Of course one really has to know that nVidia only makes the GPU's ...
The other components are made by many different manufactures and are
assembled into a "Video Card powered by nVidia" by many different
companies. 

To attempt to pin bad caps on nVidia is simply ludicrous.

Thanks Ian - I will have to check later as I have a heavy work day today -
but prior to yesterday's updates no internal partition icons appeared on the
desktop in Gnome - immediately after the updates and rebooting to the new
kernel this was the unexpected behaviour.  I had not rebooted the machine
for about a month prior to last night so it is possible that this new
behaviour is due to some other updates that came in sometime during the past
month and not specifically one of those from last night.

Anyway I will check the authorisations and other settings tonight - but in
the meantime I wonder if anyone else is seeing the same behaviour?

How to move from Openswan in F10 to F11?

[Albert Chin]

I have IPsec working in F10 with Openswan. Cert handling in F11 is
different because of NSS. How do I migrate? My F10 layout looks like:
  /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts
  /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/ca.crt
  /etc/ipsec.d/certs
  /etc/ipsec.d/certs/ch...@thewrittenword.com.crt
  /etc/ipsec.d/certs/vpn.thewrittenword.com.crt
  /etc/ipsec.d/crls
  /etc/ipsec.d/private
  /etc/ipsec.d/private/local.key
  /etc/ipsec.d/private/local.pub
  /etc/ipsec.d/tww.conf
  /etc/ipsec.d/tww.secrets

For F11, I copied the F10 config and then did the following:
  # cd /etc/ipsec.d
  # certutil -N -d /etc/ipsec.d
  Enter a password which will be used to encrypt your keys.
  The password should be at least 8 characters long,
  and should contain at least one non-alphabetic character.

  Enter new password: [empty]
  Re-enter password: [empty]
  # certutil -A -n ch...@thewrittenword.com -t "p,p,p" \
  -i certs/ch...@thewrittenword.com.crt -d /etc/ipsec.d
  # certutil -A -n vpn.thewrittenword.com -t "p,p,p" \
  -i certs/vpn.thewrittenword.com.crt -d /etc/ipsec.d
  # certutil -A -n "TWW CA" -t "C,C,C" \
  -i cacerts/ca.crt -d /etc/ipsec.d

I made changes to the following files:
  [tww.conf]
  authby=rsasig
  rightrsasigkey=%cert
  right...@vpn.thewrittenword.com
  -   rightcert=vpn.thewrittenword.com.crt
  +   rightcert=vpn.thewrittenword.com
  leftrsasigkey=%cert
  leftid=ch...@thewrittenword.com
  -   leftcert=ch...@thewrittenword.com.crt
  +   leftcert=ch...@thewrittenword.com
  leftsendcert=always

  [tww.secrets]
  -...@china@thewrittenword.com: RSA /etc/ipsec.d/private/local.key
  +: RSA ch...@thewrittenword.com

When I run "/etc/init.d/ipsec restart", /var/log/messages has:
  Jun 25 00:35:16 localhost ipsec__plutorun: 002 loading certificate from 
ch...@thewrittenword.com 
  Jun 25 00:35:16 localhost ipsec__plutorun: 002 loading certificate from 
vpn.thewrittenword.com 
  Jun 25 00:35:16 localhost ipsec__plutorun: 002 added connection description 
"tww"

Then, when I try to establish the IPsec connection:
  # ipsec auto --up tww
  ...
  003 "tww" #1: Can't find the private key from the NSS CERT (err -8166) 

Any ideas?

BTW, README.nss from openswan-2.6.21-nss.patch should be included in
openswan-doc.

Has KDM ever supported fingerprint readers? As far as I know, this is a
planned feature upstream.

And what model is the fingerprint reader? F11 ships with a new bleeding-edge
libfprint which drops support for some hardware (because the drivers are
not ported yet).

Well, you can use the original DVD with a classic kickstart file which just
tells Anaconda what to install from the DVD. You don't have to spin your
own DVD.

No, Fedora does not install the proprietary NVidia drivers. It installs the
Nouveau driver by default, the Free community-produced driver which
provides accelerated 2D and is working on 3D/OpenGL support (but that's not
available yet).

Some third parties have written such tools, but they cannot be included in
Fedora for the exact same reasons the code itself can't. Ubuntu gets away
with it because they're headquartered in the Isle of Man (and don't seem to
care about exposing their US-based contributors to legal risk).

That would still be contributory infringement.

