My FC5 test3 problems...
by Kaspars 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi all, My broken things: * From panel, web is not opening. I copy command to command line: $htmlview %u Error: No running window found * Thunderbird is lost icon, what can see, when you are switching with alt-tab, or when it is full screen in workspace windows... * My compiled mplayer anymore not stoping XScreenSaver whyle playing... something changed? commpiled from source xmms can`t open his mpeg123 codec. * My biggest concerns - fonts and Latvian typing... Gnome and KDE system fonts are not showing ok on system, and keyboard switcher did not swith Lva, but in command line: [root@p ~]# setxkbmap lv apostrophe worked ok! Sorry, if I did`t techical correctly explayn my problems in deep, if you need, I`d love to test more... K.

I've added a changelog entry describing what I've altered. There is one very minor problem left concerning package removal in that the directory $prefix/qt-4.1/plugins/sqldrivers is left behind, but other than that it should be ok and ready for Extras submittal and review. -- Tarjei

kernel versioning
by Axel Thimm 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hi, upstream kernels that are release candidates or git sub-rcs etc. are versioned in FC/RHEL based on the previous stable kernel release, e.g. FC5's 2.6.16-rc5-git9 kernel is released as 2.6.15. I generally think that's a good idea (e.g. it *is* 2.6.15 with patches towards 2.6.16 and not yet 2.6.16, and the user is not confused that he's already running 2.6.16). But tons of kernel module projects check on the version of the kernel and trigger different code bits. These projects depend on the versioning to decide whether some features exist or not. This results to funny external Fedora-patches to these projects that only last a kernel release and are troublesome to maintain. The typical user has to hunt down these issues, upstream needs a Fedora system or someone willing to do the check on his system, and the package maintainer needs to revise his packages upon any kernel release. So there is a wish to keep the versioning in the top level Makefile as vanilla ships it. That way the checks will be more accurate and users/upstream/packagers will have less to worry about, less Fedora-only patching and so on. The downside of this is that uname -r will give a different kernel version than rpm's version, e.g. 2.6.16-xxx vs 2.6.15-yyy. If the rpm's version is adapted to the kernel's then we have the issues on epoching (which is solvable in ugly way) and that of the user's thinking they already run 2.6.16 which they don't yet (at least not the released version). Any thoughts on how to make everyone happy? :) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

The repository scoring problem - a proposal
by Ralf Ertzinger 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Hi. Every one in a while the problem of repository scoring comes up (maybe under a different name, but I chose this one): The wish of users to give different RPM repositories different "rights" with respect to the packages that can be installed from the various sources, mostly to prevent third party repositories from replacing packages installed by the core operating system. This post is not about discussing whether this is a good idea or not. I personally think this is a valid tool, but I can see that there may be other views about it. A core problem in this context is that while it is possible to determine where a package comes from at installation time this information is lost during installation, all packages installed on a system are "equal" in that there is no way to tell where they originally came from, thus making the scoring mentioned above hard to impossible. It has been proposed to add a field to the RPM file headers that can be set by the packager to indicate where the package came from. This requires work on the behalf of all packagers/repositories, and is thus not likely to work (in my opinion), or it will take a long time to actually show effect. I hereby propose a diffenent path. Do not add repository information to the RPM files (or do it anyway, it is useful information after all, just not suited for the problem at hand) but change the RPM libraries to enable programs installing packages (be it RPM itself, yum, smart or whatever) to add metadata to the installed package. The installing program knows best where it got the package it is just installing, after all, so it can add the information itself. This has the following pros and cons: Pro: * If implemented, it works right now (except for packages already installed, but other approaches have that problem, too) * It requires no work on the behalf of the packagers * It is stable against repositories changing their repository id (if such a field is added, see above) Cons: * It may not be stable against certain configuration changes in the package managing program (if, for example, yum uses it's internal repositoryid to tag packages a change to that id would create some problems) * Using different programs to manage your packages at the same time will probably not work, since they will not recognize the tags written by each other. * I do not know if such a change can be made while retaining backwards compatibility to older RPM versions (if this is desired, that is) I'd like to hear your thoughts about this. And maybe there are other ideas of what can be done with user addable metadata in the RPM package DB.

Problems with kernel-2.6.15-1.2041_FC5
by casimiro barreto 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Dear sirs, Kernel-2.6.15-1.2041_FC5 does not recognize USB devices and have problems in DNS. Also locks looking for bluetooth devices. Computer box uses an ASUS P4S800-MX SE In this board and with all the kernels up to the moment I've experienced enormous problems with linear and raid1 devices. Linux blocks (just like M$), all IRQs dead (flatline dead) and the only way is to power off the computer and restart. After that, when examining system log, not a single message indicates what can be the origin of the problem. It is really anoying and a major setback. Both linear devices and raid1 devices were built using standard (or, in other words, that should work) procedures. Both disks are SATA, identical. Partitions used for raid1 are identical in both disks (same starting point, same ending point, etc). Locks happen, usually, when burst recording large files. Best regards, Casimiro

I see, I misinterpreted the fact that all packages have a last modification date of March 6 or after, it is true that most carry the same name as in test3. Most of them have therefore been touch'ed and not rebuild, right ? And since packages based on gcc-4.1.0 and glibc-2.4 stable were indeed rebuilt after test 3, it means that most packages on FC5 will have been built with an earlier gcc/glibc (pre-release), different from that distributed in the release. As a consequence, if one takes an FC5 SRPM and does a 'rpmbuild -bb', the rpm may contain differences from the native RPM disributed with FC5. Am I right on these points ? Maybe this deserves a little note in the release notes (unless I am the only one who was confused). Thanks.

