Run from a root terminal session yum clean all yum update to catch up with all the updates since the initial issue of F11. If there are missing dependencies use the --skip-broken option for yum if yum-utils is installed. It is possible that there is an selinux label problem.

Re: Where is pulseaudio started?
Some people had asked to keep this thread going so here is what I've found so far. (Note That I'm using GNOME and GDM so I started with GDM. There is, no doubt, something for equivalent KDE) For those who want the short version, I still don't have it figured out yet but I now think that the autostart of the xdg directory *.desktop files is called from within gnome-session. I found this page: http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.26/gdm.html This describes how GDM executes a number of scripts during the login process: Init PostLogin PreSession Xsession The Init script is located in /etc/gdm/Init/Default and has nothing to do with PA which I sort of already knew as PA gets started during the login process not before it The PostLogin script would be called would be called /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default if one existed but on my system it has been renamed to Default.sample and is empty. The PreSession script is located in /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default and this also has nothing to do with PA. Section 5.3 of the html doc above says There is also an Xsession script located at etc/gdm/Xsession which is called between the PreSession and the PostSession scripts. ...This script is run as the user, and it will run whatever session was specified by the Desktop session file the user selected to start. Looking at this script you can see that it is indeed this file that starts the gnome-session. The web page above has a section called Autostart Configuration which says The share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow directory contains files in the format specified by the FreeDesktop.org Desktop Application Autostart Specification. Standard features in the specification may be used to specify programs should auto-restart or only be launched if a GConf configuration value is set, etc. Any .desktop files in this directory will cause the associated program to automatically start with the login GUI greeter. # ls -g /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2250 2008-12-18 18:31 at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2570 2008-12-18 18:31 gdm-simple-greeter.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 4835 2008-12-18 18:31 gnome-mag.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 4440 2008-12-18 18:31 gnome-power-manager.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 2302 2008-12-18 18:31 gnome-settings-daemon.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 4986 2008-12-18 18:31 gok.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 1333 2008-12-18 18:31 metacity.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 6449 2008-12-18 18:31 orca-screen-reader.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root 171 2008-11-17 15:52 plymouth-log-viewer.desktop (The -g is just to keep the lines shorter) So, as you can see, no pulseaudio.desktop here. My conclusion so far is that pulseaudio is started by autostart and that the /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop files are called from within gnome-session. I need to research gnome-session next.

It's not the fact that there is a line disabling autostart that puzzled me, it was the fact that the file was removed altogether when PA did get autostarted so then what caused start-pulseaudio-x11 to be run? Look also in /etc/xdg/autostart/ and at http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html This provides the answer. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS are not set and the two files /etc/xdg/autostart/foo.desktop and ~/.config/autostart/foo.desktop exist then only the file ~/.config/autostart/foo.desktop will be used because ~/.config/autostart/ is more important than /etc/xdg/autostart/ So when ~/.config/pulseaudio.desktop is removed, /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop is used instead and this file contains the start-pulseaudio-x11. Do you have any links to more information about autostart? For instance, how does it interact with GDM?

Fedora 10's Epiphany package, just as all F-10 packages, will stop being maintained only when it hits its End-of-Life in December. There's a significant difference between pushing new major upstream versions to fix things, and simply applying patches/fixes on an as-needed basis to the current version. While we can't do the former, as Seth explained because of necessary updates to so many other dependencies, we will still happily do the latter as long as F10 continues to be officially supported. When I filed a bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592612 the response from the epiphany developers was Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report. Can you reproduce this problem with Epiphany 2.27.x with the WebKit backend? Because the Gecko backend has been discontinued, there will be no more bugfixes for versions 2.26 and earlier. This plainly says there will be no more bugfixes for version 2.26 and earlier. Now you say there will be bugfixes. Who am I to believe?

Can you reproduce this problem with Epiphany 2.27.x with the WebKit backend? Because the Gecko backend has been discontinued, there will be no more bugfixes for versions 2.26 and earlier. This plainly says there will be no more bugfixes for version 2.26 and earlier. Now you say there will be bugfixes. Who am I to believe? Steve Both. The upstream developer is not going to fix bugs in 2.26 and earlier, but Fedora will backport bug fixes. This is not the only package they do this for. (Red Hat does even more of this.) Mikkel I think I must have woken up in Bizzaro world today. ...not going to fix bugs in 2.26 and earlier but Fedora will backport bug fixes. ... I'm sure this makes sense to you but to me it reads that Fedora will backport all the fixes the upstream developer is going to make... which is zero! No matter, the bottom line is that the problem I reported is not going to get fixed in F10 which means that I have to swap over to Windows to use LinkedIn until I change to F11 which I'll do once F12 is released. Even then, the issue might still be there.

