I talked with Steven M. Parrish a few weeks ago and he said: "My opinion is to leave F9/F10 with the 0.3.x family and only upgrade if/when all the translations are done or if a new feature in the 0.4.x family is needed." Which I agreed with. Most of the new strings in PK 0.4 have now been translated, and so if you need the 0.4.x features, it might be a good time to upgrade. My only slight worry is the fact that the codec installer interface has changed slightly, so we'll need a newer build of gnome-packagekit, which depends on a newer GTK. It might be best to create a PackageKit franken-package with the same interfaces as F10 (quite easy with git), and still get all the daemon and backend improvements of 0.4.x.

I don't believe it has any changes in that area. The windows world way of trying to sort a problem by randomly swapping versions of components until it runs is probably the wrong way to solve this one. If your CD drive is running slowly check your kernel configuration is correct and you have the correct libata drivers enabled. Check the boot messages (dmesg) and see what modes are being selected and which driver used. If that doesn't solve the problem then following up here further with some actual detail (controller type, cd type, section of boot messages etc) has a better chance of making progress.

I don't think you can match only when you hit three lines in succession because sed is supposed to operate on one line at a time, which is what I think you are asking for. If all you want to do is comment out each of those lines and add some new ones, you could try the quick and dirty way: $ cat testfile server 10.33.45.3 server ldap.example.com server orion $ cat testfile | sed -e 's/^server 10.33.45.3$/# server 10.33.45.3/g' -e 's/^server ldap.example.com$/# server ldap.example.com/g' -e 's/^server orion$/# server orion\n\nserver fire.example.com\nserver earth.example.com\nserver space.example.com/g' # server 10.33.45.3 # server ldap.example.com # server orion server fire.example.com server earth.example.com server space.example.com But if your lines are out of order, then you might end up with something like this: $ cat testfile2 server 10.33.45.3 server orion server ldap.example.com $ cat testfile2 | sed -e 's/^server 10.33.45.3$/# server 10.33.45.3/g' -e 's/^server ldap.example.com$/# server ldap.example.com/g' -e 's/^server orion$/# server orion\n\nserver fire.example.com\nserver earth.example.com\nserver space.example.com/g' # server 10.33.45.3 # server orion server fire.example.com server earth.example.com server space.example.com # server ldap.example.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

Which contradicts > the first rule. Something's been badly set up, here. Hi Tim, I just wanted to clarify that third rule for you. Nothing has been "badly set up". The real problem is that "service iptables status" does not tell you the "whole" story, it's equivalent to "iptables -L". Instead, the OP should use the command "iptables -vL". The -v turns the output to verbose and will display a pair of additional columns, the incoming and outgoing interface. I assume (admittedly I could be bitten on this), since the above seems rather "default", that the missing columns will identify that the incoming interface is set to "lo" or loopback on that third rule. So the third rule is allowing all inbound traffic from other "local processes", not "remote". It is one of the default rules when one first Enables the firewall using the system-config tools.

Re: CPU frequency scaling problems in F10
I fixed this, so in case anybody else runs into a similar problem, here you go: As I understand it, a kernel ACPI facility called "PPC", related to how processors express their capabilities to the OS, is faulty, or the machine BIOS is faulty. Either way, this PPC facility is incorrectly warning the CPU Frequency scaling facility that the CPU is running too fast, which causes the scaling facility to slow down unnecessarily. This requires a kernel or BIOS update to fix, but there is a decent workaround: Set the 'processor' module parameter called 'ignore_ppc' from the default '0' value to '1'. At runtime, you can set it via the R/W SysFS node '/sys/module/processor/parameters/ignore_ppc'. At boot time, use the option 'processor.ignore_ppc=1'--I added this to 'grub.conf'. See http://kerneltrap.org/index.php?q=mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/5/23/1922554/threadfor more information.

