FC9 : Pb with sata_via adaptor and sata disk
Hello On my linux box, I use a pci adaptor to provide sata port because my motherboard doesn't have serial ata port. My sata adaptor is a : # lspci ... 02:0b.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller (rev 50) ... # When the system boots, the sata disk is well recognized. I can use fdisk and mkfs to build a filesystem without any problems But, when I try to mount this filesystems, I can see these errors in the /var/log/messages kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sdc2): ext3_check_descriptors: Inode table for group 4 not in group (block 99331)! kernel: EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted! If I use mkfs.ext3 command instead mkfs, I can't see this message but only : kernel: VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdc1 fdisk -l /dev/sdc gives me: Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x198a1989 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 60789 488287611 83 Linux /dev/sdc2 60790 121601 488472390 83 Linux this disk has been worked well on another machine.

I have the exact same printer connected via usb as well, but to my main machine, not a kvm switch. I think switching the switch from one machien to another is causing the messages. I have a suggestionAttach the printer to just one machine, and then set it up to share and then connect each machine to it via the network. That might help a whole lot and cut down on the messages.

That's why Fedora does not install 32-bit multilibs by default now, so you can install only those you actually need (e.g. yum install nspluginwrapper.i386 if you want to use 32-bit browser plugins). > Also since this is a laptop it is possible that the low power cpu, small > processor cache, memory and disk subsystems would limit any performance > improvement that 64bit objects might gain. F9 x86_64 works just fine on my laptop. Laptops these days have just as much RAM as desktops (usually between 1 and 4 GB). Also because Vi$ta is really memory-hungry and modern laptops are designed to run it.

There is no hassle. Everything just works. For "incompatible proprietary code", there are 32-bit multilibs. (Not that you should use proprietary crap in the first place, but it _does_ work on 64-bit just as well as on 32-bit. If it is not compatible with the current Fedora, it won't run on the 32-bit edition either.)

What is filesystem panic?
I guess I should rephrase my question about my 4GB memory stick/pen, where the filesystem now is set to readonly when I enter it into one of the slots. Could anyone tell me what might have happened by taking a look at the snip of the logfile? I am not allowed to do anyting but reading files. I am not allowed to delete files ,remove directires or write to files, even if I change to root privileges. I cannot say when this started - it just happened one time when I tried to backup some files to the Jet Flash. Then I got the message (one example): cp: cannot create regular file `/media/disk/trade/statQ': Read-only file system Does anyone have a clue? I'd be grateful for pointers in the right direction. *** snip *** Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: Product: Mass Storage Device Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: Manufacturer: JetFlash Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: SerialNumber: TCC95547 Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access JetFlash TS4GJF1858.07 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 : : Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sdb: sdb1 Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Oct 27 11:36:19 localhost hald: mounted /dev/sdb1 on behalf of uid 500 Oct 27 11:36:19 localhost gnome-keyring-daemon[2713]: adding removable location: volume_uuid_7A22_FF86 at /media/disk Oct 27 11:36:30 localhost kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sdb1) [ - my remark] Oct 27 11:36:30 localhost kernel:fat_free_clusters: deleting FAT entry beyond EOF [My remark: What does this mean?

(I guess this is more an observation than a bug, so if I'm wrong I
apologize in advance for posting it here.)
I installed RPM Fusion this morning by following the instructions above.
No problems, but when I ran "yum update" I noticed that the new repo
packages are not labelled any differently from the standard Fedora ones.
What I mean is that the old Livna RPMs would have ...lvn... in their
names, but the new ones have nothing analogous.
In the past I've found it useful to be able to quickly list all my
installed Livna packages ("rpm -qa \*lvn\*"). Looks like that's going to
be harder now.

This message has both my text signature at the bottom and a PGP signature. Signing all messages has value. It establishes a "preponderance of evidence" for the use of certain keys and signatures and establishes good practices. As a secondary issue, if we only signed / encrypted important messages, that's a red letter warning to those doing "traffic analysis" that this was as message to be given "special attention and processing". Signing everything removes that significance for signed messages. It would be even better if we could encrypt everything as well, making even encrypted messages nothing out of the ordinary and increase the amount of effort required to filter significant messages out from insignificant messages. > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@redhat.com > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines Mike -- Michael H.

You connect the printer and configure it to print locally. Then you check the box that tells it to share it with your network. Then any other linux system on your subnet will automatically recognize and can print to the printer without any configuration at all.

With a Linux machine host, you just set it up in CUPS. On the rest of the Linux machines, you can have CUPS search the network and it will find the printer. For XP, you will want to install an IPP interface printer. If you really want to, and you have Samba running on the host machine, you can share that way too, but it is more work.

Slow Second Access to Internet
In my FC7, using Firefox, if for example, I access www.google.com, I get an essentially instantaneous response. If I then close the browser, reopen it, and again try to access google, there is a long delay, perhaps a minute before I get the response. (I note that my browser is set to delete all private on closing.) During this delay, the browser reports that it is looking up the URL. If I then wait a few minutes I can repeat the whole scenario.

