Maybe related to this?

  
http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/317416/kernel_2_6_31_speed_up_linux_desktop?rid=-219

It is described as an improvement, so maybe you are seeing something else.

Re: Why does laptop battery show < 100% charge

This is something that has been driving me crazy over the last several

I would appreciate any ideas as to why this is the case.  There have been no
power outages so it seems to me there is no reason my battery should show <

In case it makes a difference I'm running wireless on a 3945ABG.  The
processor is a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200  @ 2.00GHz


This may be down to the bios software. I run my laptop (a Dell Inspiron

the battery charge gradually declines over the months, but the battery 
doesn't charge unless I unplug the AC briefly while the computer in on, 
which prompts the machine to charge the battery fully.

I have exactly same functions in my Dell Inspiron 1545 Both in Fedora
11 and Vista Battery gradually decrease % of charge when continuously
even when plugged to AC. When powered off when I plug the AC adapter
battery does not get charge if the battery level is above 95%.

grub in mbr needs bootable flag

[Herbert Gasiorowski]

Im using a kickstart installation with my own partitioning.
I had no problems with Fedora 10 but now on f11 grub will not start without a 
bootable flag set on any partition.


It nearly looks as if grub is installed in some partition but I am quite shure 
that the old MSDOS MBR is overwritten.


Is there a way to check if grub is installed in the MBR?
Or is it a bug in grub?

(kickstart option is: "bootloader --location=mbr")

Once you have fixed the kernel modules, the vmware-vmx engine runs just 
fine.


But the management interface is very unstable under F11.
After almost every change, the browser and the vi client hang or
can no longer connect.

"service vmware-mgmt restart" fixes it, but it has to be done too often.

I already downgraded one machine running VMware Server 2.0.1
from F11 to F10, and that fixed the problem permanently.
Does anyone see this problem too, and/or have a fix for it?

I had mis-remembered.  What it actually said (page 10, if you have LXF 124, 
November) was that the firewall by default turns of multicasting.  The 
'comment' is a bit of a rant, saying that if something as vital as this is 
disabled there should be some way of alerting you to it.

That rules out SELinux, then.  If you haven't done so, check firewalls - but I 
think someone already told you to do that.

I'm hardly one to defend Apple and their policies. I have been using
Fedora PPC installations on old iMacs for many years now and am hardly a
fan of OSX but your information is wrong.

Less than a week ago, Apple issued Security Update 2009-005 which
included updates for both Leopard (10.5.x) and Tiger (10.4.x) which you
can clearly see here...

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3865

So your claim of 'unsupported' is not entirely accurate. I am unsure how
long Apple will be releasing updates for Tiger and Leopard and clearly
if you have a PPC based Macintosh, your days are numbered but they are
still supported. I'm never quite convinced of Apple's commitment to
security anyway and support is always just a credit card payment
away. ;-)

Problem in reboot for preupgrade F9 -> F10

[Ambrogio]

Hi all
I run the preupgrade software from F9 to F10.

After the reboot I obtain a window in which I have an anaconda 11.4.1.62
exception report.
I cant write the report because it was not able to write to disk.

In the text terminal I can read:

rpmdb: Program version 4.5 doesn't match environment version 0.128
error: db4 error(-30972) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: database
environment version mismatch
error: cannot open Packages index using db3
error: cannot open Packages database in /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/rpm

I tried to rebuild the rpm db as seen in some google search removing the
__db.* and then rebuild them with rpm --rebuilddb, but all that was done
by fedora 9.

I think I should use rpm from fedora 10 to have the right db, but I
can't imagine how to pause the installer.

Another chance could be to start the installer without the __db*, but I
don't know if rpm rebuild the database before to start the upgrade
process.

Can someone point me to the right solution?
Tnx
 Ambrogio

Here, the /dev/pts/1 is the tty of a virtual machine.  This virtual
machine is created by xen.
Yes, I have come across master and slave pseudo terminals, but I have

There is no setup, I created the virtual machine, and then found its
tty. and executed the command from other terminal "t1" as specified
earlier.

I have done, what you suggested, it's the same.  Anyways my requirement
is that, after the command is executed on /dev/pts/1, I should be able
to get the return value on the terminal "t1"

eg:
rc=`echo "service httpd status" > /dev/pts/1"
I thought rc will hold the return value, but it displays nothing.

This is the nano released in the past week or two?  AIUI, the database
has format has changed a good bit on these models, it's much more like
the database on the iPhone and iPod Touch.  One of the libgpod guys

This was an excellent suggestion.  It turns out that the solution was here:
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok/2009-July/008876.html

By simply 'touch'-ing the affected directories, the collection scanner
picked up the missing tracks.  All seems OK now, thanks!

How to use fedora-11 source dvd?

