Upcoming multi-day outage
Starting on December 12th The Fedora Project will start to move several servers, disk trays and related hardware from our current hosting location to another. This move is planned to be completed on December 15th and will ultimately provide better hosting facilities and room for growth. Since the servers will physically be loaded onto a truck and moved, this means lots of services people rely on will be down. We'll be working hard and using whatever tricks we have at our disposal to keep things as normal as possible, for example http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/ will remain up (which includes the mechanism yum uses to get its mirror list). Some critical services like the buildsystem will be completely unavailable for 48 hours or longer. I'll be sending another update out as the day gets closer to remind everyone. Also this is the official ticket we're tracking with for those who care to watch it: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1845 Please do stop by #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net or comment in the ticket with any questions or concerns you have. -Mike -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list

Is this a bug in NetworkManager or Firefox ? This is odd behaviour and needs to be fixed. I would suggest open up a bug against firefox. I know one can change toolkit.networkmanager.disable preference, but it is a PITA for our users. One of use cases is: Sometime network manager does not connect me via my CDMA usb modem (in case signal is weak), but wvdial does and once I switch from NM to wvdial, my firefox gets to offline mode, which I don't expect it to as I am connected. Ok, filed as: 542078 NetworkManager is intended to control the default internet connection. If NetworkManager cannot control the default internet connection, then you may not want to use NetworkManager. In your case, you're using a mobile broadband device. The real bug here is that for whatever reason, NM/MM aren't connecting your modem, and we should follow up on that bug instead. Dan I am not using a mobile broadband device. The network connection my systems My mistake. I guess it was Rakesh Pandit who was using a CDMA 3G connection. use is not just the Internet it is a local network LAN connection that also serves the internet. Most of my systems use a local network server which provides NIS, /home and /data using NFS and VPN etc. I normally use the service network to bring up wired or wireless networking for this. Fedora, by default, uses NetworkManager to manage all network devices though. I use the service network as, for some reason, the NetworkManager service is started after the netfs and other services are started. Is there a reason for this ?? No particular reason, in fact that looks like a bug. NM no longer depends on HAL, but that dependency is still in the initscript, which looks like it pushes NM later than netfs. But in reality, you're looking for a dependency based initsystem which we don't quite yet have. There are already scripts that kick netfs to mount stuff when NM brings the network up (/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/05-netfs), so you get asynchronous bootup *and* your mounts. The rest of the system, if it requires something from the mounted directories, needs to be smart enough to know that. If you need to, you can set NETWORKWAIT=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network, which causes the NetworkManager initscript to block until a network connection is brought up, or 30 seconds have passed. I can obviously turn of the NetworkManager service, which I have done on the desktop systems. However, I also have a few Laptops that can roam. In F11 and before I have used the network and NetworkManager services. When the laptop boots away from home, the network service fails and I can then use the NetworkManager service to connect to whatever wireless network or G3 network is available. It does seem sensible to me that the system provides applications with info on if the network is up (not just the Internet). The NetworkManager service seems the place to do this and it looks like the applications are starting to use it for this purpose. So maybe a generic NM isNetworkUp() API call is called for ? See the other mail; the problem with a generic isUp() is that it simply says hey, is there a connection? It doesn't provide enough information about the networking state of the system for anything to make an intelligent decision about anything. It's a hey I'm connected to something but there's no information about *what* you're connected to; whether it's a secure home network, whether it's a slow 3G network, whether it's billed by the minute or the hour or unlimited, etc. Dan Hi, Thanks for the info. I would have thought that a generic isUp() is good enough for the likes of Firefox and Pidgen though to decide if to start offline. Being connected to a Network is probably all you need, you may be accessing an Intranet as all my systems Firefox home pages do ... Anyway, following your email (And notes in Bugzilla) I thought I'd try and use NM properly for my config. However I have a problem, which may be a bug. I have turned off the Network services and turned on NetworkManger. I have two main network interfaces eth0 (wired) and eth1 (Wifi), both are set to be managed by NM and to start at boot. I have also added NETWORKWAIT=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network. When I boot with this the network (eth1 (eth0 is disconnected)) does not come up at boot. There is a message stating a failure on the line where it is waiting for the network to come up. When I log in as a local user the network then comes up ...

[1]: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html That's pretty neat, but probably not much help to us. What this is is a custom (proprietary, closed source, it seems) bootloader which basically does this: 1) installs what amounts to a DOS TSR driver for each of: a) IDE (of some unspecified variety) b) [EOU]HCI c) ATAPI and similar (i.e. SCSI MMC/SBC command sets along with encapsulation for CDROM and USB-storage) d) notably not any SATA/AHCI/etc 2) acts as a chainloading boot loader for whatever bootloader is on media that it finds.

