Re: Adding builders without NFS access

I believe that currently any koji builder needs to have read-only access to
/mnt/koji, normally realized by NFS mounting.  I am wondering if there is a
way to add builders to a koji instance without requiring this.


This is entirely possible and has been in place for years I think. As 
Jesse points out, you need to make sure any builders that lack the nfs 
mount are not in the createrepo channel.


Also, you need to make sure you have the builders configured for http 
access. That means you need to set topurl instead of topdir in the 
config as well as setting the pkgurl option. Of course that means your 
kojidir must be http accessible from somewhere.


I should also point out that the shared fs need not be accomplished by 
nfs (though this is arguably the easiest method). There are multiple 
ways of sharing a filesystem across machines.

  fine).
 
I switched to 32 bit mozilla.org 3.0pre (on x64 install of f11) and
  the problems went away.
 
The beta 4 (from updates-testing) started the indexing thing - and
  then it took 100% cpu and memory growth went to 3.5 GiB - after a period
  memory use fell to 200 MiB, cpu declined .. then it repeated this cycle
  several times .. i left this for 6 hours - eventually tb locked up and
  left a dirty screen image - stuck - cpu usage went to 0 for TB. I had to
  hand kill it.
 
Installing the stock mozilla 386 build has no such problems.
 
I suspect there is some 64 very unclean code underlying the problem.
  Tho it could be beta 4 versus pre as well
 
  Gee. Here I am messaging you on TB 3.0b4 on a x86_64 machine with TB
 3.0b4
  x86_64 from updates-testing. Your message was in a folder with 1367 other
  email messages. Indexing worked fine. I don't see any spikes in CPU or
  memory usage. No other bugs in b4 at the moment. It's the best version
 yet.
 
  You might want to delete your .thunderbird directory and try again.

 b4 is working fine for me to (x86_64) have not noticed any regressions
 compared to b3.

2009/9/28 Josh Boyer jwbo...@gmail.com:
 Hi All,

 As of today, ppc and ppc64 are no longer primary architectures in koji 
 starting
 with the dist-f13 tag.  This is in accordance with the FESCo approved demotion
 of PowerPC starting with Fedora 13 development.

 The dist-f12 and older tags continue to have them as primary.

 Happy building.

What do we have to do in order to build on PPC? Does it happen automagically?

 recently been implemented into httpd's mod_ssl, but SNI is not present
 in mod_nss[3]. If we abandon mod_ssl for mod_nss, we would lose this
 functionality.
 
 [snip]

 Is this even a fair and reasonable goal unless the NSS upstream is
 really interested in becoming a superset of the functionality offered
 by the other crypto libraries?  (I don't know for surethat NSS' goal
 is not to— but I think thats unlikely. It's hard to even start a
 comparison because NSS doesn't appear to have developer documentation
 covering low level cryptographic functions)
   
That is basically the goal. For the most port NSS is already there,
though there is stuff in NSS, like server side SNI which hasn't been
implemented.
 Is it reasonable when other package upstreams may not find the
 licensing of NSS to be acceptable (i.e. an upstream which is 100% BSD
 for it and all its dependencies), or would prefer not to use NSS for
 stylistic reasons— Would fedora carry patches for these applications
 in perpetuity?
   
Why would a 100% BSD package have problem with MPL?
 It's not even clear to me what exactly some of these goals mean i.e.
 Get a cert using Firefox, use it in SSH when ssh doesn't (normally)
 use X.509 certificates.
   
This is actually a problem for some customers;).

Re: crypto consolidation status?

 I read the wiki page[1] on Fedora's effort to consolidate all the
 crypto libraries. Quite an ambitious task! FWN [2] reported on the
 rather large discussion back in '07, but I didn't see any resolution.
 Is this still a goal for Fedora? The main wiki page hasn't been edited
 in almost a year (although the scorecard is still being maintained).
   
