upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken; and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what exactly needs to be fixed. Consider something like this: LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS" AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no)) Here's what happens on x86_64: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5 /tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main': /home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to `res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:5147: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: [ blah blah blah ] | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char res_query (); | int | main () | { | res_query (); | ; | return 0; | } The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work. The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64 in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype. So, what now?

dbus-qt
by Frederick Alexander Thomssen 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

hi, once dbus-qt was removed from fedora because there was no use for it. but now kde 3.4 supports dbus-qt for the media:/ protocol which indicated if a new device was connected. so there now is a use for dbus-qt so i think it ought to be included. freddy -- Frederick Alexander Thomssen

Firstboot: Module to add other OS partitions' entry to fstab
by Prasad H.L. 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Hi, I'm using Fedora Core 3. I've developed a firstboot python module which can detect other OS(currently only windows) partitions and add entries to the fstab. It also creates a user group which has access to those partitions. The version of firstboot is 1.3.33-2. I would like to know whether the firstboot developers are interested in seeing and using it in future releases of Fedora. If so, I'll send the module as an E-mail attachment.

Is there any reason why the alsa-oss package isn't part of fedora? This is quite useful if you want to use the dmix alsa mixer and get oss apps to mix their output too. I've managed to hack together an updated version of the alsa-oss spec file (from livna) which appears to work.

CVS branching is done
by Elliot Lee 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

I've created FC-4 branches for all the Fedora Extras packages, and for all the packages included in Fedora Core 4. For distro CVS, the devel branch is targetting FC5 now and the FC-4 branch needs to be used for all FC4 updates. For extras CVS, the devel branch is for packages on top of rawhide (FC5-to-be), and the FC-4 branch needs to be used for the FE4 release/updates. Best, -- Elliot

FC4 Display GUI tool does not have 1920x1200 as selectable resolution
by Jerone Young 31 May '05

31 May '05

I just got a Samsung 243T with Nvidia Geforce 6600GT (this connection is over DVI). When setting up FC4 , the highest resolution I can choose is 1680x1050. One thing FC4 is doing is that it is using the "vesa" driver by default for my card instead of the "nv" driver. But even once I do select the nv driver in the GUI I still don't see 1920x1200 as a selectable resolution. Going into xorg.conf and puting 1920x1200 as a resolution solves the problem & I X works in 1920x1200. "lscpi -nv" outputf for my video card: 01:00.0 Class 0300: 10de:00f1 (rev a2) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5 Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at f9000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0

FC4 Gnome Large Mouse Curser only has effect on first login
by Jerone Young 31 May '05

31 May '05

Choosing under Preferences->Mouse:Cursors you can choose to make your mouse cursor Small , Medium, or Large. Well it seems this only affects the first person who logs in. Once that person logs out, the next person to login or the same person who just logged in will nolonger have a large (or Medium) mouse cursor, it will stay the same small size untill you move the mouse over a application window (ex. firefox), but once you have the mouse back on the desktop it becomes very small. If you use high resolution monitors or have disabilities this can be a real pain.

Making FC-4 branches in CVS (Core & Extras)
by Elliot Lee 31 May '05

31 May '05

Just a heads-up that the branching of Fedora Core and Fedora Extras CVS repos is imminent. This means that the devel branch will start to be used for Fedora Core 5 & Fedora Extras for FC5, while the FC-4 branch will be the place to make updates targetted at FC4. This branching should happen sometime today, depending on the builds that are going on and how the FC4 release shapes up. -- Elliot

Re: Fedora 3 kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and nfsroot problem for PXE/diskless (CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y)
by Nico Bdav 30 May '05

30 May '05

This work with a kernel from kernel.org (linux-2.6.11.10.tar.bz2) and exactly the same options set! I think Redhat/Fedora kernel patches corrupt the Network booting options. ------------------------------------------------------------------- hi all, im trying to setup a diskless environnement with Fedora. I use etherboot (as a bootable CDROM) to load linux kernel via PXE. I have a dhcp, nfs and a tftp server working properly. I have rebuild a 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 fedora kernel because latest 2.6.11 kernel series can't be build on my FC3. I have rebuild a kernel (as an rpm, or via make bzImage), with the NFSROOT option, to allow / mounting via NFS pxelinux.0 boot normaly, load the kernel and the initrd, but when the kernel try to moun the / partition, i obtain a kernel panic message: VFS: Cannont open root device "nfs" or unknow-block(0,255) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknow-block(0,255) After that, i have tried many other options in the linux kernel (using devfs instead udev, yes i know it's obsolete :)), and some other tips i found but no one worked. Note that on the NFS Server i don't see any packet using the NFS protocol. Is there some special configuration with Fedora kernels and nfsroot option ?

I also got a kernel panic when ata_piix was a module and I removed ahci.ko from modules. sean

alsa 1.0.9 out: epoch issue with FC4 test and rawhide
by Axel Thimm 28 May '05

28 May '05

Hi, alsa 1.0.9 is out. Any chance this will make it into FC4? Probably not, but could be one of the earliest updates. alsa 1.0.9rcX has been packaged in such a way that it will be newer than 1.0.9 unless an epoch bump is issued. It has been discussed in the past that rawhide/test release do not give any upgrade path guarantees for various reasons (among other to be able to downgrade a bunch of packages like kde w/o having an epoch inflation). Should alsa be epochized (poor alsa), or the upgrade paths from rawhide FC4tX broken? Personally I think epochs are really evil, and setups with test releases need to be reinstalled anyway. bugzilla is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158859 -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

What happened to the it821x IDE/PCI Raid driver?
by G.Wolfe Woodbury 27 May '05

27 May '05

In the 2.6.10 series of kernels, Alan Cox' IT821x PCI/IDE-RAID driver was included in the kernel as a module. In 2.6.11 kernels, the module disappeared and the device is not recognized by the kernel. Researching some via Google and various kernel sites implied that the driver was rendered irrelevant by some changes to the main IDE driver, but the failure to be recognized seems to indicate that something has actually happened. I realize Alan is going on sabattical, but has anyone picked up the it821x driver? Or is there some magic kernal parameter incantation that will let FC3 and upward use this popular card? Thanks for the attention. -- G.Wolfe Woodbury `- -' RHCT U The Line Eater is a boojum!

Physical location of Posix message queues
by William Beebe 27 May '05

27 May '05

I'm porting an application from Solaris to Fedora Core. Everything is fine except for one issue regarding the use of Posix message queues. In order to solve this problem I'd like to know where the message queues are physically located. Where on Fedora Core (or Linux for that matter) are the message queues located? I've tried just looking on the file system and I've tried looking in the code for a Clue (both the kernel and glibc). If someone could just tell me, or if there are pointers to other documentation explaining some of the finer details of Posix message queue implementation on Linux I'd appreciate it.

PPC boot.iso broken today?
by Matthias Saou 27 May '05

27 May '05

Hi, I just started a network install of FC Devel on a PowerMac, and it all went amazingly good, but I got missing packages because the mirror I was using had been updating while I went through the installer... so I had to grab the newer boot.iso, re-burn it to the same CD-RW, but now it stops after 3 "agpgart:" and 1 "Serial:" lines very early at boot time :-( I'll try downloading the latest FC test disc1 and install from there...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, My locally built mozilla-*1.7.7-1.3.1.i386.rpm suite seems to not contain libgtkembedmoz.so. Is that to be expected? Has it been deprecated?