Understood, but there should be a rule that after the last release candidate, there can not be _any_ major change (such as one that triggers recompilation of all packages) and that only major regressions be fixed. And in case a major change must occur (to fix showstoppers only), then at least one more release candidate is warranted. I find GCC to be an example to follow in the way they deal with releases, both in terms of policies and in terms of enforcing them. Release candidates (which test3 should be) are exactly that, an ideal release candidate is one that is not modified at all before release. A (good) consequence of that is that one never knows how many RC will be necessary, all they know is that quality and process is what drives releases. > > The second goes the same way, arguing that if test3 is the latest test > > release, any new major component should _not_ be upgraded to a new > > release, which is particularly true for a big beast like GNOME. > > Again, the changes going in at this point are all small targeted bug > fixes as they wind down their release cycle. > > Trust me, we're looking at diffs of everything that's going in at this > point and if some component of GNOME goes off and rewrites a huge chunk > of how it works, we're not going to pull it in. This point already has 100% of packages different from what I last tested in core3. I trust you and other Fedora developers for the quality of your work, but it is entirely beside the point. The point of testing is that you avoid surprises, and you always apply the same simple rules consistently. My machines trust neither you nor me. Respecting arbitrary timelines for final releases (especially by a few weeks), although desirable, is of importance close to zero to me compared to quality. Cheers, Philippe.

Request: boot rescue environment from USB key
by Philippe Rigault 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

If one wants to boot Fedora Core from a USB key (using diskboot.img from the images directory), it is currently only possible to run the installer, but not a rescue environment. It would be very helpful to be able to boot a rescue environment from an USB key. Is that doable easily ? Cheers, Philippe

10 Mar '06

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats Later today ... or tonight ... depending on flurries of activity from ya'll, we are going to freeze the release notes beats for an edit pass prior to putting out another round of XML. Next week, with the FC 5 launch, we are going to be posting this latest release notes. The URL is prominently at the top of the release notes on the installed system. Once we unlock the Wiki, you can continue to put in changes for FC 5. If they are crucial for launch, please note that in the the changelog message, and consider filing a bug report against the release-notes component of Fedora Documentation. We have this Web launch precisely so we can be flexible up to the last few days before release to get in crucial, important, and timely information. Just don't be abusive. :) Thanks again to all of you for your support and contributions. Best. Release Notes.

other annoyances before fc5
by sean darcy 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

As fc5 is fast approaching, here are my two minor annoyances: 1. kernel messages about my dvd if there's a disk ( unmounted) in it. /var/log/messages is filled with: hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x30 { LastFailedSense=0x03 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 64 Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 8 I can read and burn dvd's just fine, so there's does not appear to be any problem, just spurious error messages. 2. With the new xkeyboard, a dialog comes up each time X is started, asking if you want the X or gnome setting. There's also a checkbox to not show the dialog again. But it's not clear if you select the checkbox if your choice is persistent. Also it's not clear that gnome is recommended. Is this only an issue on an upgrade, but not a new install?? FWIW, these are small potatoes in all the great work that's been done in a small amount of time on fc5. sean

I think threads like this are useful to establish a contact between different minds and roles, and to keep clear that these lists are not only for reporting pure software/technology related issues, that can be otherwise somehow arid and dry... For what bug reporting is related, I'm in the active part: for example in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184051 (ok the link Josh?) there was a very rapid committment from both sides... It was worth leaving for some months slackware current and put the nose inside fedora! Anyway, I understood you Mike are on my side in this thread... (just a joke, sorry ;-0 Please open the door!!! Who locked me in?!? Where are you guys: you let me alone in the classroom!

You are right, in general, but due to the imminent release date I thought I had better to post also here so that a trivial not blocking bug could have more chance to be seen and eventually forwarded... In bugzilla I posted the bug as "Normal", because we are talking about a "cosmetic" bug (only a wrong echo command inside the script for status option): these days I think mantainers are only targeted to blocking problems. Call this "efficiency through redundancy"?

NM + caching-nameserver?
by Neal Becker 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Is NM compatible with a local caching nameserver? It looks like the default NM setup is to set resolv.conf from dhcp. If I want to cache results locally, how can I do this?

