I had problems like this several times but the install went fine though...

You can try this: put your dvd in the drive (it sould be automatically
mounted...)

Then, as root, mount the image file you downloaded:

mount -o loop fedora-14-i386-dvd.iso /mnt


Then make a diif between both directory /mnt and /media/fedora-14 from
the dvd and see what happens.

 Some of the config files are now in different directories,

 Hope that helps (and yes I went through this with some testing and

Hi

Some refs that might help

Not happy with this myself as I am using evo with F13 and F14
with the same home dir.

I do not trust the db not to get confused if I leave the link
below present when jumping between 13 and 14.

End result - my folders have all been migrated across and I am only
invoking evo in F14 at present

John

These are my words

F14 evolution now saves local email directories in
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local
instead of ~/.evolution/mail/local
The first invocation of the new evo seems to move the contents across 
This means that when running F13 evo only standard directories are
shown
ln -s ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local ~/.evolution/mail/local
enables F13 evo to see the original dirs but if the link is left there
and F14 evo runs
will the local DB become replicated/corrupted?

 Also, another hostname could be used, and so long as it was accessible,
 it could be used, instead.

 e.g. file://server/bookmarks.html


Hmm, my ignorance is showing. I wondered about the third slash but
entering the location under Open File in Firefox inserted it and I
simply used it. I will remember that.

Opera is not my normal browser, just tried it on a whim since I had

Could be misinformation. ;) The .fcXX dist tag in the package release
value has never been mandatory. Packagers can still choose to not add
the corresponding %{?dist} macro to an RPM package spec file. Using
%{?dist} is not 100% safe. It is helpful with some aspects of package
maintenance, but also adds some pitfalls.

Then they would be in the orphans list, and they would eventually be dropped if 
a new maintainer didn't step up to the plate.  At least that's my reading of 
the packaging guidelines; Michael is free to correct me, as he's been more 
closely involved over the years.

If a package from, say, Red Hat Linux 5.2 (not RHEL5, but old-school RHL) were 
to run unmodified directly on F14 (don't know any that do, but 5.2 is the 
oldest dist I still have running in a production setting (not connected to the 
Internet!)) then why would a rebuild be needed?  

Ten years ago I was contracted by a company to build RPM's of PostgreSQL 7 for 
a number of different distributions.  I was pleasantly surprised at how 
portable (to a degree) packages for different distribution versions were... 
even packages for a whole different distribution can be made portable, to a 
degree, as long as package names (for dependencies) are the same, and the 
versions are fairly close for most required packages.  Essentially, I could 
take pains to make the dependencies as generic as possible, and I could install 
one distribution's package directly on another.  Now, since I was being paid to 
do this, I did do native builds for all the supported distributions; but for 
testing it was fun to cross-install packages.

And I know of several commercial packages that are portable in this way.  
VMware Workstation, when it was still distributed as RPM, was like this.  
CodeWeavers' CrossOver is still distributed in a distribution-independent RPM.  
The Fluendo DVD player, Media Center, and codec packs are distributed in 
distribution-independent RPM's.  And there are other examples.

So, as Michael said, don't read too much into dist tags; they're there only as 
a hint, not as a hard dependency.

Little niggle with a preupgraded F13-F14 (was:Re: End of life for FC12?)

On Saturday, November 13, 2010 06:40:03 pm Kevin Fenzi wrote:
 I almost never have issues on os upgrades anymore. The last 2 machines
 here I upgraded from 13-14 just worked. I didn't have to change
 anything at all. 

I had my first issue with such this cycle; F12-F13 on this box went well, but 
I hit a snag with this one, but it was somewhat my own doing.  

I had forgotten that I had moodle installed, and, a while back, moodle kept 
failing to upgrade during yum updates.  Since I wasn't actively using it, I 
didn't file a bug report at the time.  I had intended to remove moodle (and all 
my PlanetCCRMA packages that don't have upgrades yet to F14), but forgot to do 
so.  Made a really good learning opportunity!

The moodle issue threw Anaconda for a loop, and generated a fatal error during 
package install (it looks like a corrupt package during execution).  This was 
about 85% through the upgrade.

