Same difference. What happens when you do "click the screen"? 
Can you watch the full-length video or not?

Re: Minor problem with sudo in F12 [solved]

On 11/18/2009 08:07 PM, Joachim Backes wrote:

When entering sudo, there is always a little pause of

How to prevent from this ? Is this a configurable parameter in /etc/sudoers?

All comments are welcome

Kind regards




Solved:

I had misconfigured the network controls: I had to change the hostname, 
and I did it only in /etc/sysconfig/network, not at all other affected 
places.


After having adjusted *all affected* controls, sudo now runs flawless.

Re: mplayer works, gmplayer doesn't

Over quite some time, probably a year or so, I've noticed that gmplayer
would crash (or spew so many errors that it was unusable) with many MPEG
files that mplayer would simply just play.  They're not *exactly* the
same program.

The Gnome mplayer and smplayer seemed better, than gmplayer, if I wanted
a graphical interface.  And when using some of these other "interfaces
to mplayer" it's possible to configure each one differently.  That can
trip you up if you forget that you've tweaked one, but not the other, or
one has different defaults.

The kernel often copies a bit more data that was requested from a CD / 
DVD (I don't understand why, but I don't think dd is a workaround).  
What I do is just compare the CD / DVD with the original file with `cmp 
dev/dvd my.iso` and I usually get an error like "EOF on my.iso", which 
means that all the data in the original file matches the DVD.

That would work if /boot follows the LVM partition, but not if it is 
before.  But without parted / gparted support, one must still know to 
have free space on the LVM (not allocated to any LV), use pvresize, and 
then shrink the basic partition.  And this is the easy case, where the 
partition doesn't need to be moved.

  in fact, downloading the source rpm for guile-1.8.7 and using
"rpmbuild" to try to build the binary also fails with the same error.
i think it's BZ time.

  i know, but that's not the issue.  longer story -- i'm trying to
build it as part of a larger openembedded image, and the native build
of that package keeps failing.  as a test, i just tried what i was
suggesting -- grab the tarball, download it and configure and make, to
use as a benchmark for a native build.  that *also* failed on this
system, which allows me to at least suspect it's not an OE issue, it's
a guile build issue related to fedora, or at least related to this
dog's breakfast version of fedora i have running now.

  i just want to know if a stock f12 system can build that package
from tarball.

Are you sure you didn't get one of those pop up windows asking you 
to type in the root password to Authorize something, and did read
it properly ?

I you un-mount the filesystems/reboot and log in as another user are they
remounted ?  Stuff on /media is usually mount by gnome-mount I believe
same if you inserted a CD in the DVD drive or plugged in a flash drive
in your USB port.

Re: How to compute sha256sum

[Eric Smith]

The problem is that when you read the CD-ROM as a raw device, it will return
more data than the length of the ISO image; there are almost always some
additional sectors of padding beyond the end of the image.  Even dd'ing from
the CD-ROM into shasum won't work unless you tell dd the number of blocks to
copy, so that you don't include the padding.

Try something like
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=foo.img bs=2k count=`isosize -d 2048 /dev/sr0` |
sha256sum -

Note the backquotes for command substitution of the output of isosize.

I haven't tried this just now, so it's possible that I've got the details
wrong.

can anyone build guile-1.8.7 on f12?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  long story short:  can anyone running f12 download the guile-1.8.7
tarball from here:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/guile/guile-1.8.7.tar.gz

and just do the basic:

  $ ./configure
  $ make

and see if it builds?  i'm still running a frankenstein version of
rawhide-updated f11 and it's failing for me, and i won't have time to
do the f12 fresh install until this weekend.  i just want to know if
that's going to solve the problem.  a simple yes or no is all i'm
after.

rday

p.s.  you'll need to install libtool-ltdl-devel for that build.

Then

How to compute sha256sum

[Reg Clemens]

This may seem to be a stupid question, but .

