There were some unfinished initiatives to do something like this during the F10 cycle (Mola had a wonderful work in progress image) and it make a lot of sense, since 10 is a round name, a kind of anniversary. Why 11 is special so it would deserve that? Just because fedora has been around for 10 rounds so why not make fedora 11 something special to show the supporters and non-supporters alike that fedora has stood the test of time and give them something special? Make yourself a proposal (an image) and let's have a look at it. P.S. Fedora is about doing something different isn't it? so why not move the anniversary number over to a odd number? No, the main attribute of Fedora isn't different, we try to promote the message freedom - friends - features - first. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Note about mediawiki plugin
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Many of you got an email yesterday concerning your fas username and password. Basically we have a custom plugin for our mediawiki install (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/). That plugin still had some debug logging enabled which was causing people who logged in to get their username and password logged to the apache error logs. That in itself isn't really a problem. It's not good practice but its not a breach or anything as long as no untrusted parties get ahold of those logs. Still I think people have an expectation that their passwords are always secure and not stored unencrypted somewhere (I know I feel that way) so we thought we'd let people know who's names we found in the logs so they can change their password if they wish. The logs were discovered after our outage a few days back. While looking for the cause of some 500 errors related to the db1-db3 switch, we discovered the offending username/password combos. After that Ricky paged me, we talked a bit about what to do. I went back to sleep to think on it some and in the morning agreed with ricky. We decided it best to just remove the log lines and send an email out to everyone to let them know. People in sysadmin-main and sysadmin-web have access to these logs (and they're the groups charged with running the site) so as you can see, there really was nothing to it. I'm actually happy to say that we use encrypted passwords everywhere now, before FAS2 came out that wasn't true. So if anyone has any questions about what happened, direct them to this email (it'll be in the public archives).

I think that would have gone a long way to sparing you from some data loss. Agreed, there are a multitude of different ways that I could have approached this that might have prevented loss of data. Fortunately, once I figured out what had happened I was able to mount both sda and sdb individually and get the files off that I needed. As for copying my system to a set of spare drives, its not like I (or likely too many other people here) just have a set of spare drives kicking around with a few hundred GB of empty space on them, just in case of emergency. Sounds great, but in practice What I want to emphasize from my initial post, though, was that its entirely possible for someone to get into this funky state and to have data loss and/or mirror failure without actually doing anything unusual. The F10 installed told me that it was installing onto the nvidia dmraid setup that I had, and thus I expected that as a result that when it was done that I'd actually be running on that dmraid setup (or that it'd at least throw some sort of message to indicate that it *wasn't*). Instead, though, I ended up running on bare sda. IMO, anyone who had a dmraid setup and that has since upgraded to F10 could now very likely be just as hosed as I was. Even if they don't get the behaviour of swapping from sda to sdb, they're still running *without* the dmraid that they were led to believe that they installed in/on. -- Graham TerMarsch Generally, if the data is worth saving, then it is worth backing up, too. If the data is worth saving from a possibly bad disk, image it to a second known-good hard drive and perform recovery work on the second drive, never the original. That way you can try again if your first attempts at recovery don't work. Hard drives are really cheap to get these days. So it is reasonable to keep at least one or more external drives that have backups of your data. Keeping a few known-good scratch drives around can really save the day sometimes. Western Digital makes an entire business out of supplying MyBook and MyPassport drives for this very purpose. It is also easy to put an internal drive in an external hard drive enclosure which uses USB and plug it in. I don't consider this to be expensive at all -- indeed if you shop around you can pick up great hard drives quite cheaply. -- 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

Is it me or what? Musical chairs with fonts?
Seems that every time there is a new Xorg release my desktop fonts are changing. One time it is too large, and now it is very small (try size 5 or 6). Sometimes the window apps positions have shifted, or the mounted-disk desktop icons have shifted forcing me to reset the settings and re-save the desktop settings. Not a big deal, just a bit annoying.

Virtualizing XP with dual boot FC10/XP
I have FC10 and Windows dual booted on my PC and would like to virtualize XP with KVM. I want to be able to both boot to XP and also virtualize it in FC10 (obviously not at the same time). When I try to install a new virtual machine the process wants to install XP from the CD. Is there a way to just point to the XP partition on the disk?

Re: Virtualizing XP with dual boot FC10/XP
I just installed Windows XP Professional under KVM. I put the installation CD in the CD drive. This is very much like installing Windows XP on any other machine. Pop the CD in and go! Once I set up the virtual machine for Windows XP, the installer on the CD started right up and installed it. I now have a virtual machine that runs Windows XP, however I am in trouble with the Windows activation process because I can't (yet) provide a valid product key code to the Microsoft activation server. The installation CD is from Dell, I just bought a new laptop with a Dell Windows XP downgrade and I need to ask Dell's support people how I'm supposed to provide a valid product key for this. It may be that I have to install Windows Vista first (because I have a Vista CD and product key too) and then downgrade to XP, I don't know quite yet. So what I'm saying is, you need the installation CD for Windows XP or you need a network installation point for Windows XP which is set up the way Microsoft says it should be. I don't think you can just point to an Windows XP partition and install from that. Of course, I've never tried it; I've always been mesmerized by the need for a product key and that usually means an associated installation CD because some utilities found on the CD are not installed by default. The final point is -- since you are setting up a second machine with Windows XP -- you need a product key for it meaning a proper license for it. That is how Microsoft works, and they go to great lengths to enforce the you-must-pay-for-Windows-it-is-not-free mindset. Now hopefully, I can figure out how to activate my Windows XP.

