F9 'top' output: cpu usage of busy process over 100 percent ??
I have just freshly installed Fedora 9, and the 'top' command gives me following output: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 5720 root 20 0 186m 138m 9164 R 101.0 6.9 2:49.70 yum 3768 root 20 0 382m 26m 7912 S 4.2 1.3 1:05.96 Xorg 1 root 20 0 1948 768 560 S 0.0 0.0 0:01.68 init As you can see, at this particular time incident, the yum process consumes 101.0 percent of CPU. This must be an error. Is it? Also, I've never noticed this before, I therefor think this is introduced with F9 or F8 (I used F7 until today).

F9 & GDM 2.22 : cannot define multiple login servers anymore?
Hello, Fedora 9 ships with a newer version of GDM (2.22), for which the gdmsetup is missing. I found many discussions on people also missing the setup utility. However, I couldn't find an answer to my problem: Before F9, I had GDM configured to produce 3 login screens on my PC, on vt7, vt8 and vt9, simply by having this line in /etc/gdm/custom.conf : [servers] 0=inactive 7=Standard vt7 8=Standard vt8 9=Standard vt9 I tried to add this manually to the file, but it does not seem to work anymore. Has anybody an idea how I can integrate this with GDM 2.22 ? Thank you, Rob. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Intel video driver 2.8.1 is available; when in repository?
Hi, On August 25th a new release 2.8.1 of the intel video driver became availalble: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-August/046978.html The current one (2.7.0) is suffering from too many bugs. Is there any plan to make the new release available in the yum reporsitory of Fedora 11?

qt4 assistant has only empty fields...!?!
Hi, I have installed qt4-devel, in order to use designer-qt4. That is OK, but the assistant-qt4 that comes with it, opens with blank fields, no entries at all. I'm running up-to-date Fedora 11, intel 32 bits version. Does anyone have a solution to remedy this? Thank you.

missing dependency with qt4-devel for assistant-qt4
Hi, I planned to write a program with Qt, using the designer-qt4. Installing qt4-devel pulled in lots of other dependencies. When I started the designer-qt4 and clicked on 'help' in the menu, this opened assistant-qt4 completely empty: no contents and no index at all. It took me a while to figure out that apparently the qt-doc had not been installed. Installing "qt-doc.noarch" solved the problem. Therefore I assume that this is a missing dependency of qt4-devel, which comes with the assistant-qt4, but not automatically with the necessary documentation to make the assistant work!

Re: F11 dvd media errors
Smae thing happened with me with F11 DVD. I was thinking it had to do more with the nuances of DVD burning than anything else. I have an older DVD r/w drive in my Fedora box and I burned it very quickly with another DVD writer using a DVD -R that was standard at best. What I did was burn slower and use the "best" DVD +R media that I know of to get a clean burn of the DVD. After that, everything worked fine. My advice: - Get the most recommended/best DVD media you can - Slow it up. Burn at a slow rate (IMO produces a higher quality/better burn of DVD) -Rob > I see a problem which may be identical to the original report, but the > solution discovered does not fit. > > Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso has precisely the correct checksum after download. > Burn to DVD, boot, fails media test.

F10 + Xfce: since yum update, File Manager (Thunar) freezes system....
Hi, I'm using up-to-date version of Fedora 10. Ever since I have updated around April 19th or so, Thunar (the file manager of Xfce) grinds the system to a stand still. Nothing works anymore (even remote login in impossible) and I have to power down/up to reboot. This happens on two very different PCs of mine, so I'm sure this is software related. Since I did not notice this behaviour before, I tend to believe that it has to do with a recent update. This is very bad. I wouldn't mind if Thunar itself crashes, but bringing the whole OS down is too dramatic and I suspect some underlying library support to be the culprit. Anybody else sees this? Any idea what is the reason for this?

F12 fresh install: "kernel: INFO: task foobar:123 blocked for more than 120 seconds"
Hi, Today I have freshly installed F12 on a x86_64 PC (with four 1TB hard disks in a BIOS/JMicron Raid10). I keep getting afore mentioned lines in my /var/log/messages, followed by many more lines with complicated hex numbers and a long kernel trace. The system keep runnings, although I seem to notice occassional system 'hic-ups'; I mean, unusual slower responses. However, the system does not crash nor come to a grinding stand-still Nevertheless, I find these messages quite annoying! Here is the output of `grep "INFO: task " /var/log/messages`: Nov 23 19:08:20 localhost kernel: INFO: task pdflush:72 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

diskless with /usr on nfs: mount.nfs depends on /usr/lib/libtirpc.so !?!
Hi, I'm using an up-to-date Fedora 12 with nfs-utils. I'm setting up a diskless client, which will share most of its system file system with the server; e.g. the client will have a root-ramdisk and mounts /usr over nfs; a rather standard procedure explained on the web. However, somehow the diskless client was unable to mount /usr over nfs, and (after pulling out my hair for a while) I suddenly discovered that the /sbin/mount.nfs actually depends on a library on /usr: $ ldd /sbin/mount.nfs | grep usr libtirpc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libtirpc.so.1 libgssglue.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgssglue.so.1 The executable which mounts /usr depends on a library that is not mounted yetthe snake seems to bite its own tail here! When I copied the two libraries (the library and their links) to /usr, the client could easily nfs-mount the /usr directory!! Am I missing something here, or is this a serious bug in the yum/rpm package of nfs-utils? I'm using: nfs-utils-lib-1.1.4-8.fc12.i686 nfs-utils-1.2.1-4.fc12.i686 Thanks, Rob. -- 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 seems to be more likely an error in the library packages: libtirpc-0.2.0-4.fc12.i686 libgssglue-0.1-8.fc12.i686 Their libraries should be installed in /lib NOT in /usr/lib !! Other people encountered this before, for example: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/eldk/2008-January/61.html http://lists.mandriva.com/bugs/2009-11/msg05425.php So I wonder why it has not been fixed in F12.

How do I figure hardware compatibility when the vendor lists only RedHat?
Hi, I'm looking at several different vendors for hardware RAID. The box I intend the RAID for will be built with Fedora Core 8. The problem is that the vendors don't list Fedora Core at all under Linux systems. What versions of RedHat should I look for in the vendor's compatibility lists to know whether the card is compatible with Fedora Core 8.