Most likely the instructions you've followed were outdated or not taylored
to KDE. As I wrote, you need xine-lib-extras-freeworld and libdvdcss. If
they told you to install some GStreamer stuff, that won't work with the
current KDE because the default Phonon backend is the xine-lib one. (This
is likely to change in Fedora 12 because the Phonon-GStreamer backend is
much more reliable now than in the past, but for now Phonon-xine is the
default.)

Yup.

That was the first thing I tried. (Though I tried it again just for good
measure.)  The additions of bold.endoframe.net and the entry for hinge
were just experiments that had no discernible impact.

My DNS server is on a separate box.  I'm not using DHCP.

I'm close to changing my NIS domain to endoframe.net; but I doubt that's
the problem.

I was fully qualifying HOSTNAME here.  I'm not anymore.

> I am using network and NOT NetworkManager

I've changed from NetworkManager to network.  The only impact of that
I've noticed was on clients, where ypbind wouldn't find the server at
boot when using NetworkManager.

One thing I've noticed is that even though I've changed HOSTNAME
in /etc/sysconfig/network to "hinge" (from "hinge.endoframe.net"),
ypinit still sees "hinge.endoframe.net":

# /usr/lib64/yp/ypinit -m

At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run 
NIS
servers.  hinge.endoframe.net is in the list of NIS server hosts.  
Please continue to add
the names for the other hosts, one per line.  When you are done with the
list, type a .
next host to add:  hinge.endoframe.net
next host to add:  

I am wondering if this could be related to the problem.  Do you know
where ypinit picks up this name from?  I've seen some howtos where it is
not fully qualified (e.g.,
).

Are they actually being mounted, or is it just the icons? Do a df -h or 
a mount in a shell to see. If they are being mounted, it could be your 
policy settings.


Open up "System -> Preferences -> Authorisations", why it's in this menu 
is beyond me.


Have a look at "disks -> Mount a system internal device"

Implicit Authorisations should read

Anyone: No
Console: No
Active Console: Admin Authentication

See if there's any entry in Explicit Authorisations for your user and if 
so remove it.



If that makes no different, then it could be that the internal disks on 
your system are incorrectly being seen as external devices.


Have a look at "Disks -> Mount a device"

and set it to the same settings as above.

I would since the error message you get points to the specific
filename /dev/fb0. But note the "29, 0"  for /dev/fb, which means
for a second one it would be "29, 32". If you feel brave
delete the /dev/fb and create a new /dev/fb0. I wonder what would
happen if you rename /dev/fb to /dev/fb0. Just be cautious and
try whatever you're comfortable with.

Probably most people do the same. Network installs (in particular NFS) are

Wonderful radeon driver feature :-)

[Tom Horsley]

Speaking of how well the radeon driver "just works":

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506552

I ran into that at work to begin with, now my nvidia card
died, and I replaced it with the original radeon card
I had a while back, and I get the same bug.

Blocky looking blobs at the text cursor when typing
in any Qt application text field. (What Qt does different
in text fields, I don't know).

(Blowed up capacitors on the nvidia card :-).

You should be able to use almost any install DVD (or CD collection) to 
do an "upgrade". YMMV on how successful it will be given that you are 
jumping quite a few releases  How recent do you want to get?  F9? 
F10?  F11???  (rawhide)

hm, odd. Wonder what is different about my config. I'm just using a
very simple firewall setup with only ssh loaded. After the libvirtd
service is started, I see no mention of virbr0 in iptables output:

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination
ACCEPT all  --  anywhere anywherestate
RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT icmp --  anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all  --  anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT tcp  --  anywhere anywherestate NEW

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination
REJECT all  --  anywhere anywhere
reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination


and yet ifconfig shows the virbr0 bridge has been created succesfully.

I don't have an answer, but I'd like to comment on the F10->F11 preupgrade.

When preupgrade finds everything perfectly aligned, it works nicely.
But if something is not right, it has the potential to be a nightmare.

I was testing the preupgrade in a Windows/F10 dual boot setup. The
F10 had LVMs for /var and /usr in it. Preupgrade downloaded all
required files and I rebooted. Somewhere along the process it said
that I did not have enough space in /var; so I went back and increased
the size of the LV for /var and rebooted, then once again it said I did not
have enough space in the LV for /usr so I went back to increase the
size of the LV for /usr and rebooted... at this point it
got messed up complaining about a keyboard related module; so to
be fair I'll say that maybe something went wrong with resizing the LVs.
I almost gave up and thought of installing F11 directly.
But, I was stubborn so I went back and re-setup the Win/F10 dual boot
with a bigger VG with enough space for /var and /usr and it went
without a hitch.

