The iPlayer SD streams are watchable on 0.5-1Mbit DSL circuits so I guess you'd need at least that much inbound and outbound to route the streams elsewhere. The HD streams seem to want 3.5-4Mbits.

Hi;
this happened to me.
I only run KDE, so did not test gnome.
F -> apps -> multimedia -> pulse volume control
click the config tab.
In my case PA found my Radeon Video card and chose HDMI
I changed it back and all was ok.
I have a Radeon HD 3450 PCI Express, with NO HDMI.

Re: [Fedora] IBM Netfinity 5000
We've got success. After the net install finished, first it wouldn't boot at all, so I went into rescue mode and tried booting the drive then only to have it tell it that it didn't have any bootable partitions. So, a little bit of grub-install magic, the system now boots without a problem. Next step was to run 'yum update' ... and while installing "kernel-PAE-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686", I saw these warnings/errors: Possible missing firmware aic94xx-seq.fw for module aic94xx.ko Possible missing firmware ql1800_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.ko Possible missing firmware ql2500 for module qla2xxx.ko Possible missing firmware ql2400 for module qla2xxx.ko Possible missing firmware ql2322 for module qla2xxx.ko Possible missing firmware ql2300 for module qla2xxx.ko Possible missing firmware ql2200 for module qla2xxx.ko Possible missing firmware ql2100 for module qla2xxx.ko Is this something that should be addressed?

IBM Netfinity 5000
I have an old Netfinity 5000 server that used to run WinNT and I'd like to install Fedora on it, any "recent" version would do (basically, from 10 up). I started with a Fedora 12 DVD and it booted partway ... froze, then the screen said 'Cannot find root partition.' So I decided to try a Fedora 10 disc instead, same result. Tried using an F10 LIVE KDE disk, same thing. It just won't boot up. Hardware wise, it has 2 SCSI drives in it, and an IDE DVD drive. A dual head Matrox card has been put in to replace the original planar video on the board. Any suggestions where I should start diagnosing this beast?

Every distro seems to do this differently (sometimes each distro
changes between releases :-), but for fedora/redhat what has
always worked for me is to edit the ifcfg-eth0 script
and add:
DHCP_HOSTNAME="whatever"
to the parameters.
Hello Tom,
Thanks for the help. I took a look in that script, and I see what
you're talking about. I may end up going that route in the end, or just
editing the dnsmasq.conf file on the server to use dhcp-client-id
instead of dhcp-host.
In the mean time, its still bugging me as to what exactly is going on
here. On further inspection, the /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf files
for both the F12 machine and the U9.10 machine are nearly the same they
*both* have Network Manager adding the same line to the end ('send
dhcp-client-identifier "demandred" '), but the file in U9.10 looks like
they just copied over /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf (which they still have)
into the NM file, with one line uncommented:
send host-hame "";
I don't know if that gets expanded when the script is run to take the
machines hostname and send it as part of the dhcp request, and thats why
it gets the proper dhcp lease as it should, and F12 doesn't?
From the sounds of things, it appears I'm going to have to learn a bit
about wireshark and start trying to capture the network traffic when the
client machines send their dhcp requests and see what is and isn't being
sent.
Thanks,
Monte

What am I missing? What right hand menus are you talking about If all you have is an EXE file then grab yourself a freedos ISO (Dell used to provide them at least with N-series machines, if not it's under the GPL & a free download) and drop the EXE into the image and burn. Then you can boot freedos and run the update from there. I've done this for Dell, HP and IBM/Lenovo systems in the past. Dell also has a tool called biosdisk that appears to automate this process: http://linux.dell.com/biosdisk/ Dell also has a project called firmware tools to allow updating of BIOS and firmware images from within a booted Linux kernel: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Oss/Firmware_Tools Seems to have been a bit quiet in the last few years so not sure what current status is. That page also has a link to: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/libsmbios_livecd Which gives another option - building a fedora liveCD to do the updates from (this uses the Firmware Tools stuff to do the update).

