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

kernel/accounting question ...
by William W. Austin 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

(I know that this question might be more reasonable on a kernel list, but a while back I posted the question twice and got no answers.) The acct struct is defined in /usr/include/sys/acct.h includes both ac_io and ac_rw for bytes transferred and blocks read or written, respectively. Fair and good - works (on paper) similarly to unix, solaris, hp-ux, etc. However, in the kernel code [kernel/acct.c], ac_io (char) and ac_rw (blocks) are always set to 0 by these two lines: ac.ac_io = encode_comp_t(0 /* current->io_usage */); ac.ac_rw = encode_comp_t(ac.ac_io / 1024); For most purposes, this probably wouldn't be an issue, but I also do extensive performance analysis on several platforms and have written a fairly compresive accounting package (as a wraparound for psacct or as a standalone) including both an improved acctcom and a built-in reporter for it. Does anyone know wby the kernel zero's out the bytes transferred data? (Overhead comes to mind.) Not that it makes a huge differnce for my purposes (I had to write some wraparound code to make a "best-guestimate" about the data I'm missing), but curiosity is bugging me now. When I compile my program on other OS's I get useful data for char and block i/o and I'd like to find out whether there is something obvious that I'm just totally missing here...).

Self-Introduction: Denis Ovsienko and /etc/net project
by Denis Ovsienko 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Denis Ovsienko Russia, Moscow Linux system administrator and developer ValueCommerce/Russia I develop /etc/net project (http://etcnet.org) and my goal is to integrate it into Fedora Core. I am a member of ALTLinux Team. /etc/net is already integrated into ALTLinux development tree and should soon be seen in 3.0 version. I know that ArchLinux has /etc/net in its repository. IDMS Linux did so too, but i haven't heard from them for last months. My skills include 6 years Linux experience, several programming languages, 5 years of mixed software development and system/network administration and so on, but I guess it's not related much to my goal now. I have reviewed current initscripts buglist. Some bugs are not bugs in /etc/net: #65114 RFE: ifup-aliases iproute support, ifup/ifup-aliases scop... #75390 it would be nice to tie bandwidth shaping into the networ... #129820 initscripts maclist patch #132252 Request for addition of routing rule config file #132912 No additional IP addresses at ethX without aliased devices #132925 initscripts use old ifconfig instead of iproute2 #154348 Adds support for WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) to the ifup... #168990 No ifup-gre/ifdown-gre scripts. #170884 MTU of ethernet card can't be set before interface is up #171763 Enhancement to initscripts Some bugs gave me ideas how to improve /etc/net: #59114 .d-style scripts for ifup/ifdown #119952 RFE: Add hook for "local" network initialization #124045 Support setting a metric on interface routes The whole process, if we don't face some unexpected problems, should take 3 to 6 months. What I need: 1. Ability to advocate patches (sometimes heavy) to about 10-20 FC packages. 2. Probably some help with documentation. How can we start? pub 1024D/6D1844F2 2002-11-11 Key fingerprint = AF2F DDAE 7EB3 4699 09FF F0FC 00B1 6D41 6D18 44F2 uid Denis Ovsienko <linux(a)pilot.org.ua> uid Denis Ovsienko (http://pilot.org.ua) <pilot(a)altlinux.ru> sub 2048g/57B7ACBE 2002-11-11 -- DO4-UANIC

Re: To NX or not to NX
by Louis Garcia 01 Mar '07

I just checked my laptop which is a core2duo with 1 gig of ram. WinXP reports PAE but fc6 installed non-PAE kernel. Would the PAE kernel be better for me or should I stick with the non-PAE?

[ANNOUNCE]: FC6 ia64 ISOs available
by Prarit Bhargava 27 Feb '07

I've built a set of FC6 ia64 ISOs (CD set and DVD) which are available for download from ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/fedora/ 9aea82e31ace9ceb3e5aba210f4cda14 FC6GOLD-ia64-disc1.iso c3b3dd2e4cc0e4c60e4589532e79b4b4 FC6GOLD-ia64-disc2.iso 093b5aa79be4cd9ab8aff6f743df9fec FC6GOLD-ia64-disc3.iso f90baccedc2a1d5b1a0582649235691f FC6GOLD-ia64-disc4.iso afcfa7f9d6b47b2f78107dcbcce63eef FC6GOLD-ia64-disc5.iso 88ad15a45ca9dad378636cf572f4be03 FC6GOLD-ia64-DVD.iso (Click on Download on left-hand side, and then the FC6 directory) These are labelled as FC6GOLD to differentiate them from the broken sets that Yanmin attempted to release last week. md5sums are provided. We have verified CD, DVD, NFS, http, ftp installs on various HP & SGI boxes. Please remember that FC6 ia64 is _unsupported_ by Fedora. You can file bugs, but be sure to file them against the devel branch of Fedora Core. Also, add "fedora-ia64" to the "blocks" field of the BZ. P.

anaconda update time needs to be improved
by dragoran 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hello I have updated 3 boxes from FC5->FC6 (x86_64) using anaconda (booted from a DVD). All three of them is nothing that can be called a slow machine: 1) AMD64 3000+ @ 4100+ (2.61ghz) 1024MB RAM 7200 RPM 2MB Cache IDE Seagate HDD 120GB 2) Laptop: Core 2 Duo T7400 2x2.17Ghz 4MB shared L3 Cache 2048MB RAM 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA Hitatchi HDD 80GB 3) AMD Opteron 170 @ 2x2.7Ghz 2048MB RAM 2x120GB Hitatchi SATAII HDD 8MB Cache MD RAID0 Update time was ~90-120min depending on the sys. Why does the update take that long? A reinstall is much faster.. I think that improving this should be a goal for FC7 Also why isn't it possible to install from a md raid partition? Should I fill a RFE?

Switching to ncurses
by Bernardo Innocenti 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Are we still planning to completely replace termcap with ncurses in Fedora? While I welcome reducing the number of dupe packages, I'm worried by the impact of this change on the size and performance of many core programs. libncurses is much bigger than libtermcap, and also has oddly large .bss and .data sections: bender:/[1/0]# size /lib64/libncurses.so.5 /lib64/libtermcap.so.2 text data bss dec hex filename 319006 56608 3592 379206 5c946 /lib64/libncurses.so.5 10483 788 112 11383 2c77 /lib64/libtermcap.so.2 this is going to impact very negatively on the RSS of several critical programs such as bash and python. I'm also worried that the overall time required spent for a fork may increase considerably. But maybe ncurses can easily be fixed to avoid global data and buffers? -- // Bernardo Innocenti - Develer S.r.l., R&D dept. \X/ http://www.develer.com/

Can we make readahead more robust to package updates?
by Jef Spaleta 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Okay its come to my attention that the readahead configs have a difficult time being kept in sync as package updates roll out. For fc6 right now for example readahead is out of sync with firefox libraries. Can we update readahead's implementation so we can get per package control of the default configs? Is a readahead.d/ structure appropriate here? I want to point out that we lose significant value with read-ahead if we can't ensure that the listings will be in-sync as package updates are issued. And re-spinning readahead updates periodically to attempt to sync a centralized config file is horrible inefficient and may never be perfectly in-sync considering the churn of updates during a release cycle. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203329 -jef

Announcing LHCP - Linux Hardware Compatibility Project
by Phil Knirsch 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hello everyone. We've recently started working on a project called Linux Hardware Compatibility Project or in short LHCP. Goals are: * Provide a list of working hardware for people wanting to buy a new computer * Provide an idea on what hardware our/your distribution in run on * Provide a list of hardware we need to improve support for * Provide an interface to all above that allows simple and complicated queries * Get the user a list of thing that should work and a way to test that * Tell the user how good his hardware is supported There have been several Hardware Compatibility lists from vendors and other projects in the past, but most of them were limited in one aspect or another - so we start our own. To achive this we are building a modular framework to generate, collect, submit and analyze information about all components of systems running Linux and how well each component works. The project is currently in it's infancy, but following the typical pragmatic approach of open source projects ("Release early, release often!") we've decided to already officially announce it. Current status is that the basic GUI application for testing is up and running with some test modules. We're now in the process of writing the first real data collection and test modules and are currently starting to design the server end of the side. The home page of the project can be found here: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/LHCP If you want to take a look at the current source code you can checked it out using Mercurial in read only mode like this: hg clone http://hg.fedoraproject.org/hg/hosted/LHCP For development discussions a mailing list has been set up here: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/lhcp-devel Although the project is hosted under Fedora we're aiming it to be very distribution independant, so supporting other distributions should be easy to do. We have some basic requirements on what is needed on the system for it to simply work, but a lot of things will be optional. Happy hacking, Read ya, Phil & Fabi -- Philipp Knirsch | Tel.: +49-711-96437-470 Development | Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH | Email: Phil Knirsch <phil(a)redhat.de> Hauptstaetterstr. 58 | Web: http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart Motd: You're only jealous cos the little penguins are talking to me.