[Abhishek Sharma]

Hi,

I accidentally downloaded the fedora-11-source-DVD, instead of downloading
the bootable version of fedora.
Now I have few doubts regarding this DVD.

1. Can I use it to install fedora?
2. Can I use it to install packages contained in it?

if yes then please let me know how.


Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Sharma

No, the contents of the DVD is source code. You'd need to bootstrap the
whole system from source before you would be able to install it.

Just download the binary DVD.

I'm sorry to tell you that you cannot.

> 2. Can I use it to install packages contained in it?

You can install packages from the source DVD, but they are the source
rpms, not the binary rpms.  They would not be useful for running any
of the programs that the binary packages provide.  The source packages
are useful for inspecting the source code and patches used to create
Fedora, or if you want to customize them or fix bugs in the packaging.

I have used Eclipse and Netbeans for quite some time.
I don't know much about 'IcedTea6'.

My experience with Eclipse has been pretty good although
there are problems and you can get around these problems
if you know what to do.  For example, when downloading and
installing plugins or modules, not 'everything' is installable.
You have to know what it is that you need, where to get it,
and from a URI's that may not be present in your Eclipse
software list.

Takes some getting used to and sometimes there are nuances
such as the older Eclipse versions did not have smooth handling
of downloads without hanging due to disconnects and had to
be manually restarted.  They have improved on this problem with
Galileo.  Eclipse's Ganymede does not run on F11 because XULRunner
API has changed however, Fedora's Ganymede works on F11 only
because a patch has been applied to work with the new XULRunner APIs.

As for Netbeans, it is different from Eclipse in organization
and in operation.  But I do like it.  Both Eclipse and Netbeans
takes some getting used to and has somewhat a steep learning
curve depending on what you want to do.

There are plenty of tutorials and examples for both.

AS for CVS, other than setting up a repository, which can
be tough, it works very well on both IDEs.

Of the SVN problems, I found that the major problems
I was faced with is the the different flavours of SVN
clients and it varies, can cause confusion and the methods
of installing it, whether it is via Maven, via Tigris.org, or provided
eclipse.  I find that the Eclipse subclipse does not work
for me.

For example, to use the tigris site, one should NOT install
eclipse's svn clients at all including SVNKit, anything that
"smells" of subclipse, instead to download entirely from
tigris.org and of the right version.

The other problem is, make sure you choose the right
version of svn that your repository is using, be it v1.4x
or v1.6x. Make sure that subversion itself is properly
installed, Once you get your ducks lined up properly,
it works.  It is not easy at first, but once you have it,
you're ready to go.

What if you have both versions of repositories such
as a local repository of v1.4x and a remote repository
of v1.6x, what to do?  I have not encountered this
myself, and I would wonder how one gets around this
problem as you cannot have both subclipse versions in
the same Eclipse code base.  It is quite possible to have
Eclipse installed in one physical area containing the v1.4x
subclipse and yet have another Eclipse (same version)
installed in another physical area containing v1.6x, and it
seems like a painful way to go about it, but at least it could
work. I have not tried this myself.

The problems of subversion exist for both IDEs
as it takes getting used to each IDE's svn clients as
they are different in organization and use.

And like any tool, each has their strengths and weaknesses
and I use one, the other, or both, depending on what I
am doing.

FWIW,
Dan

If it only were that easy.
The problem is that many FAQs omit secondary steps.
Also there may be secondary requirements such an environment variable.

if I recall correctly, you had to update yum in Fedora 9 because a
change was made during the lifetime of Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 used the
newer version of the RPM database. If you can reboot into Fedora 9
instead and run (as root), 'yum update yum', this would probably fix it.

Again, I am going from memory here...it's been a while.

Since it appeared the boot process was complete except for starting X I
tried doing ssh from another box and was able to log on and start
system-config-display. As I couldn't remember exactly what the video
"card" was -- it's some onboard thing on the motherboard -- I tried each
of the two video card options that seemed familiar: nv (the nvidia
options) and intel (Intel integrated graphics chipsets.) The "nv" option
didn't work -- the boot hung as before. But with "intel" I was able to
get the login screen and my desktop.

The problem is that now my highest resolution is 1024 X 768 and I'd like
to have the my old higher resolutions (like 1280 X 1024) back. How do I
do this?

Ops... my fedora 9 is uptodated.
I don't see update for a long time

I can't understand what is appens.
I used also the terminal 2 from the anaconda to rebuild the rpm database
with:
# rm -f /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/rpm/__db*
# rpm --root /mnt/sysimage --rebuilddb

but this didn't solve the problem.

The Lenovo power monitor on the XP side of my dual-boot laptop

I've been considering filing an RFE for the GNOME power manager applet

Yes, I poked holes to allow the samba and ipp clients through, as well as the 
ipp server. Trouble is, I do not understand what to look for. How do I trouble 
shoot when the messages in /var/log/messages do not appear to be beyond the 
information I provided. Is there any other place to look at?