how to get F12 to 'send host-name' in dhcp request?
Hello, I have a couple virtual machines hooked together on a virtual LAN inside Virtualbox. The server box has CentOS 5.4 running dnsmasq providing local name resolution, dns caching, and dhcp. Specifically, it is configured so that when a client sends a dhcp request containing 'send host-name "demandred.local", dnsmasq will check /etc/hosts on the server, and give the requesting dhcp client the corresponding ip address listed in /etc/hosts. I have three 'client' VMs: desktop installs of Ubuntu 9.10, Debian Lenny, and Fedora 12. In Ubuntu 9.10, running Network Manager this was fairly simple: I set it to send a DHCP Client ID of 'asmodean', and voila! it gets the address 10.0.0.2 as listed in the /etc/hosts on the gateway server box. In Debian Lenny, I had to make a minor edit to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, basically creating a line that said 'send host-name "lanfear" and bam!, that machine got its ip address (10.0.0.4) exactly as listed in /etc/hosts on the server. In Fedora 12, running Network Manager, with the name 'demandred' entered just as I did on the Ubuntu box... I get a random ip from the pool. I *do not* get the ip that is associated with that name in the /etc/hosts file on the server, like the other two machines did. I've checked the spelling, in the /etc/hosts file, in the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file, and on the F12 client. Everything looks good. If I change the dnsmasq.conf file on the server to id the client by MAC address, then the F12 box gets its ip as intended. But not if I just specify the client id in Network Manager. I've looked, and because there *is* Network Manager, there doesn't seem to be a dhclient.conf anymore. I've heard various rumors of there being interface specific variants, but so far I'm not having any luck finding out where the F12 equivalent of dhclient.conf is. One person mentioned /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf, which does contain 'send dhcp-client-identifier "demandred"; along with some comments that the file was created by Network manager and that line was added by it. So... while I can 'make' this work (by including the MAC address) if I need it, I still am at a loss as to why it doesn't seem to be working *right*. At this point I'm starting to wonder if the 'send dhcp-client-identifier "demandred" bit is getting to the dnsmasq server, or if its just not accepting it because its expecting 'send host-name...'? Can someone help me out here? This is driving me nutty. How do I make F12 send the right request to the dhcp server?

updating F12 broke KDE display
Hi;
I just loaded F12 onto my old IBM R51 laptop.
It went fine, everything but USB worked.
I created two users "guest" users Gnome, "mick" uses KDE.
I prefer KDE so logged onto that.
My wireless network connected just fine, the display was fine.
I did a "yum install yumex".
Followed by yumex.
After a big update the KDE screen is broken.
The taskbar is whited out with thin black horizontal lines.
Any program (dolphin) top line max/min/quit shows the same as the taskbar.
Quit does work.
I logged out and back in as "guest: under gnome.
The screen was fine, but no wireless network.
I did not test gnome wireless before the update.
I cannot test wireless in kde now as The menu's are unreadable.
I "userdel" mick and removed /home/mick, then "useradd" mick, same.
This laptop uses an intel centrino motherboard.

F12 installation woes with DVD plus online repositories
Hi all, I'm trying to install Fedora 12 with the installation DVD plus downloading extra packages and updates with an Internet connection to the online repositories for extra packages and updates. However, the speed of the installation process is seriously troubling me. I know that yum is set up to randomly select mirrors for downloads of updates and post-main-installation... isntallation... of other packages selected to be installed through GNOME Package Kit. Would Anaconda use mirrors to download the packages in my case, or are they all coming off of the Fedora Project servers? Would I be better off downloading the updates and extra packages later then?

Perhaps lvm requires a different type? You cannot directly mount an LVM2 physical volume. The idea of the volume manager is that it abstracts storage using a layered model: Physical volumes - actual disks/storage devices Volume groups - collections of related disks that are managed together Logical volumes - virtual "partitions" carved out of the disks in the VG The PV is a container for the LVs that exist in the volume group. You need to activate any LVs that it contains using the commands in my earlier mail before you can mount them. LVs then behave a lot like regular partitions but with more flexibility; they can be resized on the fly, mirrored, snapshotted, migrated to new storage etc all without interruption to services. When you activate an LV or a VG you will get new entries in the /dev directory in a subdirectory named after the volume group. E.g. my VG in the examples I gave was named "system" and it contains a half-dozen or so LVs: # ls /dev/system/ home root swap0 tmp usr var [r...@p380-1 ~]# vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree system 1 11 0 wz--n- 231.66G 88.81G [r...@p380-1 ~]# lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert homesystem -wi-ao 100.00G rootsystem -wi-ao 21.03G swap0 system -wi-ao 8.00G tmp system -wi-a- 1.00G usr system -wi-a- 8.00G var system -wi-ao 4.00G E.g. to mount the tmp logical volume (assuming it's active and not already mounted), I would run: mount /dev/system/tmp /tmp Regards, Bryn. -- 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

