Hmm... I don't think it's just your problem. I'm having similar issues.
After the latest update, Emacs refuses to run in X (runs okay in a term
window with "emacs -nw") and Firefox keeps hanging randomly. There
doesn't appear to be any error message at all. If I start Emacs from a
menu pick or a panel button, it displays the "Starting Emacs Text
Editor" application button in the lower panel, but that eventually goes
away and no window appears. If I try to start Emacs from a term window
("emacs"), it just hangs forever. Firefox keeps hanging randomly, too.

"setenforce 0" doesn't seem to help. For whatever reason, "sudo emacs"
works. It's definitely some sort of permission problem. I get no selinux
error that I can see.

Looking in /var/log/secure, the only thing that looks interesting is:

Not sure what to do with that. I have gotten a couple of these messages

Yes. Every release has a different key.

Interesting, though, I got that key off the web site for the alpha, and it's in 
my personal keyring, some time when I want to spend a lot of time on something I 
probably won't use I'll figure out where that key needs to be, since I don't 
have a usable FC11 machine (both installed the alpha but when I do the upgrade 
they hang solid).


Not critical, the newer kernel seems to use my display no better than the old.

It' something else for sure. The notification panel is intact.
NetworkManager is refusing to start and the entries for the ethernet
connection are also gone.

Re-creating them manually so of is not working either. I'm having him
switch it from NetworkManager to the old-style Network service. So far,
no dice...

/var/log/yum.log will record what packages were installed during the last 
update.


You will have to, painstakingly, locate and download the previous version of 
each package, and manually install them using rpm -U --oldpackage

No, I don't really suppose it's worth the effort. I'm quite sure the next 
libX11 or gtk2 update will fix everything.
I noticed my VirtualBox isn't available either. What a nasty little bug. It 
managed to kill 3 entire operating systems via VirtualBox. ;-)

Seeing the other postings about various apps with the same problem, I
haven't done the experiment you asked about. Not sure it's worth the
effort now. What do yo think?

BTW, I noticed that PysolFC (a python app) doesn't work either. neither
does RazorSQL, a commercial Java app for poking at SQL databases.

I guess it's libX11 which is enforcing locking rules
which are violated by the old jpp 1.5.0 you are using.

Try this
  export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
or patch the libmawt.so using sed
or, yes, change the JVM to something less buggy.

Best regards.



Thanks, Roberto. I guess I was googling the wrong things. It certainly 
appears to be the same problem. Strange that it still exists.


I read through that and this page, also:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373

I tried both the export and:

sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.14/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so


Unfortunately, neither fix worked for me. But, at least I have a better 
idea what the problem is.


Something else that I'm confused about is that I used alternatives 
--config java to set the jvm to use gcj but, when I try to start jEdit, 
I see that it's still being run by java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.14 for some reason.


Also, is jPackage of no use for Fedora 10? There don't seem to be any 
repos available for 10. Or, am I missing something important?

kernel  i686   2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10   updates-testing  19 M


Hope it works and does not drop me and I'll be happy again :)

Regards,

Antonio

Strange and distracting.  Just one more thing I have to 'fix' with

FC10 install.


Been a while since I have used KDE but that, IIRC, used to be a
'feature' of KDE. You using KDE?
  

gnome.
Did not mention this. I have never run KDE so I kind of ASSuMEd that a
KDE user would be dealing with kedit, not gedit...


Depends Robert. I know Gnome users that like K3b for example. Why I am
not
sure but they do. I, myself, used Gedit when I first started with
Linux and
that was KDE 2.x.
  

And I do run k3b on my gnome'd laptop.


This was a fresh, formatted install or an update? This sounds like
an old
setting put into an updated install.
  

absolutely fresh.
3 such installs so far, and all have exhibited this behaviour.


Man I wish I could offer more than 'try this'. I do not like 'try this'
advice. Never have. But I did not/do not have this situation. I've never
seen this. Nor Have I heard anyone else mention anything such as this.
A test. Well okay - a 'try this' suggestion.  :-) Don't install K3b on
the
next machine. Nothing KDE. And see if this 'follow the desktop' thing
still
happens. The KDE stuff can be added later.
  


  

I suggest this test because I don't have anything KDE installed and, as I
said, I did not/did not see this. Just a thought. Might be a bug or an
interaction.
  


