 I've built the sub packages and have put them up here with the spec.

 Can someone please review these?

You should:
- post your changes as patches, to make it easier to see what's changed
- have -libs for the common library bits stuff
- keep the GTK+ front-end in the main package (which would avoid upgrade
problems with transmission disappearing from people's menus on upgrade,
and having to change comps)
- split out the command-line bits into a sub-package

 You should be building from the vala source.
 
  For rygel to date I've used the C as source unless I've needed to
  patch a bug or build issue with it when you then need to regenerate
  it.
  
 Sounds like rygel should as well.

That won't work. The upstream uses Vala git, which didn't allow
recompiling rygel from the version of Vala in Fedora.

 When in doubt, build from the source that upstream is going to be modifying,
 fixing bugs in directly, etc.

When in doubt, use the sources that upstream is providing as the sources
to build from, in this case the C files rather than the Vala ones (even
if both are actually in the tarball).

 Okay, different crash then. If I do that, it also ends up with the glib2

And you'll need to disable GSlice memory allocation as well, with

I'm not sure even trying to use ElectricFence is such a good idea

Thanks for the explanation.

At least 3 applications are not restoring the volumes:

xmms, mplayer and audacious.
   
   Interesting. Maybe these programs try to be too clever and force the
   volume themselves.
  
  It's not an attempt at being too clever, but several upstream
  developers feel lost in what they have to do or what they have not to
  do to get something right. Temporarily, Audacious devlopers have
  dropped their pulse_audio driver (originally from XMMS) even, since
  they were of the impression that it didn't work anyway. Ubuntu
  users currently feel punished with Pulse Audio. With a first bunch of
  fixes [for volume issues in Fedora 12 Rawhide, volume decreased for
  every new song], the driver was restored again for Audacious 2.2
  development. With more recent changes in Pulse Audio, it seems, more
  changes are necessary. But Audacious 2.1 cannot reflect external
  volume level changes in its UI anyway. Its volume slider cannot move
  for volume level changes made with external tools. Only the next
  release can do that, and it suffers from new bugs (such as a bug in
  alsa-lib that will require an update in Fedora, too).
 
 Thanks for the explanation. Before I saw your reply, I played with
 audacious-plugins and made a kludge to prevent it from forcing 100 %
 volume on startup. It probably breaks something else, I haven't really
 tested it too much.
 
 Notice that the documentation for pa_stream_connect_playback strongly
 recommends passing NULL as volume.

This looks correct, you're never supposed to restore volume yourself
when using PulseAudio.

 I think there's some bugs with booting EFI devices in the various live

 last day or two) has an updated liveusb-creator which fixes alot of
 the EFI issues, and a new livecd-tools I think is due soon.

If you don't even see the USB hard disk when booting up, then it
probably isn't formatted with GPT. Use --format on /dev/sdb.

If it shows up but ends up booting another OS, then your
EFI/boot/boot*.conf isn't updated, and you might have hit:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533824

Let me know if the patch works.

And as Peter's mentioned, if your device supports x86_64, you need an
x86_64 image, and the same for 32-bit.

Note that I'm not sure how those are generated, but you should be able
to boot a 32-bit distro as long as you have a bootx64.conf and
bootx64.efi in /EFI/boot on the USB key.

 That's a very common error message and, AFAICT anyway, doesn't really
 indicate that anything is particularly broken. At least I see it all the
 time on systems that otherwise appear to work fine. So if you're having
 problems I _doubt_ they trace to that message. Check with a qualified X
 hacker though =)

I guess, for myself, and a number of other bug reporters, that's the
sort of error you would _see_ when an error message from the console
gets printed using KMS.

Only problem is that it's not the error message we actually wanted to
see. In my case, it was the initrd being unable to find its new root
device. Which I later fixed in:

 it reports an event. When I perform fgets to get the events, I get
 nothing. I am wondering if it would be possible to add a fflush on
 stdout when events are reported on stdout inside rfkill.

You're probably better off monitoring /dev/rfkill yourself directly (for
now[1]), there's example code in gnome-bluetooth, look at
lib/bluetooth-killswitch.c.

You'd basically just need to change the type of killswitch you're
monitoring.

Heya,

Seeing as libmusicbrainz will have a limited shelf life (the upstream

and that no GNOME apps use it any more, I'm letting it go.

I'd expect Rex to pick it up, as KDE still uses it.

 The session bus is, by definition, local to a particular session. When
 you run a service in cron, it is running in a new session (because it
 has been launched by the cron daemon) and cannot share the session bus
 with your desktop. If you need it to share a bus BETWEEN sessions,
 that's what the system bus is for.

Or have a cron instance (or similar) running within the session. I'm
pretty sure there's already GUI-like crons available for GNOME and other
desktops.

Something like that:

 Hello everyone,
 
 (If you don't own a multimedia package you can skip this thread)
 
 This is a call for help for adjusting the .desktop files of your
 multimedia applications according to the new FedoraStudio feature [1].
 For those who missed the news, with F-12 we will have an optional
 multimedia-menus package that will subcategorize the SoundVideo menu
 in Gnome (Multimedia menu in KDE). This package is currently geared
 towards multimedia creation folks, however this target audience may be
 expanded in the future to meet the demand.
 
 To place the applications in the proper category, the .desktop files
 need to have proper categories listed. Since I am a (co)maintainer of
 most audio creation packages in Fedora, I have finished most of the
 required work. However there are a few packages left that need to be
 addressed.
 
 So please follow the link [2] and check if your multimedia package
 meets the criteria for any of the submenus we will have. If you have
 any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do a final check
 around September 8th, about two weeks before the beta freeze and fix
 the remaining .desktop files. Also let me know if you don't want your
 package to be touched.

