mplayer: *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ... ***

[Michael Hennebry]

I've given up on gmplayer.
At least I can make mplayer go.
That said, when playing a DVD-R, I get lots of the following error:
A:   9.1 V:  29.0 A-V:-19.856 ct:  1.310 3395/3395 38% 10%  3.7% 287 0
*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in 
/builddir/build/BUILD/libdvdread-4.1.3/src/nav_read.c:263 ***

*** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 ***

If I use } to fast search, I get lots of the following:
Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8260344 bytes).

Each set of messages persists when
I copy the DVD-R to a hard drive.

What should I do about them?
Even if they are harmless now,
they are likely to mask any less numerous error messages.

What do you mean by chainloaded? If you are talking about a Grub,
then it is the same for a 32 or 64 bit version of Fedora. Grub is a
boot loader that is independent of the OS installed. (Except for
storing its files.)

I tried the standard commands and then the map and chainloader commands,
neither worked.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to boot two

In my case, I had to reinstall grub on the /boot partition of the
chainloaded Fedoras.

First, find out where is /boot:

su -
grub
grub>find /grub/stage1
(hd0,0)
(hd1,1)
(hd2,0)
grub>quit

Then, install it on the /boot partition:

su -
grub
root (hd2,0)
setup (hd2,0)
quit

In my case, I have three disks with F10 x86_64 (hd2), F8 x86_64 (hd1) and
RHEl5 (hd0).

grub is installed on the mbr in hd0 (my RHEL main disk). The other two have
grub on /boot,
the way I showed you. This is my RHEL grub.conf:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

The disk with F8 will receive F12 soon, and the disk with F10 will receive
F14, and so on...

I hope this helps.

For me, choosing a project name of "Packaging manager" or Package

the domain for, and also easy to google without getting lots of
useless hits. Plus, a FooKit project already tells people it depends
on other *Kit projects. For instance, PackageKit needs
DeviceKit-power, PolicyKit and ConsoleKit.

I guess it's mostly about marketing potential.

F12 NFS Failures

[John Austin]

Hi

I have just completed a clean install of F12 and
subsequent yum update on a client machine.
NFS was used for the install - no problems !!
I am using a fully updated Centos 5.4 nfs server

When copying a large file (2.7GB) from the server to the
F12 m/c a complete freeze of the F12 machine occurs.
No mouse, keyboard, ssh login. 
Only hitting the Reset button gets it back.

F12 is installed on the only disk on the machine which has several ext3
partitions. A fully updated F11 is on one of the partitions

I have tried
1. Changing from NFS4 to NFS3 - Still locks up
2. scp the same file from the server to F12 no problem 
3. md5sum on the file across the nfs mount - a read only? - F12 freezes
4. Booting the F11 partition and copying the same file - no problems
5. Tried playing with Defaultvers=4 in /etc/nfsmount.conf - still locks

I have "googled" but not found anything useful so far

My understanding is that NFS code is in the kernel - is that correct?

Has anyone seen this or has any ideas about the next move

Regards

John

The "root" in this case refers to the top level of your filesystem

   I will try adding that line later. I don't have that computer
   running at the moment.

   Before doing the "preupgrade" I pruned the /boot directory to make
   as much room as possible and may have inadvertently corrupted
   something in the process although it seemed unlikely at the time?
   That or perhaps it doesn't like the reference to Omega. The F-11
   systems were installed from the Omega Live CD and configured with
   yum to get what I wanted.

   I did even worse with preupgrade when last I tried it, lost
   everything! I hoped to preserve as much of my F-11 configuration as
   possible and elected to try again. I use xfce set up to satisfy me
   and it's quite a bit of effort. It looks like I may have to start
   from scratch again as usual.

   Tnx.

   Bob

Run kinit when needed?

