During some CD operations Fedora freezes for some seconds
Hi, having a weird effect (in F16, [F17 too]): during some CD operations, ejecting for example, or clicking on the CD symbol by nautilus if a new CD is inserted in the drive, my system freezes, so my desktop is insensitive for some seconds. Somebody sees this too, and how to get rid from this effect? All answers are welcome.

Re: Need help USB modem
Quick question about the device What does it show up as when you plug it in and type lsusb? I don't know, I'll ask tomorrow Thanks Roger Hi Rick, Terry and Doug Re. the student's laptop my daughter asked about with the Sierra aircard modem I asked her to get the student to do a lsusb and the laptop reports: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

So, apparently it finds the modem. From my reading it seems that it needs manual configuration of wvdial.conf While I understand that Microsoft and Telstra seem to be in bed together it seems strange that there is no automatic/easy setup for such a commonplace modem. Pity there is no script available that any newbie could run and install with minimum of fuss. Have to find a way to advise the student, that's way out of my league.

From this I've deduced that installing Fedora 16 without updates first resulted in my having a bootable kernel and hence a workable Fedora 16. As for the reporting of bugs, when I can reliably reproduce an error with some useful feedback I will do so, but as I well know it is very difficult to fix bugs with limited information or ability to reliably reproduce them. Unfortunately I'm still finding Fedora 16 somewhat unstable, yum/yumex being particularly prone to becoming unstable. So no updating my laptop just yet. Anyway, more information to come regarding failures during startup, as these appear it bit more consistent, and easy to narrow down. Here's hoping people new to Linux don't come up against the problems I have, it may not put them off Linux, but just the Fedora distribution. cpp4ever -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Fedora 14 Gnome 2 to Fedora 16 KDE
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, all. I've been using Fedora 14 (i686) on an old IBM Think Pad T42 after swapping from Debian Squeeze & am really enjoying the experience. Fedora 14 having reached EOL, I'm looking to upgrade but at present I'm running Gnome 2 & 16 uses Gnome 3. Not only will Gnome 3 not run on my machine but from what I've seen of it, I don't really care to use it. So I'm looking at using KDE. The Fedora 16 Live CD (KDE) runs fine on the Think Pad & it seems a far better option than Gnome 3 in failback so my question is: 1). Is there anyway I can upgrade via Yum from Gnome on 14 -> Kde on 16 without unduly breaking anything? I've tried Googling for an answer but it's quite difficult phrasing it correctly to get a vaild response. I've got my /home/ folder backed up both locally & remotely so if I have to re-install will there be any conflicts on that score if I attempt to rsync from the back up (which I imagine there probably will)? Thanks for any help you can give & please be patient for a response as I'm on digest delivery. Cheers, Phil... - -- But masters, remember that I am an ass.

Even connecting directly to the ISP > modem made no difference. I doubt you can suggest something new. You can often see error messages by switching to an alternate tty: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Logging Whether you can switch (using Ctrl+Alt+F2, F3, F4, etc.) may depend on whether you're getting a really awful problem like a kernel panic -- which may indicate a hardware error particular to your setup -- or just a network timeout of some sort. Ctrl+Alt+F2 will give you tty2, a shell where you can look at the current logs in /tmp. Similarly Ctrl+Alt+F3 (tty3) and Ctrl+Alt+F4 (tty4) will give you higher level messages which might indicate the problem. The fact that you're having difficulty with a number of different methods makes me think it's more likely a hardware difficulty.

Well, this is a step forward, but let's not rush to conclude this is a general or widespread F16 stability problem. I've run both on my hardware here with zero problems, as have many other people I know. My whole family uses it daily on several computers and it's been solid as a rock since the public release. A lot of dedicated, wonderful folks put a ton of time into making sure that Fedora is as good as possible before that happens. Nevertheless, do think about reporting a complete bug if you can make the same problem happen repeatedly. Start here for beginner information, but if you're going to file a kernel bug, I *highly* recommend you press on to read the more detailed information linked at the end. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report -- Paul W.

Fedora 16 and Software Raid 10 on install
Hello Users, Could someone help me with a Software RAID 10 setup on Fedora 16 with disk druid, as trying to do it on a brand new install. If I chose 1 hard drive at install I can see how this is setup, but I am having difficulty knowing what to change to make it into a software raid, have googled this extensively and tried to understand various guides without any luck, dont follow what there saying as finding them a bit vague on some details. VolGroup 1144192 lv_root51200 / ext4 lv_home229472 /home ext4 lv_swap4992 swap sda sda1 1 BIOS Boot sda2 500/boot ext4 sda3 285686 VolGroupphysical volume (LVM) Ideally I would like to be able to take a drive out should it fail and replace it with another and for it all to be ok. I believe this would be possible with raid 10. Thanks in Advance. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

