Announcing Fedora 11 Alpha (blink)

2009-02-05 Thread Jesse Keating
To blink or not to blink: that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous users,
Or to take arms against a see of power drains.
And by opposing end them?  To die: to sleep;
No more: and by a sleep to say we suspend.

Ok enough of that.  The Fedora project is proud to present the
availability of Fedora 11 (Leonidas) Alpha.  Now is the time to test,
now is the time to improve.

The Alpha release provides the first opportunity for the wider community
to become involved with testing Fedora 11 by way of Rawhide:

Alpha represents a sanitized snapshot of rawhide, Fedora's development
branch, which undergoes rapid changes before becoming the next major
release.
  * The Alpha should boot on the majority of systems, and provides: 
  * A look at what new features are to be included in the
next release
  * A way to provide feedback and bug reports to help ensure
that the next release is as good as possible

For information about what new and wonderful things Alpha brings us,
please check out the release notes:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Alpha_release_notes

 What to test 
 

Test status is being tracked here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_Alpha_Install_Test_Results

Check out this page before reporting problems, including looking through
the bug trackers as linked on that page.

permission change and you may get a few permission denied messages while
this happens this morning)

Fedora 11 The Antikythera Mechanism

2009-02-05 Thread Olga Segou
Hello from Greece!

I would like to recommend the Antikythera Mechanism as a possible theme for
artwork... What is so great about the Antikythera Mechanism?

* It fits within nautical and greek themes (as it is a navigation device
built in Greece)
* It is the first mechanical computer, a device ahead of its time


Find out more, here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism


a small quote from wikipedia:



The *Antikythera mechanism* (IPA:
[ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA,
an-ti-ki-*theer*-uh), is an ancient mechanical
calculatorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator(also described as
the first known mechanical
computer 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism#cite_note-0
[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism#cite_note-Washington_Post-1)
designed to calculate astronomical
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomypositions. It was discovered
in the Antikythera
wreck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_wreck off the
Greekhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeceisland of
Antikythera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera, between
Kytherahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kytheraand
Crete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete, in 1901. Subsequent
investigation, particularly in 2006, dated it to about 150–100 BC; and
hypothesised that it was on board a ship that sank en route from the Greek
island of Rhodes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes to Rome.
Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until a
thousand years 
later.[3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism#cite_note-2

Jacques-Yves Cousteau
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques-Yves_Cousteauvisited the wreck
for the last time in 1978,
[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism#cite_note-3 but
found no more remains of the Antikythera Mechanism. Professor Michael
Edmunds of Cardiff University who led the study of the mechanism said: This
device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind. The design is
beautiful, the astronomy is exactly right. The way the mechanics are
designed just makes your jaw drop. Whoever has done this has done it
extremely carefully. He added: ...in terms of historic and scarcity value,
I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona
Lisahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa
.[5] 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism#cite_note-4[6]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism#cite_note-Guardian-5

The device is displayed in the Bronze Collection of the National
Archaeological Museum of
Athenshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Archaeological_Museum_of_Athens,
accompanied by a reconstruction made and offered to the museum by Derek de
Solla Price http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_J._de_Solla_Price. Other
reconstructions are on display at the American Computer
Museumhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Computer_Museumin
Bozeman,
Montana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bozeman,_Montana and the Children's
Museum of 
Manhattanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Museum_of_Manhattanin

The problem I see here is, without the explanation
most users will just see a geometrical shape and go, huh!
As there will be no text on the graphics.

Whereas the columns can be recognised as classical.

Mock patch to use hosts timezone info in the chroot

2009-02-05 Thread Jesse Keating
This patch copies the host /etc/localtime into the chroot.  This allows the 
chroot
to have the same timezone info as the host, which plays into timestamps and 
such.

Re: problems of running koji on CentOS with EPEL packages

2009-02-05 Thread 陈鲍孜
Thanks,
I think there may be something wrong configuring the host, because
when I tried the command /usr/sbin/kojid -f to see what happened, it
showed information such as below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/sbin/kojid, line 2732, in ?
main()
File /usr/sbin/kojid, line 68, in main
tm = TaskManager()
File /usr/sbin/kojid, line 532, in __init__
self.host_id = session.host.getID()
File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koji/__init__.py line
1133, in __call__
return self.__func(self.__name, args, opts)
File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koji/__init__.py line
1380, in _callMethod
raise err
koji.AuthError: No host specified

So I'm wondering whether I've made mistakes during configuring some
host. However, I'm really confused about which host it referred. Does
it mean the kojihub server? If so, what should I do?

