Re: How about releasing an update of xorg-x11-drv-intel for Fedora 11

James Antill wrote:
  Wow ... it's almost as if we need a place where developers could put
 _updates_ for a significant amount of time so that users could do some
 _testing_ on them, under each of their particular conditions. We could
 maybe use this instead of developers hitting the go button when they
 didn't get an avalanche of BZs immediately.

We use updates-testing very carefully in KDE SIG. But many users only start 
trying out updates when they go stable, no matter how long they've been in 
testing. :-( So some bugs will always slip through the cracks (and not just 
in KDE). Any testing repository will by definition only be used by testers, 
i.e. by a rather small subset of our userbase.

But I think that overall, our updates are a good thing. They aren't perfect, 
but no software is! And if you read the complaints about Vi$ta service packs 
rendering some systems unbootable, it's not like our competition is doing 
any better. AFAIK, we haven't had serious breakage like those KMail IMAP 
issues for a while now.

Please test that we really don't end up with standard paths like /usr/lib or 
/usr/lib64 in the rpath of installed executables when doing that! Last time 
we tried not using CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH, that's exactly what happened.

(Also note that %cmake_kde4 will probably always need the CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH 
unless we can get CMake to understand that %{_libdir}/kde4/devel contains 
only symlinks. But that's a separate issue from the above.)

 According to http://www.itk.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling this is now

We tried it in a 2.6.x, which is more recent than that, and it didn't work. 
(We ended up with things like /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 being set as an rpath, 
which is against Fedora guidelines.)

 The %_cmake_skip_rpath -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=ON is a change dating in
 last january. I cannot explain it as it was already cmake-2.6 as far as I
 can tell.

That's because we had the issue with 2.6.

 Actually, cmake re-links libraries without rpath at installation time
 (according to the previous page).

That information is outdated. 2.4 relinked the binaries, 2.6 uses some 
direct ELF editing hack to edit the rpath out instead (it's faster).

 The .shell wrappers are a KDE specificity. This is not standard cmake
 stuff.

That's interesting. I thought these come from CMake itself.

 Exactly which config interface are you referring to that enables this for

Well, KDM runs as root, so usually root's KDE settings are relevant, but 
stock KDE doesn't have touchpad settings. We have kcm_touchpad which is 
being packaged, but the way its settings are loaded at startup probably only 
works for real KDE sessions, not KDM's minimal environment. (GDM runs an 
almost complete GNOME these days, they even run a window manager inside GDM! 
KDM has a much less bloated design.)

Systemwide HAL FDI files will definitely work to set touchpad options for 
KDM.

Fwd: Request to update ATi OSS driver for Fedora 12

2009-10-21 Thread Liang Suilong
Today I upgrade my Fedora to Fedora 12 Beta, It looks very well. But I found
ATi display driver does not run well.
My display card is Sapphire HD3650 with 256MB GDDR3 VRAM (RV635). I choose
OSS driver for my card. Glxgears runs so smoothly with xorg-x11-drv-ati
because of KMS by default, nevertheless, rolling up and down in the
gnome-terminal is quite slow. The performance of glxgears is about 210 frams
per second. In addition, Switching to another window in Fedora 12 Beta is
not as fast in Fedora 11. Later, I install xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd and set it
by default in the system-config-display. Then I restart the X. I can not log
into gnome. The screen turns white. I found xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd is too
old, The version is 1.2.5 in the rawhide and the latest version 1.3.0 has
been released for a long time. Now I turn back to xorg-x11-drv-ati. At last,
I do not know which packages causes the  problem, maybe xorg-x11-drv-ati,
maybe xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd, maybe Mesa. So I suggest that packager updates
some packge related to ATi R600/R700 display card.

My Fedora 12 box is Athlon X2 4200+ and 2GB RAM, a 250GB HDD only for
Fedora, a mainborad with MCP55SLI and a Sapphire HD3650.

Another question, Will Fedora 12 provide Opensource 3D acceleration driver
for R600/R700?

