It seems that with the change to firefox-3 on f9 I lost my emacs keybindings. Firefox is back to using arrow keys (or soemsuch) for motion commands. \C-a no longer takes me to the beginning of the line, \C-b no longer takes me back one char, etc. This sucks pretty badly. Google only finds the old ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file method for requesting sane keybindisngs. Is there a way to do this in firefox-3 or must I upgrade to firefox-2??? -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.

Cyrus-Imap client-authentication

by Roger Grosswiler

Hello, On F8, the mechanisms in cyrus-imapd using sasl haven been changed from plaintext to plaintext+tls (default). I upgraded now to F9 - now it again doesn't work. Looking in the logs, i found some small differences: Before Upgrade: plaintext+tls After Upgrade: plaintext and this, even if the logs are showing the tls-handshake before. Is anybody aware of a change of the authentication to cyrus using sasl beteween F8 and F9? Now, i changed temporarly to digest-md5 using sasldb. Any ideas? Roger

grubby: unable to open /boot/boot.b: No such file or directory

by Thomas Rabaix

Hello, I just update my Fedora 8 with yum, and I don't want to reboot it as I get an error during the update. I cannot easily rescue it in case of problem as the host is located at a remote location (datacenter). so the /boot/boot.b is missing, the bootloader is lilo. How can I regenerate this file ? I have include more information about my configuration. Thanks for your help. Thomas INFORMATION ============ I have a Fedora 8 : # cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) I had updated the system from a FC4 to Fedora 8 a month ago, I just follow the instruction from the wiki.

FC9 boot hangs with encrypted filesystems

by Bill Davidsen

I put an encrypted f/s on an FC9 install, and the boot hung waiting for the password. Not good, so I marked it "noauto" in fstab, but it still hung. So I put it in automount and not in fstab and it still hangs, and I finally took it out of everywhere and the boot process can still see it. I want the system to boot without the filesystem, and mount it only on demand, but by simply existing it seems to be found and validated at boot time. Can someone tell me where the boot process is finding the f/s? It's not used for normal operations, only for special operations by people with the password. Is there a way to keep the boot from asking about it until used? -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Upgrade from Fedora 7 to 9, no GUI

by JUSTIN TAYLOR

I tested Fedora 9 on my desktop using a Live disk and it worked fine. I downloaded the full set of CD's and performed the upgrade, but now I do not have my GUI desktop. It boots in text mode. Any ideas where to start looking?

Fedora 9 + wifi + ssh stale connections

by Christof Haerens

LBS, Since F9 I have occasional ssh connections that are no longer responding. For now it only occurs whem I'm using my wireless connection (intel 3945ABG). When I use my UTP connection I have no problems. There is no problem with the wireless connection, because non ssh connections keep working. Connections that use underlying ssl (like vmware-server-console), are also experiencing the same problem. Any ideas? Kind regards. Christof

DC7700 + intel = no gigabit speeds

by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak

Hi all, I have a multiple HP DC7700s with integrated Intel ethernet adapters. They work when the network cable is plugged into a 10/100 port on a switch. They do not work when plugged into a 10/100/1000 port. I also have DC7700s with integrated Broadcom chips (tg3 driver) and they work fine. They all worked fine before the upgrade to F9. From dmesg: e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 0.2.0 e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Intel Corporation. ... eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:0f:fe:4a:68:37 eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection eth0: MAC: 4, PHY: 6, PBA No: 1002ff-0ff Forcing 100 Mb operation with: ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full makes everything work OK. Forcing 1 Gb operation results in flaky or dead connections. The auto-negotiated 1 Gb state is flaky/dead. Now... I can force 100 Mb operation as a workaround, but does anyone know what's causing this bug? http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453023 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10990 - Mike

different mounts leads to different permissions/acl?

by fedora

Hoi every we use a cvs environment, where the repository is mounted from the main cvs-server into each participants work-space. before fedora 9, we used cifs mounts exclusively. with fedora 9, we started using sshfs. this afternoon, i had the repository mounted using sshfs. i had a failure when committing a cvs module. cvs said: ... Checking in module/779930879.htm; /home/cvs/r/repository/module/779930879.htm,v <-- 779930879.htm new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file /home/cvs/r/repository/module/,779930879.htm, to /home/cvs/r/repository/module/779930879.htm,v: Operation not permitted [cvs@myws ~/work]$ i unmounted the repository and remounted it using cifs, whereupon the commit worked fine. i then wanted to see, what the difference is in file permissions between the two mount versions, and to my surprise, found none: user:group were the same with both mounts, also the file permissions were the same. then i tried to do manually the move cvs had complained about and got the following: repository cifs mounted: [cvs@myws ~/work]$ mv /home/cvs/r/repository/module/,779930879.htm /home/cvs/r/repository/module/779930879.htm,v mv: try to overwrite `/home/cvs/r/repository/module/779930879.htm,v', overriding mode 0544 (r-xr--r--)? y [cvs@myws ~/work]$ repository sshfs mounted: [cvs@myws ~]$ mv /home/cvs/r/repository/module/,779930879.htm /home/cvs/r/repository/module/779930879.htm,v mv: cannot move `/home/cvs/r/repository/module/,779930879.htm' to `/home/cvs/r/repository/module/779930879.htm,v': Operation not permitted [cvs@myws ~]$ i made sure, that the file i wanted to move had exactly the same permissions as when the repository was cifs mounted: it had the same permissions (r-xr--r--). for the cifs mount we use the standard fedora 9 samba installation for [home] shares: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes ; valid users = %S ; valid users = MYDOMAIN\%S as far as i can see, the difference is minimal, but it makes cvs commit fail, when the repository is sshfs mounted. can somebody explain, what the difference is, and how i could correct/work-around it? thanks in advance. suomi
