printing
by Richard Vickery
Hi gang,
I'm having a problem that I haven't had for years. With each upgrade since
maybe 2005 until Fedora 16, I have been able to install the xqx driver for
my HP P1005 with no problems; I just followed the directions at
http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/. But with Fedora 16 it is not working. Is there
any way that you could help? Is there a command that I am missing in the
printing software?
Thanks for the help.

openssh-server in F16ga
by Kaleb S. KEITHLEY
IIRC in f16alpha and f16beta with openssh-server installed, sshd was
enabled and run.
I installed f16ga in several vm guests yesterday and even though
openssh-server was installed, it was both not enabled and therefor not
run when the install finished and after a reboot.
It's possible that I forgot that I had to do a systemctl enable sshd and
systemctl run sshd on my f16alpha and f16beta guests, but since I've
only just learned about systemctl I tend to think I would have
remembered needing to do that?
Is not enabling and running sshd intentional?

Build failure if STABS debug symbols are found
by Christian Krause
Hi,
during the build of the new scummvm release we run into the following
build issue:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3507060&name=build.log
+ /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh --strict-build-id
/builddir/build/BUILD/scummvm-1.4.0
extracting debug info from
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/scummvm-1.4.0-1.fc16.i386/usr/bin/scummvm
Stabs debuginfo not supported:
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/scummvm-1.4.0-1.fc16.i386/usr/bin/scummvm
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.wtAmWB (%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.wtAmWB (%install)
Child returncode was: 1
EXCEPTION: Command failed. See logs for output.
It looks like that the compiled binary contains STABS debug symbols.
I have investigated this problem and indeed the nasm assembler will
generate by default STABS instead of DWARF debug symbols.
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725378#c16
rpmbuild has now the following behavior:
F17: rpmbuild will issue a warning but not fail the build
F15, F16: rpmbuild will fail the build once it detects STABS debug
symbols in the binaries
I'm wondering what would be the best solution here:
a) apply a patch to the package to let nasm generate DWARF debug symbols
(and probably propose this patch upstream)
b) change the behavior of rpmbuild in F15 and F16 to not treat these
errors as fatal
c) file a bug against nasm to change the default debug symbol format to
DWARF in case of compiling for the ELF target
Probably it would even make sense to do all 3 of them.
Best regards,
Christian

Advanced IPv6 in NetworkManager
by Ola Thoresen
Just reinstalled two servers with F16 this weekend, and IPv6 seems to be
working fine in NetworkManager.
There is - however - one option I am missing: Some form of combined
static and dynamic configuration.
IE. I want the server to obtain an IPv6-address dynamically, but i ALSO
want it to have one (or more) static IP-address(es) in the same prefix.
So on boot, NetworkManager recieves something like
2001:840:0:11:21d:9ff:fe07:638c/64
Based on this prefix, it should also configure the interface with
2001:840:0:11::10/64
and
2001:840:0:11::20/64
That would make installation and configuration of IPv6-servers a lot
easier, as you do not need to turn off dynamic addresses to give the
server a static address.
(I'd love to have the same feature in IPv4 too, but currently my main
focus is IPv6, so that is my main cincern right now).
Rgds.

Re: F17 heads up: X server git snapshots
by Mystilleef
Hello,
Wow, I read this a little too late. I did an update, using
--skip-broken, today and now Xorg is broken. I use the open source ati
drivers. The Xorg log indicates a version mismatch between Xorg and
the drivers. Is there a way to reverse or fix this?
Thanks