Fedora 3 kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and nfsroot problem for PXE/diskless (CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y)
by Nico Bdav 27 May '05

27 May '05

hi all, im trying to setup a diskless environnement with Fedora. I use etherboot (as a bootable CDROM) to load linux kernel via PXE. I have a dhcp, nfs and a tftp server working properly. I have rebuild a 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 fedora kernel because latest 2.6.11 kernel series can't be build on my FC3. I have rebuild a kernel (as an rpm, or via make bzImage), with the NFSROOT option, to allow / mounting via NFS pxelinux.0 boot normaly, load the kernel and the initrd, but when the kernel try to moun the / partition, i obtain a kernel panic message: VFS: Cannont open root device "nfs" or unknow-block(0,255) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknow-block(0,255) After that, i have tried many other options in the linux kernel (using devfs instead udev, yes i know it's obsolete :)), and some other tips i found but no one worked. Note that on the NFS Server i don't see any packet using the NFS protocol. Is there some special configuration with Fedora kernels and nfsroot option ? Thanks for your suggest ¤ Here is my pxelinux.cfg/default file : kernel FC3_PXE/vmlinuz APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 root=/dev/ram0 nfsroot=192.168.1.14:/DOC/PXE/root or APPEND initrd=FC3_PXE/initrd.img ramdisk_size=10000 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.14:/DOC/PXE/root ¤ Here is the main kernel option needed (if i don't miss one!) and that i have in my kernel: grep -i "IP_PNP\|NFS\|RAMFS" /DOC/PXE/root/boot/config-2.6.10-1.770_FC3nscheibl.20050525 CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="" CONFIG_IP_PNP=y CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP=y CONFIG_IP_PNP_RARP=y CONFIG_RAMFS=y CONFIG_CRAMFS=m CONFIG_NFS_FS=y CONFIG_NFS_V3=y CONFIG_NFS_V4=y CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO=y CONFIG_NFSD=m CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y CONFIG_NFSD_V4=y CONFIG_NFSD_TCP=y CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y CONFIG_NCPFS_NFS_NS=y ¤ Here is the config of the diskless client in my dhcp server (/etc/dhcpd.conf): group { next-server 192.168.1.14; filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0"; option root-path "192.168.1.14:/DOC/PXE/root,v3,tcp,hard"; host PXED { hardware ethernet 00:48:54:XX:YY:ZZ ; fixed-address 192.168.1.133; } } ¤ And here is my nfsd config (/etc/exports): /DOC/PXE/root *(ro,no_root_squash,sync) /DOC/PXE/snapshot *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)

specfile, request for comments
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hi, Attached you will find a specfile about the ocaml-cryptokit package. I'm not very clever on specfile :-), so may be you would have some comments... It was initially from PLD http://ftp.nest.pld-linux.org/test/SRPMS/ocaml-cryptokit-1.2-1.src.rpm My doubts are about: - the calling of "make" ( the CFLAGS...) - the %{_docdir} was %{_examplesdir} but I had to change it because it seems not to begin with a "/", so it fails because of that. -- Get a fully managed dedicated server for €200/month ($257/month) No time limit for taking care of your server.

Re: What happened to pup?
by James Sylvester 26 May '05

26 May '05

Yesterday, at about this time, I flawlessly installed 5 CDs containining a week old distro of Fedora Core 3.9, aka Fedora Core 4 test 3. Having installed Red Hat from 7.1 to 9 and Fedora 1, 2, 3, I thought the install was flawless until I tried to use Redhat Package Manager, up2date and then yum to update the many changes that occur in development in a week and a half's time. RPM up2date hung on the second panel, yum could get to extras but not to the development rpm repo at redhat or its mirrors. I being a user of some experience and a supporter of Fedora could see a potential enterprise user or newbie becoming real distressed. If Fedora Core 4 is released without better update resource managers, then we will not obtain the kudos that I believe F4 deserves. After 2 hours of frustration I began downloading single pkg updates, each time muttering, where's pup? Today, in a more refreshed mood, I looked at my dog Spot, who gleefully chases snakes, but had been unable to help, yesterday. The problem? A missing python library effecting both up2date and yum. Spot's to old to obtain a pup, but I am not. The need for a reliable "pup" may not become a part of Fedora 4 (due to devlp. time), but the need is sufficient enough to not have it relegated to extras. Many good ideas on the forum. Need core developer leadership on this one. Cheers to what I believe may be the best Fedora distro, yet.

ufs write safety
by David Kewley 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hi all, Can anyone here provide experience reports or pointers to reports, regarding the safety of Linux's write support for Sun UFS? It is marked as experimental and dangerous, but it appears to have been around since 1998. I'm wondering whether this might be one of those things that works fine but still carries old labels. I've googled and found only the same warnings that I would write myself, if I only read fs/Kconfig & Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt. I tried contacting the author, Daniel Pirkl, but his email address listed in the code the docs is now invalid. I have several external RAID arrays that up to now have been attached to Sun boxes and formatted with UFS filesystems. I will be attaching these arrays now to a RHEL 4 host. If I can safely get away with it, I'd prefer to keep writing to the UFS volumes, since we're talking about several TB of data. But if writing is still not believed to be safe, then I will need to transfer the data to a Linux filesystem with spare TB of space, reformat the external filesystems, and move the data back (or variations on that plan). These are filesystems that several people use for daily work, so I'd rather avoid the copy time if possible. Any pointers would be very welcome. Thanks, David

Update / Install CDs

Hi, Can we please have an option when updating (or installing fresh) not to install every language pack under the sun for OOo? I've just done an update and have spent the last 10 minutes or so ditching the lot. I have no problems including the $LANG language pack, but why in the UK would I want the rest?! TTFN Paul -- "Space", it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big space really is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemists, but that's just *peanuts* compared to space, listen" - Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

I'm not convinced it's the best way, but it >wouldn't be terribly hard. Its not the most elegant solution, but it solves the problem at hand without forcing package providers to provide a complete web architecture. The problem is allowing people to install packages without going into 'DLL Hell'. The other solutions are far more elegant, but also far more work, as they provide a complete new architecture. Instead of having an install folder, you can just use yum to install instead of rpm when you (right)click on an rpm to install.

talks about Fedora
by Russell Coker 23 May '05

23 May '05

I want to give a talk about the new features in FC4, the aim is for a 30 min talk on the day of the release. Anyone working on notes for such a talk? If not does anyone have suggestions about what new features should be mentioned? Also I am considering offering a talk on Fedora on PPC, however not knowing much about PPC I would need to have the notes mostly written for me. Is there anyone who has such notes? The talk would have to go for 90 mins. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

User Friendly Install
by Naheem Zaffar 23 May '05

23 May '05

Hi This was RE: what happened to pup? I have been reading the discussion regarding how we should handle installs that benefits an end user. So far the discussion has been regarding web interfaces etc. that randomly invoke yum, and add a repo file (If I understand correctly). What I as an end user would probably prefer would be something slightly different. A local scripted folder which is also referenced in yum. How this could work: 1. There is a local.repo file linking to a local folder. 2. I the end user search Fedora for an RPM, but do not find one. 3. I find an rpm file. (there is a trust issue here, just like there is with a website automatically creating a .repo file). 4. I save it onto my computer, and drag it onto the localrepo folder. 5. Yum is automatically invoked by the scripted folder, calculating any dependencies. 6. To uninstall, just drag the rpm out of the localrepo folder, automatically invoking 'yum remove'... Ofcourse this method will not automatically update files (as the localrepo is only updated by the individual, not the rpm owner). I do not know if Nautilus can have scriptable folders, or yum install from a local folder, so these could be issues that need to be worked on. This method takes the mac approach and IMO beats it hands down, also having any benefits of the windows approach without most of the drawbacks. PS I am an End User, not a developer, so developers may disagree with me.

