Also, maybe show your resolv.conf. Since you said you have iptables enabled, you should make sure that port 53 is actually open. You can do this by going to another system on the 10. network and typing "telnet 10.255.250.37 53". FWIW, when asking network questions it isn't a good idea to obfuscated your IP address.

Re: reboot cycle, no log messages
In case someone searching for something finds this thread (or I find myself forgetting things I've done again) and the following information helps: I ended up filing a bug, and in the process thought of checking a few more combinations. Checking those led me to discover I had /dev/sda (n) and /dev/sdb(n) reversed on the partitions/file systems that were actually causing complaints. Specifically, it was not the LVM partitions giving me the problems, that was just where the messages were making it to the screen. It was me trying to mount /dev/sdb4 instead of /dev/sda4 (or was it the other way around?) in /etc/ fstab . (who'da thunk? especiallly with the zero-length partition thing 8-p) (I left the bug there because the error messages could be improved, but my problems are solved.)

Re: login session timeout on F12
In gnome, look at system->settings->screen saver or about (here, in german: System->Einstellungen->Bildschirmschoner). I use F11, but that is the place for many releases, I would guess in F12 too.

Re: fc12 installer fails with Gigabyte GA-EP45 SATA RAID 1
Hi Suvayu, Thanks for that. You are right that it is not true RAID, but it worked with fc8 and fc11 and I expected it to work with fc12 too. I have looked briefly at software RAID but did not pursue it. I shall look at it again when I have a moment but in the mean time, if there is a solution for the "RAID" controller I have it would be good.

Following "Mail Lists"' suggestion I filled in the DNS field in the nm-applet, after selecting the appropriate DHCP method.

Preupgrade F11 -> F12 Not Working
Tried this a few times last night with no luck. Did a preupgrade and rebooted. It says "starting installation" then immediately switches to "post-installation tasks" it reboots and I'm back in F11. It looks to me as though it is not downloading the updates given that the whole thing takes about five minutes total. I also ran it in the GUI but via the commandline and the last part seemed a bit suspicious. It said 500MB needed and then listed /usr as having about 13 GB and /boot as having I forget exactly how much, but it was more than was needed for the kernel. My /boot directory has 244 MB. I also tried the trick where you fill up /boot with garbage and have it download the installer upon reboot. That also failed. Although, this time it ran enough to where I could hit next and tell it to upgrade and update GRUB. It's hard to see what's going on because when it's done "installing" the upgrade it reboots. But I switched to one of the virtual terminals (F3, I think) and it appears to be having problems finding sda1. Any ideas? I'd like to upgrade to F12 to get the latest software. A full reinstall is my absolute last option. I thought about doing a yum upgrade, which I've done in the past (although not on this machine which successfully preupgraded from F10 to F11), but figured that if preupgrade is having problems with sda1, perhaps if yum upgrade can't find it, I'll end up with a hosed system.

I totally agree with Andy. With 32-bits you are essentially limited to 3GB of memory, but if there are driver issues with both your sound and network drivers, I certainly would recommend 32-bit temporarily. Additionally in some benchmark testing I did a few years ago, there are some applications that run better as 32-bit than if they were built 64-bit. There are, however, some additional advantages of 64-bit systems. First, there are 8 additional registers available in 64-bit mode. I think you should see better graphical performance in 64-bit. All in all, as a desktop workstation, as Andy mentions, you should not see any significant benefit with a 64-bit OS, specifically in light of your problems. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

In my view, by far the best option is to install F-12 on another partition, if you have one. (With the enormous disks in use today, this must be the usual situation.) And in my experience, the easiest way to install is to run the KDE Live CD (or probably the other Live CD), perhaps on a memory stick, and then click on the "Install on Hard Disk" (and choose "Custom Install" to avoid the crazy default installation). The trouble with preupgrade is that if it doesn't work, which is all too likely, it leaves the machine in a halfway state. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: Which model raid adapter controll card is good for work with Fedora 12 ?
I've had great success with am AMCC 3ware 9690SA on Fedora 10 and 11. I haven't tried 12 yet. I have a four-disk RAID 5. http://www.3ware.com/ The 9690 can use either SATA or SAS drives depending on the cabling you get. It is an 8-lane PCI express card. You definitely would want to invest in the Battery Backup Unit (BBU), otherwise write caching is disabled, which makes certain RAID levels very slow. The BBU will maintain the write cache in the memory of the 9690 in the event of a power failure, until power can be restored. When write caching is enabled, I find write performance to be very good. There is also the 9650 which is SATA only, and I expect less expensive than the SAS-capable 9690. AMCC sold its 3ware RAID division to LSI earlier this year. I haven't really been following the developments since then, so I don't know what newer models might be available. To be completely fair and honest, I should cop to the fact that I used to be an AMCC 3ware employee: I maintained the Mac OS X driver for this card. But I wouldn't dream of recommending it if I didn't consider it completely reliable. I have all of my own precious data on its RAID 5; I finally set up a home RAID after losing the third hard drive of my career.

