Problems with preupgrade install
I have just attempted to upgrade from F9 to F10 via preupgrade. Whilst it was downloading the packages, there was a message that there wasn't enough space in /boot to download the install image, and it would do it at boot time instead (I think that was what the message said). At boot time, sure enough, it asked me to choose an ethernet port, and it went ahead and downloaded the install image OK. So the netwrok connection was working fine. But then at the next stage, it complained that it couldn't find the repo (or something like that). I retried once, then abandoned the installation. So: a) Is there something I can do to fix this? b) if not, how do I clean up the preinstall (I guess there must be a LOT of disk space filled with RPMs)? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire -- 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

Fedora 10 install: Choosing additional repositories causes kernel panic
On two different systems, on an i686 laptop and in VirtualBox running on an AMD64 OpenSolaris system, I was able to perform installation successfully, only to be greeted with this message when I tried to boot my newly installed Fedora system: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) At first I thought that this was because I was using xfs for my root partition (actually logical volume), but the problem turned out to be caused by my choosing "Fedora" and "Fedora updates" as repositories in addition to the "installation repository".

F10: Lots of "issues"... Evolution, Synaptic (touch pad), Plasma (folder view)...
I installed F10 this afternoon as an upgrade from F8 using preupgrade. That process went well. I ran the F10 KDE Live all morning. I didn't encounter any problems with it, but I have lots of issues with F10 now that I have it installed. Here is a list of the problems I am having: 1) Evolution is asking for the passwords for all my mail accounts every time I start it. HUGE PAIN. BTW: Evolution uses a new db. It took longer to re index my emails than it did to install F10 ! 2) No spell checking in Evolution. Rather spell checking is marking every word as mis spelled. Every word I am typing in this post is underlined in red. 3) The synaptic touch pad configuration tool I had installed in F8 doesn't work in F10. I can't turn the touchpad off on my laptop and every time I brush my sleeve over it, the cursor moves when I don't want it to. 4) Folder view is crashing/freezing my computer and I am getting Plasma errors. Something is messed up. 5) Neither Konqueror nor Firefox nor Opera will view a youtube video due to complaints about needing to install the latest flash plugin. And I already have. Firefox works once in a while. 6) Ark won't extract a single file from an archive. All this and I've only been using F10 for a couple hours. -- 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

From what I understand the sch_generic.c error means that the networking driver has an issue with its hardware. I don't believe there is a way to misconfigure things and get this. On other network chipsets others have attempted to work around this sort of issue by changing how the network chipset works (turning on/off tcp offload, or other internal network chipset capabilities, and/or turning off pause-things can be adjusted with ethtool). If you get the correct feature turned off that is required to trigger the bug then it may work. Keep in mind though that typically when you have a 32bit/33Mhz network card it appears that the speed is limited to around 50MB/second each way, even though the PCI bandwidth should be high enough to do more.I don't know why this is, but I have seen it with several different ethernet chipsets (tg3/e1000). Hello Roger, I sent this issue to LKML too (by that time without feedback). About some tunning - we have only little time window every dat for it, it is really problem. For now we will try some other optical fiber card. And regarding to PCI card bandwidth - DGE-550SX is gigabit card, but we use it for our internet connections, which is limited to approx. 50 Mb/sec by ISP, then I think there should be no bottleneck in LAN card. Or some crappy machines within our LAN could be able overload it? But this same card in much slower Alphaserver work fine...

Currently, I don't think it's at all obvious. I just happened to know because I'd seen someone else mention the page and have since submitted patches to try and improve it. I thought that you'd follow the "Get Fedora" link on the left, and that it would have a link to the verify page, which would then link to the keys page. But it seems that the get fedora page was streamlined for the release. Now you'd have to follow the "Show me all download options in one page" to get to fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all, which has the link to the verify page and the fedora.gpg file, but still lacks the link to the keys page. Some of these are issues that I fixed by creating a patch and submitting a ticket to the fedora-web team. Some of those patches were not pushed into production yet because of the infrastructure freeze. Once the release is a few days old, that freeze should end and the changes will get pushed.

These days, there's less point in doing that, with always-on DSL and cable services, many of the IP addresses will always be in-use.

Following up on my own message, I did an strace on yum
and see the following:

read(29, "/dev/sda3 / ext3 rw 0 0\nproc /pr"..., 4096) = 379
stat64("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
stat64("/proc", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0

stat64("/mnt/temp", ^C
/mnt/temp was something I had NFS mounted earlier on today,
but I suspended my laptop and took it home, so the mountpoint
isn't valid right now.
So yum does a stat on all mountpoints, for some reason, and if they don't
exist, the OS hangs the process. Who knows, it may eventually time out,
but life is/was too short to wait for timeout.

