moving a fedora 7 to rawhide
by Antonio Olivares 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Dear folks, since Fedora 7 is slowly passing away, support is ending EOL, I decided to update it to rawhide, since Fedora 8 is not what I wanted to update it to. I downloaded the fedora-release-8.92 rpm and installed it and the fedora-notes which was a prerequisite for fedora-release then I disabled fedora repo and enabled development repo and on the journey begins. I am following the advice from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Testing I have encountered a few issues, namely the kernel does not boot --??185. I have to boot to 2.6.23.15?? only since the machine only boots two kernels I have to resort to booting it. A few conflicts here and there, Is there a cleanup script that checks for fc7 rpms and deletes them and finds corresponding fc9 rpms? I know that updating a dying Fedora 7 to rawhide is not recommended, but I said what the heck, if I get burned, I'll just get Fedora-9-Beta media and install from there. I just want a script if it exists and try to sort things out and hopefully make the machine boot into the newer kernels and get going from there. Thanks in Advance, Antonio ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.

An internal system error has occured
by Michael Schwendt 04 Apr '08

----- An internal system error has occured Do not show this notification again ----- Is what I see on the F9 Desktop in the bottom right corner. Looks like PackageKit, whose icon appeared a short time before that.

gdm login page look&feel
by Gianluca Cecchi 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Is the current one intended to be also the final? And the same for final backgrounds? I don't hope so... f8 gdm login is much better! In my opinion obviously Hopefully the art team will impress us.... I went also throuh http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F9Themes and f9 art milestones... should I presume is this completed? Thanks, Gianluca

Rawhide 4th April - some observations
by mike cloaked 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

After today's rawhide updates I notice: 1) Immediately after booting to the KDE desktop the mouse tap works. It continues to work fine during the KDE session without a problem. If I logout from KDE and then log back in then the mouse tap no longer works (it may have been this way after last night's updates also) Rebooting and going straight into KDE then returns normal mouse function. 2) I tried plugging in a bluetooth usb adapter. The adapter is recognised OK by the system, and I can start kdebluetooth in KDE (service bluetooth start has been done OK at this point). However if I ask it to search for new input device then the bluetooth icon flashes as if it is searching but it never finds the bluetooth mouse on which I have pushed the reset button.

Grub bootable CD won't work on SATA CD ROM
by Clyde E. Kunkel 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

In the past I have used a CD-RW as a bootable grub with a grub.conf and eltorito stage 2 as a quick rescue if for some reason couldn't boot the system but I know all else was ok. However, after upgrading to a system with the CD ROM on a SATA port, discovered that even tho you could boot the grub CD-RW, all you get is the grub> prompt. Trying the disk in a system with an EIDE CD-ROM drive, the CD-RW still worked fine. So, stuck an USB CD-ROM drive on the SATA system and, voila, works well (after telling bios that the USB CD drive was a boot device vice the SATA CD drive). So, since the upstream grub folks are focused on grub 2, would the Fedora grub maintainer look kindly on a low priority bz on this? Given the workaround, maybe just waiting for grub 2 is the best approach? Or, even better, is there a quick fix that could be applied? (I know I could use a rescue CD, but just can't stand having something not work that should "just work.") Thanks, and kind regards, Old Fart

F8 GRUB cannot access F9-Beta root
by Michael Schwendt 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Sigh. F9-Beta doesn't like to be tested. First, Anaconda gave a traceback upon being told to use a GRUB device other than MBR. Then, during the next attempt, I installed GRUB into MBR. But after restoring F8's GRUB, I found out that it cannot access F9-Beta's root partition. That would have been my way to boot into it from the command-line. But it fails to find /boot/grub/grub.conf on it and errors out (2: Bad file or directory type) even if I specify it myself. It seems to be incompatible with F9.

Noticed recently that I'm getting lots of these: failed to create drawable failed to create drawable failed to create drawable failed to create drawable failed to create drawable failed to create drawable failed to create drawable failed to create drawable in ~/.xsession-errors. >From monitoring/timing, appear to get one each time a window/menu/alert pops up on screen.

NM + F9 + Broadband card = rocks!
by Justin Conover 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Dropped in one of my sprint air cards (usb) to F9 beta + yesterday updates. Lights flashed, clicked on NM and connect to CDMA. Very cool! I'll test my pcmcia card tonight. Thanks for all the hard work!