It's great. I prefer it to having my computer connected to my TV. But... I assume you are talking about NOT cable TV, but internet TV instead. Fedora has an application called Miro in repo for just that. To read what it is all about go to http://www.getmiro.com/ . They have the best explanation of how internet TV all works. I wouldn't download it from their site.

If a soft reboot fails but a hard reboot (reset button held down) works I'd suspect its something hardware related not getting properly shutdown/restarting etc. For diagnostics boot with "verbose norhgb" that should spew lots of messages and not hide it all with the graphical stuff - meaning you can actually see what is going on. See where that hangs. You could also see if reboot=acpi helps. That changes the way the reboot is done and might be better for modern machines.

I believe the only situation these RAID controllers are worth the trouble is when you have a dual boot system where the "other OS" doesn't recognize Linux software RAID *cough M$ cough* . Thanks for that. You are right that it is not true RAID, but it worked with fc8 and fc11 and I expected it to work with fc12 too. I have looked briefly at software RAID but did not pursue it. I shall look at it again when I have a moment but in the mean time, if there is a solution for the "RAID" controller I have it would be good. I'm just guessing here, you can try a BIOS update. But like you the last time I tried these on-board "RAID controllers" was with F8. Sorry couldn't be of much help. Cheers, Chris -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

If you just want low end raid (ie 'I'm sick of disks dying' raid mirroring) then on a PCI express box there probably isn't any point getting hardware assisted raid of any kind. A modern PC is rather good at doing RAID in software and PCI Express fixes the main bottleneck of RAID1 in software. Its also generally true that a desktop PC has lots and lots of spare CPU cycles to use for RAID work. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

This is occasionally suggested and the fact is that the vast majority of the small proportion of people who need that option in a graphical installer can already do it with the text mode installer (where minimal is the default), or use kickstart.

Any linux-based microSD utilities?
Greetings, I have a Kingston 4GB microSD card in my cellphone. I use a microSD USB reader to move files to and from the card (pdfs, mp3s, etc). I tend to move it between phones and computers a fair amount. It seems that the card has failed and does not auto-mount properly on either my desktop or laptop, both of which run F12, or on my phone now. However, reviewing /var/log/messages I see that the relevant daemons sense the card and create a block device (/dev/sdb or /dev/sdc depending on the machine) when I use the USB reader and insert it into a USB port. However, the device doesn't automount, nor can I mount it from root. If the card has failed, I'd like to try and recover whatever data I can. Can the card be made useable again through some sort of formatting utility? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Latest updates broke KDE sound
I just updated two systems. They use different hardware, but I run primarily KDE in both. One system updated and sound worked fine. The second system lost sound in KDE. I can delete ~/.pulse and .pulse-cookie, log out, log in and have sound for that session. I can play music, get system sounds, etc. Once I log out, and back in, no sound. I can tap on the microphone and hear that in the speakers. I can run aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav and hear that. If I log out of KDE and into GNOME, I can run any application with sound and they work fine. All sound worked fine prior to today's updates, which included the latest pulse updates. lspci: 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) I checked alsamixer and nothing is muted. Checked Pulse Audio Volume Control and everything looks OK there. Again, I want to emphasize that (other than no login sounds in GNOME, which I believe is a known issue) all the applications play sounds fine in GNOME. I have rebooted several times. No change to KDE. Switch back and forth with KDE, and GNOME, everything is fine in GNOME, but no login/logout sounds, or system sounds, or application sounds in KDE. Since sound is fine in GNOME, I would guess that it is some sort of configuration problem in KDE. Although I try to set up both my systems, to be indentical, within the constraints of the hardware, and sound is fine in KDE on the other system. If anyone has an idea what I can try next, please let me know. Meanwhile, I can at least run in GNOME. Thank you for any help.

I have some interest in this too. How is this accessed and configured? I am using Fedora 12 with GNOME. Is there a GUI or does this require editing a config file? Right now I am getting two machines using one set of speakers via audio Y-cables, but it definitely has a negative effect on the sound quality.

