livecd-creator / anaconda - strange problem with ownership dropped
by Martin Langhoff
In summary: installing a LiveCD created livecd-creator, anaconda fails
to set the ownership & group of a couple of directories. Looking
inside the ext3 img (inside the squashfs), the directory owner/group
is set correctly and passwd and group files contain the correct
entries.
This is all on F7 - I am building a F7 livecd in a mock chroot running
F7. The package is a custom package, and it succeeds in installing
things correctly - no errors during the creation of the livecd, and
looking inside the squashfs/ext3 fs confirms that things are right.
The only "oddify" is that the directories that are showing this problem are
/library/xs-rsync/pub
/library/xs-rsync/tmp
/library/xs-rsync/stage
and /library is a mountpoint (containing nothing else at the moment).
The rest of the system is on under a / (root) mountpoint.
Looking at /var/log/anaconda.log there are some odd entries saying
"INFO: set fc of /path to None" for several paths, including /library
and all its contents (literally, every file and directory in the
partition).
Any hints? Possible debug angles I should try?
BTW, if you want to see the %pre and %attrib creating the user/grp -
it is here http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/martin/xs-rsync.git;a=blob;f=xs-rsync.s...
- though I doubt it's interesting.
I'm off to grep through the anaconda sources - this is on anaconda-11.2.0.66-1
cheers,

disk partitioning for multiOS machine
by Ahmed Kamal
Hi,
Sorry this might be a bit off topic. I am getting a new laptop, and plan to
use fedora as my main OS. I will be installing Windows too for the
occasional game. I would also like to install open-solaris and/or MacOSX,
just to see what others are up to. Eventually I will also want to run
multiple VMs. It would be necessary to share data across those OSs and VMs.
I am lost as to how to partition/lvm the 250GB drive for optimal use. Does
anyone have a similar setup? any advice ?
Would KVM on F10 allow running the non-virtualized (i.e. on disk installed)
Windows and Solaris to run in full virt mode ? (That should save space)

Dropping mknbi from F10
by Warren Togami
I am dropping mknbi from F10 for the following reasons:
* NBI images generated by mknbi have completely failed to boot anything
with modern Fedora kernels.
* ELF images generated by mknbi don't work with coreboot with Etherboot.
mkelfimage ELF images seem to work everywhere ELF netboot is expected
to work including coreboot.
* wraplinux NBI seems to work everywhere NBI is expected to work.
* wraplinux is actively maintained by hpa upstream and he instantly
fixes whatever we ask for. Meanwhile mknbi is a steaming pile of
ancient, unmaintained buggy code
* LTSP relies on mkelfimage (for ELF) and wraplinux (for NBI), so there
is no reason for mknbi to exist anymore.

Thanks. I'll trust it, but not until the one for cvs is something other
than UNKNOWN. ;)

Accessing cvs still down?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've downloaded my new client side cert (renamed it .fedora.cert),
removed the old bit from known_hosts and tried to grab common from cvs.
I'm getting the error "Permission denied (publickey).
What do I need to do to get things working again?
TTFN

Is koji working? ('certificate verify failed')
by David A. Wheeler
Is koji working again? I got the impression it's supposed to be
back up, but I'm getting SSL errors:
$ koji build --scratch dist-f9 E-0.999.006-1.fc9.src.rpm
Error: [('SSL routines', 'SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE', 'certificate verify failed')]
I updated ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert and ~/.fedora-upload-ca.cert (and re-inserted
my OpenSSH public key too!), but I still get this error.

updating from repos
by Ahmed Kamal
Hi Fedorians,
I am installing a fresh fedora and I need to grab some rpms from the repos.
Is it still not ok to update rpms from repos ? Is there any protected repo
one can use ?

After running chkconfig... daemon up after install?
by Martin Langhoff
Is there a canonical procedure for either the %post or the caller of
rpm/yum to start any daemons that may have been installed? Doing a
service foo start is a no-no in %post, as the install may be happening
in a context that is not a normal install. But there must be a way to
give users happy fluffy bunnies and working active software after they
install a daemon in a "running machine" context.
Pointers welcome - this is probably a FAQ but googling around I can't
find anything that looks like the appropriate answer.
cheers,
m