Unresponsive maintainer for system-config-cluster

2009-10-21 Thread Steven Whitehouse
Hi,

Jim Parsons left Red Hat a little while back and the only contact
details I have is his Red Hat email address, which is of course no
longer valid. I've opened a bugzilla #530027 as per the unresponsive
maintainer procedure, but I was hoping to be able to skip the section
regarding sending of messages since there seems little point sending to
an email address which I know (and which other Red Hat employees can
easily verify) will not be answered.

Instead I've emailed the one other person who had access to that package
and that has also gone unanswered (see the bugzilla).

There are a number of outstanding bugs filed against
system-config-cluster (including the fact that it seems that it has not
passed an initial review) which I've listed out in the bugzilla.

I would like to either fix (or preferably just remove) this package as
it creates configs for GFS2 which are incorrect and is thus causing
confusion to all who attempt to use it.

Therefore this is my formal request to become maintainer of this
package,

Steve.

Fedora 12 Beta

2009-10-21 Thread Michał Piotrowski
Hi,

I just installed F12 Beta. Here are some thoughts

1 - during the first boot smolt panicked - there was an error related
to time zones in python-sitepackages or something like that.
2 - I tried to reboot the system - ctrl + alt + del, but it stopped on
process termination
3 - after reboot system wanted my root password for partition check -
after I pressed each key, the system gave me a communicate about wrong
password
I guess this is a plymouth bug. I disabled it in grub conf and system
works correctly. Is there any chance to completely remove plymouth
from the system? (even from initrd)
4 - F12 boots really slow on my laptop
http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/tmp/bootchart.png something
wrong is happening while udev loading
5 - default gnome sound scheme is terrible

The first impression isn't good.

Michal

new tool: rpmguard - print important differences between RPMs

2009-10-21 Thread Kamil Paral
Hi,

I have created a simple tool called rpmguard for checking differences 
between RPM packages. It is very similar to rpmdiff, but it prints only
important changes, not all. Therefore it can be used every time a new 
package is built to easily see if something hasn’t went completely wrong.

One more important difference to check between packages is changes in

 As the Dell Latitude D630 is one of the more common devices that smolt
 reports being used by Fedora I thought I'd mention my upgrade
 experience and issues for F-12.

 Probably the two usual things that people query are grahics and wifi.
 The model I have has the Intel IWL-4965AGN device which as expected
 works fine.

 I'm having a few issues with the nouveau driver with plymouth in that
 it doesn't work at all but if I remove all the options from the kernel
 boot line it gets to X and apart from some initial corruption as GDM
 comes up its OK from there. I have no idea how to debug this.

 Try adding the parameter 'nomodeset' instead of removing any parameters.
 What happens then?

 It has certainly improved it. I wasn't in front of the machine as it
 booted this morning so I'll need to check out plymouth this evening
 but the responsiveness of the display is improved and I don't get
 duplicate mouse pointers now. The performance seems reduced compared
 to F-11 though :-(

 Probably the most annoying is the breakage of sound. This seems to
 have every other kernel/alsa/pulseaudio update and was an issue on and
 off right through F-11 as well so its not exactly surprising but also
 disappointing that one of the most common devices running Fedora has
 sound broken on a semi regular basis. Again some pointers in debugging
 this so it can be fixed by F-12 final would be great.

 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bug_info_kernel_sound

 The only other very minor issue I see is that the icon spacing on the
 gnome panels is massive!

 This is currently being 'enthusiastically' discussed on
 fedora-desktop-list. :)

 Thanks for the pointer. I noticed its also been tweaked in todays rawhide.

 I've also noticed of late that yum performance has gone through the floor too.

I never finished that. Its currently necking one core of a 2.5 ghz
penryn and using nearly a gig of RAM. It literally now takes hours to
update my Fit-PC (500mhz geode with 256Mb RAM).

Well if someone wants to maintain it, then I suppose there is no issue.
My understanding is that Conga is the preferred method for graphical
configuration of clusters. Personally I use vi for cluster
configuration :-)

My main concern is the number of people who have tried to use this and
landed up with incorrect/broken configurations or for whom the tool
simply doesn't work.

