Fedora Live USB, boot hangs after bootloader

[Andrea]

I am trying to boot from a USB stick with F12 KDE.
I've used livecd-iso-to-disk and tried to reformat the USB disk as well.

No errors reported by livecd-iso-to-disk,

but after the grub menu shows up, it hangs as soon as it tried to load linux.
the screen stays on the menu page, and no error is printed whatsoever.

If I try to test the memory, it works fine, there is an issue in loading the 
linux kernel.

If it were a BIOS problem, I guess I should not even get to the list.

F12 text mode and disk layout

[Andrea]

Hi,

I've just installed F12 on a PS3.
Only text mode installation works due to the amount of RAM available.

I would like to partition my hard disk to have / and /home in a different 
partition.
Single big reason is that new reinstall I keep /home instead of loosing it.

So,

the closest I got to partitioning was a menu with 3 choices

- use entire disk
- replace linux system
- use free space

none of them took me to a partitioning tool.
I can see in the installation notes a picture of such a tool

It is Figure 6.2 in this page

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/s1-guimode-textinterface-x86.html

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/s1-guimode-textinterface-x86.html#fig-install-widget2-x86

How do I get there?

Your experience of Firefox + HTML5

[Andrea]

Hi,

recently Firefox has become capable of playing video directly without plugins.
It's the big HTML5 +  saga.

I'm running Fedora 11 super up to date and I have to say that this things works 
a bit but not very well.

Take for instance the home page of firefox and click bottom left

http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/video/

It's a good example of what does not work.

If I pause the video there is no way of starting again.

And the same for all other HTML5 videos I've seen.

Has anybody tried http://www.youtube.com/html5, this is even worse as it does 
not work even without
pressing pause.

In my case thunderbird mixes up the mails.
Hard to explain but "from" and "body" are some sort of mix between the last 
couple of emails received.
This happens with gmail with IMAP.
If I go online I see the correct email.

It does not happen always, but more and more often.

Reading the manpage I've found that I can do

devkit-disks --inhibit-all-polling &

to disable all polling.

So I added it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local but it fails saying it cannot do it (it 
does not say why).
But if I do it from a console immediately after it succeeds...

I could not find any configuration file to avoid this hack.

How to disable driver polling?

[Andrea]

Hi,

I would like to disable all sort of CD & USB driver polling.

if I run "ps ax | grep poll" I get

15528 ?S  0:00 devkit-disks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 /dev/sdb
16612 ?S  0:00 hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/sdb because 
it is explicitly disabled
16615 ?S  0:00 hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/sr0 because 
it is explicitly disabled


I have manually stopped hal from polling /dev/sdb and /dev/sr0.
What is devkit-disks-daemon? Is it replacing hal at polling?

Thanks for the explanation.

I don't know if you "work" in rpmfusion, but unless they add a ffmpeg-nonfree 
package, it becomes
totally useless, forcing the users (who have already agreed to use nonfree 
software) to move to yet
an other rpm repository with countless dependency issues.

I hope that recompiling the srpm will not be a week-job, I'm going to try now.

ffmpeg and libfaac support

[Andrea]

The latest update from rpmfusion of ffmpeg dropped support for libfaac.

the changelog mentions it

* Thu Oct 22 2009 Dominik Mierzejewski  - 0.5-3
- dropped workaround for non-standard openjpeg headers location
- Add BR dirac vdpau. (kwizart)
- Don't build faac by default because it's nonfree. (kwizart)
- fixed PowerPC builds (bug 808)

Do we have an alternative? What's the point?

I see that ffmpeg still supports mp3. I thought it was not free either.

What is the difference between na_letter and letter, and A4 and iso_A4.
I would qualify it as a bug, which seems to have been there for ages (reading

hp-setup not working on F11

[Andrea]

Hi,

I've tried to run hp-setup and after the copyright it just hangs there.

those are the packages I have installed

hplip-3.9.2-4.fc11.i586
hplip-libs-3.9.2-4.fc11.i586

the debug option does not add much

Gwenview crashes frequently.

[Andrea]

Hi,

I've experienced a lot of crashes of Gwenview.
Now I am on F11 but the same used to happen on F9.

It happens often when clicking on Save All (e.g. after rotating a few pictures 
in a folder).

There is a bugreport here

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510860

I would like to debug it, but

how do I rebuild gwenview without optimization?

It is part of kdegraphics.

Should I get the rpm.src for kdegraphics, tweak the makefile (to remove -OXXX) and rebuild the whole 
kdegraphics?