So I pondered: (a) pregupgrade downloaded packages according to
what I already had installed in my F10 setup, so (b) why not check that
there's is enough disk space available *before* rebooting to start the
process? or (c) is there a problem with such checks when key filesystems
are in a Volume Group? I have no answers to any of my questions.

My memory fails me now, but I don't remember seeing any kind of log during
preupgrade as when one does a regular installs (ALT-F3 and such).
A log would be most helpful for errors such as your "File not found" error.

I think this preupgrade business must be handled with care.

Preupgrade F10 to F11: Installer boot fails in GRUB

[Robert Nichols]

Running preupgrade in F10, all packages are downloaded successfully, and I click
on the "Reboot now" button.  When the system reboots, I select the "Upgrade to
Fedora 11 (Leonidas)" entry from the GRUB menu and get an immediate "Error 15:
File not found" failure from GRUB.

Everything is on one partition (no separate /boot partition).

In /boot/grub/grub.conf:

  default=1
  timeout=10
  splashimage=(hd0,6)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
  #hiddenmenu
  title Upgrade to Fedora 11 (Leonidas)

ks=hd:UUID=d137c2a7-7913-42ed-87b0-6b3fac3ec768:/boot/upgrade/ks.cfg
initrd /boot/upgrade/initrd.img

The filesystem has the matching UUID:
  # tune2fs -l /dev/sda7 | grep UUID

Updates to F10 now put windows partition icons on desktop!

I just updated F10 tonight - and now when I log in I get a recovery partition
icon and a windows OS partition on the gnome desktop - yuch. 

Anyone know how to turn this off?

Please visit LinModems.org page:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/

Download scanModem.gz

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz

copy it to your home folder/directory

$ gunzip scanModem.gz
$ chmod +x scanModem
$ su -
passwd:
# ./scanModem

will run and write folder Modem/ with ModemData.txt please send it to me not 
list here(you can register at linmodems.org site and send to 
disc...@linmodems.org at your discretion), but I think I can help so please 
send it to me if you want.  I hope that the modem is not a difficult one and 
that we can help get you online with Fedora.  If it is a cell phone that you 
will use as a modem, then you may safely run from a terminal

$ su -
passwd:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

and it will scan for modem ports and may find one like at /dev/ttyUSB0, or 
/dev/ttyACM0 or something related.  Then you may edit the /etc/wvdial.conf file 
as root add your username, password and ISP's phone number and get connected.

Hope this helps,

Antonio

using a phone modem on F10 on a Thinkpad T61

[Globe Trotter]

So, I know this is kind of ancient, but I am behind a phone line on a IBM 
Thinkpad T61 and was wondering if anyone could please help me with how to set 
it up for Fedora 10.

Best,

It happens for me ... when I didn't really want it. But I figured out I
just need to allow samba ports in my general firewall rules, then the
libvirt additions should just work (right now I'm just running "iptables
-I INPUT -i virbr0 -j ACCEPT" after libvirt is running).

What is iptables showing?

I see virbr0 in mine and more.

The error message suggests "something" (rpc.idmapd ?)  is adding the
server   hostname (hinge)  to the domainname which is causing
the problem.
Try putting just bolt (and not bolt.endoframe.net)
and no 192.168.1.21 hinge hinge.endoframe.net in /etc/hosts
and reboot

No idea why but worth a try !

My NFS server is also my NIS, dhcpd, samba and DNS server

My NIS and DNS domains are both called jaa.org.uk

On my clients I have
naxos sysconfig 33# cat network
HOSTNAME=naxos
NETWORKING=yes
NISDOMAIN=jaa.org.uk

I am using network and NOT NetworkManager
Some of this was added by NetworkManager before I changed to network
Don't know what some of it does !
naxos sysconfig 35# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Networking Interface
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:30:1B:44:25:C0

PEERROUTES=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=naxos
NAME="System eth0"
UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03


Don't think its relevant but ...
My dhcpd.conf on the server (maui) looks like this

The client DNS domain is set by dhcpd

maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 1# cat /etc/dhcpd.conf

Re: Calibre on F11 64bit

[Peter van Hooft]

Hi,

Looking in the installer, it downloads a 32-bit version of calibre.
So, you would need to install libusb.i586 or possibly libusb1.i586.

