--- Comment #6 from Bug Zapper fedora-triage-l...@redhat.com  2008-11-25 
21:45:55 EDT ---

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10
development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

--- Comment #7 from Parag pnem...@redhat.com  2009-06-02 01:17:02 EDT ---
As Sindhi language translations are not in Fedora yet and this is fixed in
rawhide(F11), I think we can close this as RAWHIDE instead to wait for
backporting current fontconfig release to F10.

--- Comment #1 from Rahul Bhalerao rbhal...@redhat.com  2009-06-02 01:27:57 
EDT ---
IMO, this is not wrong semantically, since a syllable can be composed of any
number of Consonant+(Halant+Consonant)n sequences. Although this can be a case
of not usable syllables or the syllables that are not used in the given
language, it may not qualify as a critical issue to be tweaked in the layout
engine.

@Amit, can you please mention if this is a bug for Assamese language as well or
just an unused syllable?

Things in Infrastructure are currently pretty quite since we're in a
change freeze right now.  We have a ticket tracker at
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/1 if there's
anything there that you'd be interested in working on.  

We're also usually on #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net, so feel free to
join and say hi.  We also have IRC meetings on Thursdays at 20:00 UTC,
which is a good way to find ways to start helping out.

Thanks, and welcome!
Ricky

  I have update now, but I am much satisfied.
  I have removed some dependency packages, PyQT4 etc.
  Then yum update without some problem.

 I'm getting these errors, and other too.

Try

I've yum upgraded 4 F10 boxes to F11 with yum so far.

   But while installation it was not detecting USB hard disk.
   Can anybody help me regarding this issue.

Recently i installed a fedora 10 live usb to a 80GB external drive by using the 
cli livecd-iso-to-disk application. So you should be able to do the same i.e 
first install a liveusb which is a subset of all fedora packages and after 
installtion use the dvd as a localrepo to add things.

All kidding aside, there's a web site from which you can download a
little DOS utility to invoke security erase on a drive.  The README
claims that security erase is better than smashing the drive to bits,
though (I suspect) not better then pulling out the platters and
blowtorching them till the oxide falls off.

 Use su -c 'gpk-install-local-file x.rpm' or sudo gpk-install-local-file
 x.rpm, where x.rpm is the rpm you are trying to install.

 Or, you could try adding your user into the root group.

Wrong, sorry. The reason that it's not going to run as root is because
unless you've setup PolicyKit to do otherwise, it's not going to work
correctly, so gnome-packagekit detects uid 0 and warns you.

Running a PackageKit GUI as root is not a good plan at all. With
GTK_MODULES a malicious user could silently install software. It's
totally insecure.

You are using a device URI for a queue which requires authentication,

  smb://workgroup/server/share

After the first print job has been delivered, future jobs will require
authentication at print submission time and GTK+ does not currently
support this.

The work-around is to specify the authentication details in the device
URI, as has always been necessary in previous Fedora releases.  In

It looks good to me, including the newer wording in

Guys, I doubt that he was trying to troll, in this case.  It seemed to me
that he was simply pointing out something he thought was humorous.

What I suspect is that Chris is not subscribed to the

the date was slipping by a week or more, due to the fixes, etc.

So, maybe we should cut him a little slack?

Is there a Skype HOWTO or FAQ for Fedora-10?

I would like to transfer my Skype contacts to someone else,
but don't see any way to do this under Linux.

Incidentally, is there any alternative to Skype

As far as I can see, the latest version of Skype for Fedora
is called skype...fc5,
even though it is in the directory called Fedora 6-7
on the Skype web-site (www.skype.com).

A better way is to add files to /etc/profile.d - you can use the

are using a c type shell, (csh, tcsh, etc) and the ones ending in
.sh are for sh type shells. (sh, bash, zsh, etc)

Ekiga is an open-source voice chat solution.  However, it does not use
the Skype network.

There is also Empathy, which supports voice chat and can do basic IM
functions, like Pidgin.

I have not used either of these, so consumer beware.  I would give
Empathy a shot first; Fedora and Ubuntu have considered replacing
Pidgin with Empathy before (try googling ubuntu pidgin usability),
whereas Ekiga seems to be more voice-only.

I should have told you that I'm trying install on a X86_64 box.

I did install the 2.13.24.0.lm86(2).arm and it is in /lib/firmware, 
it would not install in

/lib64/firmware.

I think I need to install the ndiswrapper for i386, I have 
ndiswrapper.X86_64 installed.