It's on-going. Right now we are focused on 2 things:

1) Trying to remove the impediments for applications to go to NSS (as
much as is practical).
2) Moving most of core applications we need to NSS.

Dictating moves of upstream projects is not helpful. Finding those
things that prevent upstreams from at least using NSS as an option are.
We've been most successful when we provide upstream patches which allow
them to build for their choice of crypto toolkits.
 The reason I bring all of this up is that Server Name Indication has
 recently been implemented into httpd's mod_ssl, but SNI is not present
 in mod_nss[3]. If we abandon mod_ssl for mod_nss, we would lose this
 functionality.
   
Currently there are also a half dozen features in mod_nss that aren't in
mod_ssl.  SNI is definately something that would be welcomed in NSS, and
would probably be implemented by the NSS team itself if it's not
contributed first;), particularly if it got added to the list of
impediments.

 Per the Fedora 12 Schedule¹, mass branching for Fedora 12 will happen on

 notification when it has been decided.
 

Reminder, the mass branching will be happening tonight.  The first phase
is already happening which does not require an outage.  When it is done
(and I get back online this evening) I'll start the outage and
branching.  An outage notice will go out as I prepare to start.

Once the ppc builders are setup and running smoothly, successful build

which will include ppc.  You'll need to do nothing specific on your end

The s390x and sparc ports use koji-shadow to my knowledge.  This goes through
and finds builds in the primary koji instance that are missing in the secondary
arch instance and rebuilds them for the secondary arch.

If a public ppc koji instance gets setup, it will use the same tools.

sugar-pippy dependencies

2009-09-28 Thread Bernie Innocenti
Hello,

the sugar-pippy rpm in Fedora depends on pygame, which is used by some
of the examples.

So far, so good, but pygame in turn depends on numpy, a 7.7MB package
which a lot of huge dependencies such as atlas (11MB), libgfortran
(1MB), blas (700KB) and python-nose (1MB).

The rest of Sugar is now free of numpy, so it would be good if we could
get rid of it completely.  One quick solution would be splitting the
problematic examples to a sugar-pippy-examples-extra package.

Another possibility -- probably the cleanest -- would be splitting the
optional classes surfarray and sndarray to a subpackage of pygame.

How does one add to this impediments list? I wasn't sure from the wiki page.

It is not just the scorecard that's unclear - it was also confusing to
see Apache marked as Done (mod_nss ) .[1] If that's true, what do
all of these open httpd/apr bugs ([2],[3],[4],[5]) mean? On a related
note, Joe didn't seem too enthusiastic about PHP, either [6].

bitmap-fonts by default?

2009-09-28 Thread Jens Petersen
We have been looking at updating bitmap-fonts recently,
and noticed that it is still listed mandatory in the comps
@base-x group.

So I just wondered a couple of naive questions:

- does bitmap-fonts have to be installed by default?
- what actually needs it?

--- Comment #3 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mail...@laposte.net  2009-09-28

maintenance-wise, I think the simpler solution is to create a separate package
for the Adobe stuff and have the miriad other packages that use it require or
buildrequire it.

This way at least the legal bits will be traced properly and we'll be sure all
our apps use the same CID values

Screenshot on ghostscript

I still need to investigate further more and this may mislead to get the right
thing perhaps but just tried the vertical writing on ghostscript-8.70-1.fc12.
and it looks good to me.

Coming questions would be:
1. How OOo render for the vertical writing. e.g. referring the vert table in
TTF or anything else
2. How about gs?

just for updates.

What makes you think 'fc-match times roman' should match a serif font?  There
are two relevant names, one is times, the other is times new roman.  There
is no such family named times roman.

Re: Heuristica metadata problem

 Hi,

 While reviewing the output of the automated tests we run on our
 packages, I noticed Heuristica Bold Italic trips our metadata sanity
 test because it declares “BoldItalic” (no space) instead of the modern
 “Bold Italic” (space).

BTW Edrip has the same problem

bitmap-fonts by default?