I'm now playiing with the whole koji environment at one machine just
to see how it works, and plan to run it on several machines to do the
real jobs. I guess there must be something wrong with the URL
configuration of mine. But I don't know where.

Thank you Nicolas.  I didn't know about the FAQ...  I will try to out some
other fonts to see how it looks like -- they're used in OSD only so the metrics
is quite important.  But it might be the best solution after all.

I have a similar problem. In F10, after the last openoffice update to version
3.0.1-15.2, my ooocalc spreadsheets are taking more horizontal space than
before. It seems the horizontal spacing has changed. I can be mistaken, but I
think only the numbers are more spaced, I can't see any difference in the space
between letters. But I'm sure something has changed, because I have some
spreadsheets which were exactly as wide as my screen and now they don't fit
anymore. The font used is Arial.
I can see no noticeable difference in ooowriter documents.

Does this make sense? Is this possibly related to the bug reported by the OP?

We don't currently publish them but we have plans to.  If you're
interested in specific modules let me know and I can make sure to get them
to you.  The main issue is ensuring they're properly sanatized.  We used
to store passwords in configs and manifests way back when.  Also we do
some things in a messy way still, I'd hate to give people the idea that
its the right way to do it :)

None of my tests have been timing out or refusing connections, mostly

Karsten had a request for the docs site to be updated more often.  We'd
initially lowered it because of a request of one of our sponsors.  It was
running hourly, during that time it did a 400M transfer so it produced
noticeable load spikes.

I've altered the script to keep a cache.  Please comment (attached)

 I'll take a look, thanks for the pointer. The needs for us are, I think,
 pretty simple. It needs to work as a simple calendaring system - you can
 just use it as a calendar, nothing more, nothing less, if you don't want
 anything else - into which you can do all the usual calendar stuff,
 schedule events. The only other significant requirement for me is that
 it support CalDAV, because it's important to allow people to access it
 through other clients and calendar systems so that it doesn't become yet
 another damn thing they have to look at separately. I would be accessing
 the calendar from Evolution, for e.g., along with my personal calendar
 and other shared calendars I have going.

Adam,

Funny thing, I was just mentioning how it would be nice to have a
calendaring solution that would be able to let people pull feeds and
put items on the calendar for Fedora with use in FAS.  I think even
though there's currently no solution quite as good as google calendar
(or apple's iCal) in free software, there are alternatives.

Bongo Project - http://bongo-project.org/Main_Page  (formerly Hula) (GPLv2)
Bedework - http://www.bedework.org/bedework/ (BSD License)
DAViCal - http://rscds.sourceforge.net/ (GPL)

I'm sure there are others, but I think a self-sustaining calendar that
could integrate with the Fedora Account System (FAS) and make it so
that people can create events that could get pushed to a central
calendar which others might subscribe.  Something like this would be
awesome and I'd be happy to help you get it started.  Maybe one of the
above programs can meet our needs, or maybe we need to look into
something else.

Cheers,

Clint

Change request: make ping and traceroute tools work from Zabbix dashboard

2009-02-05 Thread Jeffrey Ollie
The ping and traceroute tools in the Zabbix dashboard do not work
because the web front end does not know how to connect to the Zabbix
server to initiate the commands.  The following patch adds that
configuration as well as tweaks a selinux boolean.  The Zabbix web
front end runs on the app servers so this is affected by the change
freeze.  The impact should be minor, reverting should be relatively
easy in case of problems.

Neither would I, but the difference in boot time is fairly dramatic

I'm considering pushing an update to F-9 since v3.5+ is so much faster

Oh, there's a slight issue with the handling of modules.order still for
the binary tries in newer module-init-tools. This might manifest in a
switch of e.g. module used in initrd for storage devices with multiple
modaliases.


So...one question...

We now have binary versions of files like modules.dep, modules.alias
and modules.symbols. These end in .bin and *augment* but do not
replace the textual versions of these files. If we find the binary
files, we are *much* faster at loading modules - boot overhead is e.g.
under one second.

But we need to be able to make changes to these binary files in order to
add ordering support, and also just for the future. Our plan is to
freeze the old text file format (the last change will be the one made
recently in which modules.dep can now have relative paths to save space)
and to fallback to it whenever the binary format changes and modprobe
finds older binary files.

This works fine, but means that, if we upgrade module-init-tools and
there is a binary format change, then the system will be slow booting
before depmod has been re-run again. I'm thinking about just doing a
depmod -a on upgrade in such cases in the future...is there a problem

As per the discussion in #fedora-meeting today,
we're killing off kernel-i686, and just shipping..