I didn't change this for gnome-volume-control seeing as it shows up in
the (hardware) preferences rather than in the main menu.

Cheers

 PS: Adjusting your .desktop file with this specification will not
 change the experience of anyone who doesn't have the multimedia-menus
 package installed. Your application will be still in the
 SoundVideo/Multimedia desktop menu as long as you have AudioVideo
 listed as a category in your .desktop file.

 So what do people want out of a Fedora Mini SIG?

Is Fedora Mini really Fedora Netbook? If so, then I'd concentrate on:
- Moblin as a spin
- Hardware support is pushed into the distribution

The problem space is really the same as the desktop one (and both are
built on the same technology), but with a UI better suited to the
device.

For netbooks that aren't able to run this code because of graphics
drivers deficiencies, there's always the desktop SIG and spin.

Making sure existing applications can run on smaller resolutions, or
less powerful hardware is a task for the whole distribution, not just
the Fedora Mini SIG.

If the goal is to cater for OLPC's running GNOME, then the efforts are
better done through the desktop SIG. If one of the goals is to help
Sugar, it would better be handled through a Sugar specific list and SIG.

Personally, I'd be interested in a fedora-moblin list, but not so much
in a general purpose Fedora Mini list (which would probably overlap with
other SIGs, say a SIG wanting to create a MythTV spin a-la Mythdora).

  I think this is the flat volumes feature.
  
  It can be disabled by setting:
  flat-volumes = no
  in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf or ~/.pulse/daemon.conf .
 
 It may be related, but it's not the way that's _supposed_ to work, AIUI.
 When working correctly, with flat volumes, the two volumes should be the
 same, I believe - if you set totem to 70%, the 'main' volume slider in
 g-v-c or pavucontrol should also be at 70%. so it sounds like it may be
 some bug within the flat volume implementation.

Or one of the numerous bugs in the application's volume control patch.
Hopefully something to work on tomorrow if Lennart doesn't send me a
huge batch of things to do in the F-12 volume control :)

 Is it a bodhi failure or a human one (both are from the same submitter)

The bodhi web interface there screws up field data when the form fails.
The data ends up with the escapes in the update field.

(Foo bar in the update field will show Foo%20Bar when it reloads the

 I found that pulseaudio -k  pulseaudio fixed it for me after chown
 on /dev/snd/* which had root.audio ownership. I see this error when
 starting pulseaudio though:
 
 [kmar...@nc6400 ~]$ pulseaudio
 E: bluetooth-util.c: Error from ListAdapters
 reply:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

That means that bluetoothd isn't running, which should be fine. There
are some known problems with PulseAudio's Bluetooth plugin handling of
presense/absence of bluetoothd.

This was discussed in another thread on this ML.

  I think this is actually a problem that needs solving. We have
  several network services that are either installed by default or
  might be expected to be part of a standard setup, but which don't
  work because of the default firewall rules. The Anaconda people have
  (sensibly, IMHO) refused to simply add further exceptions to the
  firewall policy.
 
 there is an interesting issue;
 if you poke a hole in your firewall for all the ports that are listening
 automatically. you might as well not have a firewall in the first
 place...

This is a chicken-and-egg problem.

FWIW, I'd want my created normal user to be added to wheel
automatically, and the useless firewall removed from the default desktop
install.

Heads up: bluetoothd on-demand startup

2009-06-12 Thread Bastien Nocera
Heya,

I've added a patch to bluetoothd in F-12 to support being started via
udev, on-demand. bluetoothd will now only start up when you have a
Bluetooth adapter plugged, and will exit 30 seconds after the last one
went away.

The only purpose of the bluetooth initscript is now to switch HID proxy
adapters into Bluetooth mode (on Macs, and some Logitech and Dell
keyboard/mouse combos). That'll probably go away as well, and into udev.

File bugs against bluez if you encounter any problems with bluetoothd
being in the wrong state (ie. started with no Bluetooth hardware, and
not running when you have Bluetooth hardware).

Cheers

  I've been hoping to find some time to do a big review of system startup
  for F-12, but haven't as yet found the time...
 
  How does this actually work? At what stage of boot does udev attempt to
  start bluetoothd?
 
  One of my ideas(I guess?) for F-12 is to filter modules loaded at boot
  by udev, and defer things that aren't needed for startup until either
  idle, or they are needed. (Why do we need sound modules loaded before we
  mount root rw? :) I've got a couple hacks from LPC last year I need to
  polish and submit for cups to make it somewhat more sensible...
 
  Pardon my curiosity, this is a big step towards better boot up. Thanks
  for doing this!
 
  cheers, Kyle

Nope, that was the code that was in F-12 up until now, which I removed,
and replace with a better way. There's no initscripts needed anymore.

 We should support this I think.  I've added a bug here:
 
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22258

We don't use D-Bus for that in-flight message.

The message is in-flight between the kernel and bluetoothd via netlink.

   1. running bluetoothd   2. adapter insertion

- last bt adapter gets removed
- timeout kicks in
   30 sec...
- we start processing shutdown
   - udev gets event from the kernel
   - udev rule is processed
   - bluetoothd is run with --udev
   - bluetoothd exits because the
 service is already running
- relinquish the D-Bus service
- bluetoothd exits

Something like that.

  Sure, it shouldn't. If you're using userspace for thermal or latency

 its not a setuid applet .. something seems to allow non root to do
 this (hal? consolekit? pam? udev? .. dunno)

It currently uses consolehelper to get root. IMO, it shouldn't allow
setting frequencies at all.