2009-09-28 Thread Jens Petersen
We have been looking at updating bitmap-fonts recently,
and noticed that it is still listed mandatory in the comps
@base-x group.

So I just wondered a couple of naive questions:

- does bitmap-fonts have to be installed by default?
- what actually needs it?

Introduction

2009-09-28 Thread l...@williams-freelancing.co.uk
Hi,

Looking at the wiki it says to introduce myself.

Well here goes...

I'm married with 3 kids (aged 4, 2, 1 :D)... full time job but I do get time to
spare surprisingly  I love my family to pieces they mean the world to me.

I've been working in IT for 10yrs now all in a Microsoft DOS / Windows based
environment, starting with development in FoxBASE and FoxPro and moving through
the versions to visual fox.  I've not attended university but have never had a
problem with reading / googlin' bits to learn new things; I do get quite a kick
from picking up new to me technologies and helping to solve problems. 

Currently I work full time as a Visual Studio developer with Technology
Management Ltd. in the UK developing .NET applications for the WinCE / Windows
Mobile based mobile device market.  Those applications are mainly written in C#
but we do have a significant VB.net code base.

Following the latest Microsoft based OS crash at home a rebuild has become
necessary which I started this weekend - yesterday in fact, so I made the choice
to make Linux my main OS; to be fair it should've been from when I dabbled with
Fedora 7 and 8 thereafter... still... my foot has gone down, and my wife is
scheduled a tour of Fedora at the weekend ;)  

I have recently bootstrapped myself to other languages C / C++ and php for web
work I'm finding this interesting to say the least.  I do have some experience
with Apache and MySQL (obviously the strong knowledge I have in Internet
Information Services and SQL Server have been somewhat transferable).  It looks
like I need to add python to the list of things to learn and this is something
I've been mulling over so may just make that leap. 

From all of that I'm hoping you can tell that whilst I have very little
experience with 'nix environments I am keen to learn just need some guidance on
where to go to pick that up.

Away from PC's (if there ever is such time) I play guitar - well I play guitar,
banjo, and mandolin to be honest.  The last two I'm not so hot at but I can
hold my own - to coin a phrase - on the guitar.  I also love to read; and have
- of all things - recently started dabbling in magic and performance thereof
but... now I'm rambling :D

I look forward to helping in whatever way I can.  I'm looking for a good place
to start, I'm obviously following the wiki, reading up when I can, and of course
getting my own Fedora environment setup (although I do have one running in
VirtualBox at work to satiate the 'nix desires whilst I'm at work :D).

I'm am currently hoping to help in the sysadmin-devel FIG.

So hello nice to meet and greet, and I hope you're well.

Actually... *Fredericksburg*, VA would be the best possible stop.  I
can pick you up whenever you arrive that way.  Otherwise we have to
start coordinating times with the folks arriving at the airport on
Thursday night and it gets ugly.  The F'burg train station is just a
few minutes from where I live, and I believe there's a standard stop
there for Amtrak.  Let me know off-list if that's not the case and
we'll figure it out.

Hi,

I'm writing this e-mail for explain why I'm away from the group,
avoiding bad speculations about my collaborations to Fedora Project.

When I've started to try to help this team, I thought that my
knowledge was enough to do those things that you do. But I've
discovered that I need more experience and technical knowledge to do
that.

To not leave the project, I tried to find something that I could do
better. So, I joined to Ambassadors' groups and to the Brazil
Infrastructure group. And, right now, I'm evangelizing the project for
people from communities that I participate, and helping the Brazilian
infra team with theirs web services.

That doesn't means that I'll give up to try to help here, or leave
this group. But now, I'm preparing myself, learning more about this
project and this team, for come back and try again.

Sorry about something that I did.