So once I've managed to get access to the package, if you or anybody
else is keen to take it on then I'm happy to grant all the required
privs or pass maintainership on to others as required,

Steve.

 I've actually found a few more since I wrote that list in the bz too.
 
  
   I would like to either fix (or preferably just remove) this package as
   it creates configs for GFS2 which are incorrect and is thus causing
   confusion to all who attempt to use it.
  
  Hm...I would appreciate keeping the package (...and could fix the very 
  trivial of the remaining bugreports), how complicated would it be to fix 
  the GFS2 configs? On the other hand, I've heard from somebody of the RH 
  cluster team that the package is deprecated at all, how's that?

 Well if someone wants to maintain it, then I suppose there is no issue.
 My understanding is that Conga is the preferred method for graphical
 configuration of clusters. Personally I use vi for cluster
 configuration :-)

I don't think its really viable to suggest that Conga is a replacement
for system-config-cluster. One is a simple desktop UI for editing
cluster config files. The other is a large web based management
infrastructure. Certainly alot of people may want to use Conga, but
I can well imagine people using s-c-c , wouldn't want to deploy a
webapp just to get a tool to edit cluster config files

Re: Fedora 12 Beta

2009-10-21 Thread Michal Schmidt

Dne 21.10.2009 12:31, Michał Piotrowski napsal:

I just installed F12 Beta. Here are some thoughts


Hello,
Thank you for testing the Beta.


1 - during the first boot smolt panicked - there was an error related
to time zones in python-sitepackages or something like that.
2 - I tried to reboot the system - ctrl + alt + del, but it stopped on
process termination
3 - after reboot system wanted my root password for partition check -
after I pressed each key, the system gave me a communicate about wrong
password
I guess this is a plymouth bug. I disabled it in grub conf and system
works correctly. Is there any chance to completely remove plymouth
from the system? (even from initrd)
4 - F12 boots really slow on my laptop
http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/tmp/bootchart.png something
wrong is happening while udev loading
5 - default gnome sound scheme is terrible


Have you file Bugzilla tickets for any of these issues? If not yet, 
please do so and provide more detailed information if possible.


Thanks,
Michal

Well if they say that, then s-c-c should be really removed. I'd agree to

Re: new tool: rpmguard - print important differences between RPMs

2009-10-21 Thread Mat Booth
2009/10/21 Kamil Paral kpa...@redhat.com:
 Hi,

 I have created a simple tool called rpmguard for checking differences
 between RPM packages. It is very similar to rpmdiff, but it prints only
 important changes, not all. Therefore it can be used every time a new
 package is built to easily see if something hasn’t went completely wrong.


Was it not easier to just add a less verbose mode to rpmdiff?

Group removals are dangerous.  Groups can share packages between them.
Perhaps somebody should submit a patch to yum that gives groupremove a
flag that says don't remove any package that is listed in any other

  Probably the two usual things that people query are grahics and wifi.
  The model I have has the Intel IWL-4965AGN device which as expected
  works fine.
 
  I'm having a few issues with the nouveau driver with plymouth in that
  it doesn't work at all but if I remove all the options from the kernel
  boot line it gets to X and apart from some initial corruption as GDM
  comes up its OK from there. I have no idea how to debug this.
 
  Try adding the parameter 'nomodeset' instead of removing any parameters.
  What happens then?
 
  It has certainly improved it. I wasn't in front of the machine as it
  booted this morning so I'll need to check out plymouth this evening
  but the responsiveness of the display is improved and I don't get
  duplicate mouse pointers now. The performance seems reduced compared
  to F-11 though :-(
 
  Probably the most annoying is the breakage of sound. This seems to
  have every other kernel/alsa/pulseaudio update and was an issue on and
  off right through F-11 as well so its not exactly surprising but also
  disappointing that one of the most common devices running Fedora has
  sound broken on a semi regular basis. Again some pointers in debugging
  this so it can be fixed by F-12 final would be great.
 
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bug_info_kernel_sound
 
  The only other very minor issue I see is that the icon spacing on the
  gnome panels is massive!
 
