F14 boot stop
I think it's after F14 update but i can't find where the problem come from. When i boot the system at the end it does not launch X and stops waiting something ? The system is not hang because i can use different VT. If i switch to VT2 i can log and startx. I find no error message and i cant find why the system stops in place to launch X. Any help ?

Re: Feedback
Hello to every one, So, I nicely upgrade my system from fc10 to fc11 with the advises available on the fedora web site. Then I was stocked there, I tried 5 times (reinstalling from fc11) to upgrade either to 12 or 13 with the same result (using preupgrade of the dvd). I was usually able to reboot after the upgrade and after a short while the system was becoming crazy: one command after the other one was not working any more and no way to reboot. So I run a badblock and every things was OK and decided to install fc13 on the exact same partitions. I did not experience any crazy behavior. The only problem is that now it is taking me days before I can get the full installation. It is sad that we cannot upgrade systems smothly and efficiently. I did not mode directly to fc14 because I experienced some problems with an installation: display not working with the full resolution ! network connection not working anymore !

Fedora 14 Kickstart Problems
Hi, Im trying to do automated installation with Fedora 14 kickstart and the configuration [2] shown at the end of this message. The installation never runs through. Anaconda still displays these screens and waits for user input: - Welcome - License Information - Create User - Date and Time - Hardware Profile According to the Anaconda/Kickstart configuration guide [1] there is no further option I know of. Clicking through these screens for while setting up some hundred workstations is quite annoying. Furthermore the password of the created admin user is empty in /etc/shadow although I give it as an option in the kickstart config file. What am I missing? Or is there another better way to install some hundred Workstations with as little user untervention as possible. Currently we're using autoyast for setting up openSUSE 11.0 installations.

Hi Bernd/Others. I'm interested in this issue as well, as I'm looking to try to figure out how to automatically/install/boot a vmware Virtual Machine (VM) from the cli/script process.

Re: Irritating sound when playing flash
Got the same weird problem in 32 bit installation of Fedora 14 with snd_hda_intel realtek driver for the sound. The log file says that maybe the problem is in the module itself, but I doubt it since it happens only with Flash videos. The problem also exist when I resume some Flash video after it was paused for sometime. Also when the cracking happened, my main sound channel changed to PCM for some reason and when I try to adjust my volume to everything below 100%, the whole sound is gone and the only thing that left is the irritating cracking. I installed flash from adobe repo. Any suggestions?