  

This has happened on all three installs right 'out of the box' No KDE
components installed. At least that I know of.



  

One 'customization' is I deselected Office Apps at the install, knowing
that they have been updated, so I would add them AFTER the install via
yumex. Otherwise with perhaps some disk druid customizations (and then
NOT on one install) this is FC10 out-of-the-box.




Well... ya' got me now. I don't doubt you but I wish that I could see this
happen. I did three Fedora 10 installs a long time ago. When it was first
released. One desktop, mine, and two laptops, son and girlfriend. None of us
had this situation. And we have, me actually, seen to it that the installs
are kept updated. Hmm... does this happen before or after you update the
install from the DVD to 'today'? That I have not done. Fresh install of an
out of date ISO and then updated to 'today'.
  


Well my installs are from my network... Booting from CD disk 1 of 6.

I don't know if it is really 'out of the box' or only after 'yum update'.


At least it is only annoying and not a disaster?  :-p


It is just one more post install step, like moving SSH to port foo. Of 
setting preferences for Nautilus. etc.

That could be, but I don't have openjdk installed. I believe this is 
because I upgraded from 7 -> 10. But that's a lot like my experience 
with jEdit: just a white screen. When I tried starting without ~/.jedit

HDMI sound, Nvidia drivers and the ALSA drivers

[Geoffrey Leach]

There have been a number of questions about this over the last 
months, 
so I thought I'd post a summary of my results.

The short answer: the latest kernel, 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10, provides 
the 1.0.17 ALSA drivers. For the snd_hda_intel driver at least, that's 
not sufficient. The solution is to get the latest (1.0.19) driver from 
the ALSA site, compile and install. You don't need full kernel sources 
to do this; the kernel-devel module is enough.

FWIW, here's the relevant info on the hardware.

Unable to upgrade from FC9 to FC10

[James Allsopp]

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from FC9 to FC10 using yum,
I've checked for any rpmnew packages,
I've removed most orphans.
Switched selinux to disabled/permissive
Updated fedora-release using

rpm -Uhv
ftp://download.fedora.redhat/com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-*noarch.rpm

yum repolist show fedora, livna, rpm fusion and updates all showing
fedora 10

cat /etc/fedora-release shows Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)

but when I hit
yum upgrade

It says the system is up to date, but a uname -r shows it's using
2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers

There is an issue that checking "start at boot" on NM wireless 
connections doesn't seem to work, at least not on any system I've ever 
owned. That's why the applet can't find a network.


Neither waiting nor clicking the "Update" button work for me.  The applet
(gweather-applet) remains stuck in the "Updating..." state.

I am not attempting to start the wireless network at boot, only the
wired ethernet, which obviously does not start if no cable is

Well... ya' got me now. I don't doubt you but I wish that I could see this
happen. I did three Fedora 10 installs a long time ago. When it was first
released. One desktop, mine, and two laptops, son and girlfriend. None of us
had this situation. And we have, me actually, seen to it that the installs
are kept updated. Hmm... does this happen before or after you update the
install from the DVD to 'today'? That I have not done. Fresh install of an
out of date ISO and then updated to 'today'.

At least it is only annoying and not a disaster?  :-p

This works in KDE3, and in KDE4 if you are working in FolderView.  It doesn't 
work in KDE4 if you work in Desktop View.


  

Now for the worst of it all !!
After you open a text file using Kwrite a few times.
Then shutdown KonquerorSU filemanager and have to open it again to edit
a new text file in Kwrite, it's going to give you a error message "Can't
launch Kwrite".
You then will have to restart KDE to get it to Edit text files in SU KDE.

That error message, can't launch Kwite has been a problem in KonquerorSU
for the past KDE releases.
And I have been to lazy to report it to bugzilla.kde.  If anyone knows
how to fix it I would like to know about it.



Usually, typing 'xhost+localhost' in the root konsole will get it working

But this could mean copying the bad disk to the good one.
Remove one of the drive, boot the system, run fsck.
If everything appears to be OK, readd the second drive and let it sync.
If not, poweroff, remove the drive, replug only the second one.
Try fsck on this one and see the result.

If even in this case you have problems, none of the disks is
itself "correct" and the problem is just unresolvable.
Just start copying your data away from this filesystem
and recreate it from scratch.

