Installation seems to work now, but the installation of

  texlive-kpathsea-2009-3.16044.fc12.noarch

(and possibly much more packages) hangs because kpsewhich hangs forever
(using 100% cpu).

Do you have any clue whats going on? Any chance to get this fixed before
christmas?

Ok, basically it looks like _everything_ is broken currently.

Texlive schemes?

2009-12-22 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi all,

after texlive 2009 crashed my latex compiling process one day before I
wanted to print my dipl-thesis (kpsewhich hanging indefinitely), I
erased all texlive* files.

From my last installation experience I learned that installing only
texlive leaves you with a non-working system (for my needs), so I wanted
to simplify things by installing the full or medium scheme.

[choe...@choeger5 ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo yum install texlive-scheme-full
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package texlive-scheme-full available.
Nothing to do

Shouldn't that work?

Looks to me like calling _DummyThread() every time and then printing a

audio group after upgrade

2009-11-19 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

after my upgrade to f12 I could play any sound files. This was a odd
problem: Not just my speakers stay silent, but the player won't even
start.

xmms complained:

** WARNING **: alsa_get_mixer(): Attaching to mixer hw:0 failed:
Permission denied

And, indeed, I was not in the audio group. 
(simple fix - so no problem for me)

I assume that every user is in this group by default upon installation,
so why does anaconda not handle this?
(If no one noticed this yet, just think of this mail as a feature
request)

regards 

Christoph

abrt bugzilla reporting - does it work?

2009-11-17 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

I just wanted to report an evolution crash report with abrt. All I get
(besides a stacktrace) is "libcurl failed HTTP Post".
Since I suspect that libcurl generally can handle HTTP posts, I wonder
if this is some general bug in abrt?

Did anybody submit bugs successfully using this tool?

Does that mean, preupgrade to rawhide will bring in the f12 packages? If
so, there is a major issue with anaconda that crashes upon detecting the
harddrives. This is a little bit troubling since I have nothing exotic
here, just two sata hds.

I saved the debug report, but without storage I probably saved it to a
ram disk. 
If anyone can help me figuring out how to get a stacktrace to a running
machine (except for pen&paper), I would be able to bring  up some
valuable information about that crash.

Just one question: How are the lm_sensors names (10h, 11h) related to
current processors? 11h seems to be WIP.

Feature request: AMD K10 thermal sensors

2009-10-29 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

since a year or so the AMD K10 thermal sensors module (k10temp) seems to
be floating around  the web. I would appreciate some kernel packager
integrating it into the fedora 11 stock kernel - since without it I can
not build (and trust!) a silent cooling system.

Any plans on this issue?

ld ignoring parts of LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

2009-10-27 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

this is slightly off topic, but may be relevant for fedora developing,
too:

I have set up a small test bed for an application I am converting to a
autotools build system. In this testbed I have:

./lib/libfoo.so
./lib/bar/libbar.so

When I add the lib/ entry to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it is recognized and
scanned for libraries. The same for the lib/bar entry. But when I add
both, the lib/ entry is ignored completely. Is this normal?

I've just commented on that package, but you're not yet maintaining it,
so I'll repeat what I've discussed with Matěj already:

1. There is some bug with the libraries lying in /usr/lib/syncevolution
without patching no binary works out of the box

2. The sync-ui binary (which I wanted to test the most ;)) is missing.

mutt broken?

Hi,

I am not sure if this is a bug or my misusage of something, but when I try to 
access my Maildir with mutt the deletion flags are correctly set on the first 
run but disappear when I close mutt. This means that all those mails that ended 
up in my Trash folder (e.g. in evolution) are now in my INBOX again. Has 
anybody seen this before? Shall I file a bug?

Does dma have a local queue? Can I sendmail emails when I am offline?

Hi,

is dma packaged by someone? That would be the first step and I would
happily test that thing (having postfix installed after Paul Frields
advice which works well).

network issues with kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586

2009-08-24 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi all,

I hope somebody can confirm this:

The last days I had some trouble with my networking (both wireless and
ethernet) in forms of high latency, strange arp behaviour etc. 