Thanks,

No problems!  Working on Fedora Infrastructure can be a big commitment
of learning as well as time.  Helping the Brazilian Infrastructure group
is as big a help to the project as a whole as working on the
Infrastructure that we're hosting in PHX so no need to feel bad about
anything :-)

I assume you won't be doing stuff at 18:40-ish on Friday. Because,  
unfortunately that's when I get home (15:40-ish back here on the West

If you could make like a rough outline of what happened on Friday at  
the end of the day, that'd be great, because I would probably end up  
being completely confused over everything, having missed Friday's

exactly where problem laid. I used rambler.ru here in Moscow, Russia.
And they have the same reputation of 'screwing around with their
system on weekends without telling anybody' ;-) My solution was to
sign up in gmail, then set up my old address as 'reply-to' in gmail
and forward all messages to the new mailbox from the old one. You
could then unsubscribe the old address from list-messages and
subscribe for it on the new one.
Hope that helps. In my opinion gmail is the best mail-provider I've
ever used. But I use web-mail, not programs like evolution or kmail...

Hmm. That's roughly true, looking at the header Ed forwarded to me:

  Cc: =?us-ascii?Q?=3D=3FISO-8859-1=3FQ=3F_Community=5Fassistance=2C_=5Fenco?=
   =?us-ascii?B?dXJhZ2VtZW50LCA9MDlhbmRfYWR2aWNlX2Zvcl8/PSA9P0lTTy04ODU5LTE/?=
   =?us-ascii?B?UT91c2luZ19GZWRvcmEu?= ?= fedora-list@redhat.com

except for the final ?= which seems a bit bogus.

However, I think you'll agree is looks pretty horrible.

I've just saved your message to a new mbox and opened it.  Mutt presents it
just fine. Looking at it in the raw, Bruno's message looks fine except
for the CC: line, which is like this:

  Cc: =?us-ascii?Q?=3D=3FISO-8859-1=3FQ=3F_Community=5Fassistance=2C_=5Fenco?=
=?us-ascii?B?dXJhZ2VtZW50LCA9MDlhbmRfYWR2aWNlX2Zvcl8/PSA9P0lTTy04ODU5LTE/?=
=?us-ascii?B?UT91c2luZ19GZWRvcmEu?= ?= fedora-list@redhat.com

The most notable thing about this is that both the quotes and the commas
are 2407 encoded. So an un2407aware mailer will see just one address and
no quotes or commas.

Ed, how sure are you that TBird is handling that line correctly?
If it's breaking that up into multiple addresses, why?
There's two ways to approach this: parse in 822 style first, then
2407decode, which should produce one address; or 2407decode then 822
parse, which should produce one address.

I'm going to hand decode that line and check...  Ick.

Post decode, that line then contains more RFC207 content, including
commas. And no quotes:-(

So, it sounds like TBird decodes, then parses. And explodes in Ed's
face.

Bruno, I notice you're running mutt-1.5.18. I'm running 1.5.20 and it
produces much nicer results, which are visibly good to the human eye. In
fact it takes Frank's not properly 2407 encoded header and undoes it
and writes an unencoded address, nice and clear.

Maybe you could upgrade - it would save a lot of bickering:-)
Though a dig through the changelog doesn't show me a relevant looking
change:-(

Hmm. I just tried 1.5.18 on Frank's original message with the odd
rfc2407 stuff; it behaves just fine too.

I'd really like to know what happened to Bruno's setup.

Bruno, could you attach Frank's original message, as it is in _your_
mail folder, to your reply for inspection? I'd like to compare it
against my copy and the copy Ed sent me. I have trouble believing
they're all the same.

Re: missing dependency with qt4-devel for assistant-qt4

2009-09-28 Thread Hiisi
2009/9/28 Rob spamref...@yahoo.com:

 Hi,

 I planned to write a program with Qt, using the designer-qt4.

 Installing qt4-devel pulled in lots of other dependencies.

 When I started the designer-qt4 and clicked on 'help' in the menu, this
 opened assistant-qt4 completely empty: no contents and no index at all.

 It took me a while to figure out that apparently the qt-doc had not been
 installed. Installing qt-doc.noarch solved the problem.