I can download a iso image of Fedora, then do a sha256sum of the file
and I get the result shown in the SHASUM file.

I can burn a DVD with k3b, ask for it to verify the checksum, and
have it say the checksum is OK.

But if I just do
sha256sum /dev/cdrom

I get a result which is NOT the published sum, even tho k3b said the
sum was going to be OK.

So what am I doing wrong?  (and yes cdrom and dvd both point to sr0)

Running without sound hardware

[Bill Davidsen]

It looks as if the problem I was trying to bug report with metacity crashing is 
due to lack of sound hardware. Even though I disabled generation of stupid 
sounds in preferences, doing anything which might generate a sound causes a 
metacity crash.


The things I was doing were clicking another desktop in the selector or trying 
to use TAB to complete a filename.


Anyone running in real or virtual hardware with no sound seeing this?

Re: disabling automount in Fedora 12

[Eric Smith]

Thanks Tom!  That at least gave me a hint as to where this is happening.  I
used the sledgehammer approach of removing the DeviceKit-disks package
entirely.  That works, but a very cryptic error window does pop up every
time I plug in a disk, and I don't get optical media automounted either.
There ought to be a better solution, but this at least solves my immediate
problem.

Years ago, there was a media preferences item that had simple checkboxes to
control automounting.  It would be nice if that came back.  At some point it
went away in favor of the authorizations which has now gone away as well.  I
think someone was confused, as setting system policy for who has permission
to mount devices should be completely orthogonal to whether a particular
user wants devices automounted.  In other words, just because I have
permission from the administrator doesn't mean that I always want it to
happen; I should still be able to disable it.  (Obviously if the
administrator doesn't give me permission, the user setting to enable it
isn't going to actually let me mount disks.)

Writing DVDs on F11

[Paolo Galtieri]

I have a 64bit laptop running F11.  I downloaded both the i386 and x86_64
versions of the F12 DVD iso images.  When I bring up the file browser, right
click on the i386 iso image and select write to disk when the write
completes I get an error message indicating that some of the files on the
disk may be corrupted.  This error occurred 3 out of 3 times.  I did the
same thing with the x86_64  iso image and it had no error 2 out of 2 times.
So what the heck is going on?  Is this a problem with brasero or a problem
with the driver for my cdrom?

Gnome: Fedora 12 Cant get rid of USA keyboard definition.

[Leslie Satenstein]

Cant get rid of USA keyboard definition.

Dont know what to do in regards to filing a bug. My system default has the 
French Canadian keyboard ca(fr) as the default.  In fact, when my user was 
created, it was not selected, and I had the USA keyboard as default (GNOME).

Adding the "French Canadian" in GNOME and setting it as a default in GNOME does 
not work until I delete the USA entry, after which the keyboard characters are 
translated correctly until logout. In logging in again, my French Canadian 
Keyboard is still the default, but the USA definition is has returned, not as a 
default, but has usurped the CF keyboard. How do I fix this problem 
permenantly?

Re: F12 installs report here.

Although I normally do a clean install, this time I put in the dvd and
elected to upgrade instead of doing a clean install.

It went without a hitch, and even set grub to boot to a command screen
and not the gui. It was a great experience, every thing works without
having to go through all the configuring with a clean install.

I will do my laptop tomorrow, and am considering a clean install on it.

I added the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-zzz-local.rules
which contains a bunch of lines like:

ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="BACKUP", ENV{DKD_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"

to hide specific devices with specific disk labels, possibly
something similar with some kind of wildcard could hide everything?

Of course, the technique I use most of the time is to just
not run Gnome or KDE, so none of the nautilus nonsense

F12 fixed the sound problems F11 introduced on my machine, and does better automatic X config

[Eric Smith]

I had the dreaded "low volume" problem with Fedora 11, and none of the
things I tried would fix it, but with Fedora 12 I don't have the problem.
Woo-hoo!

