No, the kernel packages depend on kernel-firmware, and the kernel package itself contains non-Free firmware and microcode. Besides, both kernel and kernel-firmware contain Free Software too, which you presumably wouldn't want to remove. Your best bet to avoid non-Free Software from Fedora is probably to resort to Freed-ora Linux-libre builds, available from http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/, and to exclude *-firmware and microcode_ctl from the Fedora repositories. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighterhttp://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer -- 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

I have been somewhat determined to make it work since I don't see near as much evidence of the gored ox with f10, and in truth, nearly everything does work, except the sound effects for kde, they sound like they are coming from a set of headphones, in the next room, not this one. With 3 audio systems installed, the usual on a high priced asus mainboard, and an audigy2(not the stripped 'live' model) and apparently it has found an audio system on the HD-2400 Pro video card too, I suppose kde's output is miss- directed somehow. But, I removed the module build for all the others except for the audigy2 thinking that would force everything to use the audigy2. No effect other than a constant nag from kde asking if I want it to forget the other stuff, and I click yes & check the don't nag me again box. But it does, everytime I startx.

Adding Partitions
Hi there. I've been reading through various docs but getting a bit lost - figure this must be fairly easy to explain ;) On my machine (Dell R710 Poweredge) I have 6 SAS drives running RAID5 via Perc 6/I controller. To get Fedora 10 to install, I had to shrink the initial partition down so I thought I'd install with just this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 10079084 1354216 8212868 15% / /dev/sda1 198337 19162168935 11% /boot tmpfs 4149532 0 4149532 0% /dev/shm Then I'll take the remaining 4.8TB or so and mount them after installing. The install went fine now with the smaller partition to boot with.. So, having not run Fedora for a bit, I thought I'd fire up FDISK but it tells me: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. So I fire up parted and create a partition (weird that it only supports ext2 vs ext3). That part seems to go fine and now I need to add that partition to /etc/fstab but now I get confused: UUID=8e37b3d8-a52f-4620-ad58-1ae79abd8b50 / ext3 defaults1 1 UUID=74dfbed0-e91c-4d95-b09c-0b8eb9d96543 /boot ext3 defaults1 2 tmpfs /dev/shmtmpfs defaults0 0 devpts /dev/ptsdevpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /syssysfs defaults0 0 proc/proc procdefaults0 0 UUID=905ac254-05fb-4ca2-856d-01e05ee4a7d2 swapswap defaults0 0 I've never seen this UUID stuff before - how do I add my new partition to fstab? I've been reading that UUID is related to the GPT but is there a way for me to add this partition? Also, what is the maximum partition size under Core 10?

David: > My (differing) interpretation of the above is that he is reporting > success at reaching text login in f10. But like much of what he > writes, it is hard to be sure what he is actually saying. Craig: it doesn't make sense that he can't boot from his F10 installation directly but chainload to his FC5 installation which gives him a boot menu that boots his F10 installation. That almost begs to get the full copies of both /boot/grub/grub.conf and compare them. == jbyers: sorry i wasnt clearer: 1) yes, I can get a root login to level 3 to do this I had to boot back into fc5 (via the chainloader stanza in the f10 grub.conf) mount the f10 partition, and use emacs to put in "3" end of kernel line in f10 grub.conf. Then on rebooting, i get to f10 level 3 console login. 2) so now that i can get that root login, what can i do with it? This f10 install was done using the minimum default choices so i dont even know what text editors available. 3)let me try to correct above Craig: it doesn't make sense that he can't boot from his F10 installation directly jbyers: i can to level 3, see 1) Craig: but chainload to his FC5 installation jbyers: this is correct Craig: which gives him a boot menu that boots his F10 installation. jbyers: wrong, I am no longer using fc5 to boot into f10, that was some time ago and attempts there often hit " Error2 Bad file or directory" which error I have never seen since using f10 in control of grub. That Error2 I also found googling a similar case of Centos,f9 playing roles of my fc5,f10. There the conclusion was that the older grub in centos, somehow couldnt mount f9... I concluded that if Centos,f9 couldnt play ball then I was wasting my time trying fc5,f10 so, to repeat, I only use fc5 to enable editing f10 grub.conf if I cant do the editing within f10. thanks much, David and Craig for ongoing response Jack -- 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

Everyone has to decide what works best for their situation and it's clear that different people have different needs. Fedora clearly intends to be a 'leading edge' distribution and that does indeed mean frequent upgrades to kernels, gcc, and other base packages that do not necessarily lend themselves to simplified updates. I gather that if you are rolling your own - i.e. an LFS type installation you aren't all that eager to update gcc but hey, it's all good. Some people just upgrade Fedora releases via yum or preupgrade which does update the entirety of the installed packages and has been relatively easy for those who have enough familiarity with Linux but clearly not for the average user. I would agree with the point that where long term maintenance and stability is desired, I use RHEL or CentOS rather than Fedora but my desktop needs/wants/desires the leading edge.

The desktop files used to populate the menus should have the proper application name in the right place, a terse description in the right place, and more details in the right place.

But I have never tried to use the private key that was tied to a command on the other machine with scp, so I do not know if scp will work with a key that is only allowed to run one program on the remote machine. (You can not "login" in using that key.) What I was thinking of was: scp file to remote machine ssh to remote machine witch triggers a command on the remote machine. From the sshd man page: command="command" Specifies that the command is executed whenever this key is used for authentication. The command supplied by the user (if any) is ignored. The command is run on a pty if the client requests a pty; otherwise it is run without a tty. If an 8-bit clean channel is required, one must not request a pty or should specify no-pty. A quote may be included in the command by quoting it with a backslash. This option might be useful to restrict certain public keys to perform just a specific operation. An example might be a key that permits remote backups but nothing else. Note that the client may specify TCP and/or X11 forwarding unless they are explicitly prohibited. The command originally supplied by the client is available in the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable. Note that this option applies to shell, command or subsystem execution.