I should really do a scratch F13 install, install moodle, do the preupgrade, 
and see if I can duplicate so I can file a proper bugzilla report; I just 
simply was in a rush.

But the tools yum provides were able to fix the issue, but I did have to boot 
using the F13 kernel, since the initramfs for the F14 kernel wasn't there.  One 
niggle: yum-complete-transaction didn't see any incomplete transactions, but 
there was one from Anaconda.  Like I said, I need to file a complete report.  
And next time be more diligent.

In a nutshell, package-cleanup --cleandupes then yum update, then I removed 
all but the currently running F13 kernel, and then reinstalled the F14 kernel, 
and rebooted into the F14 kernel.  And the box is running fine.  In the old 
days this would have been a reinstall, but the yum tools have really gotten 
robust.

 I've never demeaned Fedora.  There are things I don't like to be sure, but 
 that can be said of all things.  I've been using it since FC3 after trying a 
 dozen or so other distros before settling on it as my primary desktop OS. So 
 that says something.  And I'm VERY particular.  It's just that over the years 
 Fedora's development model and my needs have diverged.  And it's time to move 
 on.

I would recommend you take a look at a RHEL6 rebuild when they become 
available.  RHEL6 (and thus the rebuilds) are based off of essentially F12 with 
some F13 stuff in there, and you can then have the same setup for five years.  
Now, when the time does come to upgrade to, say CentOS 7, you will have a much 
harder time of it.  But if you like what you have, and you're used to the 
Fedora tools and setup, either CentOS 6 or Scientific Linux 6, both in the 
early stages of building, should fit your bill.  SL6 is already available in a 
'pre-alpha' form; the pre-alpha meaning that, while the upstream source 
packages are stable, the process and binaries built may not be.

You will still be getting quarterly updates that can be more major than you 
might think; Red Hat is very good about backporting stuff, but every once in a 
while it becomes necessary to do a version upgrade of some package, like 
Firefox for one, that can cause more grief than you might think.  But, all in 
all, my experience running CentOS (2.1, 3, 4, and 5) has been very smooth.

The old Red Hat Linux advice was always 'skip the X.0 release, test the X.1 
release, use the X.2 release' but then 7 came along (which most everybody 
called 7.0), 7.3 came along (which to many people, was not as stable as 7.2 had 
been), 8.0 came along, and then there was 9.  The most stable releases of 
Fedora have always seemed to be the ones right before a new RHEL, and the least 
stable the ones right after a new RHEL; this hasn't been true in a while, 
although I'll have to admit that going from F8 to F9 tried my patience; KDE 4 I 
really didn't need, I was productive in KDE 3.5.10.  Enough that I went Kubuntu 
8.04 LTS for a while, but after seeing that the grass wasn't any greener (in 
fact, it was browner!) in Kubuntu-land came back with F11, which seemed nice 
and solid.  And there were quite a few more than the previous three Fedora 
releases between RHEL5 and RHEL6.

And I'm now as productive in KDE 4 as I was in 3.5.10.  But it did take a while.

was an upgrade, not a fresh install.

 If you want your OS to last 5 to 7 years, your package

 to be old.  To paraphrase Babbage, I am not able
 rightly to apprehend
 the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such
 requirements.

 That's okay as long as the OS is current when it is installed and will be 
 supported for those 5 years or so.  (I'm not a cutting edge type of person.  
 It matters little to me whether something is new or old as long as it works 
 and satifies my requirements.)  I wouldn't install, say, CentOS 5, on a new 
 or old system today and not expect problems, either today or later.  That's 
 why I'm waiting for CentOS 6 or Debian 6, etc. to be released before doing 
 anything to my current 4 year old system--Fedora 12 64-bit.

I will probably be using CentOS-5.5 or later until CentOS-7 comes out. RHEL6 is 
dropping xen, and the little utility boxes I seem to build for firewall or 
similar don't have HVM and can't support KVM. Hopefully xen will be back in 
mainline soon, and people will have a choice how they want to run things.

anacron broken after upgrade from 13 to 14

None of the daily or weekly jobs have run since upgrading to fedora 14.