Smolt: Fedora Hardware Profiler
by Mike McGrath 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hey guys, smolt is in a state now where it can be released and tested by the general public. Currently smolt-firstboot has firstboot integration with opt in/out. My question for the dev's is: Do we as a community want to include this by default in Fedora 7? For more information on smolt see: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/smolt/wiki and https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/smolt/wiki/Scope Current stats can be found at: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/stats You can have your machine send its stats by installing smolt with yum and typing "smoltSendProfile" *Note: this is not LHCP, which is going to be a much larger project. Smolt has a much smaller scope and will ultimately (hopefully) be replaced by LHCP when it is ready. -Mike

Adding modules to Fedora's kernel package
by Topher 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Is there a standard process for getting things added to Fedora's kernel package. In particular, I'm interested in the hdaps modules (IBM's Hard Drive Active Protection System). I believe it has been in the stable kernel since 2.6.14. Or, am I just thinking about this wrong. Do uncommon modules not go in the kernel package? Do they usually get packaged separately? -- Topher Fischer GnuPG Fingerprint: 3597 1B8D C7A5 C5AF 2E19 EFF5 2FC3 BE99 D123 6674 javert42(a)cs.byu.edu

export restrictions in EULA
by Jason Corley 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

I'm not sure what list this is really appropriate for, so apologies if this is the wrong forum. I noticed that the Fedora EULA still include notes about export restrictions, specifically: "... understands that certain of the software are subject to export controls under the U.S. Commerce Departments Export Administration Regulations (EAR) ..." Cuba, Iran, North Korea, etc. are all restricted areas. Out of curiosity how is that being enforced on the Fedora infrastructure end, and how is that restriction handling passed to mirrors? Is each mirror required to implement their own set of restrictions? Does a Fedora mirror server in Canada (or some other non-restricted country) sidestep that issue? If so, doesn't that basically make the EULA clause moot (from a once the dam is broken kinda perspective)? Jason

Spyware, smolt, yum
by Chris Schumann 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

I read that the number of machines using Fedora is being counted from their use of getting updates with yum. FC6 sets this up by default, with no instruction or permission to me, nor any notice or question to me. Is it spyware, by your definition? (Where you = anyone.)

Enabling SELinux Alert notification
by Daniel Yek 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi, I read about FC6 ships with SELinux alert notification tool, but I couldn't get it to work. After installing FC6 in full, I didn't find the alert tool installed. (I had problem with FirstBoot; workaround found; then my rpm database corrupted after the first update; it was restored. Newbie would really find it not easy, unless they are good at searching for solution on the web. But that is a different story...) I read a few web pages and figured out the package to install, so this is what I had done: # yum install setroubleshoot I started the service: #/etc/init.d/setroubleshoot start I didn't get notification when I copied a file from my home directory to apache html directory and attempted to access the file. I got "403 Forbidden" error page, but there is no notification. I tried the following commands, but they didn't work with root privilege: # /usr/bin/sealert -b could not attach to desktop process, running standalone # /usr/bin/sealert could not attach to desktop process With user privilege, I can start the setroubleshoot browser, but it couldn't access /var/log/messages as expected. What am I missing? Thanks for your help. -- Daniel Yek

Kernel symbol addresses in System.map do not match kernel
by Ralf Ertzinger 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi. I noticed today that the symbol addresses given in /boot/System.map-<kernelversion> do not match the running kernel (given that the running kernel and System.map match, of course). Example: $ uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.19-1.2914.fc7 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 18:42:25 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ grep do_execve /boot/System.map-2.6.19-1.2914.fc7 c107d1a0 T do_execve $ grep do_execve /proc/kallsyms c047d1a0 T do_execve $ The address from /proc/kallsyms is the correct one. Is this intentional in some way?

F7 Test1 Delayed
by Jesse Keating 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

by a couple of days. A kernel issue (new sysfs breakage), anaconda (pkgorder was wrong), and some comps issues conspired to delay our Test 1 release. Instead of releasing today (which you probably noticed we didn't do), we'll be releasing on Thursday, provided the mirrors had enough time to sync it up. At this time, we are not altering any other schedule dates. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora

Anaconda ignores version-specific kernel dependencies
by Ed Swierk 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

As I mentioned a while back, I'm using a Kickstart script to point Anaconda at a number of additional yum repositories, including fedora-updates as well as a local repository of homegrown packages. I then install just one package (Arora), which requires a bunch of others for our development environment. In particular, Arora depends on a specific kernel version (for compatibility with a number of homegrown kernel-module packages): Requires: kernel = 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 This worked fine as long as 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 was the latest FC6 kernel. But since then, a newer kernel, 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6, has appeared in the fedora-updates repository. Anaconda now really wants to install the latest kernel package, ignoring the Arora package's dependency on the older one. The result is a bit of a mess: - only kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 is actually installed - grub.conf contains entries for both kernels - kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 is the default entry in grub.conf (resulting in a "file not found" on boot) - there is no initrd for kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 - the grub.conf entry for kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 has "-up" appended (not sure if this means anything, as it ends up running in smp mode) As a workaround, if I add an explicit %packages entry in my Kickstart script, all is well: kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 (Actually, Anaconda still ends up installing kernel-headers-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6, but I can live with that.) So the point of this long-winded explanation is to ask whether what I'm trying to do ought to work, or whether there is another way to accomplish the same result: installing a particular kernel version without having to edit my Kickstart script every time package dependencies are modified. It looks like selectBestKernel() in yuminstall.py is a tricky piece of code, so I'd like to know whether this is the right approach before fiddling with the logic. --Ed

WorldWide Review Days this weekend
by Kevin Fenzi 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Fedora Worldwide Review Days As part of the upcoming merge of Fedora Core and Fedora Extras, and in concert with FudconBoston, the Fedora project is happy to announce the Fedora Worldwide Review days. Whats a Review Day? A Review day is a day where interested parties gather on irc (or in person at FudconBoston) and review a number of Fedora packages that are awaiting review. Each package will be checked against the current Fedora package guidelines. All of the formerly Fedora Core packages will be up for review this weekend. Why have a review Day? * All the formerly Fedora Core packages will need to be reviewed and checked for compliance with the latest guidelines. If you have ever seen packaging problems with your favorite package, now might be a good time to assist reviewing it. * Interested parties will know to meet other reviewers on a central irc channel or in person at FudconBoston. * Questions about reviews or procedures can be answered quickly on channel. Input on core package reviews can be sent to the package maintainer as part of the review. Where are the Wordwide Review Days? Worldwide Review Days will be done via IRC on the irc.freenode.net IRC network, in channel #fedora-extras. Additionally there will be a number of reviewers and members of the Fedora packaging Commitee physically present at the HackFest sessions after FudconBoston, as well as available on IRC to answer questions or provide assistance. See: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThorstenLeemhuis/HackFest If you are available and would like to be invited to the physical HackFest in Boston. When will the Worldwide Review Days be held? The Worldwide Review days will be this Saturday and Sunday (2007-02-03 and 2007-02-04), starting around 9:30am EST. See: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThorstenLeemhuis/HackFest for more on the schedule. How does it work? Simply join the irc channel. Folks there will be able to point you to a list of packages needing review. If you are a Fedora Maintainer already you should be able to review and approve packages from that list once you are sure they meet all the guidelines. If you are not currently a Fedora Maintainer, you can still provide valuable input on reviews and help us make all our packages better. Note that many people check IRC only every once in a while. Don't be discouraged if you don't see an immediate reply. Ask your question and leave your IRC window open to collect replies as people have time to do so. Also, it's better to ask your questions and wait than to ask if anyone is there or if you can ask questions.

kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 dies. do_IRQ
by Naoki 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Sorry for the cross-post (fedora-list) but I'm wondering if any help is required in debugging? This locks my IBM x3550 : "do_IRQ: 0.177 No irq handler for vector" I need a power cycle after that. Messages file reveals.. Not much really : Jan 30 20:32:10 localhost kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev autofs, type autofs), uses genfs_contexts Jan 30 20:32:10 localhost last message repeated 2 times Jan 30 20:32:10 localhost kernel: do_IRQ: 0.177 No irq handler for vector Looking around I find Mr Andrew Morton on the case, which is a relief. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/22/121 It's being seen on 16-core systems, I'm running only a four core box though. Doesn't look like a patch is out yet so my original plan of trying Rawhide probably will not help. Current rawhide kernel is 2.6.19-1.2914.fc7. I have not (yet?) had the problem on 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6. It only seems to be a problem in the 2.6.19 kernel IRQ handling?

2.6.19.2 IPv6 ND broken because ff02::1 not joined
by Pekka Savola 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi, FC6 updates-testing kernel based on 2.6.19.2 (kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6) seems to have a broken IPv6 stateless address autoconf. The previous, successfully tested version was based on 2.6.18.5 (kernel-2.6.18-1.2860.fc6). The problem appears to be that the host is not joining the all-nodes multicast address (ff02::1) [netstat -g -n], so the IP layer isn't processing the received router advertisements even though you can see them with tcpdump. The solicited node mcast address is joined though. Loopback interface doesn't join ff02::1 either. linux-2.6-xen.patch at least seems to be making some modifications to IPv6 ND code, but I didn't look closely enough if that's the culprit. If it matters, the network adapter is Realtek 8139. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks. Security. -- George R.R.

Problems trying to make a pungi fc7 test 1 spin

Whenever i try to run pungi (0.2.1-1), either straight from command line, or following the directions on 'running pungi in mock', i get the following error: Downloading openoffice.org-calc-2.1.0-6.13.i386.rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pungi", line 166, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/pungi", line 95, in main mygather.downloadPackages() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pypungi/gather.py", line 194, in downloadPackages os.link(local, os.path.join(pkgdir, os.path.basename(remote))) OSError: [Errno 17] File exists Anyone have any idea how to get past this hurdle?

status of Build system for merged Core and Extras
by Marius Andreiana 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi, I did a rawhide install and noticed Core and Extras are still separate. Could this page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureNewBuildSystem?highlight=% 28CategoryFedora7Features%29 be updated with current status, including adding tasks which could be taken by community, if any besides testing? Pungi depends on it and this http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureUsePungi?highlight=% 28CategoryFedora7Features%29 says there will be a pre-test1 release, but with current status and schedule it's hard to see that happen. Thanks, -- Marius Andreiana http://marius.andreiana.googlepages.com

kernel versionning problem
by Eric Tanguy 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

I sent this message to fedora-list(a)redhat.com but i had no reaction so i try also the devel one because i find this is problem we have to solve for the core and extras merge, no ? I'm tired to have problems with rt2500 driver at each new fedora kernel release because the versionning seems to not follow standards : http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2965 What do you think about this ? Someone have similar problems with other modules ? Eric

Re: /etc/init.d in the default $PATH ?
by Traian Gheorghe ONCIU 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

> So, what it the rationale for /etc/init.d not being in the default > $PATH, for root at least? > Very very bad idea. Imagine only this: look at /sbin/iptables and /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables (or /etc/init.d/iptables, since /etc/init.d is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d). You want to run iptables binary (elf) and you launch iptables service, that's call /sbin/iptables to initialize IP tables with default values (using /etc/sysconfig/iptables for all default values you need). I have also this question in the past, but I've found myself that this idea is wrong, so I create symlinks to all the service I need naming with 'rc-' before their names (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network become, as symlink, rc-network). __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ing.

