Re: kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 dies during boot, unable to read superblock on ext3 (boot) filesystem
by Anne & Lynn Wheeler 21 Feb '05

21 Feb '05

I built a brand new FC3 smp kernel system using 681 on a system that had two SATA drives. I configured with logical volume support with boot filesystem mirrored/replicated and configured striped for all the other filesystems. All of the kernels since 681 have failed during boot with error message saying unable to read superblock.

Development tree packages that look older than fc3+updates
by Jef Spaleta 20 Feb '05

20 Feb '05

I currently have an i386 rawhide 'workstation' install... and for kicks i enabled the fc3 updates and fc3 base repos on that box( both yum and up2date) just to see if any packages from the fc3 repos looked 'newer' than the development tree. I found 16 rawhide packages as of today that look 'older' than their fc3 versions. This is just an FYI to anyone looking to upgrade from fc3 to rawhide(of fc4t1 when available) using yum or up2date or cli rpm (I don't know about if anaconda is affected). Someone probably needs to do a full rawhide install and try this again to get a full list of affected packages. Ideally we would want all the rawhide packages to look 'newer' than the fc3 version. Can this be addressed before fc4t1 is excreted? Affected packages as of feb 20 2005: Omni Omni-foomatic dhcpv6_client fedora-release (this might be due to a change back to noarch) gamin gamin-devel gamin-python (this one is a little touchy becuase of the switch to py2.4 in rawhide) hal-cups-utils iiimf-gnome-im-switcher iiimf-libs iiimf-libs-devel libpng libpng-devel libpng10 libpng10-devel sysklogd I'm also looking for a 'clever' way to test for this situation in general, 'clever' meaning not having to do a full rawhide install to do this sort of comparison. Anyone got any ideas? -jef

cups upgrades
by Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha 20 Feb '05

20 Feb '05

Cups likes to destroy my local configuration, without a save of the old one, every time it's upgraded. I've fixed it temporarily with chattr +i, but is there a standard way for defining a definitive local configuration? Regards, Luciano Rocha -- 4/11

cyrus-imapd won't rebuild on x86_64

Screen savers
by JERRY WHITMIRE 19 Feb '05

19 Feb '05

Hi my screen savers will not work like they should some not all. i am using Fedora core 3 and Fedora core 3 test 3 I have XP2200 chip set to 266 mhz and 256 mb of 2700/333 mhz ram set to 333 mhz I have a video card with 16 mb of ram. the cpu and video card has worked with the screen savers before i did a mother board change to an asus a7v8x-x. and did a fresh install and up2date on the Fedora core 3 on the Fedora core 3 test 3 was a pick the rpm i wanted to use on it. When it is set to come on the screen just goes black it does not go to the sleep mode .namely the ones in the [ open gl or if it has a lot of movement to it ] but if it comes on set in random they seem to work right or if i put them on the test mode they work but use a lot of my cpu power up to about 60% is this because i only have 256mb of ram ? i had 512 mb of pc 2100/266 mhz ram before. Am not sure what is going on here. Any help would be welcomed. Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

how to disable debugging in rawhide-kernel
by Satish Balay 19 Feb '05

19 Feb '05

I guess the rawhide kernel has extra checks/debugging turned on - which can slow things down. Any idea what these are? I'd like to disable these patches and rebuild the kernel [rawhide kernels currently being more stable on my T40] I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks, Satish

Java and any kernel post 1063_FC4
by Paul F. Johnson 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Hi, For some odd reason, using Azureus seems to kill my machine with annoying frequency (either hangs it or resets it). Now, I'm not sure if this is a Java problem, an Azureus problem (Azureus is a java bittorrent client) or a kernel problem. If I run Azureus with kernel-2.6.10-1.1063_FC4 everything is fine and happy, files download and the world spins on. Run it on anything newer that 1063_FC4 and I get the shut downs and lock ups. Anyone else seeing this or is it just me? TTFN Paul -- "I don't know how World War III will be fought, but I do know World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones" - Einstein

JRE for Firefox
by Rodd Clarkson 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

I'm a little confused about all this so please be gentle. I'm looking for a JRE to use as a plugin for Firefox. In the past I would have just hooked into the jre pluggin supplied with Sun's Java, but since I'm testing the current fedora 4 development and it seems that FC4 intends to do without the need for Sun's Java (I could be wrong) could someone tell me what package I'm supposed to install to get a JRE for firefox (and any other steps I might need to perform).

How to Automagically Download DVD iso
by Robert L Cochran 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Here's a dumb question. I want a way for my machine to check for, and automatically download if found, the DVD iso for Fedora Core 4 (test) when that is released to mirrors. Perhaps it could check every 3 hours after a certain date, say the 20th. Any ideas for how to make that happen? Thanks Bob Cochran
