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

cone : potentially orphaned package
by Michael Schwendt 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

2011-06-23 : FTBFS not responded to 2010-06-30 : -static packaging bug not responded to Plus, release 0.89 from 20-May-2011 is available whereas Fedora contains 0.84 from 2010 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/courier/files/cone/ ). This looks like somebody with interest in Cone should sign up as co-maintainer and find out what's up with the current maintainer. http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/cone -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.82 1.09 0.87

Self Introduction
by Olivier BONHOMME 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hello everybody, I am Olivier from France. I work now as a System/Network Architect in the Spatial domain especially in Satellite telecommunications. I work every day on Linux Platform especially Fedora / Redhat / CentOS platform doing software and hardware integration, architecture and packaging work. Moreover, I try to contribute to some projects like the SUDO French translation [1] and the Fusiondirectory project. [2] On this project, I maintain the public services and I am in charge of the RPM packaging. About that I have two Review requests opened about this project [3] [4] and it would be nice to participate to the integration in Fedora. Thanks for have read me.

How can we make F17 be able to boot on Macs (with or without reFit)
by Chris Murphy 15 May '12

15 May '12

Volume 2 CSM-BIOS boot notes: Apple hardware tested: mbp41 = MacBookPro 4,1 (2008), Nvidia Geforce8600M GT. mbp82 = MacBookPro 8,2 (2011), Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6750M. All notes based on booting with the Apple-EFI option-key startup menu to choose how to boot, not rEFIt. 1. After default install using any installation type, and reboot, neither model loads GRUB2 (and thus does not boot) by default. Pre or post-install work is needed. 2. Both models CAN boot and startup Fedora to a GUI login with pre- or post-install work. a. 'nogpt' kernel parameter for Fedora only installs produces a bootable system without post-install work. b. In dual-boot (Mac OS + Fedora) anaconda isn't creating a hybrid MBR post-install, therefore Apple's EFI startup disk menu doesn't see the F16 installation. Further, creating the hybrid MBR in advance is useless as parted wipes out the hybrid MBR in favor of a protective MBR just prior to installation. (See 3 below for additional fallout of this behavior.) c. Triple boot (Mac OS, Fedora, Windows) is possible, but there are more ways this won't work, than will work. And more ways that will work, but aren't good partition schemes (invitations for data loss) since there really isn't such a thing as a safe hybrid MBR + GPT. I have found one or two that I think are about as "safe" as they can get, and it means that the user needs to install Mac OS, Windows, Fedora, in that order, but located on the disk in order: Mac OS, Fedora, Windows. 3. Anaconda + parted consistently remove pre-existing hybrid MBRs, replacing them with protective MBRs. The hybrid MBR will exist in a case where Windows has already been installed (using Apple's Bootcamp application). If removed in favor of a protective MBR, Windows is no longer bootable. So not only is Fedora not bootable, a previously bootable Windows is no longer bootable. This happens with either EFI or BIOS mode installs of Fedora. So either anaconda needs to proceed no further upon discovery of a hybrid MBR, or it needs to become pretty good at sorting out hybrid MBR and GPT schemes that are "safe". 4. gptsycnc: I don't think gptsync has such a sophisticated heuristic for creating such hybrid MBRs - I regularly see it produce very linear MBRs while suggesting huge percentages of the disk are empty. Any MBR only aware tool would see these areas as fair game - what I call an invitation for data loss and probably not a good idea. 5. If all requirements are met, Apple's startup disk menu (option-key at startup chime) will present a single "Windows" disk icon which if selected will load GRUB2 and its menu. That "Windows" label is apparently hard coded in Apple's EFI for any foreign OS requiring legacy CSM-BIOS booting. Additional EFI boot notes: 1. By default EFI//EFI/redhat/grub.efi isn't found by Apple's EFI and install a choosable option. If it and the .conf are moved to EFI//EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi and .conf, both models have an "EFI Boot" labeled disk icon in the option-key startup menu. I'm guessing like the "Windows" equivalent, that "EFI Boot" is hardwired. This is being addressed by this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755093 2. GRUB-EFI (legacy) regularly just hangs are loading the kernel and initramfs, on mbp41. I don't have this problem with GRUB2-EFI but I still have other problems mentioned in the previous email.

Reminder: Fedora password and ssh key change deadline looms (2 days left!)
by Kevin Fenzi 16 Apr '12

16 Apr '12

Just a friendly reminder: If you are a Fedora account system account holder, and haven't changed your password and uploaded a new ssh key since we announced the mandatory change, you best do so NOW. The deadline is 2011-11-30 (only 2 days away). http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2011-October/003005.html If you don't, you may no longer have access to groups you currently do (like packager, or sysadmin or ambassador). Go take a few minutes, read the announcement and security information linked to it, and change your password and upload a new ssh public key. If you aren't a Fedora contributor, the information linked in our announcement is still a great read and may just help you be more secure on your machines. :) kevin _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce

Building and exporting libgbm from the mesa package
by Ilyes Gouta 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, Any reasons on why libgbm isn't being built and packaged in the current mesa SPEC file? libgbm is a dependency for wayland-demos. The --enable-gbm configure option depends on --enable-shared-glapi. Is there any constraint? -Ilyes