Re: Build Failure regarding Boost
2009/12/1 Tim Niemueller t...@niemueller.de: Hi all. I'm trying to build the newest version 3.0.0 of the Player package. It builds just fine on F11/F12, but it fails with an error that -lboost_thread cannot be found on rawhide. boost-devel is in the BR, boost-thread is being installed according to root.log. The package uses cmake for building, where I suspect the problem. On my (F-11) machine it links with -lboost_thread-mt). But on rawhide it uses the non-mt version (well, a non-multithreaded threading library is kind of an issue). On my system I have cmake 2.6.3, while rawhide has 2.8.0. Is there a known problem? Does anyone else maintain a project build with cmake and using Boost and can give a hint how to solve? aqsis use cmake and boost, but also explicitly tell which boost library to use.

Upcoming multi-day outage
Starting on December 12th The Fedora Project will start to move several servers, disk trays and related hardware from our current hosting location to another. This move is planned to be completed on December 15th and will ultimately provide better hosting facilities and room for growth. Since the servers will physically be loaded onto a truck and moved, this means lots of services people rely on will be down. We'll be working hard and using whatever tricks we have at our disposal to keep things as normal as possible, for example http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/ will remain up (which includes the mechanism yum uses to get its mirror list). Some critical services like the buildsystem will be completely unavailable for 48 hours or longer. I'll be sending another update out as the day gets closer to remind everyone. Also this is the official ticket we're tracking with for those who care to watch it: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1845 Please do stop by #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net or comment in the ticket with any questions or concerns you have. -Mike ___ Fedora-devel-announce mailing list fedora-devel-annou...@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-announce -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

And you will also need some oversight of what the developers are doing with respect to security and this security policy. The QA process should catch the oops problems ... not those done intentionally by a well-intentioned developer. I do not know that much about PolicyKit and given my interests in security, I probably need to learn about it. One thing that occurs to me is to wonder if PolicyKit is using SELinux (see SELinux Users and Roles). If not, why not? Regardless of how PolicyKit works, the default should be locked-down with an easy-to-use sysadmin tool to provide configuration with the ability to open- things-up in a controlled manner. You should talk to the folks handling SELinux. My impression of them is that they know what they are doing and may provide some insight into the PolicyKit problem. Fedora has come a long way since SELinux was first introduced. It would be a shame if the enhanced security provided by SELinux was negated by PolicyKit. A couple of other comments: - No, I do not believe that regular users should be able to update or install software globally without transitioning to an admin role ... they can put stuff in their home directory but not globally. - I agree with Smooge in one of the messages he wrote ... there are many users who would like to run Fedora just like Windows95.

Odd partition error in F12, but not in F11
I have a friend that doesn't read the list that has been fighting a very odd issue with F12, which does not surface in F11. On a clean install from the F12 DVD with the updates repo enabled, he created a RAID 5 setup across 6 drives. Each drive has only one partition on it. When the machine reboots it cannot rebuild the raid because it cannot find 4 of the 6 partitions. It drops to the root prompt and from there if you do an ls /dev/sd?* four of the drives show no entries for the partitions while the other two show the normal one partition. If you open one of the incorrect drives with fdisk it shows the correct partition table and if you write it out from fdisk it then shows correctly in /dev If you do this to each of the drives they all show up and then mdadm can assemble the raid correctly. Reboot the machine and you are right back to where you started. dmesg seems to show the kernel correctly listing each drive and correctly listing them with each one partition, but the entries are not in /dev for the partitions. We rolled back to F11 and performed the same process and it worked fine. I am really at a loss for what to look at or what to test against. We currently have the machine up and working with F11, so I can get any information about hardware that might help. I posted it here rather than the users list, because I don't really think this is a configuration problem. It seems like a bug in F12, but I don't know what to check it against.

Re: Blocking radeonhd (was Re: Fedora 12 Graphics Issues: Cancel F13 and concentrate on fixing F12 ?)
Dne 1.12.2009 21:43, Bill Nottingham napsal(a): If the e1000 driver is broken in the kernel for some people, we don't support shipping an alternate driver. If a new version of the intel graphics driver is broken for some people, we don't support shipping a pre-KMS version of the driver. Why would we do differently here? Because if e1000 is broken, we can be sure with reasonably high level of certainity, it will be fixed without undue delay. For Xorg drivers (especially with regards to 3D support) we have hope that it will be slightly better in the next Fedora release, but complete coverage is still just a dream. Moreover, I don't know what's your problem with radeonhd driver in Fedora. Hanz does IMHO excellent job on maintaining it and it doesn't drag much additional resources on anybody (except on me, perhaps, because I triage bugs for him as well, which is the reason that this time I even a little know what I am talking about ;)). And of course comparing -radeonhd bugs (http://is.gd/59Hc0) with -ati bugs (http://is.gd/59Hp0) is unfair, because there are many more users of -ati driver, but at least it shows that radeonhd is really not burning issue.