Any reason we're using libdv-0.103?
by sean darcy 23 May '05

23 May '05

libdv-0.104 was announced in November, 2004. We're using 0.103. I could hack the spec file from 0.103 to build 0.104, but I figured I'd better ask if there's a reason to stick with 0.103. sean

Standard keytab location
by Rudi Chiarito 23 May '05

23 May '05

Hi, in the wake of the recent discussion about the location for SSL certificates, I was wondering about the same regarding Kerberos keytabs. The only standard so far is /etc/krb5.keytab. That's the file meant to contain keys for the local machine. It is readable only by root for security reasons. Of course this is a problem for server applications that do not run as root, e.g. httpd. A number of applications provide means to specify an alternate location for the keytab - quite often through the KRB5_KTNAME environment variable. The other benefit of having separate keytab files is that it should reduce risks in case of a security breach and I think it should make it easier to enforce policies on keys with the help of SELinux. Where should these files reside, then? In the application's directory, when present, such as /etc/httpd/ or /etc/openldap/? Or something like /etc/httpd/keytab.d? Maybe /etc/keytabs/ or /etc/krb5.keytabs/? The last two would work for applications that do not use a directory of their own under /etc. What should the files be named? Should packages provide RPM ghost files? Should more than one keytab be supported for a single application? I'm thinking of Apache vhosts - I don't know yet if mod_auth_kerb will be able to handle that. Comments? -- Rudi

While I'm not suggesting that Pup be abandoned, you and others might be interested in this project I found: http://yumex.sourceforge.net/ Yumex aims to be a simple GUI to yum, written in Python and GLADE, develoment is quite active on the branch for FC4: http://linux.rasmil.dk/cms/modules/news/ At the moment it is quite functional, but could use some UI love in some areas.

how to tell a socket to route thru a specific interface...
by Philip George 21 May '05

21 May '05

How can I specify that a socket use a specific interface? If I have a wi-fi connection to one network and a cat5 connection to another, how can i tell my socket to route through a specific one (and not even try the other)? To be clear, I'm talking about an outgoing connection. For example, I use send() a few lines after what is shown here to send a web request and recv() to get the requested page. The catch being that I need to specify that the request be routed through a specific interface, not just any old interface (assuming that at runtime there are 2 or more available connections from the computer out to the internet). I thought it was bind() that did this, but it doesn't seem like that's what it's doing at all. I have a book that led me to believe bind() would tell a socket to route through a specific interface (thus BINDing it to the socket), but I think it's more likely that it's a dns-related call. unfortunately, the man page is strangely ambiguous about what it actually does, using the word 'name' a lot, but never actually saying 'hostname'. In any case, here's the code i've got that isn't working (although I'm pretty sure the setsockopt() line is okay) : // setup local address stuff... struct sockaddr_in LOCaddr; LOCaddr.sin_family = AF_INET; LOCaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(local_ip); // set to true for SO_DONTROUTE... int val = 1; // bind to specific interface and then set SO_DONTROUTE... if (bind(sockethandle, (struct sockaddr *)&LOCaddr, sizeof(LOCaddr))==0) { setsockopt(sockethandle, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DONTROUTE, &val, sizeof(val)); } What do I need to do here instead of bind()? Thanks. - Philip

kpartx & dm-multipath kernel module: Where/when should they be called (wrt FC4)?
by Axel Thimm 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi, I successfully managed to get multipath support on an EVA 3000 (HSV100). BTW shouldn't the policy for HSV100 be group_by_serial (former group_by_tur)? --- multipath.conf~ 2005-04-01 22:56:49.000000000 +0200 +++ multipath.conf 2005-05-20 14:38:14.000000000 +0200 @@ -60,7 +60,7 @@ device { vendor "HP " product "HSV100 " - path_grouping_policy multibus + path_grouping_policy group_by_serial path_checker tur } device { Anyway now I have my /dev/dm-2 block device and I had to get to the partitions on it. After some search I found that kpartx -a /dev/dm-2 did the right job and extracted "/dev/dm-2p1" onto /dev/dm-3 (is that the indented bahaviour? Getting a new device name?). What I wonder now, is where and how kpartx should be embedded into the distribution's init scripts. It needs to come before any lvm parts as this is an lvm partition. OTOH dm-multipath needs to be modprobed even earlier and currently I'm using a new interface in the init scripts (/etc/sysconfig/modules) which is called after lvm setup. :( Any chance this could still hit FC4? <8-) Thanks! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

workaround gcc-4 assembly constraint bug
by Toshio Kuratomi 19 May '05

19 May '05

I've been working on getting the ocaml extras package compiled on devel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156238 There appears to be a bug in gcc4's inline assembly constraints: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21291 that's keeping the compiler from selecting memory when we run out of registers. Here's the affected ocaml code from: ocaml-3.08.3/otherlibs/num/bng_ia32.c:bngdigit bng_ia32_mult_sub_digit: asm("1: \n\t" "movl (%1), %%eax \n\t" "movl (%0), %4 \n\t" "mull %5\n\t" /* edx:eax = d * next digit of b */ "subl %%eax, %4 \n\t" /* subtract eax from next digit of a */ "adcl $0, %%edx \n\t" /* accumulate carry in edx */ "subl %3, %4 \n\t" /* subtract out */ "adcl $0, %%edx \n\t" /* accumulate carry in edx */ "movl %4, (%0) \n\t" /* store next digit of result */ "movl %%edx, %3 \n\t" /* edx is next out */ "leal 4(%0), %0 \n\t" "leal 4(%1), %1 \n\t" "decl %2 \n\t" "jnz 1b" : "+&r" (a), "+&r" (b), "+&rm" (blen), "+&rm" (out), "=&r" (tmp) : "rm" (d) : "eax", "edx"); I think that the solution should be to change the constraints to specify memory only rather than a register with memory fallback: : "+&r" (a), "+&r" (b), "+m" (blen), "+m" (out), "=&r" (tmp) : "rm" (d) : "eax", "edx"); I'm not too familiar with gcc's constraints, though. Would anyone with a bit more experience be willing to tell me if that looks right or not? Thanks, Toshio -- toshio \ 25th March, 1999: Cold rain in Georgia.