Qt 4 RPM and pkg-config problem
by Tarjei Knapstad 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

A while back I posted about Qt4 rpms for development work and got pointed towards Than's rawhide SRPM at ftp://people.redhat.com/than/rawhide/. This works and I've just used the spec to build Qt 4.1.1, but it has one minor flaw which I'm not sure how to fix. All the pkg-config scripts which are installed in lib/ include the RPM build dir in the Libs: section (I need the pkg-config stuff to properly detect Qt4 using autoconf). Here's an example from QtCore.pc: Libs: -L${libdir} -lQtCore -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/home/tarjeik/rpmbuild/BUILD/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.1.1/lib -lz -lm -lpthread -ldl What is the proper way to fix this? Add a small sed line in the spec to clean out the rpmbuild dir from the .pc files after the build is complete and the files are packaged? I wouldn't be surprised if this was a common problem with a common fix, I just need to know how :) Oh, Paul F.J., did you get around to add this RPM to Extras? (can't find the bugzilla entry in case you did) Sincerely, -- Tarjei

Please "attach" files to bugzilla, instead of pasting into a massive comment
by Mike A. Harris 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Warning: Frustration rant follows. More and more over time, I am noticing a tendency of bug reporters adding log files, config files and other large files to bug reports by cutting and pasting these massive files into the comment box, instead of attaching them as proper bugzilla file attachements. As a developer, this is very irritating because it makes the bug report incredibly long to view. You have to scroll forever to get from one comment to the next, with this massive file pasted in the middle, making it very hard to follow, and thus making it more difficult to provide help for the problem being reported. It also causes bugzilla's word-wrap to affect the text being pasted, which generally breaks patches, making them no longer apply cleanly, until they're reattached properly as file attachment by the person who has the original, or causing the developer more work manually recreating the patch from scratch by hand editing the source and regenerating it with diff/gendiff. This also can cause config files pasted into comments to be distorted and no longer machine parseable, depending on the syntax of the file, and how the parser that reads it handles things that have moved from one line to another due to wordwrapping in bugzilla. Bugzilla has a file attachment feature, labeled "Create a file attachment". If you can not find it, please use your web browser's search feature to find the link on the bugzilla page, and _always_ attach these files directly as individual uncompressed text files, so that developers such as myself can bring the file attachments up in another web browser tab/window with a simple single mouse click, while still following the bug report. Bugzilla used to also have a "Create a file attachment" hyperlink directly under the "Add a comment" window in red font, which the majority of users seemed to find right away. Back then, we got very few 1Mb log files pasted into bug reports making them unreadable, however nowadays bugzilla has reverted to the old behaviour, and an ever mounting number of bugs are getting these massive files pasted into them. This is very very irritating. Please help us (developers) to help you (bug reporters/testers), by using bugzilla properly, and thinking about what it is like to be on the receiving end of 500 bug reports and get 30 like this. </rant> Feature request filed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184481 -- Mike A.

Bluetooth missing from i586 kernel config?
by Brian 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hi, I've been struggling trying to get my USB bluetooth dongle to work on my i586 based MiniITX since I started trying FC5 (Test 3). The same BT dongle worked fine under the old FC4 installation. >From what I can see, in the installed i586 kernel (2.6.15-1.2025_FC5) the drivers and net modules are all missing. To prove this I just installed the i686 kernel on another machine and bluetooth worked fine and the relevant directories with modules were present: i.e. /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2025_FC5/kernel/drivers/bluetooth /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2025_FC5/kernel/net/bluetooth This seems to have been the case for all kernel builds I've tried in the past few weeks. Is this just an error in the config file used to compile the i586 kernel, or a concious decision to leave it out (in which case, shouldn't the bluetooth service be removed too as it's throwing errors on every boot?). I'm hoping it's just an error, as I can't bear to think about having to figure out how to manually compile every single new kernel from source just to get bluetooth back on my mini-itx machine! :-( Brian

Something must be different with the computers > or accounts where it doesn't work. I did some investigating and found that this problem only occurs if /home is a separate partition. I unmounted /home and created a new account, logged in created a new text file and deleted it. All with nautilus. Trash showed the file and was able to see it under the trash window.

New /etc/services for testing available
by Phil Knirsch 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hi folks. I'd like to get some feedback on a hugely updated /etc/services i've done today. It basically merges the old /etc/services with almost all current official IANA services. I've tried to make sure the file is sane and in order, but due to the huge amount of new services i'd like to give it some selected exposure and feedback before i think about putting it into our setup package. The file can be downloaded from here: http://people.redhat.com/pknirsch/services Just dump it as a replacement in /etc (maybe making a copy of the old /etc/services first, but shouldn't be necessary as the first part of the file is identical to our old one). I'd especially like to get some feedback from people using it on network servers or monitoring machines where apps like nmap, tcpdump and ethereral are run. My main interest is if any errors pop up and if anyone gets performance problems (because for worst case scenarios it can now take up to 15 times as long for getservbyname() to complete).

beagle backup (user_xattr)
by Neal Becker 08 Mar '06

How can we backup beagle data, including user_xattr? What happens if we don't restore user_xattr correctly? Will beagle re-create it?

