start_udev and X crashing after latest FC3T2 update
by Clyde E. Kunkel
Finished updated FC3T2 this AM and get error msg unexpected } in line 79
of /sbin/start_udev. Never get graphical login screen. Can blindly
login in, open tty2 and reboot.
Anyone else having these probs? I am not an expert by any means and
appreciate any help anyone can provide?
This is a multi-boot machine and am able to look at FC3T2 messages after
booting into FC2 and see the following about X crashing (partial
listing):

Problem with yum updates tonight?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
It could just be down to my boxes, but both at work (Salford Uni) and
home, trying to run yum update seems to be running dog slow. Infact, I
can't do an update as I get timeout errors.
Is there a problem? I'm using 4 servers for getting my updates (inc. the
RH one)

Funny thing I went around in circles with the reiserfs problem and
FC2test2. What fixed my problem was entering at the install boot
prompt: linux reiserfs selinux=0
Without the selinux=0 you should find that the installation will not
start and will hang at the point where the reiserfs formating should occur.

What version of gawk do you have installed?
If gawk version is 3.1.4-1, you must install gawk-3.1.3-9.

FC3T2 Gecko Errors
by Will H. Backman
When on http://psdam.mit.edu/rise/tutorials/management/management.html I
now get errors trying to download the XLS file there.
"XML PARSING ERROR..."
Anyone else getting that?
Warning: In general it can be a bad idea to go and follow links and
download things just because somebody asked you to. Do you trust me?

fc3t2 - a hard lockup of system during use
by Marius Andreiana
Hi
Just had a hard lockup of system during use (desktop), the hdd kept
trashing. ctrl+alt+backspace had to effect, nor switching to console.
There's nothing about this in /var/log/messages or Xorg.log.
What can I do to debug it? Can't reproduce it, but in case it happens
again. Have the output of top written to a file every second? At least
that would show what process caused it. (Anyway, an user process
shouldn't crash the system)
Thanks

I recompiled the xorg-x11-6.7.0-5.src.rpm and reinstalled
===============================================================
After downgrading to udev-032-2, all is well.
I am back in business with X and the builtin nvidia support.
I am using "xorg-x11-6.8.1-4"
I guess udev is really the package that screwed things up today.

How does one downgrade X? My X does not work at all after the update from rawhide today.

The symptoms seem to be the same regarding the i810 card. You still get
X killed when ctl-alt-Fn to a terminal while X has focus. This is at
1024x768 at 24 depth and DRI is enabled.
1400x1050 works good at 24 depth for me, no DRI. I dare not drop to 16
depth yet at higher resolutions that disable dri.
No need to drop back on X for this yet for the 815 card, unless you
could not work around prior problems with the last release candidate.
With another graphics card installed and trying out s-c-display, I could
not get the radeon and dual-head to configure. Also, with the two cards
installed (internal 815 and Radeon 7200 PCI) I could not get the 815 to
go to resolutions above 800x600. Is this a normal side-effect of having
multiple video cards installed? Or was the higher resolution cut back
for the 815 card?
To change resolutions w/ both cards installed, I have to replace
xorg.conf w/ previously configuration files for higher resolutions.

system-config-soundcard
by Féliciano Matias
Sorry for my English :o)
I spend some times with audio setting and system-config-soundcard.
My configuration is a little "special".
Two sound cards :
- 1 ens1371
- 2 via82xx
Kudzu see the cards in reverse order :
- 1 via82xx
- 2 ens1371
via82xx is set to snd-card-0 and ens1371 is set to snd-card-1 by kudzu.
But I want ens1371 to be the first card. Mostly because OSS programs
don't care about /etc/asound.conf.
Kudzu is in its own right but it's annoying me.
So I change the order card in /etc/modprobe.conf.
This trigger this bug :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133759
Next a launch system-config-soundcard to see what append.
s-c-sc don't use the card order in /etc/modprobe.conf or
/proc/asound/cards but the order of kudzu.
To solve this issue, I patch s-c-sc to reorder the card base on
/proc/asound/cards.
This give me a display less "sexy" :
before : http://feliciano.matias.free.fr/system-config-soundcard/old.png
Now : http://feliciano.matias.free.fr/system-config-soundcard/new.png
s-c-sc don't load the current configuration from /etc/asound.conf. What
you see is not what you have.
The mixer is unmuted only if "Play test sound" is clicked and only for
the first card (base on kudzu). I my case, it only unmute the second
sound card.
Perhaps related to this bug :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132575
A detail :
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz)
please, try the plug plugin (-Dplug:hw:1,0)
Dependency :
sox, alsa-lib : useless
kudzu : missing ( #33756 )
I fix these issues and "Ooops", remove all code unneeded by FC3 and do
some cleanup.
http://feliciano.matias.free.fr/system-config-soundcard/
Be careful ! It's a two days hacking with python and I _never_ use
python before !
Since my version is not close to Fedora, I doubt Fedora want to make it
upstream.
So, what bug should I file ?
All ?
