgrade, but this takes the cake. Using DVD upgrade install of FC5 from a current FC4 test box exhibted the following weirdness: FC5 initially started loading the perfunctory drivers, then stated that the media couldn't be found in the CDROM drive (which was running up to a point). Prompted me with a pop up selection of the various media choices: CDROM, floppy etc. Then in an attempt to resolve the issue, I switched the media from the CDROM to the firewire external Sony DVD RW drive. The install again proceeded until we came to the Fedora Core bubbles splash screen which asks whether to do a new install or upgrade the existing/found FC4. When I proceeded with that upgrade, immediately an error message appeared stating that the swap partition was missing in action and prompted reboot. Any ideas? I have been running FC4 test picking up all the updates along the way with yum update. Frank Jacobberger

gnome-screen-saver unlock artwork
by Thomas J. Baker 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

I have some inconsistencies across several machines with the artwork for the gnome screen saver unlock window that I thought was due to different initial fc5 test installs. Now that I've done clean installs of fc5 proper on the same systems the inconsistencies remain. On some systems I have the themed fedora core 5 unlock window and on others I have a simple grey box. I can't really do a screen shot because the screen is locked. It doesn't appear to be user related because a new user on an affected system still has just the grey box unlock dialog. Has anyone else seen this? tjb -- ======================================================================= | Thomas Baker email: tjb(a)unh.edu | | Systems Programmer | | Research Computing Center voice: (603) 862-4490 | | University of New Hampshire fax: (603) 862-1761 | | 332 Morse Hall | | Durham, NH 03824 USA http://wintermute.sr.unh.edu/~tjb | =======================================================================

Core 5 and Samba issues
by Eric Brunson 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

From a fresh install of FC5 I was joining my box to the office domain and came across a few issues. Let me start by saying, system-config-samba is a very good tool. It has some holes in functionality, but samba has always been a thorn in my side and this tool made it a whole lot easier. However, if I go to Server Settings and select "ADS" for authentication, when I enter my Realm it joins the realm line with the line that follows it in the smb.conf which causes problems even when the following line is a comment. Second, there seems to be an issue with SELinux policies and kerberos/samba. When I've properly configured /etc/krb5.conf and samba, then try to do a "net join", the action fails with the error "end point not connected". Even selecting "Disable SELinux" for smbd, nmbd, winbind and kerberos, the action fails. After "setenforce 0" the action succeeds. After the "net join" is complete, selinux can (apparently) be reset to enforcing. Finally, SWAT is evil. I used it to add a printer and it obliterated my config from system-config-samba. Is there somewhere to make a recommendation to the user to use one or the other, but not both? e.

Unable to mount cd & dvd after upgrading to FC5
by Igor Jagec 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Hi there! I've just upgraded to FC5 (from FC4) and there is a problem. I can't mount CD or DVD any more. I've never experienced that problem while I was playing with Rawhide on my test system upgrading it to FC5, or on clean FC5 install on my second test partition, but now on my main system I have :-/ I know that "Fedora Core 5 now uses gnome-mount, a more efficient mechanism that replaces fstab-sync, and uses HAL to handle mounting", but it does not work after the upgrade via install media (which went ok BTW). I even tried to run hal deamon manually, to play with gnome-mount and so on, but all of that didn't help. I tried to 'rpm -V hal', but I got no output. Is there any way to solve that problem manually? To make hal to detect my hdc and hdd devices? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec

Hello everyone out there.. We am developing a customized distro for biotech people. It will use Fedora as the base. so basically I edited comps.xml file .. that we pass as argument to createrepo.. added more rpms to Fedora/RPMS/ and a new category in comps.xml.. then executed createrepo, pkgorder, buildinstall , splittree.py.. finally the new CDs produced by splittree does not have my edited comps.xml.. and additional packages..

