The SEMARK stuff is supposed to allow you to have more complicated (maybe stateful) rules for labelling packets. Besides that there is also a way to have labels in the packets themselves so that you can use labelling accross a network.

Usually I will wander over to kde as a backup, but it is also failing to start. The workaround for me is: It is easier to use runlevel 3 and startx, because when it dies it is much easier to restart. Much of the looping seems to be canberra. You can kill it. Use compiz since it allows the lower ribbon bar to work. Don't touch anything that changes settings (so can't use volume control, etc) - GConf changed a day or so ealier so I haven't backed it out.

Release Notes for Fedora 12
The Release Notes Beat page at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Beats has been updated to reflect Fedora 12. IF YOU WERE A FEDORA 11 BEAT WRITER Review the page, if you intend to write the same beat for Fedora 12 that you wrote for Fedora 11, remove the asterisk from your name. If you would like to contribute to an additional beat, add your name to that beat. IF YOU ARE A DEVELOPER Check the Developer PoC column for your name. If you are on the list, and will still be the point of contact for Fedora 12, remove the asterisk from your name. If you are not on the list, and would like to ensure that the area you are working in gets proper attention in the release notes, add your name. Multiple names are fine. Perhaps you felt that your particular area didn't get the attention it deserved in Fedora 11. Consider writing the beat yourself. Add your name to the Writer column. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE RELEASE NOTES Look through the beats for an area that interests you, and add your name to the Writer column. If there is already someone there, that is fine. Two (or more) heads are better than one. IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN Feel free to contact me by email, via the fedora-docs-list, or on the #Fedora-Docs IRC channel. You don't need to be some sort of expert to contribute to the release notes. All it takes is an interest, and the ability to string a few words together into a coherent sentence. Even if you don't feel like you are a writer, that is fine; there will be plenty of editing and review opportunities.

fedora 11 worst then ever release

Re: fedora 11 worst then ever release
I wouldn't say Fedora 11 is that bad, but it has certainly has been problematic for me as well. I have to agree with Alan Cox that all of your issues were caused by preupgrade. The best thing to do is to create a separate partition for your home folder, then replace the operating system for new releases, and redirect Fedora to where your home folder is in fstab. However, I unfortunately have to say that since Fedora 9, user experience has been decreasing for me. Installing Fedora was a nightmare since trying to do anything other than replace the existing Linux Partition caused anaconda to crash, connecting to computers across my internal home network is precarious, and multimedia support is the worst I've ever seen it. I'd rather see nothing but a significant increase in reliability in F12 than to see any new features at all.

Re: fedora 11 worst then ever release
Fortunately I had read in this list that upgrading breaks Yum so I did a fresh install instead, and only had to spend a few days getting all the configuration back into shape. Sound started working after I deleted ~/.pulse. The primary reason why Fedora 11 is the worst ever for me is a badly broken compiler. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507247) Luckily I've finally found the error, so I can at least build fixed compiler packages for myself until Fedora 12 is released with GCC 4.4.1 where the bug is fixed.

(FC4-FC5-FC6-F7-F8-F9-F10-F11) Seems like your problem is that anaconda for some reasons crash on your system, but with the infos you provided we can only speculate what happened. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Do you keep the same home for both? I don't do upgrades either, since the time rh9 to fc1 didn't work for me. But I dont complain, kind of got used to the idea that fedora is not made for upgrades. However, fresh install every time takes too much time for deploying all the old tweaked configs and stuff... so I switch between versions just once a year, from f N to f n+2, keeping two consequent version of fedora on two different machines. -- regards, Oleksandr Korneta I'm running F9 x86_64 and F10 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter. /The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Do you keep the same home for both? Interestingly, home directories are more stable across the Fedora releases than anything else. With the above update scheme, I kept the same home directories for a few Fedora releases in a row (since ~FC5).