I'd log into the router/web gateway (192.168.1.1 in your browser or so) and run the DNS lookup diagnostic test - if it is shows similar behaviour, you will know it's a problem with your internet provider.

Considering that with the headers included, a PGP signature adds about 10 lines of text. (Most of it headers.) This is a small amount of space, considering the problems a couple of faked e-mail can cause. I only want to be blamed for a flame war if I really started it! If you are really concerned about the size of e-mails, a better place to start is with quoting. I see far too many e-mails where the entire thread is quoted, including the list signatures, just to add a "me too" or "+1" to the last comment in the thread. Or the entire log or config file listing is included in every reply to the original message. Trim it down to just the pertinent parts when replying - it not only cuts down on waisted bandwidth, but it makes it easier to see what you are talking about in the reply.

Re: Fedora 9 32 or 64 Bit - Which One?
Kevin Kofler wrote: Kevin J. Cummings kjchome.homeip.net> writes: If you are willing to deal with the issues, then x86_64 is for you. If not, then stick with the i386 stuff. What issues? Issues, hassles, basically the same. The things that have to be worked around. 1) My lappie has an ATI Mobile Radeon X1600 video system. It worked on FC6 using the fglrx driver from livna. F9 upgraded Xorg to a version that fglrx does not yet support. This has nothing whatsoever to do with x86_64, it's exactly the same on F9 i386. It wasn't when I first upgraded. The first problem was that the API changed and i386 worked and x86_64 didn't. Over time, ATI fixed that problem (took a couple of months), but not the Xorg version problem. 2) Many firefox plugins require nspluginwrapper because there are no x86_64 versions for them (Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader). Getting it to work correctly is straightforward and the Fedora Project Documentation is correct if you follow it. So what's the problem there? Maybe not a problem, but a big hassle. And, it didn't use to be that way on i386. Sometimes Flash just doesn't work until I restart firefox. And the Acrobat embedded reader can bring the laptop to its knees with some sort of memory leak. Its also not as fast going through the nspluginwrapper. But nspluginwrapper is used by default even on 32-bit installations for security reasons (because running the plugin in a separate process allows confining it with SELinux). Again, it didn't use to be that way. Its a hassle. Some people have configured their browsers to run acroread as an external application directly (instead of the embedded reader) to get around this. Or just don't use acroread at all, that's what Okular and Evince are for. When you say "don't use X" and "X" is written by the people who defined it, you are basically saying that the standard definers don't know what they are doing Seems very strange. None of the replacements ever work as well as the original. At least for me. Its a hassle. Konqueror can even embed Okular as a KPart if that's important to you. I don't use Konqueror. 3) Sometimes sound gets screwed up in the browser (firefox). Even when using gecko-mediaplayer. Restarting the browser, or sometimes restarting the X session is necessary. I don't think this is related to 64-bit either. Maybe not, but I never noticed it until I upgraded to x86_64. 4) If you want to run vmware-server you might want to upgrade to the version 2.0 BETA which has an X86_64 RPM. (the version 1 version is i386 only). I had no trouble running the .i386 version of vmware-server with the appropriate compatibility libraries. Now I'm running the x86_64 BETA and it runs my 32-bit virtual machine just fine. You *MAY* need to find the latest version of vmware-anyanyupdate (or you may not) for vmware-server version 1. So where's the problem? Hassle! Please stop changing the intent of my words! 5) Finding x86_64 versions of Firefox and Thunderbird ADDONs can be an adventure. OK, this is one valid argument. But the addons most people actually use should be available for x86_64. OK, so you're telling me I'm using the wrong addons? B^) So can finding addons that support firefox 3.0 in some cases. This has nothing whatsoever to do with x86_64, it's exactly the same on F9 i386. Maybe so, but its a hassle. 6) WINE is i386 only. I tried to get sound working in WINE and discovered that it wanted to drag in lots of i386 libraries, not all of which were compatible with all of the x86_64 versions I have installed (some from livna, some from atrpms, some from fedora). I gave up on the conflicts and continue to run wine without support for sound. I don't know how you ended up with all those conflicts. You should not need anything not in Fedora to get sound in WINE working. "yum install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i386" should be enough, and that drags in only stuff from Fedora. The problem is not with alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, its with jack-audio-connection-kit, needed by wine-jack. 7) FC6 used cubbi-suspend2 kernels in order to suspend and hiberate correctly. I was unable to make the tuxonice kernels work for me on F9, but the stock kernel support works fine with F9. (It may not be as fast as tuxonice, but it does suspend/hibernate and restore without any major problems.) This has nothing whatsoever to do with x86_64, it's exactly the same on F9 i386. Maybe so, bu I ran into it after I upgraded to x86_64. 8) My wireless is now much more reliable with F9, but that could be the new iwl3945 driver and not the old ipw3945 driver. This is actually a good thing, not a problem. :-) In any case, it's not x86_64-specific either. Kevin Kofler -- Kevin J.

