Re: Install versus update on kmod-fglrx

You may have been just unlucky to hit a mirror that didn't have both RPMs yet.

When you did it the second time, the mirror you hit had both RPMs and both got installed. Hi Rick, the problem is not related to mirrors or lag. I think the problem is related to circular dependencies, because I downloaded all required packages.

DVI monitor flicker with F10
Yesterday I installed F10 onto a spare disk. I installed over the network with my LCD monitor (Samsung 240T) connected to the DVI output of my onboard graphics card (ATI X1250). As soon as the initial tftp messages had finished and the fedora installer started (with the network manager is configuring eth0 message), the display began flashing on and off. I was using kickstart with vnc on, so I switched off the monitor and let it complete the installation. However booting the installed system has the same result. Everything is stable until the point where plymouth starts (or the alternative text output if rhgb is removed from the boot line), when the display begins flashing again. This continues after the X display is started, using Vesa or Radion (fglrx results in an immediate reboot, but that's another issue). If I switch to the VGA output then the display is stable, but offset to the left by about 40 characters. If I boot back into F8 then everything is stable, so I'm sure it's not a hardware problem. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions how to fix it?

NM with a system wide connection-for Tim and others

If that can be dons , how? It happens, it's done through system settings. The system settings service has plugins which provide system-level configuration to NetworkManager. Each distro has one to convert their (usually read-only) file formats (like ifcfg or /etc/network/interfaces) to NM Connections, but due to the limitations of some of these legacy formats, they might not support all types of connections. There's the 'keyfile' plugin that supports all types of connections and provides both read and writability. On Fedora for the moment we only enable the ifcfg-fedora plugin to provide your normal ifcfg files to NetworkManager, but we don't enable the keyfile plugin yet since there are a few issues to sort out when more than one plugin is enabled. Dan I thought about your answer above and conclude in can be done in F9 but not yet with the keyfile plugin. There is no /etc/network/interfaces in F9 so I am not sure just how one does system wide connections at this time in F9. Could you clarify? Ah :) /etc/network/interfaces is the Ubuntu/Debian equivalent of ifcfg-* files. The keyfile plugin doesn't use them. The keyfile plugin reads files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, which are essentially .ini files. Each section (denoted by [name]) is a Setting, and that setting contains key/value pairs. It's really just a flat text file representation of what's in GConf too. At some point soon I'll make sure the NetworkManager configuration spec is fully up-to-date, which is essentially how a keyfile is made. In the mean time, you can edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and change 'ifcfg-fedora' to 'keyfile', 'killall -TERM nm-system-settings', then in the connection editor create your connection and make sure to check the System connection box before hitting OK. That _should_ ensure that the connection is saved as a system-wide connection and you'll be able to poke around the file too. Let me know if you have any questions.

One historical tidbit I'd like to share with you. Back when the TRex was
tromping around, I worked at Data General during Soul Of A New Machine.
The deal there was that all external variables under AOS had to be
uppercase. The reason for this was because we sometimes needed to access
variables by name at link-time and the CLI (Command Line Interface, a sort
of macro processor) was case insensitive, so all commands caused
everything to be flipped to uppercase, no matter what we wanted. The
result was that all external variables ended up as uppercase, just in
case. :-)

Re: Virtual Box
Mike Cloaked wrote: However the box I wanted to try this on does not have the hardware virtualisation flags that are the first test in the documentation for running KVM. The question I am unclear about is whether KVM can still be used but give very slow performance, or does not having the vmx flag mean you can't use KVM at all? Well, you can use QEMU and it will be extremely slow. I think the qemu-kvm binary will fallback to software QEMU emulation if KVM is not supported. One thing you can use to speed it up a bit in kmod-kqemu which you can found in the RPM Fusion repository, in the Free section (it got GPLed some time ago, so it's in the Free section, but Fedora won't carry it because it's not in the upstream kernel). It's a hack to run some of the code on the native hardware without needing hardware virtualization. That said, I'm not sure whether virt-manager will fire up the correct qemu binary and with the correct options to use kqemu. If you run the regular qemu binary (not qemu-kvm) with no option, it will pick up kqemu. That said, AFAIK kqemu doesn't perform anywhere near as well as KVM, also because kernel code is still emulated entirely in software (there's an experimental -kernel-kqemu option which tries to use kqemu also for kernel-space code, but all I ever got out of that option is VM crashes).

