updates from 2008-12-10 are still missing

2008-12-11 Thread Andre Robatino
A new batch of update emails is now being sent, and the associated 
updates are actually there, which is nice.  But the updates associated 
with yesterday's emails, including the packagekit-related packages that 
fix the broken dependencies, and the new glibc workaround to the DNS 
bug, are still missing.

Pulseaudio log messages - workaround?

2008-12-11 Thread Mike Cloaked

I have been getting a load of messages in my /var/log/messages file running
f10 concerning pulseaudio.
These correspond exactly to the reports at
http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/420
Does anyone have a workaround until the issue is fixed upstream?

I dunno :-). Maybe we don't need another layer, maybe we just need
the simple check for obvious dependency problems in "testing", but
I think maybe the the associated packages might be in "testing"
already, yet they weren't marked to go to "updates" at the same time.

I'm aware of Multilib and I've been running a 64bit install for years
now and using it to run 32bit binaries.
The original poster was asking for a 64bit only system though. If it
is 64bit only, it will obviously not have 32bit libs.

Evolution with mapi plugin?

2008-12-11 Thread Christopher A. Williams
Will we see a version of evolution with the new mapi provider plugin
that's being developed show up in the F10 or rawhide repos? I think you
need 2.25.x for this.

Just something I'm interested in having a closer look at, but don't have
the time right now to go through re-compiling Evolution from source on
my work laptop for it.

Cheers,

Chris

You can access gmail through IMAP using KMail.

As for NVidia, there's no support for proprietary drivers on the live CD,
and there can't be support for those drivers on *any* live CD using
packages from Fedora and/or RPM Fusion before the new RPM Fusion driver
setup work is complete. (Right now, you can only install one driver at a
time, i.e. no multiple versions of nvidia nor coexisting nvidia and fglrx,
and installing the driver also breaks systems without the hardware using
that driver.) And even when it will possible, I doubt Rex will include
stuff from RPM Fusion on a CD which is supposed to be testing for what will
be in Fedora - it's clear that proprietary drivers will *never* be in
Fedora!

desktop effects on intel onboard graphics card

2008-12-11 Thread Paulo Cavalcanti
Hi,

I am not being able to use desktop effects with
an Intel onboard graphics card (DG45ID). It turns my desktop
upside down and reverses the menu texts. It is impossible
to click any menu option this way.

This happens either in gnome or kde, and I have no xorg.conf.

Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?

Thanks.

KSynaptics has absolutely nothing to do with KDE 4.2, it is still
KDE-3-based. It is also maintained by different people (Orion Poplawski is
the maintainer.) Moreover, it currently doesn't work at all in F10 (as
discussed in the other thread) so it wouldn't make much sense to include it
on the live CD.

Annoying sudo change?

2008-12-11 Thread Tom Horsley
Is there some way to make sudo pay attention to my $PATH
(or even root's $PATH)?

I have a program named "mountie" in /usr/local/bin

I have /usr/local/bin in my $PATH. If I login as root,
I also see /usr/local/bin in root's $PATH, yet the
command:

sudo mountie

fails, while the command:

sudo /usr/local/bin/mountie

works.

Before going to fedora 10, plan old "sudo mountie" worked
fine.

How can I get the old behavior back so I don't have to
individually stumble across the 47,329 places I may
have sudo embedded in various scripts?

Possibly. It tells me that your mplayer package verifies fine, which
means that the executables has not been tampered with. Examining the
executable I see that it depends on libgpm.so.2 via libaa.so.1:

$ ldd /usr/lib/libaa.so.1|grep gpm
libgpm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.2 (0x00273000)
$ rpm -q --whatprovides libaa.so.1
aalib-libs-1.4.0-0.16.rc5.fc10.i386

Can you reproduce that? I assume that either you've got a wrong
aalib-libs package or one in /usr/local that overrides the system's one.
Right?

Hi all,

I haven't seen this reported anywhere else and it's kind of driving

I've got an LVM volume group that extends across two internal

fine during boot and the filesystems listed in /etc/fstab mount  
fine. As

of Fedora 10, the initialization of the volume group fails apparently
because the USB drive is not yet registered when LVM attempts to

I have a workaround, namely the following in rc.local:

vgchange -ay Backups
mount -o defaults,noatime /dev/Backups/Backup /backup
mount -o defaults,noatime /dev/Backups/Staging /staging

Obviously this is non-optimal since it bypasses the automatic fsck  
step.



I am not sure, but I suspect that you can fix this by rebuilding
your initrd, including the usb_storage module this time.