* kernel.i586
* kernel-PAE.686

Patch below seems to dtrt.. comments?

Looking at the generated config files, the biggest difference
seems to be that kernel-PAE enables Xen and all it's related
dependancies.

This should prove interesting for GEM, as Intel still haven't resolved

However I'm quite happy for this change to happen, Arjan want to try and
fix this or no GEM/KMS for F11.

  By what? Rewriting gcc?
 
 Only a wee little bit. ;-) Seriously, -pg is eight kinds of wrong, and not
 even what you really want anyway.  (If your probe points are at actual
 entry points instead of inside prologues, then you can get the function
 arguments directly, assuming you know which calling convention that
 particular function has, which you don't really but you'd probably be happy
 pretending you did.)

kprobes are quite expensive on the tracer to trace every function.

 
 You do not really need any kind of magical list of spots generated at
 compile time.  You can just do insertion anywhere it works.  (If you're
 willing to fall back to kprobes, it works most anywhere.)  You can keep it
 real primitive like now and just only work where there is exactly NOP5
 sitting there.  Then all you're really asking for at build time is to
 insert a gratuitous NOP5 at entry points.  A compiler tweak for that is a
 pretty simple kludge, not even tied in to actual code generation magic.
 You could probably even do it with crazy-ass asm/.o fiddling as is your wont.

Hacking gcc is not an option. What? Are we to wait till this hack in gcc 
comes out to be able to do this. Not to mention, dynamic ftrace runs on 
x86, powerpc, arm, and I think even superH.  With more archs probably to 
come. Each has their own crap to deal with. The gcc for each arch will 
need to handle the jumps needed for modules, which on other archs is no 
easy task.

Well, that -PAE at the things for users of RPM Fusion a lot harder, 
because they are used to yum install kmod-foo to get the kernel-module 
foo installed; in the future they have to either use kmod-foo or 
kmod-foo-PAE depending on what kernel they use.


Sure, that's not directly a Fedora problem. But it makes things more 
complicated for Fedora users. Which imho not only is the wrong direction 
-- it's wrose for the fame of Fedora, as people don't really 
differentiate between Fedora and add-on repos. That's why I'd be glad if 
we could get rid of the -PAE...

 It is so very counterproductive because my idea was to setup a

 This is an old computer, with a Celeron processor

 Take a look at this, this is the result of sudo groupinstall XFCE:

Openswan: Works, but...

2009-02-05 Thread Roger Grosswiler
Hi, 

According to the homepage of openswan, i configured a server and a
roadwarrior (think this is host-to-host).

Using tcpdump, i see, that traffic between those 2 hosts is encrypted,
if the server is the endpoint.

this server is a transparent proxy. so, if i surf eg. to google via
this server, the traffic seems no longer encrypted to me. (no
esp-packets mentionned in tcpdump).

Even my mailserver is not on the same machine, so this traffic isn't
encrypted either.

all i want is to make sure, that ALL traffic that comes from any client
and passes through my server is encrypted, as connections are wireless.

btw.  if i tell firefox to use the proxy-server instead of using
transparent proxying, internet traffic gets encrypted too. but i would
like to use transparent proxying.

how can i do this? or is it encrypted, and by any reason i don't see it
like this?

Thx,
Roger

 Rawhide went through 2.6.28. 2.6.29 probably won't be released for about
 two months yet.

 If you want to test stuff, the kernels are in koji. For F10 the 2.6.28
 kernels should be pretty likely to work for you. I wouldn't recommend
 the one for F9 though as builds after that have been for 2.6.27 which

 I just used the ones from update, and only one problem or three.

 Flicker on viewing avi files, if compiz is executing.

 Cannot do a switch user, or from the command line, issue an init 3.

fwiw, I 'yum remove'd the new packages and reinstalled the old ones,
and all flickering has gone away.

When i had installed the 8.573-1.9.1.fc10 version, they were in
updates-testing. however now I see them in updates. Good thing they
still have the older version still available there. This looks like an
ATI issue, as my XP install also has this flickering with the latest

 is a way to test email by sendmail command lines. Another thing is that
 how to configure sendmail because i'm just a regular customer of an
 internet provider. I know the provider's mail server parameters. Can
 sendmail be used with these parameters?

My ISP is called eircom.net .
So I uncommented and edited the line
define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.eircom.net')dnl
in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc ,
and followed the instructions at the head of this file
to give the command make -C /etc/mail.

