Hello, sort of off-topic as F18 has been released, but here probably other ones tested on this kind of server during release cycle I start from DVD iso on iDRAC and after selecting install (both nomal/default and troubleshooting--> basic video drivers) I land at dracut shell saying dracut-initqueue Warning could not boot dracut-initqueue Warning /dev/root doesn't exist See screenshot of last lines of the command journalctl from dracut shell https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvVHpJLTkzZS1RTkE/edit Any hint?

usb disk or key always have two entries in explorer
Hello, running Fedora 18 with latest updates. When I plug in an usb key or a usb disk I get two entries in file manager as from this screenshot: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvTEw5Sy1JMTk4aEE/edit The first entry if I click gives this error as from this image: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvOWJaQ3hHV1NNNFE/edit The second one gives the authentication window and then I can access the files.

Another test I've done with final TC1 is to select Troubleshooting --> Install with basic graphics mode It arrives at language selection screen and blocks.

Neither Ctrl-Alt-Del sorts any effect in this state This is a blade and I'm using onboard administrator to install.

Add-on: after yesterday updates at guest f18 side, now it works without tablet too. Note that another change I did was the line hvm that I previously had as pc-0.14 because I recycled an f17 guest config file fro scratching it. It seems instead that I simulate creation of a f18 guest right now, it sets pc-0.15 (also due to updates at server side since when I first created the vm some moths ago). But reverting to pc-0.14 now mouse keeps working so it is not the main point. I'll keep testing this way without tablet for the moment.

I remembered my opinion due to a past thread in spice-devel mailing list last year. Specifically, after a quick search: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2011-October/005669.html when Arnon said: " Before the following, remove the "-usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0" from qemu line and run it again with the xp guest. There is no need for it when using the agent. " That thread was specific with a Windows XP guest but at that time I understood that with recent virt-manager and spice (as F17 and F18 are) the tablet was not required overall if you used the agent... and I noticed that by default my f18 guest has spice-vdagent package installed and service configured at boot SO the question is if my assumption is correct... Also this other thread in this mailing list let me consider not to use a tablet... http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-December/104731.html But with fedora 18 guest I have no mouse at all in this case...

It seems it was an usb3 problem. In fact my external usb disk is usb3 and I was able to use it connected to the usb3 port of my laptop without any problem in F16. As I saw some usb reset messages during boot I also tried to put the usb3 disk into an usb2 port and the installation worked like a charm (just writing from f17 reinstalled system) btw: the working line put in grub was linux /boot/vmlinuz.f17 repo=hd:sdb1:/f17 Strange enough, the installed system is able to use the usb3 disk connected to the usb3 port without any problem, but probably the anaconda kernel is different in options supported in respect with the installed one? It would be worth a note, if this is a case in general for usb3 support during install I came to this test day link below, but not had the time to see all the notes/bz in reference section... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-03-13_USB_3.0 My laptop is an Asus U36SD Gianluca -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Better or advised configuration approach for Optimus based systems
Hello, I have an Asus U36SD laptop, with Optimus technology. I'm not sure if my current approach is the correct/more safe one. I think more and more devices are going to have this technology, so this could be a cue to address future F17 potential users problems At the moment I have F16 x86_64 on it and I'm planning to reserve a partition for upcoming F17 tests. So I would like to get an advise on best current approach for configuring such systems in Linux in general, but in Fedora in particular. Some items requesting for comments, also in terms of Fedora decisions if already taken/discussed - my current hw config # lspci -vnnn|grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:1050] (rev ff) (prog-if ff) - I disabe Nvidia discrete card with acpi_call kernel module. as described by Michal Kottman in a 2010 thread (I think it is still true): "Optimus does not work on Linux (yet). Meanwhile, you can save the battery by using acpi_call to turn your (unused) discrete GPU off." So I'm using his acpi-call_240611.orig.tar.gz from ironhide (I have to check new versions), putting in /etc/rc.d/rc.local #!/bin/bash echo "Disabling Nvidia video adapter..." | tee -a /var/log/nvida_disabled.log /sbin/modprobe acpi_call echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0.DOFF' > /proc/acpi/call - Also, I boot with the parameter i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 My current boot command line is cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 root=UUID=ce058d6c-d2ed-49e5-9869-965799f246a5 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 elevator=deadline What about i915_enable_rc6 not being the default...? Does still put stability problems? Does it make sense to enable it or not by default based on different adapters/chipsets? In my case it gives me about 1hour and a half of battery life more - What should I do with nouveau kernel module? Should I put inside boot option also something like nouveau.nomodeset=0 ? At this time I have nouveau loaded, but nvidida adapter disabled (with acpi_call) $ sudo lsmod | grep nouv nouveau 580663 0 ttm55029 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 26490 2 nouveau,i915 drm 194476 6 nouveau,ttm,i915,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit4958 2 nouveau,i915 mxm_wmi 1727 1 nouveau i2c_core 25728 7 videodev,i2c_i801,nouveau,i915,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit video 12388 2 nouveau,i915 - Right now I'm just using the 2.17.0 Xorg intel driver, shipped as an update today in Fedora 16 Based on this page it should have many bug fixes and improvements: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAxNjU BTW: is the Intel driver in Fedora 16 currently built with "--enable-sna" option or planned to be ? So if there are any advises regarding the points above, I will try and follow them for both F16 and upcoming F17 tests. Thanks in advance for your time.

