reinstall of fc10.
I am in the process of doing a reinstall of fc10, and Ive come across a problem that I know I solved when I first did the install 6mo ago. First, I use twm and xterm, not the current stuff. This may be a bug that the children have 'installed' while playing with this stuff. But: When I login (I use inittab '3'), I first get a message saying that it cant find my home directory, and that it is going to log me into root, viz something like Cant find /home/reg Logging you into '/' and then it proceeds with the stuff in my home directory as if nothing is wrong.

Missing icons
Several packages I've installed subsequent to the initial Fedora 11 install aren't having their icons displayed (in the menu and on launchers). But this isn't the case with *all* packages I've installed; just some. The problem children: epiphany, emacs, empathy, vinagre, and xchat-gnome. Also, the processor icons for gnome-sensors-applet appear to be missing (I get the default black square). I've looked, and there do appear to be some icons for these apps under /usr/share/icons. Does anyone see a pattern here that might suggest what the problem is? This is the third box I've installed F11 on, and the only place I'm observing this problem. -- Braden McDaniel -- 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 find it hard to believe that a LiveCD would have a problem because /tmp on the harddrive was full (although it IS possible that the live instance DOES use /tmp...not sure). But in my case, I had attempted to install F11, but it barfed during package selection. Rescue-is-possible showed me that Ananconda had indeed formatted the partitions...so /tmp was definitely empty in my case. And the LiveKDE disk wanted a password, which the LiveGnome disk did not.

a mystery wrapped in an enigma running in a VNC session :-).
I had previously noticed that when I ran emacs in a vnc server on my home system, the Alt key seemed to disappear. While racking my brains to figure out what to look for, I happened to notice that if I started emacs by hand in a terminal, the Alt key worked fine as a prefix, so I started binary searching through various scripts, and finally discovered this completely inexplicable tid-bit: I have this little script that starts emacs with a different title if it is running as root: #!/bin/sh if [ `whoami` = "root" ] then exec emacs --title='ROOT em...@zooty ROOT' else exec emacs fi That script works fine in the normal X server, but when the X server is vnc, the emacs that starts up cannot use the Alt prefix key. If I change /bin/sh on the first line to /bin/bash, then the Alt key works perfectly! Can anyone imagine any hypothesis for why execing emacs from /bin/sh would act different than execing it from /bin/bash, but only when in a vnc session? This has gotta be the 2nd most mysterious thing I've ever seen a computer do :-). -- 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

x86_64 install stuck "no driver found"
Strange - says unable to find driver for this installation type - am booting off DVD, and it read the DVD, booted, and then says "No driver found"? Is that referring to some other device and not the CD/DVD drive? I also tried the i386 DVD, and that seems to proceed much more ahead, on same machine. This is for a GIGABYTE GA-73PVM-S2 http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2734&ProductName=GA-73PVM-S2 and I understand it needs "forcedeth" for networking, but I tried selecting that on the "Select Driver" menu, but no luck, continue to loop around the "No driver found", "Select driver" menus in the install.

Lots of opinions there. And as you can see from the comments, there are as many viewpoints about sound in linux as there are users of sound in linux. The trouble is that sound is a desktop function, and the money is all made in servers. So how likely is it that sound will get the resources? ;-) Given modern hardware and changes in the kernel I don't know that alsa is the best way to do sound in linux, but it is the most comprehensive and complete right now, and as it exists in linux serves my purposes, so I don't worry too much about those deep architectural issues. -- 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

However, I also tried dillo, with the same unable to load result. I had an idea of how to check this. I booted the problem computer with fc9 Live-CD. (I think that gives me all clean configuration files) and I had the same problem and gmail still worked. I have connected the ethernet cable out of the modem to my old computer ( fc8). I tried to boot, which went OK, except the modem wasn't found. I then powered down the modem and the computer, then powered them both up and booted. It seems to work fine. (Maybe this computer works on saturdays) To me, it acts like hardware.

If you used the Fedora Live-CD then the whole OS was, more or less, loaded into the memory of your computer. Do you actually have a dedicated partition that is /tmp on your hard drive? If so. Why? And if it was 'full' I would think that would have been because of Fedora 10. Yes, I followed a setup suggestion from somewhere(!), and have a /tmp partition. I'd been trying to install "Rome-Total War" under wine & the only place big enough was /tmp. When that didn't work, I forgot to clear /tmp (as well as some left overs from before I switched to KDE) so yes, tmp had no free space. I couldn't login to F10 normally (thought it must have been a download which screwed up my system) I tried the CD to try & rescue the system. That's when I got the crazy login/password problem. Once I'd managed to clear /tmp, all worked normally again. But as I wrote earlier, running the F11 Live-CD on my laptop (which also had F10 on it) gave no problems & has installed quite happily onto harddisk (reformatting all the existing partitions except /boot to ext4) Cheers Dave -- 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