I think that is all one normally needs to do.
I certainly do not want to read a book about sendmail.

The file /var/log/maillog gives information (too much information)
about what happens to each mail message.

Make sure you have sendmail-cf installed, as well as sendmail.

Also restart sendmail.

 I certainly do not want to read a book about sendmail.

No sense of fun, some people :-)  However be carefull not to end up
running an open mail relay.

Help for Samba configuration

2009-02-05 Thread antonio montagnani
I am trying to set-up my Samba shared folders on one of my box (but I 
have similar troubles on other boxes)
When I open Resources/Network/Windows Network I see the boxes shared on 
my network, but when I try to open a shared folder on my computer...
well I click on the required computer icon, I get a window with shared 
folder, but when I click on one of them I get the message that folder 
cannot be mounted!!!


I checked all my configuration files, but it seems o.k.
So when I click on one folder icon I get either a password request 
window or a message that I cannot mount folder.

Can I ask some help??

Samba: question I am ashamed to ask

2009-02-05 Thread Timothy Murphy

I am running samba on a Linux (actually Centos-5.2) server
on my little home network, which has 5 Fedora machines
and 1 or 2 Windows XP (Home) desktops.

My question is: can I, or even should I,
add a stanza, say [windows], to /etc/samba/smb.conf
to give information about the Windows client?
If I did this, would it enable me to access files on the Windows machine
from my Linux laptop?
Could some kind soul give an example of such a stanza,
if indeed there is such a thing.

I'm puzzled about this, because I googled for smb.conf examples
and looked at quite a few, but none of them had an entry
for a Windows share, even though most of them had Windows clients.

I might mention that I installed samba 
to back up my Windows machine(s) with BackupPC.
This is working perfectly, backing up both Fedora and Windows machines.
Also I can see my Linux shares on the Windows machine.
But as I said, I cannot see the Windows share on my Linux machines.

All suggestions and explanations gratefully received.

 Interesting. I'll take another look tomorrow morning. Perhaps there is a

OK, now I am really confused. 

I went to rpmfind 
(http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/updates/9/x86_64/dhclient-4.0.0-22.fc9.x86_64.html)
 to get the dhcp src rpm and downloaded it. It comes from 
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/9/SRPMS.newkey/dhcp-4.0.0-22.fc9.src.rpm

When I ran rpm -qp on the downloaded rpm I get this:

$ rpm -qp dhcp-4.0.0-22.fc9.src.rpm
dhcp-4.0.0-22.fc9.ppc

ppc?!!? Is this the correct rpm?

I installed the rpm anyway
# rpm -iv dhcp-4.0.0-22.fc9.src.rpm

which created, amongst other things /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/dhcp-4.0.0.tar.gz
I unpacked:
# gunzip -cd dhcp-4.0.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
which created a /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/dhcp-4.0.0 directory. I cd'd to the 
directory and ran
# ./configure
which ran with no errors
# grep -R GNU_SOURCE *
#

No mention of GNU_SOURCE anywhere.
I'd be interested to see if anyone can reproduce these results.

Mamoru, how did you get that info you posted from the src rpm?

No problem. Here ppc means the architecture where this srpm was
created. However srpm is arch-independent regardless of on what platform
the srpm were created.


I installed the rpm anyway
# rpm -iv dhcp-4.0.0-22.fc9.src.rpm

directory and ran
# ./configure


In that way you are not using the srpm you downloaded anymore. 
You are just unpacking the tarball (with no patched) and are 
compiling vanilla source by yourself.


Perhaps what you want to do is $ rpmbuild -bc dhcp.spec after
$ rpm -ivh dhcp-X.src.rpm . Please try
$ man rpmbuild

Hi Daniel.

I'm only referencing playing DVD's here, but vlc plays them ok on F9, 
as does Mplayer, and I've just got Kaffeine playing them as well, 
using the gstreamer engine.


I'm using an Asus M2N-X Plus mobo with an ati pci-express graphics 
card. Fedora 9 has chosen to use the radeon driver for this card, but 
other distros on this same machine have chosen different graphics 
drivers. For example, the Archlinux install, which has the same vlc 
version as Fedora 9 is using the ati driver, and vlc works ok on that.


I also have Ubuntu, and Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10 installs on the same 
machine. they are using the qt version of vlc (0.9.4 Grishenko), and 
both these distros have installed using the vesa graphics driver. Vlc 
will not play dvd's. I get the menu, and about a half second of sound 
and video, then the playback stops. I won't ramble on, but think this 
may have something to do with the vesa graphics driver on the 
Ubuntu/Kubuntu Intrepid installs, and the vlc qt version.