Hi

I keep a fullish install of F10 on a USB stick (8GB)
In fact I keep an i386 and an X86-64 stick.
I used XFCE but KDE fits in 8GB fine
Is it slower than Hard disk - yes - is it usable - very

I work from the standard F10 distribution and install over NFS
but a full DVD install is fine.
On boot install - enter expert askmethod and later select the USB stick
to install to.

Will it boot after install - yes if the BIOS support USB disk.
Even if it won't boot directly there are usually ways round that.

I remember something similar happened time ago, sed command to
disable XINERAMA...

Have a look at this:

I guess it's libX11 which is enforcing locking rules
which are violated by the old jpp 1.5.0 you are using.

Try this
  export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
or patch the libmawt.so using sed
or, yes, change the JVM to something less buggy.

Oops - sorry, that was Mandriva.  kdesu konqueror does run on the F10 netbook.  
It didn't in early kde4, I'm sure, so this is definitely a step in the right

Linux on a pendrive

[Michael Weiner]

Thought i would throw this out there to the those that have far more
experience than i in this matter. I have a need to create a bootable USB
pendrive, easy enough, thanks to the LiveUSB-Creator tool provided on the
fedoraproject site. But what i need is a desktop linux (KDE preferred) with
some additional RPMs and Applications on it (Scientific based apps like
PyMol) on a pendrive. I have created the pendrive with quite a bit of space
for persistent storage, but wanted some opinions on the best way to move
forward.

I'm really unsure of what to make of that. The security stuff made me 
wonder about SELinux but that's disabled.


I've also tried moving ~/.jedit but encounter the same hangup. Attempts 
to install 4.3pre16 or the older 4.2 result in pretty much the same 
backtrace as above.


While trying to debug this, I also realised that I don't have openJDK 
installed, which seems really odd. I thought that was the default for 
Fedora 10.

Lo and behold, I've updated my running (this machine) from kernel

All of the devices are SATA except the DVD drive.

How can I get /dev/sr0 back?

TIA,

Does the drive showup in the BIOS?  Is your powersupply supplying the 
correct voltages?


I have seen issues with low powersupply voltages.

FC10 - gedit strange behaviour

[Robert Moskowitz]

One a fresh FC10 install, gedit 'moves' to the current workspace.  Even 
if it is behind other windows, as I switch from workspace to workspace, 
gedit moves.  This is very upsetting.


I have found if I go into preferences, exit from preferences, close 
gedit, and reopen gedit, this behavor stops.


Strange and distracting.  Just one more thing I have to 'fix' with each 
FC10 install.

Re: Missing Hardware After Update

[Gene Poole]

I will file the bug report, but in the meantime what about the following:

Where can I find and how can I script the process that works under the old 
kernel?
Once scripted, can I include it in rc.local?
If #1 and #2 can be accomplished, how will this effect future kernel 
upgrades? In other words, the devices are configured at the beginning of 
the boot process, but I want to do it at the end of the boot process?

Or can I use the MAKEDEV command and what should the parameters be?

Thanks,

Keepassx's database is compatible with the Win/Mac version of KeePass
(http://keepass.info/). If need be, you can open your database from
one of those programs.

You could also maybe build a separate keepassx from source. Not sure
if that work too well.

Best guess so far is that it's related to a recent libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10
update that seems to have issues related to XIM.  See:

Firefox addons for later

[Mick M.]

Hi;
  I am putting a bunch of files on a USB stick.

I have the latest firefox rpm and want to include some addons.
The ones I use are addblock-plus, videodownloadhelper, noscript, downthemall 
and WOT.

I know I can just install ff and then manually install them via the web.
But how do I include them on the stick?
I would like to be able to install ff then locally install the addons, before 
going on the net.

thanks

Mick M.

Can you mount the CD on your system? I'm suspicious that either the format on

(wrong modules loaded?) for some reason.



Yes, I can mount as root (/dev/sr0), but not as an user.

It may be a libX11 bug - a similar bug (no GUI) has been reported for
emacs, and only started occuring in the past day or so following a
libX11 update.

Correct.  We're not.  There appear to be at least three "weather"

That's two.

The only weather applet I have is the LCD weather plasma widget.  30

Since you say "plasma" I assume you mean that's a kde thing.  That's 
three.