[Christoph Höger]

Hi,

I've been switched from keybased auth to kerberos on a university server
(and things work fine), but running kinit manually every morning or so
is ... somewhat disturbing my workflow. Isn't there something like "run
kinit the first time when there is no ticket" mode for ssh?

regards,

Christoph

It was fixed, but the individual subscribed again without fixing the
problem.  That address has now been banned from subscribing.  If the
individual at waldyr.rebe...@uol.com.br wishes to subscribe again,
they should fix the problem and contact the list admins at
fedora-list-ow...@redhat.com to request a removal of the subscription
ban.  (I am making this request on the list because attempting to do
so privately resulted in the same annoying challenge reply -- which I
have no intention of following.)

I'd also like to request that when folks have issues like this that
they email the list owner address rather than the list itself.  This
ensures that the volunteer list admins see the problem (as we all have
a number of lists we read and might not notice threads like this on
the list).  It also avoids cluttering an already high-traffic list
with 'administrivia' that is generally not very useful for list
members.

Thanks,

Yes. I used wine to run the Firefox 3.5 and Adobe Flash plugin win32

I've only used it a few times, specifically for the problem we are
discussing, but Firefox (and Opera) seems to run more or less the 
same as the Linux version. 

It seems there are many other programs that are difficult to install
or don't even work at all.

I'm not sure, but I assume any executables have to be executed with
wine.

1) before doing anything, check the status of NFS, i.e, 

# service NFS status

2), NFS is failing because something is not letting it run correctly.  I saw it 
in testing Fedora 12 rawhide days, on messages(bootup), so it could be that the 
service is not running? and something is stopping it from working properly?

However when I run fdisk on that computer it shows two drives flagged as 
boot. It boots from /dev/sdb. And I see there is an error in the 
partitioning on /dev/sda. I wonder if that can cause confusion? It 
certainly hasn't bothered F-11, I never noticed before. I would have 
tried removing the other boot "*" but I'm not sure if telling it to 
write that will cause other problems, with it all being lvm I don't know 
if anything is written to that disk that I need? I have a strong 
temptation to run fdisk and fix that! Any suggestions ...

Also I never removed the parts of grub.conf that refer to the kernels I 
removed before starting this exercise.

After upgrade to F12, no more video for me...

[Sergio Augusto Vladisauskis]

After upgrade my video card (HD4850 X2) does not work anymore.
I tried to configure with 3 drivers (vesa, radeon, radeonhd) and nothing
different.
I installed package mesa-dri-drivers-experimental-7.6-0.13.fc12.x86_64 but
still did not work, the video is full of showers and freezes Xorg.
Log files are attached with the problems that occurred.
I'm using F12 in terminal mode, without graphical mode.

BZ or other page to request package update?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  where's the proper place to request a package version update?  as
in, a new source version just came out, could fedora eventually look
at it and rpm package it for update.  or is that done as a regular BZ
request for that package?

Yes, bugzilla is the proper place to make such requests.  It would be
an enhancement request¹, often '[RFE] Update to foo-1.1' or a similar
summary.  Some maintainers already get notifications of new versions
automatically, so checking http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/
would be good.

Also, depending on how large the change is in a new version or how
quickly upstream makes new releases, many maintainers choose not to
push every new version to released versions of Fedora.

Re: F12 - no gui - nvidia/nouveau

[Paolo Galtieri]

It was working just fine since early updates to the nouveau driver after F11
was released, and continued to work just fine through subsequent F11
updates.  After updating to F12 it all stopped working.

No, it's some other problem, such as wrong disk / partition or the 
suggestion that Grub needs a reinstall on the target partition.  If the 
target partition won't boot directly either, reinstall Grub there.  
Otherwise, use Grub's command-line and autocompletion to look for the 
chainload disk interactively; see `info grub`.

Well, maybe a shell alias would help out.  Use `klist -s` to see if 
kinit is needed, then do ssh.  Something like:

$ alias ssh='klist -s || kinit ; ssh'

(I don't use Kerberos.  I just looked at `man kinit`, and then `man 
klist`.)

I don't think this matters.  I have the same, with multiple disks, and
F12 boots just fine.

I don't think this matters either.  Grub won't look at anything until
it is selected.  It is a little sloppy, you probably should have use
rpm or yum to remove them so that all the related information was
removed as well.