Fedora Server Spin
by David Lutterkort 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

I created an initial skeleton list of packages[1] for the Fedora Serevr spin [2]. The list was generated by looking at all the packages ('server packages') in current Core and Extras Rawhide that own a file in /etc/rc.d/init.d or /etc/init.d. The list is a first attempt at getting a package list together and needs a lot more love from everybody; once this list is complete we'll look at adding supporting packages like system-config-* and sendmail-cf. I classified all the server packages in one of three groups: Maybe, Include, and Exclude. Things landed in Exclude mainly because they either were game servers or because they seemed only useful on a desktop. Packages in Maybe seem like they should be excluded, but I am not sure. Anybody interested in Fedora Server should have a look at the package list and let me know if they think a package should be classified differently; for the Maybe group, I'd appreciate comments on whether the packages should be included or not (e.g., should FSS support dynamic DNS and include the various clients for dyndns.org etc. ?)

New VCS Choice; SCM SIG
by Toshio Kuratomi 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Hey all, Infrastructure, Extras, and the Board have had sporadic talks about changing over from cvs to another version control system and what that entails. Part of the discussions during the fedora-summit showed that we can reimplement dist-cvs in another VCS (for instance, dist-hg) with minimal change in workflow but there are some higher level questions about what things we want to make easy that we should answer first. The SCM SIG [1]_ is responsible for driving this discussion and as part of that, we're soliciting input on what our high level goals are. Here's an initial list of questions that need to be answered.

Install about 12 min quicker today
by Jerry Williams 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

The install is about 12 min. quicker today for the default install. Using pxe boot and NFS. And I can now ssh into the box from a remote machine. :) Thanks! Other things like Take Screenshot are still broken. What is that chance to swap a couple of screens? So when you are at the screen that lets you select the packages and you click next that it just takes you to the next screen that tells you about the log in /root. Then when you click next it would do the dependency check and if no errors just continue the install. Also is there a reason that all the keys just don't get imported? I keep getting the guetenprint update and it asks for the RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-extras key to be imported. Then again maybe this key should go away, since extras is. Jerry

State of diskless tools
by Bernardo Innocenti 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Hello Jason, I've just posted a patch to update system-config-netboot to generate initramfs images to bootstrap diskless clients: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204877 I noticed that for the system-config-netboot component there were several trivial bugs that have been open for several momths without any activity going on. The latest update of system-config-netboot has been on Jun 2006. Is this package still being actively maintained? And, more importantly, is RedHat still interested in pushing and supporting diskless clients in the next versions of RHEL? I'm asking because, depending on the level of support we can expect, I may have to recommend different solutions for the IT department. -- // Bernardo Innocenti - Develer S.r.l., R&D dept. \X/ http://www.develer.com/

KDE4 being packaged
by Chitlesh GOORAH 28 Jan '07

Hai you all :) Well, I just started packaging kde4 based on kevinkoefler's work. Some friends are porting kde3 apps to kde4, so why not give them the minimum tools needed ? kevinkoefler SRPMS are http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kde-redhat/kdelibs4-3.80.2-0.1.2… http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kde-redhat/kdepimlibs4-3.80.2-0.… http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kde-redhat/kdebase4-3.80.2-0.1.2… My modifications : http://chitlesh.funpic.de/fedora/kde4_11_27.tar.bz2 (I don't have a place to upload the SRPMS :( ) 1. the svn snapshot are from 20061003, neither kevin nor I got the time to update the snapshots. However my priority is just first get a working set of kde4 packages. 2. the specs don't have the patches inorder to integrate these packages to the fedora desktop. ThanNgo accepted to offer his help to. 3. SRPMs from my specs haven't undergo mock till now. 4. kde4 is installed on /opt/kde4 and kevin made so to co-existe kde3 and kde4 at the same time 5. the kde4.desktop doesn't load kde4 desktop upon login because it seeks its libkde*.so.5 at /usr/lib instead of /opt/kde4/lib I would like to have more light on this #5 in order to make it just work for once :) here is my /usr/share/xsessions/kde4.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession export KDEDIR=/opt/kde4 export PATH=/opt/kde4/bin/:$PATH export KDEHOME=~/.kde4 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$/opt/kde4/lib/:$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/kde4/lib Exec=/opt/kde4/bin/startkde TryExec=/opt/kde4/bin/startkde Name=KDE4 Comment=The K Desktop Environment.

Inclusion of Grub 2 in FC7 ?
by Jerone Young 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

I was wondering how everyone felt about the possibility of including Grub 2 in FC7. While it still is in development, it is very much functional and does currently work. This would have the potential to allow unification of boot loaders across all architecture (PPC & EFI Intel boxes come to mind). This may also kick start development on Grub 2, so it's not under development forever. The downfall though is that it does use a new file format & tools would need to be modified to support it. What does everyone else think? For info on grub 2: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2-faq.en.html

Any plans to add support for new features of laptops targeting Vista?
by Miles Lane 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Hello, This article introduces a bunch of new laptop technologies that Microsoft is supporting in Vista. According to the article, these technologies will result in shortened boot times, less power consumption in hard drives, the ability to have commonly used files stay resident in non-volatile memory for rapid program launches, etc. These technologies all have a hardware component in addition to the software side. My hope is that we can figure out how to have Linux benefit from these hardware changes. Power management on laptops remains an area where Linux is challenged, though it is improving. Is there any hardware specs are out there for these new chunks of hardware? Here's an article discussing the new gizmos: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/01/23/windows_vista_laptops/page3.html Miles

Please put pxelinux.0 in /images/pxeboot/
by Jerry Williams 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

Could someone please add pxelinux.0 to /images/pxeboot/? I am not sure how often it changes, but it is kind of a pain to get it out of syslinux. Is pxelinux.0 a generic thing or does it have to match everything else? Also is there a reason that stage2.img couldn't just be loaded from the tftp server in the first place instead of having to use NFS, ftp, or http? Especially if you are just doing a rescue?

Compiz vs. OpenGL using programs
by Ralf Ertzinger 26 Jan '07

Hi. Before I start filing bugs: is it expected that using compiz while running applications that use OpenGL themselves results in funny display programs? Or is this supposed to work and not doing so is a driver bug?

FC6, 2.6.19-1.2895, and suspend
by Joshua Baker-LePain 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

It seems that the the upgrade to 2.6.19 has killed suspend for some folks on FC6 (BZ #223731). On my Thinkpad Z61t, the panel goes dark and then the moon symbol starts blinking and never stops (I have to hard reset it). The last entry in the log is: kernel: Disabling non-boot CPUs ... For grins, I tried the PAE kernel, but it appears to just ignore pm-suspend. What other information would be helpful in tracking this down? Thanks. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University

NewInit and red plans ( aka "is it true that redhat linux is not unix" )
by Bela Pesics 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

Just out of curiosity, isn't redhat interested in this feature? It's alright if not, before someone briefs me on the joyful relationship of red and the community. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureNewInit?highlight=%28Category… Btw. does redhat have plans, long term strategy or case studies about the detrimental effect of traditional unix leftovers? At the current state rhel5 and the ongoing fc branch seemingly enjoys this tradition, and there's no sign of real change. Is this indeed the future? Bela

"yum update" failure and resulting cleanup headaches.
by Naoki 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

This question seems to come up a lot. And the fedora-list usually has somebody asking how to recover from it. When 'yum' fails for whatever reason there will be some part of the 'cleanup' phase left undone. At which point the manual repair of the RPM DB needs to take place, a long and tedious task. At best even if you have the procedure as a (almost) single command line, it can be annoying. Any official plans to have yum gracefully recover from a failed update?

tmp cleanup
by Ron Johnson 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Hello, I've not contributed directly to Fedora before, but have a small change I'd like to make. I think this is the place to find out more about doing that. I'd like a hook in rc.sysinit to do local /tmp cleanup on boot. I already do things like this all the time on my system, but: 1. Every time I update, if the original file changed, and is updated, the update is rpmsave (or similar), and I then need to compare versions every time. 2. Every time I reinstall (usually once a year) I have to go back an re-edit a core system file (and then see (1) above sometime later). 3. I think others have messy /tmp directories too. The change to rc.sysinit is these three lines (although it would have to be different if merged into the distribution, this is just what's in mine now): if [ -x /usr/local/bin/tmpcleanup ]; then /usr/local/bin/tmpcleanup fi * The file 'tmpcleanup' merely creates a subdirectory in /tmp, based on the date/time, and moves everything currently in tmp into the new dir. * Exceptions are that it doesn't move files that appear to be prior dirs cleaned up already with tmpcleanup. * Again, nothing gets deleted, only moved, but it's easy to tell what files are almost certainly not needed anymore. * The script (only?) runs at system boot. At least it helps me keep /tmp clean, or at least less cluttered. Now, having said all that, I'd be happy to submit the tmpcleanup script (perl), I'd be happy to submit the changes to rc.sysinit, but how should I go about doing that? I've not used CVS before, I don't know how to build RPM's. I just run my system, and help with others, and thought I'd see about submitting a small change that helps me out. My suspicion is that the best thing is to submit a change so that a directory is created, called "rc.sysinit.d" in /etc/rc.d, and in the rc.sysinit dir, create subdirectories that are called (much like rc1.d, etc) at certain points. For instance, have a hook that is called when local filesystems are mounted. But I might be getting ahead of myself with that. My aim is to have one less thing to customize when I re-do a system. Comments? -Ron