All the bits seem to be in place as you describe so it
should be working. I downgraded crontabs back to crontabs.noarch 
0:1.10-33.fc14
on one of the two machines. I am in the process of run diffs on the

After seeing this bug, I checked on my cron jobs and found
they were not working either. After a bit of investigation
I found the crontabs problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653132

Work around: Find any crontab that is using run-parts
and make sure you add a trailing / to the directory name
passed as an argument. (I think :-).

Ya,

I found this from the diffs of the old run-parts and new.
I added the slash and am waiting to see if things work.

OLD:
 for i in $(LC_ALL=C; echo $1/*[^~,]) ; do

NEW:
 for i in $(LC_ALL=C; echo $1*[^~,]) ; do

You should explain more about how you created an encrypted partition.
The normal way to do this is to select to encrypt when doing an install.
luks is used to do the encryption and prompting for a password is
integrated with the boot process.

Yes I am using luks,
I encriptyed the partition

When the machine in booted without trying to mount the encrypted 
partition,

I just make a luksOpen, and then I can mount it.
During the install, I did not require any encryption.

I set the /etc/crypttab
home-crypt  UUID=5fcf268d-4729-4c70-949d-36e979241422   none

I do not get any complain from this.

but with:

/dev/mapper/home-crypt /mnt/tmpext4 
defaults,noatime1 2


in /etc/fstab, I cannot boot.

I got the UUID from:
blkid /dev/mapper/home-crypt



The normal way to do this is to select to encrypt when doing an install.

I've never heard of such a thing, and it would be a big project.  I
hope someone knows of one, it would be convenient.

As far as I'm aware, the way to do this is to create a build tree in
your home directory,
rpmdev-setuptree
and then get the src.rpm package,
yumdownloader --source package name
and install it in the build tree, as a user.
rpm -ivh package name
Once this is done, move to the SPEC directory,
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPEC
and run the rpmbuild command to unpack everything.
rpmbuild -bp package name.spec
At this point the source will be unpacked in
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/package name
You can then look at it with the editor of your choice.

  Since FC6 (I've been using Fedora since Core 3), I've
 only upgraded with every third release--6-9-12.  I

 faster.  It takes almost the 6 month release cycle to
 get everything working smoothly anyway.  Then chuck it
 all and start anew with a new set of problems?  No
 thanks.
 
 I went from 6-13 on one machine, had some drivers for
 custom hardware which new 
 driver models didn't support. Finally the USB passthru in
 KVM got good enough to 
 run in a VM, and I do.

Custom hardware isn't required to have new release issues.  Just older hardware 
is good enough, particularly peripherials.  And they don't have to be that old. 
 For example, my Samsung ML-1710 laser printer has been discontinued for 4 
years or so.  I bought mine in 2006.  No problems.  FC6's CUPS had the driver.  
So, did F9 when I upgraded to it a year or so later, but F12 didn't.  Support 
had been dropped due to it being discontinued (I guess).  Samsung's dedicated 
driver had problems with F12.  Or, perhaps, it was the other way around.  
Fortunately, I was able to find a third party compatible driver through the 
LinuxPrinting site.  

Now, there is nothing wrong with the printer.  I've used it daily in my 
business since I bought it.  Have gone through 4 or 5 toner cartridges, and  
reams and reams of paper.  One of these days, it will finally die and I'll 
replace it, but I resent having to replace something that works perfectly well 
simply because support has been dropped due solely to time and not lack of 
demand.

Another reason, I'm looking for Long Time Support in my next OS.

If you mean for the package spec files, patches, etc, then gitweb is
what you'd use:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=puppet.git

Replace puppet with whatever package you want to view.

If you want to see the full source code for the package, with any
Fedora patches applied, then you want to use fedpkg to clone the
package repository and unpack it.  Something like 'yum install fedpkg'
and then:

fedpkg -a clone puppet
cd puppet

 If you mean for the package spec files, patches, etc, then gitweb is
 what you'd use:

  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=puppet.git

 Replace puppet with whatever package you want to view.