PPC and RS/6000 (PReP)
by Ricardo Ariel Gorosito 19 May '05

19 May '05

Hi, will RS/6000 be supported in FC4? rawhide's changelog from 20050514 say "Enable CONFIG_ISA on ppc32 to make the RS/6000 user happy" in kernel package and AFAIK anaconda has some support for PReP machines (changelog in anaconda 2005-Apr-26 talk about PReP in iSeries). I have downloades FC4T3 and when I try to boot 1st CD, the host freeze and in led display show F4D ('Bit-map file read into memory, start processing') CD1/images/README say "Images for installing on an iSeries machine can be found in the ppc/iSeries directory." but ppc/iSeries does not exist I'm testing with RS/6000 7043-240 (UP) processor is ppc604e (pSeries PReP, not CHRP). It is running linux today. R.-

call for release notes for FC4
by Karsten Wade 19 May '05

19 May '05

Now is your final time to get your release note requests in for Fedora Core 4. Current version of the release notes is available here: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/beta/release-notes-en/fc4-relnotes This version is in plain text. Here is how you can send in release notes: * Use this pre-filled bugzilla template (preferred method): http://tinyurl.com/exov3 -- OR -- * Send email with details to relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org . The latter will likely have a bug created to track discussion and resolution. Please file a bug instead in the first place. Release notes are now being handled by a team through the Fedora Documentation Project. Individuals or small groups handle a particular relnotes beat. Your note will be assigned to a writer on your beat. All release note requests are available through the tracking bugzilla number: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/showdependencytree.cgi?id=151189 You can read more about the beats, which are subject to change as we develop this process. Note that many of the current writers are temporary assignments only. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Beats We are looking for ongoing relnotes beat writers. If you or anyone else is interested, please visit: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/NewWriters Thanks - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/

"use register arguments" option enabled.
by Mike Honeyfield 18 May '05

18 May '05

I am just wondering the reasoning behind having the experimental option "Use register arguments" on in the kernel config. It has caused some issues for me, have since fixed it, but was wondering why an experimental feature that could/can break the ABI for 3rd party binary only modules would be enabled? I have noted this on FC2/3, not yet looked at FC4test and also RHEL4. Thanks in advance. Mike

SE Linux installer changes needed - was Re: /etc/ld.so.cache and FC4T3

Is anyone else seeing this? > > At this stage I'm not sure whether I messed up my install process or > whether it's a more general thing. I've found the problem. The domain anaconda_t seems to be unused (we should probably just delete anaconda.te). The installation process runs all initial programs from an initrd (gzip compressed cpio file). cpio has no support for SE Linux labels so no domain transitions occur and everything runs in kernel_t. Everything that's not in an initrd is in a cramfs file system (which also has no support for SE Linux labelling). This means that created files get the type of the directory - etc_t in the case of /etc/ld.so.cache. One possible method of dealing with this would be the following: domain_auto_trans(kernel_t, ldconfig_exec_t, ldconfig_t) The other option is to run restorecon at the end of the install. Both options are ugly hacks. Given that we aren't doing anything with SE Linux at the install the best option is probably to create a policy that defines all file types with a single domain that can have read/write access to them, this will save space in the stage2 files and also precious RAM (currently installing to a machine with 64M of RAM is almost impossible, and 4176K of that problem is the SE Linux policy). I've attached a little Perl script that will munge a targeted policy. It replaces most type and domain definitions with typealias rules and reduces the policy binary size from 4176K to 60K. That saves 4116K of kernel memory and almost 700K on the cramfs. The saving of 4M of kernel memory will make a huge difference to the install on small machines. Currently it's almost impossible to install a FC4 test version on a machine with 64M of RAM, this change will give the same result as adding another 4M of RAM to machines for the installer (particularly important for machines that run out of RAM before completing the partitioning process). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

pam_ccreds and Fedora
by W. Michael Petullo 18 May '05

18 May '05

I have been using Fedora Core's pam_ccreds package to allow my laptop to authenticate users even when it is disconnected from my network's LDAP server[1]. Recently, logging in to my computer when disconnected began to fail. It seems that I was incorrectly relying on nscd to cache information for long periods of time. Bug 150748 fixed nscd, but made it difficult to abuse it in the way I require. After doing some research, I found nss_updatedb, a utility that maintains a local cache of network directory user and group information. However, nss_updatedb is not included in Fedora Core. What is the preferred way to use pam_ccreds on Fedora? Is anyone else using this PAM module? Is nss_updatedb a prerequisite and, if so, will it be packaged for Fedora? I think disconnected authentication is an important feature for Fedora and would like to help work on it.

How to rebuild the kernel src rpm.
by TGS 17 May '05

17 May '05

How do I rebuild the kernel src rpm, after I have rebuilt a new version from the src? I have created a patch to the kernel, tweaked the kernel-2.6.spec, and built the binary rpms for the kernel just fine. Problem is that I cannot see how I build the src version of the rpm with my patch included.

Rebuild installation CDROMs
by TGS 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hello, How do I get information for rebuilding the CDROMs used for installation? I need to rebuild the kernel used during boot, and install into the isolinux directory. I have found a bit of information on the web, and am mainly looking to see how to build the initrd.img located in the isolinux directory. It seems quite a bit bigger than the initrd that I build from source.

Whither nedit?
by Ian Pilcher 17 May '05

17 May '05

I just noticed that nedit is no longer present in Fedora Core 4 test 3. Is there a plan to bring it back or move it to Fedora Extras? (I would gladly volunteer to maintain a Fedora Extras package.) -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher i.pilcher(a)comcast.net ========================================================================

tmpwatch and removing directories....
by Matthew Miller 17 May '05

17 May '05

tmpwatch never seems to remove directories unless I give it the -c flag, which isn't always what I want to do. (In fact, usually it's not.) I think the problem is still the one described by Aleksey Nogin in this bug from July, 2000: This problem existed for as long as tmpwatch was in RedHat distribution. The problem is that by default tmpwatch uses atime for both files and directories. But because tmpwatch is ran daily, the atime for directories is always <= 1day, so it never removes them... I believe that by default, tmpwatch should use atime for files and mtime for empty directories... Yet, that's marked as fixed in rawhide in August, 2000. Am I missing something? Thanks.... -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Raising the bar for FC4
by Elliot Lee 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi all, Fedora Core 4 public release is currently targeted for Monday, June 6. To hit that, we need some time in advance doing QA and final polishing. For test releases that is usually about a week, but this is the final FC4 release so we need a bit of extra time to do the final steps. This means that Monday, May 23 is the final final freeze for FC4. After that, the bar for accepting changes into FC4 is even higher. Fixes will need to be for showstopper bugs (data corruption, crashing programs, and other things that impact a large percentage of users in a major way). I've sent out reminder e-mails to people who currently own FC4Target and FC4Blocker bugs in bugzilla, so you should know if you have specific bugs to address. If you don't have any bugs to address, you can still help by doing test installs of rawhide. I'll also try to get a few intermediate test trees out for people to install. If the plan needs clarification, please let me know! -- Elliot

files without SE Linux labels on a default install - no Anaconda labeling
by Russell Coker 16 May '05

16 May '05

On an SE Linux system barring file system corruption and quota issues every file on a regular file system (Ext3 etc) should have a SE Linux label. As a test I did a default install of FC4T3 in the "Personal Workstation" configuration and checked this. Below is the relevant output from setfiles -v when relabelling the root file system. It seems to me that /usr/share/apps/ksplash, /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes, /usr/share/anaconda, /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps, /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime, /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot, and the install logs are created by Anaconda which doesn't apply SE Linux labels. Would it be possible to get Anaconda changed to apply labels to files and directories that it creates? I have no idea why the Portuguese Brazilian language file didn't get a label when all the other language files did. I have attached a list of all the files which aren't correctly labeled after a default targeted install which I haven't dealt with in other messages. NB this includes /etc/shadow... setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/apps/ksplash from system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:usr_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes from system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:usr_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/anaconda from system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:usr_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps from system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:usr_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime from system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:lib_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot from system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:lib_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8 from system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:lib_t setfiles: relabeling /root/install.log from system_u:object_r:file_t to root:object_r:user_home_t setfiles: relabeling /root/install.log.syslog from system_u:object_r:file_t to root:object_r:user_home_t -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

