md raid 5 not working
Hello All, I clean installed Fedora 12 on my PC which was previously running Fedora 11. In F11, I had three md RAID devices: two were configured as RAID 1, and the third was RAID 5. /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 came up fine. But, /dev/md3 (yes, that's what I called it), did not. So, before I did anything else, I booted up with a recovery CD. Strangely, the recovery CD saw all the raid devices and brought them all up without any problem! At least I know my RAID 5 set is ok. My Linux RAID skills/experience aren't that deep, so I'm not sure how to fix this. I'd appreciate any pointers.

As you can see here, the md superblock is on the first primary partition of each of these drives. But, Linux wasn't seeing these partitions. A simple 'ls -l /dev/sd*' only showed me /dev/sdb, /dev/sdd, and /dev/sde. The reason I provided mdadm details on these drives was because I couldn't see /dev/sdb1, etc. I couldn't give md information on the partitions. I realized I had once used the entire drives in a md RAID 5 set instead of building the RAID 5 on partitions. I had outdated md superblocks on /dev/sd[bde]! I suppose when I rebuilt the array properly, I didn't wipe the drives completely. Basically, the old md superblocks were confusing the kernel. To fix this, I ran the following from the rescue CD: mdadm --zero-superblock --force /dev/sdb mdadm --zero-superblock --force /dev/sdd mdadm --zero-superblock --force /dev/sde When I rebooted, /dev/md3 was detected properly and came up without any problems. Sweet! Thanks to everyone that replied. I didn't think I could solve this one on my own, but the man page + my realization of what was going on helped immensely.

gnome shell - mouse mostly broken
Hi Everyone, I have an ATI Radeon HD3870 installed on my F12 system. For 3D, I've installed the experimental driver package, mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. 3D works: so far, so good. Then, I switched to GNOME Shell. Things looked normal until I tried to left click on the Actions menu - I got nothing. Right clicking, pushing the mouse pointer to the upper left corner, clicking the + to add new workspaces, or trying to launch apps from the menu after bringing it up with an Alt+F1 key press didn't work either. So, the keyboard appears to work properly. What's strange is that left clicking the volume applet or right clicking my name works fine (i.e. I can control the volume, I see a menu, etc.). I use GNOME Shell on a HP laptop without any problems. My USB mouse works flawlessly on that system. What could be the issue?

Reuse /home when installing fresh?
Hi All, When I move up to a new Fedora release, I always start with a clean home folder and then selectively copy in application settings (personal data is moved over whole sale). I've been doing this for a long time now because in the past I've had problems with crashing/misbehaving applications and a general instability in the Gnome desktop when I've reused my old home folder blindly. I'm about to move up to Fedora 12 - I'm currently using Fedora 11. Should I be just as cautious as I have been in the past, or can I just keep my entire home folder and use it as is? FYI: I don't format the /home LV when I install a new release.

Fedora 10, software RAID weirdness
Hello, I wanted to upgrade my F10 system to F11 (fresh install), but F11's anaconda wouldn't detect my md RAID sets. I booted back into F10 and after a bit of investigation, I discovered fdisk can't even read the partition table of my 3 drive RAID 5 set. But, a look at /proc/mdstat reveals md is happy. I don't know what I should do to fix the problem. I don't have a ton of experience with Linux RAID.

I cannot recommend exactly how to solve this since I don't know what you have on md2, nor what backup options you have. So I don't know whether you need to boot in rescue to do this. But I would recommend you backup md2, deconstruct it, create a single large partition on each of sdb, sdd, sde, of type linux raid autodetect, and construct a new md2 using those sdb1, sdd1, and sde1 partitions, then restore the data. I use BackupPC, which writes to an external USB 500GB drive. I trust BackupPC, though I sometimes wonder if my back ups are good. I'll probably rsync the data to md1, and then do what you've suggested. Thanks for the help!