Looks like 3 applets all with variants of the same problem.  I filed the
bugzilla against the gweather-applet part of the gnome-applets package.
That's what I'm using, and it seems to be the only one that matches the
"--" display reported at the start of this thread.

I use the gnome- version with radar, and while it does catch up at the update 
interval, clicking the UPDATE button worked for me, to catch up if I care before 
it solves the problem for me.


There is an issue that checking "start at boot" on NM wireless connections 
doesn't seem to work, at least not on any system I've ever owned. That's why the 
applet can't find a network.

Actually step-tickers is still used if you check the "set time at boot"

Generally speaking, the best way to get NTP servers these days is to

I have three servers go out and get time, but they are then configured

Slower, but it does work. I installed the 64bit FC10 in a virtual machine on a

However, I would expect KVM to be the most efficient VM, just because of direct

2009/3/10 Jonathan Ryshpan :

Investigating why my computer had suddenly become very s.l.o.w, I

You can't add up the VSZ sizes of processes and arrive at a simple
sum, because you don't have enough information.

That's true, but I'm not sure it's relevant to the question of why the rocesses 
are so huge. I can't think of any justification for a simple mail program being 
1.6GB, no matter how loaded with features it might be. So the answer is probably 
that it either (a) mmapped about half the Internet, or (b) leaks memory badly. 
Those are not mutually exclusive.



Program 1 links to library A and uses shared memory B
  => VSZ1 = SizeOf(1) + SizeOf(A) + SizeOf(B)
Program 2 also links to library A and uses shared memory B
  => VSZ2 = SizeOf(2) + SizeOf(A) + SizeOf(B)

So you'd think that the total memory in use would be VSZ1+VSZ2,
but each library is only in memory once so in actual fact it's only
VSZ1+SizeOf(2).

Fred,
Please do me a favor. Install keepassx and see if it starts. I have vlc and 
have the same problem. I'm wondering if my keepassx problem is the same problem 
that vlc is having ie. no GUI displays.

I found the sourceforge site where I need to file a bug report but I'm thinking 
this really isn't a keepassx (or vlc) bug at all but something else so I 
hesitate.

It looks like something in the detection changes has upset your driver so
you probably can't just tweak something and get it back - although if its
slave only on a cable that configuration is completely invalid for ATA
hardware so that might be part of the cause. Needless to say if it worked
before we've not done anything we know about to stop it working.

File a bug, attach the dmesg of both cases to it and include some
hardware info, and if you could ad me to the cc: of the bug as I'm one of
the ATA disk driver maintainers that would be handy.

You can get Fedora RPMs using yum, and kernel.org unpatched kernels at 
kernel.org. Be *very* aware that the Fedora kernel is not the unpatched 
original, for some kernels that makes a significant difference, for 
others not. Fedora kernels may have features added which are simply not 
in the reference kernel.


As to your problem (rather than your question) you may not have the 
right tool chain installed to do the build.


And as a side note, I just pulled a source rpm off rawhide, for kernel 
2.6.29-rc8-git and it would unpack due to "MD5 errors" in the install. Don't 
know what that's all about, I used rpm2cpio and verified that the cpio data was 
actually correct.


I guess I'll test on 2.6.29 stock, I really want the new video stuff.

   Possible?

You have had a number of good suggestions, but I hope you have management 
support before limiting mail. You should be able to set a mbox size limit on 
incoming mail, that's why you get "mailbox full" messages. That's probably the 
best way to handle it.


I wrote a small tool which will remove some oldest messages from a mbox format 
file, based on either the size of the file or the number of messages. I use it 
to clean out my folders rather than on the mbox itself, but it will work on a 
mbox, it has the locking to to do so, since I wrote it for that reason years 
ago. I would add logging so it's clear that you didn't lose the mail, it was 
deleted because of user inattention.