The ndiswrapper.i386 doesn't show up in FC10 X86_64 fedora repo how 
do I change the repo's to read the i386 files ?




I think you missed a crucial step. Although right now I am using a 
D-Link USB wifi receiver, I did try a Linksys for a few days after I 
had set it up for the D-Link, and it worked right out of the box. So 
the procedure should be the same. Here is how I did it for the D-Link.


1. I put the firmware in /lib/firmware/
2. Renamed it to 'isl3890usb'
2. in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ ran make menuconfig as root, 
enabled the relevant kernel module. then did a modprobe driver. 
Here driver is p54.


I believe you missed the renaming the firmware part.

HTH

PS: I am on x86_64 too
$uname -r
2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64


I did as you suggested, but I'm still having problems.
Do you know what this means?

At least, that's how I've been doing them.

Ok, that is installing via yum, whats next?  Reboot?

I has tried to build fmit on the F8 it has, but the configure script bails out 
when it couldn't find libasound, and that seems to be made out of unobtainium 
for F8.

Can fmit be brought into F11?  Its a handy instrument tuner tool for 
musicians.

A correction there, on scrolling down I see your device is listed, but
has a different name for the firmware. So the revised steps should be,

download the firmware for 'miniPCI / PCMCIA' and rename it to 'isl3886'

and *not* isl3890usb. Sorry for the mix-up mate.

I should have told you that I'm trying install on a X86_64 box.

I did install the 2.13.24.0.lm86(2).arm and it is in /lib/firmware, 
it would not install in

/lib64/firmware.

I think I need to install the ndiswrapper for i386, I have 
ndiswrapper.X86_64 installed.


The ndiswrapper.i386 doesn't show up in FC10 X86_64 fedora repo how 
do I change the repo's to read the i386 files ?




I think you missed a crucial step. Although right now I am using a 
D-Link USB wifi receiver, I did try a Linksys for a few days after I 
had set it up for the D-Link, and it worked right out of the box. So 
the procedure should be the same. Here is how I did it for the D-Link.


1. I put the firmware in /lib/firmware/
2. Renamed it to 'isl3890usb'
2. in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ ran make menuconfig as root, 
enabled the relevant kernel module. then did a modprobe driver. 
Here driver is p54.


I believe you missed the renaming the firmware part.

HTH

PS: I am on x86_64 too
$uname -r

I did as you suggested, but I'm still having problems.

 Use preupgrade. Works like a charm.

 How to use PreUpgrade

 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade

 This will take a while. A long while.

Assuming you have to check the Display unstable test releases
and then choose Rawhide,
why not say this?

And it should pointed out that if this is not checked, you have a blank list, 
it is NOT possible to select from an uptodate F8 to F10.  That sucks.

Whats the deal in forcing everybody into rawhide when there is a show topper 
bug extant and holding up the F11 release?

That smacks of a rather massive insult to those of us who just want to use the 
machine.  It better work or there will be YAKubuntuI before the day is out.  
All I wanted to do was add fmit to its (F8 on a HP dv5120us) repertoire.  But 
F8 doesn't have libasound which the fmit build needs.  This F10 built it ok, 
and fmit itself hasn't been touched since F6 days, so why can't an F8 install 
build it?

It may be obvious to you,
but would not be to many Fedora users.

Yeah, obviously getting rawhide shoved down our throats. :(

 No it is a much harder attack than snooping. To do man in the middle you need
 to be able to take packets out of the stream and redirect them. This needs to
 be done in real time and if you guess wrong about whether the other end knows
 what the certificate is, people are going to notice you doing it.

ISTR if you can snoop you can hijack the TCP session setup by responding
first (aren't out-of-window packets ignored?).  You don't have to cause
the real responses to be dropped, you just have to respond faster.

 And be sure to note that certificate signed by RSA, Thawte or whoever doesn't
 equate to secure either. Unless you have verified the end certificate
 yourself you don't know that the organization on the other end is who you
 really mean to be talking to.

You are trusting that the CAs have done the verification, which they do
(to differing degrees).

If I scrap my unsupported hardware will you buy me new? And clients, they will

would have to buy hardware themselves they would scrap Linux, and be cost justified.


You are mixing religious zeal with affordability, or something. It's something

Re: Graphics card recommendation?

2009-06-01 Thread Joonas Sarajärvi

2009/6/1 Timothy Murphy gayle...@eircom.net:

 I'm looking for a graphics card satisfying the following criteria:

 1. Cheap
There are cheap models in both Nvidia's and AMD/Ati's product ranges.

 2. TL capability
I'm not sure, but probably almost all graphics cards currently
available will have this, and be able to run Sims 2. I'd ask the shop
salesperson if you can test the card.