At this point, if I was in your shoes, I would use the yum upgrade
method.  It requires a more in depth knowledge of dependencies and a
willingness to work around them, but it gives errors to work with when
it fails.  For that reason I would turn up error reporting
in /etc/yum.conf and redirect output to a file when running yum.   I
find preupgrade difficult to troubleshoot as compared to yum, more
blackbox, it either works or it doesn't.

http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum&oldid=137395

I recommend you do this from runlevel 3 to avoid issues with X, if you
decide to go this way. After you install the fedora12-arch package,
there should be everything and update repositories in /var/cache/yum for
f12.  You can just move the preupgrade packages into one of them there
and they should be used (use the packages directory)

I haven't got anything more to offer for preupgrade help.  Maybe
someone eles can give you more help, or you can find a bugzilla that
has your error at http://bugzilla.redhat.com .  Good luck.

Hi Antonio

Thanks for the reply

NFS is definitely running to some extent as home directories are mounted OK
and my global directory is also mounted OK.
The client only seems to fail during a large/long transfer

The autofs (NIS exported) files of interest are

maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 1# cat /etc/auto.home
#*  -fstype=nfs 148.197.29.5:/exports/home/&
*   -fstype=nfs4,rsize=32768,wsize=32768148.197.29.5:/home/&

maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 2# cat /etc/auto.direct
#/global-fstype=nfs  148.197.29.5:/exports/global
/global-fstype=nfs4,rsize=32768,wsize=32768  148.197.29.5:/global

The client locks up with no indication of a problem in /var/log/messages
after a restart

The server shows
[r...@maui ~]# cat /var/log/messages |grep nfs
...
Nov 20 16:25:48 maui kernel: nfs4_cb: server 148.197.29.252 not responding, 
timed out
...

The client falls over at "random" times during a transfer and leaves a partially
copied file when using cp

I did wonder whether it was something to do with FS-Cache but
as far as I can see nfs is not using it.
dmesg includes
FS-Cache: Loaded
FS-Cache: Netfs 'nfs' registered for caching

but this shows no activity
cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats

wireless problems under F11

[Paolo Galtieri]

I have a laptop running F11 and I have been having strange problems with
wireless.

At home I have a wireless network setup using WPA authentication and I can
connect to it without problems.  Yesterday I was at the airport which has a
free public access wireless.  I turned off wpa_supplicant, configured the
wireless network for auto everything except the ssid which was set to the
airport's wireless ssid. I started the network and ran iwlist wlan0 scan to
see what networks where available.  About a dozen showed up, only a few of
which where the airport's wireless. Despite seeing available wireless
networks I never succeeded in connecting to any.  I tried specifying the
channel number, nothing.   I booted up my laptop on Windows XP and it
connected immediately.

I arrived at my parents' house last night and tried to connect to their
wireless network.  I had the exact same problem.  In my parents' case iwlist
wlan0 scan showed only 1 network, theirs.  I have been able to connect to my
parents' wireless fine previously. I booted up on Windows XP and I connected
immediately.  This email is being sent from XP so I don't have access to the
logs, but what I saw from running wireshark and tailing the messages file
was that my laptop was sending out DHCP request and discover messages, but I
never saw any replies.

Since I can connect with XP the problem is not the hardware, does any one
have any ideas as to what to try?  Any thoughts are appreciated.

Is wireless support improved in F12 and would this be an option?

Thanks,
Paolo

[F12] Firefox + Flash = crash

[Andreas M. Kirchwitz]

Hi folks!

Just freshly installed my old Fedora 10 system with Fedora 12 (32 bit),
and I was suprised to see that Firefox 3.5.5 (directly from mozilla.org)
crashes on any site with flash (Flash plugin 10.0.32.18 from adobe.com).
Both are the most recent versions. No other custom plugins installed
in Firefox.

Installing the Flash plugin 10.1 prerelease 1 (2009-11-17) no longer
crashes Firefox but doesn't do anything useful neither (empty box).

