systemd and shutdown
Hi, Does anybody have any ideas how I can diagnose why a system fails to shutdown?. It's running F16 but issuing a poweroff or reboot just causes it to hang during shutdown. I've no idea what's causing it because systemd does a whole bunch of things in parallel. Is there anywhere to produce a list of services that systemd shuts down and their order? I've enable various levels of debugging, but see nothing useful from systemd in the logs, not that it seems to log all that much anyway.

SMART: sectors waiting to be remapped, negative numbers and dual boot
Hi, I had a slightly worrying moment yesterday when the disc manager in F16 came up after booting and logging in and warned me that one of my drives wasn't healthy. It was installed in August so is outside the traditional early-failure window, which isn't to say it couldn't be on the verge of failing. Things that are odd though (via the disc management SMART view): 1. It reports 'electrical failure' as the SMART test status. 2. The parameter that is failing is 197C5 Current Pending Sector Count, which shows a large negative number. 3. On refreshing the SMART data both problems clear, current pending sector count goes to 0 + n/a and drive status is healthy. 4. Running a short self-test the drive still shows as healthy. 5. On a long self test this morning I got 'electrical failure' again at the end, however refreshing changed this to 'healthy'. Both times I've seen this (yesterday and today) are after re-booting from Windows XP, so I'm wondering if there's something about XP SMART management (or lack off?) that's leaving this parameter unset, or possibly SMART is reading a small positive value incorrectly before pending sectors have been cleared. Does anyone else have any idea what might be going on? Drive is obviously still in warranty, just want to know how concerned I need to be. -- imalone -- 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 Have a question?

Does anyone else have any idea what might be going on? Drive is obviously still in warranty, just want to know how concerned I need to be. It may be exactly that, an electrical failure of some sort that's intermittent. The current pending sector usually refers to sectors on the disk which are no longer readable but have not yet been remapped. A write to a bad sector causes the drive to remap it to a spare working sector. It doesn't make sense to me that it would be negative. Most drives have a bunch of spare, normally unused sectors for that purpose. Does smart report that the drive is in it's known database? If not, it could be a 'quirk' of that drive, but either way I'd make sure you keep a backup and if it's under warranty it maybe just as prudent to get it replaced. -- Ian Chapman. -- 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 Have a question?

Usb devices and kernel modules auto-loading
Hi list, I'm on Fedora 16 and trying to solve a problem with an usb device(a CP2103 based device) which doesn't get recognized by the system, even if the linux driver already supports it at 99%: the problem seems to be that CP210x based devices have vendor programmable device IDs and if the device is not being detected is likely because the device IDs are unknown (http://www.etheus.net/CP210x_Linux_Driver). Now it would seems that adding my device id(which is not present at the moment in the latest kernel module) could solve the problem, thus I've modified the source of the driver and I've successfully locally compiled it following http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/build-linux-kernel-module-against-installed- kernel-source-tree.html. I have issued a sudo modprobe CP210x to load the CP210x module, and it loads fine, but the dmesg output shows the kernel doesn't still recognize the device when I plug it. I guess my problem is the linux kernel while using an auto-loading (hot- plugging?) feature to auto-load usb modules, is still referring to the stock CP210x module included with the kernel source tree instead of mine and this prevent it to successfully recognize the device as supported. I've tried searching around for info about the auto-loading mechanism and how to pin inside it, but I've found an overwhelming amount of text which does not explain where (and how) the kernel search for its available drivers. Would somebody point me to the right direction and clear how the kernel manage usb modules auto-loading in latest fedora or add just some hint? thank you, Marco -- 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 Have a question?

Kinda apples and oranges though. Although at a basic level, fps is fps, with motion pictures you're seeing a flash of light of the whole frame which includes motion blur. On a CRT the fps is the rate the scan line updates the screen and there's no motion blur, which is why you need higher FPS to make motion seem smooth and fluid. I can see the scan line updating to about 75 Hz but it doesn't bother me too much. 60Hz makes me motion sick. As far as audio cables, I'm not too picky unless they're REALLY cheap.

Re: glxgear and glxinfo confusion
Once upon a time, Joe Zeff j...@zeff.us said: Motion Pictures are shown at 32 fps and nobody complains about flickering, Nope, 24 fps. Also, the technology is different; reflected light on a screen vs. direct view has different effects on the eye. In general, you can't see more than about 20-24 fps, so that's all that is really needed to capture motion and replay it. However, different display technologies cause other effects, so the display rate has to be higher to overcome the display-specific effects. but there are people who claim that anything less than 70 fps on their monitor flickers. With CRTs, it was definately visable, especially under fluorescent lights, but that was because a CRT didn't display the whole screen at once. It only drew a line at a time, and they didn't stay lit the whole frame cycle. On LCDs, that isn't the case. One reason video cards render at higher-than-refresh rates is to be able to do motion blur. -- Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- 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 Have a question?

[389-users] Problems with Database Import.
I’m attempting to port my ldap database from one machine to another, the machine I am attempting to port to is running a newer version of 389. The target machine is build 2011.308.2312. On the source machine I do an db2ldif - all looks good. I go to the target machine and start fedora-console, open the directory server and choose import database. The first couple of thousand entries/users seem to go well, but then by looking at both my ldif source file and the contents of my reject file after one particular user I get: Error adding object 'dn: uid=ctuser,ou=Users,dc=localdomain'. The error sent by the server was 'Cannot connect to the LDAP server'. Every new user after that fails to be added. The import appears to complete and slapd doesn’t stop.

They are not comparable. One is a scanning line display the other is a continuous output beam. There are two big reasons that matters 1. The display behaviour is quite different, on a CRT all but one scan line of pixels is fading to black, on a film this isn't the case 2. Because it is scanning you have two frequencies - the update frequency and the animation frequency. You therefore get beat frequencies and images changing mid scan - aka tearing. And if you want to know about the difference and whether it matters there is an astronomical amount of proper scientific peer reviewed literature on the subject.

This wasn't the point of my post. I understand perfectly well that glxgears is not a proper benchmark. It is not even supposed to be a benchmark, since it doesn't test all capabilities thoroughly enough. However, my assumption above is about the validity of the fps numbers, for whatever glxgears is *actually* *rendering* . Namely, if it reports 4000 fps, does that mean that the gears animation has been actually rendered 4000 times per second? Or not? If not, then the reported numbers are incorrect, and one should file a bug. If yes, then it is a major waste of resources, since the display can only show 60 out of those 4000 frames in one second. Either way, anything bigger than 60 fps in glxgears means that something somewhere is very wrong (either as a bug, or by design). That was my point.

Well, I don't have those printers If you run system-config-printer do you see any differences in the settings that may explain things? How about under Job Options, Orientation?

Tim: That's what I did ... brute force rather than clever and haven't had a single problem between F14 and F16 since. There's lots of past postings about any gotchas (the only ones I encountered were making sure only the dot files that you care about are copied into the new user's home and general cleanup with any wheel/sudo access).

I'm thinking of setting up a new CentOS user with ID 1000,
moving all my files to the new user,
removing my old user entry,
and finally changing the username of the new user back to me.
This may not be the right way to do it, but on each of my older servers and
workstations, I logged in as root and modified /etc/passwd and /etc/group for
all users (not that many) then ran something like find / -uid old_uid -exec
chown user_name {} + and something similar for group ID.
I had resisted doing that until I upgraded the third machine to Fedora 16. Now
it is done and I won't have to concern myself on subsequent Fedora 16+ installs.
What were they thinking?