If you unpack the tar file in its own directory, you can cd into the
directory
and try
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD ldd *.so 2>/dev/null | grep 'not found'
to get a first impression of what you need to install.

Uh, the X1600 works just fine (with 3D support, since Fedora 9 updates) with
the Free Software drivers which are actually IN Fedora, there's no reason
to "upgrade" to a HD4770 which requires the proprietary driver for 3D.

Kevin Kofler



yes, the upgrade is driven also by the huge potential increase in  
processing power, 600+ shaders vs. 16, 45 nm tech, low power and dvi  
support as well. I think the 3D support for the 4770 will come along,  
ATI seems to be pretty consistently playing nice with the community.

Yup.  I've seen as little as 2 cents per minute flat (with no monthly)
over a very large area (across the street or across the pond to Europe).
Sites www.teliax.com and www.gafachi.com are two I have accounts with.
They both work fine with Fedora's asterisk.  I haven't tested with a

Summary:

SELinux is preventing python (hplip_t) "read" security_t.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this
access
is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application
is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can
disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
recommended.

I have a similar error message:

'bra...@hinge.endoframe.net' does not map into domain 'endoframe.net'

hinge is my NIS server machine (as well as the NFS server); this error
message occurs on the client.  Adding an entry for hinge to /etc/hosts
does not appear to have changed this.

Funny.  Neverputt works perfectly for me on an Intel GM965 chipset.
Frankly, I'm quite glad that we're finally past the horror that was the
Fedora 10 Intel graphics driver.  Yes, it was a nasty six months, but
since installing Fedora 11, I haven't had a single graphics-related bug.

FWIW, I believe that Ubuntu 9.04 is now going through what we went
through with Fedora 10, so I probably wouldn't switch to Ubuntu if I was
frustrated with the new Intel graphics driver (or I'd switch to 8.10 or
8.04).

F-11 libvirt no longer creating firewall/iptables rules for virtual network?

I am not sure if I'm bumping into a bug, but on a new F-11 install I
no longer see libvirt/virt-manager creating iptables rules for virtual
machines - does anyone else see this?

Re: F11 fix for sound on Intel HDA machines ?

[Robin Price II]

[Bug 497461] Sounds not working after installation
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497461

I _wish_ I could get some traction in the bug... but nothing.
I posted a fix I did in there with the modprobe and that worked for me.

The problem still remains, sound doesn't work after installation for me.

Right. it was p901 in the file, that was just a slip-o-the fingers in

  i'm trying very hard to keep the set of packages small, and would
desperately like to *not* have to drag anything tex-related into it.
besides, AFAICT, i can generate postscript with FOP.  for testing
purposes, i'm using the XML source files for the subversion book, and
building various formats with their toolchain, and you can generate
postscript nicely without all of the above nonsense.

A couple of points here. Firstly, Evo *marks* junk mail but doesn't move
it. You see it in the virtual folder called Junk, but it's still in the
same folder it arrived in, just hidden. Note that you need to check for
new mail in any folders where mail may arrive (e.g. via an external
procmail script).

Also, training Bogofilter should initially be done with a collected set
of spam/ham messages outside of Evo.

I think Ubuntu is exactly the same - they don't ship proprietary code - in
fact, by default, they don't even install the nvidia drivers (which fedora
i386 install seems to do automatically),.

So Ubuntu does not have DVD or MPEG support off the bat.
There is something called the "Update Notifier" that asks if such software
should be downloaded, with appropriate warning about non-free code.
Seems like a good model to me - ie., a third-party writes a tool for Fedora
that automatically checks what modules are required for DVD playback,
prompts the user for permission, and goes whereever needed to get the stuff.

Given that many (most?) people probably expect and need DVD playback, seems
worth having such third-party automated tools bundled with fedora - not the
non-free code, just the thing that checks what is required and knows where
to get it.