I removed vlc from the Kubuntu Intrepid install, and installed the 
older version of vlc from the Kubuntu hardy repo, which has vlc 
0.8.6a janus (wxWidgets Interface). That version of vlc works fine on 
Kubuntu Intrepid, with the vesa graphics driver.


On my Kubuntu/Ubuntu Intrepid installs, Totem, Ogle, Kaffeine, and 
Xine play dvd's ok. It's just a problem with the qt version of vlc 
(0.9.4 Grishenko).


I've just rebooted to F8 on the same machine. Vlc is version 0.8.7 
Janus (wxWidgets interface), and plays dvd's ok, and that is using 
the vesa graphics driver.


Personally, I'd try downloading, and installing the F8 version of vlc 
from the rpmfusion repo, if it's still available, as F8 is now no 
longer supported.


Just some observations from problems I've had with vlc on 
Ubuntu/Kubuntu Intrepid, using the qt version of vlc, and perhaps 
related to the graphics card driver being used.


Sorry if this is a bit of a ramble, but I've already posted my 
problem to 3 mailing lists, including videolan, but with no replies. 
I've fixed my vlc problem on Ubuntu/Kubuntu Intrepid, by using an 
earlier version of vlc. The same may work for you.


All the best.

nigel.

  

You could try :

vlc --reset-config

vlc --reset-config, is exactly it!

Thanks!
Dan

 2009/2/5 antonio montagnani antonio.montagn...@alice.it:
 I am trying to set-up my Samba shared folders on one of my box (but I have
 similar troubles on other boxes)
 When I open Resources/Network/Windows Network I see the boxes shared on my
 network, but when I try to open a shared folder on my computer...
 well I click on the required computer icon, I get a window with shared
 folder, but when I click on one of them I get the message that folder cannot
 be mounted!!!

 I checked all my configuration files, but it seems o.k.
 So when I click on one folder icon I get either a password request window or
 a message that I cannot mount folder.
 Can I ask some help??

Re: Samba: question I am ashamed to ask

2009-02-05 Thread Mikkel L. Ellertson
Timothy Murphy wrote:
 I am running samba on a Linux (actually Centos-5.2) server
 on my little home network, which has 5 Fedora machines
 and 1 or 2 Windows XP (Home) desktops.
 
 My question is: can I, or even should I,
 add a stanza, say [windows], to /etc/samba/smb.conf
 to give information about the Windows client?
 If I did this, would it enable me to access files on the Windows machine
 from my Linux laptop?
 Could some kind soul give an example of such a stanza,
 if indeed there is such a thing.
 
The Samba server is only for sharing files on the computer it is
running on. (There are exceptions, but they are not important here.)
The Windows shares have to be configured on the Windows machine that
is sharing them. If they are configured with the same workgroup,
they will show up as an additional host when scanning the workgroup.
If the workgroup name is different, they will show up as a different
workgroup that you can scan.

For this to work, the firewall settings on the Windows machine must
be configured to let file sharing through. The default settings do
not allow it.

There are a couple of ways to handle mounting the Windows shares. It
depends on what you are after, and if the Windows machines are
expected to be runing when ever the Linux machine is running. Do you
want the Windows share accessible to all users, a specific group of
users, or do you want each user to be able to mount the share when
they are logged in to the desktop? I suspect the later. In that
case, you would want to use the network browser for your desktop.
For Gnome it is Places -- Network.

Re: XFCE depends on GNOME, why?

Javier Perez wrote:

Hi
I tried to install a pure XFCE system but I can't
It looks like in order to install XFCE, I have to install also GNOME.
It is so very counterproductive because my idea was to setup a 
small,efficient system specifically without GNOME or KDE's overhead.

This is an old computer, with a Celeron processor

Take a look at this, this is the result of sudo groupinstall XFCE:


A group in Fedora includes optional dependencies and the Xfce group 
includes things like GDM and NetworkManager-gnome which will pull in 
other dependencies. This won't necessary impact anything more than disk 
space. If you want a pure Xfce setup, you can cherry pick individual 
packages and do something like


# yum install Thunar Terminal xfce4-panel thunar-archive-plugin 
thunar-volman xfdesktop xfce-utils xfce4-mailwatch-plugin xfce4-mixer


Note that this will still pull things like GTK2 simply because GNOME and 
Xfce use the same library.

