Ah yeah, got it

My Source Path shows the media title correctly.

I also tried to eject the DVD before turning on the VM - that results in
a similar error, "Error starting domain: internal error: child reported
(status=125): unable to open /dev/sr0: No medium found"

Already tried it, but just now tried the same thing, with same error
when trying to start the machine.

"Error starting domain: internal error: child reported (status=125):
unable to open /dev/sr0: Read-only file system"


My xml looks a bit different, though

Definitely not what I asked, I already have w10 installed just fine from an ISO

this??)
But seriously, I want to forward the optical drive to windows, I should be able

Can't boot VM with a passthrough DVD

[Konstantin Svist]

I've set up a win10 virtual machine in VMM QEMU/KVM and trying to pass
through a DVD.

The virtual disk setting in the VM suggests /dev/sr0, but whenever I
select that, the machine refuses to boot with the following error:


Error starting domain: internal error: child reported (status=125):

I've tried changing the disk bus (SATA/SCSI), and flipping "Shareable"
toggle, neither one helps.

Storage format is set to "raw" (text), not sure what else it should be..


Any help?

Re: Btrfs out of space - but plenty of space is available

[Konstantin Svist]

After I wrote the question here, I realized what that I didn't google
for the condition well enough
Long story short, turns out sometimes btrfs reserves the space but
doesn't use it -- in this case, a good 40+% of the drive :(
Anyway, after a "btrfs balance" I think it's actually resolved.

# btrfs fi us /
Overall:
    Device size:         476.94GiB
    Device allocated:         279.98GiB

(before the rebalance, "allocated" was also ~476GiB)

Btrfs out of space - but plenty of space is available

[Konstantin Svist]

Looks like I'm having a problem with my btrfs partition, it thinks it's out
of space.
Thing is, the drive is 500G and usage according to df and btrfs df is ~250G
I removed a couple of snapshots as a workaround but hit the problem again
pretty quickly..
I also ran fstrim & btrfs check --clear-space-cache (both v1 and v2) and
still no luck.

Is there some limitation on number of files? I'm not doing anything crazy
there, just haven't checked yet

What to do if Bumblebee is gone but PRIME doesn't support my config??

[Konstantin Svist]

I have dual cards in my laptop:
Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller 
[8086:0416]
NVIDIA Corporation GK104M [GeForce GTX 870M] [10de:1199] 

It seems like Bumblebee is not supported anymore [1] and PRIME is supposed to 
take care of switching the cards. But PRIME doesn't seem to support this 
combination (?)
Is there anything [reasonably simple] I can do? Or am I just SOL?

Core XFCE utils freezing up

[Konstantin Svist]

Hi,

Since last update I've been seeing freezing up behavior, mostly in the
xfce4-power-manager.

Specifically, this is the behavior I see when starting it up in command
line ($ xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug --dump):
https://pastebin.ca/3938185

I can interact with its UI directly just fine, no lag. When I use a
shortcut button for brightness the 1st step succeeds (brightness changed
slightly) but power manager freezes for N seconds. If I press the
shortcut several times, the rest of presses are queued up and will take
a long time to process.

This also affects sleep behavior -- when I close my laptop, it's
supposed to sleep if on battery and just lock screen if on power. It
always sleeps now.


I haven't updated in a few weeks, so it could be a bunch of things
causing this, not sure what...


Anyone else having these issues?

Re: Firefox and flash plugin

[Konstantin Svist]

I keep hitting this issue, too..
The problem happens when you dnf update flash-plugin while firefox is
running. Firefox writes its cache of plugin info, pluginreg.dat, on quit
-- but it uses the in-memory info to do that. In the case above, the old
version number is written to the cache file.

To fix the problem, remove your pluginreg.dat file from
~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE.DIR/  (PROFILE.DIR is different on each system)

Correction: looks like it was simply updated without overriding
anything; I forgot about a change I made that disabled synaptics (which
defaulted touchpad to libinput)
Still would like the new version to try out, though -- if I can get rid
of the really old driver, it's for the best

build xorg-x11-drv-libinput-0.19.1-1.fc24 ?