Long term PIM solution
by Anuj Verma (Kevin) 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Hello list, In this email subject mentions "PIM". I consider following types of application to make a true Personal Information Manager: 1. Email, 2. Address books, 3. Calendring, 4. Task Manager, 5. NNTP client 6. Phone/PDA sync apps My focus is GNOME, as KDE is very sound for the same by now. We had seen Mozilla/Firefox engines became a very useful base to various independent web-browser applications. I will like to know some point of views here, to know if Thunderbird can also be useful in the same way as Mozilla/Firefox, for a good long term PIM solution ? What is Fedora project vision to deliver a stable well integrated PIM solution targeted to GNOME environment ? Cheers, Kevin

I see you are well familiar with this issue. When I try "alsactl power", I get "alsactl: Unknown command 'power'..." so I don't think that will work for me. I'd also like this to work for anyone who wants to install Fedora on their 600X. It was a very popular machine in its day, so there are a lot of them out there. How can I help make this easier for those folks? (and of course, I will probably install Fedora on them myself quite a few more times) And once again, is there a bug in the sound driver that needs to be crushed? Chris

experimental boost-1.34.0-0.5 rpms
by Benjamin De Kosnik 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

I've uploaded a src.rpm for boost-1.34.0, yet unreleased, to my people page. http://people.redhat.com/bkoz/boost-1.34.0/ I'm hoping to get some feedback on this rpm, and boost packaging changes, before checking this in to rawhide. In addition, I'm curious to see if there is anybody who would like to help maintain this package. Neal? Changes: 1) switch to boost build v2, attempt to remove as many build patches as possible. 2) building/distributing the -mt variants, and the resulting library name changes for libboost_thread to libboost_thread-mt. Unresolved: 1) More regression failures than acceptable, IMHO. Waiting for the final release seems like a good idea, but since that might be a while still, I thought I'd get a head start on the packaging issues. 2) boost book currently not building 3) version of SONAME, if any best, benjamin

Fedora 7 encrypted root partition
by Richard Hughes 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

Talking to a co-worker today, he mentioned that if Fedora could support [1] an encrypted root filesystem he would switch to Fedora in a heartbeat. We appear to be 99% of the way there with LUKS, and I'm pretty sure you can hack encrypted root filesystem into FC6, but it would be great to have a: Encrypt partition to protect data [X] in anaconda. Even protecting just the "home" partition would be great, although everything would be perfect. What do you think? Richard. [1] and I mean support, rather than able to hack at a random file and do lots of stuff on the console.

CNR on Fedora?
by Callum Lerwick 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

I just got this in my email: http://www.linspire.com/linspire_letter_archives.php?id=38 So Linspire is planning to port CNR to Fedora, Debian, SuSE and Ubuntu? Have they actually talked to anyone in Fedora about this yet? Doesn't really say what this entails, if its just a fancy front end to our existing repos and yum, that would be pretty sweet and possibly save us some trouble. If they're usurping our packages and repos, then we have a problem... (I'm about 500 messages behind so ignore me if this is a repost...)

Automated installation joy
by Ed Swierk 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

My company uses Fedora for its software development platform, and over time we've built up a set of packages (called "Arora") that make it easy to assimilate a vanilla Fedora box into our environment. The Arora package spec file has long list of Requires for packages like gcc and xemacs, and the %post does useful things like adding printers and enabling ntpd. The Arora-release package takes the place of fedora-release, replacing the default yum.repos.d files with ones that point to our internal Fedora mirrors. I never bothered to fully automate the install process, though. Hacking on a Kickstart script to do all sorts of fancy stuff in %post wasn't my idea of a fun day's work. And it always bugged me that Anaconda would spend all that time installing a bunch of old packages, when the first thing I do is run yum update to replace a good portion of them. Now that Anaconda uses yum and lets you configure additional repositories, this should all be much easier, right? I should just add something like this to the Kickstart file I generated with system-config-kickstart: repo --name=updates --baseurl=http://mirrors.arastra.com/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386 repo --name=extras --baseurl=http://mirrors.arastra.com/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386 repo --name=Arora --baseurl=http://dist.arastra.com/Arora/i386_6/RPMS to set up the extra repositories, and install a minimal set of packages: %packages Arora-release Arora Arora-bs Sounds too easy. Guess what? It works perfectly! I kick off the install, wander away, and when I come back in 15 minutes, the machine is up and running, fully configured for our environment with all our development tools in place. As they say in those infomercials, just set it and forget it. Great work, Anaconda developers! --Ed

Sound on ThinkPad 600X
by Chris Schumann 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Hello all, I have three IBM ThinkPad 600X laptops in my home. I'd like to put Fedora on my wife's, but sound does not work after a resume (on mine, anyway). I can get sound back by logging out (gnome-session holds the module open), rmmod and modprobe in a console, and logging in. A work-around that a computer user (as opposed to tech geek) should not have to endure. There are already similar bugs in bugzilla on this topic, but should I file another one on this particular hardware? (snd_cs46xx, I believe) Chris

Support for mysql++ in Fedora?
by Bruce Keats 23 Jan '07

I noticed that FC5, FC6, etc support mysql 5. There also appears to be perl support for mysql 5. Are there any plans to add mysql++ library support in FC5, FC6 or future Fedora releases? Bruce

Q: Howto rapidly develop/test without breaking local rpm db
by Saikat Guha 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Q: I want to fix bugs in/hack software I use (evolution, gaim, network-manager, compiz etc.). I typically have RPMs installed. What is the easiest way to have a development environment and a quick debug-compile-test loop without breaking the local RPM DB. * In particular, patching the .src.rpm and RPM rebuilding for each debug-compile loop is a definite no (too slow). * Similarly, 'sudo make install' is likely not an option (breaks local rpm tracking). * Per-package 'configure --prefix=..' is okay but requires chasing down application nuances (some need global gconf updated, some try to load plugins from outside the build tree, other applications and desktop-shortcuts need to be changed to point to the patched version etc.) * chroot jail (where I am comfortable doing a 'make install') seems too heavy weight. How do I rapidly develop/test on an RPM-managed box? cheers, -- Saikat

diskboot.img Documentation problems
by Jerry Williams 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

Not sure if this is really the right group to post this to. The docs need more work and maybe some packages need some changes as well. http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/install-guide/fc6/en/sn-preparing-usb-media.ht ml I would suggest changing anaconda-runtime /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime-mk-images.x86 to change the README that goes into /images/README to have a link to the installation guide. The installation guide really isn't correct when it comes to using the diskboot.img file. Should almost include /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.31/README.usbkey in the installation guide. It might have worked fine for a floppy, but the usb device has a partition table and the image doesn't include the partition table, just a file system. So to use the command dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdd is not correct. WARNING!!! WARNING!!! Be very careful using these commands! You could erase your hard drive! You need to use dmesg to find out what the name of your usb device is. I am using /dev/sdd which might cause problems it that is not your usb device or is your normal hard drive device name. The instructions I have seen look something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd /usr/lib/syslinux/mkdiskimage -4 /dev/sdd 0 64 32 which creates the /dev/sdd4 partition Then dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdd4 works fine. Or /usr/lib/syslinux/mkdiskimage /dev/sdd 0 64 32 dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdd1 The problem that I see is that if you have a large usb device it can take a long time to write zeros over the whole thing and then format the whole thing just to turn around and write a small file system over it. This is where the small 16MB flash card that came with your camera is a good thing to use in a usb adaptor. :) If all that needs to happen is to wipe out the partition table on the drive then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd count=1 works fine. You should look at /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.31 to help figure out the numbers for mkdiskimage if you have a large usb flash drive. /usr/lib/syslinux/mkdiskimage /dev/sdd 13 64 32 is much quicker and has enough room for diskboot.img image. But may not work on all devices. I had problems with a 1GB device.

expat 2.0 ?
by Michel Salim 21 Jan '07

21 Jan '07

Hi, I noticed when trying out the pre-built binaries for Chandler that Fedora still ships expat-1.95.8, while 2.0.0 has been out since January 2006. Is there a reason for this? I could not find any mention of this in the mailing list archive, but I apologise if this has been discussed before. On a slightly unrelated note, FLAC has also not been updated (bz #222946) Regards, -- Michel Salim http://hircus.wordpress.com/ My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. -- Christopher Morley

images and isolinux directories
by Jerry Williams 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

I have searched and searched and there is a lot of noise on the internet about pieces and parts about the files in theses directories. I have found short how to's on how to change them some. But I have yet to find how and from what they are created in the first place. Normal rpm's have src.rpm's Is there a src.rpm for these? Is there documentation on how to create them? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Rawhide installable via NFS
by Mike Chambers 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

I keep getting "server can't mount that directory" or something like that when I put in the server/dir names. And if it's not installable that way, can it be done via ftp/http at least? I don't think I've been able to do a rawhide install for a month or two. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Sex is like air, it's not important unless your not getting any!"