  This is currently being 'enthusiastically' discussed on
  fedora-desktop-list. :)
 
  Thanks for the pointer. I noticed its also been tweaked in todays rawhide.
 
  I've also noticed of late that yum performance has gone through the floor 
  too.
 
 I never finished that. Its currently necking one core of a 2.5 ghz
 penryn and using nearly a gig of RAM. It literally now takes hours to
 update my Fit-PC (500mhz geode with 256Mb RAM).

Geode GX2/500 has basically zero cache (either L1 or L2), and 256MB is
really the bare minimum for the install/upgrade process.  You'll be
swapping to disk a lot during the upgrade while the depsolving goes on,
and yeah, it'll take quite a while.

Simplify non-responsive maintainers policy Part 2

On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 10:11:37AM +0100, Steven Whitehouse wrote:
 Hi,
 
 Jim Parsons left Red Hat a little while back and the only contact
 details I have is his Red Hat email address, which is of course no
 longer valid. I've opened a bugzilla #530027 as per the unresponsive
 maintainer procedure, but I was hoping to be able to skip the section
 regarding sending of messages since there seems little point sending to
 an email address which I know (and which other Red Hat employees can
 easily verify) will not be answered.
 
 Instead I've emailed the one other person who had access to that package
 and that has also gone unanswered (see the bugzilla).
 
 There are a number of outstanding bugs filed against
 system-config-cluster (including the fact that it seems that it has not
 passed an initial review) which I've listed out in the bugzilla.
 
 I would like to either fix (or preferably just remove) this package as
 it creates configs for GFS2 which are incorrect and is thus causing
 confusion to all who attempt to use it.
 
 Therefore this is my formal request to become maintainer of this
 package,
 
I've talked to FESCo people on IRC and after some discussion I've gone ahead
and reassigned ownership.  Since people seem to like this, if you don't want
to maintain and fix this package, please go through the orphan process
rather than just retiring it.

I went ahead and made the change this time for two reasons:
1) The email address for the current maintainer is not valid.
2) We have in the past had an unwritten policy about reassigning packages
   between a former Red Hat maintainer and a new Red Hat maintainer when the
   maintainer leaves the company and is no longer interested in Fedora.

However, it was pointed out that this does tread in the area of the
fast-track for non-responsive maintainers decided on in this FESCo ticket:
  https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/251

(not yet written up in the wiki.  See
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/261 for getting policies written up
quicker)

So let's discuss --

* Should we expedite these requests in the future if the email address for
  the maintainer is no longer in existence?
* Should we formalize the unwritten policy for Red Hat maintainers who leave
  the company and don't want to maintain their packages anymore?
  * Do we need sanity checks to be sure maintainers who do want to keep
their packages do so?
  * Do we want something more generic that covers other compaines that pay

  It has certainly improved it. I wasn't in front of the machine as it
  booted this morning so I'll need to check out plymouth this evening
  but the responsiveness of the display is improved and I don't get
  duplicate mouse pointers now. The performance seems reduced compared
  to F-11 though :-(
 
  Probably the most annoying is the breakage of sound. This seems to
  have every other kernel/alsa/pulseaudio update and was an issue on and
  off right through F-11 as well so its not exactly surprising but also
  disappointing that one of the most common devices running Fedora has
  sound broken on a semi regular basis. Again some pointers in debugging
  this so it can be fixed by F-12 final would be great.

  The only other very minor issue I see is that the icon spacing on the
  gnome panels is massive!
 
  This is currently being 'enthusiastically' discussed on
  fedora-desktop-list. :)
 
  Thanks for the pointer. I noticed its also been tweaked in todays rawhide.
 
  I've also noticed of late that yum performance has gone through the floor 
  too.

 I never finished that. Its currently necking one core of a 2.5 ghz
 penryn and using nearly a gig of RAM. It literally now takes hours to
 update my Fit-PC (500mhz geode with 256Mb RAM).

 Geode GX2/500 has basically zero cache (either L1 or L2), and 256MB is
 really the bare minimum for the install/upgrade process.  You'll be
 swapping to disk a lot during the upgrade while the depsolving goes on,
 and yeah, it'll take quite a while.

