Can anybody help me with this build issue? (related to pdflatex)
Hi all, Recently, one of my packages does not build against rawhide. Using pdflatex to generate documentation fails in rawhide. I don't know what's the problem specially that it seems that tex related packages have not bean changed since Fedora 11. (I can successfully build the package on an updated Fedora 11). This is the build log: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=353754 Thanks in Advance, Hedayat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
Re: Are all your Fedora 12 Features Where They Should be?
Hi, Nine days remain before Fedora 12 Feature freeze. No more features can be added after 2009-07-28. I'm missing 2 features (still). No sound and no mounting of USB drives. I can get sound by a combination of su / chown -R paul:audio /dev/snd / exit / pulseaudio -k. USB I have to create a directory in /home/paul, su, mount /dev/sd*1 newdir and then can only do things as su to that directory, but as paul for taking from it.

No, that dependency actually is a bug because I hardcoded the %{_isa} to
force it to a specific architecture target: nss-mdns(x86-32). That's
wrong, it shouldn't have the hardcoding. I'll fix it in the next build.

Re: Chromium-3.0.195 fails to start
No, that dependency actually is a bug because I hardcoded the %{_isa} to
force it to a specific architecture target: nss-mdns(x86-32). That's
wrong, it shouldn't have the hardcoding. I'll fix it in the next build.

Mass rebuild for Fedora 12
Fedora Release Enginerering is going to be starting a mass rebuild this Thursday, July 28th, for the following Fedora 12 features: - XZ RPM Payloads - x86 Architecture Support Just as in the Fedora 11 mass rebuild, if you'd like to opt out for your packages, check a file into your package's devel/ branch, named 'noautobuild'. This file should contain a short rationale of why you wish to do the build yourself. Note that if you do not do a rebuild during the timeframe before Alpha, one will be done regardless of the presence of this file. Also note that delta RPMS will be disabled in rawhide for the duration of this mass rebuild; delta rpms across payload format changes in RPM are not useful.

Test the POSSE Education Fedora Remix today!
=== Test the POSSE Education Fedora Remix today! === Have you ever wanted to contribute - or get others to contribute - to an open source education project, but never found the time to set up and get started? We've got a ready-to-go contributors' (not just code!) environment for you. The Fedora Education SIG (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education_SIG) announces today in cooperation with POSSE (http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_2009), a Red Hat sponsored summer program to introduce professors to the open source way of development, the release of the POSSE Education remix. The remix will be deployed immediately to the professors at POSSE and has been developed with the purpose of creating a ready-to-go development environment for contributing to educational projects inside, but also outside of the Fedora ecosystem in mind. It contains development environments, tools, documentation, and getting-started resources for contributing to a number of projects including Fedora, Mozilla, Sugar Labs and KDE Education and can be used by individuals or by teachers, students, and classrooms that want to contribute to open source projects as part of their course effort. The download is directly available, together with the SHA-1 checksum, over HTTP from here: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/remixes/POSSE/POSSE-Education-1.iso 391a0170e09e68142cbe2c95b62b2b0c6fa628d5 POSSE-Education-1.iso Being based on the latest Fedora release, this remix provides users with a stable environment with supplemental features, such as: * an easy starting point into educational open source projects by providing pre-selected bookmarks and related IRC channels * the Sugar Platform (http://www.sugarlabs.org), as seen on the OLPC - as of 2009/07/15, all required dependencies for building sugar-jhbuild, a way of pulling and running the latest sugar bits, are included * a number of educational applications, such as the KDE Education Packages (http://edu.kde.org) or software for numerical operations - a Moodle session (http://www.moodle.org) to showcase an open source learning management system * a whole development environment including gcc, python and more, as well as Fedora's packaging tools - the Eclipse environment with plugins for Python and RPM, but also LaTeX and documentation purposes A getting started guide is also available and contains instructions for various applications and communities: https://fedorahosted.org/education/wiki/GetStarted If you are interested in getting in touch with the developers, other users or would just like to submit feedback, please join our mailing list here: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-education-list.

Maybe you could check a hash of the repomd.xml file? You shouldn't have to
track too many different hashes.
For what it's worth, this hash checking already happens on repomd.xml
files for mirrors that are crawled via HTTP, and my patch added that
check to FTP mirrors as well.
When talking on IRC with Matt, we realized that the check shouldn't be
necessary at all though, since the other files in the repodata are
successfully getting the repodata directory marked outdated (and we did
confirm that this was happening with the last bu mirror crawl).
Overall, I think the crawling has been working fine even without the
timestamp checking (apart from some issues caused by the timestamp
problem we recently saw), I just wanted to mention why that was
currently disabled.
As another side note, mirrormanager is currently aware of what
directories are repositories:
mdomsch sure
mdomsch so, MM does know that that dir is a repository
mdomsch class Directory: repository = SingleJoin('Repository')
mdomsch bu the crawler doesn't do anything special with that knowledge
mdomsch perhaps it should
mdomsch by definition, a Repository is a Directory that has a child
directory named 'repodata'
mdomsch but the whole directory tree starting at that Directory down, is
part of the repository
So all of the framework should be in place for marking an entire
repository out of date if the repodata is out of date.
Thanks,
Ricky

Ultimate Linux Remote Control
I have been building Linux media center and one thing that was missing was a great remote control. I was impressed with Fiire Chief remote, but it is too expensive and the Fiire company stopped making it ;( Then I found out that you can use Wiimote on Linux and that it costs 40$ on Ebay. This guide isn’t intended only for those with Media Centers, because you can use Wiimote as a remote for any desktop application, presentations or even games. There are some basic hardware requirement likes usb bluetooth dongle or bluetooth already built in your laptop and Nintendo Wiimote. This guide is more focused on Fedora but you can use it with OpenSuse, Arch and Ubuntu. The main difference is how to install tools, other things should be same. There is also an Ubuntu guide that you can use as parallel with this guide.