this is why I hate changing Fedora versions
I had a good F7 version that did pretty much everything I wanted. But it was no longer getting updates and I thought that since my ATI1600 video card was being dropped by ATI, maybe I had better upgrade. Then when I install the Sapphire 4770 card I will get updates and if I'm reading my mail correctly there is likely to be good open source support for the 3D graphic capabilities in the near term. Fine. So I switched to the new HD and installed F11 x86_64 fresh. The sound doesn't work. OK, what about muting? yes? Yes. The sound was muted by default. So I unmuted it. Still no sound. Go to System -> Preferences -> Advanced Volume Control. no joy. Check the plug on the back of the box, is it plugged in? yes. To the right little hole? yes. Just where it was when I switched and it worked then. Volume turned up on the speakers? yes. Don't know what else to check. The card is a little Ensoniq Sound Blaster compatible I've had for years. I don't do any tricks with it, just play tunes. I now remember going through this little dance two years ago or so when I went from FC5 to F7. Isn't it brain dead to ship a distribution with the sound muted by default? Apart from Ubuntu, does anyone have a suggestion where else I can look to get things working? The system _thinks_ it's working, kplayer chugs through Sweet Home Chicago just as if it was doing something useful, but no tune.

But, the Fedora 7 PC I pulled this hardware from didn't have any onboard SATA, so I had originally decided to purchase the RAID card to give me SATA II ports AND do the RAID in hardware (the PC is 5 years old). Now that I've moved it all into my new PC, I have access to on board SATA. So, the plan is to: 1. move the data from the old RocktRAID 1740 RAID 5 to my Linux RAID 1 2. disconnect all 3 drives from the RAID card 3. connect the same 3 drives to the on board SATA I/II ports 4. remove the RAID card 5. configure Linux RAID 5 on those drives That'll make me sleep better at night. :) But, I'm in no rush to do it, especially since I make daily backups. It took long enough to move all the hardware around today. Maybe I'll make the change in a few months. FYI: I'm doing all of this just so I can run FreeNAS in a KVM VM on my PC. I don't think freebsd can read from or write to Linux LVM, so I'll have to use NFS on top in order use the storage in FreeNAS.

Yes, that's what I see here. And yellow "version-release doesn't match enabled repos". If I kill /var/lib/yumdb/*, "yum list installed" loses its history and no longer knows from which repo a package was installed. Then it uses yellow for all packages that don't match the cached metadata of the enabled repos. It uses red for the installed "mobile-broadband-provider-info" package because that's a new package from updates-testing and not available in the F11 "fedora" or "updates" repos. If I enable updates-testing for the "list installed" query, the package name is not printed in red anymore as now it is found in the enabled repos' metadata. -- 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
RocketRAID 1740 and Fedora 10
Hi All, I have a fully updated Fedora 10 box in which I've installed a RocketRAID 1740 controller. I've attached three SATA II drives to it, and configured them for RAID 5. When I boot the machine, the card appears to be detected properly. But, the actual RAID array isn't. That is, instead of seeing one drive, all three drives are detected individually. Oh, the sata_mv module is being automatically loaded. I had this very same controller and the same drives installed in a Fedora 7 box before. The difference there was that I was using Highpoint's own driver. The RAID array came up as one drive, the way I expected it to. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I've found it useful to know the IP address of my ISP's entry port (seen from my network). You can often discover this via traceroute, or just look at the "default route" setting for your modem. Whenever there's a problem I ping the IP to quickly detect if a network problem is local to me or is in the ISP. Knowing the typical ping times is also useful, and if the error rate is non-zero it's a strong hint of a physical problem. poc -- 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 would agree. From your description before, I think that your system is either constrained by memory or hard disk space from doing a 1600+ update in one chunk. A guess. I think you need to update each package individually, rather than en masse as you are trying. The fact that the libraries didn't upgrade is a very bad sign. That your system still booted is a good sign as it means there is some coherence still present. Do a yum list installed to see what is actually installed. Redirect the output to a file and put yum -y upgradein front of each package. Then run it as a shell script by adding #! /bin/bash at the top and making it executable chmod +x script. At first it should pull lots of dependencies in, then fewer and fewer. But it shouldn't be a single massive update. If that doesn't work, try doing some forced updates of library packages that seem to be causing problems before going back to yum. I think you can recover from this, but it is going to be a long hard slog. I suggest a short walk in the fresh air before you start. Making decisions in urgency, unless necessary, is rarely good policy. -- 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

If you have network access, go to a repository, (a browser should do) and find the F11 yum rpm.