.pyo files and cups
by Russell Coker 16 May '05

16 May '05

After doing a default install of FC4T3 I relabeled the file system. Ideally such an operation should be a no-op as the install should have used the same labels that the relabel operation does. Below is part of the output of setfiles when performing the relabel. It seems that the pyo files were created by a post-install script in the rpm package or by a system boot script. Could someone please advise on what programs are likely to need the access to create such files? setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.pyo from system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/backend.pyo from system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/scan_usb_devices.pyo from system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_conf.pyo from system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

FC4t3 not booting in VMWare

Hi, I'm running FC4t3 as guest OS in a VMWare virtual machine. Kernel 2.6.11-1.1287_FC4 is the last kernel that was booting correctly for me, the subsequent kernel updates (290 and 303) fail right away with this error : PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 4 of device 0000:00:07.1 audit(1116064003.996:0): initialized Red Hat nash version 4.2.12 starting mknod: failed to create /dev/console: 17 mknod: failed to create /dev/null: 17 mknod: failed to create /dev/zero: 17 mkrootdev: label / not found mount: error 2 mounting ext3 ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 1 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 2 switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

3w-9xxx module version in FC4
by Jesse Keating 13 May '05

13 May '05

I have to backport the '9.2' release of 3w-9xxx to FC3 and RHEL* for our customers, and I'm curious as to if this driver set made it into mainline kernel and included into the FC4 kernel tree. Can anybody help me with this? Here is modinfo for the 9.2 kernel module: filename: ./3w-9xxx.ko version: 2.26.03.015 -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?

ElementTree vs. lxml (python XML libraries)
by John (J5) Palmieri 13 May '05

13 May '05

This is just an exploratory e-mail as I don't know all the issues involved and don't want to get into a flamewar if someone has strong opinions on either side. I have been looking at what library to use for parsing the XML content in the dbus python bindings. Suggestions were to use lxml (http://codespeak.net/lxml/) however we don't currently ship it. Yum currently uses ElementTree for its parsing. lxml aims to be compatible with the ElementTree API with a few exceptions. On top of that it uses libxml2 as its base library and extends the ElementTree API with things like XPath, Relax NG, XSLT and c14n. While the dbus bindings don't need these features some of the other stuff I want to work on may. Is it a possibility to port yum to lxml? Are we married to ElementTree? Would having both libraries in the distribution be objectionable? Does anyone else have a deeper knowledge of either or both libraries that can shed more light on the issue. -- John (J5) Palmieri Associate Software Engineer Desktop Group Red Hat, Inc.

yum very slow
by Richard Hally 13 May '05

13 May '05

Yum seems to be very slow in resolving dependencies. I'm sitting here watching my rawhide test box take over an hour to do the dep resolution for todays updates from rawhide. This is on a box that has a 2.5ghz P4 and nothing else running on the machine. this has been occurring for at least a few weeks(or longer). What should I do to get useful information concerning this problem? Thanks Richard Hally

FC4 release 1290 build fails with ARCH=xen
by Jeffrey Buell 13 May '05

13 May '05

The regular FC4 release 1290 build is fine on my i686 box, but building with ARCH=xen (with the xen0 config file included with the source) fails. The file asm/synch_bitops.h does not exist but is needed by asm-xen/evtchn.h. Similarly, asm/hypercall.h does not exist but is needed by asm-xen/hypervisor.h. Header files with these names are in asm-xen/asm-i386 but using these leads to compile errors involving the structs evtchn_op_t and physdev_op_t. Is this a known problem and are there any workarounds? The only change I made was to remove SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586-smp.config in order to get rpmbuild to work. Jeff

I just figured out the workaround: removing SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586-smp.config. Apparently I don't need this, but still rpmbuild shouldn't choke on it. Jeff

Converting UNO packages to .rpm format?
by M. Fioretti 12 May '05

12 May '05

Greetings, there is a discussion going on at discuss(a)openoffice.org about how, in general, OO.o add-ons should be packaged for Linux: UNO format, .rpm/deb/ etc... and who should do it. In that context, I asked how to distribute add-ons (macros, templates, clip-art, patches, whatever) in such a way that they can be directly used by others to create native Linux packages in whatever format. Among other comments, I got the following comments: >I think Linux distributors should figure out if there is anything that >provents them from wrapping UNO packages into native packages. I would >imagine that to be rather simple. and: >The UNO package manager is documented in the UNO developers guide ><http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html> Before going further on this track, I wanted to know if there already is some Fedora developer/packager who has studied this in detail, and has comments on this. Specifically, does anybody already has experience in converting (automatically) those packages to .rpm for Fedora, and integrating them in the whole system?

Thunderbird maildir manipulation error
by Gianluca Sforna 12 May '05

12 May '05

Hi, I am going to submit a bug for thunderbird and, since I have not installed anything newer than FC3, I would like to ask your help for testing this in FC4test and/or rawhide. The bug is related to maildir manipulation (using Dovecot IMAP server); here are the steps to reproduce: 1. create a "test" folder 2. create a "test2" subfolder inside "test" 3. try to move test2 to the top level With the installed thunderbird-1.0.2-1.3.2 I got this error: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Mailbox exists.. just to be sure this problem was not related to the server, I tried with evolution (evolution-2.0.4-4) and it works as expected, that is, the folder is successfully moved. I will report this against the FC3 version of thunderbird unless someone can confirm the same error appears in more recent versions. Cheers Gianluca

rpmbuild problem in FC4 release 1290

I have used rpmbuild several times with recent releases, but have never seen this problem before. I'm using release 1290 (1288 did something similar). The tail end of the output of rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec is: scripts/kconfig/confdata.c: In function 'conf_get_default_confname': scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:62: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'conf_expand_value' differ in signedness scripts/kconfig/confdata.c: In function 'conf_read': scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:88: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'conf_expand_value' differ in signedness .config:2477: trying to assign nonexistent symbol NETDUMP CONFIG_X86_REBOOTFIXUPS CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DELKIN CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IT821X CONFIG_SCSI_LPFC CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_AIRPRIME CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_HP4X make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 6 make: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.22022 (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.22022 (%prep) The .config file doesn't even have NETDUMP in it.

I'm experimenting with Kernel Preemption
by Juan Carlos Castro y Castro 12 May '05

12 May '05

(I posted this in fedora-list and Rahul Sundaram suggested I post it here instead) Not on Fedora's kernel sources, but with 2.6.11ac7. I based my config on /boot/config-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 and dealt with the additional options with "make oldconfig". Then I browsed the configuration with "make menuconfig", just for fun. I saw kernel preemption was turned off, so I turned on. Afterwards, I notice the system is noticeably faster. Bootup is faster. Shutdown is faster. The Red Hat manu on GNOME pops up WAY faster. OpenOffice.org loading is faster. I suspect other things are faster too, but I'd have to time them. So my question is: why isn't preemption enabled in the FC3 packaged kernel? Does it conflict with something I haven't encountered yet? maybe some esoteric hardware combination? My hardware data is below. Another thing: what crucial patch, if any, am I missing by using 2.6.11ac7 instead of the FC3 packaged kernel?

