 Just completed installation to Fedora 10. Added in Echo Perspective is

As a concept I think it could work, the exact implementation however
lacks something. I am not sure which might it be, but perhaps the
gradients are too much of a combination of metallic and grey and it
clashes when used together. Could you try to achieve more realistic look
and having the outlines more subtle, only to emphasise the shape, but
not to clash visually with the fills? Feel free to adjust the gradients
as you see fit - the versions from me are supposed to be base set and
it's desirable to adjust them for the exact icons they are used in. 

I also think the thrash material could have some depth in the 256x256
version. The shadow should be IMHO nearly realistic in 256x256 version.
You could also try to slightly distort the ellipse to achieve
perspective imitation.

Don't know with what size you started, but I tend to start with the
256x256 one and gradually decrease amount of detail when doing the
smaller ones. It helps me better define the exact implementation of the
chosen metaphor (which, on the other hand, has to be chosen to look good
down to 16x16 size...).

[Echo Perspective] Trash Can concept #2

2008-11-28 Thread Martin Sourada
Hi,

I've added another trash can concept [1]. It's based on the current Echo
icon. I've made only the 256x256 size, I'll create the other sizes
later...

Comments welcome,
Martin

Well, in fact the top rim isn't circular but rounded triangular...
Combined with the perspective it then looks a little bit like wrongly
used perspective for circular rim ;-) I'll probably need to add some
more details into the gradient to better reflect it...

Subject: ugly greek letter m (U+03BC) in liberation sans regular
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:54:11 +0200

Package: ttf-liberation
Version: 1.04.92-1
Severity: normal

After updating to version 1.04.92-1 the character μ (U+03BC, GREEK
SMALL LETTER MU) appears ugly
when using Liberation Sans.

When using Liberation Sans Bold, Italic and all the variants of
Liberation Serif and Mono, μ appears OK.

You can see the problem in GNOME Character Map, when using Liberation
Sans as GNOME's default
application font and in Firefox.

I am attaching a small html to demonstrate the problem:

test case

I am attaching testcase as attachment, but I am not sure what the reporter
means -- the letter looks to me roughly same in any Liberation font I have
(liberation-fonts-1.04.90-1.fc10.noarch).

Switching to ASSIGNED so that developers have responsibility to do whatever
they want to do with it.

* Addressed review comments.

* Changed nsIStreamLoader* arg to nsISupports* as the font entry doesn't care
what type of loader it is.

* Lazy FT_Init_FreeType to avoid a Ts regression of 10-20 ms.
(It looks like there is a Tp gain of 0.5-1% probably due to keeping a
reference to the PangoCoverage on the PangoFont.)

There is still an occasional shutdown crash that needs to be addressed.  This
happens due to cairo caching its font structures that hold a reference to the
FT_Face.  During _cairo_font_face_reset_static_data these font
structures are destroyed, during which our callback calls FT_Done_Face, but
FT_Done_FreeType has already been called from ~gfxPlatformGtk.
(FT_Done_FreeType destroys any faces not already Done).

I assume the same problem exists with the gfxFT2Fonts backend.

Not here. My Gnome theme is already set to have white text entry fields.

 You can do this by opening firefox, then opening the theme switcher,

It sounds like you are talking about a Firefox theme switcher, but I
think you actually mean the Gnome theme switcher? I can't find one in
Firefox. In any case, no luck here.

 You are a brave woman...  umm... why don't we leave this for now and
 come back to it when Folder View works and possibly when KDE 4.2 ships ?

?? Folderview has been working for ages.  What's the problem?

 There is one thing... The F10 KDE Live CD has a wireless network manager
 widget in the panel.  Where do I find that for my F10 install ?  If you
 don't know offhand, I'll reboot the F10 KDE Live CD and find out for all
 of us.