Help needed with fedora-security-guide-en-US-1.0-16.fc12
I'm having problems with a Publican package (the Security Guide). Below you will see the latest build error from Koji. I'm not familiar with the error and I can't find anything listed on the wiki pages that I'm used to finding solutions to packaging errors. The SPEC file can be seen at http://sparks.fedorapeople.org/Packages/security-guide/fedora-security-guide-en-US.spec. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

vnc and inetd
I am trying to get vnc working via inetd on my Fedora Core 8 machine. I want to be able to use a vnc viewer to open up a window and get a login window, so I can be logged into the same machine twice under different usernames. I followed the man page for Xvnc: = In the nowait mode, Xvnc uses its standard input and output directly as the connection to a viewer. It never has a listening socket, so cannot accept further connections from viewers (it can however connect out to listening viewers by use of the vncconfig program). Further viewer connections to the same TCP port result in inetd spawning off a new Xvnc to deal with each connection. When the connection to the viewer dies, the Xvnc and any associated X clients die. This behaviour is most useful when combined with the XDMCP options -query and -once. An typical example in inetd.conf might be (all on one line): 5950streamtcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once securitytypes=none In this example a viewer connection to :50 will result in a new Xvnc for that connection which should display the standard XDM login screen on that machine. Because the user needs to login via XDM, it is usu- ally OK to accept connections without a VNC password in this case. = Of course I had to make an xinetd file, but I seem to have this working. I am running as nobody from xinetd as mentioned above if that is a problem. I can connect with a vnc viewer and it pops up a new window. However, I don't get the xdm login window, just a blank pattern. The docs imply that it'll coordinate with xdm and give me a login window. I found instructions here to try and get xdm to work with a vnc window: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/daniel.rigal/xdmvnc.html I changed all the files mentioned and rebooted. But, I still just get a window with a blank pattern when I connect to :50. When I try to run the xdm test: X -query hostname :1 it seems to start something up another window but with the same blank background pattern I see in the vnc window. I can ctl-alt-F7 ctl-alt-F8 to go back and forth. But, it seems like I am missing something that will enable xdm to take control of the new windows created. What am I missing ?

Fedora 11 - re-mount a usb drive
I am running Fedora 11 on an old IBM Desktop box. Running as a server (NO GUI). When I mount a usb drive with the command: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb The drive mounts up just fine. (It took me forever to figure out that sda1 didn't work on this box.) The problem comes if I umount it and take the drive out of the usb port. After plugging it back in, the mount command no longer works. It barks about specifying the file system, and when I specify the file system, it says that there is no device there. If I restart the server (a bit extreme to mount a usb drive) it works fine.

That adds another level on top of ALSA. If you keep PulseAudio running, you rely on PulseAudio to get several things right, and you cannot influence it since PulseAudio adds itself as another layer on top of ALSA. Hence you see a pulse device instead of the default (hw:0) device, for example. Same for input. I then tried the pavucontrol gui configured to 'Profile: Output Analog Stereo + Input Analog Stereo'. Input Analog Stereo to me means it refers to Microphone and Line input jacks which are connected with your onboard audio chipset. Unless somebody disagress, that is the operation mode where you would need to place an audio cable between tv card and input jack. Unlike digital input. The Profile I choose, 'Output Analog Stereo + Input Analog Stereo', gave me the most detail under the Playback, Output Devices and Input Devices tabs. In fact, when using RhythmBox, Playback and Output Devices tabs showed the application name and a sound activity bar. Similarly, when playing a video on CNN, Playback showed 'ALSA plug-in [firefox]' and sound activity. However, when using tvtime no application is recognized by pavucontrol. Again, that is because tvtime doesn't do any audio playback at all. $ amixer contents numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='Master Playback Switch' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw--,values=1 : values=on numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='Master Playback Volume' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw--,values=2,min=0,max=65536,step=1 : values=57583,57583 numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Switch' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw--,values=1 : values=on numid=1,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Volume' ; type=INTEGER,access=rw--,values=2,min=0,max=65536,step=1 : values=65536,65536 This too suggests I should use 'Master' as the tvtime control/channel. Can't follow that conclusion. 'Master' controls the final volume of the sum of all active channels. It doesn't control which capture channel is active and whether its volume is levelled up at all. It also doesn't control whether any signal is sent to an input channel (in analogue mode). Now, amixer defaults to sound card 0 (hw:0), but it can show other sound cards using the -c option (-c n). No combination of amixer and -c1 produces anything useful other than the standard help list on stdout/stderr. You don't have a device '1'. Your onboard chipset is the only one, '0'. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