Problems with buring FC4 test ISOs
by William Beebe 11 May '05

11 May '05

I've been having problems burning ISOs for FC4 test 2 and test 3. If I download ISOs to Windows XP and then used Nero 6 to burn the CDs/DVDs, they failed the integrity check when booted up. If, on the other hand, I boot into Linux (SuSE 9.1 in this instance) and run K3b as root (kdesu k3b) I can burn the exact same ISO images to blank media using the exact same hardware and the new CD/DVD will successfully pass its integrity check. As stated I downloaded the DVD ISO on WinXP using Firefox. When the first burn failed I rebooted into SuSE 9.1, mounted the Windows file system to get to the ISO and burned a second successful copy. I'm currently installing FC4 test 3 using the good DVD. So far so good. DVD installation is so superior to the CD installation shuffle. It's worth the time to download or buy the DVD. Well, it just finished successfully installing. That's the fastest I've ever dropped a Linux on any box, regardless of distribution, and it's as fast if not faster than Windows. FC4t3 seems a lot snappier when booting and logging in as well. Gnome seems cleaner, but I'm still going to switch over to KDE once I've got other items reconfigured. Overall this is a very good beginning for Fedcora Core 4.

Freezes with 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp
by Jules Colding 11 May '05

11 May '05

Hi, I have had two total freezes (couldn't even ping it) with this kernel today. Nothing in the logs, it just stopped dead. The only common about the two freezes was that I was browsing with Firefox when it happened. System is up to date. I have now booted 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp and the problem seems to have vanished. I'll send further information if anyone wants it. Best regards, jules

/usr/libexec
by Russell Coker 11 May '05

11 May '05

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/05/msg00401.html I started a discussion on debian-devel about /usr/libexec with the hope of getting more compatability between different distributions (different file locations are a pain for SE Linux developers). The conclusion of the discussion at the above URL is that /usr/libexec (as used in Fedora) is against the FHS and that we should get the FHS changed if we want other distributions to follow our example in this regard. What's the procedure for submitting a suggestion for a FHS change? -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

Converting your FC4test2 isos to FC4test3 isos
by Dax Kelson 11 May '05

11 May '05

I noticed that test3 has been released, and I used this trick to convert my FC4test2 isos into FC4test3. This way I'm not downloading the bits that haven't changed. cd /path/to/your/FC4test2/isos mv FC4-test2-i386-disc1.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc1.iso mv FC4-test2-i386-disc2.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc2.iso mv FC4-test2-i386-disc3.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc3.iso mv FC4-test2-i386-disc4.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc4.iso rsync -v --stats --progress rsync://<rsync fedora mirror>/fedora/linux/core/test/3.92/i386/iso/FC4-test3-i386-disc[1234].iso . Watching the data transfer speed, I notice that pretty often it jumps up much higher than the cap of my internet connection. This tells me that that my trick was worthwhile. Be sure to grab the SHA1SUM file and check your ISOs once the rsync completes. Dax Kelson Guru Labs

Every of the missing announcements is much longer than 2 days out. Here are the dates when the files appeared on the download mirror that I use: perl-5.8.5-11.FC3, released 2005-04-27, #156366 logwatch-5.2.2-1.FC3.1, released 2005-04-26, #156367 devhelp-0.9.2-2.3.2, released 2005-04-22, #156017 epiphany-1.4.4-4.3.2, released 2005-04-22, #156016 mozilla-1.7.7-1.3.1, released 2005-04-22, #156015 logwatch-5.2.2-1.FC3, released 2005-04-21, #156014 firefox-1.0.3-1.3.1, released 2005-04-19, #156013 postfix-2.1.5-5, released 2005-03-17, #151588 nfs-utils-1.0.6-52, released 2005-02-19, #149901 Up to now I have no script to monitor the missing announcement. I'm still hoping that this problem is addressed in a way so that it cannot happen again. I just take a look at my rsync mirror logs and compare them to the announcements that appeared on the mailing list. If no announcement comes out within two days after the rpms appear on the download mirror I open up a bug in bugzilla. So far most rpm packagers were helpful and sent out the announcement when they see the bugreport. But sometimes even this fails :-( Why is it not possible to automatically sent out the announcement after the rpms are signed and the MD5 sums are known? Is it possible to trigger an email to the packager after the package is signed? Something like a reminder "package is ready for distribution, please sent out an announcement". TIA, Bernd.

esd won't allow gnome logout
by Marius Andreiana 10 May '05

10 May '05

Sometimes logging out of GNOME doesn't work (ctrl+alt+del has no effect). Regular users will hard reboot (and hopefully select linux again when grub asks what OS to boot). I've ran ps ax and started killing processes to find out which won't die, as gnome-session-save --kill was running. esd was running with parameters /usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 13 and it will die only on killall -9. I don't know what starts it, I haven't enabled it in sound preferences. As a temporary solution I renamed /usr/bin/esd so it won't run again. Ever :D -- Marius Andreiana

Firefox etc. default homepage
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak 09 May '05

09 May '05

Today we use the release notes as standard homepage for all browsers, instead of whatever is upstream default. Why do we do that, while constantly repeating the mantra "upstream!, upstream!, upstream!"? In my personal opinion, the release notes belong in "help" or something like that (even a shortcut on the standard desktop would be more intuitive) - not as the standard homepage in every browser. This confuses people, and addmitedly, the release notes aren't that much usefull to the users as the standard homepage - especially in firefox, where the standard is: http://www.google.no/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:nb-NO:official which is simply a google search with some hints on using firefox etc. Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk

09 May '05

I have been screaming at Dell Tech Support over the last couple of weeks trying to get them to at least acknowledge that there is a re-occuring problem with their raid controller on the Poweredge 2650(they call the adaptec controller a 3D/i). We are running AS 3(R4) and Dell TS told us to not use the v1.1.5 of the aacraid driver, but to use their driver(v1.1.4 based, but really a completely different version). I have been trying to get them to contact Red Hat, or the upstream kernel maintainers for the module, but they(Dell) are being kind of "We don't make these any more, go away!" Here is the link to the Dell v1.1.4 driver and their "dkms" system (glorified make). http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=555&l=en&s=… How do I propose a merge between the Dell v1.1.4 and the current v1.1.5 of the aacraid module in the 2.4 kernel?

The thing is that I am, of course, ignorant about IPv6. But this "I heard ... real firewall" kind of thing is really very silly. Why don't you write specifically what functionality is missing? -- Pete

initng
by Greg Martyn 08 May '05

08 May '05

Hi all, I was just wondering if this dovetails with some of the early-login stuff that has been discussed on this list. It was written with gentoo in mind though.. "Jimmy Wennlund wrote initng, a replacement for the Sys-V style "init" application. It allows for better service dependency checking and will start services in a highly parallel fashion, dramatically speeding up the Linux boot process." http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=10513 -Greg

Standard yum configuration
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak 08 May '05

08 May '05

Some questions about the standard yum config: - Will the fedora/fedora-extras gpgkeys be added by default, or could the yum error message at least give some hints how to install them? Could it even ask "%s gpgkey not installed, would you like to install them now? [y/N]" like up2date? I think you must thrust RH anyway, as you allready has installed the whole OS packaged and signed by them... - Will fedora-extras.repo be included in /etc/yum.repos.d/ by default? Will it be enabled by default? - Will pup be installed by default? What will happen to up2date? Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk

FC4 and kernel 2.6.12
by Trever L. Adams 08 May '05

08 May '05

I am well aware we are getting late in the game. However, I have heard that real firewalling for IPv6 is in the pre series for 2.6.12. Is there anyway we can get this into FC4? This is not some trivial thing. It is something that has been needed for some time. Trever -- "God is real, unless declared integer." -- Unknown