If you are using NetworkManager you should have that applet.  However, it is 
problematic for wireless on my netbook - that is to say wireless doesn't work 
:-(

You have to turn the network service off and networkmanager service on to get 
the applet.

problem with suspend - F10

2008-11-28 Thread David Hláčik
Hello guys,

suspend worked just well on my Asus F3Sr laptop with F9.
Current status with F10 is, that it is working only once. On the
second time, laptop will freeze with black screen turned on. SO i have
just a 1 try to suspend, then i have to restart.
I have SELinux disabled.

I guess you would be able to put it back, if necessary.  But how
you'd reach your minimized apps I've no idea.
  
   The minimized applications would not be visible, but would be
   accessible using ALT+TAB. You can add a task manager widget to any
   panel you like. Now that auto-hide is back, perhaps you would like to
   create a retractable panel with the task manager widget in it.

 Wow, this is getting deep.  I love the pop up task manager, but ALT-TAB
 key combination is a bit tricky.

  Excellent.   More ways to provide for preferences :-)  Must add this to
  http://userbase.kde.org.

 Anne: how about asking the developers to put the task manager on the
 right click of the desktop area.  That would be super neat and much
 easier to find/remember than ALT-TAB.

You mean on a context menu?  I know some work is being done on context menus, 
but I'd have to read up on what's planned.

 I can't believe I am liking KDE 4.1.3.  Mind you, I am not using Folder
 Views at all.  But that is a topic for another time.

I have two quite small folderviews on my desktop.  They are set to give me 
instant access to my home partition on the server and the data partition.  
Although I could get to them perfectly easily by navigation in dolphine this 
way is much quicker. :-)

key mapping problem

2008-11-28 Thread Jouk Jansen
Hi all,

I upgraded my Acer-Aspire-1700 Laptop from F9-F10
After that I got problems with the key-mapping

I use xmodmap to redefine some keys. This worked perfectly in F9 but after
the upgrade some keys (i.e. left_arrow) is not working, when typed on the
laptop's own keyboard. On a attached USB-keyboard everything is fine.
Removing the xmodmap-table make at least the arrow keys work again.

If I check with the program xkeycaps which keycodes are generated I see
that on the laptops-keyboard the left_arrow generates code 71 instead of 64,
which explains why xmodmap fails because keycode 71 (right-ctrl) is redefined. 

A few other keys show the same strange behaviour

Can anybody explain this?

 Jouk

Re: Sound problems

2008-11-28 Thread Antonio M
2008/11/28 Antonio M [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 I am one of the unlucky guys who have been suffering for a long time
 sound breakage and problems only because I have a intel chip for
 sound.
 Now I have modprobe like this:

 alias eth0 ne2k-pci
 alias eth1 skge
 alias scsi_hostadapter libata
 alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix
 alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
 options snd-card-0 index=0
 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 ac97_clock=44100
 #options snd-intel8x0 index=0 ac97_clock=41194
 #options snd-intel8x0 index=0
 alias snd-card-1 snd-mpu401
 options snd-card-1 index=1
 options snd-mpu401 index=1

 After recent updates when I connect to a radio stream with Rhythmbox,
 sound is bad and very bass (missing trebles as it would run slower...)
 If I run with no ac97_clock option I get some breakages.
 Furthermore sometimes Rhythmbox is calling for a missing plugin
 (asking for some url/text plugin!!!???)

 any idea???

You could try relabelling the drive, that'll put the default SELinux
contexts on the files.  The defaults for the files in where they're
located, not every file getting the same default context.

[F10] Where is gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio?

2008-11-28 Thread Deepak Shrestha
Hi,

I am trying to play mp3 in amarok. According to the amarok wiki for
Fedora (http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MP3_on_Fedora_Core) I need to
install the following packages:

gstreamer-plugins-ugly and
gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio

gstreamer-plugins-ugly was installed when I used Totem to play mp3
files and it is playing well however amarok still can't playback mp3.
So I tried to install gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio package but yum
says no such package can be found. Is package name changed?

the exact error is as follows:
==
# yum install gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio available.
Nothing to do
==

By the way rpmfusion is in my repo list besides default fedora repos.

How can I make amarok play mp3 files?

Thanks!