[Konstantin Svist]

Hi,

The touchpad driver handling has been switched over from synaptics to
libinput recently (libinput 1.5.0), but the libinput xorg driver is a
bit behind -- it doesn't provide an option to swap tap-to-click buttons.

There are test builds for fc25 and fc26 (see
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=18894), but
nothing for fc24...

Who can I ask to build this in Koji?

For reference, systemd shutdown debug setup:

https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/Debugging/#shutdowncompleteseventually

apparently lpf-notify is a piece of shit that prefers to ignore SIGQUIT
and SIGTERM

https://github.com/leamas/lpf/blob/master/scripts/lpf-notify#L180

Edited the installed file, shutdown works fine now

Nevermind that systemd doesn't make this easy...

Shutdown takes too long

[Konstantin Svist]

After upgrading the kernel to 4.4.x series, it takes my laptop a long
time to shut down without intervention.

Sometimes I see a status saying something like "wait job is running for
user ... (1m 30sec)"
But a lot of the time I just see the bootup log with "Starting Switch
Root..." being the last line

I noticed one way to shut down is to use sysrq shortcuts (R,E,I from
REISUB combo) -- obviously that's not a perfect solution..

That's exactly what it does, unless you explicitly specify which key to

Grub2 is displaying full 1920x1080 resoltuion -- but as soon as I run of
the kernel options, it switches to BIOS resolution (text mode) and runs
like that for a few seconds (non-quiet spits out a bunch of
init/kernel messages) -- and only later switches to a full graphics mode
again.
How do I make it stay in high resolution mode all the time??


What I've tried so far:
* checked that grub2 has set gfxmode=auto and set gfxpayload=keep
* tried booting without initrd entry -- in the past, that used to boot
kernel in current grub resolution and show a number of penguins. Now
it's just text..
* tried booting with and without plymouth (rhgb option in kernel line,
and yum-removed plymouth* with regenerating initramfs by dracut -f)


Some more info:
bumblebee and nvidia driver are installed to run the nvidia card --
everything works great in X
current kernel 4.1.5-100.fc21.x86_64

Not sure who to file a bug against -- grub2? kernel? etc?

WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) support?

[Konstantin Svist]

Hi,

I'm using Fedora 21 with XFCE desktop.
Is there a way to connect to WPS networks? NetworkManager doesn't show
an obvious option for it and the only option I see so far is this hack:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/120367/how-to-connect-to-wi-fi-ap-through-wps

Not very user-friendly interface for a user-friendly feature...


Thanks!

P.S. yes I know WPS is unsafe, I don't enable it on my router; this is
for connecting to guest networks when free WPS networks are available.

 So, then, the drive is DeD dead 



Sector 38254000is dead. Possibly some others, too...
You can continue secure erase (assuming the erase program can ignore the
error), but you're not guaranteed that the data will be wiped from dead
sectors.
It's very hard to retrieve data from those, but may be possible with
specialized equipment.

If you're wiping mostly for privacy and there are few dead sectors,
you're probably fine. If you have very sensitive data and/or many bad
sectors, you need to take extra measures to destroy the data.

Blueman on F20?

[Konstantin Svist]

I'm running F20 XFCE and the bluetooth app leaves a lot to be desired.
I've been using Blueman before upgrading and it was great. Currently I'm
using the KDE systray app (bluedevil?)

There's no obvious way to install blueman; yum just says it was
deprecated by bluez -- which is not true (it only is in the sense that
the older blueman version is not compatible with bluez5)

Does anyone know how to get blueman running (hopefully without having to
compile it)?

Thanks

Excluding devices from udev rules?

[Konstantin Svist]

I've been trying to set up rules suggested by powertop to be applied by
default.