Of course with the price of disk these days, I have to wonder why space is so 
tight. If this is non-business mail, tell the users to get a gmail account. ;-)

Re: Missing Hardware After Update

[Gene Poole]

Initial Message:

 I'm running Fedora 9 on a custom AMD Phenom Quad-Core with 8GB RAM 
installed, 2-SATA hard drives (Seagate 500GB and Seagate 1TB); HP DVD/CD 
RW Dual Layer with
 Lightscribe.
 Lo and behold, I've updated my running (this machine) from kernel 
2.6.25-14 to kernel 2.6.27.19-78.2.30 (?) and have experienced the 
following:

 1. My dual-layer DVD/RW and CD/RW drive has disappeared (it was 
/dev/sr0)
The only messages I see that appear to be of concern are:

 [r...@jpdsys3 log]# cat messages | grep -i reset | more
 Mar 22 14:46:30 jpdsys3 kernel: ata1: softreset failed (device 
not ready)
 Mar 22 14:46:30 jpdsys3 kernel: ata2: softreset failed (device 
not ready)
 Mar 22 14:53:55 jpdsys3 kernel: ata1: softreset failed (device 
not ready)
 Mar 22 14:53:55 jpdsys3 kernel: ata2: softreset failed (device 
not ready)

 All of the devices are SATA except the DVD drive.



Alan Cox Suggestion:


 First thing - boot the old kernel (hit a key during grub and select 
the
 old one it kept) and make sure it still appears there, then boot the 
new
 kernel again so you are sure it is reproducible and depends on the 
kernel
 which I suspect will be the case.

 
Results:

 During the boot (I've got the inittab set to 3) I noticed that the 
message 'Starting udev' took much longer.
 After the reboot and log on as root, I entered:

 ls -ltr /dev/sr0
 brw-rw 1  root  disk  11,  0  2009-03-24  21:20  /dev/sr0
 mount /dev/sr0  /media/dvdrw
   --message stating that the media was mounted as read only--


I'm now back to my original question, How can I get /dev/sr0 back using my 
updated kernel?

TIA,

Re: Disabling mouse taps on Fedora 10 (solved)

Interesting that "X -help" doesn't say anything about this option.

Interesting that there is no X(1) manpage.
There is no x(1) manpage.

There is an Xserver(1) manpage.  It calls itself XSERVER(1) but that
isn't its name, nor is xserver(1).  Its synopsys says that it is
invoked as "X" (with options).  But it does not say anything about
-configure.

There is an Xorg(1) manpage that is distinct from Xserver(1).  Its
synopsis says that it is invoked as "Xorg".  It does document a
-configure option.

xorg.conf(5) does not mention that "Xorg -configure" might be
interesting.

It turns out that /usr/bin/X is a symlink to /usr/bin/Xorg.  There
does not seem to be an executable file called Xserver

Rather a mess.

Yeah.  "Xorg -help" prints 115 lines to stderr.  If you want to see
them, you need to use a pager.  And do redirection.  Like:
Xorg 2>&1 | less

How do you figure them out?


Well I use a three part approach:
- trial and error, killing the server via ssh from another system
- swearing and screaming "I hate computers"
- use of mind-altering substances such as India Pale Ale

There is no good way, and AFAIK there is no way to get all the legal stanzas 
generated, so you can edit them. They require command line --options to get a 
starting point. The main problem I have is getting a touchpad stanza so I can 
disable pad taps while typing. That's the only thing I have to edit on almost 
every laptop, since the TP is right next to the space bar and gets hit regularly 
if you use your thumb for spaces.

Try disable network or turn it off, is there any freezes?

computer freezes, disks spin, unhappiness abounds

[Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak]

Hi all,

I have a bunch of HP DC7700, DC7800, and DC7900 computers running F10.

The DC7700s are having trouble - they keep freezing up. The hard disk 
seems to go to constant activity, and everything else freezes up. Mouse 
movement works for a while (but clicks are ineffective), but then it too 
freezes up.


The logs provide no useful info, and I can't log in during the freeze.

Has anyone seen anything similar, or have suggestions for debugging?

This started a few weeks ago. The DC7800s and DC7900s are fine, which 
suggests some weird hardware-specific kernel issue with the older DC7700s.

Re: grub question

Bonjour François

I once have written a Grub HOWTO, which you may find useful. It is on

Bonjour,

I have persistent problem at bootup: boot hangs at the beginning for
some "inconsistency" in my /dev/md0 partition.

I installed my f10 on 2 drives with software raid1 partitions end
/dev/md0 is my / partition.

cat /proc/mdstat

md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
  1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU]


following instructions in some RAID howto, I installed grub on the 2
drives sdb and sdc *but* once I made a mistake and instead of typing

grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb (or c, i don't remember)
grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd1)

I replace the first line by:

grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb1 (or c1)

I don't know exactly what happens in this case, but I am wondering if
grug has not installed some files in md0, causing the boot failure for
"inconsistency".