 If you want to see the full source code for the package, with any
 Fedora patches applied, then you want to use fedpkg to clone the
 package repository and unpack it.  Something like 'yum install fedpkg'
 and then:

  fedpkg -a clone puppet
  cd puppet
  fedpkg prep

No - but thanks for the info.
I really wanted to look at the source code of not only
the pakchage (before patches applied by rpmbuild),
but also the patches themselves.

 primary desktop OS. So that says something.  And I'm
 VERY particular.  It's just that over the years
 Fedora's development model and my needs have diverged. 
 And it's time to move on.
 
 I would recommend you take a look at a RHEL6 rebuild when
 they become available.  RHEL6 (and thus the rebuilds)
 are based off of essentially F12 with some F13 stuff in
 there, and you can then have the same setup for five
 years.  [snip]

Both CentOS 6 and SL 6 are on my short list.  As is Debian 6.  Nothing else so 
far, but still investigating.


 You will still be getting quarterly updates that can be
 more major than you might think; Red Hat is very good about
 backporting stuff, but every once in a while it becomes
 necessary to do a version upgrade of some package, like
 Firefox for one, that can cause more grief than you might
 think.  But, all in all, my experience running CentOS
 (2.1, 3, 4, and 5) has been very smooth.

Good to know.  It seems that CentOS is much better supported than SL, too.  (I 
guess those Fermi Lab guys have other things to do. ;-) )  However, SL seems 
noticeably faster than Cent.

 [snip]  The most
 stable releases of Fedora have always seemed to be the ones
 right before a new RHEL, and the least stable the ones right
 after a new RHEL; this hasn't been true in a while, although
 I'll have to admit that going from F8 to F9 tried my
 patience; KDE 4 I really didn't need, I was productive in
 KDE 3.5.10.  Enough that I went Kubuntu 8.04 LTS for a
 while, but after seeing that the grass wasn't any greener
 (in fact, it was browner!) in Kubuntu-land came back with
 F11, which seemed nice and solid.  And there were quite
 a few more than the previous three Fedora releases between
 RHEL5 and RHEL6.

I never liked Ubuntu:  The way it was set up; the way it worked.  And the 
color. Ugh!  Bull shit brown.  Awful.  You only get one chance to make a good 
first impression.  Ubuntu didn't. 

 And I'm now as productive in KDE 4 as I was in
 3.5.10.  But it did take a while.

I left KDE behind in favor of GNOME when I switched from Slackware to Fedora 
Core 3.  Up until that time I found GNOME lacking in many ways except in RAM 
use and CPU cycles.  I'm now looking at LXDE or just running OpenBox (or some 
other window manager) alone as an alternative to GNOME, but more testing is 
required.

Fedora14.Still Impossible Internet.More data.

2010-11-14 Thread Luis Suzuki

Well it seems my problem is related with this one:   bugzilla 649570.However my 
NIC is a Realtek RTL 8102E.
the DHCP discovery packets may not be responded as well.However the 
workaround,does not work for me(place acpi=off or pcie_aspm=off in grub kernel 
boot options).
So,I probably need to completely stop processes that are in charge of 
automaticnetwork discovery and configure all,manually from scratch.
I tried once and it did not work,I did:
chkconfig NetworkManager off/etc/init.d/network stopifconfig eth0 192.168.1.64 
netmask 255.255.255.0/etc/init.d/network start
Note: my DNS server is 192.168.1.254(when auto configured).

Bright minds,

1. Anyone was able to install and operate Legato client v 7.4.4 or
newer on F13? One of its dependencies is libcap.so.1 (Libcap-1.97 is
latest available at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/libcap1/)
isn't part of F13 distro.  libcap.so.2 is.
2. Anyone was able to build and install libcap-1.* on F13 x64?

Last Friday I sent this solution to you off-list. Try it:

$ cd ~/Downloads/Fedora-14-i386-DVD
$ rsync -avxzHP --no-motd 
rsync://rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu/fedora-linux-releases/14/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-14-i386-DVD.iso

Don't forget the trailing space-dot  .

This will replace any corrupted parts of the .iso file you've already
downloaded and produce a working image. It should take no more than
10-20 minutes.

Any patches applied to the package will be in the git repo that fedpkg

 Hi.
 
 I had a working F13 system on my Aspire Laptop. I upgraded to F14 off
 the DVD.
 