sed, awk, or something...help meeeeeeeeeee
Hi All, I don't know if I should use sed for what I'm about to ask, but it seems like a good idea. If awk is better, or something else entirely, that's fine too. I have two files. File 1 looks like this: AA BB CC DD AA BB CC DD File 2 looks like this: 1 2 3 So, BB in file 1 always occurs in the same spot (i.e. between lines AA and CC). Knowing that, how do I replace the first occurrence of BB in file 1 with 1 from file 2, the second occurrence of BB in file 1 with 2 from file 2, and so on? I think a bash 'for' or 'while' loop may be useful here, too. But, it's the sed/awk/whatever bits I don't know how to do. I've read some of the man/info page, looked up sed help on the net, etc. I'm still not sure how to do the above with sed. Thanks in advance!

I will start doing that. It just sucks I never noticed this earlier.
i believe biggest part of problem is that gnome-player does not clean
up files, as it is acting like ms explorer creating cache files.
not using gnome-player, much less gnome, i also wonder why the directories
and files are being created. sounds like gnome-player is creating something
so that it can play various files.
This is what has me most baffled. Why did gnome-mplayer created
hundreds of thousands of jpegs in those dirs? I certainly didn't ask it
to do that (certainly not on purpose, but then I don't know who I could
have done that by mistake).
Incidentally, the onle cache option I see for gnome-mplayer is for
streaming, and that's only the initial buffer before beginning play
back.
If this is default behaviour, the damn app should have an option

BTW, I'm running this command, as suggested by an earlier poster:
find . -type f -exec rm -fv '{}' +
It's been running just about all day. There appears to be no end in
sight. There has got to be a faster way to do this. Can't I create a
sparse file or swap file or something, over that location and wipe it
clean that way?

RocketRAID 1740 and Fedora 10
Hi All, I have a fully updated Fedora 10 box in which I've installed a RocketRAID 1740 controller. I've attached three SATA II drives to it, and configured them for RAID 5. When I boot the machine, the card appears to be detected properly. But, the actual RAID array isn't. That is, instead of seeing one drive, all three drives are detected individually. Oh, the sata_mv module is being automatically loaded. I had this very same controller and the same drives installed in a Fedora 7 box before. The difference there was that I was using Highpoint's own driver. The RAID array came up as one drive, the way I expected it to. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

But, the Fedora 7 PC I pulled this hardware from didn't have any onboard SATA, so I had originally decided to purchase the RAID card to give me SATA II ports AND do the RAID in hardware (the PC is 5 years old). Now that I've moved it all into my new PC, I have access to on board SATA. So, the plan is to: 1. move the data from the old RocktRAID 1740 RAID 5 to my Linux RAID 1 2. disconnect all 3 drives from the RAID card 3. connect the same 3 drives to the on board SATA I/II ports 4. remove the RAID card 5. configure Linux RAID 5 on those drives That'll make me sleep better at night. :) But, I'm in no rush to do it, especially since I make daily backups. It took long enough to move all the hardware around today. Maybe I'll make the change in a few months. FYI: I'm doing all of this just so I can run FreeNAS in a KVM VM on my PC.

can't rebuild rsyslog using mock

I'm using mock-0.6.13-1.el5_2.3 on a CentOS 5 box to rebuild i386 and x86_64 versions of rsyslog-3.21.10-2.fc10.src.rpm. But, the mock build always dies (for both archs) with the following error: No Package Found for librelp-devel Cannot find build req librelp-devel. Exiting.

Sound pops
Hi Everyone, I have fully updated F10 system running on an Asus P5Q-E motherboard. Yesterday while listening to some mp3s, I heard snaps, pops, and crackles (rice krispies are tasty!). At first I thought it was maybe a poorly encoded mp3, but listening to many other mp3s didn't remove the issue. Has anyone else experienced this recently? I remember reading here quite a while ago about similar issues. I believe at that time it was a problem with pulseaudio. Maybe the bug is back. :: shrugs :: Any input would be appreciated!

