Looking for Ideas on a User-friendly Join Process
Hi, My name is Marc Ferguson. I recently joined the websites group for Fedora Project and I've been assigned to help figure out a very universal and user-friendly way to tweak http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora. Can you please respond to this thread and let us know what your process is for people to join your group. In the end we want to make sure we're all on the same page and that the joining process is much easier, thus increasing the contributors to the project. Thanks. -- *Marc F.* www.fergytech.com ..Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come.. -Rev1:4 When life gives me lemons...

Re: Can pungi put packages in the iso that are not installed?
Joe Nall wrote: Can pungi put packages/groups in the iso that are not installed? Context: I'm building spin using pungi that includes packages that get installed in a second pass in a manner similar to firstboot. The packages require a number of services to be running to properly configure themselves and can't be grouped in the initial install. I want to include the packages in the repo, but not install them until the system has more services running. joe - What I do, is make package of packages. In this way, all available in-house built packages are available to install on first boot, from a slight modification I make to rc.local during the post. Basically, I have in rc.local: if [ packages exist in this dir ] then rpm -ihv dir/*rpm fi Here is a bit of justification for doing first boot packages: postgresql cannot be configured for network access during post install. One of our rpms modifies the postgresql configs, and then creates a specialized database. There are quite a few applications (like postgresql) that generate configuration settings the first time that they are started. Maybe this will get your creative juices flowing towards an even better method, and please, share! :) Good luck! -- Fedora-buildsys-list mailing list Fedora-buildsys-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-buildsys-list

(In reply to comment #2)
Fonts in the package have been replaced with symlinks to system fonts.
thx for that Wart.
But please allow me one question reg. the patch:
+Requires: dejavu-fonts-experimental bitstream-vera-fonts
[...]
+ln -s %{_datadir}/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
+ln -s %{_datadir}/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/vera_sans.ttf
Maybe a matter of taste, but wouldn't it be better to use those as requires:
Requires: %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
Requires: %{name}/fonts/vera_sans.ttf
That way the broken deps report will yell as soon as the files move (which
breaks the symlinks). That happens rarely (if ever), but I guess sooner or
later it will...
And yes, I'm aware that file deps outside of *bin/ have disadvantages

There will be an outage starting at 2008-12-24 14:00 UTC UTC, which will last approximately ? hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2008-12-24 14:00 UTC' Affected Services: Buildsystem DNS Fedora Talk Collaboration services (Gobby) Unaffected Services: CVS / Source Control Database Fedora Hosted Fedora People Mail Mirror System Torrent Translation Services Websites Ticket Link: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1090 Reason for Outage: serverbeach1-3 went out this morning. This happened a month ago from electrical issues but there's no word on if this is the same thing or related to that in any way. Nigel has submitted a ticket to them to get it looked at, generally they are very quick about fixing this, I'd be surprised if this took more then an hour. Having said that, we have no information so the whole building might have fallen into a sink hole or something.

RAID5 gets a bad rap
I was going back over the archives and saw a lot of people complaining about how slow RAID5 was, and did some quick research into this. Yes, it's true that it can be slowed down if you're rewriting fragmentary data in place, since this takes a read-modify-write operation. But that's true of most filesystems. If you're *not* a database weenie, and you're doing usual manly things with your filesystem (like lots of compiles, for instance), you're typically not going to be modifying files in place at all. You're going to either be writing out new files, or else opening existing files for writing, doing a truncate(fd, (off_t) 0) on them, and then writing them out, etc. Or else you're going to be opening lots and lots of files for reading... Both of which RAID5 does as well as the next thing (which would be RAID0). Why? Because if you're writing out files, you don't need to read-modify-write, you can just write (and write the stripe parity data at the same time). Ok, sure, you say, but what about the 16K (or whatever) stripe size versus writing data out in smaller chunks? Yes? What about it? You might be writing blocks out via stdio buffering in 4K chunks or whatever, but unless you're doing a sync() after every single write (buffer flush), the filesystem (ext3 or whatever) is free to accumulate consecutive blocks into handy (read: more efficient) chunks (such as multiples of the stripe size) and write them out all at once... again eliminating the need to do a read-modify-write (since you only need to do a read-modify-write if you're writing incomplete blocks). So is it just the database-heads that are maligning RAID5, or are there other performance issues I don't know about? Because my empirical experience has always been that when writing large files, RAID5 performs on par with RAID0. Ditto with reading lots of files. -Philip -- 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

