F11: nvidia, KDE or X window display errors
Lately I've been seeing windows get corrupted suddenly. I took a snapshot of one and you can see it at http://www.allmanpc.com/video_display_error.jpg If I minimize/restore the window it will (so far) re-display correctly. Moving between workspaces (I have 4) doesn't fix the problem. If I mininize the window and hover over the task bar area for the window it'll show me a small preview of the window and it will still look corrupted. If I restore the window it will start to display corrupted for a split second and then appear to repaint correctly (it's hard to tell--it's very fast). Has anyone else seen this? The overall desktop displays fine. The problem is limited to windows. It doesn't appear to be an app-related issue. I've seen this happen to OpenOffice, Evolution and Opera windows (and maybe others--I don't recall). My /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is very tiny: # Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display Section Files ModulePath /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia ModulePath /usr/lib/xorg/modules EndSection Section ServerFlags Option AIGLX on EndSection Section Device Identifier Videocard0 Driver nvidia Option AddARGBGLXVisuals True EndSection Section Extensions Option Composite Enable EndSection I don't know if this is an X and/or KDE and/or nvidia problem. This just started within the past week or two. I haven't changed any nvidia, X or KDE settings lately. I've re-booted the laptop a few time in the past few weeks so it's not an update needs a reboot issue. I've looked through ~/.xsession-errors but nothing looked obvious like error displaying window. One observation: the windows which are corrupted always look about like what the snapshot image I mentioned earlier looks like. It's not random. It looks like that green vertical bar pattern on black every time.

HDA-Intel: device controlC0 creation question
System: Dell XPS 1710 Sound H/W: HDA-Intel Current kernel: 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i586 In the /dev/snd directory I see: hwC0D0 hwC0D1 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1p timer The controlC0 device is created in /dev, not in /dev/snd, and the first rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/90-alsa.rules fails. In the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-alsa.rules I see the line: KERNEL==controlC[1-9]*, NAME=snd/%k, MODE=0666 If I change [1-9] to [0-9] I see the controlC0 device created in /dev/snd, and the alsa rules run just fine. I see in /dev/snd: controlC0 hwC0D0 hwC0D1 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1p timer The controlC0 should be in /dev/snd, correct? Also, none of the sound devices like /dev/audio, dev/dsp, /dev/mixer, etc., are created. Now that I have the controlC0 device being created in (what I hope is) the correct place, where is the creation of the /dev devices like dsp and audio controlled? I see lines like KERNEL==audio0, SYMLINK+=audio, MODE=0666 in 40-alsa.rules but no /dev/audio (or audio0) device ends up being created. Any suggestions would be helpful. tia, -- Mark C.

Re: grub hangs after update
I saw the same thing about a week ago. The problem was the master boot record (MBR). This is how I fixed it (note that I backed everything up one more time before doing this). disclaimerPlease note that this rebuilds the MBR so it's not to be tried without understanding what you're doing/disclaimer 1. Boot from a rescue disk to repair the system. 2. Let the start-up process find and mount your filesystem. 3. Chroot to /mnt/sysimage 4. Look at /etc/grub.conf to both be sure it looked OK and to look for the root (hd0,0) or root (hd0,1) or whatever line. 5. Run grub 5a. type in root (hd0,0), which is what I found in grub.conf 5b. type setup (hd0) 6. Rebooted the system and it all started up.

sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg8 type 0
Same stuff is in /var/log/messages
I have a /dev/sdh, but no partition devices (No /dev/sdh{1,2,3,etc}).
When I try to read the raw device with dd, I get 0 blocks:
# dd if=/dev/sdh of=/dev/null
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes (0 B) copied, 3.1811e-05 s, 0.0 kB/s
Does anyone know how to use this thing?
I've tried with several different drives, one out of my system that I
know is working right. Both IDE and SATA. I've googled around a bit
for help, but nothing seems to be this problem. I'm just missing
something basic, aren't I?
Thanks,
Robert

Do you have a device file /dev/sg8? If so, does another device in /dev
point to it?

Re: noacpi,acpi=off kernel options

I have one server here that just refuses to play nice with ACPI. It won't cut the fan on/off and it fills up my log and eventually the HDD. So normally I use something like this: title Fedora (2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 ro root=UUID=9f669bab-aff8-4855-aa5f-c683bf60744a noacpi,acpi=off initrd /initrd-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686.img In grub, but for some reason when I boot with this kernel it hang every time until I remove the noacpi,acpi=off options. So, what's the correct option(s) for shutting off acpi on boot now? -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support Try it without the noacpi, string.

Re: Problems With Newest Update of tcl-1:8.5.2-1.fc9
This might work: Remove the latest (yum or rpm), install the older version, then add tcl to the excludes list in (if I remember correctly) yum.conf. -- Mark C.

My question is this: How do I roll back to the previous version (tcl-1:8.5.1-4.fc9) without it automatically being updated to the newest one (tcl-1:8.5.2-1.fc9)?

If you use rpm (rpm -e) to remove the latest version, use rpm (rpm -ihv) to install the one you want, and add tcl.* to the exclude line in /etc/yum.conf, then nothing should try to upgrade tcl. -- Mark C.