CD verify on FC5 disc 5.
by Russell Coker 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I've been burning some sets of FC5 CDs for friends and verifying them. I have observed that CD 5 takes an unreasonably large amount of time to verify. After the "Media Check" window disappears the system hands while virtual console 4 is giving IDE errors corresponding to logical blocks 189413 and 189414. After doing this for some time it returns and says that the test has passed. When burning CD-ROMs I put 80 sectors of blank padding to deal with crappy CD-ROM drives. In the past I found that some of my CD-ROM drives would cause the Media Check to fail if I used a mere 30 sectors of padding and so I chose 80 as an arbitrary large number to avoid that. The number 80 has done well in terms of preventing check failures and install errors. Should I consider the above failure to just be a symptom of an interaction between Linux and crappy hardware and ignore it? Or is the fact that Linux is trying to seek so far past the end of the disk due to a bug in either the kernel or anaconda? -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

I am very sorry about this. It appears a typo in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/named initscript that could cause /etc/named.caching-nameserver to be used when /etc/named.conf exists was mistakenly checked into CVS, and was not the version I was testing with :-( A new bind-9.3.2-12.{FC5,FC6} is now being built and pushed to updates ASAP.

FC5: Suspend and wireless success

Installed FC5 on a ThinkPad R50. Hibernation worked out of the box. Got a firmware rpm for ipw2100 from freshrpms. Did not touch the kernel, the modules or do any kind of config. Wireless networking and the brilliant new NetworkManager just work. I am deeply impressed. Mikko

RFE: use -Os instead of -O2 for Fedora Core 6
by David Nielsen 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Hi List We talked briefly about this cirka mid-FC5 cycle and there seemed to be a general agreement that it was an area of optimization that was worth looking into. I've taken the liberty of backing up the research paper that grants us a bit of hard data on this and putting it on my webserver: http://lovesunix.net/spaceoptimization.pdf - David

weird characters installing netscape 7
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I have some Dell 5324 network switches. To manage them via web, with firefox or epiphany I get the message "The following browsers are supported : Microsoft Internet explorer 5.5 and above Netscape Version 7.1 and above " I downloaded netscape 7.2 full installer and tried to install it, but I get weird characters in the first window and other ones.... Instead of characters in text and buttons, I get only small rectangles... This is on fc5 x86_64, while the installer is an x86 binary; I don't know if it can make any difference in README file there is for requirements: * glibc - 2.2.4 * gtk+ - 1.2.0 (1.2.5 or later preferred) * XFree86-3.3.6 * Glib 1.2.x so it is quite old (infact netscape 8 is available only for Windows) doing ldd of the installer bin I get: [gcecchi@pevit00 netscape-installer]$ ldd ./netscape-installer-bin (0xffffe000) libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0xf7e33000) libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0xf7df6000) libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0xf7df3000) libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0xf7dc9000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00b99000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x0336b000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00101000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00cee000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00bc6000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00b9f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00a64000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00a47000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0x00ded000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x00df2000) while file ./netscape-installer-bin ./netscape-installer-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped Any hint how to work around with installation or to trick the dell switch to let it think I have netscape...? Any hint on how to use wine eventually in a x86_64 fc5 system? Thanks in advance Gianluca

Long wait after FC4 install
by Gérard Milmeister 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

After the last package has been installed, the time left indicator shows 2 minutes. However, I presume the installer enters the seconds phase of yum install (Cleanup). This takes more than 2 minutes to say the least. Even if there is harddisk activity, it would be better to provide some feedback, just the same as with yum. -- Gérard Milmeister Langackerstrasse 49 CH-8057 Zürich

delrarpm in core or extras
by Joe Desbonnet 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I have just tried the 'makedeltaiso' utility in the SuSE deltarpm 3.3 package . I was able to produce a FC5 i386 DVD ISO, Test3 -> Final delta in only 300MB (10% of the size of the ISO). xdelta didn't produce any savings. I think these deltarpm utilities are well worth making available in extras or core (I estimate a RPM of 200KB). I'd volunteer myself, but I have no experience with making RPMs (yet). It also seems to be quite stable right now. Source at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/deltarpm/ Joe. PS: if anyone is interested in that delta I mentioned above, I can make it available via FTP/HTTP.

xenguest install problem
by Alastair Neil 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

I am attempting to install a FC5 xen guest on a FC5 xen0 host via http from a server with a file tree copied from the DVD-iso I downloaded via the torrent. The sha sum of the iso was correct. The host was installed also via http from the same server with no problems. during the installation anaconda bombs out with the following exception: "GroupsError: No Groups Available in any repository" I wanted to check here to see if there is a chance I am doing something stupid before filing a bug report.