Using ext2 on SSD drive

I am installing FC10 on an ASUS with an SSD drive right now to see how 
it behaves.


I know that with ext2 you are suppose to clean it up every so often, but 
I can't find my notes as to the command.


What is the command and how is this done while the system is 'in use', 
or is there some way to do it occationally during boot time?

No online fsck available for ext2 but see the man pages for fstab, 
e2fsck and tune2fs. With tune2fs you can set the maximal mount count / 
check interval that is applied for file system checks at boot time for 
all file systems with a non-zero value in the 6th column (fs_passno).

The command is e2fsck, but you should use it on an unmounted file
system. When you format an ext2 file system, it is normally set to
automatically run a file system check every X mounts. This can be
changes with tune2fs.

 AFAIK that is a proprietary real media format. You would need

  AFAIK that is a proprietary real media format. You would need

  RealPlayer doesn't have any 64 bit packages.
 

 Look at mplayer.  It may work.

 No problem with mplayer,problem with totem.It is playing the sound of the

 Can anyone give the solution?

Re: Using ext2 on SSD drive

For me it's been quite satisfactory.

Quick suggestions (if you are of the GNOME persuasion) include using
openbox instead of metacity and epiphany instead of firefox. They are
much lighter and faster. Also, put temp directories in ram, which I
think I've already mentioned to you.

 I know that with ext2 you are suppose to clean it up every so often, but I
 can't find my notes as to the command.

 What is the command and how is this done while the system is 'in use', or is
 there some way to do it occationally during boot time?

Quite separate from your query about ext2 maintenance, you should keep
in mind the gotcha I found with ext2, here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-January/msg00198.html

My yucky workaround is to change the filesystem in my fstab back to
ext3 before each kernel update and change it back to ext2 afterword.

Re: F10 install - RAID - nightmare (Solved)

2009-02-05 Thread Robin Laing

Robin Laing wrote:

Hello,

The system is at home and so are all my notes.

Since I first started using RAID arrays, this is the first time I have 
had problems with an install.  I have been fighting this for over a 
week.  The machine was running F7 with RAID arrays.


I first tried to install F10 using a DVD that was checked by both 
sha1sum and disk check on install including the RAID array.


The install is working without the RAID array.

After installing on the non-RAID drive, I started going through the 
install to get the RAID working.


After much reading I found out that due to the problem install, I had to 
zero the Superblocks.  I did this and ensured that there was no 
superblock data with mdadm --examine {partitions}.


Recreated the multiple RAID partitions.

I am using a 1.5T drive partitions into 8 usable partitions.

I created the 8 partitions using mdadm.

I created /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf with mdadm --examine --scan as per the 
man page.


I am providing this in a hope that it will help someone either today or 
in the future.  Someone else success helped me.  After 10 days I can say 
I have a working F10 installation.  Hey, 10 for 10.  :)


To solve the issue I did a full re-install without the RAID array.  I 
have read reports about anaconda having issues with RAID arrays.  After 
making sure that the install was working well I started playing with the 
RAID.


With no /etc/mdadm.conf, the system scanned and created inactive arrays.

md_d9 : inactive sdc9[0](S)

  104864192 blocks

I created a new /etc/mdadm.conf file with the two drives in it like this.
  DEVICE /dev/sdb* /dev/sdc*

I then scanned the drives by using
  mdadm --examine --scan
ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 \

I then ran
  mdadm --examine --scan  /etc/mdadm.conf
as suggested in the mdadm man page.  This added the drives to mdadm.conf

I then ran
  mdadm -As
which found and activated one of the two drives as shown with

unused devices: none

I then ran
  mdadm --stop /dev/md_d{x}

to stop all the inactive RAID devices as shown in the /proc/mdstat file.

I tried a reboot and only one of the two drives were starting.  More 
reading of bug reports and came across a discussion on adding

  auto=md
to each line of the mdadm.conf file for each raid array.

Old

New

UUID=512ebb9b:05c4c817:22ba247c:074b5b12


Now running
  mdadm -As
gives this nice message.

System Time

2009-02-05 Thread Michael Comperchio

I can't decide whats going on here, but

I decided to try XFCE (it is seemingly faster - athlon, 2ghz, 1gig mem) 
but the clock in the panel is 5 hours slow... actually, it's five hours 
fast. The 'clock' command in a terminal tells me it's 9:05 eastern time, 
the XFCE panel clock says 9:05, but the GNOME panel clock tells me it's 
2:05 (pm). Also, the windows side of the maching tells me it's (-5) 
hours. I don't much care about Gnome, but would like to know how to 
reset my system time to the 'correct' time ( I know, the correct time 
depends on how fast I'm going etc)!