The current approach is to build initramfs images that are tailored to a 
specific system - only the modules actually required to get the root 
file system going are included by default.


You can override that using the "--with" option to mkinitrd. I think you 
can also set this up persistently by adding a "MODULES=" entry to 
/etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd.

I had a similar experience this morning when I ran 
$ sudo yum update 
on my F9 system. It installed 10 packages, updated 24 and removed 4 and I got 
the "Introspect error". 

In addition I got this really useful message in an error dialog:

Error Type: 
Error Value: list index out
of range

Well, duh! Stupid me. I should have known that!

To make matters worse, ther error dialog is about 2" square on my 20" monitor 
and is not resizable. Taking into account, the icon and the Close button, that 
leaves about 1" horizontal by 1/2" vertical for the text box which needed both 
horizontal and vertical scroll bars because of its small size, futher reducing 
the space for the actual message.

Please tell me that this is just a side effect of the current PackageKit issues 
and not a final-designed-for-the-end-user message.

Well, at least the kmod-ndiswrapper dependency issues are resolved this morning.

Steve.

I've not had to bother with doing something like this, but a quick glance at 
the '/etc/sudoers' file shows a parameter for 'env_keep' which might be what 
you need.

No idea whether this was changed to remove PATH between F9 and F10.

I'm not sure if you can now.  Sudo is compiled with the --secure-path
option in F10.  There was a thread on fedora-devel about this a few
weeks ago.  I don't recall any solution to your question coming out of
it though.  But perhaps knowing where the PATH issues stem from will
help you locate a suitable solution or work-around.

So what is the plan to allow users to manage their touchpad in KDE4.2 ?

So what is the plan to allow users to control their touchpads in
KDE4.2 ?   Have laptop users been totally left out in the cold ?  Why is
there such extreme insensitivity to this topic ?

I can't even turn my touchpad off in F10.  Its a huge pain in the butt.

And yet several of the KDE4.2 widgets are designed to use the advanced
features offered by the proprietary nvidia drivers and the end users
will be using the proprietary drivers.

So basically KDE is shipping a feature that won't get tested.  Ie RECIPE

The Fedora community needs to decide how serious they want to be about
improving the quality of their releases.

If they really want to get serious about things, I suggest they start
improving the Live iso offerings and working with users that are willing
to spend time running the prerelease software to make their job
easier.

Maybe fedora should strip these out then?  (rhetorical, I don't expect a

Well, I can always rebuild from source without it :-).

There is still some kind of bug, so I submitted this:

If it is gonna arbitrarily replace the PATH, it shouldn't

You should investigate this.  Folderview has not crashed or frozen for me 
since I started using it, in early 4.1.  You need to know what's interacting

It's hard.  In this case prerelease = (for the most part) rawhide.  And
getting out fresh *live* bits is hard.

In the meantime, we're down to enterprising folks spinning test live isos
(as I'm trying to do here) or being ginnea pigs on full installs (and
enabling something like the http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ F10-unstable
repos used to generate the aforementioned f10-kde42 live images).

hopefully, we'll get kde-4.2-beta2 in shape soonish.

The only such widget I'm aware of is the wholely useless bluemarble widget

They really shouldn't, they aren't supported and are known to cause a lot of
trouble.

We already know: crappy NVidia drivers which we can't fix because they're

anyone have bluetooth working?

2008-12-11 Thread Michael Cronenworth
Ever since the move from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10, I haven't had working 
bluetooth. I suspect it's the dbus issues, which even after today's 
updates are still not resolved, but I want to see if anyone else has it 
working.


I have two systems both with an ASUS Bluetooth 2.0 adapter and neither 
one of them displays the adapter in the Preferences menu under the 
bluetooth tray icon. The kernel modules are getting loaded. 
/var/log/messages display bluetoothd registering interfaces and says 
"Adapter /org/bluez/2027/hci0 has been enabled" so it /looks/ like it 
should work, but the tray icon is completely empty and I cannot scan for 
devices.


However, if I use the hcitool program for scanning, I can find devices.

Ask the KSynaptics/libsynaptics maintainer (who is the person responsible
for getting it to work with the current Synaptics driver API). Or the
synaptics driver maintainer(s) (who are the ones behind the decision to
disable SHMConfig by default).

I never bothered disabling my touchpad even if I almost always have a mouse
plugged into my laptop, so why should I start worrying about it now? I am
not a maintainer or comaintainer of KSynaptics nor of the synaptics
drivers, so how is it my fault that KSynaptics doesn't work? File bugs.

