Running with vm.overcommit_memory=2
by Ralf Ertzinger
Hi.
After having firefox killed by the OOM-killer due to a totem running wild
(and watching the killer churn the disks for 5 minutes to do so, what the heck
is it doing?), I ventured to try a hard overcommit limit (which setting
vm.overcommit_memory=2 does, to the best of my knowledge). The system in
question has 640MB RAM, no swap.
The result is that almost nothing works, even with plenty of memory free.
It's even impossible to get a simple man page to display:
[sun@nausicaa ~/src/gmemusage-0.2 :) 23]$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 645152 366636 278516 0 16900 106340
-/+ buffers/cache: 243396 401756
Swap: 0 0 0
[sun@nausicaa ~/src/gmemusage-0.2 :) 24]$ man sysctl
sh: fork: Cannot allocate memory
sh: fork: Cannot allocate memory
Error executing formatting or display command.

No manual entry for sysctl
The system has nearly 400MB of free memory. What does it take to display
some lines of text these days?

s390 install images
by Geoff O'Callaghan
Hi all,
So where can I find the Fedora installer img files... eg.
[ ] hdstg2.img 17-Mar-2005 05:18 15M
[ ] netstg2.img 17-Mar-2005 05:18 15M
[ ] stage2.img
That would normally live in
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/390/F...
yes, i know s390(x) aren't official fedora platforms, but I'm happy to
have a fiddle and report bugs :-)
After hunting I found them on one of the rawhide mirrors, namely
http://www.opensourcemirrors.org/linux/fedora/core/development/s390/Fedor...
but they seem to have problems...
ie.
* transferring www.opensourcemirrors.org/l
inux/fedora/core/development/s390/Fedora/base/stage2.img to a fd
* copied 59473920 bytes to /tmp/ramfs/stage2.img (complete)
* mntloop loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /tmp/ramfs/stage2.img fd is 20
* got url ftp://www.opensourcemirrors.org/linux/fedora/core/development/s390
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop0.
and anaconda promptly falls over with...
Welcome to the Red Hat Linux install environment 1.1 for S/390
login: root
Welcome to the Red Hat Linux install environment 1.1 for S/390
Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 358, in ?
from exception import handleException
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 24, in ?
import rpm
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py", line 7, in ?
from _rpm import *
ImportError: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
So, my questions are :
Where are the real installer .img files for s/390 and where are the
mirrors getting their copies from because I can't find the 'original'
file on download.fedora.redhat.com

RE: FUDCON 1
by Hornain Frederic
Hello,
Completly agree with Paul!!!
Why do not we have a Fedora event in Europe ?... and why not ? One for each continent?
Cause developpers are all around the world, are they ???

Subject: FUDCON 1
Hi,
Any chance that us in Europe can have a FUDCon? I know the US is big,
but there are lots of people over this side who can't get to the US, but
could get to somewhere in Europe easier (such as London).
It's annoyed me that both Novell and Fedora have done this now,
especially as a large number of contributors to Novell products are UK
and Europe based!

Old kernel RPMS
by Ivan Gyurdiev
My nvidia driver crashes again - no logs, no error messages, no info of
any kind. Only happens when running OpenGL games after several minutes
of gameplay - screen goes to gray diagonal lines, and the system's
completely frozen. Happens with 6629, and 7167 -
suspects are kernel and gcc4 compiler (since I remember 6629 used to
work at some point). This is going to be extremely unpleasant to debug.
So, I'd like to try old kernel rpm's.
Where can I find any? I don't have any kernels installed older than
1170.

RE: packages list
by Jack Tanner
The list of files in rpms is one of the handiest services available from
rhn.redhat.com. I'll die and go to heaven if the dependency info's there
too.
The basic reason is that it makes it trivial to look up things without
logging into your PC, or if your PC is down, or if you're not running
that particular version of Fedora, etc.
You could search across the files of all packages, just for the price of
getting indexed by Google. It'd be nice if the complete file attributes
were there, including permissions, size and modification time. Imagine
if there were a checksum there, too: "Hm, my system might be 0wned. I
wonder what the authoritative metadata is for these files." Imagine if
you could compare how the list of files in an rpm changed during the
rpm's history...
At the risk of sounding like a a tard Barlow, this is a case of
"information wants to be free." You have no idea what kind of uses
people might have for this information. A web interface to it would be
really great. Otherwise, rpmdb turns into "the deep web."

Looking for some Python dbus/hal help
by Jesse Keating
I need to plug into hal through dbus in python a bit. So I'm looking
for some good documentation that covers dbus and hal, specifically ways
to find hal entries for kernels and devices and such.
I've 'borrowed' some code from system-config-packages, namely:
# get the devices from HAL
bus = dbus.Bus (dbus.Bus.TYPE_SYSTEM)
hal_service = bus.get_service ('org.freedesktop.Hal')
hal_manager = hal_service.get_object
('/org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager', 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager')
volume = hal_manager.FindDeviceStringMatch('volume.label', label)[0]
# Look for our disk label, return first one
props = hal_service.get_object(volume,
"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device").GetAllProperties() # Get all the
properties of the volume
mount = props['volume.mount_point'] # Get the mount point and return
it...
But I'm looking for alternatives to the 'FindDeviceStringMatch' and it's
friends. Can anybody help out as I pour through the sources to these
modules?

ethereal rpm tweaks
by Curtis Doty
I just noticed that the Fedora ethereal rpm requests net-snmp support but
it is never actually turned on. If this is a bug, the solution is to
explicitly enable the ssl crypto library; then net-snmp support will
compile in too.
Also, I've found the concurrent dns feature quite handy and have had
success compiling against Dag's adns rpm. I've not bothered to try the one
in extras.
Current:
Compiled with GLib 2.4.8, with libpcap 0.8.3, with libz 1.2.1.2,
without libpcre, without UCD-SNMP or Net-SNMP, without ADNS.
Proposed:
Compiled with GLib 2.4.8, with libpcap 0.8.3, with libz 1.2.1.2,
without libpcre, with Net-SNMP 5.1.2, with ADNS.
Linked is an example diff which also includes a few missing build deps.

Yes you are right. I try the old 2.6.9-1.667 kernel instead of the
actual 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 one and my tv tuner works fine.
So it would be a kernel module problem and if i can't ask this kind of
questions on the devel list i don't where i can ...
Thanks