Hi, Since gaim-2.0.0beta6 is out and official download @ sf.net provides gaim-bonjour rpm (fc5 only?), is it good enough to be enabled by default in fedora? Thanks! -- bbbush ^_^

Fedora Tracker is in need of a new home
by Brad Smith 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hello all, Since its creation, I have used the same $10/mo web host for Fedora Tracker. However, as the number of repositories indexed has grown, the update process has begun to involve longer and longer periods of nontrivial memory and cpu usage, which my hosting company can no longer justify devoting to a single customer. Does anyone have server space they would be willing to donate to Fedora Tracker? Requirements would be MySQL 5.x and Python >= 2.4, plus shell access for me. sudo privs would be helpful but are not necessary. Any takers? --Brad

Fedora 7 vs 6 installation
by Jerry Williams 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

I have been installing Fedora Core 6 on a few machines and I would like to suggest some changes. I should have been more involved with 6 and then maybe it would have been better. So I am trying to get involved with 7 in the hopes that it will happen. I think my biggest complaint about the 6 install is the time it takes to do the package dependency check and that you have to click okay to start the install. I would like to see maybe a check box to fix this. That says: continue with install if everything it okay. So you could check the box and walk away. The other thing that kind of bugs me is the resolution that is used for the display. The default seems way high. I am thinking that it would be better to start with 800x600 or 1024x768 and then let the user bump it up it they would like. I have had a few systems that it was all I could do to get into it to change the resolution. Other things that would be nice. Be able to enter domain suffix search list at same time entering name servers. I would prefer to select selinux and firewall config up front. And enter ntp info with the name servers. Far out wish list: Be able to do a headless install. Put DVD in drive and a floppy with config or usb flash drive and have system boot and look for files on floppy or usb flash drive for the config or maybe use some network protocol to get the config information it needs. So it would lay out the drive and set network and time config and root password and maybe second account and do a basic install that would allow you to remotely connect and add other packages. I have also thought about doing more of a 2 pass install. With 6 you pretty much install everything then reboot and do a few final things. What happens if you make the first pass install very minimal and then have the second pass do most of the work like updating packages. Maybe you just get to chose KDE or Gnome and on the first pass. I would also be nice to be able to clone a machine, maybe not totally, but at least the packages. Like run some command to create a file and then be able to provide that file to another system to be installed. And maybe some of these things exist now and I just need to learn about them. Thanks for your time! Jerry

Fixing startup behavior of kde net apps
by Neal Becker 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

I'd like to add the following goal for fc7: All apps that require net connection for startup should be modified to only start if a network connection is available. For example, when I login the following start: kopete kontact (kmail) akregator ksmarttray If my net connection is not up, every one of these things pops up all kinds of windows with error messages. When I brought up this issue on the NM develop list, it was mentioned that suse had modified this apps to fix this behavior. I don't know if they fed the changes upstream. I would guess that the right thing to do is to listen on dbus for network connection being up? In any case, the current behavior is awful and should be fixed.

plans for long term support releases?
by Thomas M Steenholdt 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Now that Core and Extras are going to be merged and the distro is opening up to become even more (?) community driven, has anyone played with the though of eventually releasing a long term support version of Fedora? It could be a based on a staple snapshot of Fedora 7 + 4 months worth of updates or whatever, at this point I'm more interested in hearing about the idea than the details, which will surely follow, if i'm not the only one who think this could be a good idea. Especially now that we're going to do special server spins etc... Just a thought (hope this was not brought up ages ago and I just missed it) /Thomas

Name for a FESCo Successor? Suggestions anyone?
by Thorsten Leemhuis 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Cross-posting to three lists, but follow-up set to fedora-devel, to not have the discussion on 3 lists in parallel. But I'm sure mailman will eat the manual follow up before sending the mail out again :-/ So please adjust it manually and send your replies *only* to fedora-devel ;-) tia! Hi all! FESCo in its yesterday out-of-order meeting agreed to follow the proposal I posted on fedora-advisory-board ( https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2007-January/msg00129… ) to merge the Core Cabal and FESCo into a new committee that handles the day to day work around the stuff that was formally known as Fedora Core and Fedora Extras. In other words: we integrate Jesse (aka f13) and Bill (aka notting) into FESCo (Jeremy is already part of FESCo), merge the responsibilities of both groups (and thus give it lot more to do). The Fedora Board will probably discuss the proposal in todays meeting, too. But one issue is still totally undecided and needs to be solved soon: What do we call that FESCo and Core Cabal successor? The "E" in FESCo until now stood for Extras, but soon Extras will vanish due to the merge. So hat do we want to call it? Suggestions that came up: FTC -- Fedora Technical Committee FTT -- Fedora Technical Team FET -- Fedora Engineering Team FEDCo -- Fedora Distribution Committee FESCo -- Fedora Steering Committee 42 None of the above name suggestions did receive a "yes, that's a really great idea, I like it, all the people I asked love it, thus go for it" from the people involved in the discussions. Thus with this mail we'd like to ask the community for suggestions and its option: "Which of the above names do you like most or do you have something better in mind that sounds good, is not to easily confused with other stuff from this world and roughly describes what the committee does?" CU thl P.S.: For those that missed it, I'm not FESCo's chairmen any more (but still a FESCo member) since last Thursday -- After doing the job for one year I felt that it's time for me to hand it over to someone else with fresh blood and new ideas. Brian Pepple is FESCo's interims chair now and I'm sure he'll do a great job. Please help him as good as you can -- and always keep in mind: You don't have to be in FESCo or any other committee to to help improving Fedora! P.P.S.:Ohh, some backgrounds for the proposed names: * FTC -- name clash with Federal Trade Commission. A bit bad, but seems some people don't care much about that. http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FTC&Find=find&string=… 39 meanings in total on acronym finder * FTT -- "Failure to thrive (FTT) refers to a baby or child that is not developing as well as desired." http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FTT&Find=find&string=… 12 meanings in total on acronym finder * FTT -- Field-Effect Transistor http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FET&Find=find&string=… 24 meanings in total on acronym finder * FEDSCo "Federal Employees Distributing Company (Co-Op)" http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym=FEDCo&Find=find&strin… 2 meanings on acronym finder * FESCO-- Fedora Steering Committee is to easily confused with the Board, thus probably a no-go * 42 -- Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Answer_to_Life%2C_the_Universe%2C_and_Ever…

ensure upgrade paths through fedora to RHEL?
by Patrice Dumas 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hello, As a substitute or a complement to something similar with fedora legacy, it has more or less been suggested to allow for an upgrade path to RHEL. Should we set this as an objective for fedora? It could be something like ensuring that yum update can take you to the next fedora release and then to the corresponding RHEL, without rebooting (except for kernel upgrades, of course), or changing radically configuration file. So, for example, FC6 users could upgrade to RHEL5, and FC4 users could upgrade to FC5, then FC6, then RHEL5. In such setting I don't think that we should ensure such upgrade path for all the apps, only 'critical' apps, likely to be usefull on servers, like network daemons, for example. Also we could only do that for packages that are in RHEL+EPEL. This is currently not supported, and not an explicit goal, although there are instructions for the upgrade between FC versions: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq >From reading this document, it appears that this kind of upgrade isn't possible due to kernel incompatibilities between FC4 and FC5. In case we want to ensure the upgradeability I was referring to, such situation should be avoided. Maybe this goal is too conflicting with other fedora goal, especially being bleeding edge. The big constraint is that incompatible changes which requires rebooting or changing configurations must all happen between the fedora release preceding the RHEL release and the next fedora release (in our case, all the incompatible changes should be done between FC6 and FC7). In any case I don't think we should support in any sense this kind of things, but maybe we could have this as a goal, such that maintainers have this issue in mind when they make their decisions. We could also do some tests like EVR tests similar with what is currently done for Fedora, but between the fedora version used as a base for RHEL and RHEL (in our case between FC3 and RHEL4 and FC6 and RHEL5) to ensure upgradability. And lastly we would then have to coordinate between the maintainers working on the different distros, ie between fedora and RHEL/EPEL maintainers (I guess they are more or less the same people, but maybe there may be special cases). Another thing is that I don't think this should be a short term goal. In my opinion there is already enough to be done with the merge, EPEL beginning and I guess people working on RHEL5 are busy, but maybe it could be doable to begin to experiment with such idea (if it is not immediatly rejected ;-) between RHEL5 and RHEL6 and try to make it happen for RHEL7? -- Pat

Updated Firefox 3 Roadmap
by Heiko Adams 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello guys, maybe you've noticed that the mozilla foundation has updates the planings and the roadmap for firefox 3. The most interesting fact is, that the release is scheduled at the third quater 2007. It would be interesting how this update affects the planing to provide a firefox 3 rpm for fedora core 5 & 6 users. Maybe we should think again about updating fedora's firefox to firefox 2 because afair support for firefox 1.5 ends at may 2007.

RPM and files installed
by Daniel Yek 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi, How do I make sure that files created during rpm installation are being recorded as belonging to the package? I'm not sure, but I think if rpm %post install script created some symbolic links, they might not be recorded as installed by the rpm package. (Or are they?) How RPM keeps track of files created by scripts? Does it trap system calls to record all created files and symbolic links? If not, what one needs to do to make sure that all files and symbolic links created are being accounted for properly? Thanks. -- Daniel Yek

Smarter install - Headless
by Jerry Williams 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

I have noticed that when you boot from the DVD that if you don't do anything it acts like you hit enter. How hard would it be to change that to do the following. Check to see if the system has a keyboard. If not look for a floppy with ks.cfg on it. If it finds it act like the user typed: linux ks=floppy If no floppy, look for usb device and do the same. Linux ks=usb/ks.cfg kind of thing. If no usb start network with dhcp and look for Web server linux ks=http://fedora7.<domain from dhcp>/ks.cfg Or maybe linux ks=http://fedora7.<domain from dhcp>/<mac address>.cfg If no web server then run: Linux vnc vncpassword=Fedora7 If it has a keyboard just do the normal thing. This would make it so you don't really have to change the dhcp server. Maybe add an alias for a web server. Then the install would happen and when completed would eject DVD. Take out the DVD and power cycle the box and be done.