Also, Fedora 12 figured out by itself to put my two monitors side-by-side,
rather than mirrored.  With Fedora 11 it took me several hours to figure out
how to craft a suitable xorg.conf, but with Fedora 12 it "just works".

disabling automount in Fedora 12

[Eric Smith]

With each successive release of Fedora, it gets more difficult to disable
automounting of disk drives.  The manual page for DeviceKit is one of the
least helpful ever.  What do I need to put in a config file or rip out of
the system to keep it from automounting?

I don't particularly need fine-grained control over who and what gets
automounting.  I just want it disabled, period.  I routinely have to plug in
questionable devices for diagnostic purposes, and I don't want any attempt
made to do anything to the filesystems on these devices until I say so.

Is there an easy way to see what a tinyurl points to without actually

Depending on exactly what numbers you need, NTop is also a
possibility. It's dead easy to set up, and it's capable of breaking
out separate interfaces. The level of detail will be enormous, but
it's actually (IMHO) much easier/faster to get running than either
Cacti or MRTG.

If you're good with any scripting languages, you might want to
consider just polling the kernel's interface counters, yourself, via 
a regular 'cron' job. That might not be an option, though, depending 
on your skill level.


If the problem is sorting out which traffic went through the pay 
connection, perhaps IPTables could be used.  Just an idea...



If the NIC sees all the packets you can get a rough approximation:
 iptables -I INPUT ! -s 10.0.1.0/24  #<- your LAN net address here
 iptables -I OUTPUT ! -s 10.0.1.0/24 #<- and here

run that at the start of the month, then
 iptables -L INPUT -nv | head
 iptables -L OUTPUT -nv | head

would give you the packets and bytes sent to (received from) non-local IP 
addresses. Ugly, inconvenient, must be started at the beginning of the month, 
data lost on reboot, all of which you could hack around with clever scripts, but 
there must be a better way.


The better way is probably MRTG or similar, which are complex to install, then 
work well and do what you want. I'd skip iptables, it's pretty ugly and high 
overhead to do right.

You mentioned being able to "restore my F11 system from backup".
Did that backup have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
if so, try pulling a copy of just that file which may have the appropriate [h|v]sync and mode lines 
in it.
another alternative is if /var/log/Xorg.0.log* got backed up, restore those to /tmp and look in them 
for the appropriate information (takes a bit to grok them, but the info is there).


Todd, who is thanking himself for backing up the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the old laptop that 
recently got updated. :)

Automatic bug reporter - not

[Bill Davidsen]

After going to dinner and doing some other work, about 90 minutes in all, the 
ABR finished "Determining list of packages for 1 missing debuginfos" and 
downloaded what it needed. And then it asked if I wanted to send the report, one 
tiny section at a time, and then said connection to bugzilla failed.


Someone should look at the bug reported in SeaMonkey and see how it's done. Long 
delays, report failures, expecting the user to have a login on the report 
collecting site?


The live CD was a delight, the install is crap, metacity fails constantly, 
libcanberra crashes, etc, etc.


I knew that if X kept crashing I should boot in a terminal and run 'yum upgrade' 
from cli, but the average user may not. And fully updated it still doesn't work 
in X, the reported tool is unusably slow etc.


I'm going to try install from the live CD next, the DVD has bugs and the bug 
reporter does as well. Maybe I'll see if KDE is stable, although the GNOME was 
great in the Live-CD.


Don't expect any bug reporter from me, it's still looking for the debuginfo for 
one package, 71 minutes later. Life is too short for a tool like that, fc13 will 
be out before it finishes. ;-)

What about, shrink your LVM partition, add a new large boot partition,
use that for the installation, then leave the new one as-is, or move the
real boot stuff into your old boot partition, then get rid of the new
one?

will yum-plugin-priorities fix my adobe repo problems?

[Tom Horsley]

I installed the adobe yum repo in my x86_64 f12 system
at work.