Re-enable r300 dri support
by Émeric Maschino 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hi, IIRC, the device IDs of the r300-based graphics adapters were removed from the kernel just before the FC5 release, thus preventing to enable DRI on systems sporting ATI Radeon 9500 and above graphics adapters. When will these device IDs go back into the kernel so that we can test r300 dri support again? Cheers, Émeric

Re: Wild and crazy times for the development tree
by Jonathan Dieter 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

I'm currently living in a country where broadband is expensive, and, even if you have the money to pay for broadband, upload speeds are below 64kbps. Because bittorrent rewards uploading, I've found that downloading through bittorrent takes roughly double the time it takes me to download directly from the mirrors (and when my maximum download speed is 256kbps, it means the difference between a little over a day for FC5 and a little over two days). I would suspect most people with slow upload links have this problem (though I could be completely wrong). If that is the case, then the torrent statistics will be heavily biased towards users with reasonably fast upload links, and the users with slower links (who, like myself, are probably downloading the CD isos for reasons mentioned by Mike Harris in another posting) aren't accurately represented. Bear in mind that this is all based on assumptions made on my experiences which may be completely incorrect.

gnome 2.14 test updates
by Ray Strode 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hi, A number of gnome 2.14 packages didn't quite make the FC5 cut. These packages have been pushed into -updates-testing, now. For those interested in helping, please give the new packages a test run and report any problems you find with them. If all goes well we should be able to push the updates that don't cause regressions into -updates in a few days. Thanks, Ray

Polypaudio as sound server
by Pierre Ossman 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Before the rumor gets started here as well, I though I'd just like to point out that the polypaudio project is very much alive. Lennart has just been a bit lazy about updating the front web page. So to whomever is working on the sound server point in the future list, please don't skip polypaudio just because our web page is old. :) If there are any concerns about required functionality, we're always open to suggestions. The synchronized streams point that is mentioned on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6Future might be solved with our next release (where multiple streams can be synchronized to each other). -- Rgds Pierre Ossman Telephone: +46-13-21 46 00 Cendio AB Web: http://www.cendio.com

Weird yumex & selinux.
by Tim Lauridsen 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

On a newly installed FC5, with selinux set to "Enforcing" I have some problem when updating some packages with yumex. I get some scriptlet error: error: %pre(avahi-0.6.9-8.FC5.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping avahi-0.6.9-8.FC5 error: %pre(xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9 error: %post(tcsh-6.14-6.fc5.1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: %preun(avahi-0.6.9-3.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 The result is some packages have multiple versions install, other is no longer installed.: $ rpm -q xorg-x11-server-Xorg package xorg-x11-server-Xorg is not installed $ rpm -q tcsh tcsh-6.14-5.2.1 tcsh-6.14-6.fc5.1 It is only in yumex the problem exists, i yum i get no errors. (yumex uses the Yum API to do the real action). I another FC5 installation with selinux disabled i dont have these errors. Anybody got any ideas to fix there problems ???.

Mine are not - I am working on 3d simulations/animations/visualizations. For my applications, the nvidia driver outperforms the nv driver by ca. factor 10. On top of that, for the hardware I have available, the nv driver had been non-functional on one machine before FC4. > > Whether you like it or not ... reality is different. > > You should speak for yourself instead of imagining you have > a better grasp of reality than everyone else :oP ROTFL ... > > People are pragmatically using what they have/can get/are supplied with, > > and will ditch the distro or even the OS if it doesn't suite to their > > demands.

I am not talking about squeezing the "max" out of the latest and greatest graphics HW, I am talking about: - Getting 3D/GL functional at all. - Getting a reasonable 3D/GL performance. - Getting access to advanced GL features. all on moderate to old graphic NVidia cards. > Personally I think it's time for > a more rational discussion about the capabilities and performance levels > actually needed by most people. If you want to get a feeling about what I am talking about, try SceneViewer (From Inventor, in FE) with one of the models from the Large Geometry Repository, or try the Coin Examples from sim.no (Not in FE).