Hi,

have you tried the driver from rpmfusion? for me it worked without a
hitch. Driver from nvidia used to work up to my FC8 machine but not
anymore in F10. So I tried rpmfusion and it just works (including GL)
without touching any config files. May be this will work for you too.

have a look at this

By the way I am using 96xx version of nvidia card.

  I done the fedora installation using the DvD disc,  without any mirror.
 
  The same DvD disc was used in other installation without any error.

 Try 'xdriver=vesa' as kernel parm (without ')

 I have never had a drive, and by now I've had 7 or 8 of them hit the
 bin, a computer compatible cd or dvd drive that recognized a disk in
 under 30 seconds.

I can't say that I've timed them, but I'd guess my experience is getting
close to that.  Most drives are slow to figure out that there's a disc
in, spin up, find out what type, and then the OS has to periodically
probe the drive to see if it's not empty (there's a hardware disc change
flag, but I'm told it's rarely made use of, where the drive tells the
system there's been a disc change).

The best drive I've got is an older, 6x spin speed, SCSI CD-ROM.  It's
faster to get going, is faster to restart after it's gone idle for a
moment, and very fast to seek across the drive.  Because of that, for
many things it's quicker to use than a faster spin speed drive.  Of
course it was a damn expensive drive, and none of my current systems
have a SCSI host.

Pursuant to my long time bitch about k3b not waiting for the drive to accept 
the disk, I ran thru my services and stopped anything that looked like a bus 
scanner, then tested it by inserting a good dvd to see what the system did.  
Nothing, not even a log entry.

So I then used k3b to burn the F10-i386-DVD.iso and told it to verify.  Of 
course it failed the verify, pulled the disk back in and reported no media 
about .2 seconds or less from the drawer closing.

I stopped k3b, and did this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fedora-10-i386-DVD]# dd if=/dev/sr0|sha1sum -c SHA1SUM
Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso: OK

So once again all the other excuses, having been removed from the scene, are 
proven to just excuses, k3b needs fixed.  And it should be using sha1sum too.

Somebody said konqueror had that built in, but I looked its menu's over 
without seeing that.  How does one enable this?

Partitions for my new install of FC10, but when I finish creating

selecting sda1 instead.

What am I doing wrong ??


Take a look at your /boot/grub/grub.conf
This is what tells grub how to boot and what kernel to use. You can edit 
this with any trest editor. Remember sda1 would be hd0,0, sda2 would be 
hd0,1, sdb1 would be hd1,0.


Secondly, the MBR (Master Boot Record) points to the stage2 boot or 
possibly e2fs_stage1_5, I don't recal, but it does not matter. If you 
get a boot menu, the MBR is probably correct, if you do not, then the 
problem is with the MBR. You can correct this by booting into the rescue 
system from the Fedora CD/DVD, and rerun Grub to rewrite your MBR.


Normally, the partitioner step in the installation will set this up 
correctly.

 you could try adding to the grub boot screen a trailing 3 to boot without
 a graphics interface...then login as root and type 'yum update'.
 That's if you can
 get this far... -- Gary

Actually I did end up trying something like that, so it is now fully updated...

Here's a few conditions I've discovered:

When I log in it seems I have 10-25 minutes before it locks.
If I don't log (leave at login screen) in it does not lock up, but it
locks up almost immediately when I do log in.
It's seems to only be a GUI lock. I can SSH into the machine, however
top doesn't show any process using 100% cpu.

Any and all ideas are appreceated. This is actually the wife's laptop
which I recently converted to linux. She was a happy F9 user but when
my preupgrade upgrade went so well on my laptop I decided to upgrade
her's as well. Needless to say she's less than thrilled right now.