As it is, everyone probably does this manually - and I'm sure I followed the
fedorafaq.org instructions - yet, no video.

trying to document "Authoring and Publishing" package breakdown

[Robert P. J. Day]

  for the sake of a short talk i've agreed to give (and which i will
post to my wiki ASAP), i'm trying to enumerate the various fedora
packages related to publishing, mostly related to XML and docbook.  as
a start, i wanted to list the minimal set of packages one could
install to get a full docbook/XSL/HTML/PDF toolchain. and here's what
i've come up with so far:

  libxml2:  (for xmllint, xmlcatalog, libxml2.so)
  libxslt:  (for xsltproc, libxslt.so)
  xml-common
  sgml-common
  xmlto

for stylesheets:

  docbook-style-xsl
  docbook5-style-xsl

for DTDs:

  docbook-dtds
  docbook5-schemas
  xhtml1-dtds

for PDF generation:

  fop

optionally for editing:

  xmlcopyeditor


i haven't tested the above yet, but i wanted to take a simple docbook
source example and show how to generate various output formats, and i
wanted to first demonstrate the *minimal* package set needed.

  thoughts?  anything i've forgotten?  any other packages that would
be worth showing once one gets beyond the basics?  publican, for
instance.

Pungi and kickstart problems for F11 install

[stan]

I installed F11 x86_64 from the DVD.  I did a minimal install using
only the base and development groups because I have several thousand
extra packages I like to install.  Usually I do them via script, but
decided to try something different this time around in order to make
the process faster.  I had heard about pungi and kickstart, and they
sounded like the way to go.

First I decided to try pungi.  The goal was to create an iso on a hd
partition that would not be affected by the F11 install and use it to
install all the packages I wanted via a kickstart file. i.e. no size
restriction as it would never go to media but be mounted directly off
the hard drive.  Pungi seemed perfect for this. I could copy the vmlinuz
and initrd off the F11 DVD and put them in my master boot directory that
wasn't changing, put an entry in grub pointing to them with askmethod,
and start the install. I had downloaded all the rpms from a mirror and
had them in a directory. I used the kickstart from the F11 install as my
basis for the kickstart fed to pungi. And I was doing this from within
F11 itself, as required.  Eventually, I fiddled around until I got
pungi to create an iso but I could never actually get it to include the
packages that I had in the packages section of the kickstart.  I tried
different options -C, -I, but it seems that pungi can only work with
source packages and I had only the official distribution rpms to
include.  It isn't clear from the documentation whether the rpms have
to be in a repository or not so I tried it both ways.  It didn't choke,
and it gave no errors, and the iso created looked fine, but nothing I
did would include them. Here is the basic command I used:

pungi --config=/mnt/home_base/f11-ks.cfg --name=Fedora --ver=11
--fulltree --selfhosting --cachedir=/mnt/home_base/localrepo
--destdir=/mnt/home_base/pungi_f11_iso  --nosource  --nosplitmedia
--force  -I

This was trying with a repo instead of a directory of files.  I noticed
that the format of the repo created by createrepo is different that
that of the official repos in /var/cache/yum.  Maybe that was the
problem.  


When that didn't work, I tried a longshot of creating a kickstart file
that pointed to the packages, then rebooting with the vmlinuz and
initrd from the F11 dvd as described above.  (To copy the vmlinuz and
initrd files, mount the F11 install DVD locally and copy them.
mount /mnt/r2s1/home/stan/dl/iso/Fedora-11-x86_64-DVD.iso /media/dvdr
-t iso9660 -o loop)

This is the boot record to put in grub

title Fedora 11 install
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-f11-install askmethod
initrd /initrd-f11-install.img

It started fine and I could have pointed to the F11 DVD iso and
installed again, but nothing I did could make it use the kickstart file
I had defined to reinstall F11 with all the packages I wanted.  I tried
using several different styles of URL with no result.  It wanted an
ISO, and that was that.  I tried using ks=sdb2/f11-ks.cfg with no
success either.

In the end I used a script to install the packages in chunks.  There
were file conflict errors in the packages, and --skip-broken didn't
seem to work for them, with that whole chunk of installs being
scrapped.  I found this out by trying a single yum --skip-broken
install on all the files.  Several hours wasted.  :-(

So, is there a way to make the pungi method work?  Or can I just take
the guts out of the F11 install DVD, put the packages I want into the
packages directory, put my kickstart file someplace in there, make an
iso file system using makeisofs (doesn't have to be bootable as the
boot record in grub takes care of that), and boot from the iso.  I
didn't try this because there are so many unknowns the combinatorics of
trial and error become defeating.  If so, how?

  i've been following this thread and i still have no luck configuring
my samsung multifunction scx-4826fn.  colin refers to installing some
of the files "by hand", but if i download the samsung unified driver
and smart panel app, why should i be doing any config by hand instead
of running smart panel?

  so i'm still looking for the right recipe.  this printer configured
and ran nicely under f10, so if anyone has a series of steps i can
try, i'd be ever so grateful.  i'm more than happy to test whatever
someone asks me to test.