 If I boot up and use a F13 kernel, everything is fine. If I boot with
 the F14 kernel, no sound.

It's possible there is a bug in the alsa interface in the F14 version
of the kernel.  Changes are being committed all the time, and maybe one
of them had a regression.

 
 Running the alsamixer shows as if sound is there (the levels jump
 around), but no sound comes out the speakers. I have checked the alsa
 mixer to make sure everything is turned up, and stored the settings
 (alsoctl store 0).
 
 My alsa setup is at
 http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=80...1fd871a78cefd9

Your link doesn't work, the ... is not replaced with the actual link
address.  I assume this was the output of the alsa-info.sh script?

 
 This is on an Aspire 7736Z-4088 running kernel Linux hortlette
 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:36:08 UTC 2010 x86_64
 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 
 Any ideas? I'm flummoxed. Like I said, booting into an F13 kernel and
 everything works fine!

Try running aplay -l, look to see how many sound devices the OS thinks
you have.  Your symptoms sound like you aren't playing sound where you
think you are.  If it turns out to be the case that there is more than
one sound device, you can fix this by putting something
in /etc/modprobe.d or using pavucontrol to assign the sound devices in
pulseaudio.  Sometimes modems and video cards have components that are
interpreted as sound devices, throwing off the placement of sound
devices.

Given you are using 192.168.x.x, you must have a router doing NAT.

ifconfig -a
This will give us a hint if your ethernet interface thinks it's up.
The ping command above will tell us if it's really up and you can ping
your router.

netstat -rn(or ip route)
Either of these commands will give us an idea of your current routing
table.  We need to be certain 192.168.1.254 isn't some other interface
on your PC.  We need to see what your default route actually is.  We
need to make sure you don't have other routes that are interfering with
your ability to get to the Internet.

cat /etc/resolv.conf
This will give us a hint of your current DNS information.

If you can ping the router, and the router is your gateway, and you
still can't get to the Internet, we need to know information about the
router.

Is that router configured as a dhcp server for your local lan?

Does that router do DNS for your local lan?
Can you access your router, examine its configuration, and make sure it
is configured to do DNS for your local lan.

Can you access your router, examine the information for its WAN
interface, and insure it has the correct IP address and DNS information
from your ISP?  I assume your ISP is providing you with a dynamic IP
address.  Tell me if I'm wrong.

Please tell us the DNS information your router has from your ISP.
Please tell us the first number of your WAN dynamic IP address, as
in 24.x.x.x, I don't wish you to advertise your IP address in a public
forum.  I just wish to see you have a reasonable WAN IP address.

Does your router have any special parental features blocking your access
to the Internet?  Does your router have any firewall rules blocking your
access to the Internet?

We may need to know more information about your ISP...I hope we don't.

If you can get to your router, and your router looks okay...meaning
the LAN side looks okay (correct DHCP, etc) and the WAN side looks okay
(correct IP address and DNS information), I will ask about the ISP.

I will ask,
what kind of Internet connection are you using?  xDSL, cable, etc.

Does your ISP require you to log in to their web site to validate your
Internet connection (MAC address) the first time you try to get to the
Internet with a new device (is the router a new device as far as the ISP
is concerned)?  I had a cable company that did something like that...I
don't have that cable company any longer.

i8kuitls bug makes impossible use of F14 on Dell Latitude D820

2010-11-14 Thread Juan R. de Silva
I used i8krllm plugin on F11 and F12 to manage cooling fans on my laptop. 
However, after upgrade to F14 I found the plugin not functioning 
correctly in Auto mode. It does not respect any temperature settings 
anymore. Instead it runs fans at full speed continually and leaves as the 
only option Manual fans management. Imagine this... :-(

Well, it would be pity if I have to stop using Fedora on my laptop due to 
a such stupid bug.

Any one using Dell laptop here? What would be a solution? The laptop gets 
pretty hot otherwise.

Interestingly enough I run across almost the same problem after 
installing openSUSE 11.3.  These guys just do not have i8kutils in their 
repos at all. Though the laptop is slightly cooler then in F14 (who knows 
why?), I am still hesitant to use it without proper fan management. I'll 
try to ask for help on openSUSE newsgroup. See, what they say.