OK, now you have opened a can of worms... I still don't get Folderview.
Like you just said, why not put a folder icon on the desktop and just

What does Folder View give us that Dolphin doesn't ?   As a matter of

frustrating for me.   Like you can't drag and drop files between two

Like I said in a previous post, FV isn't working on my machine.  Its

Problem Keeping System Time Accurate

2008-11-28 Thread Robert L Cochran
On my Dell D420 laptop, when running Fedora 10, I am having a problem
where the system time is off by about 5 hours from the actual time in my
timezone -- Eastern Standard Time (EST). The date is always correct.
Eventually, the time resets to the correct time for my zone. This shows
up when I run Microsoft Windows XP too. I have thought it might be the
coin cell battery on the laptop's motherboard going bad, but if that
were so the date would be wrong too.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Evolution and F10

2008-11-28 Thread Ed Gurski
I upgraded from F9 to F10 without problems. However, Evolution's
behavior has changed.

In F9, I could view all my unread messages in the Unread folder and when
finished reading them, I could either hit Cntrl-E or navigate to a
different folder. Once I navigated back to the Unread folder, all the
messages would be gone.

In F10, as soon as the message is read, it disappears into it's
respective folder and I loose the preview.

Is this a bug or a new feature?  I disabled allowing messages to be
marked read after N seconds, but that is not a long term solution...

Thanks

For dual boot, the problem's usually that you've got Linux set to run

My first suspicion would be that your BIOS clock is set to EST and your

you manually set.

Re: F10 mounting USB Harddrive via fstab

 Hi,
 
 i have some problems mounting my 500gb usb hard drive during boot.
 
 here is my fstab entry:
 
 LABEL=USB320HD  /mnt/backup_hd  ext3defaults,auto   1 1
 
 if i active this entry fedora 10 doesn't boot anymore.
 
 could it be, that the usbdrive gets detected after fstab tries to mount
 the disc?

Do you get an fsck error just before the failure message? If so, this is
a known problem, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471217

When the system fails to boot, I do the following:
1) Give the root password and get a Shell
2) mount -o remount / (to enable writing to the root filesystem)
3) Edit /etc/fstab and comment out the line corresponding to the
external drive.
4) Ctrl-D to reboot.
5) After a successful boot, but *before* logging in, get a console
(Ctrl-Aft-F2).
6) Log into the console as root.
7) Edit /etc/vstab to remove the comment.
8) Mount the external drive.
9) Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get back to the graphical login.
10) Log in to the system as myself.

This is a bit complicated because I have some stuff on the external
drive that needs to be there when I log in to my account. You might be
able to simplify it. Also, parts of it could probably be automated, I
just can't be bothered. And of course you could save some time by
remembering to comment out the offending line before shutting down your
system instead of going through the failed boot first.

It's a major PITA but it works.

What version of Fedora? The page says that gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio
is for older versions of Fedora (older than F10). I don't have it and

As long as the machine has a network connection, it doesn't care if its

The problem with doing a network install over wireless is whether the

 In F9, I could view all my unread messages in the Unread folder and when

 In F10, as soon as the message is read, it disappears into it's

 Is this a bug or a new feature?  I disabled allowing messages to be
 marked read after N seconds, but that is not a long term solution...

The version of Evo in F10 is 2.24, which has some changes to the
indexing machinery (it now uses an SQL database), and there are still
some kinks with virtual folders (e.g. the unread message count is often
wrong). Since Unread is a vfolder, this might be what you're seeing.

In any case, you'd probably get more feedback from the Evo list

It may be just funny BIOS labeling. Try creating a bootable USB

Hi Mikkel,

Thanks for the idea... but it doesn't appear to work.

On my Toshiba, I select boot from FDD  the system comes up in XP - from the 
HDD.
On my desktop, I can select either USB HDD or USB FDD, it worgles about a bit 
 comes up with Fedora 9 from the hard drive.

My USB stick is 2 GB,  I used the Livecd-to-USB program from the Fed10 page.  
According to Gparted, the stick is formatted Fat32  flagged as Boot.  And only has 
the 2 live cd folders on it.

Is it possible that the bios chokes on the size of the partition??

The USB HDD should be the correct setting. I do not think the BIOS
is having a problem with the partition size. I suspect that the
problem is that the boot loader did not get installed on the USB
drive. I have run into this a couple of times. There should be a
troubleshooting section that covers this. I don't remember the the
fix offhand, but I think it was an option to the Livecd-to-USB program.