Re: madwifi, F9, atheros 5413 cards
Thanks Martin for your reply. I tried the recent madwifi-hal but still the same problem. I think the problem is somewhere else because in dmesg it can be seen that ath_pci finds correct chipset and loads properly. There are no error there. I added a vista laptop (intel wireless card) to the adhoc network and ran wireshark on it. When I ping the laptop from F9 machine, I can see that ARP arrives at laptop and laptop replies it with its MAC. But then that reply is never accepted by F9 machines. Its like, it drops those packets somehow and Rx packets in ifconfig ath0 remains 0 (there are many Tx packets though). Is there some preset security in F9 blocking this? It says an unsecured network in Vista laptop. What else it can be because same think on Ubuntu runs just fine.. Any pointers??

Has that gotten any easier in recent years -- since the last time I gave up trying?? Yes, it has. With a Linux machine host, you just set it up in CUPS. On the rest of the Linux machines, you can have CUPS search the network and it will find the printer. For XP, you will want to install an IPP interface printer. If you really want to, and you have Samba running on the host machine, you can share that way too, but it is more work. Man, it must have! The last time (about FC3 iirc), a friendly soul spent days trying to walk me through it, and finally had to quit before we ever got it to work. After that, I also tried buying a hardware printserver -- and never managed to get that to work, either... Poking around, I can't tell# CUPS whether what I got into was CUPS or not. $ cups, $ CUPS, # cups, and # CUPS all get "command not found."

You can still do that by pointing a browser at http://localhost:631.

Do you have a favorite tutorial on the web somewhere? I know there are some -- which looked a bit daunting last time I saw them... To set up a local printer, click on the "Add Printer" button and enter the data that's asked for. Once it's added, select it in the left pane and on the "Settings" tab, click the "Make Default Printer" button and this new printer becomes the default. To share local printers, select "Server Settings" in the left pane and check the "Share published printers connected to this system" box. If you want, you can also check "Allow printing from the Internet" box, too. On the client machines, select "Server Settings" and check the "Show printers shared by other systems" box. After a few minutes, you should see the printers offered by the other machines show up under "Remote Printers" in the left pane. When you ask some application to print, you should be able to choose one of the printers that appear in that left pane.

Re: FONTS
Check the manual for your monitor to find the correct dpi of your monitor. There might be a formula to calculate it. You might need the dot pitch of the monitor (google for it, if you need it), or the optimal resolution (number of pixels across x number of pixels down). Mine is 96, as stated in the manual, so I simply choose 96 for my fonts, too. KDE also allows 120 for fonts, but I have not tried it, as it exceeds my monitor's capabilities. It is my impression that most TTF fonts are created for 96 dpi, but I might be mistaken. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

If I then close the browser, reopen it, and again try to access google, there is a long delay, perhaps a minute before I get the response.

I suspect that something similar may be happening with my Pan news reader. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike. Does this happen with any other browsers? I know Pan can be really sluggish at times, so I tend to discount that app as far as network reaction times go. Does opera or Konqueror do that?

I'm not sure - IIRC Windows uses a local DNS cache so it doesn't go through a DNS server every time. You can clear the DNS cache and try it again on Windows to make sure. On my router (Westell something) the DNS test is under the Advanced->Diagnostics tab.

(Geek > factor not included) Real simple. Always sign messages when ever and where ever possible. The exception should only be those cases where it is precluded for some reason. As I stated in an earlier message, this has to do with traffic analysis as well as "preponderance of evidence" issues. That's two good reasons which have been well discussed in various cryptography forums and amongst security professionals for years. I remember having this debate in the PGP forums on USENET some 15 years ago. If you don't agree with it (and many still don't) that fine. I'm still signing and if someone can't handle that, it's their problem. I would also point out one other important reason. Regressions. I've personally helped trouble shoot several significant problems in MTA's and filtering systems (MailScanner) when problems have cropped up where my signature didn't verify. Problems resolved down into corruptions in transports which then had to then be fixed. > - Gilboa Mike -- Michael H.

A. You can always decide to whether to sign a message or not - on a per-message basis. B. With so many free email services, noting forces you to use your primary email account to post ML messages. E.g. My company has an annoying policy the requires all employees to use a huge HTML signature on all outgoing emails - hence, I always use my gmail account to post non-work-related-message. - Gilboa -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I would have thought the contents of the message would have been enough to let people know it was not from me, but I was wrong. So I sign all my messages now. I can not "prove" that an unsigned message did not come from me, but I would hope an unsigned message posted to the list would cause people to take a closer look at it. While it is not as necessary for me to keep up a positive reputation on the Internet as it used to be, I still do not want other people saying things in my name.