sometimes sighup needed for gnome-shell
Hello, this question is mainly related to F16, but perhaps relevant for current rawhide too. Eventually I'm going to test this problem with rawhide too... I didn't have these problems with rc2/rc3 or first final F16 kernel... On my system with corei7 and sandybridge I'm noticing problems in gnome-shell with latest kernel (after the 16 release one). Donna if related to kernel itself and/or the recently updated libdrm. Sometimes (latest days at least one time a day), the gnome session goes unusable: I'm able to move mouse, but when selecting a menu item it is greyed but no drop down of its options appears, no alt-tab or alt-f2 possibility Only way to come back to usable state is going into a console window (Ctrl+Alt-F2), searching for gnome-shell process id and run kill -SIGHUP Then come back to X windows system session that has become usable again (Ctrl+Alt+F2 and come back to X doesn't give any result if I don't kill sighup gnome-shell) I think I began to have this behaviour after kernel-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 btw: I'm using this option at boot (but I was using it with 3.1.0 kernel too) i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

F16 selecting kde and deselecting gnome: gdm-shell error
Hello, trying to test https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731245 as from the message [Test-Announce] Remaining F16 blockers and F16 planning I installed from f16tc2 vmlinuz+initrd.img inside a kvm guest with direct kernel boot. host is f15+virt-preview and selected spice as video adapter At sw selection during install I chose to: - customize - select kde - deselect gnome Installation completed but at first boot I completed the normal user definition and sent profile, but then instead of login window I get a window with message: failed to load session "gdm-shell" and a logout button I would expect kdm instead of gdm and kdm has been installed [root@f16tc2 ~]# type kdm kdm is /usr/bin/kdm The same flow but leaving default (gnome selected during install and no selection for kde) leads to a system where I can correctly use gdm, instead Are my install choices supported?

Error adding second ide disk in virt-manager
Hello,
I have F15 + virt-preview environment.
I configured a vm with "kernel 2.6 with virtio" (in virt-manager.log I
get "OS: linux:virtio26").
Then I changed config and deleted disk0 and created it as an ide disk.
Booting from CD I installed the OS without problems.
I then added a second ide disk.
Now I get an error on start after adding this second ide disk
Error starting domain: internal error Process exited while reading

the relevant part written in xml file is indeed:
With virsh edit I change the second to
and I'm able to boot with the new second disk in place...
Do I have to file a bug or is this an "unsupported" way of operation
(create as 2.6+virtio and then remove virtio disk and use ide)?

Ok. I see only now that I missed the envytools part of the link path So the added support is about these tools only and not the driver itself... sorry At http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames my card NVD9 (GF119) appears inside the section: "Not all of these cards already work well using Nouveau, development is in progress" So I'll keep up checking if there is improved support in the near future.

But it is not quite usable in my case because it is the opposite of the physical layout Perhaps it is a problem of the top bar representing a top limit for windows placement?

nouveau and multimonitor with mutter problems
Hello, I'm trying here as F15 has been just released. Perhaps same problem in rawhide too.. During latest days I have tested my XPS M1330 Dell laptop with nvidia proprietary drivers and now I'm evaluating switching to nouveau. I have final F15 x86_64. No xorg.conf file and no nvidia rpm bits. I connect a 19" monitor to vga. Starting in fallback mode all is ok and I can configure laptop (1280x800) under monitor (1280x1024). In gdm the login box is inside laptop and I can see background inside the monitor too. After login my top bar is positioned at top of laptop display. I can drag windows from top to bottom display crossing the top bar and vice versa. The status bar is at bottom of laptop. If I set the default gnome 3 with effects, I have the same behaviour at gdm login, and the same positioning of top bar after login. But Inside the external monitor I see the background image, without being able to put windows in this monitor. When dragging a window it stops right under the top bar, no way. And all new windows are opened inside laptop display. If I use the classic Alt+drag operation I can traverse top bar and arrive with top part of this window about half height of the external monitor My nvidia adapter is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1) In system settings --> graphics I see the driver detected as Gallium 0.4 on NV86 in both fallback mode and standard mode xrandr gives: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1824, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS-1 connected 1280x800+0+1024 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 287mm x 180mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 1024x768 59.9 800x60059.9 640x48059.4 720x40059.6 640x40060.0 640x35059.8 VGA-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60072.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x48072.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x40070.1 HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) $ cat /proc/cmdline ro root=UUID=91e7d1a8-7208-491c-ba3e-47ec918f66d6 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet elevator=deadline $ lsmod|grep nouve nouveau 525018 2 ttm55120 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 27515 1 nouveau drm 187984 4 nouveau,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit5014 1 nouveau i2c_core 25468 6 i2c_i801,videodev,nouveau,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit video 12432 1 nouveau $ lsmod|grep nvi $ Any hint on using gnome 3 standard or otherwise to have fallback mode to work as a full gnome 2.x?