Or is there a simpler way?

Laptop and monitor power control

[Andrea]

Hi,

I have a ThinkPad and just installed F11.
There is a small issue with the screensaver and the monitor power control.

the screensaver kicks in as normal, but after a while it is not updated any more (e.g. the dials of 
the clock don't move).

As soon as I touch the mouse, it disappears.

I think that when the screensaver stops being updated, the monitor should actually be suspended and 
go black (which it did in F9).


If I go to System Settings -> Display -> Power Control, in the help page it says that this should 
not be used for laptops. It suggests to use the Laptop Control Centre from kdeutils.


Does anybody know where it is?

Is there a way I can "help" hal or xorg to detect it properly?

F11: xorg misdetects my mouse

[Andrea]

Hi,

I have a problem with xorg not detecting properly my mouse.
I am running F11 on a ps3 and the mouse is a cordless keyboard+mouse connected 
via USB.

If I boo tin runlevel 3, then (in text mode) I can see the cursor moving when I 
move the mouse (so
to say it works).
In F10 everything worked properly.
If I plug in a separate USB mouse, it works.

Now when xorg boots I can see the following error

(EE) Logitech USB Receiver Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Logitech USB Receiver"
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)

These are the available input on the system

[and...@ps3 ~]$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0017 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0100

I think the last one is the correct one (the 2nd being the beyboard).
How can I improve the error message? "Logitech USB Receiver" is the name of 
both the keyboard and
mouse. Maybe xorg default mixes them?
How can I tweak the default xorg.conf?

nothing.
this is the way I normally mount it (from my laptop's /etc/fstab)

magazzino:/public   /mnt/nas/public nfs 
defaults,noauto,tcp,user0 0

it works without tcp as well.

then I tried

server "magazzino"
path (of the folder containing the iso) = "/public/."

Reading the log of anaconda it seems it tries 1st to retrieve it already 
mounted, then it tries to
mount it (but it does not show exactly the mount command.

it is on a NAS that cannot mount iso unfortunately.

IIRC when I installed F9 I succeeded, then I tried F10 and had to go via 
Internet.

I would like it to be easier (and easier to detect user error)

1) clearly let the user specify if the ISO is mounted or not
2) print exactly the mount command (with error message) so that people can find 
workaround.

F11 install: cant install via NFS - ISO

[Andrea]

Hi,

I'm trying to install F11 via a ISO image via NFS.
This on a PS3.
I've tried the graphic installer and the text mode (passing boot option "linux 
text askmethod")
When I run in text mode the error seems to be that anaconda cannot find

"images/install.img" at the path I have entered.

Now, that path is *inside* the ISO and according to the installation 
documentation I do not need to
mount it.

Reading on google I've found that F10 had some issues and one had to add the 
content of "images" to
the directory containing the image.

Does this make sense to anyone?

Cheers

Problems with Fedora 9 & Flash 10

[Andrea]

Hi,

I don't seem to be able to use Flash 10 on Fedora 9.

The plugin come automatically after I've added the Adobe repository rpm to yum.
The version installed is

flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release

Basically the window of the player never shows up (tried with youtube, bbc 
iplayer).

I've tried removing the libflashsupport but nothing has changed.

Does anybody know how to debug that?

Hi,

I've just received an update of gtk2 for Fedora 9
(exactly gtk2-2.12.12-2).

This still does not contain the patch for the wrong unit size in the print 
dialog used to select the
paper size.

Is it possible to have this patch added to gtk2. I need to recompile gtk2 every 
time it is updated.
I attach the patch if anybody is interested.

I think this little app is very useful for all cases when an application does 
not natively support
this feature.
It is very easy to write a small script doing it, much easier than navigating 
to the correct point
in the config.

Thanks for the update.

xdg-screensaver not working

[Andrea]

Hi,

I've tried to use xdg-screensaver many times with KDE 4 but it has never worked.
I am on Fedora 9.

This is the output

[and...@thinkpad ~]$ xdg-screensaver status
call failed
ERROR:  kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled returned ''


or

[and...@thinkpad ~]$ xdg-screensaver activate
call failed


I might have read once that it does not work with KDE 4, but I might as well 
have stopped some
service that it needs to run.

anybody had any success?

It ended up being a bug in GTK+, fixed last December.

I've filed a bug on Fedora

It would be nice to have an updated version of GTK+ for Fedora 9 and 10.