 Therefore I assume that this is a missing dependency of qt4-devel,
 which comes with the assistant-qt4, but not automatically with the necessary
 documentation to make the assistant work!

 Rob.




I checked that on my F11-desktop. Here's the result.

# yum install qt4-devel
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

Re: How do you clear a botched kernel on a PPC system?

Don't you have some earlier kernel which still boots?  If that fails
too then maybe indeed your /sbin/init is messed up but that would
have nothing to do with kernels.



The previous kernel did work, as I mentioned in another post, but  
only when I went in, renamed it (and the three other files) and so  
forth, as I described in the other post. I've yum remove-d  
kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.ppc, and so it boots the old kernel and seems  
to run okay.


So if the init= parameter is not supposed to be the initrd file, the  
bug in yaboot (under this ibook's openfirmware) might be that it's  
trying to pass an init= parameter when none is specified on the boot  
line. Hmm.


I got a message back from the developers, from a comment I left where  
someone else reported this bug. Getting a fixed kernel is going to  
take a little time, they say.


In the meantime, I'm avoiding updating, to keep the kernel at the  
previous level, and hoping the kernel/userland level mismatch will  
not bomb me out of anything important.


Thanks.

  kmail setup with the message list pane left of the message pane, which
  puts the messages panes subject line not too far below the icons along the

 And when it pops up, it takes about a minute for it to go way, during which

 Can this be relocated to a point above the icon, or can the display timeout

 this?
 
It's not entirely clear which tooltip you are referring to, but go to

Why is the base architecture i586?

2009-09-28 Thread William M. Quarles
For years the Fedora developers have said that changing the base 
architecture for all of the packages from i386 to i586 would actually 
make the code less efficient for i686 processors due to the large bumber 
of bug workarounds in i586 code for many i586 processors. So does 
anybody know why this change was done?

 For years the Fedora developers have said that changing the base
 architecture for all of the packages from i386 to i586 would actually
 make the code less efficient for i686 processors due to the large bumber
 of bug workarounds in i586 code for many i586 processors. So does
 anybody know why this change was done?

You can usually look up the feature list for more details

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ArchitectureSupport

Much of the older hardware has become obsolete and unsupported
essentially in Fedora systems. Also because a lot of software specific
issues have been fixed over time.  Net result is that we get a bit of a
performance increase while not losing much.

This is again changing to i686 for Fedora 12

What you are calling dump is probably called kill in the Unix
world. And program is better spelled process.

So, a simple Google search for How do I kill a process in Linux?
will give you a lot of answers.

In a console:
  kill 666
(where 666 is the PID of the process)

Via GUI, it depends on GNOME, KDE, whatever you are using (it could be
Ctrl-Esc or similar key commands).

Re: missing dependency with qt4-devel for assistant-qt4

Hiisi wrote:

 2009/9/28 Rob spamref...@yahoo.com:

 I planned to write a program with Qt, using the designer-qt4.

 Installing qt4-devel pulled in lots of other dependencies.

 When I started the designer-qt4 and clicked on 'help' in the menu, this
 opened assistant-qt4 completely empty: no contents and no index at all.

 It took me a while to figure out that apparently the qt-doc had not been
 installed. Installing qt-doc.noarch solved the problem.

 Therefore I assume that this is a missing dependency of qt4-devel,
 which comes with the assistant-qt4, but not automatically with the
 necessary documentation to make the assistant work!
...
 I think you should fill a bug:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/index.cgi
 And ask the same question on devel-list (fedora-devel-l...@redhat.com).

I think I've got all the issues outlined here fixed in qt-4.5.2-20 in 
rawhide.  These fixes will be included in the next update for F-10/F-11 
(current plan is when qt-4.5.3 lands).

Going from ODF to MSOffice

2009-09-28 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

The powers that be want me off my nice clean and completely functional OS onto
that pile of ik from MS and part of that is getting my stuff from ODF to
Office (not sure if it's 2007 or 2003).