You probably have to rename the Group and maybe the Volume so that it is distinctively different from what is already mounted to avoid confusion before you can mount the second hard drive LVM partitions. New name & new UUID, although the script I mentioned will do all of this automatically. With all that said, I don't think that's the case here as the pvdisplay that Bob posted would have complained like this if that were true: # pvdisplay WARNING: Duplicate VG name system: Existing nx2842-uHOV-m05x-ZpxO-Jl88-Rpr5-H14NVk (created here) takes precedence over qNA2zi-ArAk-htTG-5m4t-G4My-DNSW-2jCzE6 WARNING: Duplicate VG name system: Existing nx2842-uHOV-m05x-ZpxO-Jl88-Rpr5-H14NVk (created here) takes precedence over qNA2zi-ArAk-htTG-5m4t-G4My-DNSW-2jCzE6 WARNING: Duplicate VG name system: Existing qNA2zi-ArAk-htTG-5m4t-G4My-DNSW-2jCzE6 (created here) takes precedence over nx2842-uHOV-m05x-ZpxO-Jl88-Rpr5-H14NVk --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name system PV Size 231.66 GB / not usable 1.61 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 7413 Free PE 2842 Allocated PE 4571 PV UUID geCugI-hlFj-udgF-M8Kw-vKD8-9wNB-GpgJSr WARNING: Duplicate VG name system: Existing nx2842-uHOV-m05x-ZpxO-Jl88-Rpr5-H14NVk (created here) takes precedence over qNA2zi-ArAk-htTG-5m4t-G4My-DNSW-2jCzE6 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/loop0 VG Name system PV Size 40.00 MB / not usable 4.00 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 9 Free PE 9 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID qMB7fV-nE0E-kws0-2BsL-qdGq-g22A-68v4zp And would also have reported more than one PV.

You need to use the LVM2 tools to find out what volume group is on the disk and what logical volumes it contains. Then you can activate and mount the devices like any other block device.

Fedora 12 on Sun Blade x6250
Hi I'm trying to install Fedora 12 x86_64 in a Sun Blade x6250 with PXE boot but the installation hangs when loading Anaconda, both in graphical and text mode. I'm using the Sun management tool (Sun eLOM) to do the network install, maybe Fedora requirements are to high to this tool, but does anyone knows a work around? To test the text mode, I just added the word "text" to the end of line "APPEND" in pxelinux.0 file, like: LABEL Fedora 12 x86_64 MENU LABEL Fedora 12 x86_64 KERNEL images/Fedora/12/x86_64/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=images/Fedora/12/x86_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=10 text Thanks Marcelo -- 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
Is anybody using screentoaster with Fedora 12?
Greetings, I am running Fedora 12 x86_64 and I have noticed that I cannot use www.screentoaster.com. The java app used to make screencasts starts, seems to run, but I cannot stop it or control it in any way. For example, there is a pop-up windows to set the audio: if I try to click on the button which should authorize the applet to get audio from my microphone, nothing happens. The pop-up window remains there. I am running firefox-3.5.5-1.fc12.x86_64 and these Java packages: [ma...@polaris ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i java java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-33.b16.fc12.x86_64 java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-33.b16.fc12.x86_64 tzdata-java-2009o-2.fc12.noarch java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.fc12.x86_64 java_cup-0.10k-3.x86_64 Should I disinstall them and use the Sun's version?

When I go to youtube and play a video it works fine.
However if I walk away for a while and then tryto watch something I get no
sound.
I can use dolphin to play a .flv file just fine.
If I quit firefox and start it again it works.