And folderview doesn't even use XRender directly, only through Qt. This is at least the second time I'm telling you this. Can't you read? Do you have Alzheimer's? Or are you just trolling?

I have found, that removing the applet and re-adding the applet to the panel, re-setting the locale, clicking on the Weather tab: F, changing it to something other, then back to F, seems to restore it. Seems for some reason, Gnome-2 configuration files gets messed up, which may mean that you may need to reset the offending applet or application via the method mentioned above. Occassionally, I find that the User Switcher, and the Clock messes up as well and also needs to be reset. Don't forget to Session-Save as well after making the changes. None of that makes any difference. I've assumed we're talking about the gnome clock applet, which offers weather information. But perhaps we're talking about the weather applet, which is a different critter? I've removed, re-added, reset everything in the clock applet and it simply doesn't show any weather info. But the weather applet works in that it shows a temperature--so far it isn't showing anything else... And how does one Session-Save, as you mention above? I don't see anything on any gnome menu with a similar name... Thanks for your advice! I am talking about the clock applet that you see for date and time, that appears in the panel (mine is on top). When I log in, I get these Gnome dialog errors that tells me the applet(s) are messed up. So I close the dialog boxes, then remove the offending applet(s) icons in the panel (as reported by the Gnome dialog boxes), then proceed to add them back in. If the Weather icon that appears to the left of the date/time is not working, then I select the icon preferences, click the Location tab to ensure that I have the correct location (mine was empty), then click the Weather tab, drop-down the 'Temperature Unit', select 'Default', then close the Preferences. Next, open the Preferences again, reset the Temperature Unit back to 'F' (for my location, but you can choose whatever you want), close the preferences box again. Wait awhile, then it worked. As for 'Save Session', I wanted to make sure that the new applets were saved in Gnome-2 configuration files because I am not sure if it is 'committed' automatically and this may not be required. When I ran into these problems initially, I wanted to see if my account gnome-2 configuration were messed up, so as a test, I created a new temporary user - a different account - to see if the Weather icon works, i.e. if by creating a new account, new (virgin) gnome-2 configuration files are created properly. If the Weather icon did not work, then I can assume that there was something wrong with my gnome package on my system.

Re: kpackagekit settings do not stick
Endy wrote: I'm having a problem with the kpackagekit settings. First of all, kpackagekit != kpackage (as you wrote in the subject). Please be precise, as they are completely different software. I have set it to check for updates daily, not hourly, and not to ever automatically install updates. Yet, it seems like after every time I use kpackagekit to run updates or install new packages, those settings get reset to the defaults: checking every hour, and automatically apply security updates. Anyone else seeing the same behavior or have any suggestions? Yes, somehow KPackageKit loves to forget its settings, I don't understand why, really. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475303 We patched it now to make it the internal default not to automatically install anything (this was already the kde-settings default, but KPackageKit forgot that too!), but that's really just taping over the issue.

Though, AFAIK, it didn't have SELinux problem under both F8 and F9. On the other side VMWare Server 2.x hass replaced the GTK console application with a super-complex web-client which, coupled with VMWare's known tendency to release half-broken RPMs, makes it an SELinux accident waiting to happen... Let me be precise. I have VMWare server running right now on this laptop on which I'm typing this message. In 'About' it says it is version 1.0.7 build-108231; my running kernel is - # uname -r 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686 the patch I'm using to make it work is called vmware-update-2.6.27-5.5.7-2 which I found using Google - it has survived several kernel upgrades and supercedes the any-any patches I haven't bothered to install VMWare Server 2.X because at the moment, I have no need for it, and as you point out, it's a bit more complicated. I haven't tried any of the linux-land alternatives yet for the same reason. My approach may work for some, if not for all, but, to simply make the blanket statement that VMWare server is broken for F10 or for Kernels 2.6.26 is wrong. A couple of things before I have to go catch a plane... First - This question was not an invitation to poop on VMware Server, Workstation, or anyone else's virtualization products (except _maybe_ Hyper-V grin). VMware happens to be the market leader for a reason, and they have historically been reasonably good corporate citizens to the world of Open Source. I asked if anyone knew what the problem was and if it had been fixed. OK - so it hasn't yet. I challenge that shady RPMs and other stuff is a reason _not_ to investigate the issue. By the by - VMware Server 2.0 doesn't use an RPM based installer anymore (a HUGE MISTAKE if you ask me), and the same issues exist. Since RHEL tends to trail Fedora, I'll bet this gets fixed with the next major RHEL release, if not sooner because many people do run VMware Server on Fedora. As to how long this has gone on, it has since F8 and VMware Server 1.0.x. The only known work-around I am aware of is to disable selinux, after which it runs impressively well. It compiles and runs on F9 and F10 out of the box with no patches needed. VMware Server 2.0 is no more complicated than 1.0.x by the way. In fact, a TON of things are much nicer! But it is definitely different than 1.0.x in many important ways. Examples include the ability to control everything about it via a browser, run a VM's console remotely using a Firefox extension, and directly managing a variety of kinds of storage on the fly. It is not, however, something I would recommend for a workstation setup. Use VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, KVM, etc. for that. VMware Server 2.0 is absolutely intended as a lightweight, server based virtualization solution. Trying to make it do something else is asking for issues.