Is it possible to just disable pulseaudio, rather then removing it.
I would like to disable it when I use ekiga, but otherwise I am happy with it.

Ok.
I've done it.
It works, the look seems to be more integrated in KDE.
But I can't really find some options like

1) accept or not a file transfer
2) where to same received files.

which were available on the previous version.

Howto use bluetooth in KDE

[Andrea]

Hi,

I'm trying to send/receive files with my Phone.
I've installed kbluetooth, but whenever I run kbluemon I get the following error

process 3712: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, 
assertion
"_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1074.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
KCrash: Application 'kbluemon' crashing...

I have tried then to install gnome-bluetooth but I can find out how to use it.

Does anybody know how to do it?

Hi Andrea,

add this line to /etc/modprobe.conf:

install ipv6 /bin/true

and restart your network.


Until FC8 it was so, but in FC9 is different !!!

Since I am poor experienced with the CHS and LBA notations, someone 
can me confirm this: testdisk signals that the partition begins at

102864258 and 125290810, isn't it ?




if I had less space (and no time to buy an extra USB hard drive) and

something like:

assume 512 blocks, and HeadSector size of 7697074bytes
bc of 7697074*6402/512 yields 96243491 which is probably completely wrong.

Successful ! I just issued

dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/usb/partition skip=102864258 count=22426552

and then

mount -o loop /mnt/usb/partition targetdir/

and all important data have been fully recovered !!

After a while I found that there is more that one driver provider for my printer

1) foomatic (providing the same (?) support as hpijs 2.8.2)
2) hpijs (the one I upgraded)
3) hplip

And more than one way of adding a printer

1) system-config-printer (only allows 1)
2) the web interface of CUPS (for 1 and 2)
3) hp-setup (for 3)

Does it need to be so complicated?

HPLIP and system-config-printer

[Andrea]

Hi,

I need to update hplip to the latest version (2.8.7) to support a new printer.

So I have downloaded the src rpm from fedora 10 and rebuilt the rpm.
Everything went fine.
Installed ok (replacing the f9 version 2.8.2)

Now when I launch system-config-printer I cannot see my the new drivers.
In the list (under HP) I see exactly the same drivers of before the upgrade.

The funny thing is that even if I remove hplip I still see the same drivers for 
HP printers.

I have rebooted to be sure cups was properly restarted.

I can imagine that system-config-printer takes the drivers from elsewhere.

Does anybody know how it works?

Fedora 9 on PS3, cant boot after update

Hi,

I have F9 on a PS3 and today I've update the PS3 software from Sony to 2.42

Then I booted Linux. No problem.
Then I updated F9 (last update dated 11/07/08).

Many new RPM installed.

Then I rebooted and the PS3 on Linux does not boot anymore.

It goes to kboot prompt and then, in the next section it stops after some USB 
related lines.

These are the last 3 lines of output

ps3-ehci-driver sb_05 USB 0.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004
hub 1-0:1.0 USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0 2 ports detected

Then the only thing I can do is to press the switch until it switches off.

1) Does anybody know what happens?
2) How can I reboot the PS3 software?
3) How can I fix it?

Today, after a big system update, the order was correct.

I *think* this fixes the choice of the order.

I take it that 10.100.0.241 is your gateway.

My default gateway is 10.100.0.1


Is that machine
configured to forward packets between subnets? Also, are the
machines on the 10.6.70.0 configured to use the Linux machine as
their gateway, at least for the 10.100.0.0 subnet?

Yes

I answer your question in this mode:
when I do ssh or ping command from my firewall (10.100.0.1) to local subnet 
(10.6.70.0/24) client, it is okey!
when I do the same command from a local network client to local  subnet 
client, it is NOT okey!


I think that I must implement in to my firewall (10.10.0.1) something about 
"accept_redirect, send_redirect" or anything like, but I don't know.


Does somebody know these?

I have a local Network (10.100.0.0/24) and my default gateway is a firewall 
(fw;eth0=10.100.0.1) with linux OS and netfilter.

I must add a local subnet (10.6.70.0/24) under my local network.
The local network (10.100.0.0/24) and local subnet (10.6.70.0/24) are 
connected by linux machine with netfilter

Clients in local network have firewall (10.100.0.1) as their default

To send a packet from local network client to local subnet client I have 
added a static route in the firewall (10.100.0.1).

route add -net 10.6.70.0 gw 10.100.0.241

F9: udev gives wrong permissions to vivi

[Andrea]

Hi,

I am trying to load the module "vivi" which is a virtual video driver (very 
useful to test applications)

Anybody can do it like "modprobe vivi"

It creates an additional /dev/videoXX device.