An improvement could be to modify your package list text file to change the line feeds to blank spaces, then feed that to one yum command. A problem with that *may* be if the list was very long. Of course, if your next upgrade is an install, you could give that package list to anaconda, and let it handle it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Re: F10 nfs installs
I had exactly the same problem. The instructions for "NFS Installation and Setup" are apparently incomplete. If you look at the instructions for "Installation from a Hard Drive", however http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-installing-from-harddrive.html they say that "the install.img file from within the ISO files must be copied to a directory named 'images'" inside the directory with the ISO files. I tried that, and the installation proceeded. (And that's with an NFS server running OpenSolaris.) I'm using separate CD-ROM ISOs btw, not the DVD ISO. (Unfortunately, when I tried to boot the newly installed system, I got the following message: "Kernel panic - not syncing". I don't know what that's about.)

F10 and Grub boot problem
I upgraded to F10, which went smoothly except for the reboot. All I got was multiple GRUB's that kept filling up the screen but no boot. I then tried to do the upgrade again and thought I needed to upgrade GRUB (which I selected initially), but still the same result. So, I did an upgrade again, but this time I said I wanted to change my boot loader to GRUB again, and this resolved my problem.

This means the new Plymouth boot system may not support your card -- yet -- in all its graphical glory. You can try this, but keep in mind it is not guaranteed to work, and in fact may keep you from booting properly. Hold down the Ctrl key during booting to bring up the GRUB menu. Hit [e] to edit the GRUB configuration, arrow down to the "kernel" line, and hit [e] to edit that. Add the text " vga=0x317" to the end to force a framebuffer mode that may work (you might want to try 0x318 on some systems). Then hit [Enter] to accept the temporary change, and hit [b] to boot. If it works, edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file (as root) to add this change if you want to keep it. But be aware that for a few people it causes problems. However, I used it constantly on a laptop with Intel 945GM graphics card with no ill effects. -- Paul W.

It's not the content itself that's the problem. It's the viewer. In this case the release notes were in HTML, so it takes that extra library support to understand how to parse it and then display it in a way that makes sense (like making headers large, code snippets in fixed-width fonts, etc.). Of course, none of this changes the fact that no one used the button anyway. (You're obviously an exception, but I promise you, you're a rare case.) ;-) -- Paul W.

Time setting problem
I have installed the F10 KDE live cd on a USB stick using the livecd-iso-to disk utility. I also added an overlay for persistence. I have run in to a problem in setting the time. There are two scenarios but I am not sure whether they are related. 1. When using the Date/Time settings tool to change the time zone, the new time zoning setting does not immediately take effect even though the tool shows that it is contacting an NTP server. The time does not actually change until a few minutes later. 2. When I reboot the system, the initially displayed time is incorrect. After three or four minutes, the time resets to the correct value. I've looked in /var/log/messages and it looks like ntp comes up and tries to contact a time server before the network comes up. It then retries a few minutes later by which time the network is up and a time server is available. The second scenario looks like it might be related to the new faster booting in that things are done in the wrong order but what about the first? Is this just an issue related to the live CD? I am thinking about filing a bug but I would like some feedback from the list before I do so.

Cambridge was the internal proposed release name for Red Hat Linux 10,

Re: F10 nfs installs
Frank Cox wrote: Two related questions: I created a bootable CD from images/boot.iso on the F10 DVD iso. I put the iso file on my fileserver, then booted from the bootable CD that I just created and told the installer to do a NFS install and pointed it to the directory on my fileserver where the iso image was. It complained that it can't find the files and keeps adding "images/install.img" to the path that I entered. Therefore, I'm thinking that the nfs installer can no longer look inside of the iso image to find the files but I will now have to copy the files out onto a real directory on the fileserver so the installer can find them. The nfs installer used to be smart enough to just look inside of the iso, so has that capability gone away? Second, there used to be a file called images/diskboot.img that you could just copy to a usb flash drive using dd which you could then boot from to do a nfs install. That file seems to no longer be present. I would prefer not to have to install from a live image but rather to just do a "regular" nfs install from my fileserver, so how can I create a bootable usb flash drive to make that happen? Hi Frank, I cant remember the specific details myself but I believe the release notes mention some changes you need to make if you are doing NFS based installs so you may want to check there.

Yea, but there is clearly something strange going on because the latest bug I see is k3b ejecting the media then not being able to reload it, yet on the same system with the same kernel and same drive, the "eject -T" command is perfectly capable of ejecting and closing the tray. -- 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

F10 nfs installs
Two related questions: I created a bootable CD from images/boot.iso on the F10 DVD iso. I put the iso file on my fileserver, then booted from the bootable CD that I just created and told the installer to do a NFS install and pointed it to the directory on my fileserver where the iso image was. It complained that it can't find the files and keeps adding "images/install.img" to the path that I entered. Therefore, I'm thinking that the nfs installer can no longer look inside of the iso image to find the files but I will now have to copy the files out onto a real directory on the fileserver so the installer can find them. The nfs installer used to be smart enough to just look inside of the iso, so has that capability gone away? Second, there used to be a file called images/diskboot.img that you could just copy to a usb flash drive using dd which you could then boot from to do a nfs install.

