SUG: RPM database verification / repair, nightly and in Anaconda
by Tony Nelson 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

The RPM database should be verified more often than it is now. With FC6 there has been a spate of RPM database corruption. It happened to me: though there may have been incipient corruption in my FC5, after --rebuilddb and upgrading successfully I found more corruption later. This brings up that the RPM database is just assumed to work, but isn't being checked until it falls over. I propose that there should be a nightly cron task to check the RPM database with --verifydb, which would also attempt automatic repair (if the Packages file is OK). I am developing and testing a shell script to do this. Currently it seems to work when run manually; we'll see what happens tonight. It logs its actions in syslog via logger. I expect that logwatch will inform root by email. I propose that Anaconda should check the RPM database before starting an upgrade to an existing installation. Checking takes under a minute on my system, so it should not be objectionable. Anaconda should offer to repair a damaged RPM database (if the Package file is OK) before proceeding with the installation. I suggest that the --verifydb command should not be undocumented in RPM and its manpage. This seems to be on purpose, but I think it is a mistake. I would like some feedback about these proposals. If they are acceptable I will file RFE bugs on them. My knowlege of things RPM is superficial. It would be a good idea to have the proposed verification and repair methods criticised by authentic RPM developers, but I'm not sure where they hang out -- the Redhat Rpm-list appears to be for RPM users. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>

100% CPU on idling
by Gianluca Sforna 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

I am curious if anyone else is seeing it's processor at 100% when the machine is supposed to idling (I do not use fancy screensavers, just go to a blank screen after 10 minutes). I noticed because this is a laptop and the fan is triggered by cpu temperature raising. As soon as I touch the mouse, the CPU stops processing, but I can see it was at 100% in the system monitor applet. I suspect this is the inteded behavior of something but, nonetheless, I would like to know what actually is (and eventually kill it...) cheers Gianluca

I think there is translation related problems here. Why hasn't it been made BEFORE FC6 ? Why hasn't it be done at the same time than developing desktop-effects ?

FC6: some impressions
by Dimi Paun 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Hi folks, Congratulations for FC6, great work! I've been a long time RH/FC user ('95), so I'm pretty excited about this release. That being said, it's been a very rough experience from the POV of a desktop experience. In fact, rather frustrating and disappointing. Before I list the problems, let me just list a few datapoints: * I try to keep a clean install, as close as possible to standard * I use my desktop for email, browsing, VOIP, and hacking. * I don't need proprietary 3D drivers, no games. This is a very typical and non-taxing usage. Like for many (most?) people out there the email, browsing, CD burning, and VOIP accounts for probably 98% of what I need the desktop for. So, considering this quite typical use case, this is what I get from the upgrade from FC5: 1. Sound stopped working on my Intel ICH5 AC'97 Audio Controller https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216056 This killed VOIP on my box. 2. Evolution hangs when sending email https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208227 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208724 This renders Evolution almost entirely useless, making this a critical bug. 3. Evolution continued to not print email bodies https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186653 A long standing and crippling bug in a business environment where you receive invoices via email that you need to print. 4. CD burining in Nautilus is broken When clinking on the "Burn to CD..." button nothing happens for >30 of seconds, then dialog appears. Clicking on the drive dropdown to select another drive results in the same freeze lasting 20s or so. A non-technical user would have had to reboot the box! 5. Firefox starts using 100% after some time. No bug report here, as I haven't figure out what to report, but this makes browsing a painful experience. Slow, sluggish, with hangs that lasts 10s of seconds. Every time I close a Firefox window GNOME asks me if I want to kill it since it's not reporting, etc. Horrible. Considering these bugs, what is left of my desktop? I can't use email, no sound/VOIP, CD burning is boken, substandard browsing. I am not complaining about 3D drivers, fancy features, or Windows games, but absolutely basic desktop features. My question is: Quo Vadis? Shouldn't these problem been caught by QA? Aren't these issues considered show stoppers for a Desktop distribution? -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