I in fact do run Fedora on a number of machines, but that number is progressively decrementing. The only time I install Fedora on a box anymore is when a client absolutely requires something that is not available in RHEL/CentOS yet, such as the 'latest and greatest' (which too often is more late than great) web 2.0 fluff. The point remains, despite your arguments, that all of the dependencies could be upgraded together at one time without changing to an entirely new release. The Fedora legacy project is not in any way comparable, because it was attempting to extend the life of old releases with far less resources than were being put into developing the 'latest and greatest'. I can agree with you on only one thing, Fedora is not suitable for (the majority of) my needs, because I run systems that require much more stability and reliability than Fedora can provide and don't have time to waste on distro upgrades and fixing everything they break, often as much or more time that would, as you say, be wasted rebuilding and testing packages upgraded outside the "plan". Funny though, I spend significantly less time upgrading the OS on my RYO Linux box than I have ever had to spend fixing the problems caused by a Fedora release upgrade on any box, and I update it far more frequently than Fedora makes releases. - Paul -- 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

It does seem to me that the usage of diskdruid in anaconda (installer) is necessary just to tell it which partitions to use (i.e. /dev/sda1 for /boot, /dev/sda3? for swap and /dev/sda4 for /) so I don't know that you're getting much value from gparted but suit yourself.

I need to move some file from one directory to other with some exclusions.
Ex: move files from "/data/product/" to "/data/archives/2005" while
the "*.dat" file/dirs stay in the right place.
$mv /data/product/* !(/data/product/*.dat) /data/archives/2005
Try:
find /data/product -name "*.dat" -prune -exec mv \{\} \
/data/archives/2005 \;
You might try using "cp" instead of "mv", just to test it. If it works,
then "find /data/product -name "*.dat" -exec rm -rf \{\} \;" to delete
the files. Note that the target directory MUST exist before you run
the first command.

The disadvantage is that files are copied, not moved, so it will take longer.

While I'm not offering any help on why your expect script is failing you, I would say that if you have a need to ssh into multiple machines to copy config files and restart services, you should look into tools like func and puppet.

[OT] ssh login script - Please Help
Hi
I appreciate this is OT but could someone just give me a little
advice, I've written this script to logon on each server then restart
the ntpd daemon. The problem I have is it only restarts the daemon for
the last server provided in the list, any ideas as to why and how to
fix it?
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set argc [llength $argv]
for {set i 0} {$i<$argc} {incr i} {
puts "arg $i: [lindex $argv $i]"
set var1 [lindex $argv $i]
spawn scp /etc/ntp.conf "r...@$var1:/etc/"
spawn ssh r...@$var1 "/etc/init.d/ntpd restart"
}
###
expect {
-re ".*es.*o.*" {
exp_send "yes\r"
exp_continue
}
-re ".*sword.*" {
exp_send "\r"
}
}
interact
When run I get the following:
./test.expect server1 server2
arg 0: server1
spawn scp /etc/ntp.conf r...@server1:/tmp/
spawn ssh r...@server1 /etc/init.d/ntpd restart
arg 1: server2
spawn scp /etc/ntp.conf r...@server2:/tmp/
spawn ssh r...@server2 /etc/init.d/ntpd restart
r...@server2's password:
Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ]
Starting ntpd: [ OK ]
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

It's very easy to install, but adding it to the Fedora repo will help the users to keep up with the updates. I found some discussions about adding it to the repos, but nothing have happened since then (March 2008). It will be nice to see the omnibook module too ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/omke ).

Re: FC10 and freeNX (solved)
Hello Craig, you can solve your keyboard problem by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the client system i. e. Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 9.04. Add the following block to /etc/X11/xorg.conf: cut (start) Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" EndSection cut (end) If your're using an other keyboard layout than US, you may have to adjust the keyboard "InputDevice" in xorg.conf, too. Add (or uncomment) a block like this: cut (start) # uncomment the following lines to use a # german pc keyboard layout Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch" EndSection cut (end) After editing xorg.conf you have to restart your X-Server. On Ubuntu simply logout out and in. That's it. bye Nephilim -- This is an email sent via The Fedora Community Portal https://fcp.surfsite.org https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=343324&topic_id=67100&forum=10#forumpost343324 If you think, this is spam, please report this to webmas...@fcp.surfsite.org and/or blame ahoff...@chirado.de. -- 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

Preupgrade: Centralized Upgrade
Without having to create a local mirror\repo. Is it possible for preupgrade to pool all Fedora PC's, on a lan. Then download all needed for all boxes, (presto where possible). That way it could be more automated save multiple similar rpms, maybe I mean a server version?

FC4: Kernel Panic - Not Syncing
Hi, I have a server which is running Fedora Core 4. I have updated the kernel to version 2.6.17 because I was getting kernel panic on version 2.6.11. I used yum for update. After the update the server worked fine for months before the problem again started to surface. Now I get a similar Kernel Panic error every few weeks. Kernel panic - not syncing: bad locking I thought that this might be an issue with the kernel so I tried updating it again. Only this time yum doesn't show any new version as available. So what are my options? How do I update the kernel on my server without upgrading the OS itself? I would prefer an RPM update as opposed to a TAR balls update. Please feel free to ask further questions regarding the error message. I will be more than willing to answer your queries. Thanks for your help. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/FC4%3A-Kernel-Panic---Not-Syncing-tp2826754p2826754.html Sent from the fedora mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