[Bug 541888] Fontforge crashes when loading font
Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541888 --- Comment #2 from Tobias Ringstrom tob...@ringis.se 2009-12-01 08:10:43 EDT --- There are no fonts in /usr/share/X11/fonts/. Did you mean /usr/share/fonts/? I tried removing all files in ~/.fontconfig, and I also ran 'fc-cache /usr/share/fonts/*', but fontforge still crashed. As you can see in the error above, fontforge complains about the font -arphic-ar-something. That font is in cjkuni-uming-fonts-0.2.20080216.1-29.fc12.noarch. Removing that RPM makes fontforge work. While it's possible that there's a problem with the cjkuni-uming-fonts RPM, Fontforge should still not crash. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

[Bug 540390] [all_langs except ml_IN] Boxes appearing on Font GUI instead of latin characters
Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540390 K. Sethu skh...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||skh...@gmail.com --- Comment #3 from K. Sethu skh...@gmail.com 2009-12-01 11:26:56 EDT --- When wanting to check for the presence or the absence of this bug in a different language locale, rather than going through the procedure of a log-out and the log back in with another locale, it is more convenient to just launch from a terminal the gnome-appearance-properties applet together with the export of LANG environment variable set to the relevant language For e.g., for Tamil,regardless of with which language locale the current session is being run, from a terminal launch the applet with the following command export LANG=ta_IN gnome-appearance-properties Similarly the applet can be launched for any number of other languages from the different required number of terminals. They can be viewed simultaneously for making comparisons. I made the following screen-shot in Fedora 11 wherein the 3 shown simultaneous instances of the gnome-appearance-properties are for US English (LANG= en_US.UTF-8), Tamil LANG=ta_IN) and Kannada (LANG=kn_IN) : http://sites.google.com/site/skhome/fedorarelate/screen/appear-pref-serif-Lohit-buggy.png The additional image in the same screen-shot is a gnome-terminal in which I had checked which fonts Fontconfig had matched for the generic font serif in case of each of the 3 languages. It is the serif (as I have empirically found and proved to myself) that is used for those sample glyphs cages in the Appearance Preferences dialog. The fact that whenever the Fontconfig framework has to match a font lacking the Latin range glyphs to serif this bug being caused to occur, points to two possibilities. First and more likely cause is that the applet could be faulty in that while making a font match it is not passing to Fontconfig the correct information that the sample glyph data are only fixed ascii range codes meant to be Latin characters only and not as per the language locale in use. The other possibility is the sample data is up for l10n translations which have not been carried out and the Latin data are repeated falsely for each language. I haven't checked the source codes and my conjecture are speculative. Well, hopefully upstream fixing would solve this bug once and for all. However I like to suggest that it is better to also include Latin range glyphs (at least English) in all Lohit fonts to make them more competitive in the field. ~Sethu -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

Installing the LiveCd version from a stick is simple. It's how I originally got F11 onto my netbook. Updating to F12 from the full DVD download (even copied to a stick) is a lot harder than it should be. I know it can be done because several people have reported doing it, but they all recommend slightly different and rather hacky methods. Perhaps a full install or update from USB devices should be added as an option in future releases as I'm sure it's going to become an increasingly common requirement. I finally just did preupgrade and it worked, touch wood, but that depends on having a working system (and network) when you're doing it. poc -- 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

problem using revisor in F12
Hello list, I want to use revisor (in GUI mode) to create an optical live media of F12, but before I've created a kickstart file using system-config-kickstart to pass to revisor. Then, I run revisor using a config file I've created including the F12-i386 repository. It preforms several tasks from the list it displays Resolve Dependencies - Done Populating Statistics - Done Downloading Packages - Done Creating ext3 Filesystem - Done Installing packages - Done Configure System - Running... and then it stays there indefinitely...looking at the console, it shows the message available at the end of this mail. This is the first time I use revisor and the kickstart creator. Can anybody help me?

It appears you are using this: http://www.litsoft.com/across/alite/download.htm That's true. It's been 5 or 6 years since I did it but the binary hasn't changed. It's dated 1997! To run that, I had to install: lesstif libXp libXpm compat-libstdc++-296 Yup, got all those.