Yea, but my Dell with a Centrino penryn processor with 6 meg of cache
and 4 gig of RAM was horrific and earlier in F-12 it wasn't that bad
even on the Geode. I couldn't use my Dell for over 20 mins while doing
a single days worth of the current rawhide pushes.

Notice: Fedora 12 Tagging Status Update

2009-10-21 Thread Warren Togami
Fedora Release Engineering decided to deal with the 250+ backlog of 
Bodhi update requests by tagging them all into f12-final.  Bodhi is now 
disabled for Fedora 12 updates.


Questions
=
1) Why tag all Update requests into f12-final?

At this point of the schedule we realized that there were updates 
sitting in the queue from since October.  They were sitting there.  Not 
getting pushed to any repository.  Rawhide gives these packages several 
more weeks of testing exposure.  This was decided to be better than a 
flood of day zero updates that are poorly tested.


2) When will we be able to submit Updates again?

Rel-eng will decide when to begin accepting Updates for Fedora 12 again 
during Monday's rel-eng meeting.  Meanwhile please use the rel-eng 
ticketing system to request tagging into f12-final.


3) How do I file a tag request to include my package into Fedora 12?

https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/
Please file tag request tickets here if you want your package build to 
be included in Fedora 12.  Please include details like:

* Full Name-Version-Release of your package(s)
* What changed?
* How risky is this change?
* How important is this change?
* How well tested is this package build?
* Is this package in the critical-path list?

4) Which packages are critical-path?

https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/autoqa-results/2009-October/001714.html
Unfortunately we do not yet have a permanent URL with the critical-path 
list.  This page contains an auto-generated list of critical-path 
packages as of today.


If your package is not critical-path and not a risk to others to update, 
then it is highly likely proper to tag at this point of the schedule.


5) How many untagged packages are there?

koji list-tagged --latest dist-f12-updates-candidate

This command lists all packages that are not tagged for f12-final.  In 
some cases these are false positives because a newer package is instead 
tagged into f12-final.  After you have tested your package and verified 
it doesn't make things worse, please file rel-eng tickets to have it 
included.


Please direct questions to fedora-devel-list.

On updates to stable releases

2009-10-21 Thread Adam Jackson
I don't really want to revive the thread about automake 1.11, but I do
want to point out that it did break actual buildability:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1761549name=build.log

Please, people.  Don't update things in stable releases just for fun.
Particularly if your package is part of the build environment for
something else.  I don't care if it bills itself as just a bugfix
release; that's how you know it's lying.

Something I've discovered in the not-so-distant past is that hyperbole is 
not always grokked by non-native speakers and tends to cause drama

Your main point, though - that people in the build  and critpath should be 
careful with upgrades is completely correct.

Re: Fwd: Request to update ATi OSS driver for Fedora 12

2009-10-21 Thread Adam Williamson
On Wed, 2009-10-21 at 15:16 +0800, Liang Suilong wrote:
 Today I upgrade my Fedora to Fedora 12 Beta, It looks very well. But I
 found ATi display driver does not run well. 
 
 
 My display card is Sapphire HD3650 with 256MB GDDR3 VRAM (RV635). I
 choose OSS driver for my card. Glxgears runs so smoothly with
 xorg-x11-drv-ati because of KMS by default, nevertheless, rolling up
 and down in the gnome-terminal is quite slow. The performance of
 glxgears is about 210 frams per second. In addition, Switching to
 another window in Fedora 12 Beta is not as fast in Fedora 11. Later, I
 install xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd and set it by default in the
 system-config-display. Then I restart the X. I can not log into gnome.
 The screen turns white. I found xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd is too old, The
 version is 1.2.5 in the rawhide and the latest version 1.3.0 has been
 released for a long time. Now I turn back to xorg-x11-drv-ati. At
 last, I do not know which packages causes the  problem, maybe
 xorg-x11-drv-ati, maybe xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd, maybe Mesa. So I
 suggest that packager updates some packge related to ATi R600/R700
 display card. 