Re-view FC5 hardware requirements for GNOME
by Kevin Verma 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hello, Quoting on the subject, I had gone through a review article for Gnome 2.14 and I began wondering if FC5 release notes should mention a reviewed hardware requirement for GNOME 2.14 based desktop installations, as per the facts delivered in this review article ( http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/03/17/0350228 ). "Still, even allowing for my unscientific timing, the increase in speed is impressive. It should be especially welcome on older, RAM-challenged machines." For some reasons I am not using rawhide as of now, so some one else would be in a better position to suggest and test further, Rahul ? I will also like to mention couple of facts that member developers of FC team from developed countries could learn during Linux Asia 06, (since those are not qouted much anywhere else) that in developing nations, power disruptions affected and low on resources machines .... --> expect Linux installations self recoverable, --> expects software suspend an important feature, --> expects lower hardware requirements. Rahul, Chris, Greg ? Thanks & Cheers, Kevin

Unable to boot a Xen guest kernel
by Pete Zaitcev 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

For some reason, I cannot boot a Xen guest kernel which I built. "xm create" ends with: Error: Error creating domain: (22, 'Invalid argument') I downloaded a Rawhide kernel rpm (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5), ran rpmbuild -bp, then took rpms/BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15, copied configs/kernel-2.6.15-i686-xenU-PAE.config, built the kernel with "make oldconfig && make". The result, apparently, is the vmlinuz in the root directory. Does anyone have an idea what I am missing here? -- Pete

firefox packaging bug
by Dimi Paun 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hi folks, This may have already been fixed, but I figured I should note it anyhow. It seems the RPM for firefox-1.0.6-1.2.fc4.i386 gets rid of the file /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl before it is invoked in the %postun script: [root@dimi ~]# rpm -e firefox-1.0.6-1.2.fc4 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.83719: line 5: /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl: No such file or directory error: %postun(firefox-1.0.6-1.2.fc4.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Of course, if you recreate it for fun: [root@dimi ~]# mkdir /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6 [root@dimi ~]# vim /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl [root@dimi ~]# touch /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl [root@dimi ~]# chmod +x /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl The same thing will happen: [root@dimi ~]# rpm -e firefox-1.0.6-1.2.fc4 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18065: line 5: /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl: No such file or directory error: %postun(firefox-1.0.6-1.2.fc4.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 Sure enogh the file (and dir) is gone again: [root@dimi ~]# ll /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl ls: /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/firefox-rebuild-databases.pl: No such file or directory Only this gets rid of the package: [root@dimi ~]# rpm -e --noscripts firefox-1.0.6-1.2.fc4 -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

python module loading broken on fedora?
by Neal Becker 18 Mar '06

18 Mar '06

I've been trying to track down a problem with python module loading for multarch (x86_64). I think we have a problem. The discussion so far is archived here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-March/062462.html It seems that the system Fedora has setup here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python is not really correct.

ancient memtest86

The version of memtest86 included on the Fedora installer CDs as a boot option is 1.55 while the newest memtest86 is now at version 3.2 Is there a non-obvious reason why FC would include such an old version? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Reorganization of src.rpm: not arch agnostic
by Axel Thimm 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Hi Jesse, while putting together these src.rpms under one folder was a good thing, it uncovers an issue with conditional and macro-dependent BuildRequires, i.e. they become static and reveal the arch in nasty ways. For instance the current gcc src.rpm as it will be shipped with FC5 will only install (aka extract) on x86_64 systems. Other archs will need to use --nodeps. Not something one can really fix, not even really work around it in a clean fashion, but I'd rather give a heads-up to such ugly beasts. :/ -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

2GB swap partition limit?
by Émeric Maschino 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Hi, I didn't notice this earlier. On Feb. 11th, I completely reinstalled Fedora Core on my Itanium workstation using the FTP method. All ran flawlessly and, by contrast to my first attempt, the anaconda graphical screens were correctly displayed. My workstation has been upgraded to 6GB RAM. I let anaconda automatically manage the partitions on the disk. It created a 4GB swap partition in a LVM volume. But top, free and gnome-system-monitor all report that my swap space is 2GB (more precisely, 1.9GB). IIRC, there was a 2GB limit partition for the swap size in the past, but I thought this has been overcame. Isn't it the case? Cheers, Émeric

speed up Firefox start by a factor of 3 on x86
by John Reiser 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