I know that I can export as MS Office, or do a bulk import of MS Office to ODF
via OOo, but can't do a bulk ODF to MS Office convert.

Is there a way to do this? Don't mind if it need another package.

Please don't say OOo is available for Win32 - I know it is, but the powers
that want me on Office :-(. Anyone who says Office2007 SP2 can import ODF,
please don't. It can't correct. It makes a mess of it!

TTFN

RE: gnome-terminal question

2009-09-28 Thread bruce
ok

took a look at the hoto that a few had referenced. it seems to apply to
xterm windows, as opposed to gnome terms, but i went ahead and attempted to
implement the escape sequences with no luck.. (could just be user error!)

i also attempted to try to modify the underlying conf files for
gnome-terminal, using the gconftool to dump the intial key/value pairs from
my test gnome-terminal profile.

steps:
1) create a test gnome profile
2) do a gconftool -- dump ./.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/test1 
testconf
(this gets a dump of the key/values for the test profile)
3) modify the title element/key in the dumped file..
4) do a load of the new/modified dumped file, to see if this gets
loaded in the current gnome-terminal with the changed title
-- gconftool --load testconf

the changed title is in the testconf file.
the gnome-terminal title is still the same, ie the changes i made aren't in
the
profile, although there was/were no error generated by the --load of the
conf file

i also reset the PROMPT-COMMAND to  just in the weird case it was somehow
resetting my changes...

i've seen a number of people who've had this same/similar question, with no
apparent solution...

i'm willing to create a short step-by-step process once this is solved!

 What have you tried?  If you post your trials, someone may spot a
 problem or we may be able to test it.

I think the problem is that PROMPT_COMMAND is setting it each command,
after you set it.  Either unset PROMPT_COMMAND or change it to do what
you want.

In many distros the key-combination ctrl-alt-Esc starts kill - producing a

application you want to kill.  If you change your mind, Esc gets you out of 
it.

The 'yes' response which was sent about a half hour - 45 minutes before
the second response arrived here about an hour after the second message
i.e. about 2 hours after sending.


 OK. We have here two messages from you, the second arrived about a
 half of an hour after the first one.
 

The second message, a reply to does it matter arrived first about 1-2
minutes after sending.

I also noticed that even for a thread that wasn't mine, I received a
users response about 1/2 an hour before I received the original post.

 
 Recently I had similar problem with my messages. But in my case I new
 exactly where problem laid. I used rambler.ru here in Moscow, Russia.
 And they have the same reputation of 'screwing around with their
 system on weekends without telling anybody' ;-) My solution was to
 sign up in gmail, then set up my old address as 'reply-to' in gmail
 and forward all messages to the new mailbox from the old one. You
 could then unsubscribe the old address from list-messages and
 subscribe for it on the new one.
 Hope that helps. In my opinion gmail is the best mail-provider I've
 ever used. But I use web-mail, not programs like evolution or kmail...

For the time being I am going to drop the issue, as things seem to be
straightening out.

Just for future reference, and to add to my own personal knowledge, I
wish I had a better idea of what was going on.  I have wasted 2 or 3
hours try to figure out what I did wrong when I probably haven't done
anything I shouldn't have.  It would be nice to be able to recognize the
source of this kind of problem.

 hey...

 trying to solve an issue on changing the title of the current gnome-terminal
 session.

 how does one go about changing the title of the current gnome-terminal via
 the cmdline...

 i'm trying to figure out if you can use escape sequences, or modifying the
 profile for the terminal.

 trying some of the escape sequences from different web sites haven't
 worked...

 thoughts/comments/pointers appreciated...

Follow the instructions at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title.html. You
don't say which shell you're using, but using the default bash shell,
you can do this:

$ echo -ne \033]0;A New Title\007

You'll probably need to unset the PROMPT_COMMAND value first;

$ export PROMPT_COMMAND=

 i'm running fedora 9

You know that's unsupported, right? I strongly recommend upgrading.