 3. Works under Fedora-10, if possible as is.
I'd go with a AMD/Ati card due to AMD's effort to bring quality open
source drivers to the community. Currently new RadeonHD cards will
work quite nicely, but especially on Fedora 10 there is little
hardware acceleration offered. At least for my Radeon HD3650, Fedora
11 provides some 2D hardware acceleration, and 3D OpenGL acceleration
is also in the works.

With Nvidia cards, you will be able to get pixels to the screen and
probably get the correct resolution for your screen, but AFAIK,
especially open source 3D acceleration is much less complete for
Nvidia cards than for Amd/Ati or Intel devices, due to Nvidia refusing
to release any specifications that would help the community to build
open source drivers for themselves.

For both Nvidia and AMD/Ati, there is also an official closed source
driver available. Nvidia's one is often considered to be better of
these. If 3D performance on Fedora is important to you right now,
Nvidia may be the best choice.

Your choice depends a lot on what you want from your card on Fedora.

Hi

I just want to ask one big question :)

If I would have an IPv6 address [home pc, behind a router -
supporting ipv6 e.g.: openwrt, ISP gives ipv6], then I can see an
IPv6 address with ifconfig, on the PC e.g.: Z
So that's my very unique address. - Z

Can that be seen on the internet, the Z address? so anyone can
ping me from outside, or do an nmap?


Yes, if the IPv6 address has a global prefix (2001:: 2002:: etc) -
fe80:: etc are link local addresses and are site specific - they
won't be available to the wider Internet.

I have a related question. If I set up a tunnel to forward IPv6 thru IPv4, the 
existing setups seem to use part of my IPv4 address as part of the IPv6 address. 
Fair enough, but is there some way to get a permanent IPv6 allocation, such that 
if my primary ISP goes out for any reason, I can use my secondary instead? I'd 
like to set up some servers on VMs in my DMZ[1] for testing.



Or are there private addresses what the router gives to my pc.: eg.:
with ipv4 a router could give 192.168.1.10... and that IP couldn't be
pinged/nmapped from outside (More Secure???)
Because I heard that there will be no NAT with IPv6?


There's no NAT in IPv6, at least in the traditional IPv4 way.

 If you're only getting fe80:: et. al addresses (the link-local
 addresses as above) you should be fine however.


What will happen to e.g.: a windows xp pc using IPv6? The C$, D$
shares will be visible to anyone if they know the password?
sorry for the trivial question... :S :) and thank you for any answer


If the host isn't firewalled and has globally routed IPv6 allocations
then yes they would be available (they'd need to know Administrator
passwords for the admin shares above though)

In which case you are probably ok with the typical onboard video (for

and it would be as odd to call it Texture and Lighting
as it would be to call PCI whatever PCI stands for.

Which reminds me - apparently there is a second hurdle
I have to get over, which is to distinguish between PCI and PCI-E.
I think the Asus K8V-MX motherboard I am concerned with
provides PCI slots, not PCI-E.


Try dmidecode | grep -i pci and see.  PCI Express = PCI-E.  My
M3N78-VM has both:

[r...@hamster ~]# dmidecode | grep -i pci
PCI is supported
Designation: PCIEX1
Type: 32-bit PCI Express
Designation: PCIEX16
Type: 32-bit PCI Express
Designation: PCI1
Type: 32-bit PCI
Designation: PCI2
Type: 32-bit PCI


Also there is something about AGP, but I'm not sure
how significant that is, or if it is universal nowadays.


A lot of video cards plug into AGP slots.  dmidecode can tell you.


Graphics cards are much more complicated than I thought.


Heheheheh!  Amen, bruddah!

If you have been using Rawhide, from the Fedora 11 RC or 'by hand' what
you have will be Fedora 11, technically already is, when Fedora 11 is
released.

It takes a configuration change, done on purpose by the user, to stay
with Rawhide.

 Err... when Fedora 11 is released it will be offered as an option. There
 is no Fedora 11 release. Yet.
 
 And Joe Average User should not be using Rawhide if he can not figure
 out what you just described as not obvious.

I suggest that if you are giving advice
you should say as clearly and as fully as possible
what the user needs to do,
regardless of your opinion of their intelligence.

A correction there, on scrolling down I see your device is listed, but
has a different name for the firmware. So the revised steps should be,

download the firmware for 'miniPCI / PCMCIA' and rename it to 'isl3886'

and *not* isl3890usb. Sorry for the mix-up mate.