Unfortunately, the wireless mouse receiver gets shut down randomly when
the usb powerdown rules are applied to it -- so I tried excluding it
from the udev rule:

ACTION==add, SUBSYSTEM==usb, ATTRS{idVendor}!=046d,
ATTRS{idProduct}!=c529, TEST==power/control,
ATTR{power/control}=auto
ACTION==add, SUBSYSTEM==usb, ATTRS{idVendor}!=046d,
ATTRS{idProduct}!=c529, TEST==power/autosuspend,
ATTR{power/autosuspend}=2

For some reason that doesn't work.. udevadm test ... clearly shows that
the rule matches. I've tried matching only by idProduct and still same
result...
is != just broken?

Lenovo laptop media keys

[Konstantin Svist]

Is there a way to fix keys that don't generate release event?

My Lenovo laptop has touch-sensitive media keys that apparently only
send press events (as seen by showkey) and don't send release
events. As a result, pressing VolumeUp once starts an infinite loop of
increasing volume.. causing all kinds of trouble.
Press even repeats if the button is held down, but release never works.

 I have a Lenovo x120e and I have no problems with f17 and media keys

 I just tried it and when I did a func-f2 for volumeup, the volume
 display popped up and with each key press, the bar went up. func-f1
 the volume went down.

 I have not checked with showkey

Yes, Fn+[..] keys work just fine. But my laptop has an extra set of keys
which are embedded in the body of the laptop (i.e. not keyboard keys) --
and those are the ones that are giving me trouble

 the copy (depending on if you overwrite or replace).

 Without the correct group on the hostkey files, every attempt
 at an ssh connection of any kind results in a connection
 closed error and much confusion :-).

HD will come. If you like sports you might hit on your local station to

We had a sports-only HD channel, that eventually caved in and stopped
being sports-only.  Sports would be a good example for a need for HD,
with all that text on the screen, and a tiny ball in a field of players.
Unfortunately, most large screen TVs are LCD, and they're crap at fast
motion (as a camera pans across the field, the screen is really blurry -
some of that's the MPEG compression, a lot of that is technology of an
LCD screen).

Digital TV has been the decimation of our television stations. It cost
an outrageous fortune to replace the transmitter, and all the production
equipment, and our local stations have become little more than a relay
of Sydney television, just with local adverts and a tabloid excuse for a
news service.  Two of them have left their studios to shift to mere
office space.  Having to change to HD, just a few years later, is
another expense that the stations don't want.  Analogue equipment might
last twenty years, and not need endless fiddling.  Digital equipment
needs replacing every few years, and has required daily management by
engineering.

If you want to make a disaster, digitise/computerise it.




I can sympathize with this, I am not one of those people who are

connections, because to me they're more reliable than wireless. I 
don't know that keeping TV technology in an analog state is better or 
worse, since to me TVis just TV. I can SEE differences when you

HD RADIO?.as I've heard some stations proclaiming?...I

dunno.just seems like a lot fo things are more for Show  Tell

HD Radio stands for Hybrid Digital, not High Definition. The tuner 
simply uses digital signal whenever it can to reproduce audio without 
losses in quality. Unlike analog radio, though, when signal is too low, 
you don't get anything at all. The best use case is probably in a moving 
car -- driving through a dead spot becomes unnoticeable (vs. hissing 
noise of analog radio)

No, of course I didn't expect it to be open source :-) My point is
simply that even if this is the official way to get it from Valve, you
have no downstream rights and can't include it in a remix, or give it to
someone else.

upnp can be used for serving media and for controlling various

I'd like to make a hard drive containing various media files available 
to various devices around my house.


The various devices include 2 Samsung TVs, an iPhone, an N900 phone, 
an Asus Infinity Android tablet, a couple Windows laptops and a few 
Linux laptops and PCs.


I'd like the files to be served from a Linux (Fedora 17) server.

Right now I am trying to share the media drive using uShare or XBMC.  
I get the same results with both.


On the Android tablet I can see the shared folders using the Bubble 
UPNP  player, but they appear empty.   On a Fedora laptop I can mount 
the server using djmount and can see the folders as well, but they 
appear empty as well.  If I attempt to ls the folders, I get an 
endpoint disconnected error.


