graphical boot, "rhgb" and nvidia drivers
by Robert P. J. Day 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

ok, i built a new 2.6.0-test9-bk4 kernel, it booted fine, so i rebooted and added "rhgb" to the grub boot line -- still no graphical boot. but it just occurs to me to realize, this is on a machine with an nvidia video chip and a loadable nvidia module. could that be causing the problem? that the module is not loaded early enough to support a graphical boot? just casting around for ideas. sure be nice when we get all this settled. then i can ask about ALSA. :-) rday

On my desktop background there is a thin vertical strip running along the right side which is yellow on top and blue on the bottom. Anyone else seeing this?

Ok, ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/glibc/errata/2.3.2-27.9.4/ should fix it too, ie.: 54697 83973 85994 86032 88409 88456 88978 89448 90002 90036 90077 90301 90987 91567 97814 97828 98966 101261 101691 102709 103727 105348 107846 Jakub

Re: so ... how do i get a graphical boot?

Message: 12 Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 06:58:21 -0500 (EST) From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday(a)mindspring.com> To: Fedora Test List <fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com> Subject: so ... how do i get a graphical boot? Reply-To: fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com i realize that the graphical boot has been discussed on numerous occasions, but frankly, i've never seen one on my system (currently running FC3). how do i get one? (at the moment, i see the standard line-oriented boot i've seen for years). i've verified that /etc/sysconfig/init contains BOOTUP=color GRAPHICAL=yes i've perused /etc/rc.sysinit and the conditions look like they'd be satisfied. /usr/bin/rhgb is there. the file /proc/cmdline does not contain the string "nogui". so what am i missing? i figured it would be nice to see this graphical boot thingie at least once. rday In grub.conf look for the line; kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi all you have to do is add rhgb to the end of the line and the graphical boot should come up. You might have a different kernel installed but it should look the same. Mike

This does not for me: title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro rhgb root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img nor does: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb Don

redhat-config-xfree86 bug
by Ryan Nix 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Using the redhat-config-xfree86 gui doesn't seem to work. I think I might have seen a reference to this earlier this week but I'm not sure. I've tested it on two different Dell laptops and an older Gateway PIII. Anyone else have this problem?

Since nothing has changed in the Radeon drivers or X server, libGL, DRI drivers, etc. whatsoever in a long time, it is highly unlikely that any performance loss is an XFree86 driver induced problem. Oddly enough, Ingo Molnar, and several other people have remarked to me this week that OpenGL performance has magically sped up dramatically lately. I haven't changed anything which would change performance up or down, so I'm surprised anyone sees any difference at all. My guess is something in the kernel changed. Personally, I see no change in performance either way. -- Mike A. Harris ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris OS Systems Engineer - XFree86 maintainer - Red Hat I have been checking out the GL screensavers since the original release and this last release has actually worked better. The screensavers have been choppy but now they are are a lot better, smooth and no choppyness. My machine is an older pIII 600 and a I810 video with 256 megs of ram. Mike

Problem with Gnumeric printing
by Tom Cross 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

I have "Automatically find remote shared queues" enable in printconf. When I attempt to print to one of these automatically detected queues from gnumeric it doesn't work. The printer/queue will show up as one of the printers available, but nothing prints. If I do the same thing in abiword, it work just fine. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108721 Let me know if there is any additional information or logs I need to provide. Thanks -- Tom Cross <tomc(a)cloudnet.com>

I've seen mention of people using rsync to mirror fedora. What addresses and syntax are needed for that?

up2date problems with rawhide
by Gene C. 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

There are four packages currently in rawhide which give up2date fits: desktop-backgrounds-basic desktop-backgrounds-extras redhat-config-http yum The fact that these are all noarch is not the problem. The problem appears to be that there exist two different versions of each of the packages in rawhide. If you download and install these packages manually (not up2date), you will then be able to run up2date for the remainder. NOTE: up2date really needs to be made more bulletproof ... it really should not hang or give some backtrace for such an error. However, that is for the next time. I have not plans to bugzilla this. If asked, my RFE would be to completely bulletproof up2date and not just address this one problem because some other situation will cause problems. -- Gene