Help Needed: TEST FC5 KERNELS!
by Warren Togami 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/devel/ If you are running rawhide FC5 on any architecture, please update to the latest kernel here often, reboot and test. We need your feedback very quickly if a new kernel here causes regressions, because we are rapidly approaching what will become the FC5 final kernel. If your box is SMP or dual-core, please test booting the uniprocessor and multi-processor kernels if your architecture has both kernel builds. In cases where we have separate uniprocessor and SMP kernels (x86 and ppc), we need both tested because the installer uses uniprocessor while your yum updated system might not by default. Please keep in mind that we are only interested in regressions in things that would break installation and booting at this point. If issue has always existed in past Fedora, then it would not be useful to push it again now. PLEASE REPORT ONLY REGRESSIONS Thank you, Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

dropdown menu's
by Erwin Rol 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hey all, This is something that already bothers me a while, i think it never really worked as expected, but i am not sure if it is a "my machine only" kind of problem. Dropdown menu's that don't fit on the screen are not displayed correctly. For example take the gimp file-open dialog. When you move the dialog to the bottom border of the screen, and press the "All Files" dropdown menu, the menu will open, and the bottom of the menu will be aligned with the bottom of the screen, the top of the menu will be somewhere mid screen. But the first entry will be at the location of the position of the dropdown box, and so everything above that position is empty. I tried to make a screenshot, but that didn't work with the dropdown box open, i suggest to just try it. Since it happens with every GTK application, it smells like an GTK issue. - Erwin

ordinary kernels install when choosing xen
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

If you choose xen in installation, only kernel-xen-hypervisor is installed, not the ordinary uni/smp kernels on i686. Is this intentional? How could one install both xen and ordinary kernels, without doing it manually after install?

bind-chroot obsolete due to SElinux?
by Chris Tyler 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

I noticed that the bind-chroot package is no longer installed by default (FC5t3 & rawhide), even through it's still present. Should we consider bind-chroot obsolete, since SElinux should be able to provide similar protection (preventing named from touching files it should not, even if compromised)? -- Chris Tyler

re: Help Needed: FC5 Blocker List and Rawhide Install Testing
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

I could help for testing installations these latest days. I have a Dell 6650 with 4x3GHz cpus (8 with HT enabled) and 4GB of ram. I can use it for 2-3 weeks. I have configured the dell with pxe boot, picking up kickstart file via http from one server and installing via nfs from another server (this last is a FC5 X86_64 workstation). It works with fc5 test3. I'm going to automate the process of updating pxeboot fc 5 images and nfs repository, so that in about 25 minutes I can have the machine installed from scratch. and test on a daily basis or request basis (matching with my free time, of course...)

nvidiafb
by Rudolf Kastl 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hello! I am well aware that the nvidiafb/rivafb driver doesent work well together with the nvidia binary driver... that said... id be happy if nvidiafb would be built aswell. as far as i know and read it should be in the mainline kernel but it seems that the module isnt built in latest fedora development kernels, rivafb is. I am not really aware about the details regarding this "issue" or "feature request" but is there a sound reason why the nvidiafb driver isnt beeing built so one could atleast test it? regards, Rudolf Kastl p.s. radeonfb on my thinkpad works great ;)

username best practices and other conventions
by Dax Kelson 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

I was wondering if Fedora had any guidelines for valid usernames. Especially usernames that are part of base and extra packages? Since, well forever, I've understood the UNIX and Linux username best practices to be: (a) all lowercase (b) alphanumeric with exception that first char must not be a number (c) 8 char max length The origin of (a) I believe comes from the fact that historically there was a one-to-one mapping between email addresses and usernames and since email addresses are not case sensitive, usernames that only differ by case cause email ambiguities. I'm not sure the origin of (b). The origin of (c) comes from the fact that's the way it has always been and older tools and file formats make only have room for 8 characters such as old tar or cpio. Additionally once a username exceeds 8 characters some tools such as /bin/ps and /bin/ls start behaving differently. This can cause a cascade problem when sys admins write elaborate scripts or even one-off temporary scripts that because non-temporary and parse the output of /bin/ps or /bin/ls. For example, a script that is expecting the first column of /bin/ps output to be a username, might go bonkers if it encounters: avahi 2250 0.0 0.0 2744 436 ? Ss Mar01 0:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper process root 2259 0.0 0.0 3084 1172 ? Ss Mar01 0:00 cups-config-daemon 68 2269 0.0 0.1 5072 3476 ? Ss Mar01 0:02 hald root 2270 0.0 0.0 3084 1140 ? S Mar01 0:00 hald-runner 68 2276 0.0 0.0 2192 896 ? S Mar01 0:00 /usr/libexec/hald-addon-acpi 68 2285 0.0 0.0 2196 900 ? S Mar01 0:00 /usr/libexec/hald-addon-keyboard root 2292 0.0 0.0 2152 840 ? S Mar01 0:00 /usr/libexec/hald-addon-storage root 2305 0.0 0.0 1548 448 tty2 Ss+ Mar01 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty2 IMHO, Fedora should respect the traditional best practices and conventions (not speaking solely about usernames) and not violate them without good reason. It seems there is maybe a carefree indifference or possibly ignorant attitude about the "old ways". Breaking long standing conventions in itself violates the principal of least surprise -- something sys admins do not care for. In regards to the username violations on my FC4 box I see three usernames exceeding the 8 characters in length and on my rawhide box I see five. It is getting worse. For the sake of conversation here is list from a fresh rawhide install with a moderate amount of packages installed. lp = 2 adm = 3 bin = 3 ftp = 3 gdm = 3 ntp = 3 rpc = 3 rpm = 3 xfs = 3 dbus = 4 halt = 4 mail = 4 news = 4 nscd = 4 pcap = 4 root = 4 sshd = 4 sync = 4 uucp = 4 vcsa = 4 avahi = 5 games = 5 named = 5 smmsp = 5 squid = 5 apache = 6 daemon = 6 gopher = 6 nobody = 6 netdump = 7 rpcuser = 7 torrent = 7 mailnull = 8 operator = 8 shutdown = 8 distcache = 9 haldaemon = 9 nfsnobody = 9 webalizer = 9 beagleindex = 11 It isn't a universal trend, but it seems that the newer the program the longer the username. Any comments from the powers that be on this topic? Personally I'd love to see these 9+ usernames "fixed". Dax (getting a grey goatee) Kelson