I was able to run OpenOffice 'headless' and batch convert using Alfresco

I would probably suggest that you check the openoffice.org website

I've looked, with right clicks, on several items, but I'm apparently not 
seeing what you are.  And I also have noted that its been 2 weeks or so since 
I was last able to forward a message from the pulldown 'message' menu as it 
shows only one choice, custom template, which doesn't exist.  The FWD button 
does work, but is not an inline forward, but as an attachment.

I have had 2 rather spectacular crashes in that time frame, both related to 
watching a video someone sent me a link to, and the last one took a reboot to 
fix as it also wiped out X.  kmail advised me that a recovery was possible, 
but that I would lose all my message flags, and it was after that when I 
noted I had lost the choices in the fwd menu.  And it is the same with the 
mark messages menu, there are no choices now, either in the pulldown, or in 
the configure-kmailappearancemessage-tags.  That screen is displayed ok, 
but there are no choices available.

Power cut woes

2009-09-28 Thread Philip Heron

Hi all,

I have an old PC running F10, setup to play a simple animation in a 
display. Nothing fancy. Yesterday the town was hit with a series of 
power cuts which seems to have well and truely mucked it up. I took a 
picture of the kind of errors I'm getting:


http://www.bacomponents.co.uk/f10-startup-errors.jpeg

The HAL bit sits for ages, then the screen blanks. X fails to start, 
trying to login on the console gives me a password error, and ssh fails 
to connect. I've run e2fsck on the disk and it seems fine.


Should I just nuke it and start again? Or is there a handy way to fix it?

it should be a bit more graceful in handling this...

In the past, I have pressed ControlC to cancel the process, then
once it boots, I tell the system to restart and do not log in until it
has done a normal restart.

I think that there are many files left over from the abrupt shutdown
in /proc that have to be cleaned out which is why you are getting those
errors.

I'd probably force an fsck on the partition that holds /etc because it

I suspect this might be the case - the second and third cut where only a

again.



Do you have file fragments in your top
level lost+found directories?


e2fsck -f says it's clean, lost+found is empty. I tried starting up in 
runlevel 2 and although it boots up a lot quicker there are still a load 
of errors (mostly concerning missing users or UIDs) and I can't log in. 
The most I can do is restart it with Ctrl+Alt+Del.


I don't know what all files are involved in the user database, but 
passwd and shadow seem fine? root and my own user are in there.

Bill, in my days as the guy where the buck stops for a University user
community, one of the things I constantly had to explain was that email
doesn't obey strict rules of time-ordering as seen by the user, and the
fact that a message hasn't arrived *yet* wasn't necessarily my fault.

It's quite illuminating to study how email actually works, end-to-end.
It's enormously more complex than most people realize, in fact it's

Hello all,
Is there way to dump the program stop responding, instead of do a full
reboot?.
  
   What you are calling dump is probably called kill in the Unix
   world. And program is better spelled process.
  
   So, a simple Google search for How do I kill a process in Linux?
   will give you a lot of answers.
  
   In a console:
 kill 666
   (where 666 is the PID of the process)
  
   Via GUI, it depends on GNOME, KDE, whatever you are using (it could be
   Ctrl-Esc or similar key commands).
  
  A couple of extra points:
  
  1) The kill command doesn't technically kill the process, it sends it
  a signal. kill -l gives a list of possible signals. The default signal
  (SIGTERM) can be caught by the process. This is to allow it to clean up
  before finishing (and it might decide not to finish at all). SIGKILL on
  the other hand cannot be caught.
  
  2) Sometimes a process cannot be killed even with SIGKILL (because it's
  waiting in the kernel on some event that will never happen) and a reboot
  is the only answer.
  
 In many distros the key-combination ctrl-alt-Esc starts kill - producing a 
 skull and crossbones icon, which you then move to the titlebar of the gui 
 application you want to kill.  If you change your mind, Esc gets you out of 
 it.