Isn't it weird that 2 of the mainstream distros left on cold quite a 
large number of Dell laptop users.

This is so silly I'm even ashamed to post this follow-up, but I will, to

All my user-defined folders were created under Inbox. Upon the first 
evolution run in F14, Inbox was collapsed. I didn't see the expansion

I couldn't find any bugzilla for this issue in either the fedora

Is it really impossible to use F14, or annoying?  I mean, it sounds
(no pun intended) like you'd have a noisy systembut it would work.

FWIW, these utils seem to be maintained by folks on the Debian side.

This is a d820? I have one here, and have never had to install any tool
to manage the fans, it just works fine out of the box. Perhaps a bios
upgrade is in order?

  Last night, after I successfully upgraded my F13 test desktop from

  The results were not so good.
  
  X86_64, Asus S96J laptop, w/ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 video card,
  IPW3945, 2GB RAM, 350GB disk.
 
 ...snip...
 
  2) X11 no longer starts up.  I'm using the radeon driver for my ATI
  Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600].  It was working just
  fine (as fine can be with the radeon driver), but now it dies with a
  seg fault with only 3 frames on the stack.  I have re-configured to
  run the VESA driver, but, I miss my 1200x800 native resolution.  VESA
  can only do 1024x768.  I can attach my (used to be working) xorg.conf
  for anyone interested, but it fails in exactly the same way if I
  delete it as well. I can try again and send along an Xorg.0.log if it
  will help.
 
 Sure, can you Send the Xorg.0.log attached to your reply to this?
 also, you might try with No /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all, and let the
 driver autodetect things. 
 
 ...snip...
 
  3)  VMWare-Server won't compile.  Seems it can't find the kernel
  headers.  Its looking in /usr/src/linux/include, but that directory
  seems to be missing.  (I built it successfully a number of times under
  F12.)  I have kernel, kernel-devel, and kernel-headers installed.
  That used to be enough for VMWare-server.
 
 kernel-devel should be it, but you must be running the exact same
 version of the kernel as your kernel-devel is for it to work. So: 
 
 yum update
 reboot
 yum install kernel-devel
 
 You may also be using the PAE kernel, which means you want
 kernel-PAE-devel instead of kernel-devel. 
 
  4)  There are a number of python errors during bootup.  They are not
  in DMESG.
 
 Try /var/log/boot.log or /var/log/messages. 
 
  5)  the console screen during bootup contains lines starting with
  [[ mmm. ] messages that were not visible on F12.  It makes
  looking at the [OK] and [Failed] service messges difficult.
 
 Those are timestamps since boot. They can be very usefull to see when a
 message was logged so you know it's old, etc. 

Those messages on the console (with the timestamp) are from
dmesg. These are visible on the console in F14 because rc.sysinit no
longer sets the dmesg logging level, thus all messages from dmesg end
up being written to the console. See dmesg(1) for more
information. If you have an older Fedora machine handy you can look at
rc.sysinit where you will find the following:

# Fix console loglevel
if [ -n $LOGLEVEL ]; then
  /bin/dmesg -n $LOGLEVEL
fi

This is missing from F14.

I'm of the opinion that this should be fixed. Printing dmesg messages
to the console by default is too much.

I was able to get things back to normal by adding 'dmesg -n 3' to
rc.sysinit. If there is a better way, please let me know. Also, if
there is a compelling reason that this was removed from F14, I'd be
interested to know what that reason is.

Re: i8kuitls bug makes impossible use of F14 on Dell Latitude D820

 Well, it would be pity if I have to stop using Fedora on my laptop due
 to a such stupid bug.

 Any one using Dell laptop here? What would be a solution? The laptop
 gets pretty hot otherwise.

 Interestingly enough I run across almost the same problem after
 installing openSUSE 11.3.  These guys just do not have i8kutils in
 their repos at all. Though the laptop is slightly cooler then in F14
 (who knows why?), I am still hesitant to use it without proper fan
 management. I'll try to ask for help on openSUSE newsgroup. See, what
 they say.

 Isn't it weird that 2 of the mainstream distros left on cold quite a
 large number of Dell laptop users.