is system-config-keyboard still necessary?
by Gianluca Cecchi 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

On my system with system-config-keyboard-1.2.7-1.1 If I run in Gnome the System --> Administration --> Keyboard tool, it gives absolutely nothing: only an empty window with title "Keyboard" and inside a keyboard-key icon with the text "select the appropriate keyboard for the system". Wouldn't be useful to bind this menu with the gnome-keyboard-properties command? But the last one is inside gnome control-center rpm, so I don't know impact for kde users. It could be that System --> Administration --> Keyboard actually tests for the running DE environment and depending on result it runs the corresponding program (for gnome, kde, xfce, etc.).

rawhide of 20060223: KDE fails to start
by Marcel J.E. Mol 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hello, (this is a repeat from my previous report on udev and kde, but as this does not seem to be related to udev, I reposted without the udev stuff). After I uppgraded rawhide from a couple of weeks ago to rawhide of yesterday. it seems not possible to start kde or gnome as a normal user. Starting kde as root works fine. (note X is running fine. Using failsafe xterm mode keeps X up and running) startkde: Starting up... DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-776' to 'kded' startkde: Shutting down... klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. Starting startkde from the failsafe xterm gives the same error message. I cant find any more info on waht is going wrong. KDE seems to be very silent wheng things go wrong... I reinstalled the whole kde set, and even went back to kde of FC5test3, but that does not help. Also removing the .kde tree does not help. Any suggestions?

Sluggish window moving with EXA acceleration
by Émeric Maschino 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hi, Quickly moving windows on my GNOME desktop isn't fluent with the EXA acceleration although the old XAA acceleration performs normally. Is there anybody out there experiencing the same issue? This is on an Itanium workstation sporting an AGP ATI FireGL X1 graphics adapter (R300 chipset). I didn't add any tweaking option to my xorg.conf file except for AccelMethod when using EXA. Cheers, Émeric

Postfix+LDAP segfault issues anyone?
by David Hollis 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

I updated my home server to FC5-test3/development over the weekend and everything went fine except for Postfix. I'm using Postfix to host my virtual mail domains using LDAP (Phamm schemas). After updating to Postfix-2.2.8-1.2.x86_64, trivial-rewrite would bomb out upon every message delivery. Doing some straces on it, it looks like it queries LDAP and gets a result, but suddenly segfaults for some reason, thus preventing mail delivery from happening. I tried rebuilding the postfix SRPM on my system in case it was some odd-ball library dependency issue, but I had the exact same issue. After a lot of trial and error, I pulled the postfix SRPM from FC4 (2.2.2-2) and rebuilt it on my system and downgraded to it, and all is well. I'm just wondering if this is a problem specific to something in my installation, or if other folks have seen this as well? -- David Hollis <dhollis(a)davehollis.com>

acpi command line client in core?
by Patrice Dumas 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Hello, It seems to me that there is no command line acpi client in fedora core. If I'm not wrong, maybe acpitool (that I packaged in extras) could be moved to core? It has more functionalities than the other client I found, acpi (that I've just submitted to extras). -- Pat

messy desktop icons when first log in
by Leo 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

Hi all, I'm not sure if this happens in you box too. It happens in my laptop all the way from test1. Since the release date is drawn near, I would like this bug to be closed if it is a bug. I have reported it here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183939 The problem is when I first log in gnome, the icons on the desktop are not tidily arranged. Then I do a 'Clean Up by Name' from the right click on the desktop. However, the icons get messed up in next login. Any one has the same experience? Thank you all! -- Leon

Let me know if you need more information. Thank you, Miguel.