I hope this helps.

DUMP over SSH : Lost Connection

2008-11-28 Thread Peter Bloomfield
Hi,

I am trying to dump a file system on one machine over the net to a second 
machine using 'dump' over ssh, and
I am aware of the potential limitations using dump as I am.

The first machine is Fedora 9, the second is SuSE 11

I issue the following commands:
setenv RSH /usr/bin/ssh
/sbin/dump -L Level 0 -0 -v -u -f [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:/BckUp/BackUpPC/Machine1_Full_0.dump /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

from which I get the following error

  DUMP: Connection to machine2 established.
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Nov 28 10:26:28 2008
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 (/) to 
/BckUp/BackUpPC/OpenGate_Full_0.dump on host [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  DUMP: Excluding inode 8 (journal inode) from dump
  DUMP: Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump
  DUMP: Label: Level 0
  DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 73855810 blocks.
  DUMP: Lost connection to remote host.

At the moment I think that the problem is that even though 'dump' indicates a 
connection is established, no valid connection is
made.
At this moment, I am not sure whether the problem is with machine 1 or machine 
2, i.e. the ssh_config on machine1 or
sshd_config on machine2. I have modified entries in these configuration files, 
but with no effect.

I can ssh/scp/sftp from machine1 to machine2 without any problems. 

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

 Could you share your xorg.conf file ?  I just want to be sure I am not
 missing some obscure option that allows the gl libraries to be loaded.

There's no obscure option that would prevent them from being loaded,
as they getting loaded by default.  I'm seeing the same exact problem
with RPMFusion's nvidia driver package in F10.  This is an RPMFusion
packaging bug.

vfat partition changes to read-only

2008-11-28 Thread khkachn
Hi,

  I am trying to mount a vfat partition as RW for users. I have it setup in 
fstab and when I first boot the system it works OK (I can delete files on the 
file system). 

I then run firefox (which has its profile info stored on the partition via a 
sym link) and the file system becomes read only. 

Is this a HAL issue? How do I stop this behavior?

Thanks,

Ken

Re: F9 Mono

2008-11-28 Thread Paul
Hi,

 I was thinking of
 /usr/bin/mono

executes mono apps

 /usr/bin/mono-api-diff
 /usr/bin/mono-api-info
 /usr/bin/mono-api-info2
 /usr/bin/mono-service
 /usr/bin/mono-service2

Both mono-service and mono-service2 are from xsp (run ASPX files)

 /usr/bin/mono-test-install

Tests the installs fine

 /usr/bin/monodir

Sets the mono runtime directory

 /usr/bin/monolinker

Links mono bits to underlying libraries (like a glue)

 Then there are also quite a few *.exe files aparently generated 
 by /usr/bin/mono. I was surprised to find all the .exe files in
 F9.

You'll get lots of them from the main mono packages, but a pile of
others from different apps. They should all live in /usr/lib
or /usr/lib64 though

TTFN

Better KDE pre release testing: F10 KDE4.2 Live ?

2008-11-28 Thread Linuxguy123
KDE 4.2 beta got released this week.

In the interest of getting KDE 4.2 more thoroughly tested before its
actually released, could the Fedora team make up F10 KDE 4.2 Live
debug CD ISOs for those of us that are willing to spend time testing
beta software ?

Speaking for myself, I will not chance wrecking my everyday system by
installing a beta KDE release and nor will I run anything but F10 right
now.   I would, however, spend quite a bit of time running an F10 KDE
4.2 Live release.

I ran the F10 KDE Live CD prior to upgrading to F10.  I was very
impressed with how well it ran from CD.  I would do a lot more
prerelease testing if I had Live versions to work with.  Right now am
doing no pre release testing. 

Just my $0.02

 Yes this drive has it's own power supply. Yes I plug in the
 external power supply before connecting the USB connector.
 Sometimes the drive mounts without a problem. When I try to copy
 more than a few MB of data it un-mounts itself and generates an error.
 What I'd like to do is have a entry /dev/sdb1 and have it not
 mounted so I can fsck. I think if I umount /media/backup it will
 also delete the /dev entry.
 
