NetworkManager randomly dying?
by Wes Shull
Has anyone else observed NetworkManager dying on them randomly? I say
randomly because I don't see a pattern to it yet; no doubt it is
deterministic in some way.
I'm current on rawhide, including NetworkManager-0.2-1.
Nothing spectacular happens to indicate its death; I just happen to
occasionally notice the network is down, and...
# service NetworkManager status
NetworkManager dead but pid file exists
The only remotely useful thing I can find in /var/log/messages:
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: AUTO: Best wired device =
(null)
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: AUTO: Best wireless device =
(null) (null)
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager:
nm_state_modification_monitor(): beginning activation for device '(null)'
with this additional line after those in /var/log/debug (to which I have
syslog dumping *.debug):
Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager:
nm_device_activation_cancel(eth1): canceled
I'm planning on doing further debugging, but first maybe someone needs to
add the NetworkManager package to bugzilla? Or is it there and I'm just
blind?

Status of htree?
by Steve Bergman
Eeek! My previous post had a subject of:
Subject: (no subject)
I'm tempted to blame Evolution, but I fear it was my fault. ;-/
Anyways...
What is the status of htree these days? Does the current rawhide create
its filesystems with dir_index enabled during installation? What are
the relative advantages and disadvantages of htree at the current time?
Thanks (again ;-),

xorg X11 using i81x drivers is working now
by Jim Shepherd
Just upgraded to the 6.7.99.903-1 release of xorg-X11 that became
available this morning and X is finally working on my PC with i810.
Previously, X would not start when using the i810 driver and I received
the same errors as many others on this list with similar Intel chipsets.

Ah, fair enough.

That too, though both are not really serious concerns for me, but thanks :)
I turned off voluntary preemption at boot time and JFS on USB seems
more stable now.. almost as stable as -526. I discovered the problem
initially when using -526, halfway through a DVD->XviD job, I lost
access to the whole external drive. Rebooting to -533 revealed that
the situation is even worse there (until voluntary preemption is
turned off).
Would be nice to have /proc/sys/kernel knobs to control preemption
though. Are those removed by upstream or by Red Hat developers?
(Though since in this case upstream = Ingo who works for Red Hat,
there's not much difference)

xorg-x11-903 deps fail: needs libXp
by sean darcy
rpm -Fvh xorg*m
error: Failed dependencies:
libXp.so.6 is needed by xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-1
libXp.so.6 is needed by xorg-x11-tools-6.7.99.903-1
...............................
and libXp is not in xorg-x11-libs.
Is this a spec file problem, or is libXp still needed?

CUPS definately hosed

Hi,
I've done another reboot, took ages to get past starting the cups server
(which it eventually did), but looking in var/log/messages, I saw this.

Other processes killed include such favourites as modprobe (and that's
it - though it was killed 8 times!).
Is this related to cups and if not, where is it from as I think it
should be in bugzilla rather than my desktop.
Something *is* up with cups though. If I try to use system-config-
printer, the entire machine locks up, lots of HD thrashing and no
action. I have to switch the machine off to get things working again.
Very annoying!

Error installing dev update

Running "yum upgrade" generated the following...
Cannot install the dev package: mounted devfs detected.
error: %pre(dev-3.9.1-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping dev-3.9.1-1
How does one update the dev package?

Bizarre warnings with kernel 2.6.8-1.533: uba: was not changed
by Michel Salim
I am using a USB2 external hard drive with kernel 2.6.8-1.533 and keep
getting the following message:
uba: was not changed
where uba is the USB had drive (a JFS partition is on uba1, but the
message appears both before and after the partiiton is mounted)
The message appears at a rate of 1 every other second.
Has anyone seen this? It's rather harmless, but annoying..
Thanks