Fedora 7
by Bill Nottingham 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

It's time to bite the bullet. There will be no more releases of Fedora Core or Fedora Extras. Wait! Where are you going? Come back! I'm serious. We've talked all along about how there should be no differences in how packages are treated whether they are in Core, or they are in Extras; no differences depending on who maintains the package. The best solution to this? Eliminate the distinction between Core and Extras entirely. Starting with Fedora 7, there is no more Core, and no more Extras; there is only Fedora. One single repository, built in the community on open source tools, assembled into whatever spins the Fedora community desires. Are we there yet right now? No. There's a lot of work to be done, and we're looking for help. What's left of the Core Steering Committee is going to work with the Fedora Board and FESCO to figure out just how this new combined repository is going to be governed and managed. In the meantime, just because we're not going to have a release of Core or Extras doesn't mean we're not going to have a release. Hence, Fedora 7. Name TBD, but probably not 'Bride of Zod'. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7 The current schedule is: 23 January 2007 | F7 Test1 development freeze 30 January 2007 | F7 Test1 Release 20 February 2007 | F7 FEATURE Freeze | F7 string freeze | F7 Test2 development freeze 27 February 2007 | F7 Test2 release 19 March 2007 | F7 translation freeze | F7 Test3 development freeze 26 March 2007 | F7 Test3 release ... Continual freeze. Only critical bugs fixed ... 5 April 2007 | Final devel freeze. 26 April 2007 | F7 General Availability And, what would a release be without features. We've identified 28 features that we'd like to include in the release, available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7/Features: - Modify the build system to support this new paradigm - Merge Core and Extras in source control - Use the new pungi tool to spin all releases - A Fedora Desktop spin - A Fedora Server spin - A Fedora KDE spin - Make LiveCDs as a part of the distribution release process - Ability to customize non-packaging distrubution parameters - Switch to libata drivers for PATA support - Speedup of bootup and shutdown - Make wireless rock-solid - Add wireless firmware for all the chipsets we can - CodecBuddy - Fixing the proliferation of dictionary packages - Support encrypted filesystems - Fast user switching in the desktop - Fix the firewire stack - Switch to a tickless kernel by default - Fix unnecessary wakeups across the distribution - Add KVM virtualization support to our tools - Investigate (but probably don't switch to) new init technologies - Add the nouveau drivers for nVidia cards - Speed up Yum and RPM - Add support for RandR 1.2 - Switch to syslog-ng - Make the update system useable by all More information on each of these features is available on the wiki, including responsible people and plans. If you'd like to chip in on these features, please, do! If you've got new features you'd like to add, and you are willing to do the work, or have the ability to get others to do the work for you, we can add them too. Note that Test2 is the feature freeze. Here's to making Fedora 7 the best release yet! Bill

Build rescue image for USB sticks
by Ralf Ertzinger 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi. How much work would be involved to create a rescue image that could be written to an USB flash drive (like the one in os/images/diskboot.img), so that a complete rescue system could be booted from the stick, without need for network access? USB media are pretty cheap these days :)

Fedora for UMPC, tablets, PDA etc. ?
by Anuj Verma (Kevin) 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hello Reading the below(bottom) mentioned story I am curious to know more point of views, "FC6 shrunk to 150MB" ! This time while Fedora 7, is being planned and discussed and while UMPC is getting lot popular, I am just curious to know point of views here, if this is a good time for Fedora to also host a UMPC project ? Does it seems Fedora be good for UMPC types example, Orgami, Nokai 770/800 etc. Hoping that the lessons and improvements gained out of OLPC can be put out for a wider community cattering, development & cross pollination. Regards, Kevin -- http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2007010902326NWHWEV "The software is based on Fedora Cora 6, put on an diet to reduce it to 150 MB, and leverages Python heavily. According to Bletsas, both Microsoft (WinCE) and Apple (OS X) offered their operating systems, but neither fit the footprint or security requirements that the XO demanded. In addition, the closed-source nature of those operating systems wasn't a good fit to the OLPC philosophy. The application environment looks nothing like a typical X-Window GUI that you or I have ever seen. Written menus are totally replaced with icons. In one example screen, the child can view all the other meshed XOs around them (the mesh is good point to point to about 600 meters), and see what activities the other children are involved in. Almost all activities can be done collaboratively. So, for example, multiple children can work on the same document or browse the web together. The distributions are fully open source, and can be downloaded and played with now at laptop.org. Also included will be a Gecko-based browser that Bletsas told me should be capable of displaying Flash-enabled web pages."

proposal: mailing list reorganization
by Thorsten Leemhuis 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi all! Find below a proposal for a mailing list reorganization the board asked me to work on. It can also be found in the wiki at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThorstenLeemhuis/MailingListReorganization and until now was only discussed slightly on the semi-private on fedora-advisory-board. This is the first public discussion. Happy flamefest! CU thl P.S.: We want to create the fedora-qa list (without the "-list" postfix -- see the end of the document) quite soon (early next week!). If you really dislike that part yell *now*. The other stuff will at least get a second public discussion. ############################### = Mailing list reorganization = A lot of people yelled "there are to many mailing lists; that is contra-productive and leads to a lot of confusion" (this is the short explanation without all the boring details). Thus the idea came up to revisit the Fedora mailing lists that got created in the past years since Fedora was born and do some adjustments. That means mainly: shut some down and adjust the usage model of some others. That's needed in parts for the Core and Extras merge in any case. This will be a really complex task and we won't make everybody happy with it, but we hope to improve the situations. The Fedora Board asked me, ThorstenLeemhuis (thl), to drive this task. You can find my proposal below, comments appreciated. Feel free to write a counter proposal if you think I did stuff (totally) wrong or if you think I ignored your comments (I read them all, but as I wrote: we can't make everyone happy -- but I'm trying my best to find a compromise thats better that what we have today and is acceptable for most of us). ---- = Main end Goal = The details how this goal is going to achieved can be found below, but here is a quick summary for those that don#t care about the details. The other goal is to get rid of those lists: * fedora-devel-list * fedora-maintainers * fedora-extras-list * fedora-test-list * fedora-triage-list * fedora-extras-commits * fedora-desktop-list * fedora-extras-steering * fedora-dsco-list In parallel we create some new: * fedora-devel -- For devel discussion. The "old" fedora-devel-list became quite noise and we want to avoid that with the new list. Thus the plan is to restrict it to well known open-source or project contributors and make it moderated for the rest of the world. Support questions regarding devel stuff are off topic here. * fedora-devel-discuss -- We need an open devel list for users as fedora-devel is restricted. Support questions regarding devel stuff are on topic here, too. * fedora-qa -- for wwoods and the QA group * fedora-project -- for discussions about the project as a whole that in the past often happend on the moderated/semi-closed fedora-advisory-board list (that will stay for now and hopefully gets removed in the long term). = Details how to achieve that end-goal = Some lists get renamed (users thus don't have to care about re-subscribing) and sone get closed. == Shut down == Meaning: Send a EOL message with some informations to the list and disallow further postings. Archieves remain accessible. Users get pointed to the new lists. === fedora-extras-list === Well, the "Core packages gets merged into the Extras framework" is official. The name "Extras" get obsolete by that and thus this list becomes obsolete. Users get pointed to two different lists instead: * topics regarding maintaining packages in the repo go to fedora-devel * questions regarding packaging and the guidlines around it shall be send to fedora-packaging in the future === fedora-test-list === A lot of people never got the difference between fedora-devel and fedora-test list and ask users support questions on fedora-devel. One of the reasons for this is that it was not obvious what "testing" means. Another reason: we answered those users question on fedora-devel, even if they were not on topic (and thus users asked again and again). And the topics for -devel and -test are to similar; sometimes the same things get discussed in parallel on both lists. Users get pointed to fedora-devel-discuss instead. === fedora-triage-list === Not used much anymore. Users ge pointed to fedora-qa-list instead (see below). === fedora-extras-commits === No difference between core and extras anymore. Send the stuff to fedora-cvs-commits in the future. (see below) === fedora-extras-steering === No FESCo anymore in the future, no private list for it anymore. An new list will be create for the FESCo successor when that got decided. === fedora-desktop-list === Not much traffic, seems the project has not much need for a dedicated list atm. If that changes again in the future create fedora-devel-desktop, to make its usage more obvious. === fedora-dsco-list === Not much traffic and it seems the Fedora Documentation Steering Committee agreeds to close this list. ---- == Create == We need some new lists, too. === fedora-qa === Create a fedora-qa to be used by wwoods efforts and his recruits. Will be created quite soon, probably before this discussion is finished, because the QA group asked for it quite some time ago already. Will get a seperate "topic" on the list where the qa-reports will get send; users then can subscribe to the qa-list, but can choose if they want to get the automatic reports.. === fedora-project === We until now have no real list where Ambassadors, packagers, programmers, art-people and other contributors can talk to each other about general stuff that's important to the project as a whole without getting lost in the noise or scared away with "this is off topic on this list" calls. fedora-advisory-board somehow was this list until now in parts, but it's moderated and thus even some project contributors that were not subscribed feel excluded (bad). Summaries from the project meetings (Ambassadors, Infrastructure, FESCo successor) shall get send to the list so people know what's going on in the project as a whole. === fedora-maintainers-announce === Created already, but not used until now. This is not a real mailing list for discussion, it's rather meant as a way to get really important information (policy changes, announcements for mass rebuilds, ...) out to all maintainers -- e.g. low traffic, normally less then 3-5 mails a months. The plan is to subscribe users semi-automatically from the accounts system to make sure we reach everyone. Some people question the use of this list; they want people subscribed to fedora-maintainers instead. But important informations can get lost there in the noise easily, and that would be bad. And some of our maintainers (e.g. upstream maintainers that co-maintain the fedora package) are not interested in all those discussions that happened on fedora-maintainers in the past. Reply-to of this list will be set to fedora-devel; that list will also get subscribed to fedora-maintainers-announce. Users can't unsubscribe manually from fedora-maintainers-announce list -- being on it is mandatory for all package contributors. ---- == Change policy == === fedora-advisory-board === The list remains for now, but we want to move most of the discussion into the wider public. fedora-project should thus be used for most of the stuff that got discussed on fedora-advisory-board in the past. But the advisory-list will remain for the purpose it was created for: a communication channel between important project contributors. We'll close it later if we notice that this is not needed anymore (that what some people hope) === fedora-cvs-commits === All commits should go here, but separated into topics (web, docs, F7, devel, ...), similar how we do it for how we do for fedora-packaging-announce ---- == Rename == === fedora-devel-list to fedora-devel-discuss === fedora-devel-discuss shall to a major part replace fedora-test-list an fedora-devel. Users can help each other here (and developers should keep any eye on it his list, too) if they have problems with running development or testing-channels. They can also discuss Fedora development there freely. === fedora-maintainers to fedora-devel === Rename to fedora-devel. Free to post for all fedora contributors (being in ambassadors, mentors, packagers, ...). Moderated for the rest of the world (we need a whole team of moderators for it). Be liberal and allow good-guys to post without being moderated, even if they are no fedora-contributors; that includes: * people that are well know and active in open-source land somewhere * people who work on upstream apps we package * people that have shown to be constructive after their posts got moderated for a while Enforce the devel topics and never ever answer support questions on that list -> those are on topic for fedora-devel-users. === fedora-laptop-list === Rename to fedora-hardware. Some people suggested to get rid of this completely, but having a dedicated list for hardware issues might be acceptable. ---- == Not sure == There are some list where I'm not sure if we still need them and/or need to adjust their policy. === fedora-list === This is mostly a list where users help he other. fedora-users would thus be a proper name that would make its use obvious. === Others === Some people questioned the needs for these lists. * fedora-games-list * fedora-r-devel-list * fedora-art * fedora-xen * fedora-websites Ask the list-maintainers if separate lists really make sense for these topics. fedora-games-list for example ---- == Miscellaneous == === Mailman guidelines === While at it let's define a standard look-and-feel for mailing lists, too. (FIXME: some mailman experts around? Is this sane?). Mailing list admins are strongly encouraged to follow this guidelines, but they don't have to if there are good reason for it (no, "I don't like it" is not a good reason!). Suggested setting (can all be found on the first mailman settings page) * the reply-to should not be modified by mailman (first_strip_reply_to = no) * the reply-to should point to the list (reply_goes_to_list = this list) * no explicit Reply-to-Address (reply_to_address = <empty> ) * no tagging (subject_prefix = <empty> ) === Legacy === Jesse will close fedora-legacy and fedora-legacy-announce in the near future. === To -list or not to list === Some of our mailing lists have the "-list" postfix, other not. I think all new lists should be created without it. === rawhide reports === We create another channel in fedora-package-announce where those kind of reports get mailed to. Don't send them to any other lists. Side note: A channel for the important packages might be helpful, because the reports will get quite long in the future after the extras and core merge. How about a channel that lists only changes in packages that are part of our most important spins Gnome, KDE and Server? == Notes == Ubuntu has similar problems; they splitted ubuntu-devel into ubuntu-devel and ubuntu-devel-discuss: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-December/023022.html EOF