If it is pertinent to think so, I have 2 questions:

1- How to validate this, ie. what are these files and how to "see" them?

2- How to remove them?

Thanks for attention.

F10 VS vlc

[fred smith]

Hi!

I just noticed last night that vlc no longer displays its GUI. It still
plays audio (haven't tried video yet), but I get no control panel from
it anymore. I have to kill it (kill -9) to stop it, and there are no
controls.

As recently as this past weekend it was working fine.

Did perhaps an update install a broken one? Any other ideas?

Thanks!

One of those menus has utilities AND sub-menu "programs" while the other
has ONLY sub-menu "programs".
Wine -> notepad (and others) menu is the applications provided by 
wine-desktop and configured in:


[...@machine ~]$ ls /usr/share/applications/*wine*
/usr/share/applications/fedora-wine.desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-wine-mime-msi.desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-wine-notepad.desktop

/usr/share/applications/fedora-wine-winefile.desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-wine-winemine.desktop
/usr/share/applications/fedora-wine-winhelp.desktop

Wine -> Programs -> submenus is applications in your local .wine install 
and configured in:

[...@machine ~]$ ls  ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs
XenCenter 5.0.desktop

Paravirtualized pv_ops Xen domU (guest) support is included in the default 
kernels; 
"kernel-PAE" for 32bit and "kernel" for 64bit Fedora 10.

Fedora 11 will also ship with PV pv_ops Xen domU support included in the 
default kernels.

There's this bug in F10 which affects 32bit domU installs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470905

Also see this tip if you want to install 32bit F10 domUs:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2009-March/msg00067.html

F11 (when it's out) should also install out of the box as a Xen PV domU.

Also earlier Fedora versions should work as a domU out of the box.

If you're talking about dom0 (host) then Fedora 8 is currently the latest
Fedora release having Xen dom0 capable kernel. 

dom0 support will be added back to Fedora when pv_ops dom0 support is included 
in the
vanilla/mainline Linux kernels (merging should happen for Linux 2.6.30).

Hi

Same/similar problem with konsole

kdebase-4.2.1-2.fc10.x86_64

Error message when run from a terminal

[f...@meon konsole]$ konsole
konsole(3835): Attempt to use QAction "change-profile" with KXMLGUIFactory!
[f...@meon konsole]$ Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)[?1034h

The konsole terminal opens OK in this mode

To get konsole to launch OK from xfce panel by setting it to run in "terminal" 
mode
with konsole --nofork shows the same error

konsole(3978): Attempt to use QAction "change-profile" with KXMLGUIFactory! 
Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)[?1034h

Edited/removed ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile
or the whole of ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole
makes no difference - so suggest that its not the contents of 
~/.kde/share/apps/konsole
causing the problem

scsi disk sdb found after fstab tries to mount it

[Mattias Hellström]

I added a scsi disk to a machine (fedora is 10 installed to sata disk)
but mounting fails.

I boot the machine, I get a mount failure, it tells me to enter root
password or ctrl-d to reboot then (just to taunt me) I get sdb info.

Probably an easy fix, for those who know the subtle details of the
boot sequence.

Hiisi,

I have 2 menu menu items too called Wine, but the one contains 

notepad,

regedit, and some wine* utilities, and the other contains a "programs"
submenu which may be filled with installed windows programs.

One of those menus has utilities AND sub-menu "programs" while the other 
has ONLY sub-menu "programs".

grub question

[François Patte]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Bonjour,

I have persistent problem at bootup: boot hangs at the beginning for
some "inconsistency" in my /dev/md0 partition.

I installed my f10 on 2 drives with software raid1 partitions end
/dev/md0 is my / partition.

cat /proc/mdstat

md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
  1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU]


following instructions in some RAID howto, I installed grub on the 2
drives sdb and sdc *but* once I made a mistake and instead of typing

grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb (or c, i don't remember)
grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd1)

I replace the first line by:

grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb1 (or c1)

I don't know exactly what happens in this case, but I am wondering if
grug has not installed some files in md0, causing the boot failure for
"inconsistency".


If it is pertinent to think so, I have 2 questions:

1- How to validate this, ie. what are these files and how to "see" them?

2- How to remove them?

Thanks for attention.