I'm using GNOME/fvwm2 (no compiz or other 3D stuff). Graphics card
is nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (NV34). For some reason, the X server seems
to use the old "nv" driver by default. With "system-config-display",
I can force it to "nouveau", but that makes no difference.

Besides that, all graphics (desktop) is extremly slow. For example,
scrolling a page up/down in Firefox, or the "bell" (reverse video)
in xterm. Sometimes I can see the pixels getting drawn. :-(

What happened here? CPU is an Intel P4 (2,8 GHz), and that machine
worked like a charme with Fedora 10. Now, it's basically unusable. 

By searching this mailing list and Bugzilla, I couldn't find issues
about general slowness in X. Though, crashes of flash are quite usual
(not only on F12 ;-), but most are related to conflicting plugins or
leftovers from previous upgrades (eg, libflashsupport).

Could all that be related to some feature or a bug in the new
X.Org X Server 1.7.1? Are there any known compatibility tricks?
Any hints are welcome. 

Maybe such things already happened with Fedora 11, and there's
a large database of workarounds. ;-) But because I skipped F11, 
I don't know of any such things. So please accept my excuse if
my problems are well-known and fixes exist.

Greetings, Andreas

I haven't seen freezes, but I have seen corruption when trying to copy
large files (e.g. like a DVD iso image) via NFS. In fact, this happened
to me when I was trying to install an F12 virtual machine on my F11 box
(so I could try it out before deciding whether or not to bite the bullet
and upgrade the host OS). I copied over the DVD iso image, then tried to
install a VM from it, and it failed the media test. Sure enough, it also
failed the sha256sum test. Copying the same DVD iso file via scp instead
worked fine. I do not trust NFS for large files.

locale environment variables

[Hook]

I could use some help in understanding the process which Fedora systems 
apply to the locale environment variables (specifically LANG and 
LC_ALL).  It seems that from /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, LC_ALL is unset 
unless it was already initialized to something other than the value of LANG.



if [ -n "$LC_ALL" ]; then
   if [ "$LC_ALL" != "$LANG" ]; then
 export LC_ALL
   else
 unset LC_ALL
   fi
else
   unset LC_ALL
fi



I seem to have an application that requires these two variables to be 
set to the same value, so instead of modifying the system wide profile 
config, I decided to add the following to ~/.bash_profile since this app 
runs under only one account:


   if [ "$LC_ALL" != "$LANG" ]; then
   LC_ALL=$LANG
   export LC_ALL
   fi


The problem I have now is that this app generates it own job submission 
which basically runs a script that dynamically generates another script 
for execution later.  I'm not a developer so I don't understand the 
entire process, but without exporting these two variables inside the 
first script, the LC_ALL variable is still being unset by the system 
wide profile.  I don't know if this illustrates the same issue, but when 
I establish an initial SSH session, I see the values set for both 
variables as desired, however if I simply kick off another bash shell, 
the LC_ALL is unset again.


$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

Any explanation of why this is occurring or advise on how to change the 
behavior would be appreciated.

Hi Greg

That's interesting and very worrying - surely it can't/shouldn't happen!

I have been using NFS for years for all types/sizes of files and
never had a problem until the last couple of months.

1.  The Centos/RHEL 5.3/5.4 kernel had a serious bug that has been fixed with 
the
latest kernel update

2.  Now this F12 problem

Surely a very large worldwide community uses NFS ?

OK the F12 case could be my finger trouble or even a hardware problem

I will install F12 on a second machine and test again (against the same server)

Regards

John

DVB-C card not detected anymore after switch from F10 to F12

[Bernd Bartmann]

Hi,
mMy VDR server has 2 DVB-T (Hauppauge NOVA-T) cards and 2 DVB-C
(Terratec Cinergy 1200-C) cards. All 4 cards were detected and running
fine on F10 fully updated. As F10 goes EOL I reinstalled the system
with F12 and now only the 2 DVB-T cards are detected. There is no hint
in dmesg why the 2 DVB-C cards are not found anymore.