It even displays the crossword grid (with no text) and immediately segfaults. If run with no command-line argument it starts normally and presents the File Open dialogue. Trying to open the puzzle causes the segfault (I tried several different puzzles just in case). Just for the hell of it I also tried both versions from the NYT site (one is statically linked to the Motif lib, the other is dynamic). Interestingly, they are both different from the one I have, and neither will even attempt to run: $ ./acrossl bash: ./acrossl: /lib/ld-linux.so.1: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory ldd of course doesn't help here, since it needs to run the binary. However I suspect it wants the i386 version of glibc rather than the installed i686 (which coincides with my original post even for the wrong reason). I'm not sure I can even install the i386 glibc without wreaking havoc.

I find British plain crosswords are too simple (about the level of a NYT Monday or Tuesday) and the cryptic crosswords are a completely different kettle of fish, perfect for when you want your ego smashed by failing to complete more than a quarter of the answers. I've become used to the NYT style and like to solve it every day, which I can usually do, even the fiendish Saturdays. The NYT also has a Java version. I dislike it, as I dislike all other Java crosswords out there. For one thing, you can't usually save them and continue later. For another, they all use different keyboard conventions and are generally clunky.

F12 starting Gnote
When I upgraded to F12 from F11, I installed Gnote and removed Tomboy. To get Gnote to start with Gnome, I added it to the session preferences as /usr/bin/gnote. Now, when I login, Gnote starts, displaying the search window. When I close the search window, Gnote exits entirely.

F12 + ath9k + hostapd (0.7.0) = problems
Hello guys, After the a bit problematic upgrade to F12 I tried to make my wifi AP (WPA2) work. SoI compiled hostapd trunk version I used without a problem in F11 and I immediately experienced DHCP problems and wifi clients were disconnected after about 2-5 minutes after the handshake was established (and did not reconnect afterwards). I made an upgrade to the latest F12 kernel and tried again. I also tried latest developement hostapd version - 0.7.0 but without luck. As the last resort I managed to install latest F11 kernel to my F12 and bingo - wifi is stable and DHCP problems dissapeared. So in summary: F12 kernel kernel-PAE-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 and kernel-PAE-2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686 do not work for me with hostapd 0.7.0 or older trunk version. F11 kernel kernel-PAE-2.6.30.9-99.fc11.i686 works fine.

My question is: would clicking on Copy to hard disk at that point look at the USB stick for the data to copy? Something to think about - it is already using the USB stick as its source. The file system that is on the stick is a compressed file system, so it is already accessing it. When it does the copy to disk, it is coping the expanded version of the file system, not the compressed image. At that point, it does not care where the compressed image is.

No. Remember, the file system from the live CD is a compressed file system. It is the uncompressed, working version of the file system that is copied. If it just copied the compressed image, then updates would quickly become a problem. You can not write to the compressed file system, and using a persistent overlay, like you do when running from the USB stick, is not a good option.

KVM reboot fails
All, I have been searching google for about two weeks, and looking over everything else and I just can't figure this out, so I am polling on the greater combined experience of the list to help me out with this. I have recently set up a virtual machine under KVM, which runs fine on my system. The problem is, I can't reboot the system, nor can it reboot itself. The Guest is running Windows 2008 Standard, and instead of shutting down, or rebooting, after it is all done, it goes to a BSOD, which only happens when it is trying to reboot. If I try to do this from virsh I get the error: libvir: error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainReboot The host running the VM's is fedora 9 64 bit edition, that I haven't gotten around to upgrading yet (patch management is EOL, or very close to EOL, so upgrading is something I have been working on getting done) virsh is version 0.5.1 and qemu-kvm is version 0.9.1 (kvm-65). Outside of sucking it up and upgrading, which is what I figure would need to be done, I would like to try to understand why this is having a problem. If I can fix this, I can take my time and fix other issues that are preventing me from upgrading properly instead of being rushed.