F11 DVD install video problem and solution

[stan]

While installing F11 x86_64 from the DVD everything would go swimmingly
during language, timezone selection, then fail when it moved on.
It would be happily running along, then the screen would go blank and
all DVD and HD access would stop, obviously no error message :-) .
Media passed the check. Eventually, I figured out that this was a
consistent error and selected the low res option and was able to
successfully install.

On reboot, the system still retained the low res for everything.  There
was an xorg.conf file with this as the only setting.  To fix things, I
removed the xorg.conf, then edited the entry in the grub menu.  I took
out the nomodeset and added vga=0x317.  After that, everything worked
and the consoles were even useable. I actually ran the Xorg -configure
and it created an xorg.conf.new that looked OK, but I didn't use it.

My video hardware is an ancient nvidia card that I have been running on
the nv or nouveau drivers without problems forever.  Seemed strange it
should have a problem.

Maybe this will help someone with the same issue.

Unfortunately, I had to return this laptop to its owner. Since we
couldn't get it to work within the short timeframe we had, they also
elected to go with Windows 7 RC on it for now for some other testing.

We'll have an opportunity to look at this again in a few weeks though. I
have a feeling the issue is similar to the other thread dealing with
Broadcom firmware and support - if not exactly the same issue. It
wouldn't surprise me one bit.

We'll know for sure once they're done with what they are doing with
it...

Chris

Also, I think that modprobe.conf is deprecated, put the options line in a file

Oh well.

Just a suggestion, but have you tried looking for your proper model to use with 
the snd-hda-intel module?
Check out the thread listed as "two F11 issues" for some info I put on figuring 
out the proper module.

It is also on my blog (mine was for an eeepc, but it should be standard across 
all hardware): http://www.taiter.com/blog/2009/05/eee-pc-1000he-tips.html 

Just look in the "Low Volume Problems" section for the information.

Did you try the quanta model? That gave me the loudest sound.

Also, you wrote back "eeepc-0901" for the model you tried. That is a typo, it 
is really "eeepc-p901".

F-11 on a T23 - first experience

[Timothy Murphy]

I installed Fedora-11 on my newly acquired Thinkpad T23
by burning the netinst ISO to a CD, and running this.
My first try failed because the formatting on a partition
continued for 2 or more hours before I interrupted it,
with the dreadful Anaconda yo-yo going backwards and forwards.

So I formatted the partition "by hand" with mkfs.ext3
and ran netinst again, without requestion any formatting.

This time it ran perfectly, installing F-11 on a bare partition.
Rather to my suprise it did not ask me for an URL
but found a server itself,
and installed  packages quite quickly.

However, the resulting system, though usable,
has several problems:

1. Responses to key-strokes and other input seems inordinately slow.
Eg on moving the cursor, it disappears briefly
before re-appearing at the new position.

3. Other responses are equally slow,
eg after clicking on the f-icon, 
it takes 5 seconds for the menu to appear.

2. It takes about 90 seconds from entering login name
to appearance of desktop and panel.

4. Response to typing is very slow.
Having typed a letter, it takes half a second for it to appear.

5. I notice that X while is running (R) it is taking 98-99% CPU,
though after a time when it starts sleeping (S) this drops to a normal 5.6%.
If I move the cursor X starts running again 
(which it does not do on other machines)
and again takes up a huge amount of CPU.

The kernel I am running is 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE .
(I'm not sure what the PAE means?)
I have run "yum update"; this only brought in one package.
The machine has 1GB RAM.

Any observations gratefully received.

That's no problem - I do password-protect the kwallet.  However, in F11 I was 
definitely asked about saving the passphrase in the gnome keyring.  I don't 
recall seeing that in F10 - could be wrong, of course, as it's a long time 
ago.

Migrating from courier imap+mysql to cyrus-imapd + pam_mysql

[Uno Engborg]

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate a mail system from Courier-imap to a Cyrus imapd
using saslauthd backed by pam with users and passwords stored in a MySQL
database. Naturally I don't want to force
my users to change password, so I want to reuse the password in
saslauthd ( I use sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd ) in cyrus.