fedora 11 worst then ever release
hi, first of all i use linux since '94 so i've seen a few releases. and learned to wait a few weeks before upgrade. now i try to upgrade from a few fully update f10 to f11. it's a nightmare! on a 5 years old hardware with raid1 system and boot partition anaconda crash with dmraid error while i don't use dmraid just mdraid:-( and since preupgrade also crash with the same error there is no way to properly upgrade from the latest release to the next release! not even with nodmraid kernel option. on system where anaconda do not crash f10 update's yum newer then on f11 iso's so the installer do not upgrade yum! so after the upgrade yum no longer works. as the installer do not upgrade kernel-devel akmods not able to rebuild kernel module for nvidia and ati so X not able to start. in order to be able to get the latest kernel-devel and akmods packages i need network. but as i don't have X i can't use these fantastic networkmanager tool and the old ifup wlan0 no longer works. but without networkmanager wifi is not working so my laptop is no longer usable! no X ati do not working, no wireless. all of my system has a wrong openssl version so eg ntp never start. after i manually get (with a pendrive) yum packages yum able to work but crash and ask me to send this bug to the developer (but still without network). there was some python 2.5 abi problem. how can a system critical tool like yum depend on such a broken thing like python? currently there is no way in installer to use rpm it use yum:-( after i update by hand a few dozen of packages with rpm yum start to work. now the worst part after i already install f11 yum show 2069 packages to update!!! just one month after the release! my system consist of 2059 packages at the same time yum download 2069 packages to update! what the hell i doing??? why do i upgrade the system for a half days if i upgrade all of my packages. why do i need a dvd iso? this download is more then the whole iso! and the real annoying part after i upgrade a few thousands of packages is the sound no longer works! there is no volume control i can't play even a wav file with play ...wav. is it so difficult thing? in 2009 it's a big requirement that an operating system be able to play a wav file? anyway nothing is working no sound at all skype is no longer works. tv tunner card no longer works. why anybody try to push this pulse stuff!? it's known to broken no one like it it's very early in development. after each fedora release a real big part of the mailing list traffic is about pulseaudio. let's just exclude it out and try to use it after 2012. are you really wanna suck so much with it? and the firefox and thunderbird betas... why? do we really need to be so cutting edge? they are broken and crash too often:-( thunderbird has no google calendar provider (while it had in f10) so it's worse then in f10. there is a testing thunderbird-lightening which has no corresponding thunderbird release (f11 was released on 9th juli:-) on a simple on borad intel video card X/gnome crash daily. and i could be list many other problems. so i really thing that's the worst then ever release of fedora. and tend to agree with dag that fedora is not suitable even for the desktop/workstation world. and i can't say anything those ubuntu users who said it's working in ububtu:-( if rhel 6 will be released i'll push a new company policy that no one can use fedora (it's so much problem for the users and the support that it's not worth for it) even as a desktop os just centos 6. a really angry fedora user. -- Levente Si vis pacem para bellum! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Market share has nothing specific to do with Fedora. Ubuntu should be distro of choice for newbies and market share gaining, not Fedora. If Ubuntu is also configured not to have that two second pause in grub, you should ask *them* to fix it, since they have a lot of newbies who might get into trouble without it. If a newbie tries Fedora and gets disappointed, the problem is not the default configuration choices of Fedora, but the user choice of the distro. There are different levels of user-friendlyness. Fedora is mainly targeting users who are already devoted to Linux, so its default configuration tries to be seasoned-user-friendly, not newbie-friendly. Better go whine on the Ubuntu list for such defaults. Fedora is simply not the distro that should be used for advertizing Linux to newbies and gaining potential market share.