I have umounted partitions, deleted them with (c)fdisk, recreated different partitions, put filesystem on them, and run blkid and it has given me the new UUID number. I then edit fstab, adding the new partitions and deleting the old, and I am able to mount them. I think it more likely that there has to be an entry in /dev as a block device (looks like those are major chord 8 or 253 from your listing). But it seems Bill was prescient in asking why they disappeared. > > my drives are listed in /dev as sdb, sdc, sdd but the partitions are > missing. they should be sdb1 sdc1 and sdd2 as seen in fdisk -l output > from the F10 LiveCD. here's my /dev http://fpaste.org/paste/15866 > The evidence seems to suggest that either udev or hal failed to notice and log these partitions in /dev (I am not familiar with this process). Once they are there, they should have the same UUID, and so should be mountable from fstab again. You say you can boot into the system without mounting those drives. Can you run parted, fdisk, or cfdisk against one of the drives when the new system is up. parted /dev/sdb or cfdisk /dev/sdb or fdisk /dev/sdb For now, just print the partition table and see if it is present as you would expect it to be. If it is, as seems likely, then the problem is definitely in the hardware sensing. At that point, quit the partition tool. Then you should first look in /var/log/messages to see if there are any relevant error messages from boot up about why the partitions that exist aren't being recognized. Then you should go look for bugzilla records of this problem to see if there is a workaround. If there are none, open a problem record so you can get expert help. http://bugzilla.redhat.com There are experts here, perhaps one will be able to recognize your problem and give you better advice. WARNING!!! The advice below could lose your data! If you are feeling adventurous and impatient, you could write the partition table on the drive without changing it, if it is correct. Perhaps that will trigger a process to put device nodes in /dev for the partitions or do so on reboot. But there is a risk that it could lose the data on the drive by messing with the partition table. I wouldn't do this until I had pursued other alternatives first. -- 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

If firefox is cacheing a bad dns, then maybe everything else would work OK except firefox. Maybe, if it cached a google dns, it would work with the google stuff, which it does, but not other sites. However, I also tried dillo, with the same unable to load result. I had an idea of how to check this. I booted the problem computer with fc9 Live-CD. (I think that gives me all clean configuration files) and I had the same problem and gmail still worked. I have connected the ethernet cable out of the modem to my old computer ( fc8). I tried to boot, which went OK, except the modem wasn't found. I then powered down the modem and the computer, then powered them both up and booted. It seems to work fine. (Maybe this computer works on saturdays) To me, it acts like hardware.

There seem to be many issues with your setup.
!!ALSA Version
!!
Driver version: 1.0.18a
Library version:1.0.20
Utilities version: 1.0.20
Your drivers are at 1.0.18, and as someone else said there was a lot of
work done on hda-intel from 1.0.18 to 1.0.20. You need to update the
driver package as described earlier in the thread.
Your chip is
!!HDA-Intel Codec information
!!---
--startcollapse--
Codec: Realtek ALC1200
This is a very new chip in the ICH10 family.
!!PCI Soundcards installed in the system
!!--
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio
Controller
I could find no documentation in the alsa-driver snapshot I have
regarding this chip. That is not a good sign.
However, the fact that it was working in F10 means that there is
probably a model that alsa is able to discover that works for this
chip, even though not designed explicitly for it. And in fact there is
mention of the chip in the code in relation to asus-p5q. Perhaps the
documentation just hasn't caught up to the code yet.
And alsa might have found that here as well, but this appears to be a
problem with your default device.
!!ALSA configuration files
!!
!!System wide config file (/etc/asound.conf)
#Generated by system-config-soundcard
#If you edit this file, don't run system-config-soundcard,
#all your changes here could be lost.
#HWCONF
#DEV 2
pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "hw:0,2" }}
ctl.!default { type hw card 0 }
You are using hw card 0, your hda-intel for output, but you are using
device 2. Unfortunately, this doesn't exist.
!!Aplay/Arecord output
!!
APLAY
List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
If you are playing analog you need to change that hw:0,2 to hw:0,0 or if
you are playing digital you need to change that to hw:0,1
And this really should not exist in asound.conf. Better that you copy
it to .asoundrc in your home directory and remove the /etc/asound.conf
file. Then the system default will be the alsa default hw:0,0 and you
will use whatever you set in your .asoundrc when you log in.
Everything else looks OK as near as I can tell. Fixing these might not
fix your problem, but if you don't fix the configuration at least there
is no chance you will get sound.
If you still have access to the F10 system, it would be good to look at
the alsa-info.sh output and see how the configuration differed from the
current system. In particular, check if you had a .asoundrc and if
there was an /etc/modules.conf file and what was in it.
In future, before you do an upgrade, you should run the alsa-info.sh
and let it save the result online. Then if sound doesn't work with the
new system, you have the old configuration that worked to guide you to a
solution.

F11 Trash Not Emptying
Sometimes it tells me that certain things can't be removed (Error removing file: Permission denied) -- even though their owner is my userid -- and sometimes it just does nothing. Ir I right click on one of the items in the trash, then on Properties, then on Permissions, it tells me I own it; but if I try to change group folder access, it says 'Sorry, could not change the permissions of "192.168.1.100": Operation not supported by backend.' This happened once before, with F10 iirc, and that time I managed to get to the trash as root and deleted the stuff; but alas!, I can neither recall nor reconstruct how I did it. As root at /home/btth, if I do ls|grep Trash, I get no hits. Similarly at /home/btth/Desktop. If I click on it, click file, then Open Location, it tells me "trash:///" -- but I can't cd to it.

Give some more details, please. The hulahop package has been rebuilt for F11, "yum list hulahop" shows 0.4.9-4.fc11.i586 in the base "fedora" Everything repository.