My problem is that I don't know what password algorithm they have used
in the mysql database where the Courier users are stored. The users and
passwords are probably created by joomla and the password field in MySQL
look something like the four examples below:

$1$b729006d$c0QA4.h1DcdPU.ruT.t9G.  
$1$1a821c41$4bgG6zHlIiqQGVu1FObv90
$1$cc7768ea$J5GJRo6.Q9kG99amXm9K21 
$1$6f7f4578$3QMWFH/bvFzQbq8FbVDz1/

Anybody that have any clue what algorithm might be used for the Courier
authdaemond passwords? or if there are any suitable pam_module that can
make use of them?













Some more information:

The /etc/authlib/authdaemonrc looks like this:

authmodulelist="authmysql"
authmodulelistorig="authuserdb authpam authpgsql authldap authmysql
authcustom authpipe"
daemons=5
authdaemonvar=/var/spool/authdaemon
DEBUG_LOGIN=0
DEFAULTOPTIONS=""
LOGGEROPTS=""



The etc/authlib/authmysqlrc looks like this:

MYSQL_SERVERlocalhost
MYSQL_USERNAME  postfixdb
MYSQL_PASSWORD  secret
MYSQL_PORT  0
MYSQL_OPT   0
MYSQL_DATABASE  postfix
MYSQL_USER_TABLEmailbox
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password
DEFAULT_DOMAIN  mydomain.com
MYSQL_UID_FIELD 100
MYSQL_GID_FIELD 102
MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD   username
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD'/usr/local/virtual'
MYSQL_NAME_FIELD name
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD  maildir
MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELDquota
MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE   active='1'

If those are non-removable partitions, it's a bug that it did mount it
automatically before. It's supposed to be allowed only with the root
password. The right way to configure non-removable partitions is to enter
them in /etc/fstab, then they'll get mounted right at boot time as they're
supposed to.

 Kevin Kofler

   
Hmm yea. I guess I already had typed my root password in somewhere when 
I used gnome-mount. Because gnome-mount didn't ask me for any password 
when I tried mounting my NTFS partitions.


Guess that's solved then. Thanks ;)

For the ones that don't want to fiddle around in /etc/fstab, a tool 
called "ntfs-config" does that for you.

Huh...
I have plenty Intel only systems, G35 and G45 systems and after a looong
hopeful wait for them to "just work" I am considering switching distro's.
Problem is I like RH based distros and Fedora has all I need with 3rd party
repos.

My Intel systems hand on playing video and just last night I reinstalled a
system on loan to a friend as X wouldn't even run.

Personally, my experience is they work terrible...

"Just work" in the sense that apps like neverputt are slow and jerky
and use 99% of the cpu (with the radeon driver anyway) compared to
previous non-DRI2 X where they were smooth and only hit about
60% of the cpu.

??? I've removed my GNOME keyring password and it works fine (with a
warning that the passwords are stored in plain text, which doesn't
concern me too much as my hard drive is encrypted).

It's used. It's saved in the GNOME keyring. So you need to unlock the

How to use the Evolution Bogofilter plugin

[lists-fedora]

Hello Everyone
I've been trying to figure this out for about a day now, with no success
so far.
On Claws-Mail, I would configure it's Bogofilter plug-in to move Spam
messages to a certain directory, and Unsure messages to another
directory.  The result would be that all of my Ham mailing list messages
were filtered to the appropriate directory for that mailing list, the
spam messages went to SPAM, and the unsure messages went to UNSURE.  Of
course a very few would sneak into my inbox once in a while, but I would
just mark them as SPAM, and they would be automatically moved to the
configured directory.

Now, on Evolution, I have filters set up to move, let's say, the emails
from the Fedora list to a directory named "fedora-list"  My other
mailing lists are set up accordingly.  Evolution has been doing a
perfect job so far with accomplishing this.

But, I have not been able to find where to tell the Evolution's
Bogofilter plugin to put my spam messages and my unsure messages.  One
thing I DO know is that I have manually marked over 500 messages so far
as "Junk".  But, every time new spam comes in, I have to mark it
manually.  Of course, it is then moved to the "Junk" folder, which is
fine.  But, isn't is supposed to be moving it automatically, without me
having to mark it as Junk all the time?

The only documentation that I have FOUND so far is this:
http://www.ghacks.net/2009/06/20/use-bogofilter-for-better-junk-detection-in-evolution/

It appears to suggest marking good email as "Junk" and junk email as
"Not Junk"  From the above linked page:


> A lot of people complain that Bogofilter doesn’t work well. The main
> reason it doesn’t work well is because it hasn’t been trained.
> Remember those SPAM and HAM emails you collected in the SPAM and HAM

> just learned what you consider to not be junk.