I then tried to install adobe reader and flash, and
the english adobe reader tried to drag in the spanish
adobe reader and flash tried to drag in the swedish
adobe reader :-).

My theory is that some 32 bit libs that reader and flash need
are packaged up with some versions of reader in other
languages, so it tried to grab them from the same repo.

When I just downloaded the 2 rpms I wanted, disabled
the adobe repo, and did a yum localinstall, it was
able to download all the 32 bit libs it needed from
the proper fedora repos, and they both installed with
no problem.

Would it be safe to re-enable the adobe repo if I add
the yum-plugin-priorities package and configure the
adobe repo priority so low it has to reach up to
touch the bottom? :-).

It did the little filling up icon, then the Fedora icon, then blank
text screen with two flashing cursors at the beginning of the first
two lines, then a single cursor, no disk activity. A ctrl-alt-del did
a normal shutdown. Tried a few times and thats as far as I got.

Installing F12 from scratch worked fine though, though I lost my GIT
server setup, and other misc things :(

UEFI-bootable CD/DVD Questions

[J. Bates]

The Wiki pages on UEFI features in Fedora leave me wondering a couple
things:

-They say "We can't create dual-boot CD/DVD install media for Fedora 11
or Fedora 12 without breaking many supported systems." And so it
suggests you use boot.iso (which appears to be the same as netinst.iso,
correct me if I'm wrong). Does that mean boot.iso can dual-boot but also
breaks compatibility, or is there a special way to burn it?

-It also says "Both the BIOS and UEFI boot images are included on the
installation media, however, so that you can create your own
UEFI-bootable CD/DVD if desired." Are these the files under the "images"
directory or some sort of separate file system invisible to the user,
and how to I create my own disc this way?

-Why isn't efi/boot/bootx64.efi (or whatever it's called on 32-bit
platforms) available on most of the installation media? I've seen UEFI
implementations that don't rely on El-Torito and can just browse a CD
for EFI executables. And then why are BOOTX64.conf and splash.xpm.gz
there if bootx64.efi isn't?

You can probably make an xorg.conf file to get around this. I have had
to do this for a few machines with old monitors that don't provide information
as expected through EDID.

For F12 you'll probably add a mode line. In earlier versions of Fedora I
used to get mode lines for standard sizes (at 60Hz I think), but with F12
that isn't the case.

Making modelines is a bit risky as you can drive your monitor or video card
out of spec which might damage it. If you know it worked at 1024x768 60Hz
then you should be able to use that when making a new mode line definition.

Fedora 12 ath5k unable accessing to router

[Philipp Böhm]

Hello,
after I installed Fedora 12 yesterday I'm not able to connect to my 
NETGEAR-Router with my internal Atheros AR242x wlan-chip. If i use a 
different wlan-stick with another chip it works very well. In Fedora 11 
it works also very well. In Fedora 12 NetworkManager does not show these 
ssid but periodly it shows other networks of my neighbour.


Has anybody the same problem or a fix

low res after F12 upgrade

[Greg Woods]

I just upgraded my laptop from Fedora 11 to Fedora 12, using the DVD.
Unfortunately I cannot get it to do any better than 800x600 resolution
which really sucks. The laptop has a 1024x768 LCD display, but even
using system-config-display to set this doesn't help, even after
rebooting I still can't do better than 800x600. The machine has an Intel
graphics chip. Is there anything I can do to get back to 1024x768 which
I know the hardware is capable of?

Would I have better luck if I just install fresh over the top instead of
upgrading? I'll do that if I have to rather than be stuck with 800x600,
but it will be a lot of work to reconfigure everything. My home
directory is on another partition so I am safe there, but any
system-wide settings will have to be redone manually.

The only other option is to restore my F11 system from backup and
obviously I do not want to do that, I would rather move forward than
backward.

F12 failed to update F10

[Aaron Gray]

FYI

I had to reinstall F12 from scratch after it failing to boot on an F10 update.