2009 kernel hangs on amd mp when uni processor kernel chosen
by Gianluca Cecchi 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

For error I started the uniprocessor kernel on a dual MP 2200+ system and I noticed that the uniprocessor 2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5 kernel hangs up. The smp one is ok instead. Tried two times with same result. The message is: BUG: soft lockup detected on cpu#0! PID:0, comm: swapper EIP: 0060 [<c01394fe>] CPU: 0 EIP is at handle_irq_event+0x17/0x4c

Vino
by Felipe Alfaro Solana 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hello, I have been playing with VINO on Fedora Core 5 Test 3 but I find it pretty unusable. First, screen updates are painfully slow: sometimes on the real desktop I launch a gnome-terminal, but it takes up to five seconds for the window to appear on the remote VNC client (it appears almost instantly on the real desktop). Other times, working on the real desktop produces no updates on the remote VNC client. At first, I thought VINO wasn't using XDamage, but it seems it is, since "xpyinfo | grep -i damage" reveals the local X server supports the XDamage extension, and also "ldd /usr/libexec/vino-server" reveals it is linked against libXdamage.so.1. Am I the only one experiencing these issues with VINO? Thanks.

I noticed the libstdc++-so7 preview, but I haven't been able to find any information that summarizes what is new, compared with the current libstdc++. Any pointers?

Xair for x86_64
by Sadda Teh 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Any word on when the 64-bit bugs in Xair will be fixed? I have an old Voodoo 3 card (the only card I have that I could get DRI to work on with open source drivers) that I'm dying to test with aiglx and my Athlon 64 box. Thanks.

Wild cry for package documentation
by Rahul Sundaram 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hi, I send out a note to https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-March/msg00120.html to document packages in Fedora Extras is a better way when the installation or configuration procedures are non obvious and we are seeing changes such as the Games Special Interest Group (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Games) tackling http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games . I would like to see that happen for Fedora Core packages too. Use the fedora wiki whenever you can. We can publish them formally in Fedora if required. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject On a related note all the RHEL documentation is being relicensed to OPL to match the new Fedora documentation licensing requirement and thereby pushing in tons of nice documentation available soon for Fedora not to mention less duplication of work. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2006-February/msg00110.html -- -- Rahul

kernel debuginfo size

03 Mar '06

Err... would it be possible to get some solution for the "Help! I just want to run oprofile and systemtap" scenario? -rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp ftp 459625793 Mar 02 09:20 kernel-debuginfo-2.6.15-1.2008_FC5.i686.rpm is just not fun. Especially when a (uncompressed) 40MB vmlinux is all I usually want from there.

Radical Suggestion: Add TiddlyWiki FAQ Page to Fedora Core
by Paul Dickson 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

A major problem with wiki FAQs is that the user must be on-line to use them, which can be a problem if getting on-line is the problem. Perhaps something like TiddlyWiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com/) can be used to get around this problem and help with other general usage of Fedora Core too. The only requirement would be to have firefox be part of the default session setup. TiddlyWiki runs self contained within it's own web page using Javascript. No other software is needed. Only images are kept separately (in separate files, as usual for web pages). If something like this was added to FC, post-install help and FAQ's could be easily found. -Paul

games user and group
by Michael Thomas 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

I've got a few questions regarding the use of the 'games' user and group for game packages. The resulting recommended practices will be posted to the Extras/SIGs/Games wiki page. Daemon processes ================ Some games such as wesnoth and xpilot-ng come with server daemons. I see three choices for the owner of these daemon processes: 1) root (ick!) 2) Allocate a separate '<gamename>' user for each package/daemon 3) Piggyback on the 'games' user My preference would be #3. Are there any drawbacks to reusing the 'games' user to run various game daemons? Scoreboard files ================ Two packages that I recently submitted for review ('rogue' and 'ularn') use the 'games' group and a setgid executable so that all users have access to the shared scoreboard file. Are there any security issues that we need to be aware of when using setgid games? File ownership ============== Almost every package that I see in FE uses %defattr(-,root,root,-). Is there any reason why we shouldn't be using %defattr(-,games,games,-) for game packages (including documentation, manpages and such)? --Mike

printer addition not dinamically aquired by openoffice
by Gianluca Cecchi 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

With latest updates, I configured a printer while evolution and openoffice were both opened. The printer was configured as jet direct through System --> Administration --> Printing menu. After configuring and apply changes, in evolution I dinamically see the new configured printer inside the printers list, in openoffice it is not so. Closing and reopening openoffice solves the problem.