A user that works with the developer(s) to correct the bug. For themselves and for others. (K)Ubuntu has its place. They are distribution for the 'install it and forget it' crowd. They do all the setups and configuration and all of the nanny hand holding. This 'install it and forget it' crowd then sits in front of the monitor and 'surfs the web'. They play their mp3s. They watch their videos. These users, the 'install it and forget it' crowd, are the ones that show up on this list with the 'this is crap' and 'my stuff don't' work! rants and whines.

Re: fedora 11 worst then ever release
first of all i use linux since '94 so i've seen a few releases. Hm... there is no way to properly upgrade from the latest release to the next release! Since 94? yum upgrade. on system where anaconda do not crash f10 update's yum newer then on f11 iso's so the installer do not upgrade yum! Sure. It is in continues development. On Fedora you must know what installation DVD is for. longer works. as the installer do not upgrade kernel-devel akmods not able to rebuild kernel module for nvidia and ati so X not able to start. There are no fglrx for F11. Sad but true. Thise is what you must to know too. So, akmod is installed, but kmod can't be compiled. It is a real problem, it is exist, but no X with fglrx, but radeon(hd) or even vesa - all for you. Just edit (nano? vi?) /etc/X11/xorg.conf. but without networkmanager system-config-network-tui is present on DVD. all of my system has a wrong openssl version How did you manage it? there was some python 2.5 abi problem. F11 have Python 2.6. You have your system partial updated. But it could be fixed. how can a system critical tool like yum depend on such a broken thing like python? It just works. after i update by hand a few dozen of packages with rpm yum start to work. Yes! I knew it! Partial update. after i already install f11 yum show 2069 packages to update!!! just one month after the release! my system consist of 2059 packages at the same time yum download 2069 packages to update! what the hell i doing??? why do i upgrade the system for a half days if i upgrade all of my packages. why do i need a dvd iso? this download is more then the whole iso! OK. When Fedora prepare to releas mainterners freez package versions. They create iso's. But (suddenly) developers release a new version of there product. Will it be updated in Fedora DVD iso? Of cause, not. Then, developers of second package released it stuff, third, forth... Yum updated, KDE updated, DeviceKit updated, R updated. Opensource world is in development, continues development. In updates repo you can find newer packages, than presented on the moment of Fedora releas. So, it completly normal. I think, it is not just normal, it's greate! the sound no longer works! And it is a problem. It need to be resolved, I'm agree with you. and the firefox and thunderbird betas... Sorry. Don't use them. on a simple on borad intel video card X/gnome crash daily. May be hardware problem? and i could be list many other problems. Cindly ask you to do it. This could help to develop Fedora, make it better with future releases. and tend to agree with dag that fedora is not suitable even for the desktop/workstation world. Dag is wrong.

My previous comments assumed you could surf the Internet, but your connection eventually failed. my connection worked initially, and for some time, then suddenly dns stopped working. see if vou can ping linuxtoday.com, if it's a DNS problem you won't be able to connect to server. Fedora is also having a IPV6 problem, it's looking for IPV6 instead of IPV4. He has no nameservers listed, so unless he is running a local nameserver (bind, etc.) he can't resolve any names. See `man resolv.conf`, the second paragraph and the nameserver section. This is (most likely) happening when his DHCP lease is renewed and something doesn't work. There might be a log (perhaps /var/log/messages) where PPP mentions such things. -- TonyN.:' mailto:tonynel...@georgeanelson.com ' http://www.georgeanelson.com/ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

So, though I am assuming, it's not really an assumption. :) Perhaps it would help to not sort the output: ls -U | wc should give the number of files without needing to sort them. In any case, the directories large size (in the OP) shows that at least at one time they had a large number of files. A `rm -rf` command might take a while to complete if they still do. If deleting them with `rm -rf` doesn't work and the `find` approach is too slow, it might help to delete them in batches: find . -type f -exec rm -f '{}' + -- TonyN.:' mailto:tonynel...@georgeanelson.com ' http://www.georgeanelson.com/ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