Quest8ion about what backup util to use.
I have a dirt simple backup scheme. I have a list of directories that I back up and they all get copied to a disk that was put in just for that purpose. I used to use something called flexbackup, but it occasionally had problems and it hasn't been supported in years. I'd like to give it a conf file and have a full backup run of those dirs once a month and then have incrementals done on a daily basis. The resulting files should be somehow compressed and easy to access when needed. (I go on the presumption that you only need your backup if you don't make it.) Is there a favored util that will do what I want? TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

Re: does the DVD ISO for F10 ever change?
Steven Stern wrote: Fred Silsbee wrote: Let me explain: I just downloaded F10 dvd iso and burned it onto a DVD -R It works great and survived a number of tests. Question: If I repeat the procedure in a few months, will the data change due to updates! I.e. does the dvd iso image keep up with updates? If not, I'd expect that the backlog of yum updates would be staggering in a few months. See "re-spins" at http://fedoraunity.org/ More generally, we don't change the contents of any distribution file (be it .rpm or .iso) without renaming it, except when we sign RPMs. Otherwise we'd get false alarms all over the place about GPG signatures not matching, and then people would ignore those warnings when their downloads got corrupted or an attacker successfully served them a trojaned file. The rename may be as simple as incrementing a version number or adding a datestamp, but something will change. -- Chris -- 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

Sometimes the DVD will get ejected after burning and sometimes it will be ejected, then the door will close automatically and immediately. Even for the exact same ISO file. There is no logic to it. I think this is a race condition between the automounter and the burning software: the burner resets the drive (thereby doing the eject), then it reloads the drive but Gnome or whatever is grabbing it before the burner code can. Perhaps disabling the automount would fix that. Just an idea to try. How does one "disabling the automount" If you're using Gnome, open the "System" menu, then go to "Preferences-->Personal-->File Management" and open the "Media" tab. You can select actions for the various kind of removable media. Either set each to "Do Nothing" or select the "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion" option near the bottom.

ANYTHING connected to the internet is vulnerable to attack, be it SYN floods, brute force SSH attempts, any number of others. Wait till you get a DC++ attack! The only way to block that sucker is to do a deep packet inspection of the payload and drop the connections or find the hub that has you listed and kill it somehow. It's totally irrelevant what OS you run, it's an attack against the interface. Different OSes handle it differently. It's best to have a hardware firewall out front, but then internal software firewalls like iptables are your second level of defense. Next is making sure only the network "listeners" you NEED are enabled. I manage a network that seems to have a big, red target painted on it. I deal with this all the time. Thank goodness for our Cisco, Foundry and Radware gear out front! They block most of it, the rest we deal with via iptables and we monitor EVERYTHING (my cell phone has almost melted on occasion from the SMS text alerts when a DOS is attempted). As to your problem, Comcast's first level techs (and I'm being generous using that term) are notoriously crappy as far as solving problems. They're not much more than telemarketers and work off a script. Ask them something off script and they're at sea. Can't say Time Warner is much better. One problem I had with them: Me: "I'm not getting a DHCP address from you, your DHCP servers are down." Them: "Which OS?" Me: "Linux." Them: "Oh, we don't support Linux." Me: "DHCP is DHCP you twit. The OS has nothing to do with it! Let me talk to a level 3 tech." (this went on for about five minutes, I threatened dire vengeance, then I got a level 3 guy [skipped level 2, they're idiots, too]) Level3Guy: "What's the problem?" Me: "You're not giving out DHCP addresses. Your servers are down." L3G: "I don't think so." Me: "Dude, I'm watching a tcpdump of it. I'm sending requests and you're not answering. No denials, no responses, nada." L3G: "Let me check." (long pause) L3G: "Yeah, six of them crashed." Me: "You don't monitor that sort of thing?" L3G: "Uh, guess not."

Every time I > wish to use the scanner, I need to switch users to root. Well I would guess it is an incorrectly configured /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file. If you search that file you will find there are number of clauses that set policies and restrictions on users. So I would: 1. Look at the documentation for this file accessible through the cups interface. 2. Search the file for the word root and user. root should appear only once in the SystemmGroup line. user appears in the various policies and restriction clauses.. These must be checked to change your restricted situation. -- === Walk softly and carry a megawatt laser. === Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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