It failed the same way when no changes to the default packages were made. Numerous variations, including simplifying the hardware to just motherboard, graphics card, memory, HDD, and DVD RW made no difference! Even connecting directly to the ISP modem made no difference. I doubt you can suggest something new. Using the KDE spin CD, (verified by hash and does boot in vesa mode) Installation completes, but then fails to finish configuring the HDD causing the subsequent boot from grub to fail!. Finally I have failed to burn an install DVD either on the PC or a laptop, it also failing multiple times! Hence my attempts to update from Fedora 14 appear to have been thwarted and I'm somewhat annoyed!! After this much trouble I am becoming seriously disillusioned with Fedora!!! Breaking news!!! I have a flaky Fedora 16 running on my PC, here's roughly how: Installed from KDE spin CD Ran update from network install CD, (multiple times due to failures) still cannot boot the latest kernel though, and it appears to crash far more frequently than I'd expect. Bottom line is I'm still not going to try updating my laptop from Fedora 14 until I see Fedora 16/17 become a lot more stable! cpp4ever -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

The box has a wireless Logitech K520 USB keyboard. In the past this worked fine: I boot the box, select a kernel if required, the kernel boots, when asked I enter the passphrase with the wireless USB keyboard and F16 boots fine into GNOME and I can enter my login password fine with the wireless USB keyboard. Now not so good: I boot the box, I can use the wireless USB keyboard to select a kernel, the kernel boots, I get asked for the passphrase, my wireless USB keyboard no longer works, I attach a wired USB keyboard, enter the passphrase and then F16 boots fine. Once I get to the GNOME login screen I can use the wireless USB keyboard fine again. So during boot my wireless USB keyboard stops working. This happens with all currently installed kernels: 3.2.3, 3.2.5 and 3.2.6. The wireless USB keyboard used to work fine when asked for the passphrase. Anyone have a suggestion how I can fix this? Check the boot ramdisk to make sure the wireless keyboard driver is included. Not sure which "hid" driver it'd be, but I'd check.

Of course it's possible. ;-) The question I think you are asking is if there exists a mechanism to provide that easily, and I think the answer is no. However, it should be possible to take the image of a desktop iso that exists, mount it locally, copy it so it is rw, modify it to your needs (change applications, configuration), and then recreate a new iso from the modified copy. Burn to CD, and you then have your custom live CD.

Odds are it was something else in your setup. And don't forget, I tend to
administer via command prompts via ssh into the machine. That can make a
BIG difference. On the commandline "ntpq" is a nice friend.
I vaguely remember going through this hassle back with xntp when it was a
new thing. I got it tamed and that taming moves with me as I move onwards
in distros. I always use ntpdate to prime the pump, though. That might be
some of the magic. Some other parts of the magic is make sure ntpd or ntpdate
does not try to run before the outside network is up AND the firewall is
configured. I load the outside net "by hand" very late in the startup
sequence and have ifup-local fire off some startup commands for the likes
of fetchmail, ntp, and firewall configuration.

Please tell us the problems you are having with SELinux? Maybe we can
fix it for everyone if you have a common configuration. Open a
Bugzilla please.

It caused X freezes whenever new messages arrived. Then I switched to pidgin. On my current F16 installation I decided to give it a try - at least it has nice pop-up functionality.

During boot keyboard not working for passphrase
Hi all, On a box with F16 x86_64 I have two disks in RAID1 (Linux software raid) and an encrypted root and swap partition. The box has a wireless Logitech K520 USB keyboard. In the past this worked fine: I boot the box, select a kernel if required, the kernel boots, when asked I enter the passphrase with the wireless USB keyboard and F16 boots fine into GNOME and I can enter my login password fine with the wireless USB keyboard. Now not so good: I boot the box, I can use the wireless USB keyboard to select a kernel, the kernel boots, I get asked for the passphrase, my wireless USB keyboard no longer works, I attach a wired USB keyboard, enter the passphrase and then F16 boots fine. Once I get to the GNOME login screen I can use the wireless USB keyboard fine again. So during boot my wireless USB keyboard stops working. This happens with all currently installed kernels: 3.2.3, 3.2.5 and 3.2.6. The wireless USB keyboard used to work fine when asked for the passphrase. Anyone have a suggestion how I can fix this? Thanks!

Yes -ckvp should do what you want - but 1. modern drives do block recovery and sparing themselves so when a bad block is written it should go away again 2. if they can't it can indicate imminent total failure So I would do the fsck to clean up any files containing the bad blocks, then do a verify on the drive (probably easiest from the BIOS if it has the option) and/or runm a smart test on it (see smartctl If you want to try and fix them you may find http://www2.uic.edu/~aciani1/sector_blues.html useful. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Badblocks on the hd.
/sbin/badblocks has informed that there are 5 bad blocks on a hd. Not in a position to replace at the moment, Only dust in the wallet.

Password request after resuming from suspend/hibernation
Hi, If I resume from suspend on my desktop box I'm asked for the login password. But after resuming from hibernation, no password is requested.