Hi All,

After restoring data from a backup image set for a 500GB harddisk to a
1000 GB harddisk, I am unable to boot up my F11 OS. I have already
restored *both* the MBR backup and the dump output from sfdisk.

What else is missing? I am stuck at a blinking cursor at the top left
corner of the screen. GRUB is not loading and I am unable to select
any kernel to boot.

Using System Rescue CD, I am able to activate all the logical volumes
and all the volume groups that were restored. I am also able to mount
all the logical volumes and access the restored filesystems.

So I think the filesystems are restored properly. So I think it is the
problem with MBR, sfdisk dump output restoration, or GRUB. Is there a
problem with restoring data of a 500 GB harddisk to a 1 TB harddisk?


Well, let's see...the geometry between the two disks are going to be
different so the partition table's going to be screwed up.  That may
cause an issue with grub.  It's always dangerous to use block-level
backups and restores when the drives are of different sizes or geometries.

I'd recommend you boot off the DVD in rescue mode, then use fdisk and
the other tools to verify that the partition tables are in good shape.
You should also probably fsck each filesystem just to make sure.  Once
all that's done, you may have to rebuild the grub environment:

chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda   (or whichever disk it is)
exit   (gets out of the chroot)
exit   (gets out of the rescue boot)

Pop the DVD out and try to boot again.  That may fix it.


Hi,

If I want to use grub-install, I have to mount the partitions on the
restore harddisk and then chroot into the mount?


Yes, that's correct.  When the rescue boot comes up and asks if you
want the filesystems mounted, answer "yes".


Because earlier I have used the interactive grub prompt method without
mounting filesystems on the restore harddisk and chrooting.


That works too.  Some people get freaked out by the terminology used
by grub in interactive mode, so I tell them to use the method I
mentioned.  It's a bit less intimidating to the newbie.

You aren't one of those people and you seem to have solved it, so
congratulations!  Well done!

I think I used cvt to make that one. I also checked what the limits of
the monitor were to find that 75Hz wasn't going to result in an in spec

How can I automate grub re-install in a data restore script? This is not
possible with an interactive grub prompt/session.

# Q: Why do I want to write this cloning script when there are many open

# A: I am previously using Clonezilla. It is a very good cloning software.
However, it could not detect all the

using dd to image all my domUs,
#which resulted in an enormous 300 GB (!) backup image set and an
extremely lengthy cloning process of
#7 hours. Clonezilla is very good for LVs which only contain
filesystems, but not for LVs which contain
#virtual machines with MBR, partition geometries and full fledged
operating systems. It is very diffcult
#to image nested logical volumes, i.e. logical volumes within logical
volumes. And the PV within a LV is
#the barrier. So it is not Clonezilla's fault. Anybody who knows how to

Hi,

If I want to use grub-install, I have to mount the partitions on the
restore harddisk and then chroot into the mount?

Because earlier I have used the interactive grub prompt method without
mounting filesystems on the restore harddisk and chrooting.

Thank you very much! I have solved the problem. Reinstalling GRUB works.

I ran the following commands on my restore harddisk using System Rescue Live CD:

# grub

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit

Anyway, tune2fs -r 0 /dev/sda1, in my case was enough
to get sysrem preupgraded. Went smoothly throug, except kernel
panic at start. fortunately I had compiled vanilla-kernel, what with 
got system running. Ques have to run grub-install to get fc12 kernel
running.

Nothing works from this address for me either. You've got to go to the

When you call to complain, they suggest that you "clean your cache".
Whereas the BBC's technicians developed Dirac, the CBC drones buy

The fact that LVM isn't supported in a certain environment using
gparted is probably not a good argument against using it globally.
LVM solves a lot more problems than it causes, take it from someone
who held out for a long while himself. :-)

There are ways to move LVM partitions around to make more space for,
and then resize, an existing physical /boot partition... but none of
them are pretty.  (Resizing other partitions dynamically?  Now *that*
is easy with LVM, something you can't say otherwise.)