F10 SElinux issues

Camera/F-spot problems
It's been a while and several versions of Fedora since I tried this but F-spot used to start automatically when I plugged my camera in to a USB port. Now it doesn't but I see the appropriate USB messages in the system log that show the device is recognized correctly. What does happen is that after a minute or so I see a camera icon appear on the desktop and I can click on the icon and a Nautilus window opens with a message at the top saying this media contains digital photos and a button that says Open F-spot Photo Manager. F-spot does not open when I click on this button and there are no system messages. I can open F-spot manually from the Applications menu but it does not know that a camera is attached to the computer and I don't see a way to tell it where to find the camera. In the end this is just inconvenient because I can get to the picture through the Nautilus window but does anyone else have similar problems and/or any solutions? $ uname -a Linux steve.blackwell 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 19:03:24 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ rpm -qa | grep f-spot f-spot-0.5.0.3-2.fc10.i386 Camera is a Cannon EOS 350D Thanks, Steve -- 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
Preupgrade/Anaconda problem - 3rd time a charm?
I've posted this question twice before but have not received any replies. I want to use preupgrade to go from F8 to F9. I ran preupgrade, selected F9 and downloaded the data. When I rebooted to complete the process, Anaconda started, correctly detected my graphics card and started X. Unfortunately, Anaconda used the wrong setting for my monitor which results in a blank screen with a Out of Range message. I can CtrlAltF1,2,3,4 to see the various messages and logs but I can see nothing on CtrlAltF7. Q1. Where does Anaconda get the settings for the video card from? Q2. Can I tell Anaconda to use the existing xorg.conf file? Q3. Can I tell Anaconda to run in text mode? Any other suggestions? My only other option appears to be to download an F9 respin and burn a DVD.

Can I tell Anaconda to use the existing xorg.conf file? Don't think so. If it doesn't get auto detected properly, it is better to report the problem and get it fixed. So do I report this against Anaconda, Xorg or HAL? All the above? Q3. Can I tell Anaconda to run in text mode? Yep. Refer http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options Thanks for the link. If I edit the grub entry and add text to the line, does that get passed on to Anaconda? I see that there is also a noprobe option. I'll try both of those tonight. Editing the GRUB entry works fine. Adding noprobe (without the quotes) was a non-starter as that causes anaconda not to look for ANY hardware including hard drives. Adding text started off a little more promising but didn't get much further. I ended up with an error message that said: The file createrepo-0.9.5-2.fc9.noarch.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media. Please verify your installation source. If you exit, your system will be left in an inconsistent state that will likely require reinstallation. Yikes! After some checking I saw that this was the first package it tryed to download and install so I can still boot into my old F8 system. On CtrlAltF3 there was this message: Failed to get http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linus/releases/9/Fedora/i386.od/Packages/createrepo-0.9.5-2.fc9.noarch.rpm from mirror 1/1, or downloaded file is corrupt. I used another machine to go to this site and checked that the correct createrepo package was in that location and it was. I checked that I could download it. That seems to leave the network connection as the problem. How can I check if anaconda has set up the network correctly? Any other suggestions?

Re: Warning: rpmfusion nvidia driver needs a special xorg.conf setup.
Linuxguy123 wrote: Some of you may know this, but I didn't and thus I'll share what I learned. The rpmfusion nvidia driver needs a special xorg.conf file. It might not operate properly with a file that previously operated properly with say a livna sourced driver. I posted this last week but did not get any replies. Related? Now that F8 is nearing its EOL, I decided to upgrade my F8 system to F9. I launched preupgrade, selected F9, and completed the download. When I rebooted, anaconda launched but when X started, after it correctly detected my graphics card, a nVidia 8800, it chose the wrong settings either for the card or the monitor resulting in a blank screen. I was able to ctrlalt F1 to see some anaconda messages and after I rebooted again, I was able to boot back into into F8 with no problem. Is there something I can add to the boot line to tell anaconda to use my existing Xorg.conf file?

Samba Vista
I'm trying to use smbclient to look at a Vista box but I keep getting # smbclient -L user-pc -U Kellie Password: I enter a_user password session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE I know the user/password combination is good. I googled around and got the impression that Vista didn't play well with Samba because of some authentication protocol that Vista uses but I also got the impression that the problem was with older version of Samba. I never could find a definitive answer. Does someone know for sure? Below I've put the output of # smbclient -L user-pc -U Kellie -d4 The bit that says Password: Doing spnego session setup (blob length=46) got OID=1 3 6 1 4 1 311 2 2 10 got principal=null looks a bit suspect but I don't really know what I'm looking at so it could be perfectly OK. Any suggestion?