Upnp-Inspector displays the server as a valid UPNP server running both 
server packages.


I have the firewalls disabled on all devices, except the Android tablet.

Several forum posts indicate that one must add a route to the server's 
iptables to allow UPNP multicasting as follows.


route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0

How do I add this to my system when using system-config-firewall and 
system-config-network with devices managed by NetworkManager ?


I'm mostly using Rygel to serve media to a bunch of devices that 
support it (XBMC, PS3, networked Samsung bluray player etc.)
If that's similar to what you're trying to do, I can get you more 
specifics
Please do.   I was going to try minidlna next, but it doesn't seem 
like the UPNP server software is the problem.


FYI, I am very disappointed to find that KDE as shipped in Fedora 
doesn't directly support UPNP sharing and that none of the popular 
Linux media players (VLC, Totem, Amarok, etc) have UPNP support built 
into them via plug ins from a Fedora repository.  It takes much 
mucking around to add UPNP functionality to these applications.


Thanks



The biggest problem with upnp on linux is the simple fact that it's a 
protocol that dynamically allocates ports, similar to FTP... but does it 
in a really annoying way. The initial connection is UDP/multicast to the 
entire network by the client, then each server sends the client a packet 
UDP/unicast with description of how to get to the server (usually 
TCP/unicast).
Server-side problem: if the server picks a random port, both client and 
server firewalls won't know how to open that port (or, rather, when/why 
it should be opened).


I've used Fuppes and Rygel - both allow me to specify a port instead of 
allocating one on the fly. For rygel, setting is port=... in 
~/.config/rygel.conf (or /etc/rygel.conf for system-wide config - this 
makes less sense, since rygel is meant to be run by each user in 
parallel to share their own media... but who cares :).



To automagically join eth0 interface to the multicast network 239.0.0.0 
on startup, add a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 with 
this contents:

GATEWAY0=0.0.0.0
NETMASK0=255.0.0.0
ADDRESS0=239.0.0.0

Here are my server-side firewall rules (I use port 1085 to serve upnp, 
and 192.168.0.0/24 is my LAN; I'm being a bit paranoid about where I 
receive upnp requests from)


-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 
239.255.255.250 --dport 1900 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 1085 -j ACCEPT


This is reasonably secure, assuming your server always stays within your 
network (i.e. it's not a laptop that roams different networks).


Devices that come bundled with upnp support (PS3, N900, TVs, etc.) 
should just work at this point (they work fine for me).




On the linux client side, there's no good firewall config (as far as I 
can tell). Initial client request uses multicast network 239.0.0.0 and 
port 1900, but servers respond to it using port 1900 on the LAN network 
-- the packet is sent directly to the client instead of being multicast. 
Stateful inspection on the client firewall doesn't help us here, because 
the target (broadcast address) and source (server address) are 
technically different.
The workaround (assuming your client won't leave your network and your 
network is reasonably secure!*) is to hardcode your upnp server's 
response packet paths. Off the top of my head:


-A INPUT -m udp -p udp -s 192.168.0.123 --sport 1900 -j ACCEPT

(assuming server has IP 192.168.0.123)

* This is potentially dangerous, especially on any machine that 
sometimes connects to other networks (read: laptops!).


The upnp client app (VLC, XBMC, etc.) will pick a random local port, so 
destination port can't be fixed ahead of time; and as already mentioned, 
the target of request and source of response are technically different, 
so firewall doesn't recognize the state

Your post of was very helpful.


Glad to hear :)


Do you know a way to input the multicast route using 
system-config-firewall ?  I can do it manually, its just that would be 
the only manual firewall setting I'd have and then I'd forget I had it.


No, sorry, I always configure the firewall with vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables


Isn't there a way to tell a firewall to allow dynamic port allocation 
? I believe my Cisco E4200 wireless router has this option.  Is there 
a section of ports that is allowed for just this sort of thing ?


