Re: Missing Hardware After Update
by Gene Poole 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Initial Message: I'm running Fedora 9 on a custom AMD Phenom Quad-Core with 8GB RAM installed, 2-SATA hard drives (Seagate 500GB and Seagate 1TB); HP DVD/CD RW Dual Layer with Lightscribe. Lo and behold, I've updated my running (this machine) from kernel 2.6.25-14 to kernel 2.6.27.19-78.2.30 (?) and have experienced the following: 1. My dual-layer DVD/RW and CD/RW drive has disappeared (it was /dev/sr0) The only messages I see that appear to be of concern are: [root@jpdsys3 log]# cat messages | grep -i reset | more Mar 22 14:46:30 jpdsys3 kernel: ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) Mar 22 14:46:30 jpdsys3 kernel: ata2: softreset failed (device not ready) Mar 22 14:53:55 jpdsys3 kernel: ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) Mar 22 14:53:55 jpdsys3 kernel: ata2: softreset failed (device not ready) All of the devices are SATA except the DVD drive. Alan Cox Suggestion: First thing - boot the old kernel (hit a key during grub and select the old one it kept) and make sure it still appears there, then boot the new kernel again so you are sure it is reproducible and depends on the kernel which I suspect will be the case. Results: During the boot (I've got the inittab set to 3) I noticed that the message 'Starting udev' took much longer. After the reboot and log on as root, I entered: ls -ltr /dev/sr0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 11, 0 2009-03-24 21:20 /dev/sr0 mount /dev/sr0 /media/dvdrw --message stating that the media was mounted as read only-- I'm now back to my original question, How can I get /dev/sr0 back using my updated kernel? TIA, Gene

Disk quotas on INBOXes
by Ashley M. Kirchner 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Our user e-mail INBOXes are sitting in /var/mail/[user]. Does anyone know of a way for me to institute per-user quota on their INBOXes? See our problem is that while I can apply user-quotas on /home/[user], that doesn't take into account what's on /var/mail/[user] ... and some users are leaving their e-mail sitting in their INBOX because they don't want to eat up their user quota. So, I want to limit the size of their INBOX file as well, through quotas. Possible?

Ayuda con GRUB
by Andres Guzman 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Camaradas buenas noches, quisiera pedire su ayuda en un tema que ya no le encuentro solucion, el problema es que en mi laptop tengo instalado Win XP (hd0,0) y Fedora 9 (hd0,5). El problema es que necesito reinstalar windows, ahora el problema esta es que no puedo botear con el cd de XP (despues de presionar el boton de comenzar con CD) la pantalla se va a negro y nop hace nada, esto con cualquier cd para botear. Eh tratado de todo, creo que la manera mas facil es desinstalar el GRUB (cosa que no se como hacer), para luego poder instalar WinXP y despues reinstalar el grub. O existira alguna otra forma de poder hacer que corra el cd de XP. Les agradecería mucho su ayuda, desde ya muchas gracias.

FC 10/KDE what is the best Virtualization program for FC10, to run Windows XP in. I understand because my AMD Athlon doesn't have a "svm" feature I can't run KVM, and VM Ware is slow ?

Re: Disabling mouse taps on Fedora 10 (solved)
by linux media 4 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

I not only wanted to send a 'Solved' post, but pieced together a step by step on how to do this from all the posts... Copy/Rename the FDI file... cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi \ /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi edit this file (11-synaptics.fdi) as indicated in the thread appropriate section for your touchpad (you can discover which touchpad section by 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices') Reboot I added: <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge> (allowing 'on the fly' shutting on and off of features with 'synclient') <merge key="input.x11_options.TouchpadOff" type="string">2</merge> (Turns the mouse pad tapping (and other) features off) I can still do: synclient TouchpadOff=0 to turn the features on. My /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi is in the paste bin as an example... http://fpaste.org/paste/3891 Thanks, Rocco

grub question
by François Patte 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I have persistent problem at bootup: boot hangs at the beginning for some "inconsistency" in my /dev/md0 partition. I installed my f10 on 2 drives with software raid1 partitions end /dev/md0 is my / partition. cat /proc/mdstat md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1] 1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU] following instructions in some RAID howto, I installed grub on the 2 drives sdb and sdc *but* once I made a mistake and instead of typing grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb (or c, i don't remember) grub> root (hd1,0) grub> setup (hd1) I replace the first line by: grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb1 (or c1) I don't know exactly what happens in this case, but I am wondering if grug has not installed some files in md0, causing the boot failure for "inconsistency". If it is pertinent to think so, I have 2 questions: 1- How to validate this, ie. what are these files and how to "see" them? 2- How to remove them?

I have another problem. There's two WINE menu items in "Applications" menu. Both of them called "WINE". In both of them there's the same program - Macromedia Flash 2004. I'm using WINE since 0.97 version. Now I have wine-1.1.14-1.fc9.i386. I want to know how to edit those menu items to join two entries. Thank you. -- Hiisi.