Probably not - you can probably do more. (Actual answer at the bottom of this message.) Bash it self doesn't have a command line limit AFAIK; the shells will all allow you to enter lines as long as you like subject to available memory. It was the case that ARG_MAX limited the total size of program arguments plus environment strings, but recent linux kernals have made that dynamic; not unlimited, sadly, but much much larger than it was; I forget the criteria. The result of this is that on a Linux system it is now much less likely that users will hit the command line limit. However, there still is one, so while users get more and more careless the number of scripts that can break slowly grows. On the other hand, it may contribute to making xargs a much less used command, and that is generally good, since I routinely see it misused in scripts by people who don't understand what it does and why it exists. Seriously, I've seen it shoved into the middle of pipelines just because:-( Anyway, man 2 execve ought to answer this question. And indeed, I see it has a secion entitled Limits on size of arguments and environment which talks about ARG_MAX and how that doesn't apply from kernels 2.6.23 onwards.

I have a habit of building from source things that aren't in the distro packages. And, now that I think of it, they don't have a binary for ppc. One of the source packages they provide comes with all the dependencies, and I don't recognize a couple of them. freetype and w3c-libwww were installed, redland was not, but was in the regular repos. Parts of Mesa seem to be installed, other parts seem to be n the repositories. I suppose the quickest way to find out if it's enough is to try building it. yum search wxWidgets gives me a list of stuff like bacula-console- wxwidgets, compat-wxGTK26, and, hmm. Maybe that would be wxBase and wxGTK and wxGTK-gl and wxGTK-media, which are already installed. I needed the -devel versions of gtk2 and Mesa-libGl (I think they were) in addition to what I already had, then the configure script ran to completion. Just to be helpful, I installed bison and the gnu fortran compiler. And I think there was one other -devel package that I had to intuit from the configure script's messages (using yum search). Anyway, it looks confusing, and I guess I was hoping there would be someone on the list here who has used it recently and could tell me the lay of the land before I wade in. Well, I guess I'll try building it after the family is all in bed. Or maybe set the build going now, before I start washing the dishes. Or maybe get the RPM, since it looks possible that I have all the dependencies, now that I've looked again. Took me a little longer to get at it than I thought, but I did try compiling, and ended up with a lot of compiler error messages about things not declared correctly and such. Then the X11 session ran wild and I had to use the virtual terminal to kill the entire X11 login (KDE) to get it back. So I didn't get a chance to grab the error messages this time.

install F11 ON a USB-HDD
Hi, I installed F11 on a USB-HDD. I used a network-install-CD and allowed the installer to use the entire disk. I did not change the partition layout. I installed the bootloader to the same USB-drive. The installation seemed to be successful, but I cannot boot from this USB-HDD.WHen I turn on the computer, it reads a bit from the USB-HDD, abd then it boots immediately from the built in HDD. In general, I can boot from this USB-HDD, e.g., When I transfer a LiveCD to the same USB-HDD, it boots. fdisk /dev/sdc produced the output: The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 77825.

Re: Partitioning FC11 ??
A kernel developer, I think from Red Hat, said on a list that lvm is 2% slower than a physical partition. Considering the obsession some folks have with performance, that seems like an awful lot to give up for some flexibility which really may not be at all helpful to some users. The reason for the overhead is basically that when you send the command over the wire to the actual disk, you have to give it an absolute Logical Block Address - relative to the beginning of the whole hard drive. Hard disk drives don't know from partitions or logical volumes. To convert a partition offset into a disk offset, you just add the starting sector of the disk. To get that starting sector, you have to look it up in a data structure that's maintained by the disk driver. I don't know how LVM is implemented, but I imagine there are some extra layers of indirection that enable that flexibility. The data structures involved will be more complex, as will be the code. They will also be more likely to be buggy as well. I've been setting up a bunch of partitions to run virtual machines on, for cross-platform development. While it's a PITA to keep repartitioning my RAID 5, I figure the extra effort is worth it for that consistently 2% faster disk I/O.

It used to be that you could take a circuitous route to get to a page that would allow you file a bug on red hat bugzilla, but clicking on the 'file a new bug' link takes me to a page that has vaguely described search fields - vague in that it's not clear what you're supposed to search on and there's no explanation - entering the exact words you suggested took me to a failed to find page with no clue as to what to do next...there are no instructions, vaguely defined fields, and inscrutable results. I would like to file bugs, but, it's been like this for awhile now and I've complained before, but nobody seems to respond when I raise the problem. I'm no newbie, but an old guy - I've been running Linux on multiple machines for 7 years, and I'm a network administrator in a Windows shop, so I'm familiar with computers, but bugzilla just seems to get harder and harder - how can you expect people to participate if it's this time-consuming to simply find the way to enter the bug? I'm not trying to vent on you, Richard... I know the contributions you make. But, if there's anyone you can pass this complaint along to, or if someone can point out to me the big obvious solution that's staring me in the face and I'm just blocking on, I would be glad to file a bug. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- 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

F10 machine locking up several times a day