yum roll back option?
by Jerry Williams 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Since there has been a lot of talk about servers. I was wondering about a way to recover back to a previous working system. The yum updates that I installed today broke my 3c590 network card. I can look at /var/log/yum.log and see what was installed, but I am not sure what versions I had before that. I ended up swapping the network card with a 3c905 card and it works okay. The only thing I can think to do is do a rpm -qa >rpm.txt before I run yum and then one after so I can do a diff on the files and know what the previous version was. On other unix boxes I work on there is the option to save files that are replaced and then you can clean that out after you know things are working. Or if things don't work you can put those files back. Also might be nice to change the yum.log to show what version was updated to the new version instead of just what the new version is. Example: /var/log/yum.log Jan 12 19:59:10 Updated: tar.i386 2:1.15.1-24.fc6 Would look like: Jan 12 19:59:10 Updated: tar.i386 1.15.1-23.fc6 2:1.15.1-24.fc6

This is "a first attempt at getting a package list", not "packages on the default install". That would be much more like a minimal running system. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 2797513

Fedora Dev Spin/Strain
by Jane Dogalt 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

I recently outlined the simplest example of my ongoing pursuit of trivially self-replicating (and modifying) livecd distributions. I.e. the goal of having an fc8 installable blu-ray(whatever) which also behaves as a livecd, which can regenerate itself with arbitrary modifications via simple 1-click/simple user interface. Going further down this line of thought, takes me to this outline for the ultimate fedora8 development distribution livedvd image- In addition to the above features, the livedvd environment should- 1) have a full copy of the source repo (src rpms). 1B) It would be better to also have a full copy of the cvs/svn/git/whatever repository that builds the srcrpms repo from network upstream sources (presumably via 1click/commandline non-interactive interface) 2) have a version of pungi or whatever that non-interactively inputs (1) and outputs the full binary repository. 2B) with an option for using qemu-ppc to generate even the other binary repositories (after quite a bit of unattended gratuitous power consumption) 3) a tool like pilgrim or what I'm working on that inputs (2) and outputs an installable livedvd image. I.e. the environment you are using to build this new modified version. 4) now here is where I'm really asking for a lot: Now that you have every line of source code on this self replicating dvd, I would also like to see a database where literally every bit(/line of source code) on the dvd is associated with a maintainer/upstream-maintainer. Such that at any point any developer (or bright kid) with sufficient skill, can dig into any bug they find, down to the relevent lines of source, and then trivially get that information and/or patch to the correct upstream owner. 5) As I've been harping all for some time, you also want the feature to virtually run new output livedvds (in qemu/etc). 6) what (5) is really for, is to facilitate fully automated regression tests. In addition to being self-reproducable and self-debuggable, they should be viciously self-testing as well. 7) the reason that all of this hasn't been done so far, is (a) its quite complicated tying a lot of this together. but imho this is just a level of maturity that fedora just hasn't achieved yet, but its getting close. and (b) on current hardware this is maybe a runtime of a week or more. But this is where you also want to bring in the tools to trivially allow this livedvd to boot an entire cluster of xbox's on a lan, and give you trivial 1-button interface to rebuild/reproduce all in such a distributed system. Likewise, this may just take 30 minutes to run on a middle-class laptop 10 years from now, and can be the official new 'order a pizza' step in the compile your own kernel(&now distro) howto. -dmc/jdog ____________________________________________________________________________________ Have a burning question?

(or whatever is the fail-safe option, i.e. SELinux enabled, no root login except on the console, ...) + "To set up for X do Y" type documentation here. Presumably they know what they are doing, and their setup most probably won't fit any "standard". Nice side effect is that it is simpler that way ;-) > Configurations: > Secure by default > * no default passwords > * no service shall start automatically unless it can > have a secure default configuration > * root only by sudo, but without direct access to a > shell (for improved audit-ability) > * selinux activated > ... (other choices, you get the gist I hope) Just one option is simpler, and so harder to screw up upstream (this is critical), and gives people time to look at the various pieces having the full documentation (and web access, etc) at hand. This is one of my gripes about the installation process: You have to decide on stuff without data, and either you decide right now or you can't go on. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 2797513

Is that really so bad? Speaking from a community perspective, YES. And I personally thought that Rahul captured my feelings exactly when he said, "It would be consistent to have something like Fedora Desktop (GNOME edition) and Fedora Desktop (KDE edition) It's confusing and discriminatory to call one of the spins as the desktop when you have more (which is likely to increase) than one desktop oriented spins." But I will note that the RH Desktop team (I am assuming this is for the most part the Fedora Desktop team as well) has given little more than lip service to Rahul's message. They have certainly not conveyed any message along the lines, "He's got a point there, Judge..." to the community, as heard by this community member. Rather, the message I get over and over again is that the current Fedora desktop crew is rather enamored with the "Fedora Desktop" spin and is not about to let go of it, no matter how reasonable and sensible an action that might be when viewed from 35,000 feet. And just to make sure there is not a lack of communication between the community (me) and you (Warren), I think the answer to your question is unequivocally Y-E-S. I hope that was all clear. Let me know if I should try to say it another way. Thanks, -pmr

Help Wanted: Fedora Eclipse
by Benjamin Konrath 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Hi, I just created an entry in the Fedora Wiki for Eclipse packaging tasks: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EclipseHelpWanted I separated the list into packaging oriented tasks and development oriented tasks to help people find the kind of task they are interested in helping with. I put my name beside the tasks that I'm planning to work on in the next little while and I encourage interested people to do the same. I will be updating this list regularly so that stale tasks don't hang around too long. Don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in helping with any of these tasks or have any questions. Thanks, Ben