Re: backup of my / filesystem
Mike Chambers-7 wrote: So your script backsup what is in the list= line? By the way I should have mentioned that this presumes that you have set up ssh between the machines for root using ssh keys so that no passwords are needed. It also presumes you are allowing root ssh login on the machine that you connect to that takes the backups. Note also that the -X flag on the rsync command will copy across the security contexts of files and directories - if you are not running SElinux enabled then that flag is not needed. Not also that it is set up to remove files on the backup area where they no longer exist in the machine being backed up. Additionally it is worth mentioning that first time round this takes a while as all files have to be copied, but in the future only files that have changed get copied across - hence this is a very quick incremental backup and the receiving disk has essentially an exact match to the directories being backed up. If you have two backup disks then you can alternate them for each successive backup so that if there were some problem during the backup process you would still have to previous copy. This system also means that recovering files or directories and their contents is very easy by simply doing a reverse rsync to copy back files that you want - and it is also very simple to find files on the backup area using the find command. Having this script located on the sbin area of each machine where you want to run a backup is easy to do and each machine can be configured separately by altering the script. I can usually run a backup from around 5 machines in about a quarter of an hour once the system is set up. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/backup-of-my---filesystem-tp21117673p21156816.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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

Re: Advice to an audiophobe ??
Thanks Tim; Some of these questions were meant simply as examples of the kind of thing I don't understand. Nonetheless, to flesh them out: On Wed, 2008-12-24 at 08:30 +1030, Tim wrote: On Tue, 2008-12-23 at 10:55 -0500, William Case wrote: * What is the difference between alsa and pulseaudio? Major differences: Pulseaudio can produce different sounds at the same time (e.g. your IM program can bleep at you while your music program carries on playing music, and do so without crashes, hangs, hold-ups for one to finish, or nasty noises), and with individual volume controls for each (e.g. your IM bleeps subdued, while your music may be reasonably loud). That begs the question, when I use the volume control gui the Device: field gives me five options: 1. HDA NVida (Alsa-mixer) 2. Analog Devices AD1986A (OSS Mixer) 3. Playback: HDA Nvida - AD198X Analog (PulseAudio Mixer) 4. Capture: Monitor of HDA NVidia - AD198x (PulseAudio Mixer) 5. Capture: HDA NVidia - AD198x Analog (PulseAudio Mixer) HDA NVida (Alsa-mixer) seems to be the default. 1. Gives me a whole range of adjustments for different channels. (I assume channels means different sources e.g. Master, Headphone, PCM etc.). 2. gives me two choices and 3., 4., 5. gives me only Master. Which should I choose and why? Help is less than useless. There should be a man page but damned if I can find anything helpful. man pulseaudio has techish for installing and setting up the backend but nothing that might be useful to an audio newbie. In case it helps: ]$ lspci returns 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) on a ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard; Fedora 10, Linux kernel 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64. If I should be using HDA NVida (Alsa-mixer), why do I have PulseAudio options? * What is the difference between Master, PCM, Front, Line-in, CD, PC-Speaker etc. ? Master is the overall volume control over everything, the same control that you're used to on your stereo system. PCM is just the volume control for generated sounds (Waves, MP3s, etc.). Front is the volume control for the front speakers, if you have a system with front and rear speakers (3 - 5, or more, speaker systems). Used as a balance control between front versus rear sound levels. Line-in will control the volume from the analogue audio line-in in socket (which may accept signals from something like 0.2 to 2 volts of audio, compare that to microphone sockets, which may use something in the range of 0.0001 to 0.010 volts, i.e. there's a large factor of difference between line and microphone signal levels). CD will (generally) control the volume from the (3 or 4 pin) analogue audio cable between the CD/DVD drive and the sound card. Although it's *possible* that systems digitally decoding the audio stream from the data from the drive (down the IDE/SATA cable) may *also* pay attention to that volume control, it's generally a hardware control of the line input on the audio card. PC speaker controls, if it's connected, the motherboard beeper volume through the sound card. On some systems, that's a cable between the beeper output and a sound card input, on others its handled without additional cabling, and others it can't be done. These individual mixer input controls should normally be left off if you never use them, as they can each introduce noise (hiss, beeps and burbles, etc.) to the system. I will turn them off except for Master and Front. I will experiment with PC Speaker. Of course these are only available to me if I use the default alsa mixer setting. By the way, I have a Multimedia Systems Selector frontend which gives various perms and combs which don't make sense given the above remarks and which 'help' says to leave alone if you are not an advanced user which, obviously, I am not. The test beep seems to work on just about any combination. There is also a sound preferences gui that is set to autodetect that seems to also test out with any setting giving a long bp. It is all very confusing. And when you do use them, it's dependent on the card whether the nominal position for the level control is all the way up (for simplicity's sake), or part way up (allowing you to listen to signals that are really too low in level). And again, there's variances as to where the partial position may be (e.g. half way, or three quarters up). Also, what's connected to the mixer plays a role there, whether it has a low output level that will need boosting, the same level as the card expects, or a high level that will normally be too much. * How is sound related to video ? Sound is the sound, video is the picture... The question is too vague to be answerable. Sorry, I didn't mean to be vague. Most of my sound problems over the years seem to have been related to sound that goes with video of different kinds - Flash being the most