But the device I have is a  WUSB54G is a USB device.
The Firmware I downloaded is for the kernel I have and the firmware is 
the isl3886usb

but another person told me to rename it to /lib/firmware/isl3890usb
Am I missing something here ?

Something that puzzles me is, I have X86_64 box here, shouldn't  this 
firmware be located in /lib64/firmware ?



Firmware has nothing to do with the OS or mode of the CPU, it runs in the 
device. /lib/firmware does it.

Re: Blocking an IP for one user

Hi,

My son is getting to that funny age whereby I need to keep certain
sites away from him.

Is there any way that I can block an IP address or certain keywords from
his user settings so that it doesn't matter which browser he uses, he
can't access them?

For example, I want to block the BBC websites wholesale or anything with
the words Microsoft, MSN or Hotmail in the URL - you get the idea - but
also an IP range such as 172.168.*.*

You can add one line to iptables to log every outgoing TCP connect at the sync 
level, and then just browse the list in the log. Knowing you are doing this will 
help him learn about anonymous redirection networks, proxies, etc. It is 
unlikely that you will keep him in check unless you simply block everything 
except pure content.


If you block the BBC don't let him read the papers either, they report on sex 
and senseless violence.

Are you using LXDE?

2009-06-01 Thread Rahul Sundaram

Hi,

Some of us in Fedora are discussing about what would be the right
approach for providing a good experience to those using LXDE.

How many people here are using LXDE? What do you find good about it?
Would you find a Fedora LXDE Live CD useful? Would it still be useful if
it was a combined Xfce + LXDE Live CD?

We appear to be speaking at cross purposes. I don't understand what you
mean by Backup my contacts list and restore the file. Didn't you try
simply logging into Skype on the second machine, without copying
anything? To repeat, that's all I've ever had to do and all my contacts
just follow me around. I've done this on Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Perhaps they are talking about transferring contacts between Skype

I've just started using it on my EEEPC 701 because many of the gnome

it's a little more snappy.

I don't think that would be possible by just copying over a file 
locally. The contacts have to be present on their servers associated 
with the new account. Having it locally wouldn't be enough. Isn't that 
correct?

 Use preupgrade. Works like a charm.

 How to use PreUpgrade

 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade

 This will take a while. A long while.

 Assuming you have to check the Display unstable test releases
 and then choose Rawhide,
 why not say this?

 And it should pointed out that if this is not checked, you have a blank
 list, it is NOT possible to select from an uptodate F8 to F10.  That
 sucks.

 Whats the deal in forcing everybody into rawhide when there is a show
 topper bug extant and holding up the F11 release?

 That smacks of a rather massive insult to those of us who just want to
 use the machine.  It better work or there will be YAKubuntuI before the
 day is out. All I wanted to do was add fmit to its (F8 on a HP dv5120us)
 repertoire.  But F8 doesn't have libasound which the fmit build needs.
 This F10 built it ok, and fmit itself hasn't been touched since F6 days,
 so why can't an F8 install build it?

 It may be obvious to you,
 but would not be to many Fedora users.

 Yeah, obviously getting rawhide shoved down our throats. :(

 For Fedora 8 to Fedora 10 I can not say. Just this weekend I did a
 preupgrade test of Fedora 9 to Fedora 10 that worked with no problems.

 I then did a preupgrade test of that same Fedora 10 to what will be,
 eventually, Fedora 11 which is still Rawhide. Again with no problems.
 Just time consuming. No one 'forced' me to do an upgrade to Rawhide.

  David

 That was my point, David.  F9 or F10 is not being presented as an option
 in preupgrade, the only thing you can do is check the box for bleeding
 edge and chose rawhide.  That has a very high vacuum rating IMO.

Where did you 'get' the preupgrade.

F8 repo via yumex.

The Fedora 9 that I started with Saturday came with preupgrade. I clean
installed Fedora 9 and did updates to current. When I ran preupgrade, in
Fedora 9, I was offered Fedora 10 or, by checking the box, Rawhide (to
be Fedora 11). Since the Fedora 10 was up-to-date it's preupgrade
offered 'nothing' except the check box that get 'Rawhide'.

There was a bug for some, IIRC, with preupgrade in Fedora 9 to Fedora
10. Some but not all.

Fedora would never 'force' you to use Rawhide. Although it kicks the
poo, IMO, out of Fedora 10. Many changes and improvements. I run Rawhide
all of the time anyway.

There are really cheap scanners or multifunction printers now, and chances