Interesting, I'd never seen that. It seems to be the same as the xkill
command, which I sometimes find useful. However the OP didn't say he
wanted to kill a GUI client. Also, xkill doesn't send any signals, it
just closes the connection from the X client to the X server. Most
clients then commit suicide, but nothing forces them to.

Is anyone else seeing these types of failures with the latest selinux

Should I file a bug report?

  
No I think this is an isolated occurrence.  If it happens on the next 
update, report it.

 I'd look into the errors that happen way before hal tries to start.
 I'd probably force an fsck on the partition that holds /etc because it
 looks like your /etc/passwd file is messed up  Maybe all of your
 filesystems  Then, again, perhaps this is the result of running fsck
 on your filesystems after the power failures.  You may be SOL if you
 were running fsck and took a power hit.  If that's the case, a
 re-install may be your best bet.
 
 I suspect this might be the case - the second and third cut where only a
 minute apart, the machine would have been in the middle of starting up
 again.
 
 Do you have file fragments in your top
 level lost+found directories?
 
 e2fsck -f says it's clean, lost+found is empty. I tried starting up in
 runlevel 2 and although it boots up a lot quicker there are still a load
 of errors (mostly concerning missing users or UIDs) and I can't log in.
 The most I can do is restart it with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

You want to boot into runlevel 1 (single user mode).  If you do it
right, you'll already be the root user.  If it continually prompts you
for a password, you'll need a rescue disk to boot from.

 I don't know what all files are involved in the user database, but
 passwd and shadow seem fine? root and my own user are in there.

Attack your errors one at a time, starting with the first error.  Check
the /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/boot.log files for more information.

   Greetings;
  
   I have one rather exasperating function I wish I could either turn
   off, or relocate.
  
   It's in kmail, the little helpful (not) gizmo that pops up if you
   leave the mouse sitting on an icon.  It is useful for some things,
   but I have kmail setup with the message list pane left of the
   message pane, which puts the messages panes subject line not too
   far below the icons along the top of the main window.
  
   And when it pops up, it takes about a minute for it to go way,
   during which time the messages subject line is hidden.  Having to
   move the mouse to a clear place when I want to switch to the + key,
   and back again tends to aggravate my arthritis.
  
   Can this be relocated to a point above the icon, or can the display
   timeout be set down to maybe 2 seconds?  If so, what file do I edit
   to accomplish this?
  
  It's not entirely clear which tooltip you are referring to, but go to
  http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips and it's probably
   2.7 or 2.8 that you need.
  
  Anne
 
  In particular, the one for the next button, Anne.  Thanks, when I do
  get up for good, I'll check that link out.
 
 You'll find plenty that's useful there, Gene, but it won't solve this
 particular problem.  I think that is a system-wide setting, so try
 systemsettings  Appearance  Windows  Buttons tab  Show window button
 tooltips
 
 Anne

 That also seems to be a no-op, it was, I cycled it, left it off  clicked
 apply, but when I park the mouse over the next arrow, a tooltip will pop
 up in a short time, and which covers the left end of that messages
 subject line.

 I am rather not inclined to move .kde as that means I'd have to spend a
 couple of long days rebuilding the message sort filters among other
 things.

 I would love to see kde break the kmailrc file up in subcategories as
 separate files, keeping everything kmail related in the kmailrc has led
 to several extensive, re-inventing the wheel by starting with the fuel
 injectors type rebuilds over the years.

 Thanks for trying, Anne.

You did restart kmail, didn't you?

Anne

No, it has always responded instantly to any changes I made previously.  This 
isn't winderz, where installing a mouse driver take 4 reboots. :)  And a 
restart or reboot will not change anything now as this has been this way for 
a couple of weeks.  It was last restarted 4 days ago when I installed kernel 
2.6.31.1.

Who mentioned rebooting?  I suggested restarting kmail, as many applications 
only read configurations when they start up.  As it happens, though, that 
wasn't the answer, either.  I'll try to find out.