What is wrong in this spec file?
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi, Attached is one spec file, for the findlib package. It has been from a src.rpm of the altlinux distribution I made just minor changes to suit it to my fedora core3. Near the end of the packaging process, the stuff checks the "prelinking". Okay, but the problem is it say absolutely anything, as you see at the bottom of this message. That was the first thing. The second is that if a make a : # rpm -qlp /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/findlib-1.0.4-fc3.i386.rpm It shows me my entire system!! I think this thing has embeded all my PATH into the rpm pacakge! I guess something would be wrong into my spec file, but I cant find where.

rpm's zlib and deltarpms
by Michael Schroeder 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi folks, I just found out that the rsync patch applied to rpm's internal zlib library makes it produce zlib-incompatible payloads. That is, a decompress and recompress with normal zlib doesn't produce the same output. Normally this doesn't do much harm, but with deltarpms I need to reconstruct the exact compressed payload. So at the moment deltarpms won't work with FC4 rpms. Seems like I have to add the patched zlib version to the deltarpm package and somehow detect which version to use. (Btw, the zlib license states that altered source versions must be "plainly marked". Please do so. See zlib FAQ entry #24.) Sigh, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls(a)suse.de main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);}

Wrond disk space in "df"
by Carlos Rodrigues 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi! I have an external USB 2.0 250Gb hard-drive formatted with fat32 and df always shows 64Kb of used disk space, when there are already a couple of gigabytes there. I already submitted this as bug #155819 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=155819) but was wondering if anybody else is seeing this problem, or is it just me? -- Carlos Rodrigues

Two latest kernels and udev
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak 06 May '05

06 May '05

I am not able to boot my computer using either of the two latest kernels (2.6.11-1.1286_FC4 and .1284). All that happens is during "Starting udev" i get the error "MAKEDEV mkdir: File exists". Yet udev gets the green "OK". It then hangs at "Initiating hardware...". Kernel .1282, .1276, and .1275 are all OK - they boot, no problem. (there is an error "mknod: failed to create /dev/"{"console", "zero", "null"}" 17" Anyone with similar experiences? This is a Dell Latitude c600/c500 laptop computer. Kyrre

Stateless Debian Project
by gaurav 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi, We have just initiated Stateless Debian Project and we are looking for active volunteers/developers Detail of project are given below Summary This project was started by Fedora (Redhat) but is no longer in active development and will not be included in next release of fc4 , this projects aims to provide longterm commitment to the concept & port it to 100% community based distro like Debian Stateless Linux converts normal Linux desktop/clients to Stateless machines or appliances, which means if throw your computer out of window you still will be able to get exactly same same settings/data when you log from any other pc in the network ....A single administrator can easily manage network thousands of desktops ...Stateless Linux centralizes the state in a Gold server (different from CFengine) and rest of clients are updated regularly from it . This is different from thin clients as local processing power and memory of clients is used (or cached client) http://sourceforge.net/projects/statelessdebian/ Project Goals 1) Port relevant parts of RH State Linux (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/stateless/) to Debian 2)Extend/integrate/enhance Stateless Linux thru existing projects like DBRL http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL <http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL> and Debian CCD infrastructure, FAI (Fully Automated Installation,http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/) 3) Add cluster support and node monitoring and autonomic capabilities 4)Meets most of OSDL Desktop Linux specification 5) Long term community based , vendor neutral project 6) Member of "Move 2 Debian" project 7) Latter (2nd phase )Add p2p support for directory support(DHT), file storage and retrieval(tuples), state transfer (Bittorent) to elinimate any need of centralized servers/infrastructure and make it highly scalable (to millions!!) Right now this project is in pre beta stage and we are preparing Stateless Linux White paper and started porting portions of RH Stateless Linux to Debian . Any Suggestions/Ideas will appreciated :-) ..if anyone is interested from this list then pl let me know Regards, Gaurav

Why not have a template that the packager fills out partially with %summary, %description, etc., then have a place where the signer puts the md5sums. That way the packager doesn't have to worry about when the packages are signed, and the announcement can go out as soon as the updates are ready. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazquez(a)ivazquez.net> http://fedora.ivazquez.net/ gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 38028b72

early-login status?
by Matthew Lenz 06 May '05

06 May '05

I've been trying to follow the early-login changes but don't seem much discussion on the lists about it, or in the bugzilla entry. Are the changes to syslog and xfs /etc/rc.d/init.d's still required or is it now simply a matter of s/rhgb/early-login/g on /etc/grub.conf and enabling the 3 early-login scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d? Have any of you tried out recently released http://jw.dyndns.org/initng/ (InitNG)? Anyone see any major CONs to implementing it for FC5? Looks neater than heck from what I can see.

Boot process stops at level 3 and 5 (or rawhide ate my baby)
by mbneto 05 May '05

05 May '05

Since saturday my fc3+rawhide-updates system started to act strangely. When I boot runlevel 5 or 3 it hangs during the boot process. I can't ctrl-alt-del. It happens with all kernel versions that I have, even "old" ones that worked before saturday, like 2.6.11-1.1240_FC4. If I boot single mode, do a service network start and init 3 I can use the machine ok. Any ideas of what may be wrong ? or even how can I provide more information about it ?

applications which depend on esound
by Marius Andreiana 04 May '05

04 May '05

With alsa 1.0.9rc3, dmix is enabled by default and it works (with gstreamer too). There are several applications which depend on esound which seems weird, as I thought these use gstreamer: libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) nautilus-2.10.0-3.i386 libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-media-2.10.0-2.i386 libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gok-1.0.3-1.i386 libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) control-center-2.10.0-4.i386 libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) smpeg-0.4.4-9.i386 libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) libgnome-2.10.0-2.i386 libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-session-2.10.0-2.i386 esound >= 1:0.2.27 is needed by (installed) libgnomeui-2.10.0-1.i386 Should I file upstream bugs for these to remove direct esound depencies and require only gstreamer? These depencies seem ok to me until esound is dropped, as these are sound systems: libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) arts-1.4.0-1.i386 libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gstreamer-plugins-0.8.8-5.i386 Note1: alsa-lib 1.0.9rc3 will be in updates soon, now only at http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa-lib/ Note2: dmix doesn't solve "sound over network" problem. This still requires a sound server (e.g. MAS, Jack, esd), but the sound server can be implemented at gstreamer framework level, not application level. -- Marius Andreiana

Request for Testing of Installer X Configuration on PPC
by Jeremy Katz 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hi. I've got an ISO for quick testing of anaconda's X configuration setup available that's a little bit smaller than a full tree. All you should have to do is download the ISO, burn it to a CD, boot and see if X starts up. Then, you can reboot and go back to your normal doings. Note that this is entirely non-destructive. So you can even run it if you are running OS X. *ANY* results would be helpful. Please be sure to include what you see happen as well as what type of hardware you're using (cpu, video, monitor). The iso is located at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/mac-x-test.iso. The md5sum is 34234b3cdf2d89e4e94031a50f819285 Thanks in advance for testing this and helping to make test3 (and thus, the Fedora Core 4 release) better on PPC hardware! Jeremy

What dependencies does it need ?
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 03 May '05

03 May '05

Hi, I made a findlib package from the altlinux src.rpm, in order to make a ocamlnet package. ocamlnet depends on findlib. You'll find at the bottom the specfile i used. It builds without any errors. But when I try to install the thing: # rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/findlib-1.0.4-fc3.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE) is needed by findlib-1.0.4-fc3.i386 perl(gtkdoc-common.pl) is needed by findlib-1.0.4-fc3.i386 What did I do wrong?