Today I could not even ping anything outside. The problem seemed to be
that:

1. arp replys were ignored

2. if arp -s was used, anything else was ignored for the userspace

That means: I pinged my nameserver, and tcpdump showed request and
replys happily flowing around. 
But: ping did not get any packet. It reported 100% packet loss.

That applies to any other userspace prog that uses a socket.

I also had some wireless errors (iwlagn: microcode error) in my dmesg
the days before.

Currently I am using kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586 and the problem
arised after some minutes again. Looks like a buffer run full or
somethign...

Is there a workaround?

Well on fedora 10 it cannot connect to irc. Which makes it pretty

We were talking about anaconda. And I still don't know a sane (aka "no

You surely agree that users that know about chroot are probably not the

Re: Feature proposal: Rebootless Installer

2009-07-14 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

although (as others pointed out) a reboot may be necessary one way or
the other, my opinion would be: Why not?

Currently you are *forced* to reboot which now seems not to be a must
have. 

So why not remove that force and allow the user to decide when to
reboot? (Maybe one would like to install all available updates before he
has to reboot *again* because kernel updates or stuff).

So before any flaming starts: Please keep in mind that no one wants to
*remove* reboot. ;)

Hi,

my latest update to offlineimap 

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/offlineimap-6.1.0-2.fc11

has revealed a bug somewhere between offlineimap imaplib2 and kerberos.
Since I do not know how to fix that, I would like to:

a) delay that update from being pushed to stable as long as the
situation is unclear

b) cancel it if there is no upstream response in a week or so

how do I do that?

RFC: cronKit

2009-07-06 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

since I sync my mail with the experimental gnome ui of offlineimap, I
encounter a small problem: 
How do I tell cron to only invoke the job when I am logged in under
gnome only? Since consolekit (correct me if I am wrong on that) does not
provide a way to get that information (it is even unclear if dbus is
running at all), I was thinking of the following solution:

Since I want the job only to be run if I am logged in under gnome the
main idea is to have a process added to the session that can handle
crontab like jobs (aka cronKit)

Do you have any advice on that? Does such a software already exist?

regards

Christoph

Wow. Cool statement. Next time I wonder if my algorithm actually does

You should know that a _normal_ person cannot simply ask thousands of

media. They simplify things because readers ask for simplification. You

That was their conclusion, too: Anyone who wants fastest possible
encoding can use any filesystem.  But it has to be measured, as the
difference in ogg encoding shows. 
That's what makes up "Real World" tests IMO: To test even side effects
no one would ever really think of. As in "real world" you will probably
store your encoded files on your filesystem it is good to see that there
are no regressions.

Could you explain why mp3 (or ogg) encoding is not a "real world"
benchmark? I do this quite often. 

I also think that knowing regressions (like there sqlite benchmark had
shown for older kernels) is generally not that bad. Of course someone
still needs to do some work, but as numbers may be irrelevant a trend is
not.

Without knowing how exactly the benchmark works I would guess that most
of those apache requests are kernel calls so SELinux _might_ make a huge
difference here. Perhaps somebody from the SELinux team should tell
phoronix about it (and to _always_ test with SELinux disabled to measure
the price of security).

evolution header: Mime-version: 1.0

2009-06-03 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi folks,

I see a small problem with evolution when sending to mailinglists. 
Obviously evolution puts: Mime-version: 1.0 in the header, hypermail
searches for MIME-version: and cannot find that string. So it adds it.
In turn my mail provider bounces the return message that should be sent
to me complaining about duplicate header field.

So who is wrong here? Hypermail or evolution? Is non uppercase letter
Mime-version allowed? Anyone knowing the answer?

compat c++

2009-05-26 Thread Christoph Höger
Hi,

I was just wondering, if there is a compat c++ compiler package (or
mode) available in fedora. The issue I encountered was that I got a lot
of compiler errors because of strdup() malloc() etc. usages in c++ files
without proper #include  stuff. 
I am not a C++ expert, but I guess that there was a default behavior
change between g++ 3 and 4. 
What I did was patching that package to get those #includes but as it
contains a c++ code generator I also had to patch that. Although it
seems to compile now, I still get zillions of "DO NOT CAST char* TO
string YOU FOOL" warnings (wasn't there an option to get rid of them
too?). 
Any kind of compat mode would make things alot easier (besides bringing
the developers to write propert C++).

regards