Udev issues in today's coming rawhide
by Jesse Keating 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

We're attempting to fix a problem in udev where /dev/cdrom creation is a race between multiple optical devices in a system. To work around this we will enumerate the devices as /dev/cdrom-hdc or /dev/cdrom-hdb. However for compatibility reasons, we'll still create a /dev/cdrom, and the last device found wins the race. However in the udev package found in today's rawhide, /dev/cdrom is not being created at all. This is fixed in a newer package, but did not make the rawhide push. If you have issues with udev and /dev/cdrom, please update to the udev package found here: http://people.redhat.com/jkeating/udev-hotfix/ If you notice an application you use that depends on a /dev/cdrom entry, please let us know so that we can investigate fixes for this improper behavior. Cheers! -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora

kexec and root filesystem question
by Gianluca Cecchi 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

After updating my test3 rawhide to today updates, and after reading about kexec, I decided to try it: impressive! My system is a dual amd mp with serial ata pci card, scsi pci card and other cards/devices, so bios startup phase is quite annoying, especially at 01:39 AM... ;-) And also my main bootloader is grub on CentOS 4 on first disk, with option to chainload grub of FC5, installed in its root partition on second hd... so two grub splash screens are too many at this time... So my runnning kernel was 1955smp and just installed updates and in particular the 1996smp kernel. I ran: 1) kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1996_FC5smp --initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.1996_FC5smp.img --append="ro root=/dev/sdb2 rhgb quiet" to load new kernel into memory 2) shutdown 0 to put system in single user mode and stop various services 3) kexec -e to reboot to the new loaded kernel All has gone well with immediate boot up of the kernel! Only one doubt: at boot obviously the root filesystem appears uncleanly closed and so I get the messages: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: sdb2: orphan cleanup on readonly fs ext3_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 1263797 ext3_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 819283 ext3_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 819224 EXT3-fs: sdb2: 3 orphan inodes deleted EXT3-fs: recovery complete. EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Of course, as I was in init 1, "bowls were quite slow", but the orphan clean up was not the marvellous message I like... DO I have means to avoid this situation? Furthermore with FC5 you don't get the option to check filesystem on unclean shutdown and so only replay of journal is executed (correct?) Thanks for your time Gianluca

Solution: keyboard layout problems in Fedora devel
by Mike A. Harris 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

This is a daily reminder to everyone, but in particular people who experience problems and report them before they read the mailing list archives or query bugzilla for bug reports before filing a new one: We have switched from X.Org xkbdata to xkeyboard-config data, and in the process the initial build that went into rawhide (1.0.1-5) inadvertently had backward compatibility stuff disabled. This problem has been resolved in 1.0.1-6, which should now be visible in rawhide today. If you experience *any* keyboard related problems or regressions after updating, make sure you have xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.1-6 or later installed before filing a bug report or asking for help. After you're sure you have that version or newer installed, restart X or reboot your system to ensure the changes take effect. You may also need to reconfigure your keyboard with system-config-keyboard. After verifying you're using 1.0.1-6 or later however, if you still have problems, please do report them in bugzilla against the "xorg-x11-xkbdata" component. I'll be reviewing xkbdata problems closely between now and final build, and incorporating any fixes I can muster up. Thanks to everyone for testing the new bits out! TTYL -- Mike A. Harris * Open Source Advocate * http://mharris.ca Proud Canadian.

Brazilian ABNT-2 Keyboard wrong with the last update
by casimiro barreto 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello, Brazilian ABNT-2 Keyboard got messed in the last fedora update. Particularly quotation mark-stroke key got dead (so there are no ways to write pathnames). Number pad became really the number-pad (no home, arrows or other functions). Combination of control+alt+function-key don't switch to console ... Best regards Casimiro

xorg-x11-xkbdata, xkbdata, xkeyboard-config and you
by Mike A. Harris 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

The xorg-x11-xkbdata package up until version 1.0.1-4 contained xkb data from the upstream X.Org official "xkbdata" tarball which was part of the X11R7.0 release. Ever since X.Org reformed, the primary XFree86 xkbdata maintainers split out xkbdata into a separate project on freedesktop.org, so they could maintain the data in one location for all open source X11 implementations (primarily X.Org X11, and XFree86). The new project was named "xkeyboard-config" and is in the "xkbdesc" CVS module on freedesktop.org. However, since then, both X.Org and XFree86 have shipped the traditional xkbdata that they've always shipped, and have not updated to using the new xkeyboard-config data. As such, what has happened, is that the xkbdata in both projects has rotted, with not much maintenance happening, and when bugs get reported for xkbdata, the problems get fixed in xkeyboard-config if they're present there also, and the bugs get marked closed in bugzilla. Unfortunately, the users never see the bugfixes because neither X project ships the xkeyboard-config data, and most distributions ship what X.Org or XFree86 has provided. There is fairly broad concensus that xkeyboard-config data is "the future", and also that xkbdata from X.Org is more or less totally unmaintained and abandoned. One might ask "why did they ship abandoned unmaintained xkbdata instead of shipping xkeyboard-config then?", and that's a good question. I don't know the 100% authoritative answer, but I believe it was because it was too big of a change at the time, plus the fact that the 7.0 and 6.9 releases had to be the same codebase, and that it wouldn't be easy to integrate everything into 6.9. Anyway the long and the short of it is that the GNOME project, and I believe the KDE project as well, have standardized upstream on using/expecting xkeyboard-config data present on the system, and a whole slew of nasty problems happen if you're using the X.Org or XFree86 unmaintained data. As such, since xkeyboard-config is the future, and is very actively maintained right now, we have decided to switch to using it in FC5, so long as there are no major unresolveable regressions between now and the final package build date. It is too late to change package names, or to add new package names to the OS, so I had to assimilate the xorg-x11-xkbdata package with the xkeyboard-config tarball. Other than that it should be a drop-in replacement. The new package (1.0.1-5) containing xkeyboard-config is now in rawhide, so you're all going to be using it tomorrow. Many thanks to the people who tested the pre-rawhide packages. Please note that since the new data files have not been part of the Fedora development process until now, so there could be some problems potentially. Please be sure to reconfigure your keyboards with the gnome keyboard applet, and generally pound on it. If you experience bugs/problems with the new xkbdata, please report them in the X.Org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org, in the "xkbdesc" component, and select version "0.7" if it is visible in bugzilla. Once you've filed your bug in X.Org bugzilla, feel free to file a tracking bug in Red Hat bugzilla also if you wish, and we'll track the problem for FC5 as well. There will be a new version released soon that we'll be updating too, hopefully before FC5 final as well. This should resolve various keyboard quirks that have been reported in different components throughout FC5 testing, but may introduce a few new bugs too. Overall, since it is the only maintained xkbdata however, even if there are a few bumps, they'll be ironed out via modular package updates easily enough, unlike the situation we'd have if we shipped the X.Org xkbdata and let it rot. Hope your keyboards all do the happy dance now. Enjoy. -- Mike A. Harris * Open Source Advocate * http://mharris.ca Proud Canadian.