Unmounting /media/backup should not delete the /dev entries. Only
unplugging the drive should do that.

It sounds like there is a hardware problem of some kind if the drive
disconnects after transferring a few MB of data. What is hte error
message you get?

If you want an entry in /etc/fstab, then you will want to create a
udev rule for the drive, giving it a specific symlink, and using the
symlink in /etc/fstab. That way, if you have a USB memory stick or
something already using /dev/sdb, you can still mount the drive.
After we fix the other problems, I can help you with that.

Data persistence/ retaining setup/ booting with a Live USB release ?

2008-11-28 Thread Linuxguy123
My friend's laptop died.  She needs to reinstall XP but she has lost her
install disks and the XP install disks we have tried thus far don't work
for her machine. 

I like F10 so much I am thinking of recommending it for her machine.
I'd like to send her a USB flash drive with F10 on it that she could try
on her machine.

Here is the hitch: I'd like to set up some panels and add a few
applications to it before I send it to her.

I've never used a live USB flash drive version, only the live CDs.  How
is data persistence supported with the live USB version ?   If I add an
application, does it add it to the applications on the USB flash drive ?
What about desktop settings ?

I am not sure the BIOS on her computer supports booting from a USB
device.  Does the USB Live install have a clever way of dealing with
this ?

Thanks

If your friend is not particularly into computers and maintain them
then I suggest you try a different distro from Fedora, so that she won't
need to upgrade to a new version every year.  Something like CentOS or
Ubuntu would be better I would think.  If it were me I would use CentOS
- I use it on my servers and its configuration is similar to Fedora.
However lots of people who want there PC to just work like Ubuntu
(including my son and his girlfriend).

BTW, I have used Fedora, and RH before it on my primary workstation.
But I enjoy playing with it.

Hi, folks:

I used the preupgrade (after doing a yum update preupgrade to get the
1.0 version) to upgrade F9 to F10 on my ThinkPad T61 and all appears
to be running quite well. However, when I went to try out the new
NetBeans feature, I couldn't find it listed. Checking the Software
Sources options in the Package Manager for GNOME, I see that I'm still
pointing to the F9 repositories.  I know I could just hack the
/etc/yum.repos.d files, but is there a more correct way to switch to
the new repositories?


What does rpm -q fedora-release give? If two are listed get rid of the 
fedora 9 one, eg. rpm -e fedora-release-9-5.transition

Googleearth won't run on F10

2008-11-28 Thread Mike Faire
I downloaded Google Earth 4.3 and the install seemed to run without
hitch. When I try to run googleearth the xterm displays the following
error message;
./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared
libraries: ./libminizip.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc:
Permission denied

And then an icon pops up with SE Linux reporting that it has blocked
a program.

Is SE linux preventing google earth from running? How do I tell SE Linux
to get the heck out of the way?

TIA

Mike

 If your friend is not particularly into computers and maintain them

 need to upgrade to a new version every year.  Something like CentOS or
 Ubuntu would be better I would think.  If it were me I would use CentOS
 - I use it on my servers and its configuration is similar to Fedora.
 However lots of people who want there PC to just work like Ubuntu

 BTW, I have used Fedora, and RH before it on my primary workstation.
 But I enjoy playing with it.

Thanks for the tip.  I've been using RH/ Fedora for 6 years now, so I am
well aware of their character.   

One of the reasons I'll be recommending it is that I'll continue to use
it and I can remotely administer her system, so whatever I do for my
system I will also do for hers.  I don't want to have to be
knowledgeable in 2 different releases.

 That still works. I am not sure how to control this, since when I upgraded
 things kept working pretty much the way they had previously. I believe
 there is a quiet option for the kernel in your grub.conf config file
 that you don't want. I am not sure how plymouth plugins are selected,
 but uninstalling them may be one way to do this.

 If you want to see all the lines in the boot remove the rhgb option from
 the kernel lines in //etc/grub.conf

You can also just hit Esc to see the bootup messages. Hitting Esc
again takes you back to the splash screen.

