Sound problems with the 533 kernel
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
No problems with sound under the 2.6.8-1.532 kernel, but under 533 I get
no sound out until I run system-config-soundcard.
Once that has been run, I am able to use xmms. However, the gnome volume
control is not detecting either of my soundcards. Doesn't seem to be
anything on bugzilla. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
TTFN

did something drastically change with the 532 with regard to how usb devices are hanndled?
by Jef Spaleta
I'm getting TONS of I/O errors in /var/log/messages using
kernel-2.6.8-1.532smp
when trying to plug in usb mass-storage devices.
At boot up I see this, probably from my usb flash card reader:
Aug 28 13:22:31 goober kernel: uba: device 5 capacity nsec 50 bsize 512
Aug 28 13:22:31 goober kernel: uba: made changed
Aug 28 13:22:31 goober kernel: uba: device 5 capacity nsec 50 bsize 512
Aug 28 13:22:31 goober kernel: uba: device 5 capacity nsec 50 bsize 512
Aug 28 13:22:31 goober kernel: uba:end_request: I/O error, dev uba, sector 0
Aug 28 13:22:31 goober kernel: Buffer I/O error on device uba, logical block 0
Aug 28 13:22:31 goober kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev uba, sector 2
etc.....
when i plug in my usbdrive after boot up i see this:
Aug 28 13:26:39 goober kernel: ubb: device 6 capacity nsec 50 bsize 512
Aug 28 13:26:39 goober kernel: ubb: made changed
Aug 28 13:26:39 goober kernel: ubb: device 6 capacity nsec 50 bsize 512
Aug 28 13:26:39 goober kernel: ubb: device 6 capacity nsec 50 bsize 512
Aug 28 13:26:39 goober kernel: ubb:end_request: I/O error, dev ubb, sector 0
Aug 28 13:26:39 goober kernel: Buffer I/O error on device ubb, logical block 0
Aug 28 13:26:39 goober kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev ubb, sector 2
and the red led on my usb keydrive is going NUTS.
I take it this is a "feature" of ub. Just when i thought I was going
to get all my hotplug issues worked out... BAM... ub decides to sneak
up on me and stabs me in the back.
Before I file this... is anyone else seeing a firehose of I/O in their
logs from ub?
I downgraded to the 526smp and things are as expected... in fact the
lasted rawhide updates
gives me back my floppy and cd drive mount points... in /media
-jef"wonders whats going to break now that his cd drive is showing up

messagebus/eggcups high cpu usage -- glxgears slow
by Marcus Schuetz
Hello,
for a few weeks now (I am running up to date rawhide) when I run
glxgears I get ~ 6fps 9 out of 10 times and 1 out of 10 the normal 1700
fps. Top shows me between dbus-daemon-1 and eggcups almost ~90% cpu
usage. If I stop messagebus everything is peachy. Has anybody else seen
this, is this a known problem (I searched bugzilla and didn't find
anything, but then I could have looked for the wrong terms) and most
importantly, does anybody have a soulution?
Thanks,

SELinux seems to be in a good state, if any interest in trying it out. (targeted anyway)
by Jim Cornette
After a little trouble getting SELinux to boot on my computer, things
look promising with the current state of SELinux running in targeted
mode and enforcing. (A lot of advice from the SELinux list conversations)
If there is any interest in trying it out now, I thought I'd mention
that it does not yet get in the way and seems pretty much not noticeable
that it is even in enforcing. (A great feature)

Using hint from MA Young - find duplicates
by Jim Cornette
Since I was curious as to the extent of duplicate programs installed. I
decided to search the redhat site to determine how many programs were
multiple installs. After running the script from a posting from MA
Young, here is what appeared duplicated. This is an ataached files.
The query below shows one example for translation of the attached file.
rpm -q binutils
binutils-2.15.91.0.2-4
binutils-2.15.91.0.2-8
rpm -q compat-libstdc++
compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.1
compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.3.2-0.8
rpm-4.3.2-0.10
I don't understand the script, but the "hit list" seems to reveal
multiple installed rpms.
gpg-keys and kernel rpms is all I figured were legitimate duplicated
packages.
Should I reinstall, or is there an easier way to remove duplicates?
rpm -q --verify reveals what seems to be just a database not getting updated
rpm -q --verify rpm-4.3.2-0.8

The Application "eggcups" has quit unexpectedly
by Gerry Tool
Since I upgraded about 20 packages today, I get an Error window with
this message. It also says "You can inform the developers of what
happened to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application right
now."
Restarting results in yet more windows of the same type, as does Closing
the window.
Anyone else seeing this? Should I enter a new bug against
desktop-printing.?

Re: CUPs on reboot problem
by Gerry Tool
Paul, I am experiencing the same problem, but was able to get the boot
to complete by removing the "rhgb quiet" from the grub.conf kernel
line. However, my printing is hosed - gets stuck on trying to access
the network print controller.

Blank screen after LOGOUT
by Alessandro Torrisi
Hi ! I've got a problem with my FC 2, very very strange.
I use KDE and when I logout to GDM nothing appears in my LCD screen...
Then I power-off the screen, and after some minutes (probably ten minutes) I
power on the screen and my login screen is BACK !!!
Probably a timeout ??? What is happening ? The same thing when I switch from a
TTY to another !
Please HELP ME!!!
Best regards, Alex..

corrupted rpm db listing anyone?
by Jim Cornette
I was just querying certain rpms that were installed on my system. They
came back listing several versions of the same rpms.
Kudzu, hal and udev were some of the programs that came back claimimg
multiple version installations.
kudzu-1.1.81-1
kudzu-1.1.82-1
hal-0.2.97.cvs20040827-2
hal-0.2.97.cvs20040827-3
udev-030-7
udev-030-10
I removed the dupes from the older version, as a normal user
sucessfully. This removed the extra listing from the db.
As an example:
rpm -q udev
udev-030-7
udev-030-10
[jim@cornette-fc3 ~]$ rpm -e --justdb udev-030-7
error: package udev-030-7 is not installed
[jim@cornette-fc3 ~]$ rpm -q udev
udev-030-10
I didn't know that removing the db entry was possible as a regular user.
I did an rpm --rebuilddb as root afterwards but am curious if this
problem effects others.

Yeah, I can understand the frustration at this. I agree that if
someone's having a problem with an binary-only driver, their only
recourse is the provider of that driver.
================================================================
Of course, but the frustration should be directed torward the vendor/maintainer of the binary-only driver. There will always be binary- only. Vendors want to make a lot of money and protect their secrets. This is known as competition. For example, if NVIDIA wants to keep selling me their hardware they had better keep producing a good binary-only driver. I think it would be better if NVIDIA open-sourced everything but don't hold your breath.
Well as long as I can play unreal tournament I am happy.
Bottom-line: maintaining a binary-only driver may not so easy when the kernel evolves. The PWCX maintainer should just deal with it and not "throw in the towel"
Thanks,
Ernesto