In theory, sure -- but I haven't seen any working examples/configs when 
I last researched it. I had considered extending/copying the iptables' 
FTP plugin to work for upnp, but gave up since my workaround works for me.
Like I said, since you can dedicate a special port on the server for the 
upnp server, it's reasonably secure - only that port is open. It's the 
client that's the problem :(



I'll take another stab at getting it going later tonight.

I know exactly what bug you're talking about, I noticed it appeared a

The bug also has a workaround -- if you can use your mouse to click a

It is hard to know where to start with the problems with the use of the

Magic SysReg features to work you have tp add the Ctrl button. So to

workstation Keyboard this is nearly impossible to do because of the
position of the SysReg key in the upper right corner of the keyboard.
On my laptop where I can hit the keys the function fails to work.
Without the Ctrl all you get is screen shots which I do get.

With the alternate approach  of:
echo key  /proc/sysreq-trigger the reboot works but I can't detect
anything else working.

So how does one use these magic keys ?


You have to enable the sysrq key in /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.sysrq = 1

In non-graphical mode it's just Alt+SysRq (not Ctrl, and not Alt+Ctrl), 
but the GUI can choose to ignore the combination - there used to be some 
X keyboard setting you could set globally, but it doesn't work anymore. 
I think there's some workaround for gnome, but I never did figure out 
how to make it work right in XFCE.


Lastly, on the laptop the SysRq key might only be usable with Fn 
modifier (Ctrl+Alt+Fn+SysRq+...), though Alt+PrintScreen has worked for 
me on all laptops I've tried (in text mode)

My wifi card is the Atheros AR5008 which is an 802.11n card.

How could the bit rate be restricted to 18Mb/s??
Is this a problem with the ath9k driver or the wext driver?
PS: I did not have the issue until installing FC16. This
problem was absent in FC14.



I thought wifi adjusts the data rate on the fly based on how strong the 
signal is. Try moving the laptop closer to the router, at least just to 
see if the rate goes up...

No difference!!
Stuck at 18mb/s

By the way: I changed wifi interface on my machine to an rtl8187
and still iwconfig reports  18mb/s, with full signal quality at 70/70 !!!

# iwconfig wlan1

Hm, you're right - the quality is out of 70 and the rate is really low.. 
here's mine:

Maybe it's because I'm also connected over ethernet, so wifi is not 
being used, so it's in powersaving mode of some kind..?
See if your rate goes up/down if you're actively transferring a bunch of 
data.

Simply, you can't suspend the device which contains the cryptsetup
binary.


That's silly. Grub loads initramfs from an unencrypted /boot partition; 
initramfs knows about encryption and is able to mount root after I enter 
my key. There should be no technical reason why it can't mount the swap 
with the same key immediately after and tell kernel to resume from the 
now-available swap.

I see now - what you said applies to luksSuspend/luksResume. I'm 
guessing it should probably reside on /boot or inside initramfs for that 
reason...
From what I can tell, these commands work for an encrypted separate 
partition, e.g. /home, probably not so much for the whole disk. And/or 
they should generally be called by other tools, abstracted from the user.

if they are rudely terminated (e.g. SIGSEGV or SIGKILL).

Are you sure?  I've been running MySQL for a long time, and I don't
remember it ever using SysV IPC.  I certainly don't see it using that
now, even on an old version I still have running (much older than the
OP's F14).

To the OP: if you think you are seeing RAM in use that isn't reflected
when comparing the output of free to ps/top process usage, it
could be in other kernel buffers.  Check out slabtop (has to run as
root); there are other kernel caches that free doesn't know about,
especially the dentry and inode caches.  These will show up as just more
kernel RAM in use, but really they are caches that should be discarded
as needed (just like the old buffers/cache lines in free).

Memory loss after long uptime

[Konstantin Svist]

Hi all,

I have a strange recurring problem on some of my servers, maybe someone 
can help me figure out what might be causing it.