OK the F12 case could be my finger trouble or even a hardware problem I will install F12 on a second machine and test again (against the same server) Can you verify that you run into the same issue if you run NFS over TCP as opposed to NFS over UDP (it's an option in the mount command on the client, use either proto=tcp or proto=udp). By default, the system queries the server and selects a protocol based on what's being asked of it. See the TRANSPORT METHODS section of man nfs. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ri...@nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 22643734Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - The Theory of Rapitivity: E=MC Hammer- - -- Glenn Marcus (via TopFive.com) - -- Hi Rick Many thanks for the reply - you have found a work-around !! Just tested my machine with UDP and TCP This was using md5sum for about 10GB over the NFS mount 1. The default for F12/Centos5.4 appears to be TCP - which freezes 2. Forcing UDP gives NO errors for 10GB transfer 3. Forcing TCP gives a freeze Having briefly read the man pages this is the opposite of what I would expect and of what you suggest !! There must be a timing problem somewhere - Please see the other thread Sky2 NIC Problem? - Was F12 NFS Failures for other tests I have carried out Regards John what are your other mount options? having seen the Sky2 NIC Problem message, your card/driver may be having issues, but some nfs options may help/hurt. I am assuming that you only have 'hard' and not 'hard,intr' as options to the mount. And for transferring large files over NFS, I have had experiences that say stay away from 'soft' NFS. it is interesting that TCP nfs locks the machine and fails to copy the very large file, while UDP succeeds in copying the same file with the same device/drver. BTW when you say that UDP gave no errors, do you mean that from the user program perspective (cp, and then sha256sum) there were no errors, or that from both the user and syslog perspective there were no errors? I am wondering if you have found a place where the UDP code deals with a bad packet correctly and the TCP version has not seen enough (bad environment) testing. Wouldn't happen to have a serial cable around so you can capture where the kernel goes bonkers at would you?

Re: wine on x86_64 F12

Problems seem to be 32 vs. 64 bit issues. So, I tried removing all wine*.x86_64, leaving the i686. This doesn't work either. winecfg wine: created the configuration directory '/home/nbecker/.wine' wine: could not exec wineserver I'm guessing a working wine setup would require grabbing additional i686 packages that are not in the x86_64 repo. Anyone else looked at this? I ran into this a few weeks ago and don't remember what fixed it. I know I played with installing/uninstalling various wine related packages. Dumb question: Have you rebooted after running into this error? I think I remember finding something that suggest that as a solution... Maybe there is some environment variable set between the i686 and 64 bit packages that gets things confused which gets cleared during a reboot. Unless you are actually going to run 64bit windows apps I would suggest not installing any wine x86_64 packages.

Re: httpd with symbolic links and selinux enabled

Have you configured Apache to follow symlinks?

Yes, Apache follows symlinks. That's why http://localhost/~user/foo/
is accessible.
You also need appropriate file and directory permissions (world readable
files and directories, and directories need to be world executable,
too).
All necessary permissions are set. Only directories inside ~/foo that
contain symlinks are inaccessible. Remove the symlinks, and they
become accessible. Also, http://localhost/~user/foo/bar/baz.html is
accessible even though http://localhost/~user/foo/bar/ isn't. Finally,
symlinks within ~/public_html itself work fine. So it seems that
symlinks within symlinks are the only ones that give me trouble.
Should have attached the following log messages earlier:

You need to fix the context to match that in public_html
chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t foo
Would do it.

To dd or to rsync, that's the question...
Which is the preferred backup solution? As it seems, when I use rsync to copy data from disk1 partitionX over to disk2 partition X, I noticed that if one uses Fedora Selinux, one has to touch /.autorelabel for that partition. It seems to work, except in cases where the UUID is being hard-wired especially with HAL devices and I started noticing it in cases where xorg devices are sometimes spitting out errors showing UUID devices, and crashes Nautilus but recovers and it does this almost every time the system is rebooted into Fedora. On the other hand, if one decides to use dd instead, does this preserve the UUID of the devices including that of the disk partition and it should work perfectly even without the use of /.autorelabel? I am trying to get data off of disk1 which is failing (via smartd) and wish to use the correct backup and restore method getting the data off of disk1 onto disk2 without integrity loss, whatever that means. In the case of dd, it falls flat, if there are sector errors and this would not work, as in my case - so backup programs that do byte copy would perhaps also fail. This was the reason I was forced to use rsync in order to get the data copied over (with errors: I had two files corrupted and I assumed that a reinstall of the OS would pickup the missing pieces) so this leads to Vista as follows on this case, however, I experimented on another system using dd and Vista, it seems to make no difference at all when trying to 'upgrade' or reinstall the OS on top of the existing OS. I noticed that dd was the only solution for XP and it works, on the other hand it does not work for Vista. What I did in the Vista case was to rsync the Vista partition to disk2/Vista partition, bootrec /fixBoot, set active (boot) to the drive2/Vista partition and completely reinstall Vista (because I could not figure out how to 'update' instead of Install as the Update was greyed out), and in doing it this way, the Vista/DVD seemed to recognize the partition as such, but moved the contents to windows.old and proceeded to complete the installation. Of course, this means a complete manual reinstall of 3rd party software and user profile, a royal pain in the a$$. Interestingly though, it appears that one does not need to reactivate the license, and I have yet to see it being asked for. Any pointers/advice is appreciated!