lots of pre-F10 packages in f10
I just noticed that my Fedora 10 X86_64 installation DVD has a fair number of packages labelled fc9 rather than fc10. In fact some are fcearlier. 1 is fc6 8 are fc7 16 are fc8 355 are fc9 2272 are fc10 Why would the packagers not rebuild all packages for a release? Is there not a risk that some of these packages would be built against libraries that have changed? I didn't think that the ABI for fc9 was supported by fc10. It turns out that all fc[678] packages included are noarch. So this is *probably* safe, but not guaranteed. I came across this when I could not boot the Fedora 10 Live CD and found that the problem was in the savage X11 viddeo driver. That driver is an fc9 package. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491488 -- 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

D. Hugh Redelmeier wrote: Why would the packagers not rebuild all packages for a release? Because there was no mass rebuild for Fedora 10, it was not needed. I didn't think that the ABI for fc9 was supported by fc10. glibc and several other libraries are backwards-compatible. For the ones which aren't, the soname has been bumped and so packages built against the old version have been detected and rebuilt. It turns out that all fc[678] packages included are noarch. This is because there was a mass rebuild for Fedora 9, but noarch packages were excluded because the mass rebuild was for GCC improvements which didn't affect noarch packages at all. For Fedora 11, there was a global mass rebuild of all packages (including noarch ones) for new RPM features, so Fedora 11 should be shipping with only packages built for Fedora 11. (But at the moment there are still some packages which failed to rebuild and so a few old builds are still included.)

One historical tidbit I'd like to share with you. Back when the TRex was
tromping around, I worked at Data General during Soul Of A New Machine.
The deal there was that all external variables under AOS had to be
uppercase. The reason for this was because we sometimes needed to access
variables by name at link-time and the CLI (Command Line Interface, a sort
of macro processor) was case insensitive, so all commands caused
everything to be flipped to uppercase, no matter what we wanted. The
result was that all external variables ended up as uppercase, just in
case. :-)

Well, they do mean slightly different things.

uniq discards repeated identical lines. 1 foo and 1 foo are
identical, but not 1 bah. (And uniq requires sorted input; the
repeated lines must be adjacent in the input.)
It is often correct to replace sort -n | uniq with sort -un, but I was
clearly wrong to do so here.
What I do in my code, is to create a copy of the sorted
and uniq'd original file to a temp file, and then append
new data to the temp file, then sorted and uniq the temp
file back into the original file. The result was a file that
ended up much smaller than the original file!
Yah, see discussion above.
Cheers,

Bluetooth push from phone doesn't work
In the bluetooth applet, I have visibility setting at always visible. Fedora sees my phone, and I can pair with it. After pairing, I can use Browse files on the device to pull files from the phone. However, if I try to send a file from my phone, the phone complains that it does not see any bluetooth devices. Fedora has no problem seeing my phone, but the phone does not see my laptop. Again, Fedora's bluetooth applet shows that visibility is set to always visible, yet the phone doesn't see it. It spins its wheel, for a minute, looking for Bluetooth devices to send a file to, then complains that it didn't find any. pgptTU2FWZnPt.pgp Description: PGP signature -- 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: Maple on Fedora
| From: Hiisi very-c...@rambler.ru | Maple is not open source (free). It was main argument for me to choose another | symbolic arithmetic program - maxima ( maxima.sourceforge.net ). It's | brilliant. My daughter bought Mathmatica for a project perhaps five years ago. She ran it on RHL9 or something like it. Anyway, she would have to relicence it to move it to a newer distro release or machine so she still runs it on the same ancient machine. If she had bought it for Windows XP, it would have had a much longer lifetime. Lesson: proprietary licensing models work even worse on open platforms because open platform have a tradition of binary obsolescence. Perhaps Maplesoft has a better upgrade model than Wolfram. The only symbolic algebra package I ever bought was muMATH for the z80: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MuMATH I never got it to work due to its kind of copy protection. There's a theme here. PARI/GP worked well for my modest needs but it would not work for yours. -- 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

Getting hard numbers on the number of Centos installs the same way Fedora is could really help raise the level of awareness of how pervasise Cento is is out in the wild.

The main problem with Data::Dumper (one of my all-time favorite modules)
is that you have to use 'eval()' to deserialize the data you've dumped.
This is great if you can trust the data you're evaling, but horrible if
you can't. A good alternative is Storable.pm. It can safely thaw your
frozen data. But if you want to read/edit the frozen data, you're out of
luck, because Storable uses a binary format. Even Data::Dumper's output
can be a little cumbersome for larger data objects. Enter Data::Denter.
Data::Denter is yet another Perl data serializer/deserializer. It formats
nested data structures in an indented fashion. It is optimized for human
readability/editability, safe deserialization, and (eventually) speed.