The problem is that the permissions of this device are "wrong".

If I attach a real USB webcam, the /dev/videoX created has the right 
permissions.

This is what the permissions look like

crw-rw  1 root root 81, 0 2008-07-12 20:41 /dev/video0
crw-rw  1 root root 81, 1 2008-07-12 20:41 /dev/video1
crw-rw  1 root root 81, 2 2008-07-12 20:41 /dev/video2
crw-rw+ 1 root root 81, 3 2008-07-12 20:42 /dev/video3

In this case I did

modprobe vivi n_devs=3  (for video0-2)
then I plugged in a USB webcam. (for video3)

The order does not matter.

The difference is the "+" that the real webcam gets.
This way a normal user is not allowed to read /dev/video0.
I can manually change the permission, but I'd like to avoid the step each time 
I use it.

In udev rules I can only find this rule about videoX (in 50-udev-default.rules)
KERNEL=="video0",   SYMLINK+="video"

Anybody know exactly how it works?
How can I debug it?

When you turned on wpa_supplicant with chkconfig, it creates symbolic

(start or kill) and the numbers (priorities).  Just changing the file in 
/etc/init.d doesn't change these links.  You have to use chkconfig to 
turn them off or delete them, and then add them back again to get the 
new links.  *OR*  you could change the file by hand, and then change all 
of the links names to contain the new numbers by hand.  One is easier 
than the other.  You decide which.




This is the content of rc3.d

...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-07-10 21:56 S09wpa_supplicant -> 
../init.d/wpa_supplicant
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2008-07-10 21:56 S10network -> ../init.d/network
...

which is correct. Exactly what I want.
I think this has been generated by "ntsysv" when I deselected and reselected 
wpa_supplicant.
But the next time I do "yum update" for some reason wpa_supplicant will go back to its original 
position.


It's like there are 2 ways of configuring those services and they might not be 
synchronized.

I've noticed that in each file, after the info for chkconfig there is a "new" 
section:

for "network":

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: $network
# Should-Start: iptables ip6tables
### END INIT INFO

for "wpa_supplicant":

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: wpa_supplicant
# Required-Start: $local_fs messagebus
# Required-Stop: $local_fs messagebus
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: start and stop wpa_supplicant
# Description: wpa_supplicant is a tool for connecting to wireless networks
### END INIT INFO

I will try to add wpa_supplicant to "Required-Start" of the network.

How to change order of services

[Andrea]

Hi,

I am trying to change the order of the service wpa_supplicant.
I want it to run before "network".

So I have changed /etc/rc.d/init.d/wpa_supplicant

# chkconfig:   - 23 88

to

# chkconfig:   - 9 91

Bear in mind that network has the following
# chkconfig: - 10 90

Then I deselect and reselect it in ntsysv.
Everything works fine, and at reboot wpa_supplicant starts before network.

But whenever I update the system, wpa_supplicant goes back to the original position (even if the 
file has not changed), after network.


What am I missing?

b43 not working with latest kernel 2.6.25.9-76

[Andrea]

I cannot connect anymore to my AP with a

Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller 
(rev 02)

With the new kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686

The previous kernel was ok (2.6.25.6-55).

The Centrino Wireless ipw2100 works in both cases.

What happens is that I get over and over the dialog box of the WPA password.

Re: What is the matter with fedora 9? ... Network Manager rocks !

[Andrea Mastellone]

Stephen Berg (Contractor) wrote:


it introduced a NetworkManager which prohibits networking.


NetworkMangler has been around since FC6 (at least), by making it the 
default it became impossible to ignore. It does the right thing in 
cases where you have one hardwire or wireless connection which can see 
only one AP. For all other cases wait for the human readable 
documentation which will be here... or maybe not, since it was coming 
with FC7, 8, and 9.


After about a dozen installs of Fedora 9 I cannot agree with you on 
that.  On every system save one there is only one network connection, in 
each of those cases it's been /dev/eth0 and NM would not enable the 
connection by default.
Maybe there's documentation on the way that will make NM a breeze to 
configure but until that time it's out the window.  I disable the 
NetworkManager service and enable the network service during kickstart 
installs.  All my systems have a statically leased DHCP address and it 
works just fine.

Bottom line for me:  NM breaks far more than it fixes.



My NM esperience is instead absolutely positive. I have tryed it since 
F7, but at that time I was very disappointed and turned it off, as in 
F8. In F9 I just wanted to give last chance and NM won.