It may have the world's worst human interface (with 47,629 command line options), but it seems to have that interface because the developers care more about making it play all the media in the universe than about making it seem slick.

Almost all of the applications that I use regularly are GTK-based anyway, and Red Hat and Fedora have always been more focused on GNOME than KDE, so it's hard to see any reason to continue with KDE now that the things that I like about it have been sacrificed on the altar of the KDE developers' grand vision. Good thing you're not bitter, eh? :-D I kid, I kid!

Do you have any proprietary drivers installed? radeontool ? I actually do not know much about these, all I've seen is the Xorg module radeon and another driver called radeonhd? I do not know where it comes from. Maybe someone on the list may help here? Also do you have an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? no. ( that's odd ) Well, Fedora 10 does not create an xorg.conf file by default so it is not odd. But however sometimes the computer and monitor do not work well togther that an xorg.conf file fixes things up. For instance, I could not get a display better than 800x600 with no xorg.conf file. However I created one by starting up Fedora in level 3(start up fedora and press a key when starting up, then type a 3 after rhgb and quiet parameter) then doing $ su - passwd: # Xorg -configure tested the driver with the instructions provided then # cp xorg.conf.net /etc/X11/xorg.conf then # exit get back to regular account and running startx from prompt.

Re: I'm a newcomer to Fedora 10 Live CD
I'm not familiar with running the live CD So you should not answer. You may need to run with the vesa driver. A proper xorg.conf was missing. I needed to create one with: X -configure Then I used it with: X -config /root/xorg.conf.new export DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-session and now I'm root inside Firefox. Could someone fix the appropriate script? -- 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
Security In F/OSS KDE [Was Re: is KDE dead - did Gnome win?]
On Sun, 2008-12-21 at 14:30 -0500, Dave Feustel wrote: [...] several years of experience with it on 4 different platforms (OpenBSD, Fedora, OpenSuse, and FreeBSD) have convinced me that KDE has security holes (or bugs) which permit exploits which cause me lots of trouble. This happens with all software - and is not a trait of KDE alone. This, I believe, gives Free and Open-source Software (F/OSS) one of its major advantages over proprietary alternatives: The entire world, in theory, has access to peruse through and fix things in the source code - instead of one company or a subset of people therein. Security issues are thus found and fixed in a more timely and correct fashion. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) pe...@thecodergeek.com 「ゴードン・ピーター」 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- 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