The weird thing is that on another system that now also has F12 on it
an identical DVB-C card is detected correctly.

Could it be that F12 has a build-in limit for 2 DVB cards? Or could it
be a problem in PCI device detection?

Any ideas how the DVB-C cards could be re-enabled again?

Best regards,
Bernd

F12: GTK horrible selected item contrast

[Tom Horsley]

I've gotten most things working on F12 now, but I'm seeing
this horrible looking contrast on selected items or text
in all GTK apps. Sort of a medium blue-gray background
with white text foreground.

Is this they way GTK looks these days, or is something
horrible leftover in my home directory influencing the
appearance?

(I guess I should go make a new user from scratch and
see what his GTK apps look like).

Never set LC_ALL.  It overrides all other locale variables if set.

I did just go customize the colors to make the background darker, but
I've never touched the defaults before, so the default certainly seems
considerably different to me now (I guess I'd have to go back and
run some stuff under f11 and take screenshots to see if I can figure
out exactly what the difference is).

Fedora 12 sha1sum

[Felipe Nunez]

Hi
   I  have downloaded twice Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso, under some abnormal 
network conditions. I also download  Fedora-12-x86_64-CHECKSUM  file
where the sha1sum for the DVD iso file is
c899659b8a7ceb8f005fc1a300b4e21c984a48fd7b8d8a332ed24bf8c3c479e8 *Fedora-12-
x86_64-DVD.iso

when I verify the sha1sum  for the twice download files I get the same value in 
both cases:
$ sha1sum f12/Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso 
97a018ba32d43d0e76d032834fe7562bffe8ceb3  f12/Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso
$ sha1sum Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso 
97a018ba32d43d0e76d032834fe7562bffe8ceb3  Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso

 Any explanation ?

Panel weather icon configuration

[Sam Varshavchik]

In F12 I like the new weather icon in the panel. One thing though -- if I 
try to set my location in the properties tab, the dialog says that after 
typing in a freeform location, I should be getting a pop-up with matching 
names. I'm not getting any pop-ups, I suspect that whatever I type in, for 
my location, gets ignored.


Is my understanding correct, if so I'll file this in Bugzilla. I've upgraded 
this machine from F10 to F12, and applied all the current updates.

and see if they match or not?

Hi,

it seems that Amazon only provides a RPM for Fedora 9. Even if you try
to install this on Fedora 12 (not a good thing generally!), this RPM
will require an older version of boost than the one provides by Fedora
12.
If you want to use this proprietary software under Fedora 12, your only
choice is to ask Amazon to rebuild this RPM for this version.

There are two ways to set the location. Type in the name , hit find/next
and if it is found then hit close. II just did that and it worked.
The other way is hit North America, then the next level of place, etc,
until you get a list containing your place.

Which way did you try to use?

In the end since I had to reinstall I tried again with the 64 bit
plugin, and it did work. So that's some comfort!

Re: Panel weather icon configuration

my location, gets ignored.


Is my understanding correct, if so I'll file this in Bugzilla. I've upgraded 
this machine from F10 to F12, and applied all the current updates.

There are two ways to set the location. Type in the name , hit find/next
and if it is found then hit close. II just did that and it worked.
The other way is hit North America, then the next level of place, etc,
until you get a list containing your place.

Which way did you try to use?


Actually, I figured it out -- I thought that this icon was pulling the 
weather data from weather.com, which runs off a fairly large database that 
lists every city name, including mine's. I wasn't getting any response from 
this applet after typing in my city's name. But after entering "new jersey" 
instead, I got a pop up with a bunch of city name in NJ, to pick from.

f12 ff/X crash and notes

[Skunk Worx]

Hi,

I am enjoying my new f12 installation--fully upgraded to this morning.

Questions :

When I visit www.newegg.com in FF, FF and X crash to the login screen. 
This is a X86_64 system using AMD and an AGP ati card (X800). I tried 
moving .mozilla out of the way and generating a new one but this did not 
help. Does anyone else see this?