After running a MySQL machine with fairly high load for a while 
(~month), RAM usage in top stops making sense. Normally, RES column 
accounts for everything currently present in RAM (not swap) and 
corresponds pretty well with mem_used-buffers-cache. This is always the 
case after a fresh boot and seems to be the case on most other servers.

But that's not the case here:

59098540k used - 1633832k cached - 25824k buffers = 57438884 (54.7G) 
supposedly used by all processes

sum(RES column from top) ~= 35127296k (33.5G)

So where's the other 21G??

I'm pretty sure I'm not nitpicking here, this is 30% of total system 
RAM unaccounted for. I've tried stopping all non-OS specific processes 
(and restarting some services that seemed to eat more RAM that they 
should have (irqbalance)) -- and memory is not reclaimed.


Over the few years that I've seen this problem, I've already replaced 
all the hardware and upgraded Fedora from 8 to 14 (currently running 
2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64) and MySQL and other code without any sign of 
improvement.


Interestingly, another machine with same hardware  OS runs MySQL in 
slave mode to replicate the DB -- that machine has uptime of 134 days 
and does not exhibit the same symptoms. In fact, here is its mem footprint:


63166496k used - 19786032k cached - 2881484k buffers = 40498980k (38.6G)
sum(RES column from top) ~= 45.5G (which makes sense since a few 
RAM-hungry processes share memory)


Please help!

63166496k used - 19786032k cached - 2881484k buffers = 40498980k (38.6G)
sum(RES column from top) ~= 45.5G (which makes sense since a few
RAM-hungry processes share memory)


We've seen this before in some of our MySQL platforms. It appears that
some of the older MySQL servers hemorrhage shared memory segments which
will not be reclaimed when the process is terminated.

You might try having a look at the output of ipcs after stopping MySQL
and see if your missing memory is in one or more of the shm segments.
If so, you can reclaim it by using ipcrm -m shmid. You'd be
surprised at how many programs don't release IPC resources--especially
if they are rudely terminated (e.g. SIGSEGV or SIGKILL).

Also have a serious look at updating your MySQL platform if possible.

Thanks Rick,

I tried ipcs on a few machines with same symptoms, but it doesn't look 
like there's a lot of shared memory mentioned there.
The MySQL machine had already been rebooted, so I'll keep checking it... 
but doesn't look promising so far.

You can boot without initrd if you have standard hardware, but there are 
some outstanding issues which never seem to get solved - the biggest one 
for me is inability to automatically regenerate grub.cfg when new kernel 
is installed.

But other than that, it works just fine

Examine your keyboard. Look for an icon on some key that looks like a

key that's typically labeled Fn. That's your hint. There may be more 
than one key, to cut over your video completely, to the external port, 
or to have it go both to the laptop and to the external video.




Pressing Fn+[CRT/LCD] button does nothing, either.

This is done in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config, or by the

If the helper is already loaded then I'm not sure what else is wrong. 
You might ask on the Samba list.

Can't browse Windows Network in Thunar

[Konstantin Svist]

I'm using XFCE spin with Thunar as the file manager. I've installed 
gvfs-smb and opened the firewall to allow samba client connections. 
Thunar now has a Windows Network item in Network section -- but 
whenever I try to open it, I get this error message:


Failed to open Windows Network.
Failed to retrieve share list from server.

Everything works fine if I access server name directly as smb://myserver 
- I can browse/modify files - but getting a list of servers is broken.


Is there a trick to getting this to run?

Thanks

The symptom is not being able to select the correct audio output device.

Pulse will kvetch about running from root (I DID say that it is messy).

Gnome-control-center: The proper card is selected.

KDE system settings: The device list is replaced with Pulseaudio Sound

Given that I have a rather recent laptop (i5 w/Intel sound) I

How to debug sleep problem?

[Konstantin Svist]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem getting a machine to sleep when I set an IR 
receiver to allow to wake it.