 I couldn't find any bugzilla for this issue in either the fedora
 bugzilla or  Debian bug system.  Have you filed one?

I think it is one that Kevin mentions below.

 Is it really impossible to use F14, or annoying?  I mean, it sounds
 (no pun intended) like you'd have a noisy systembut it would work.

Well, it all depends of a point of view. Yes, it is possible to work, if 
I would agree to slowly cook my old Latitude D820 friend. 

The temperature keeps almost permanently up to 58-60 degrees C.  It 
probably is not mortal. However, I used to keep it not higher than 48.  
It is much cheaper to replace an overrun fan than any other part of the 
laptop.

Though, one could argue that this is probably a question of a habit of 
mine.

 FWIW, these utils seem to be maintained by folks on the Debian side.

I know. The problem is, their do not provide a source package anymore but 
binary. Thus there is no chance to compile it on my system.

So, it does looks that the thing is available only for Debian and based 
on it distros.

I've tried Ubuntu Maveric, which runs 2.6.35 kernel and did not notice a 
problem.

Well, my BIOS manages fans as it is supposed.  The problem is that, in my 
taste, it is supposed (by design probably ?) to cook a laptop sooner then 
I would see it happen. :-) 

With i8krellm I always kept the CPU temperature below 48 degrees C. True 
- fans run a lot. But again, fan is a cheap part.

Fedora14.Impossible Internet.More and More data.

2010-11-14 Thread Luis Suzuki

Well,forget the router.The router works pretty well with all other OSs I 
have,from Solaris10,FreeBSD8.1,Window7Enterprise,MacOSX,Linuxes etc. as it did 
with Fedora12,Fedora13.I used the management program that came with the 
router(accessed by a web browser from Fedora14)and it tells that DSL OK,ATM 
OK,Ethernet OK,PPP OK,IP OK,Internet OK and connectivity with the gatewayOK,and 
connectivity with DNS servers OK.So,the problem is something in Fedora14.
All below was taken when Gnome NetworkManager was saying that Auto eth0 was 
active and OK.

thunderbird-lightning fails on F12

2010-11-14 Thread Paolo Galtieri
I tried sending this last week, but never saw it on the list.

Recently F12 updated thunderbird to 3.0.10; however, there was no update 
to thunderbird-lightning so I no longer have access to my calendar. 
When I start thunderbird I get a  message saying lightning 1.0b2pre is 
not compatible with thunderbird 3.0.10.  Is there a plan to provide a 
compatible thunderbird-lightning?  Before I upgrade I want to be able to 
export my existing thunderbird settings including my calendar events.

Also the thunderbird addon to provide bidirectional access to google 
calendar no longer works for the same reason.

what does NetworkManager do?  People?

What you need to do is add a default route to 192.168.1.254 for eth0

I have no plans to use NetworkManager any time soon so I can only give
you general hints...I wish someone who does use NetworkManager would
take over this discussion.

Needless to say...I will try.

When you start the Network Manager client to examine/modify
configurations, you should find the configuration for eth0.

I'm only guessing, but is it something like Network connections?
Can you select the ethernet network connection and push the edit button?

When you do that, does a pop-up appear?
Does it have a IPv4 Settings tab?

Can you select the IPv4 Settings tab.

What is the Method: Automatic (DHCP)
 or Automatic (DHCP) addresses only
 or Manual
 or what?

I'm guessing the Method is Manual...but please tell me.

The following advice is based on the belief the Method is Manual.

Is there a Routes button?  Please press it.

Does another pop-up appear, something like Editing IPv4 routes for 
Can you add a route,
AddressNetmask   Gateway Metric
0.0.0.00.0.0.0   192.168.1.254   1

Can someone who does use NetworkManager correct the above please?
I'm sure I have things wrong since I don't use NetworkManager.
Hopefully, people can get the idea what I want tried.

Please let me know how far off I am regarding the NetworkManager GUI.

When you are done, please do either
ip route or netstat -rn
I wish to see if the default route has been added.
If you have a default route...try to ping something on the Internet.

I manage my interfaces myself...I do networking things for a living.
NetworkManager was not my friend, in the past, when it interfered with
what I needed to do...so I turned it off, and never turned it back on.