The library contains functions to look the directory up that stores a package, to query metainformation about a package, and to retrieve dependency information about multiple packages. There is also a tool that allows the user to enter queries on the command-line.

Duplicated files in the pristine FC4t2 installation
by Jindrich Novy 03 May '05

03 May '05

Hello all, I've found some file duplicates when I browsed through the /usr directory tree in the pristine & complete FC4t2 installation what made me curious how many duplicates are there in total. This is not critical, so please take this as something for your information that some files would better be symlinked/hardlinked in order to not to waste disc space without a point. I know there's sometimes no other way that to duplicate a file, but the statistics I have is IMHO rather interesting: 206405 regular files found, 4149 MiB [5468 MiB] 15797 total dupes, 15705 non-zero sized. 96 MiB [161 MiB], 2.325% [2.951%] wasted by dupes, 13906 symlinks, 5042 hardlinks. So that 161 MiB is "wasted" physically in the /usr tree, what is about 3% in total from all the files within the /usr hierarchy. To let this information be somehow worth for the package maintainers, I'm adding a link to the list of all the duplicated files including their sizes and md5 sums and to what package they belong: http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/FC4t2-usr-dupes.gz This statistics was done by the "slink" utility I wrote some time ago. It's able to replace duplicates with symbolic links to save disc space [EXPERIMENTAL, but seems to work] or just display a statistics about duplicates for a given directory. If you want to give it a try, get it from: http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/slink-0.0.1-pre1.tar.bz2 It's interesting how many GPL "COPYING" clones we have in /usr/share/doc for instance. Unfortunately some of my packages are also affected ;) Regards, Jindrich -- Jindrich Novy <jnovy(a)redhat.com>, http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/ The worst evil in the world is refusal to think.

rhnsd internals
by Alan Milligan 02 May '05

02 May '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm attempting to figure out how rhnsd works and am having some rather fundamental issues I'd appreciate explanations for. I'm specifically talking about the queue.get() and queue.submit() XML-RPC requests in rhn_check. From looking at code, this process looks esoteric (but possibly very cunning) to say the least. Firstly, this seems to work like a queue whereby each system, identified by ids may have a list of action objects awaiting retrieval, based upon uptime timestamps. I'm trying to visualise what these queue 'actions' may look like. Obviously, there isn't one waiting for each known system, this must be calculated in a generalised fashion. How does one then know when each 'action' has served it's purpose and can be removed from the queue? I'm also trying to figure out the format these actions are transmitted to the rhnsd client. It appears to be unmarshallable as a consequent XML-RPC call for the client to make. I see that each action is dynamically constructing a functor in /usr/share/rhn/actions. But am a bit baffled as to how its all supposed to work, parameters instantiated and passed into the methods. An example of actual action responses sent to the client would go a long way to clarifying this for me. Also, it would appear the rhnsd client continues polling for actions until it receives an empty dict. Perhaps the explanation of what constitutes an action will prove that this is eminently sensible behaviour.

Hmm, AFAIK ALSA 1.0.9rc2 uses dmix as default for cards which do not support hw mixing. Cards which support hw mixing do not use dmix. This is done in card config files (compare CMI8338.conf and Audigy2.conf).

gcc-4 inline assembler question (no register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' error)
by Enrico Scholz 02 May '05

02 May '05

Hello, while trying to build qemu, I see errors in the inline assembler. Investigating it shows that the problem is caused by code like: ----- typedef unsigned int size_t; #define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER) #define Xoffsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) (*(unsigned char*)offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER)) typedef struct { unsigned long regs[8]; } CPUState; int foo() { asm(" fs movl %0, %%eax\n" " fs movl %1, %%ebx\n" " fs movl %2, %%ecx\n" " fs movl %3, %%edx\n" " fs movl %4, %%esp\n" " fs movl %5, %%ebp\n" " fs movl %6, %%esi\n" // ** : : "m" (Xoffsetof(CPUState, regs[0])), "m" (Xoffsetof(CPUState, regs[1])), "m" (Xoffsetof(CPUState, regs[2])), "m" (Xoffsetof(CPUState, regs[3])), "m" (Xoffsetof(CPUState, regs[4])), "m" (Xoffsetof(CPUState, regs[5])), // ** "m" (Xoffsetof(CPUState, regs[6])) ); } ------- | $ gcc -c foo.c | foo.c: In function 'foo': | foo.c:11: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading 'asm' gcc32 does not have problems with it and generates code like: | $ gcc32 -c foo.c | $ objdump -d foo.o | 00000000 <foo>: | 0: 55 push %ebp | 1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp | 3: 64 a1 00 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x0,%eax | 9: 64 8b 1d 04 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x4,%ebx | 10: 64 8b 0d 08 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x8,%ecx | 17: 64 8b 15 0c 00 00 00 mov %fs:0xc,%edx | 1e: 64 8b 25 10 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x10,%esp | 25: 64 8b 2d 14 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x14,%ebp | 2c: 64 8b 35 18 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x18,%esi | 33: c9 leave | 34: c3 ret Further investigations show that the removal of the lines marked with '**' lets it succeed with gcc-4 also, and generates correct but ineffizient code: | $ gcc -c foo.c | $ objdump -d foo.o | 00000000 <foo>: | 0: 55 push %ebp | 1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp | 3: 57 push %edi | 4: 56 push %esi | 5: 53 push %ebx | 6: bf 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%edi | b: bb 04 00 00 00 mov $0x4,%ebx | 10: be 08 00 00 00 mov $0x8,%esi | 15: b9 0c 00 00 00 mov $0xc,%ecx | 1a: ba 10 00 00 00 mov $0x10,%edx | 1f: b8 18 00 00 00 mov $0x18,%eax | 24: 64 8b 07 mov %fs:(%edi),%eax | 27: 64 8b 1b mov %fs:(%ebx),%ebx | 2a: 64 8b 0e mov %fs:(%esi),%ecx | 2d: 64 8b 11 mov %fs:(%ecx),%edx | 30: 64 8b 22 mov %fs:(%edx),%esp | 33: 64 8b 28 mov %fs:(%eax),%ebp | 36: 5b pop %ebx | 37: 5e pop %esi | 38: 5f pop %edi | 39: c9 leave | 3a: c3 ret This explains why gcc-4 complains about the missing regs: it tries to load the immediate offset values into general regs first and accesses the memory based on them then. With more than 6 variables there are not enough regs available. Now my question: what is the correct way to achieve the first object code with inline assembler? Using the specific registers as machine constraints does not work as the posted assembly block happens within more complex code in the real qemu code. I tried things like | asm("fs movl (%0),%%ebx" : : "i"(offsetof(CPUState, regs[1]))) already but it generates the wrong code ('mov %fs:0x0,%ebx'). Enrico

Who is maintaining libwww?
by Sam Varshavchik 01 May '05

01 May '05

According to http://www.w3.org/Library/, W3C is not maintaining libwww any more. I have a couple of bugs I'd like to see squashed in libwww, but I'm still running FC2. If someone can confirm that they're still present in FC3/FC4 I suppose I can put them into Bugzilla, but they should really go upstream. The bugs are: 1) Segfault if HTProfile_delete() is invoked before HTLibTerminate(). 2) The order of libraries from "libwww-config --libs" does not match their internal dependency order. This does not matter when building dynamically-linked www application. But a static link will fail due to unresolved symbols.