The initial login "bong" after selecting a user name seems overly loud. 
How can I disable it?


Notes :

I tried to preupgrade following the release notes and using the new rpm 
file (three days ago) but after removing stale kernels, efi, and the 
grub splash image the preupgrade setup succeeded but when I rebooted to 
the install kernel it failed with the message "0 MB. free" or some such, 
similar to the gui shown in the notes.


At that point I gave up and backed up my users and did a fresh install 
being careful to set /boot to 300 MB.


I still need to add the "nomodeset" kernel option or the system freezes 
in a few minutes.


My f11 had major window/ff pause issues starting 6 months ago and 
nothing seemed to help but that problem is gone now with f12.


Thanks,
John

So it seems. Agreed as to boost. I read somewhere that an app called

Clamz seems to be a good alternative, although there is no GUI. By the
way, it is in review for integration in Fedora:

Have you tried Pysol that is now available in F11/F12? It has many more
games than freecell as well as many more card faces and card backs
available. I think (purely personal opinion) it's also more attractive.

FYI, in F11 there's a python (tkinter, or some such) bug that prevents
it from working right. I found a couple of trivial patches for it somewhere,
I think on fedora bugzilla, or some such place, that allow pysol to run.
("patches for it" means for the python/tk/whatever bug, not pysol.)

Pls forgive me for hijacking this item, I seem to have lost the original
of the "f12 installs report here" thread.

just made a first attempt at updating F11==>F12 on my eeepc. I made dd
images of the two built-in SSDs, safely over on my SAN device, ran
sha256sums on both of them and compared 'em to the same sums for the SSD
so they should be good.

then I booted the f12 dvd, let it check itself, it passed, so I told it to
do an upgrade. it started, ran for a while then complained it couldn't
read some package from the "repository" which I assume is my dvd...
didn't offer many good options so I rebooted and tried again, but it
had sufficiently hosed the installation that it no longer offered the
update option, only a fresh install. 

so I'm now in the process of restoring the dd images to the machine so 
I can try again. Wish me well!

Fedora-12 from USB stick

[Timothy Murphy]

I installed the Fedora-12 KDE Live CD on a USB memory stick:
-
t...@rose Download]$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr Fedora-12-i686-Live-
KDE.iso /dev/sdb2
...
The media check is complete, the result is: PASS.

It is OK to use this media.
Copying live image to USB stick
...
USB stick set up as live image!
-
I then ran this on my Thinkpad T43, and clicked to Transfer to Hard Disk.
This has worked more or less perfectly, to date.

One slight problem is that I installed Fedora-12 / on /dev/sda7 ,
leaving Fedora-11 / on /dev/sda3
(with /boot on /dev/sda2 and /home on /dev/sda5).

However, I find that when I add my old grub.conf entries for Fedora-11
to my new grub.conf , I am unable to boot Fedora-11 .
(I'm also unable to boot it if I run grub interactively.)
The error I get is:
fsck.ext4: unable to resolve UUID=66c3...699e .

I cannot work out what this UUID represents.
It does not appear to be the old or the new / partition.
I thought it might be the memory stick,
but replacing this did not help.

How can one find what a UUID represents?
Or conversely, how can one find the UUID of a partition?

Re: wireless problems under F11

[Paolo Galtieri]

I'm not running Network Manager.  I had various issues with NM so I disabled
it.  As I said nothing has changed in my configuration from when it worked
to it now failing except for installing F11 updates.  Also wireless works at

Dot-file issue?  I've often seen weirdnesses in the gnome/gtk stuff when

Actually, I compared two new user screenshots with all defaults
for f11 and f12 and the color for selected background on f11
was #008DD7 and f12 was #86ABD9, so the f11 color really was
much darker and higher contrast by default. I've customized
my gnome color scheme now to use the old f11 color and my
eyes are working much better :-).

how to get /sbin/fuser results from apache php script?

[Donald Russell]

I have a PHP web page that builds a list of files from a particular
directory.