Re: Fedora 14 Kickstart Problems
Hi, Im trying to do automated installation with Fedora 14 kickstart and the configuration [2] shown at the end of this message. The installation never runs through. Anaconda still displays these screens and waits for user input: Here's a sanitized version of my kickstart. I do pxeboot across the network from each system. I don't set up partitions since the systems I deal with all run either RAID 1 or RAID 5 arrays and a few kickstart options were removed a few releases ago that I relied on. So once I set up my RAID arrays in anaconda everything else is automatic. The system reboots into a usable state afterwards ready for a few minor post-install actions that don't seem to work well in a post-install kickstart script. Most of the repo's are actually local mirrors I keep up to date with nightly rsync's. I delete the S99firstboot links in /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d so that never runs on the first boot. # Kickstart file for Fedora 14 installs #version=F14 64-bit x86_64 install # Standard packages like you'd see on an install DVD url --url http://example.com/repo/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/os/ repo --name=local-everything --baseurl=http://example.com/repo/releases/14/Everything/x86_64/os/ repo --name=local-updates --baseurl=http://example.com/repo/updates/14/x86_64/ repo --name=Adobe --baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/ repo --name=rpmfusion-free --baseurl=http://example.com/repo/rpmfusion/free/fedora/releases/14/Everything/x86_64/os/ repo --name=rpmfusion-nonfree --baseurl=http://example.com/repo/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/releases/14/Everything/x86_64/os/ repo --name=rpmfusion-free-updates --baseurl=http://example.com/repo/rpmfusion/free/fedora/updates/14/x86_64/ repo --name=rpmfusion-nonfree-updates --baseurl=http://example.com/repo/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/updates/14/x86_64/ # text lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us xconfig --startxonboot network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --noipv6 --hostname hostname.domain.com rootpw --iscrypted $1$the_encrypted_root_password auth --useshadow --enablemd5 --enablenis --nisdomain somenis --enablecache selinux --disabled firewall --disabled timezone --utc America/Chicago bootloader --location=mbr --md5pass=$1$mygrubpassword services --disabled=NetworkManager,iptables,ip6tables,bluetooth,libvirtd --enabled=network,nfs,nfslock,autofs,sendmail,ypbind,nscd,rlogin,rsh,ntpd,rstatd %packages --ignoremissing # Bunch of packages and groups listed here #Packages to skip # A few packages listed here that I do NOT # want installed %end %post --interpreter /bin/bash IP=`host $HOSTNAME | cut --fields=4 -d ` export IP echo # Hosts file generated by kickstart %post section /etc/hosts echo 127.0.0.1localhost.localdomainlocalhost /etc/hosts echo $IP`hostname``hostname -s` /etc/hosts # Notify on completion cat /var/tmp/complete.txt EOR_INSTALL_COMPLETE *** The Fedora 14 install on `hostname` is finished. `hostname` has rebooted and is ready for post-install procedures. *** EOR_INSTALL_COMPLETE mail -s `hostname` installation status some...@somewhere.com /var/tmp/complete.txt # Remove firstboot start files rm -f /etc/rc3.d/S99firstboot rm -f /etc/rc5.d/S99firstboot # Change weekly RAID re-syncs to montly mv -f /etc/cron.weekly/99-raid-check /etc/cron.monthly/99-raid-check cat /etc/sysconfig/somefile 'EOR_SOMEFILE_FIX' Change the contents of SOMEFILE to this text instead of the default.

Desktop Effects and CCSM
I'm trying to figure out how to get CCSM and the Compiz Gnome integration bits to play nice with the standard Fedora Desktop Effects setting. Everything works fine (all of my custom settings, emerald, etc) if I launch Compiz using the Fusion Icon applet. But just using Desktop Effects will successfully launch Compiz, but none of the custom settings work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a howto on this somewhere? -- People often say that motivation doesn't last.

Compiz started using desktop-effects uses gconf for it's settings,
whereas from the fusion-icon it will use a text-based settingsfile.
If you install compizconfig-backend-gconf you can select gconf as a
backend in the preferences for ccsm.

Problem during Fedora 14 install: usb4-2: USB disconnect, address NN loop
Hi dear Fedora users, while trying to install Fedora 14 from the x86-64 DVD on my desktop, the installation seems to hang early; just a look into terminal Ctrl-Alt-F4 shows that something is going on, and that is some kind of loop, displaying things like usb4-2: USB disconnect, address NN usb4-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address NN usb4-2: new USB device found, id Vendor=0764, id Product=0501 usb4-2: new USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, Serial Number=0 usb4-2: Product: DX600E usb4-2: Manufacturer: CPS generic-usb 0003:0764:0501:00XX: hidden 96, hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 device [CPS DX600E] on usb=:00:1a.1-2/input0 where NN is a number that increases steadily after timeouts of about 30 seconds or so and XX is the hex representation of NN+1. It seems that my UPS - some CyberPower product - is the culprit; I haven't had the time yet to see what happens if I try installing with the UPS disconnected. However, since the same UPS behaved fine a few months ago and there was no problem while installing Fedora 13, I think that I should report this somewhere; question is: where and whom...?