FYI here is the current outline (not much different from what I've said on livecd-list for ages) for a project I am working on. Preface: its still deep in proof of concept stages- ------------------------------------------ viros/vsys system image generator outline ------------------------------------------ (not required to run as root) 1) generate (and maybe regress test) a custom livecd/derivative-distro vsys generate liveiso --strain=fz7 customstrain.iso (takes a few hours, progress meter, non-interactive, maybe eventually a gui to manage flags/options) 2) test/play your new system image vsys virtualize customstrain.iso (purely a wrapper to abstract away qemu options) What this is doing is create a 'strain' (aka 'spin'/'recipe'/'system configuration') of a livecd. In this case it pulls the recipe/config from /usr/share/viros/strains/fz7.vml, which is an xml config file describing exactly what needs to be known to create this particular spin/strain/livecd. Basically the input for how to do a fedora core 6 automated install (grub boot line, kickstart, arbitrary extra data/script payload, etc...). Then, to create a new, modified 'strain', you either copy and modify the vml file, or use builtin 'features/traits', i.e. vsys generate liveiso --strain=fz7 \ --addfeature adduser:user=sysuser,password=notobvious --addfeature gdmautologin:user=sysuser --addfeature adddefaultstartpage:user=sysuser,page="http://example.com" The features/traits would be a standard format (rpm/tgz/makeself/whatever) and live in /usr/share/viros/traits/ To reiterate, one benefit of my design using qemu instead of DavidZ's root based pilgrim, is that all install actions (including hundreds of %pre/%post scripts) are run in a user protected environment. Another benefit, is that this can abstract away the distribution. I.e. I fully intend to support debian/ubunto/centos (and later PPC versions of stuff using qemu-ppc). I.e. I hope to have default strain configurations that can say generate the latest version of knoppix with all debian updates applied. Also, I have it working so that everything is always done to a hidden vnc window, so it can just churn away on some headless server generating images, and even doing automated regression tests on those images by booting them under qemu. One final aspect is that I also have designed it with modular backends in mind. I.e. 'generate a livecd using the unionfs method', 'generate a livecd using the devicemapper snapshot method', 'generate a livecd using the kadischi bindmounting method', 'generate a livecd using the jdogalt rebootless installable method', 'generate a tgz that can be remotely push installed to server you have root ssh access'. Anyway, as I've been saying for years, I hope to get it demoable any day now, and that other people find it as useful as I imagine it to be :) Maybe DavidZ has some better plans for pilgrim, perhaps integrating with this virtmanager I haven't played with yet... -dmc/jdog ____________________________________________________________________________________ Have a burning question?

I'm far from being an rpm build internals specialist... but actually, taking Jeremy's src.rpm and the relative spec file I had only to: - adapt spec file for kvm-10 that was released, - change the configure line eliminating the "--with-patched-kernel" part (as said in kvm docs) - add in %files section the 3 kernel modules to be built (in a raw way...) - build the rpm - install it against my standard 2869 based fc6. And in less that one hour I was able to have a qemu/kvm wxp sp2 virtual machine running very smoothly being able to connect transparently to the internet like my physical one: - seconds to create a 9Gb disk - 5 minutes for the first part of installation/disk partition (from hd iso image) - 9 minutes for the second part with all typical parameters no customizations - 20 minutes to apply sp2 ita (from hd iso) ! At this moment with my system (last try beginning of december) I was not able to reach the same results after days of work and search with xen: only result was a black screen after reboot after initial setup.... Eventually I will try again now with latest packages released for fc6. But the easiness of kvm apply astonished me! 1 vote more for kvm extension to fc6 user base! Gianluca

[OT] kvm kernel module in fc6?
by Gianluca Cecchi 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hello, probably more correct to post to fedora extra, but as kernel is also affected, I try to post also here. Sorry for your extra-time. I have an updated fc6 (2.6.18-1.2869.fc6) and I installed the kvm-9-1.i386.rpm package found under extras-development. But this gives me only the user space modified version of qemu (qemu-kvm is the only file included). I'm able to run for example the iso of the fc6 live cd without problem. When running it I'm obviously receiving the message that /dev/kvm is not found and that kvm will so be turned off. In case I want to run Windows inside it, can I find the pre-compiled version of kvm for fc6 anywhere or should I download the source and self compile? I have a quad core system based on a p5b-vm mb so that I would like to test vt technology. Thanks in advance for your help, Gianluca

Mock/yum race
by Ralf Corsepius 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi, I am facing a bizarre and pretty severe problem with mock: On a remote (FC5) machine, mock-yum started to consume 100% of cpu-time, seemingly during a chroot'ed run of yum[1]. Peculiarly disturbing about this: This is job is running as "root", with me not having root privileges on the affected machine. # ps aux | grep mock root 28303 98.0 1.0 20280 10756 ? R 02:32 208:15 /usr/bin/python /usr/libexec/mock-yum --installroot /var/lib/mock/fedora-5-i386-local/root resolvedep m4 emacs gawk perl I am inclined to blame this to be a side-effect of one of these infamous yum/rpm/kernel deadlocks/races and/or yum/rpm arkward handling of interrupts [1][2]. Ralf [1] yum's behavior on "^C" and rpm being problematic wrt. rpmdb locking. [2] This had been a lengthy remote over-night build job, with me initially having been ssh'ed to the remote machine and the connection having gone down some time during the run.

Kernel-Xen..

I'm wanting to do some more testing of bz #207432 (intel integrated chipsets explode in a hail of burning puppies when using Xen + graphics), but kernel-xen has gone away, is this because it's merged into 'kernel' or has it's packaging just broken temporarily?

I'd just go with "It's in between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20, so 2.9.19-<release>. This is much simpler than the scheme proposed above. Or use that scheme /only/ if it is a rather long-lived "in-between" version that has its own "name recognition" (i.e., under duress). In the kernel's case the -rcX are short-lived. Besides, basing /any/ decision on the rcX number is misguided. It has happened that features are included and then ripped out again, and features in the vanilla kernel aren't in the distribution kernels, and viceversa. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 2797513

Sound effects issues
by Luya Tshimbalanga 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

As suggested by David Zeuthen, here is the post about sound effect for Fedora desktop. Some desktops users notice Fedora does not have its own sound effects theme because it use the generic theme from Gnome. I wonder if there is a sound artist willing to develop a sound theme for Fedora. I also wonder if there is a possibility to support .ogg and .flac for the sound effects as the current version only use .wav. It is odd that Gnome doesn't support these open source format.

I have found this "new" menu for kde, which seems rather nice. I have used it on other distributions and it was fairly effective. It's called tasty menu. heres the link to the site where I found this app. http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=41866 is where I found it. I post this here incase any of the F7 KDE devs feel it would be a good addition to the Fedora desktop and possibly add some polish to the system.

mozilla to seamonkey switch...
by Dmitry Butskoy 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

After the recent switch from "mozilla-1.7.13" to "seamonkey-1.0.7" there are a lot of troubles. I just have tried it and "mozilla -mail" launches browser instead of mail, all my mail accounts had disappeared after the update, when invoked from cmdline I see "grep: cannot find libc.so.6 library", etc... Where the correspond bugs should be reported in bugzilla? There is no "seamonkey" component under "Fedora Core" item... Dmitry Butskoy http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DmitryButskoy P.S. And it is painful enough to see "bubbles in water" instead of old kind "red dragon" in the application which is used more than half time of all the computer work for years... :(

The versions people expect are those upstream chose and upstream is not calling it 2.6.19 postrelease but 2.6.20 prerelease. Now that the big Linus feature merges happen at 2.6.x-rc1 time there is absolutely no way post 2.6.x-rc1 kernels are closer to 2.6.(x-1) than 2.6.x -- Nicolas Mailhot

Bad jargon. Better say "Prepare for Extras merge" or some such. The %changelog entries will stay for a /long/ time, besides adding to the current confusion surrounding the merge isn't such a good idea. [But what do I say...

[offtopic] Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams
by Arthur Pemberton 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

Hi guys, I apologize ahead of time for the offtopic nature of this thread, and if desired, I will cease any continuation. Threads over on fedora-extras-list have brought my attention to the e-dissappearance of one "Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams". This guy has helped me out many times over of #fedora, and was always online, despite me changing time zone twice - to the point where I asked if he was a bot. He seemed to have also had a large load in package maintaince. Fedora being partly about the community, I have to ask: does anyone know what happened to this guy? His online presence seems to have simply ceased as of May-2006. I searched Gmail for emails from him, the last was in May. His blog (http://www.ivazquez.net) seems also to have gone quiet as of May. Just felt that the guy has helped me enough to at least care if he suddenly died or something. Peace. -- To be updated...

When there is no log file the logging module opens a console stream, thus the console stream produced by the console flag was redundant. - add username and password command line arguments rework startup logic so that all command line args are processed before we do any real work - rework the email preferences so that each email address can have a filter type associated with it. add a new filter_type "Ignore After First Alert" which filters after the first alert has been delivered - add UI for setting the email addresses alerts are sent to. Add menu item to edit email list, add email list dialog. Remove 'recipient' config file entry, now list is stored in seperate file. Add rpc to query and set the email list, the GUI calls this to get the current list from the server and set it in the server, it is the server which reads and writes the file. Add 'enable' flag to each email entry. Modify how the server iterates over the email list when it receives an alert. When marking an alert as having been sent the username is the email address but with 'email:' prepended so as not to collide with non-email filtering options for the same user.

Status of User Private Group Scheme (UPG)
by Dax Kelson 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

Since as long as I can remember (the Mother's day release?), Red Hat Linux implemented the User Private Group scheme out-of-the-box. It is documented in all on-line Red Hat manuals. It consists of two pieces: a) private primary group for each user instead of "users" b) umask of 002 for user accounts According to the changelog for the setup RPM, /etc/bashrc was changed last March to use 022 for all accounts. However, private primary groups are still created for user accounts. The current situation is odd, however, with (a) still in effect, but (b) gone. There is no mention in any release notes that I can find. Why the change, and what's the plan/status of UPG? I can understand if UPG is going away, as the problem that UPG addresses can be handled with FACLs and default ACLs on directories (my Linux training manuals have now been updated with using-FACLs-instead-of-UPG). IMHO, either UPG should stay in it's entirety, or it should go in it's entirety. Dax Kelson Guru Labs