The ubuntu machine seems to do just fine in discovering the network printers: I 
am just trying to understand what is going on here.

Best wishes,
T

OK What's the best way to request that?  Would it get generated as a
consequence of the power manager RFE?  Or should I file it separately?
Anything special about kernel feature requests?

Fonts ??

[Jim]

Fedora 11/KDE4.3

I have wine running a program in FC11/KDE4.3 when it's displayed the 
fonts are all messed up on Fedora/KDE.
Wine doesn't supply fonts for display in Fedora and below is the Fonts I 
have installed on Fedora, What could I be missing in the way of Fonts to 
display this Windows Program "FullTiltPoker"


What about TrueType Fonts, where do you get them for Fedora ?

Fedora 11 - Kernel 2.6.29 to 2.6.31

[Ramesh.R]

Hi Everybody,

We are having the x86 PC with Fedora 11 ( which comes with kernel 2.6.29)
installed.

Now we want to upgrade its Kernel to 2.6.31.

We tried as per the 'README' installation notes comes with the 2.6.31
kernel, but failed in our attempt. Could you please help us on upgrading
Kernel 2.6.31 to our Fedora 11 environment.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Ramesh

The latest kernel on Fedora is a 2.6.30 version. Why do you need 2.6.31? In any 
case, if you really need that, you may get it from the rawhide repository.

yum --enablerepo rawhide install kernel

HTH,
T

The current kernel for F11 is 2.6.30.5-43  (Do a "yum update" in order
to get it.)

That means it is a full 2.6.30.5 kernel with a number of patches applied
by Fedora that could come from development kernels upstream (could be
bug fixes, could be new functionality...).  What is it you think you
need in a 2.6.31 kernel?  And do you know that it isn't already in the
2.6.30.5-43 that Fedora provides?

one of the problems with an active list is that you don't always know
whose advice to follow and who is just taking shots in the dark.

When it comes to printing ALWAYS follow Tim Waugh's advice because he is
Red Hat/Fedora printing man. As far as I can tell, you ignored his
advice and chased down everyone else's.

You probably haven't enabled your system to discover network servers but
I think Tim suggested that you run the 'printing troubleshooter'

THanks very much for your help Guys.

But !! It's Called  FreeType1 Fonts from your Fedora Repo or is it 
Rpmfusion.org?


So if you ever run Wine it would pay to Install FreeType1 Fonts.

* Make sure your computer connection to the Internet works fine.

* Open a terminal (Menu, Applications, System tools, Terminal) and
write (exactly), it will ask you for your password. Enter it:

su -

* write (exactly):

yum -y update kernel

* That's it. Good luck...

Hi,

I did not know that Tim was the printing man, but I did run the "printing 
troubleshooter" (which for me is the Troubleshoot button on 
system-config-printer, is that the right thing?) Sorry to be naive, but how 
does one enable the system to discover network servers?

Thanks very much, everybody, for all the help and advice.

Alt + f4 switches to virtual terminal

[Philip Munksgaard]

Hi

I installed Fedora 11 today on my laptop, and i'm quite liking it so far.

I have one small problem though: When i try to close windows by pressing alt
+ f4, i Fedora switches to a virtual terminal, as if i was pressing ctrl +
alt + f4. And it's the same with all function keys.
This is quite annoying, and i'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like
that, so i figured i might ask for help here.

Apart from all that, i've also noticed that alt + left/right arrow switches
terminals as well.

Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?
I'd be very glad if anyone could help me resolve this issue, as it's quite
annoying getting thrown into a terminal every few minutes...

Thanks in advance
Philip

This is almost certainly a function of your desktop environment, but you
don't say what it is (KDE?, Gnome?, other?).

If it's in the MBR, when you do this:

dd if=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512 2>/dev/null | strings | grep GRUB

It should say "GRUB" - if it doesn't, it's not there.

Does it get as far as the “[  OK  ]” at the end of that line? If not,
then blame Wine. If it has the “[  OK  ]”, then it could be the next
script. Check in /etc/rc5.d to see what’s next:
ls /etc/rc5.d | grep -A1 S98wine | tail -n 1

Having said that, the only “next” script in my install is the
essentially empty S99local, after which Fedora starts X. You could put
an
echo Hello
into S99local, to see if it gets that far. I suspect it will.

The next thing to try (if that “OK” did come up) is booting 2.6.30
without rhgb, reboot when it hangs, and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old 

Firstly do a ls -l on it to check that the log actually comes from the
time when you booted the 2.6.30 kernel, then look at the file itself to
see how far it gets. Compare with the Xorg.0.log file (which should be
from your successful 2.6.29 boot).