I'm looking for a few good folks to volunteer to help with A/V

day of FUDConF11 (January 10/2009). If you are coming to FUDConF11 and
are willing to help with A/V or are willing to loan any of the
following, please let me know:

* lav (clip-on) or headset mics, especially wireless
* camcorder
* laptop for recording or streaming

Clint Savage has kindly agreed to bring a mixer and mics, and Matt
Domsch and I are bringing camcorders. The current plan is to try and
stream one room of audio (and maybe video) and record the other rooms
for later posting.

If you get them out, I'll push people on this list to test them.  Deal ?

I wonder how many people know how easy it is to put an ISO on a USB
drive ?   I did it yesterday for the first time.  Its darn slick.

The later is unacceptable to anyone using their system for everyday
work.   Live ISOs rule.  I know its a lot of work to put these things
together, but if we want better releases, we need way more testing.

folderview uses the advanced rendering.  Details in this bug report.

So what non proprietary driver should I be using for my nvidia card ?
It needs to support twinview for dual monitors and have a gl library.

Bingo. A yum update aalib-libs fixed the problem. 

Now I have a couple of questions:

because of libaa-libs?

If you install F10 on enough machines, you'll eventually find one that

F10 - dIsabling IPv4 addressing

2008-12-11 Thread Robert Moskowitz
I am doing IPv6 testing and do NOT want any IPv4 addresses on my eth0.  
I have RADVD running on my network to supply my v6 prefixes.



So in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, I edit BOOTPROTO to =none

When I save ifcfg-eth0, NetworkManager reports the network is down.  If 
I start eth0 in NetworkManager, I get IPv4 addresses.  If I use ifdown 
to bring eth0 back down, then ifup, I don't get IPv4 addresses, only my 
IPv6 global assignment.


What do I have to do to get the desired behaviour?

Oh, I am logged in as root, so I don't have to futz with permissions to 
fiddle with the interface.

If past experience is any guide, you'll have to wait for Evo 2.26,
which should be out in time for F11, though I guess Rawhide might get

dmraid & mkinitrd under F10 x86_64

2008-12-11 Thread Raymond C. Rodgers
Under F8 or F9, I had managed to build an initrd image that would 
automatically mount my non-boot dmraided drives without any effort on my 
part; this was obviously a while ago, and I'm no expert on mkinitrd. 
When I installed F10, it wiped out that configuration, and is instead 
intent upon mounting the individual drives and not initialize dmraid at 
all. I've been trying to get this fixed for a few days now, but can't 
seem to come up with an answer. Can any one give me an answer?


After unmounting the individual drives, I currently activate the dmraid 
as root with:


dmraid -a yes  nvidia_gdedfbbj

Then mount the desired partitions. The device mapper device files for 
the partitions are in my /etc/fstab with an appropriate mounted path, 
which makes it a simple "mount /media/drive" command possible once 
dmraid has been activated.


But mkinitrd seems to be where I'm having the problem. I just tried 
using --force-raid-probe which is listed in the usage notes (mkinitrd 
-h), but apparently it isn't actually available as a command line 
option. Would using "--with=dmraid" work?


Thanks,
Raymond

You would prefer that the installer remove all packages not on the
installation media on upgrading? If it did that then you would lose
the ability to simply upgrade all applications from 3rd parties after
install.

Because the installer ignores these problems, as soon as you have your
repositories reconfigured again for Fedora 10, all you have to do is
run an update to fix things.

If the installer removed all broken applications, you'd have to
install all of them by hand again manually after your repositories
were reconfigured again.  If you want to do that you might as well
just do a fresh install instead of an upgrade.

Also if past evolution experience is any guide, you'll end up with
something that is even more broken than the evolution connector,
but the connector won't be supported anymore. I have no idea
what the design goals for evolution are, but I am absolutely
positive that "make it work well" is not one of the
goals.

Perhaps a more useful bit of QA prior to each push of packages to

You don't provide enough information to really tell, but it
sounds like you *installed* F10 instead of updating.  The
default during install is to overwrite existing partitions.
 If this is the case, your old OS is definitely gone.  Check
the home directory contents by doing ls -al /home  .
If there is nothing there, your data is probably gone.

But also check if there are any partitions outside your
current OS by running /sbin/blkid or df.  If there are,
perhaps one of them was ignored by the update and actually
contains your old home directory with all your data.  You
should be able to then mount that directory and copy the old
data to your new home directory.

Post back if you are still having problems.

An installation DVD is dangerous if you don't give it
respect.  To prevent this in future you should go into the
bios of your laptop as it is starting and change the boot
order so that HD is used before CD/DVD.  Then you have to
manually change it back before you can start an install DVD.

There are a set of bluez related updates in updates-testing if you
feel like seeing if they help.