Fedora doesn't really care about the radeonhd driver. We may well even
remove it at some point soon. The ati driver is the one you should use
on Fedora, that's why it's the default.

You do not get 3D acceleration out of the box on that card, r600 3D
acceleration is too early to be enabled by default. If you want to try
it out, install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package.

For the slow 2D performance - _how_ slow is it, really? gnome-terminal
has never been much of a speed demon. Does it get any faster if you boot
with 'nomodeset' as a kernel parameter?

 Hi,
 
 I just installed F12 Beta. Here are some thoughts
 
 1 - during the first boot smolt panicked - there was an error related
 to time zones in python-sitepackages or something like that.

Could you try to reproduce and provide more precise details on the
error? There's not a lot we can do with that level of detail.

 2 - I tried to reboot the system - ctrl + alt + del, but it stopped on
 process termination

It _may_ not actually have stopped, rebooting from firstboot can be
quite sluggish I've noticed, but goes through eventually.

 3 - after reboot system wanted my root password for partition check -
 after I pressed each key, the system gave me a communicate about wrong
 password

The fact that it wanted to do fsck at all may be
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522969 , which is fixed in
tomorrow's Rawhide.

 I guess this is a plymouth bug. I disabled it in grub conf and system
 works correctly. Is there any chance to completely remove plymouth
 from the system? (even from initrd)

From a quick look, we don't have a bug filed for the fact that entering
the root password at this point doesn't work with Plymouth. Could you
please file one with a full description, and mark it as blocking
F12Blocker? Thanks.

 4 - F12 boots really slow on my laptop
 http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/tmp/bootchart.png something
 wrong is happening while udev loading

Please file a bug for this, on 'udev' component for now, and CC Harald
Hoyer (hhoyer at redhat). Thanks!

 5 - default gnome sound scheme is terrible

This is a pretty subjective topic.

Re: new tool: rpmguard - print important differences between RPMs

  Hi,
 
  I have created a simple tool called rpmguard for checking differences

  important changes, not all. Therefore it can be used every time a new
  package is built to easily see if something hasn’t went completely wrong.

 Was it not easier to just add a less verbose mode to rpmdiff?

As we discussed in the QA meeting this week, that may well be ultimately
what this becomes, but for now it's a separate tool while Kamil works on
it. He may well end up submitting it as a patch for rpmdiff in the end.

F12 media-less installer totally broken

2009-10-21 Thread Ahmed Kamal
Hi folks,
I tried installing F12 fresh today without burning media. I had F11 on a
lvm, and was installing F12 on another. Here's what happened:
- Put the iso on a ntfs partition
- Put the vmlinuz+initrd.img in F11's grub .. and boot into the installer,
pointing it to install from HDD
- The installer cannot pickup the iso
- As an alternate I copied the iso to a server, and NFS shared its folder
- I reboot the installer, point it to nfs .. again it fails to start
anaconda
- Third trial .. on that server I loop mount the iso on /opt and NFS share
that
- Boot installer, it tried to mount server:/opt/images (which fails!) (only
/opt is shared)
- Fourth trial: I expand the iso image completely on disk into a new
directory, boot into the installer pointing it at that
- Installer finally picks up, anaconda starts .. I click next a few times,
partition and format my disk, then an error message mentions cannot load
image #1, please insert the CD and try again ... arrgh
- I give up, burn a DVD, and install from it just fine

Require a secondary email address?  Not everyone has one, or wants
to hand it over if they do.  That sounds more like a recipe for driving
maintainers away than making sure you can contact them.

   1 - during the first boot smolt panicked - there was an error related

  Could you try to reproduce and provide more precise details on the

 The smolt firstboot thing is already fixed, just didn't make it in time
 for the beta, my bad.

Is there a bug report I can reference so I can add this to the Common
Bugs page with a reasonable level of detail?

Re: problem with dns

2009-10-21 Thread Giovanni Tirloni
2009/10/21 Michał Piotrowski mkkp...@gmail.com:
 Hi,

 This is a problem that touches some of Fedora services.