How to resize disk in fedora?

2008-11-28 Thread barba Fisko
I installed some time ago Fedora 9, to try linux.

When i was installing i set 50 gb of my disk space for fedora 9.

Now i would like to reduce that size to some 20gb, because i don't need so
much space on linux, and i need much more space on my windows partition.

How to do that?

Still have fc9 packages after upgrade to Fedora 10

2008-11-28 Thread Doctor Who
After upgrading to Fedora 10 final from one of the earlier RCs using
preupgrade, I noticed after running 'rpm -qa | grep fc9 \ wc -l' that
i have 366 fc9 packages still installed.  I've run yumex,
'yum-complete-transaction', and 'package-cleanup --cleandupes' but
these packages are not updating.

I only have Fedora 10 repos enabled.

Any idea on why and how to get these packages updated?

Thanks.

SOLVED: F10 Post install encrypt partition issue

2008-11-28 Thread Jason Smith
On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 9:29 AM, Jason Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote:

 Hello,

 I installed F10 last night. Install went file. The machine was previously
 running F9 with encrypted /root and /home. For the install on F10 did an
 install, not upgrade, and formatted /root. Left /home alone.

 During the boot process I get prompted for the passphrase to unlock the
 encryption for /root. Once the system gets to the interactive boot process
 and does the check disks routine I do not get prompted to enter a passphrase
 to allow access to  the encrypted /home.

 I get the following error then it drops me to a maintenance prompt.

 I've verified through in maintenance mode that /etc/crypttab looks fine and
 the same with /etc/fstab. I can unlock my encrypted /home by running
 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/VGSys-LVHome
 luks-d8590a73-6fd0-46e5-8135-3ad739f58f6c and providing the passphrase. I
 then can mount /home. So I know things with that are good and the data is
 there. The problem is that during bootup it just doesn't prompt for the
 passphrase to unlock /home.

 From what I can tell /etc/rc.sysinit is responsible for mount partitions
 and in the case of encrypted volumes asking for the passphrase. I'm
 wondering if this is a bug.

 Any help is appreciated.


Here's what I had to do. I don't think I should of but I guess that just
means that I will be filing a bug report. The problem had nothing to do
concerning LUKS. It appears it had to do with how fcsk is run on bootup. Now
I assume it had something to do with the fact that I am running LVM and
LUKS, but I don't know. In the new /etc/crypttab that F10 created during the
install was the following lines:

luks-ce0e45d5-c705-4fde-8f7d-a17172c39aae
UUID=ce0e45d5-c705-4fde-8f7d-a17172c39aae none
luks-d8590a73-6fd0-46e5-8135-3ad739f58f6c
UUID=d8590a73-6fd0-46e5-8135-3ad739f58f6c none

What I didn't see initially because I couldn't read fast enough was that
fsck was complaining about not being able to find
UUID=ce0e45d5-c705-4fde-8f7d-a17172c39aae. Once I commented some lines out
of /etc/rc.sysinit and fooled around there. I was able to see that. So the
change I made to /etc/crypttab was to remove the UUID and replace it with
the direct position.

New /etc/crypttab
luks-ce0e45d5-c705-4fde-8f7d-a17172c39aae /dev/mapper/VGSys-LVRoot none
luks-d8590a73-6fd0-46e5-8135-3ad739f58f6c /dev/mapper/VGSys-LVHome none

After I made that change and put the original rc.sysinit in place the system
booted up without issue. I was able to modify /etc/crypttab by booting off
the install media and using the rescue mode. I did have to manually mount /.

Well, I don't use epiphany or iceweasel, but firefox and konqueror, they
handle proxies. You have options.

- Set System/Configuration/InternetNetwork/Network Proxy (on the fedora
gnome main menu button)

- $ http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128 epiphany

- $ http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128 iceweasel
(on this last two you must replace your IP/Port right values)

- Ask for a transparent proxy to your administrator

- google for epiphany/iceweasel under a proxy...