You may want to report back here, but you’re getting near the point
where you’ll have to bugzilla it.

Hope this helps,

James.

Was that supposed to be general advice? (If so, thank-you – but I’m not
sure why it was necessary.)

Or did you feel that there was some mis-information being given out? In
which case, a general link to a site doesn’t make your point – we can’t
tell, looking at that site, what your point was. And few readers will
have the time to follow every helpful link.

So could you elucidate further?

Probably a silly question, but do you have two “Alt” keys on your
keyboard? Does it work the same if you use either “Alt” key?

This is a great example of why packaging *isn’t* something that can be
done automatically. The installer is in the same position as an RPM
package.

To make the installer “fire and forget”, HP had to put a lot of work
into making it “just detect” things. RPM does it better, but you still
need to put the effort into creating the package so that it’s simple to
use for the package end-user.

Dumb question - Is this a new install on a machine that had been
running Fedora 10, or is this another machine? The reason I ask is
that I have run into BIOSs that will not boot if one partition is
not marked bootable.

Ah, ok. I have not used such a setup. However, it looks like Xen
arranges the master slave setup. What it presents is like a crossover
terminal connection. /dev/pts/1 is cross wired to the temrinal inside the Xen
VM; functionally it will behave like the "master" side of a pseudo tty.
Internally it will really be a pseudoterminal, with Xen as the master,
and Xen passes stuff through to the VM for you.

As, indeed, you have shown it does.

| I thought rc will hold the return value, but it displays nothing.

Ok.

I believe, based on your description, that reading from /dev/pts/1
will collect the output you want.

Try this:

  tee -a output.log /dev/null &
  teepid=$!
  echo "service httpd status" >/dev/pts/1
  sleep 5
  kill $teepid

and then look at the file output.log.

Your `echo  >/dev/pts/1` incantation did not contain the output
because it collects the output of "echo" (specificly, any output not
send elsewhere; your >/dev/pts/1 sends it elsewhere and so the output
is empty).

Nothing was reading from the pty.

What my suggestion above does is start a "tee" command in the background
to read from the pty and copy the data to the file output.log. Then
we run your echo, to run the command on the VM. Then we wait a few
seconds. Then we kill the "tee" command.

Commentry:

- a simpler command than the "tee" would be:
cat /dev/pts/1 >output.log &
  however, "cat" (like almost all other programs) will be buffering its
  output for efficiency purposes, so it will never write to output.log
  before we kill it. "tee" does not buffer.

- the output recorded in output.log (if the above stuff works for you)
  will be the data stream sent to the terminal. That is, it will
  probably end lines with both CR and NL characters. Many rc files
  will emit coloured text in their output if on a terminal; your
  output.log file will contain the terminal escape sequences used to
  drive those colours. And so forth.

- you have no real indication of when the "service httpd status" command
  finishes, hence the dodgy "sleep 5" above.

You would be far better connecting to the VM with a remote command tool
like ssh.

  "I don't see why not.  It's got bloody well everything else."

  With that, the Chief Priest went to lunch.  The novice suddenly achieved

GoogleEarthLinux and Fedora11

[Claude Jones]

Maybe I should have left well enough alone, but I decided to install the 
latest GoogleEarth this morning; ver 4 was working well, but I had experienced 
some features from ver 5 in Windows that I liked. There were no error messages 
during the install but if I try to run it I get: 

googleearth
./googleearth-bin: ./libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found 
(required by ./libgoogleearth_lib.so)
./googleearth-bin: ./libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found 
(required by ./libbase.so)

If I query my installed programs:

rpm -qa | grep libstdc++
libstdc++-4.4.1-2.fc11.i586
libstdc++-devel-4.4.1-2.fc11.i586

Surely, GoogleEarth does not require that I regress that lib version, does it? 
Anyone have ver5 running under Fedora11? Or, has glibcxx been removed from 
libstdc++? I'm not sure how to continue this investigation - any help 
appreciated...

I have rebooted my system and after that I cannot log-in to my system
using the graphical interface. After I hit my username and enter the
password the screen turns black for a brief and then the login screen
appears again.
I switched to a text terminal and checked the "/var/log/messages".
Here are the related lines:
Sep 18 08:20:47 TestField pam: gdm-password[2308]:

Sep 18 08:20:49 TestField kernel: [drm] DAC-6: set mode 1280x1024 16

As you can see Xorg segfaults.

Has enybody encountered such an error?
What can be done in this case?

Regards,
Simion Onea.

try 'yum search libstdc++'

you will find older 'compatibility' libraries which are probably what is
required.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518748, especially the
later comments.  There is an update that you can download directly
from koji.

Thanks a lot Jonathan!

It really helped. Commenting out the line 19 in /usr/bin/compiz-gtk
solved the issue!

Best regards,
Simion.