Not all compiz effects working
Hello Everyone, I am running Fedora 10 x86_64 on a P5Q-E motherboard with a Radeon HD 3870 graphics card. I'm using the fglrx module provided by RPMs from the rpm fusion non-free repo. My desktop environment is Gnome. I have desktop effects enabled, which has let me put the desktop on a cube and has made the windows wobbly. Cool! Unfortunately, enabling more 3D effects using the CompizConfig Settings Manager doesn't work. For example, I turned on Expo, which should activate after moving the mouse to the top left corner. It never works. 3D Windows, which should make my windows appear to float above the desktop when I spin the desktop, doesn't work either. As far as I can tell, none of the additional effects are working. I've tried deleting all my compiz settings, restoring the default compiz settings, enabling/disabling desktop effects, and logging in and out (even complete reboots). Nothing has fixed the problem. Am I missing something, or do the additional effects not work with my 3D card? Incidentally, I have been able to use all of the above effects (and more) on a HP notebook running the i386 version of Fedora 10 with an embedded Intel chipset.

Video editors
Hello All, I have a bunch of VHS and 8mm tapes I'd like to convert to DVD or just keep digital versions of on our home file server. I've done this in the past with Kino, which worked fairly well. Since Kino is no longer under active development, and since it's missing some features I'd like to have (e.g. AVCHD support), I've been looking for a replacement. Today I discovered kdenlive, and it looks pretty sweet. I want to try it out on my Fedora 10 x86_64 desktop, but it's not in the Fedora repos. The kdenlive website mentions a 3rd party repo, tigro, that has packages for Fedora. But, I'm a little weary of using a repo I've never heard of. It's located here: http://mirror.yandex.ru/fedora/tigro/ . Has anyone used it before? I saw a bugzilla entry for getting kdenlive into Fedora: the effort appears to have stalled. Does anyone know what's going on with this?

More testing with my PSP and the USB stick has revealed large file transfers (e.g. 1 GB in size or more) destroy the transfer speed. Transfers start up fast (around 20 MBps), and after a few seconds begin to drop. The difference being the Kingston USB stick drops to 1 MBps or less, whereas the PSP is able to maintain a speed of around 6.5 MBps. Both devices connect at hi-speed (480 Mbps).

Slooooow USB key speeds
Hi All, I have a Kingston 8G DataTraveler USB stick. When I plug it into one of the USB 2.0 ports on my Fedora 10 PC (x86_64), the kernel detects it, and after some magic, Gnome mounts it on my desktop - everything is honkey dorey. When I use Nautilus to copy files to it (say a 1 GB movie file), the transfer speed begins in the 20 MBps range, but quickly drops to 1.5 MBps or less. Obviously, this increases transfer time exceptionally, essentially rendering the USB stick useless. I've tried reformatting (as vfat) the stick, deleting and recreating the partition on it, all several times and to no avail. The same stick works just fine on my HP Compaq nx7400 Fedora 10 laptop. I now assume something is either amiss with my PC, or there's a bug somewhere in Fedora 10 killing USB performance. I've tried searching for both, but I've come up up with nada. My PC has an Asus P5Q-E motherboard, an Intel E8400, and 4 GB of RAM. Is there something about this combination of hardware (don't forget the USB stick) when used in conjunction with the x86_64 version of Fedora 10, leads to shitty USB performance?

Customzing xorg config in Fedora 10
Hi Everyone, I'm running Fedora 10 on a HP Compaq nx7400 laptop (fresh install, was using Fedora 9 before), which also has an external 20 LCD attached to it. In Fedora 9, I added a Virtual 3360 1050 line to the Screen section in xorg.conf in order to run my desktop on both displays. In Fedora 10, a xorg.conf file is no longer created, so I'm not clear on how to duplicate my old dual display config. I've found a few How To pages for creating a very limited xorg.conf to do what I want, but each time I create the file and then restart xorg, the laptop locks up. To fix, I have to ssh to it, reboot, remove the xorg.conf, and then continue the boot process. What should the xorg.conf file look like so that I may add my custom Virtual line? I don't want to add anything more than the bare minimum necessary for this to work.