If applicable, please clean the disc and try again. If this test continues to fail you should not continue the install. and i can't to install. I suspect you downloaded it fine, but the burn was bad. This is the usual case, often remedied by two things: Buying better discs, and burning at a slower speed. Did you test the downloaded file, before you burnt it? That's part of what the checksum is for: (a) Verify that you've downloaded the same image file that Fedora project has built, and not someone's trojaned alternative version of it. And (b) Verify that what you've downloaded hasn't got corrupted when you downloaded and saved it. See: https://fedoraproject.org/en/verify On that page, the links for the different versions are the checksum files for those versions. i.e. The first i386 link is the checksum for checking the i386 install/rescue DVD. Then, as the page briefly details, with inadequate explanation, you check that the checksum is fine, then you check your downloaded install ISO file against the checksum. But it can also be that the install routine's disc test failed. For several years there's been an ongoing debate about how bad that test is, yet the default test never gets fixed up to something better. So, in summary: 1. Download your ISO (just try with what you've already got, first). 2. Check the ISO is okay. If not, re-download. 3. Burn on good discs, not at a gazillion times speed. 4. Boot the install, and take the disc test results with a pinch of salt. If you've never really had a problem with burning dud discs before, I wouldn't expect burning the install disc to be any different. If you have had quite a few bad discs, then I'd try and resolve that problem, properly, rather than cross your fingers and hope for the best. Cheap discs are cheap for a reason. Certain brands are better than others (I've only ever had one bad batch of Verbatim discs). I've seen some brands which people have believed, for unknown reasons (probably recommendations by unscrupulous shopkeepers), were a good brand, when they certainly are not (e.g. Laser brand). Certain brands are more compatible with some drives, than others. Certain types of discs are better with certain drives. e.g. DVD+R discs can, technically, be superior to DVD-R discs, but it's also going to depend on the drive. The same issues with /some/ discs applies for /some/ drives... There are crap drives. Drives do wear out, some quicker than others. Muck getting into the drive doesn't help (dust, smoke, aerosol sprays). Most of those cleaner discs which have a brush stuck onto them (that will whack into the lens as the disc spins around) will cause more problems than they cure. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Re: how to generate pi in c

}
Be sure to compile like this:
gcc -traditional-cpp pi_calc.c -o pi_calc.x
Then run like this:
./pi_calc.x
W/o the -traditional-cpp switch you will, instead, get an excellent
approximation to 1/4.
Excercise: Discover how the program works?
Once you do, you will know how to make it more accurate, so
that you can compute pi to _any_ finite precision you like.

Hello Ranjan,
I wrote about the pulseaudio taking 40% of cpu when nothing was playing.
The cause of this constant looping is a bug in the Adobe flash plugin.
Pulseaudio daemon listens on a socket FD for incoming audio.
Each client (such as the adobe flash plugin) is supposed to close
the socket after the media finishes playing. Well, the adobe flash plugin
does not close the socket, causing pulseaudio to be in a tight loop,
polling the socket and finding nothing to process.
In contradistinction to the Adobe plugin, run
/usr/bin/ffplay -autoexit somefile.mp3 (or any media file).
While the file is being played, you will notice pulseaudio
take a lot of the CPU. Once ffplay exits and closes the audio
socket, pulseaudio will consume a very negligible amount
of cpu, approaching 0%.
Cheers,
JD

Once ffplay exits and closes the audio socket, pulseaudio will consume a very negligible amount of cpu, approaching 0%. Interesting, but I do not have flash plugin installed. Ranjan So, you do not watch any videos via the browser? Because if you do, then you have to have some kind of flash plugin. Nope! Not on this (64-bit) machine.

Re: Black WinXP screen in qemu-kvm after f13-f14 upgrade on i686

Re: how to generate pi in c

But you're never quite sure, when someone refers to something like that, if they were taking him seriously. Now, I was the one referring to that site - I admit, with some irony in mind. Without any irony this time: I took my math degree 35 years ago, so my basics might be somewhat rusty, but they are fresh enough to know that such a treatise is not worth to be read on after the first page.

Unable to add ipod touch 3G to amarok
Hi All, I'm using fedora 13. I have an ipod touch 64 gb which works fine with rythmbox but i'm unable to sync the changes made. So i thought of using amarok. But while using amarok(1.4.10) i don't see media devices tab anywhere using which i can add my ipod to it. In many tutorials i see the screenshots having this tab in settings--configure amarok--media devices but unable to find in mine. Am i missing anything? Any help will be much appreciated. -- cheers Sumatheja Dasararaju -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