# for x in USB0 USB2 US12 US15; do echo $x  /proc/acpi/wakeup
# echo enabled  /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-1/power/wakeup

When I make it sleep, all I get is black VT screen with a blinking 
cursor. If I don't do either of the above commands, sleep works just 
fine. I've already enable wake-from-USB in BIOS.


I've tried doing the same thing on my laptop and everything is working - 
both sleep and wake from IR dongle.


So, how do I go about debugging this problem?

Re: Fedora 15 x64 stunning performance (vs Win7).

Hardware platform: Dell Studio XPS, Core i7 950, 8Mb L3 Cache.
Operating systems: Fedora 15 x64 / Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

Hi everybody,

I have developed a sorting/searching library written in assembly
language. As long as one stays in the L1 Cache (in place physical sorts)
speeds are identical, but when the proportion of L1 cache misses
is hign (sorts by reference which return an ordering vector as APL
sorts do) Fedora dramatically outperforms Win7.
This performance gap is stunning but consistent and I am not overdoing
it. Something weird occurs when one leaves the L1 cache. As one remains
in the L3 cache (my Core i7 950 has a 8Mb cache) the performance penalty
is about 33%, with mixed L3 cache/main memory accesses it grows to
50%/60% ! I wish some x64 Linux kernel developer could enlighten me. The
assembly code is exactly the same in both cases(except or course for
calls to APIs being replaced with Linux system calls), JWASM assembler
being used. No disk swapping, large/huge pages, or virtual machine
involved and my test program is a plain application run from the command
line.

Any thoughts?

You would probably have much better luck posting this question to LKML -

The first thing I tried was glew.  I only have the fc16 version of

version, but I thought I'd see what others think.  Opinions?


I've gotten burned while removing duplicates in the past.
The safest way that I came up with is to simply run yum reinstall 
package for each package that has duplicates. This will make sure 
that none of the newer package's files get removed, while the old one is 
cleaned up properly. It also installs all necessary dependencies, so you 
don't need to worry about that.

The safest way that I came up with is to simply run yum reinstall
package for each package that has duplicates. This will make sure
that none of the newer package's files get removed, while the old one is
cleaned up properly. It also installs all necessary dependencies, so you
don't need to worry about that.


Right now, I'm running package-cleanup --problems and checking to see 
if the top item on the list is a dupe.  So far, each one is and I nuke 
the fc14 version.  Lather, rise, repeat.  One odd thing, though: it 
keeps listing the fc14 version of rss-glx-xscreensaver as a problem, 
even after I've nuked it.  And, I never use -y so that I can examine 
what's going to be removed Just In Case...


In my case it wasn't about the wrong version being removed, it was a 
matter of removing a file that belonged to both versions at the same 
time (the reason why I had dupes was because an update/upgrade didn't 
finish, so old versions weren't cleaned up). Normally yum/rpm won't let 
you install a package that owns a file that's already owned...

package-cleanup --cleandupes will normally work pretty well. There can be
some problems if there were packages not updated as part of a broken
transaction. You want to keep track of what was removed so you can put stuff
back if need be.

If you notice right away when a transaction goes bad, you want to run
yum-complete-transaction, as that will finish adding packages for the
transaction before it starts removing stuff. If too much stuff has
changed before you try this you may not be able to just finish the
transaction.



yum-complete-transaction is what got me into the biggest problem that time. I'm 
not chancing it again :)

Worst part is that nobody even bothers to answer/triage the bugs we filed

Anybody using lxdm or slim with xfce?

[Konstantin Svist]

I tried switching the default login manager (gdm) to lxdm, but it just 
crashes after I enter my password.

lxdm writes a bunch of errors into /var/log/lxdm.log:

** Message: find greeter (nil)

** Message: find idle (nil)

xauth:  file /var/run/lxdm/lxdm-:0.auth does not exist
** Message: add xserver watch

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyuse: X [:display] [option]
help for command line options


I've also tried SLiM - it lets me in, but a bunch of things don't work 
in the xfce shell -- volume control is busted, NetworkManager seems to 
randomly forget the wifi passwords, and so on.