Ah, found a bug.

...No kiddin! I would switch my default mail client to Thunderbird and
an appropriate calendaring extension in a heartbeat if I could figure
out how to make it work with our exchange server for *both* mail and
calendaring.

Unfortunately, their tools for this appear to be even less capable that
Evolution.

Why was this dbus disaster released mid-release?

2008-12-11 Thread Michael Cronenworth
Where was this discussed? Where was this tested? Why wasn't the change 
*REVERTED* immediately?


System security? This is local access only. dbus has been open for 
years. A dbus package with the change REVERTED should had been released 
instead of having to wait weeks for fixed packages. System Services, 
PackageKit, bluez, and who knows what else is still broken.


Today's dbus updates didn't fix anything by the way. Yes, bugs are 
filed, but discussion of the issue isn't appropriate in those bugs.

John,

I have had the same problem on two machines.  You can bypass this for
the time being by doing a "yum update --exclude=PackageKit-qt" at the
command prompt.

Hopefully they will be able to get this fixed soon.

The maintainer responsible for the push already apologized publicly
for pushing to stable:

http://cgwalters.livejournal.com/22189.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-December/msg00812.html

Pushing to stable was not intended and was done by mistake. Shall I

Mistakes happen. I very much expect Colin will be making a personal
extra effort to careful for awhile, to ensure he doesn't make that
sort of mistake again.

> Why wasn't the change
> *REVERTED* immediately?

That's a question I don't have an answer for.  Epoch could have been
bumped to handle the version downgrade for a reversion.  I think this
was the first mention of reverting the dbus update that I have seen in
discussion.

I will say that there is a general problem in reverting. Once a
package is in the wild, and a subset of affected packages are submited
as updates to match it, reverting may not be a silver bullet as it
would require reverting subsequent updates.  I don't know if this is
the case.  Reverting policy is something for FESCo to talk about I
think.

Mounting ext4 filesystems

2008-12-11 Thread Bill Davidsen
Is there a tool like dumpe2fs which will let me see the UUID of a filesystem in 
ext4 format? And if so, dare I hope that if I put the UUID and type ext4 in 
/etc/fstab that it will mount without my doing any manual labor?


The machine in question has kind of a variable hardware configuration, and I 
don't dare use a device name in fstab, since it could be wrong.Or is there a 
newer version of dumpe2fs in the pipeline which will provide that capability? 
The version on rawhide is the same as FC9, other than saying fc11 instead of fc9 
in the version-id.

Dbus hasn't been the only package affected by a pre-mature push to
stable.  Its happened to less critical applications as well. I've had
applications I had to scramble to update because a dep was pushed
directly into stable by another maintainer.

We have to be very careful about finding the balance between
protecting users from human error without overburdening maintainers
with a set of bureaucracy that makes it more difficult for them to
contribute.

Part of that balance could be having more automated testing.. but that
sort of thing takes people to develop and implement.  If there was a
general call made for new contributors to help implement more
automated testing would you step up and help write code to implement
that?

Has anyone had any success at this and how do handle 2 rca type

Thanks.


You have had a lot of advice on hardware and software, I'll just add that the 
quality of the result is limited by the worst hardware in the chain. So unless 
you are going to buy new hardware to play the old cassettes and reel-to-reel, or 
the r2r is half inch tape recorded in a studio with top equipment, you will 
probably not lose a lot by using a decent sound card as the A-D conversion.


For two channel input I have used "rec" from the sox package, and left every 
ugly thing in the first recording for removal after the fact. Then you can use 
various tools to remove noise, boost quiet segments, etc. Some of the stuff on 
tape may be compressed (Dolby or similar), that's good, you can expand it later 
and it help signal to noise.


You might want to record once and use the level check in sox to tell you how 
much you can boost gain without clipping. Then record again at higher gain. 
Remember that if you have loud clicks and pops, you can boost gain and let them 
clip, fidelity is not an issue there.


Finally, for records, there is a USB connected turntable I just saw advertised, 
I think it was about $200, which is sort of borderline between consumer and 
audiophile pricing. If you have a decent table and preamp probably not needed.

First off, you'll want to make sure your /etc/resolv.conf has some

Now I doubt the system is capable of running as a pure ipv6 host
unless someone put in the effort to flush out the last few ipv4
dependencies.  We do have ~3 decades of ipv4 dependencies wired into
the code. There are no doubt lots of programs that were never updated
to use ipv6 sockets.

Yeah, what I was thinking of is "vol_id" which doesn't seem to be in the path,

Re: can't use yum

2008-12-11 Thread gab_v
Hi people!
I solved the problem. The message lighted me was "no network connection. device 
is unmanaged".