In my case the only way to add the printer was to open the browser at http://localhost:631 cupsd service and add from there (even if it was particularly slow... in respect with previous "add printers" experiences from web page) The only lines I saw in /var/log/messages when trying to add the printer from the menu option were: May 19 10:45:48 ope46 dbus: [system] Activating service name='net.reactivated.Fprint' (using servicehelper) May 19 10:45:48 ope46 dbus: [system] Successfully activated service 'net.reactivated.Fprint' May 19 10:46:26 ope46 dbus: [system] Activating service name='net.reactivated.Fprint' (using servicehelper) May 19 10:46:26 ope46 dbus: [system] Successfully activated service 'net.reactivated.Fprint' May 19 10:46:38 ope46 dbus: [system] Activating service name='org.opensuse.CupsPkHelper.Mechanism' (using servicehelper) May 19 10:46:38 ope46 dbus: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.opensuse.CupsPkHelper.Mechanism' May 19 10:47:18 ope46 dbus: [system] Activating service name='org.opensuse.CupsPkHelper.Mechanism' (using servicehelper) May 19 10:47:18 ope46 dbus: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.opensuse.CupsPkHelper.Mechanism' When creating printer from cups web page a few minutes later that was successfull but very slow, I can find this in /var/log/cups/error_log file: W [19/May/2011:10:54:19 +0200] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) W [19/May/2011:10:54:19 +0200] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) W [19/May/2011:10:54:19 +0200] failed to CreateDevice: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) W [19/May/2011:10:54:44 +0200] failed to CreateProfile: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:Did not receive a reply.

After closing and reopening libreoffice, it was able to use the new printer.

gnome3 and removable devices...

Actually in my F15 RC3 system when I plug an usb key and open explorer, if I right click on this usb device line I can see both "Eject" and "Safely remove Drive" icons So it seems to me the same behaviour as in F14 (apart from the desktop icon).

Hello. try to install rc2 in a vm host is F14+virt-preview guest is configured with spice guest was a pre-existing f15 beta + updates (till some days ago) I chose to install new and selected my partitions asking to format all. It concludes ok, but at reboot I get the situation in attached image... no way... I selected default graphical desktop withount any customization Any hints? I could start with a live cd and send installation logs eventually I attach also output of virsh dumpxml for this vm I don't see this bug in blocker list still opened bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617261 Gianluca <> f15 aefbb30c-b97f-3bdd-6f12-bcbcae36534c 786432 786432 2 hvm destroy restart restart /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
info on installing f15 on pre-existing ext4 partition
Currently on my F14 system I have my / and my /f13 partitions already on ext4. This last one was a previosuly F13 root filesystem I kept when installing f14 so I always have a dual environment when upgrading. So I'm going to install my f15 inside my ex f13 partition and I'm considering whether reformat it or not. Based on below considerations it seems there is no added features/flags in ext4 as delivered in f15 compared with f13, correct? The "mount" command of my f14 shows: /dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw) /dev/sda7 on /f13 type ext4 (rw) and /etc/fstab: UUID=efdaf0c7-d6d5-4558-827e-3473f723f0ee / ext4 defaults1 1 /dev/sda7 /f13ext4defaults1 2 and tune2fs -l for both: Filesystem revision #:1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize Filesystem flags: signed_directory_hash Default mount options:user_xattr acl I tried an f15 clean beta install vm and mount command shows: /dev/mapper/vg_f15-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered) and fstab /dev/mapper/vg_f15-lv_root / ext4defaults1 1 and tune2fs -l: Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize Filesystem flags: signed_directory_hash Default mount options:user_xattr acl So it seems the same set of features... what would you advice? btw: In f14 and f15 mount man page: The ext4 filesystem enables write barriers by default. ordered: This is the default mode Is it a sort of "mount" command improvement to have it showing if barriers are enabled or not and data=xxx setting (vs f14 not showing nothing)? relatime: what is default in general for ext4 fs?

different output between yum and gpk-update-viewer behind proxy
Hello, I just installed f14 beta as a vm inside rh el 5 host some days ago and didn't have time to test a lot. This morning I wanted to update and with graphical window I got "all software is up to date" (see attachment) Doubtfully, I ran "yum update" and actually got [r...@f14 gcecchi]# yum update Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again This probably because my host itself is behind a proxy and I suppose I have to configure the same proxy inside the vm (I'm using virbr0 in guest). Anyway I think output messages should be consistent between the two tools... I don't know if already fixed in upcoming finale release... BTW: after putting proxy=... inside yum.conf I correctly got both by console and by gui the list of packages...