The Firefox browser often takes 15 seconds to start because random placement of the vDSO page disrupts the pre-linking of the 133 shared libraries involved. (Fedora Core 5 Test 3, kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5, updated by yum to today, 1.1GHz Athlon Plain, 768MB RAM, ext3 UDMA100 local disk.) Similar delays are encountered by any application that uses many or large shared libraries. In contrast, Firefox always starts in 5 seconds or less on a kernel which places the vDSO intelligently: just below the .text of ld-linux or the main executable. This preserves the benefits of exec-shield (including randomization, when prelink randomizes) without destroying performance. Want to experience the difference for yourself? These two kernels have only my patch applied on top of what will be released Monday as Fedora Core 5: (14MB) http://bitwagon.com/ftp/kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.jreiser.i686.rpm (14MB) http://bitwagon.com/ftp/kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.jreiser.i686.rpm The source is (48MB) http://bitwagon.com/ftp/kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.jreiser.src.rpm (7KB) http://bitwagon.com/ftp/linux-2.6-x86-vdso-stacktop.patch While running, you can revert to FC5 standard behavior by using echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield See the .patch for documentation. This issue appears as part of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162797 --

No Joy From Attempted Hard Disk Install With T3
by Janina Sajka 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

I just attempted to install FC5T3 via hard disk and got the complaint about repo data. Just to be sure I tried both from the DVD iso and the 5 disc iso set. Is it just me? Have others succeeded installing from iso files on another hd partition? It would be nice for this to be working whith the FC5 release, of course. -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.240.715.1272 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada--Go to http://www.ScreenlessPhone.Com to learn more.

Help Needed: FC5 Blocker List and Rawhide Install Testing
by Warren Togami 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=150222&hide_… We are now attempting to fix some last minute problems. Your help would be greatly appreciated in finding solutions for the problems listed in the above FC5 Blocker list. Your testing of rawhide nightly tree installs (while not guaranteed to work) is very valuable at this point. We need to know if there are any critical installation issues that would effect FC5 install, like the nasty Bug #159026. Please also test upgrades of FC3 or FC4 systems to the nightly rawhide tree and report any problems that you see to Bugzilla. Bugzilla is the official and best way to get reports to the developers. Complaints posted only to a mailing list are very likely to be lost in the bulk. Bug reports have status, comments and resolution states so at least there is a chance of tracking your issue. Thank you for using Fedora. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

Lower Window Keybinding
by Thomas J. Baker 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

A while back my lower-window keybinding stopped working and I filed a bug against metacity. Turns out it wasn't metacity because it started working after an update and metacity hadn't changed. Well, it's back and even though metacity has been updated, I don't believe it's metacity's fault given past history. So when I type my lower-window keybinding on a window I want lowered, all that happens is the window becomes unfocused. It does not lower and it's not clear where the focus goes. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone care to guess which component might be responsible if it's not metacity? tjb -- ======================================================================= | Thomas Baker email: tjb(a)unh.edu | | Systems Programmer | | Research Computing Center voice: (603) 862-4490 | | University of New Hampshire fax: (603) 862-1761 | | 332 Morse Hall | | Durham, NH 03824 USA http://wintermute.sr.unh.edu/~tjb | =======================================================================

Recent kernels hang on resume
by Bojan Smojver 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Just for the record, the recent kernels (2032 and above it would seem), hang occasionally on resume on my notebook (this is after suspend to disk with the vanilla kernel code). The last output is: Stopping tasks: = I'm attaching the lspci output for hardware reference. Full specs of the notebook are here: http://www.rexursive.com/articles/linuxonhpze4201.html The suspend to disk/resume first started working with 2.6.15-1.1909_FC5, when a fix for ATI graphics suspend code was committed to the vanilla kernel. Things now appear to be broken again. I'm just not sure if anyone else is seeing this on their hardware, or if it's specific to this machine. -- Bojan

Fedora Core 5 Status
by Jeremy Katz 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Due to circumstances outside of our control, we're going to be unable to keep to the scheduled date of March 15th for the release of FC5 and instead are going to have to make the release date Monday, March 20th. While unfortunate in some ways, this gives us the opportunity to pull in the final GNOME 2.14 tarballs which should be available on Monday assuming the changes are suitably minor. Jeremy

Grub Fallback -- Is it for real?
by Janina Sajka 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

The grub documentation includes provides kernel failover provisions, but these don't appear to work. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-your-system-robust… Should I expect this to work? Is there some other mechanism to boot a different kernel just once--on the next boot? Associated, the docs say there should be a grub-set-default command which is also not present. What's the story with these issues? Sorry if I should be raising this elsewhere. -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.240.715.1272 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada--Go to http://www.ScreenlessPhone.Com to learn more.