I did the following:

-) right-click on the network icon on your top-right bar.
-) ensure to have marked "enable network manager"
-) edit a new connection, putting your MAC address in.

(services netwotk and NetworkManager are running)

reboot.

It worked.

Even the network icon says still no network connection, I can surf the net, 
ping whatever I want, and use yum!

It worked!

Thank You for your hints!

I hope it could work to some friend in troubles

Re: F10 - dIsabling IPv4 addressing

What do I have to do to get the desired behaviour?



You'll be doing yourself a favor if you ditch NetworkMangler and use
the traditional network infrastructure.  


chkconfig network on
chkconfig NetworkManager off

(Then run system-config-network and make sure your interfaces are
configured the way you want then.  Save and reboot.)
  


Yeah. I was afraid of that. Of course that means for the wireless, I get 
to go the old wpa_supplicant route too. But I am quite an old hand at 
that also.

First off, you'll want to make sure your /etc/resolv.conf has some
ipv6 nameservers listed.

Now I doubt the system is capable of running as a pure ipv6 host
unless someone put in the effort to flush out the last few ipv4
dependencies.  We do have ~3 decades of ipv4 dependencies wired into
the code. There are no doubt lots of programs that were never updated
to use ipv6 sockets.
  


You cannot turn off IPv4 for lo. At least that I have found. The kernel 
is hardwired for IPv4 and you would have to build your own to rip it 
out, and then you will probably break a lot. I figure 10 years after we 
successful transition MOST of the ipv4 dependencies will be moved to 
unloadable modules (maybe for the 3.8 kernel!)


And for all the talk about IPv6 ready, you are right there are a lot of 
things we depend on that only work over IPv4. VNC is an example. Only 
RealVNC SUPPOSEDLY works with IPv4. Maybe the work to switch from VNC to 
TightVNC for FC11 could include adding IPv6 support


At the last IETF, there was further talk about redesigning the APIs to 
only present names to the apps and blocking them from getting IP 
addresses. And perhaps even 'jimmying' some lower layer parts to control 
bad behaviour! My HIP effort is one noted as one of the models for 
replacing what apps see about IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.




Oh, I am logged in as root, so I don't have to futz with permissions
to fiddle with the interface.



Sigh.  


Yes, one of these days all this stuff will just work right for regular 
userids.


And that will be in the 4.9 kernel :>'

Audacity will let you see the tracks and cut them out. Also hand remove pops and 
clicks if you have patience. Depending on the recording you may want (or have) 
to adjust gain on a per track basis.

I would not do a blanket +1 for all packages...on the day you install
them.  It's only going to be useful if you make the effort to actually
use the packages. Just having them installed for a day and sending in
love, isn't going to help protect other users from accidental
regressions.

For example. I have evolution installed. I personally don't use
evolution. Having me +1 the evolution testing-update even though I
installed it, doesn't help protect other users who do actively use it.
 For me to do that would be somewhat counter-productive.

Its also important to take into account what each testing update is
trying to fix. It may not cause a regression, but it also may not fix
the problem its trying to resolve.

Now of course for things like libraries its tougher to understand if
you are using them or not. There is still a lot of ways left to
explore how to drive update-testing feedback into bodhi more
effectively.

The maintainer responsible for the pre-mature update has apologized.
He's not particularly happy about having caused the problem. Mistakes
happen.

I personally look forward to the day when the open source software
ecosystem toolset achieves self-awareness and starts writing and
implementing its own release policies, removing the need for any human
interaction in the process at all.  That will be a glorious 3.4
milliseconds before the newly aware computer overmind concludes that
humans should be purged. As our world burns, open source advocates
like myself will be able to take solace in the knowledge that the
dominant sentient species on the planet from that day forward will
have open source ideals as a core belief. We will have won the debate.

Fedora 10 - Clock Applet Calendar week starts from Tuesday

2008-12-11 Thread Ivan Virgili

If I look at the calendar from the clock applet, the week starts from Tuesday
and all the week numbers are incorret.
I tried to find a way to make the week start from either Monday or Sunday,
but I failed.
Any idea on how I can correct that?

Thanks,

Ivan

Delete language and keyboard from login screen - Fedora 10

2008-12-11 Thread Ivan Virgili

I would like to delete English US as an option on the language and keyboard
selection from the login screen.
I would just like to have English UK and nothing else. How can I achieve
that?

Thanks,

No, the problem has nothing to do with SELinux, afaik.


Thanks, my fault for reading the error message too quickly. I thought it was a