I have a very standard hardware: Realtek RTL-8139 (wired) and Intel 
2200BG (wireless), perhaps this is a key ingredient.


It connects virtually to everything: I tested it over wireless 
connections (free, wep, wpa, wpa2), and wired ones, sometimes PPP over a 
modem. Some connections require manual IP settings, that I have 
configured in NM by editing the connections: all of them work flawlessly.


I have noticed only a bug (due to wpa_supplicant, namely): while 
connecting to a wireless network with a hidden essid, sometimes the 
connection attempts fail and I have to restart NM service in order to 
get a successful connection. After the wpa_supplicant today update, that 
problem is fixed and NM is a charm.


The only criticism is about the documentation: is very lacking at this 
stage.


My 2 cents.

I have my own personal solution using ifup/ifdown but it requires some 
modification:

1) wpa_supplicant must be started before the network (default is the opposite)
2) change ifup-wireless and ifcfg-wlan0 to skip all configurations (already 
done by wpa_supplicant)


then you can do ifup wlan0 and ifdown wlan0, and have it at boot time.

The drawback is that I don't have a way to tell if wpa_supplicant fails.

If you want I can post the exact modifications needed.

Pulseaudio not working with custom kernel.

[Andrea]

Hi,

I've tried to recompile the kernel from sources and I have a problem with the

I am not using any Fedora Patch, this is just the plain kernel from 
www.kernel.org.

pulseaudio fails at start saying the it cannot open the audio device.

I've run strace on pulseaudio and the (first) difference is here

Fedora kernel:
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)= 15

Custom kernel:
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)= -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

Yes, icon themes for KDE 3 do not work properly in KDE 4 and are not expected

KDE 4.0: icons go crazy.

[Andrea]

Hi,

Since the beginning (IIRC KDE 4.0.3) I've had issues with the desktop/menu 
icons in KDE.
My Fedora 9 is updated to the latest rpms.

Basically, some icons are "wrong"

1) the KDE menu Icon is now a REWIND. I've seen it being the F (Fedors) symbol 
or the K
2) I've got a couple of icons on the desktop and when the mouse goes over them the 4 extra small 
icons on the side have changed. The bottom one (for instance) instead of being a red cross is a "pen 
over a sheet"
3) in the KDE menu the 3 bottom entries (switch user, lock, logout) have changed to and now they are 
all the same (a screen with a PC case on the right)


Soon after upgrading KDE they "usually" go back to the normal state, but then 
suddenly they change.

Any idea?

In "alsamixer -c 0" or Kmix, you have to set the capture volume and then select the mic as capture

This is something you might want to try

arecord -D pulse -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D pulse -c 1 -r 8000 -f

You want to keep the mic mute since you don't want direct link between mic and

The pulse audio control is just a small part of all the settings, the mixer is

Ekiga, arecord and pulseaudio

[Andrea]

Hi,

I've just tried Ekiga after upgrading to Fedora 9.
It's the first time I run pulseaudio or any other soundserver in Fedora.

It seems I cannot record.

When I run

arecord -D default -c 1 -r 16000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D default -c 1 -r 16000 
-f S16_LE -
or
arecord -D pulse -c 1 -r 16000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D pulse -c 1 -r 16000 -f 
S16_LE -

I don't get any sound.

I've checked:

1) pulseaudio volum control for the recording volume
2) alsamixer for the recording volume and capture

I don't seem to find all the options that used to be in alsamixer any more. How can I record using 
alsa when there is pulseaudio?

I have different values

network 10 90
NetworkManager 27 73
netfs 25 75

I have a WPA-protected wireless network and NetworkManager does not coexist with 
"network" nor "netfs".

On top of that you might want to have a look at the values for wpa_supplicant

wpa_supplicant 23 88

It makes no sense to me (why network starts before wpa_supplicant?)

Anyway, I have disabled NetworkManager and extended ifup-wireless to work with WPA and changed the 
priorities of wpa_supplicant to a more meaningful 9 91.


It looks to me that there are 2 different streams in the network:
1) the old style "ifup" where network goes up and down during boot, available 
to all users connected
2) a new "windows"-style where the network is enabled only when someone is connected to KDE and 
disabled on logoff.


I personally prefer 1), but I'd rather clean it.

In all seriousness...if the Centrino interface is working, why have the

I dont think that matters.

I just would like to know if it is possible to choose which interface to use, and in case NM wants