Skype misses webcam on FC12 x86_64
Greetings, I am running Fedora 12 x86_64 with all the updates as of this morning installed and I also enabled the Skype repository. If I install skype 2.0.0.72 via yum, it sees and detects correctly the webcam (/dev/video). When I press "test" I see myself in the skype window. but there is no way to make it use audio. It lists several possible audio in/out devices but none works (this is an ASUS card with an nVidia on-board chipset for video and audio). If I download and start the static binary of skype 2.1.something from the Skype website the opposite happens. Audio is recognized immediately (I've just done a voice call without problems) but skype can't use the webcam. It sees the /dev/video just like the rpm version but when I push the test button nothing happens. There is no error message on the command line. A first search online only returned this page: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=416921 Right now I have that .so file, but in another location: rpm -qa | grep v4l libv4l-0.6.3-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-v4l-0.2.0-3.fc12.1.x86_64 [r...@polaris ~]# rpm -ql libv4l | more /usr/lib64/libv4l /usr/lib64/libv4l/ov511-decomp /usr/lib64/libv4l/ov518-decomp /usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ... and if I try to use it with LD_PRELOAD I get: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. which, I imagine, is due to the fact that the skype static binary I'm using is 32 bit, not 64. Since the webcam is working just fine with Cheese, I would appreciate some feedback before installing something else that could screw things up. Would installing libv4l-0.6.3-1.fc12.i686 solve the problem above without creating other problems? If not, were else should I look to gather more info as to what's causing the webcam problem?

F12 KDE questions
Hello list;
I am running KDE under F12.
When I download a filel I get a popup in the upper right hand corner that tells
me it has finished downloading.
This is in the way.
I prefer the F11 "stack" above the I/O box in the lower right hand corner- how
do I revert to this?
Sometimes all the icons on my desktop get a big bright background box.
If I rollover the icon, or click on the desktop the box disappears.
This sometimes happens to the taskbar too.
I updated downloadhelper - but it fails, the directory is correct.
Thanks

No other custom plugins installed > in Firefox. Obviously, most people don't seem to have any problems with Firefox and Flash if they use the Firefox installation that already comes with Fedora (thanks also to Meng Qiu). Looks like most people don't use the binary packages for Linux you can download from mozilla.org. So I've tried Fedora's Firefox. And guess what? IT WORKS! There must be a major difference in Fedora's copy of Firefox and mozilla.org's Firefox. And after some research I found it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mozilla_NSS_Conflict https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497251 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513024 Summary: The Firefox package from mozilla.org comes with a couple of included libraries that are not fully compatible with Fedora. And Adobe's Flash plugin triggers one of these incompatibilities. This issue is not new to Fedora 12, but also affects Fedora 11. Maybe that's the reason why I had no good results on my searches. A very simple workaround is to use "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreebl3.so" before starting Firefox. That forces Firefox to ignore its internal library and use the one provided by the system. In rare cases, most of Firefox's internal libraries have to be replaced (or simply deleted). The first of the three URLs above shows how. Wow, that was tricky ... But now it works! ;-) I still have to find out why the all-new-and-shiny "nouveau" graphics driver is so much slower than the old "nv" driver. And why does gnome-appearance-properties ignore anything I set as background? But that's a different story. ;-) Thanks folks ...

I don't understand what's going on, because the disk is 350 GB. If I read the outputs below correctly, I now have a boot partition (~200 MB), a swap and a /partition of ~230 GB (ok, they are volumes, not partitions, but the size is that anyway, isn't it?).

Part of hard disk disappeared after installing Fedora 12?
Greetings, I just put a spare disk I had into the computer and installed Fedora 12 x86_64 on it. Installation went fine (I just told anaconda to install a basic desktop and accepted all defaults) except that I seem to be missing some space from the disk. What I mean is that the disk is 350 GB and was divided in several partitions from an earlier Fedora install. My assumption was that anaconda would keep those partitions and install on the one labeled as / Now it seems there is only a swap and a / partition, which could be OK, except that (unless I'm too sleepy right now to think clearly) there are some 100 GB missing: / is ~250 GB and there are partitions "without a partition table". I would like to understand if those partitions are some of the old ones and in such case how to access them. I do have backups of everything, but I would like to figure out which partitions are those. I have pasted below the outputs of fdisk -l and mount. Please don't hesitate to suggest more commands, ask more information etc..

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.

[F12] Firefox + Flash = crash
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.