Thanks

You should install kmod-wl-PAE.

And are you sure you still need the proprietary driver? As far as I know,
the b43 driver is getting support for more and more devices.

I originally hoped that my 4310 would be supported, as promised by both netdev

until the new driver was done, now I'm looking for a replacement internal modem 
so my cat can stop playing with the USB device.


So more and more doesn't include older popular choices of laptop makers. :-(

At this point I'd be tempted to suggest trying FC10, at least from a live CD,

  Hi
  I tried to install a pure XFCE system but
 I can't
  It looks like in order to install XFCE, I have to
 install also GNOME.
  It is so very counterproductive because my idea was to
 setup a small,efficient system specifically without GNOME or
 KDE's overhead.
  This is an old computer, with a Celeron processor
  
  Take a look at this, this is the result of sudo
 groupinstall XFCE:
 
 A group in Fedora includes optional dependencies and the
 Xfce group includes things like GDM and NetworkManager-gnome
 which will pull in other dependencies. This won't
 necessary impact anything more than disk space. If you want
 a pure Xfce setup, you can cherry pick
 individual packages and do something like
 
 # yum install Thunar Terminal xfce4-panel
 thunar-archive-plugin thunar-volman xfdesktop xfce-utils
 xfce4-mailwatch-plugin xfce4-mixer
 
 Note that this will still pull things like GTK2 simply
 because GNOME and Xfce use the same library.
 

I have tried this a number of times and over time, gnome elements still get 
pulled in. 

I think part of the problem may be that when a developer (who perhaps uses 
Gnome) builds rpms, he often puts in some unnecessary dependency. To see this, 
note that 

yum erase gnome\*

(see below for my installation) 

will delete things like firefox which should have nothing to do with gnome but 
is mistakenly dependent on these gnome\* rpms, either directly or indirectly. 
It is not clear what anyone can do about it.

I hope Rahul is right when he says that this only takes diskspace, no other 
resources. On the other hand, like xubuntu, I still look forward to a Fedora 
(using XFCE or even better, LXDE, lets say) for low-end systems. Something that 
would have a small footprint, but be almost as functional as a bloated Gnome or 
a KDE or a Windoze machine...This is where Linux's appeal is, the ability to 
have features available for every level, and I would hate for that to go away.

Re: How to set up a DNS server(at Home)

2009-02-05 Thread Seann Clark
Ok, with setting up the domain server, the key thing to consider, is 
this going be able to be queried from the internet? If so, then yes you 
need to register a domain, to avoid confusion and issues. If this is 
just going to be isolated to your local network, and not accessible 
outside of your network, you won't have to register a domain.



I hope that clarifies it a little bit for you

I hate to plug books, but this may be the easiest way to get an
good explanation to a home user of the components on a DNS server.
Check out http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0596100574 Which is the
DNS BIND book, which is a very valuable asset when learning DNS.


In a quick nutshell, the named.ca file contains the IP addresses
and names of the 'root' DNS servers in the world. These are the
'dot' in your .com/.net etc (actually it is the dot AFTER the .com
but that is a little complex to get into) That file helps you find
the DNS server of the domain you are after, starting at the root,
or . and working down to, say if you are looking for
www.google.com, going from the . DNS to the .com DNS to the
google.com DNS.

Simplest way to set up a home DNS, copy the
'localhost.localdomain' file, keep everything down past to the NS
listings (I believe it should be NS  localhost in that line) and
then add in your hostnames and IP's in a format like


host1IN A   10.1.1.1
host2IN A   10.1.1.2
host3IN A   10.1.1.3


Where IN is the most common use that you will find and works well
in this situation (Stands for Internet Name, I believe) and A
stands for the type of record. You can, after you have a few A
entires, add in a CNAME like this


alias  IN CNAME   host1.domain.net



After you are done with this, you need to copy

Firefox has such dependencies. Upstream either include local copies or 
statically builds them and it is less exposed that way but it is still 
there.

Re: Using ext2 on SSD drive

Quite separate from your query about ext2 maintenance, you should keep
in mind the gotcha I found with ext2, here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-January/msg00198.html

My yucky workaround is to change the filesystem in my fstab back to
ext3 before each kernel update and change it back to ext2 afterword.

Have you looked at putting a bug in the zilla about this?
Seems like it could bite anyone trying to build a mostly read file system with 
fedora.