Q: How to move filesystems (including root and boot) from one drive to another
I recently decided that my build server was running too slow (disk bound) and went out and bought a 3ware 9650SE controller and disks. Got the array configured as a single RAID 5 logical unit (yes, I know, RAID 5 has slow writes...) and ran fdisk on the unit to create partitions. I formatted the partitions... I mounted each of the partitions and did the following: # cd /old-fs-mnt-point # find . -depth -mount -print0 | cpio --null -pdv /new-fs-mnt-point then I ran: # mkswap ... # hal-device | less to get the UUID's. I edited the new /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab and rebooted. Oops. Didn't quite work. Needed to change the BIOS drive assignment order so that the array was now /dev/sda. Rebooted. System hung: forgot to install the boot blocks. Hmmm... Tried to run "install-grub /dev/sda" from the Live CD, but that didn't work. Something about not being able to figure out the BIOS drive number... don't understand why that's relevant, but that's a different story... So I reran the installer, using a small partition that I had left for whatever... and it wrote the boot blocks and MBR. Editted /boot/grub/grub.conf to change back the default to what I wanted... and rebooted. Now the system hangs at: Red Hat nash version 6.0.52 starting Unable to access resume device (/dev/sda3) mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: No such file or directory setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Mount failed for selinuxfs: on /selinux: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory This is FC9 (updated) x86_64 on a Phenom/NVidia MB. What have I forgotten? Moving filesystems used to be a lot easier (these are plain ol' ext3 filesystems... I'm not using LVM)... and I thought the whole UUID support was to simplify moving drives around, etc. Doesn't seem to be the case. (Ah, for the days when just about everything that caused a booting system to hang was pretty much self-evident and transparent...) There's a certain amount of tweaking I've done of the configuration, the rpm's I've installed, accounts created, kernel variables that I tune... it's kind of painful to have to do a reinstall from scratch. Also, I wanted to peek inside the initrd.*.img files and see if there was anything in there choking up... but I couldn't figure out how to mount them as loopback filesystems. Any revelation of these mysteries appreciated. -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

Sleep to RAM is failing on my Thinkpad T43.

Perhaps try a dry run with -n -v 25000 is a small number for the total number of files and dirs. The number of inodes must permit accessing the full disk at some point. I know that XFS will add inodes if it needs them but I do not know about ext3. Still it could be possible on a small enough device. I see on this box: $ df -i | egrep File\|boot FilesystemInodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda1 50200 41 501591% /boot $ df -h | egrep File\|boot FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 190M 22M 159M 12% /boot Since I have discarded USB keys bigger than this I wonder if 25000 is sane and you are hitting some internal sanity check.

If eth0 is the interesting device and the driver does not support mii then the "not supported" parts is the final answer. It also seems that you have eth1 configured. The driver is not live/connected (no link). Link will go true when a cable is connected... thus the comments about no cable by other posters. So: What device is under your 'eth' devices. New hardware will not have mii calls in their drivers Tricks like lspci can help. As a 'user' I see: $ mii-tool SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not permitted .

can't open .docx files using OO2.3 in F7
the subject line says it. I downloaded the current version fro Linux from OO.org and get a mass of rmps with dependencies. Suggestions? If I could open this file (and others like it) I'd keep the version.

That sounds rather like ignore the problem rather than fix the problem (move the detection threshold, or correct the temperature monitor scaling so it provides accurate results). -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Re: Q: How to move filesystems (including root and boot) from one drive to another

I'm not using LVM)... and I thought the whole UUID > support was to simplify moving drives around, etc. To a running system that can read the UUIDs, it does. But for things still using device names, such as the GRUB bootloader, you're still stuck with device names, names that can reposition depending on how the computer boots (from a hard drive, from a different hard drive, from a CD, from a USB drive, etc.). On some systems, if you boot from a different drive, it's treated as drive zero and the rest are renumbered around it. On other systems, drives maintain the same numbers, no matter which one you boot from. Once one of the variable systems has managed to boot, you should be fine, as it doesn't matter which drive is connected where. Now, if GRUB could be made to read UUIDs, then the problem you're encountering would be solved. You mentioned installing a new raid. Have you run the system from one before? There are peculiarities to booting a system that has a raid. You might want to ask the list about that, specifically (in the subject line), so you get the attention of those familiar with raid issues. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Lost Files
I screwed up and now I am in a bad spot. I hope someone can help me. I am pretty new to Linux. I am just taking my first course and setup a laptop with Fedora Core 10 and Windows Vista dual booting. Because of so many bugs and my lack of expertise my wife wanted me to move all of her OpenOffice.org files from the Linux operating system to Vista. So I thought I could just move everything from her home directory to the /media/disk directory and all would be good. Well, from the command prompt I created a folder in /media/disk and moved everything there. Then I booted into Vista and the folder wasn't there. I thought Windows maybe can't read the directory created by Linux so I went back to Linux and to my surprise it was missing from there too! Now it's nowhere to be found and I'm afraid everything she had is lost. Does anyone know of a way I can retrieve those files?