yum - file conflicts when updating from i?86 to x86_64
Hi, all, I had an interesting time updating a machine from i686 to x86_64 last night. I wound up using rpm alot, and would rather have used yum more, but for problems like the one noted below (just one example out of a large number of similar instances). Is there a way to get yum to not fret about file conflicts when replacing one arch with another with the same base package name? Dependency resolution and RPM seems to be happy, but the transaction check (OK, I don't really know what that means) doesn't seem to understand what's happening. Thanks, -Bill == --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: tor-core = 0.2.0.35-1.fc11 for package: tor-lsb-0.2.0.35-1.fc11.noarch ---> Package tor-core.x86_64 0:0.2.1.19-2.fc12 set to be updated --> Running transaction check ---> Package tor-lsb.noarch 0:0.2.1.19-2.fc12 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved Package Arch Version Repository Size Updating: tor-core x86_64 0.2.1.19-2.fc12 fedora 956 k Updating for dependencies: tor-lsb noarch 0.2.1.19-2.fc12 fedora 12 k Transaction Summary Install 0 Package(s) Upgrade 2 Package(s) Total size: 968 k Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /etc/tor/torrc from install of tor-core-0.2.1.19-2.fc12.x86_64 conflicts with file from package tor-core-0.2.0.35-1.fc11.i586 file /usr/share/man/man1/tor.1.gz from install of tor-core-0.2.1.19-2.fc12.x86_64 conflicts with file from package tor-core-0.2.0.35-1.fc11.i586 file /usr/share/tor/geoip from install of tor-core-0.2.1.19-2.fc12.x86_64 conflicts with file from package tor-core-0.2.0.35-1.fc11.i586 -- Bill McGonigle, Owner BFC Computing, LLC http://bfccomputing.com/ Telephone: +1.603.448.4440 Email, IM, VOIP: b...@bfccomputing.com VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf Social networks: bill_mcgonigle/bill.mcgonigle -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

No kernel tweaks necessary so far. But I did find one simple thing that needed to be done to make the install work on the 1st try without issues: Make sure that, prior to launching the WS7 installer, you place selinux in permissive mode (assuming you haven't disabled it)! After install is complete, it's fine putting selinux back into enforcing mode if you like. IIRC, the problem seems to be that the selinux policy doesn't like something the WS7 installer does with portrelease. That causes problems later on. Switching to permissive mode flags the error but allows the portrelease stuff to happen, and the install completes normally. WS7 is then happy - even if you put selinux back into enforcing mode after the install is complete. Hope that helps!

So, when you ask about watching TV you'll also have to include where you are and what you're interested in watching. AFAIK, no TV station in the US is broadcasting "Live" over the internet. If they were, they'd most probably be streaming flash and using their own embedded flash player in a browser hoping that you can't/won't be able to record it. Of course there are many content providers that stream content. Some live, some a day late. Comedy Central - A cable network owned by Viacom, streams the "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" the day after broadcast. C-Span broadcasts Live TV and radio as well as recorded shows with your choice of viewing options (Flash, Windows Media, RealPlayer). As previously mentioned, there is justintv with plenty of sports events (pirated) going out live. hulu is US based and works within the lawas well as numerous TV networks that do similar things like Comedy Central. For a time, sites like hulu could be accessed outside of the US by using open proxies located inside the US...but these sites have gotten much better at detecting this.

Re: Which model raid adapter controll card is good for work with Fedora 12 ?
Alan Cox writes: A modern PC is rather good at doing RAID in software and PCI Express fixes the main bottleneck of RAID1 in software. Its also generally true that a desktop PC has lots and lots of spare CPU cycles to use for RAID work. Also, with the right hardware, failed drives can be swapped without shutting the server down. AFAIK it can only be done with SCSI drives, but with SATA hardware being supported by the scsi subsystem, it'll probably work with SATA drives too. pgpM3NCt1zUqA.pgp Description: PGP signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

need howto for SELinux config--ssh on non-standard port
I'm running sshd on a high (>1024) port number and cannot find a clear step by step guide for configuring this correctly on Fedora 12 on google I've come across lots of random bugs and forum questions, but nothing that starts at the beginning of the process through the end. I'm a total SELinux newbie and usually just disable itall together when things like this happen. I'm trying to change my ways :) Can anyone provide any URLs or the steps? If someone can provide the steps here I'll blog about it to get it documented so others do not have to suffer the same fate.

Clean install of Fedora 12 will not bring up login screen after upgrade
I did a clean installation of Fedora 12 from the CD today and the first boot was fine. I could log into the computer and get the graphical interface. I then did a yum upgrade and 500 MB later the upgrade was finished. I then rebooted the computer and now the boot gets stuck at the f that looks like infinity which is just before the login screen would display. I can boot into single user mode and also get into text mode but the graphical mode will not give me the login screen. I saw that there was not a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file so I ran Xorg -configure to create one but that did not help either.

You could have a card failure or a corrupt filesystem (or both). Try reading the card with something like: dd if=/dev/sdb of=myflakeycard.dd bs=2M conv=sync,noerror If that succeeds, the disk is probably OK. Usually they're vfat filesystems, so look into how to recover those. > Can the card be made useable again through some sort of formatting utility? something like: mkfs -t vfat -n yourphonenumberhere /dev/sdb1 works in my phones and cameras.