In that PHP script I want to include some information about "what is using
the file" (i.e ftp, gzip, cp etc.. so I code

exec('/sbin/fuser -v $fpath/$fname',$answer,$retcode);

Retcode is always 1 (not in use, or a "fatal error" happened) and $answer is
always empty

>From root, in the directory I'm  interested in I use fuser -v * and it shows
me a couple of in-use items
(for testing I have a little loop that gzip/gunzip a rather large file)

I tried /sbin/fuser from my own id and get the same results as apache...
that is, nothing useful.

So I thought AH HA!, use sudo in the PHP script...
I got an error message from sudo saying a tty is required to use sudo even
though I had that command set up to not require password.

Back to the drawing board...

How can I issue a command from a PHP script that will "run as root" to get
the fuser results for me?

In some cases the file are chmod 600 root root in other cases 644  

I want my web page thing to show me the files in-use... I can live without
the 600 root-root files, but I really need to see the others.

Any suggestions?

Thank very much.

I see a GUI with no menu, but there is a checkbox at the bottom of the

and checking it seems like the wrong solution--I want to stop the login

I installed F-12 via a network install of the RC4 tree and I have
logwatch installed.  It appears to be an optional package in the base
group.  Did you install via a live image or something else?  I'm
wondering if that might be why you didn't get logwatch and I did.

We got so many questions on this that we added a large red note to the
top of https://fedoraproject.org/verify telling folks that the 'Hash:
SHA1' line is part of the PGP signature and has nothing to do with the
type of checksum used for verifying the .iso.

I believe it was withdrawn shortly after release because of some

f12 yum/rpm commands to list all dependencies on a library

[Skunk Worx]

On f12 I see a package called oprofile-gui depends on the qt3-3.8b rpm.

What command(s) can I run inside a local repo (where all the rpm 
packages are) that will tell me how many f12 "Everything" packages are 
still using qt3?


What command(s) can I run for the locally installed package set that 
will tell me how many packages are still using qt3?


I have a project that I am porting to x86_64/qt4 and would prefer not to 
mix the two subsystems on my development machine.


The /etc/profile.d/qt* files are currently pointing the default QTDIR, 
QTINC, QTLIB, and PATH variables at qt-3.3 locations even though I've 
installed qt-devel which is qt-4.5.

Hi;

As I get ready to upgrade/install to F12 an old curiosity question comes
to mind.  Fedora now has several programs it has packaged with the
designation 'Kit'.  PolicyKit, PackageKit and FirstAidKit come to mind.
I assume it just means a bunch of programs, libraries and dependencies
bundled together.

However, I have never actually seen a definition of a kit.  Has it ever
been formally defined?  Is it a Fedora/RedHat thing or is 'Kit' used
more generally.

Don't get me wrong, I am not objecting.  In fact, I think adding 'Kit'
to a bundle is descriptive and memorable.  If there is a definition or
at least a clear understanding of what a 'Kit' means its addition to a
name can be that more informative.

I was just wondering.


It's a cute use of the word.  According to the most appropriate
definition in Webster's that I can find, a "kit" was a basket or similar
thing to hold tools relevant to a specific task.  By extension, "kit"
also refers to that assortment of tools.

It's also commonly used to refer to an assortment of parts that, when
assembled correctly, become some mechanism or process to accomplish a
specific task or set of tasks.

Or, as I used to say about my old Jaguars, "Ooh!  There's a nice bit
of kit!"


America and England, two countries separated by a common language.

For the older generations here in the USofA, the most common use of 
'kit' is a box of component parts as opposed to a ready-to-run package. 
You take it to a workbench where you already have set out your tools, 
supplies, etc. Then you carefully work on each piece, trim it, paint it, 
and finally assemble and finish it with whatever technique is called 
for. The end result, after much labor and effort, is a complete model, 
radio, instrument, or what have you.


Heathkit manufactured some excellent electronics and computer kits. I 
built their oscilloscope and a FET based multi-meter. Ten Tec still 
makes kits for amateur radios. Revell now makes most of the model cars, 
airplanes and ships, having absorbed Monogram somewhere along the way.