evolution and exchange slow fetching
by Gianluca Cecchi 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello, I have latest evolution packages from rawhide and have configured an exchange user. evolution-sharp-0.10.2-8 evolution-webcal-2.4.1-3.2 evolution-2.5.92-1 evolution-connector-2.5.92-1 evolution-data-server-1.5.92-1 Fetching summary information for new messages seems quite slow. For example, if I: - open evolution and let synchronize inbox folder (3500 messages and 116MB in size) - then I'm able to work well - close evolution - open evolution immediately after - it takes quite much time (about 2 minutes) to redo fetch of summary information (to fetch actually nothing) and in the mean time I have the right screen for inbox contents that is empty, so that I'm not able to see any past message and so on I would like to have this fetch operation (that in my test btw should be in some way instantaneous) done in background and start work with my previous inbox e-mails at least. Is there a setting I have to provide in configuration for exchange account in evolution, or can I post as a bug? Where, upstream or rawhide? Gianluca

Announcement: update RPMs using delta compression for low bandwidth users
by Joe Desbonnet 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

This software is for individual Fedora users and sys-admins who need to update one or more Fedora systems that are connected to the internet with low to medium bandwidth link (eg dialup, ISDN, satellite). The problem: Not long after a new Fedora Core release, the bandwidth required to update a fresh installation can become burdensome for low/medium bandwidth internet connections. Some update RPMs can be over 80 MBytes in size, yet the update may be almost identical to the original RPM on the distribution disk. This software presents two solutions to administrators of Fedora systems: 1. A HTTP service which acts as a virtual update RPM repository. It dynamically re-creates update RPMs by downloading a small 'patch' or 'delta' file and applying it to locally stored RPMs from the original distribution. 2. A command line tool which can regenerate an update RPM repository from a delta repository + RPMs from the original distribution. In addition to the virtual update repository, this software distribution also contains the tools needed to create and maintain a delta repository. I have also made an experimental delta repository which is open to testers (subject to sufficient bandwidth). Requirements and limitations: * This system uses Michael Schroeder's deltarpm system and must be installed (documented in the installation instructions) * Java (tested with the Fedora free stack and Sun Java) * For the HTTP service you need tomcat5 (the version in the Fedora distribution will work) * For delta repository generation you need lots of RAM to process some of the larger RPMs (eg OpenOffice core). 512MB just about works with some page faulting, 1024MB+ recommended.

Yum plugin installonlyn packaging
by Wesley Harrell 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

This question is specifically about the installonlyn plugin, but is also a question regarding yum plugin packaging in general. Currently I see the installonlyn plugin included in the fedora yum-2.5 srpm, but was expecting to see it in the extras yum-utils, since I have seen other plugins within the yum-utils including changelog and fastestmirror. Is placing installonlyn within yum just a one off, or are certain plugins going to make it into yum, while others are in yum-utils? Currently it is a bit confusing, since I am expecting to look for plugins in yum-utils and would be more inclined to add a plugin to yum-utils, rather than yum. cheers, -- wesley

dmraid and mkinitrd
by Dax Kelson 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

In stock Fedora Core 5 test 3 with a mkinitrd-5.0.26 created initramfs the dmraid was not properly activated. I did a fresh install of FC5 test and upgraded to mkinitrd-5.0.28 inside the rescue environment. I rebuilt the initial ram disk and I'm happy to report that it fixes the problem. More details are available in the bug I filed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182446 Dax Kelson Guru Labs