 I've got a network

 192.168.101.0

 192.168.101.1 - this is my router
 192.168.101.200 - ozzy - my F11 server
 192.168.101.100 - dio - my Windows 6 workstation

 I use two DNS servers

 nameserver 192.168.1.1
 nameserver 194.204.159.1

 The problem shows up when my network 192.168.101.0 lose a connection
 with 192.168.1.0 and my primary DNS server is not available.

[...]

 Every time when I try to use samba I get no response from ozzy. Here
 is what is happening for mc

 I think that such behavior is clearly wrong. But it's a long term
 issue. So maybe I'm wrong and this is a correct behavior?

The daemons are doing reverse DNS lookups on the IP addresses and not
getting any answers.

You can either tweak that in the resolv.conf file so it doesn't take
so long to give up (see the man page for options) or configure your
services to ignore it.

For sshd you just need to uncomment the following line in sshd.conf:

#UseDns no

 But I don't see anything wrong with how things are happening in this situation.

Unable to download Fedora 12 beta using jigdo

2009-10-21 Thread Hedayat Vatankhah

Hi,
I'm trying to download F12 beta DVD x86_64 iso using jigdo (I've used 
jigdo to download previous versions too). It successfully downloaded all 
files, but it doesn't accept downloaded install.img file and tries to 
download it again and again. I've tried downloading install.img several 
times (also using stand alone download applications) but jigdo doesn't 
accept any of them. As a result, jigdo doesn't compose the final .iso 
image because of 1 missing file. Does anybody have any ideas about the 
reason of failure? Has anybody downloaded F12 beta x86_64 using jigdo 
successfully?


Thanks,
Hedayat

Re: Fwd: Request to update ATi OSS driver for Fedora 12

To Tomasz,
Thank you! I have enabled compiz with ati oss drivers.

To Adam Williamson

Oh..So I need to remove radeonhd driver in my box. RadeonHD seems to be one
part of xorg-x11-drv-ati. They provides the same things to ati users. But
radeonhd only stand for R500/R600 later.

the scroll bar still stay at there for about 0.5 seconds to 1 seconds. You
can feel delay obviously. But I do not try to disable KMS. Let me try it and

That list is out of date. I fixed clutter-gtkmm to build a while ago because 
it had broken dependencies, and the fixed build got tagged into dist-f12

radeonhd is not part of ati, they are effectively in competition.
They're two different drivers for the same hardware. ati is the one that
Fedora supports.

So xorg-x11-server needs a one-line patch to build again? I fail to see the

 Please, people.  Don't update things in stable releases just for fun.
 Particularly if your package is part of the build environment for
 something else.

That also means something else may need the updated package to even build at 
all, and in fact this is the reason the automake update was requested and 
pushed.

You missed the whole point of the previous discussion. It didn't go
unnoticed, did it?

I mean, a build failure is hard to miss. As soon as it fails to build
you know that it failed to build. You can't be happy as if your
package has been built successfully when it actually failed. If you
are happy that your package failed to build, then either there is a
problem with you or a problem with the rest of us. In either case the
outcome is the same: The package *failed* to build.

Please come up with an example where there are no warnings in the
build logs and the package builds and installs fine, but it is broken.

Note that according to its Makefile.PL, Module::Install requires Devel::PPPort
version 3.16.  But perl 5.10, currently the version in rawhide, only provides
3.13.  I don't know what you will decide to do about this.

Well all_blocked_bugs() returns bzs listed in Blocks field. This suggest
following:

Depends on *eq* blocks_bug()
Blocks *eq* all_blocked_bugs()

That doesn't sound good to me. Thoughts?

Ok, so no response from the author.  I'm going to deploy 3.33 into production
on a couple systems at work tomorrow and see what happens...  Assuming
everything goes OK (as I believe it will) I'll update our package here.

Yeah...  Not good :)

I've updated the blocks/depends atts and added tests to validate it.  I haven't
pushed it to the CPAN as 0.14 yet as I have some additional work to square away
with the alias bits, but it is out on github... As well as documentation to
write :)