cpio: the folder is make not conform to umask setting
by Dario Lesca 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Hi, the GNU cpio (http://www.gnu.org/software/cpio/) in some case (when the folder's property is not contained into package) not set the folder's access conforme to umask setting. % find /tmp/some-folder -type f -depth |cpio -pvdmu /var/tmp the some-folder and your subfolders copy into var/tmp have the access set to "rwx------" (700), not in compliance with umask's setting (as an example 0022). The tar in these cases behaves itself correctly, creating the folders (not contained in the package) compliance with umask's setting. Is this a feature or a little bugs? I have migrate some SCO unix to Linux and this "feature" is annoying. I have watched into fc6's cpio-2.6-19.src.rpm and I have see witch some patch has been added to the original version. But unfortunately I am not a 'C' programmer and I not able to setup a specific patch witch set the folder's access to umask's setting ... What I can do? Is possible add another patch for resolve this problem? I must fill a bug into Bugzilla? Pleas, give me some suggest .... Many thanks to all, and sorry for my bad English -- Dario Lesca <d.lesca(a)solinos.it>

Testing Fedora - small (?) suggestion.
by Gilboa Davara 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hello all, I use Fedora daily, and I have a vested interest in -actively- helping Fedora (and in-turn RHEL) become a better product. I don't have a dedicated Rawhide machine, I do play with it from time to time using VMWare Server, but this is fairly light testing as I'm pretty short on time. (Just to see what's new) I -do- try to install (at least on a VM machine) every test release and give it a day or two of testing - but even this is hardly enough. FC6 was a good release, but certain managed to slip through... some of them rather critical (i586 kernel springs to mind) which should have been found by us. (Read: testers) As I see it, there's not enough Rawhide users to reduce the release bug count, mainly because: A. In my experience, 1 out of 2 rawhide installs break due to missing dependencies - and spending four hours (and ~1+GB of bandwidth) just to watch Anaconda choke on missing pygtk package is very frustrating. B. Rawhide tends to break, a-lot. C. As much as I disagree with this notion, people view Fedora as RHEL's Alpha and view Rawhide as "experimental Alpha". More then anything FC6 proved that 3 test releases may not be enough to get a bug free release, so let me suggest the following: A. Create more mile-stone releases. Once the tree reaches build integrity (no missing packages), spin a test release. (Fixes P1, P2) B. Change the terms that are being used to describe each test release. Whether we like it or not, people are used to the "Alpha", "Beta" and "RC" terms, and tend to consider "Test release" as "Alpha release". I understand that the term "Test" was used to differentiate the ever-rolling Fedora from the release-based RHEL, but Fedora has aged enough to be viewed as an entity by itself and we can drop the "Test" term. Using "normal" terms should help combat the "RHEL Alpha" and 'RHEL Alpha experimental" image problem (Fixes P3). C. Once Fedora hits RC, only bug fixes go into the tree. No last minute 2.6.39 kernel that break Anaconda, SCSI, and USB two days before the release. Nada. New features can always enter the tree as updates once the release ISOs have been sent. Here's a mock Fedora release schedule: T-4 Months: Alpha1 T-X Months: AlphaX T-1 Months: Beta T-3 weeks: RC1 - Tree go into lock mode. T-1.5 weeks: RC2 T+n weeks: unexpected RC3. T: release. Part time. - Gilboa

unowned directory problem with /etc/logrotate.d
by Hans de Goede 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi all, Many packages drop config files for logrotate in /etc/logrotate.d. without requiring logrotate, which is the owner of /etc/logrotate.d, thus potentially leading to an unowned /etc/logrotate.d for users who don't want logrotate and thus remove it. I see 2 solutions for this: 1) Add "Requires: logrotate" to all packages which put files in /etc/logrotate.d. IMHO this is not good as the user should be able to choose if he wants logrotate or not. 2) Add /etc/logrotate.d to the filesystem package, this is my preferred solution. I would like to hear what others think, before filing a bug against filesystem requesting 2) . Regards, Hans