match between gnome 2.14 "manifesto" and upcoming fc5 features
by Gianluca Cecchi 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

hello, as one of the core features of fc5 will be final gnome 2.14, I tried to match up what described at gnome.org "A look at Gnome 2.14" (see http://www.gnome.org/%7Edavyd/gnome-2-14/) that seems to me a sort of manifesto of the new functionalities a user will find in upcoming gnome 2.14, with fc5 at this point. Take it as a cue, to eventually refine release notes, so that users that expect fc5 <--> gnome 2.14 are aware of fc5 components. Gianluca - speed king - gslice timings: unable to try: anyone is able to tell me how to bench this? - gnome terminal performance: it is stated 1 second, while I'm not able to go under 6.5... - locked out description of pessulus (lock down editor for gnome) I could not find it neither in core nor in extras at this moment. Will fedora include a comparative component? - Push it Admin suite sabayon, to create profiles for user and groups found in fc5 extras but unable to install it due to the fact that [root@pevit00 RPMS]# yum install sabayon-admin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories extras-development [1/2] development [2/2] Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package sabayon-admin.x86_64 0:2.12.3-3 set to be updated ---> Package sabayon-admin.noarch 0:0.18-1 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: xorg-x11-Xnest for package: sabayon-admin --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-Xnest is needed by package sabayon-admin and in core the Xnest server is named now xorg-x11-server-Xnest - Searching for love it is ok, but recent decision is that beagled is disabled by default. Running search in nautilus I get unable to contact beagle daemon. manually starting beagled is ok.... - Help! Ok for x86, while when using search in yelp for x86_64 I have it crashed (I'm going to open a bugzilla number) with the messages: (yelp:5244): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to `BeagleRequest' (yelp:5244): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed Same version yelp-2.13.6-1 for both x86 and x86_64 - Message to my girl ekiga is here. Not tested yet - Look through any window . windows edge resistance: It seems to me that is not in place . multimonitor support optimizations: not tested . remote X windows: it seems ok; I have at the end of the title of remote X windows the label "(on otherhost.otherdomain.com)" . metacity composite manager: work in progress with details at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RenderingProject/aiglx but it is stated as an initial feature disabled by default also in gnome itself - You've Got The Whole World In Your Hand deskbar-applet is at the moment in extras. Ok on x86; it doesn't work for me on x86_64 (I'm going to open bugzilla point): the icon stays grey and I'm not able to wwrite in it... - Changes fast user switching: I have not been able to activate it; anyone can give help if the feature is here? - Evolution OK. I'm testing it against exchange 2003 and it seems quite more stable and performant in respect with previous versions. - Writing montage it seems ok - Sharp dressed man OK - daysleeper ok - It's only sound ok for gstreamer 0.10 part - Choices OK - Do You See What I See? Upcoming.. notification framework seems already in place, for example with low disk space and battery on laptops.

by Maccy 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Does anyone have a simple perl or shell script that will run a set of commands on a number of machines? For example install a perl cpan module on 50 machines, listed in a file. I've very much a beginner when it comes to shell scripting. Many thanks in advance! Mark

Hotplug: no more fstab entries
by Ralf Ertzinger 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi. For some time now plugging in a new device does not create an entry in /etc/fstab any more. The device shows up in nautilus just fine and can be mounted and unmounted. Working from the command line is quite a hassle, though (just like in pre-udev-days). Is this intentional?

Warning - Maxtor SATA II and Nvidia nforce4
by Dax Kelson 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Short version ============== Nvidia Nforce4 chipset with Maxtor SATA II drives with certain firmware revisions cause data corruption and system instability. This was acknowledged just in the last few weeks, see: http://maxtor.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/maxtor.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faq… Long version ============= About a year ago I got a new home uber system all decked out. I have Fedora installed plus small Windows install for gaming. AMDFX-55 Nforce4 SLI motherboard 2GB RAM Nvidia 6800GT PCIe x2 in SLI mode 300GB Maxtor SATA II HDD x2 (model 6B300S with firmware BANC1B70) Off and on I have experienced the following problems: * kernel panics * freezes * insta-reboots * on-board RAID (nforce fake raid) de-syncing * LCD blinking on and off (most common symptom for me) * segfaults and application crashes The problems were not continuous and would seemingly erratically appear. My memory tested fine with memtest86+ over repeated tests the past 12 months. I RMA'd my video cards and got a new motherboard. I was contemplating swapping my CPU when I finally did a Google search on "Maxtor nforce4" and my eyes were opened. Pages and pages of posts in hundreds of different forums. Honestly, I had a sense of relief that my culprit was identified. I'm going to go review my bug reports and close any that could possibly be related to this hardware problem. Dax Kelson