So, have I just not trained enough SPAM yet? (I have done over 500 so
far)  Do I actually have to mark SPAM as "Not Junk" and HAM as "Junk"
like the above linked article suggests?  In my opinion, I would have
really appreciated it if the above linked article had even slightly
explained WHY I was supposed to mark SPAM as "Not Junk"...

I am sure this is almost an embarrassingly simple issue to fix, but none
the less, I have not been able to nail it on my own...

Thank you for your help,
Steven P. Ulrick

You most likely missed some packages. libdvdcss is only for decryption, you
also need codecs for decompression: xine-lib-extras-freeworld or

Fedora intentionally does not support or recommend proprietary drivers. We
do not consider substracting your freedom an "upgrade".

Fedora cannot do that for legal reasons. Shipping MPEG codecs violates US
patents, shipping libdvdcss the US DMCA. As Fedora is based in the USA, we
can't break their laws.

You need xine-lib-extras-freeworld from RPM Fusion and libdvdcss from Livna
to play DVDs with Dragon Player.


Unfortunately, I don't know where your driver issues with the x86_64 version
came from. It's working well for many people. And the i586 version working
fine whereas the x86_64 version is broken is particularly bizarre.

Ah - make available to all users.  I tried that in the early days and it 
didn't stick.  I then forgot about it.

It's expected to just work. Of course I cannot promise that there will be no
bugs, but in principle that chip is supported.

Please post the relevant line of lspci or lsusb. The same marketing name can

Both KSpread and Gnumeric are able to import .ods files.

That said, OO.o Calc really ought to get fixed.

Uh, the X1600 works just fine (with 3D support, since Fedora 9 updates) with
the Free Software drivers which are actually IN Fedora, there's no reason
to "upgrade" to a HD4770 which requires the proprietary driver for 3D.

Unfortunately, this is expected if you upgrade F10 with current updates
using the F11 DVD, as the latest yum in F10 updates is newer than what
released with F11. You have to fetch the yum from the F11 updates by hand.

Please start by running "lspci" so we can know the exact PCI ID. The same

Most likely a bug in the plugin you're using (Flash?).

The KDE Live CD is configured to autologin. If you get a login screen, this
means the KDE session failed to come up and so it drops you back to KDM.
Most likely this is a video driver bug which crashes X11.

Hi again

Just run a couple of checks with one of my machines

1. Removed name from /etc/hosts and rebooted
   nfsnobody appears everywhere on an nfs mount

Error messages such as these in /var/log/messages

Jun 24 08:56:47 monk rpc.idmapd[1501]: nss_getpwnam: name 'j...@localdomain' 
does not map into domain 'jaa.org.uk'

2. Replaced name in /etc/hosts and rebooted - problems disappear

I assume that j...@localdomain rather than j...@jaa.org.uk is being passed to 
rpc.idmapd which it is unhappy with
The entry in /etc/hosts definitely fixes this for me
I guess your problem must be different

No, it's actually that you have to specify ./config (i.e.: . ./config), not
just config.

Your ancient version (ALSA library 1.0.3a? WTF??? The oldest still supported
release is Fedora 9 which has 1.0.17 in updates!) is no longer supported,
you have to upgrade. You can't expect to get help for unsupported releases.

Most likely the ancient ALSA in the obsolete release you're using simply
does not support your current hardware. That's no wonder.

Time to upgrade.

screen corruption when switching to TTYs

[Konstantin Svist]

I have a laptop with nvidia card (8600M GT (rev a1)) where I just
installed F11 x86_64.
I've added vga=0x369 to /boot/grub/grub.conf (that's 1860x1050, native
resolution).
The system boots up without incidents.

While in X, I try to switch to TTYs (Ctrl+Alt+F2, for instance). Instead
of a tty, I see a corrupted image of the desktop - there are diagonal
lines and everything is mangled beyond recognition, but the colors kind
of match the desktop content.
If I press Ctrl+Alt+F1, it goes back to the desktop without any visual
glitches.

Before I set the vga kernel param, switching worked perfectly. Of
course, the resolution was very low, so I don't want to go back to that
if possible.

Anyone have the same problem? What can I do about it?

Thanks

Thanks.  Is this new in F11?  I've never seen it in F10.  If/when I get the 
netbook running again I'll try that.