Kevin, thanks for that. I kind of gave up on xen and went to KVM just because it 
was less hassle and I could see issues coming getting xen back in the kernel. I 
just roll KVM machine from the command line for the most part, assuming they are 
not servers. I don't have a good tool to put servers up without some hand work 
to set up the bridging needed to establish a machine which appears to be separate.


I didn't know about xenner, but I'm not sure it actually would help, paravirt 
under a KVM machine is unlikely to be better than just a KVM machine. In any 
case now I see what's happening, and it sounds as if I went the right way.

It's been years since I looked at gEDA. Back then (6-8 years ago)
there was little integration among the tools. Is it still the case? By
the way, I visited the gEDA.org and open collector sites and that's
the impression that I's still getting.

Re: XFCE depends on GNOME, why?

2009-02-05 Thread Globe Trotter
 
  I have tried this a number of times and over time,
 gnome elements still get pulled in.

 Be specific and show the output of the command I have
 given. Xfce does have GNOME elements in it
 depending on what you consider part of GNOME.

Hi,

All I was trying to say was that over time, gnome elements got pulled in, 
despite trying things like this or similar. I started with the XFCE Fedora 8 
Live CD and then stripped it of gnome-related RPMS and over time, and upgrades, 
I still have all those gnome\* rpms which have nothing to do with gnome.


  I think part of the problem may be that when a
 developer (who perhaps uses Gnome) builds rpms, he often
 puts in some unnecessary dependency.

 Can't happen this way. Every package is build under a
 clean chroot. GNOME developers don't build Xfce anyway.

I am not talking about Gnome developers, rather developers of packages, who 
seem to include some gnome dependency sometimes. As an example, the statistical 
package R used to depend on gnome. Now, I have been very involved with R in the 
past, starting from 0.1 and I know for a fact that it predated gnome and has 
nothing to do with gnome. More importantly, now, it suddenly does not again 
depend on anything to do with gnome. It all depends on what it is told to 
depend on when the rpm is built, from my simplified understanding. Sometimes 
this is unnecessary, as in the case of R, but still included in error. I don't 
see this problem completely going away.


 To see this, note that
 
  yum erase gnome\*
 
  (see below for my installation)
  will delete things like firefox which should have
 nothing to do with gnome but is mistakenly dependent on
 these gnome\

 Firefox has such dependencies. Upstream either include
 local copies or statically builds them and it is less
 exposed that way but it is still there.

I use firefox from the days of phoenix, and even contributed to the original 
code. I did not have gnome  in those days. I wonder if it really requires 
gnome, either directly or indirectly.  Similarly for xfce4-xfapplet-plugin, etc.

Sorry. Can't help unless there is a specific complaint. If a specific 
package has unnecessary dependencies or things that can be split up, 
file bug reports.

This can sometimes be split up. Again, you have to be specific to have a 
meaningful conversation.

Yes. Read the description of the plugin. It is a wrapper around GNOME 
applets and yes, package dependencies change over time. So what predates 
which project doesn't make much of a difference to the current state of 
dependencies.

grubby fatal error unable to find a suitable template

2009-02-05 Thread Jack Howarth
   While upgrading a Fedora 8 x86_64 system on a software
RAID-1 mirror, I ran into a problem that prevents rpm from
installing kernels in the grub.conf. The Fedora 10 upgrade
of the Fedora 8 system completed without errors except that
the upgraded boot loader didn't work but just presented the
text...

GRUB

Having seen this before in upgrades on other Fedora system,
I just repeated the upgrade process but selected the third
option to create a new boot loader. This allowed the installed
Fedora 10 to boot without problems.
   However when I did the first yum update, the kernel rpm
installation showed the error...

grubby fatal error unable to find a suitable template

This resulted in no entry being added to grub.conf. When I
compared the grub.conf.rpmsave, it has...

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 ro root=/dev/md1 nodmraid rhgb 
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64.img

whereas the grub.rpm present now shows...

default=0
timeout=0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 ro 
root=UUID=3adeca51-506e-4b51-aea7-c0ca9525ec36 nodmraid
initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64.img

I was able to add an entry for the newly installed kernel and use
/dev/md1 for root and this boots the new kernel fine. Does anyone
know how to eliminate this problem? Where are the grub templates
stored? I am assuming the use of the UUID label is causing the
problem for grubby. I found bugzilla 124246 for this issue but
it doesn't seem to have a solution other than the vague recommendation
to not use the old grub.conf but have a separate template file
(whatever that means). Thanks in advance for any advice as I
am really worried about updating the kernel now.