Re: F12 installs report here.
Hi; I just upgraded from F11 to F12 using the 64 bit DVD. This was from an x64 install of F11 freshly updated minutes before. It went well. I logged in as 'mick', then had to select KDE from the tiny unobtrusive and hard to see taskbar menu, then I entered my password. I got a graphics screen with a little test box in the upper left corner. "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 127. Check your installation" So I logged in again, this time into Gnome. I got the normal gui screen with icons. I tried to run "terminal" or whatever the console is under apps/system. It would not start. I then tried "file manager" dolphin, which also would not start. No message, just nothing. So I ctl-alt-f2 and logged in as root. Then "yum upgrade". Install 54 packages, upgrade 594 packages, 703M download. Once it was done the system works fine in KDE. Although the icon labels are hard to read, dark blue box with black text and white shadowing??? It looks blurry. Also the taskbar is striped diagonally - nasty. Mick M.

I have already restored *both* the MBR backup and the dump output from sfdisk. It isn't that simple. The MBR tells the OS where to find the next boot information on the disk and that will most likely have moved so it won't find it. What else is missing? I am stuck at a blinking cursor at the top left corner of the screen. GRUB is not loading and I am unable to select any kernel to boot. Using System Rescue CD, I am able to activate all the logical volumes and all the volume groups that were restored. I am also able to mount all the logical volumes and access the restored filesystems.

That is, will this work? cd /boot mv upgrade /tmp/upgrade ln -s /tmp/upgrade upgrade You can move some of the files in that directory, most notably the install.img file, but it has to be onto a non-LVM filesystem (LVM seems only to be started up after this file is loaded) and you have to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to tell the system where to find it or tell it during the boot (it will ask you for the partition and path to the file within the partition if it doesn't find it).

Assuming that the LV given above is a whole-disk image containing a DOS MBR partition table: dd if=/dev/virtualmachines/windows7-x64 of=/tmp.mbr.img bs=512 count=1 You could also do the same with the loopN device that you set up earlier, although I still don't see the need for that step. > 1) re-create the physical volume (PV) > > 2) re-create the volume group > > 3) assign the PV to the volume group > > 4) restore the LVM metadata, i.e. the configuration files for all the > logical volumes > > 5) restore the MBR of my domU > > 6) restore the filesystems of my domU Should work fine, just be sure to test each step so that you are confident and comfortable with it before you find yourself needing to do this in anger.

Since they use sector remapping to recover failed errors and ECC/parity codes to recover data errors. As sectors have to be remapped elsewhere on disk seek overheads will increase. There may also be further penalties as the recoverable media error rate rises, i.e. the disk has to issue repeated reads to correctly retrieve the data for a particular sector. Sometimes you'll see this acutely when a sector is failing - the drive will appear to go out to lunch for a moment when the tricky sector is accessed. If spare sectors are still available a write to the offending location may cause the drive to spare it out and avoid the problem for a while. Looking at the S.M.A.R.T. reports for the drive can help you understand if this is the problem for a particular system.

Depends how you look at it - most comment notations have a line-delimiter (e.g. # in apache). This only requires examining the first character of the line to know that the rest must be ignored (of course the entire line must still be read into memory which does impose overhead especially if there are many lines of commentary as is often the case for default config files). Block comments do require consuming characters until the end-of-comment token is reached. > Computer users nightmare number 9: Part way through the installation > process, a message pops up, "You're going to need a bigger boat" Nice way of putting it!

That will try to execute the name of the remote host as though it was a command (backticks expand on the remote host and the output of the hostname command is used as the command line). $ ssh abox '`hostname`' bash: abox.example.com: command not found Bryn. -- 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

You'll then hit another problem because you want to have nested backticks (one pair for basename and another for hostname). Bash supports '$()' as an alternative to backticks that does allow nesting - writing $(hostname) is equivalent to `hostname` and allows you to write $(basename $(hostname)). I'm not sure basename is going to do what you want here though - are you looking for the short host name or the domain name? The basename command separates components of a path based on the '/' (or whatever the system defined path separator is). E.g.: $ DNS=$(basename $(hostname)) $ echo $DNS breeves.fab.redhat.com If you just want the short hostname you can pass -s to hostname: $ ssh pe1950-1.gsslab hostname -s pe1950-1 Or the domain with -d: $ ssh pe1950-1.gsslab hostname -d gsslab.fab.redhat.com Have a look at the man page for hostname for more options.

Just remove the backticks and quotes around hostname? for i in server1 server2;do ssh r...@$i hostname;done The backticks tell the shell (on your machine) to run the command inside the backticks and replace that part of the command line with the output of the command so you actually end up with a command line like: for i in server1 server2;do ssh r...@$i mylocalhostname;done.