You need to boot off the rescue disk and reactivate grub from there - 
something like chroot into the disk image and then run grub-install, 
though I forget the exat details.

How to prevent from this ? Is this a configurable parameter in /etc/sudoers?

Well, let's see...the geometry between the two disks are going to be
different so the partition table's going to be screwed up.  That may
cause an issue with grub.  It's always dangerous to use block-level
backups and restores when the drives are of different sizes or geometries.

I'd recommend you boot off the DVD in rescue mode, then use fdisk and
the other tools to verify that the partition tables are in good shape.
You should also probably fsck each filesystem just to make sure.  Once
all that's done, you may have to rebuild the grub environment:

chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda   (or whichever disk it is)
exit   (gets out of the chroot)
exit   (gets out of the rescue boot)

Pop the DVD out and try to boot again.  That may fix it.

You will need to re-install Grub. Because Grub uses the BIOS to
access the drive, and because the first stage loader is rather dumb,
(Not enough space for a smart loader) it needs to know the physical
location of stage 1.5. The procedure for re-installing Grub is well
covered, so I will not post it again.

Not if he uses LVM, unless there have been big changes in the last day 
or two, in a program where the feature has been discussed and promised 
for many years.  If gparted had the fairly trivial ability to move and 
resize a partition it doesn't understand it would be useful.

I use a ping / pong disk setup, so I'll just nuke the LVM partition, 
resize /boot, make a new LVM, and copy my data over and make a dump as 
usual.

If the problem is sorting out which traffic went through the pay

Urgent Help Needed for Boot Problems After Data Restoration

[Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)]

Hi All,

After restoring data from a backup image set for a 500GB harddisk to a
1000 GB harddisk, I am unable to boot up my F11 OS. I have already
restored *both* the MBR backup and the dump output from sfdisk.

What else is missing? I am stuck at a blinking cursor at the top left
corner of the screen. GRUB is not loading and I am unable to select
any kernel to boot.

Using System Rescue CD, I am able to activate all the logical volumes
and all the volume groups that were restored. I am also able to mount
all the logical volumes and access the restored filesystems.

So I think the filesystems are restored properly. So I think it is the
problem with MBR, sfdisk dump output restoration, or GRUB. Is there a
problem with restoring data of a 500 GB harddisk to a 1 TB harddisk?

Thank you.

This may not be true for F10, but on F11 it would be worth checking 
Authorizations, on F11 its System->Preferences->Authorizations.

Look for disks -> Mount a system-internal device

If its enabled for your account, or Active console, then they get 
automatically mounted.

One workaround I found is to explicitly include the filesystem in /etc/
fstab.  But add the option noauto this stops it getting mount e.g.

  ... ext3noauto,defaults 0 0 ...

You can move some of the files in that directory, most notably the 
install.img file, but it has to be onto a non-LVM filesystem (LVM seems 
only to be started up after this file is loaded) and you have to edit 
/boot/grub/grub.conf to tell the system where to find it or tell it during 
the boot (it will ask you for the partition and path to the file within 
the partition if it doesn't find it).

SDL is pretty easy stuff, really. Someone with relatively little
programming experience can get basic blitting and sound to work with
just a few lines of code, mostly copy/pasted from examples.

I got started years ago with the book Programming Linux Games by John
R. Hall. This book was easy to follow with clear, incremental
examples. Later I picked up Focus On SDL by Earnest Pazera at the fire
sale when CompUSA closed shop. I'm not sure that I ever got around to
reading it.

But I don't even think you need to buy a book. Online tutorials and
code examples abound. Just google "sdl programming tutorial" and dive
in.

If what you mean by "loading frambuffer support" is actually using
hardware acceleration then that's a bit more complicated. I
half-heartedly attempted to use hardware a few years ago with no
success on my machine. But I've written several windowed and
full-screen programs that didn't suffer noticeably from the lack of
hardware acceleration.