Current rawhide Anaconda LVM crash
by Dax Kelson 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Just a FYI. On my FC4, LVM using, laptop I created a LV to install rawhide on. I tried installing a March 11th 2006 rawhide tree. But ananconda bombed out when I tried to do a custom layout and tried to assign "/" to the previously created LV. This is 100% reproducible. Bug filed with full Anaconda traceback and debug info: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185272 Dax Kelson

System clock speedup with latest kernels
by John Thacker 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Anyone else seeing this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184593 ? With the last two kernels, 2.6.15-1.2032_FC5 and 2.6.15-1.2038_FC5, the system clock starts running too fast for me. It gains about an hour per day. It runs so fast that NTP won't sync to any clock servers because the jitter grows far too fast. Rebooting to kernel-2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5 works perfectly. I can switch back and forth between the working kernel-2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5 and the two broken kernels, and the behavior shifts between working and running too fast each time. (The hardware clock runs perfectly fine too.) Anyone else seeing it? Any more information that would be useful? I assume this is related to the "timer fixes" from git9 mentioned in the 2028 update, although frankly I don't know enough to be sure. Obviously, this is a blocker for me personally, but I haven't seen any other complaints. John Thacker

Re: 'everything' install option in FC5test1

The grub documentation includes provides kernel failover provisions, but these don't appear to work. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-your-system-robust… Should I expect this to work? Is there some other mechanism to boot a different kernel just once--on the next boot? Associated, the docs say there should be a grub-set-default command which is also not present. What's the story with these issues?

rawhide e2fsprogs & yum
by Steve G 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi, I've noticed a problem in rawhide just doing yum update regarding e2fsprogs on x86_64. The update fails like this: >Running Transaction Test >Finished Transaction Test > >Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man8/blkid.8.gz from install of >e2fsprogs-1.38-12 conflicts with file from package e2fsprogs-1.38-1 So, I check my rpm database and see this: >[root@dhcp83-35 ~]# ./bin/rpmdb_sanity_check >Version mismatches were found: >e2fsprogs-1.38-1.i386 >e2fsprogs-1.38-11.x86_64 So, x86_64 & i386 have different versions. So, I check to see what yum has to say about this: >[root@dhcp83-35 ~]# yum list e2fsprogs* >Reading repository metadata in from local files >Installed Packages >e2fsprogs.x86_64 1.38-11 installed >e2fsprogs.i386 1.38-1 installed >e2fsprogs-devel.x86_64 1.38-11 installed >e2fsprogs-libs.x86_64 1.38-11 installed >Available Packages >e2fsprogs.x86_64 1.38-12 development >e2fsprogs-debuginfo.i386 1.38-12 development >e2fsprogs-debuginfo.x86_64 1.38-12 development >e2fsprogs-devel.x86_64 1.38-12 development >e2fsprogs-libs.i386 1.38-12 development >e2fsprogs-libs.x86_64 1.38-12 development So...this says there are no i386 -11 or -12 packages. So, the 32 bit version must not be needed for x86_64 anymore, lets delete it: >[root@dhcp83-35 ~]# rpm -e e2fsprogs-1.38-1.i386 >error: Failed dependencies: > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) curl-7.15.1-1.2.1.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) krb5-libs-1.4.3-4.1.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) libc-client-2004g-2.2.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) neon-0.25.5-1.2.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) openssl-0.9.8a-5.2.i686 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) samba-common-3.0.21b-2.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) nss_ldap-249-1.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) gnome-vfs2-2.13.92-3.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-10.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.21-10.i386 > libcom_err.so.2 is needed by (installed) pam_krb5-2.2.6-2.2.i386 > libuuid.so.1 is needed by (installed) apr-1.2.2-7.2.i386 Well, I guess it is needed...is the repo broken ? Its been like this for a week or so. -Steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