Most of the rolling stock in my HO scale railroad collection were or are 
kits. In most cases, more than a little assembly was required. I don't 
like the idea of downloading kits for computer software, although most 
of the major distributions feel a lot like those HO train cars. More 
than a little assembly work is required and the instructions always lack 
the necessary details.

I have successfully assembled/built Google ChromiumOS from source and
generated a VMware VMDK image file. I have also converted the VMDK image
file to a Xen image file.

Google Chrome OS boots up successfully as a Xen domU/virtual machine in a
matter of few seconds and shows a graphical login interface. However,
signing in using my GMail account seems to take forever. I am wondering if
Google Chrome OS can run well as a Xen HVM guest. Google Chrome OS is a
Linux operating system based on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic.

I will try to get VMware server to work on my computer as well (vmmon kernel
modules couldn't compile in Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit) and test the Google
Chrome OS VMware vmdk image.

MD5SUMs of Google Chrome OS VMware and Xen image files I have created:

flash player in F11

[Amadeus W.M.]

I have been happily using 64 bit flash player on a 64 bit F11 and 
suddenly, after today's updates it simply disappeared. Firefox doesn't 
think it has flash installed. But it's there, of course. What happened? 
Anyone having this problem?

This is correct. Read the complete story is here:

Yesterday I committed all necessary fixes to git [1] , but I'm still
waiting for an update [2] that needs to pass bodhi. Not sure if somebody
pushes updates during the weekend, so let's hope this is done on Monday,
so we can compose new images. If nothing goes wrong, they will be
available on Wednesday.

Thanks everybody for your interest in the LXDE Spin and the patience to
wait for it another week. Sorry for the inconvenience.

How did you 'install' it? 

I had the .so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but discovered that
the latest FF seems to look in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins instead.
Symlinking it to that folder did the trick in my case. Maybe this will
help you as well...

Getting Flash working.

[Reg Clemens]

I am moving from fc6 where I had everything working, to Fc11 where
they are not working yet.

I have installed the Flash player but it does not 'work'.
I  remember having to go to some Netscape window and 'set things up'
uncer FC6, but have no Idea where that might be these days.

Can someone point me at what I have to do to get flash working
after I have it installed.

The repoquery command, from yum-utils, is perfect for this task
(though it will just query the repodata rather than look at local
packages -- generally I think this is preferable, but it's not exactly
what you asked for).

To find all the dependencies for qt3, this should do the trick:

$ repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps qt3 | sort

You may need to specify the repository with
"--repofrompath=," see `man repoquery`.

Well, there's always `yum remove qt3` and answer "no" (as long as 
"assumeyes" is not set).

Possibly this is a use for a chroot, or maybe mock or even mach.  (I 
have not done this.)

After installation from DVD, I also missed some kind of daily
"system report" (be it generated by logwatch or anything else).
But nothing came.

It looks like a lot of people were complaining about such reports
and asked to turn it off. Maybe that's the reason to remove the
package entirely from the base distribution.

I installed it manually with "yum install logwatch", and today I got
my first report. ;-)

Now I'm happy ... Andreas

Graphical video not working after yum upgrade from fedora 11 to fedora 12

[John Nissley]

I had an up to date fedora 11 install that was working fine.  I followed 
the instructions on the wiki for doing a yum upgrade and everything 
seemed to go very well until I rebooted and things hung as the graphical 
interface (I use KDE) was to boot.  I am able to boot into single user 
mode and run level 3 and things appear to be fine.  I just can not get 
the graphical display. Any help would be appreciated.

Solution:

$ chmod 6755 /sbin/fuser

I'm not sure that's a really good idea but it gets the job done pretty
nicely.

I don't think that introduces any problems... only the program/command name
is shown when using the -v option...

Woudld it be possible to do the signature using SHA256 also?  On one of
the iso's I recently burned did have a checksum file with a gpg SHA256
signature hash.  That was enough to remind me that I should be using the
SHA256 for checksumming the iso.
