Any chance for a kernel 2.6.21.1 for FC5-6?
by Gilbert Sebenste
I know, you kernel developers aren't busy with anything right now. ;-)
But the fact that a patch came out right away, and the statement Linus
made for 2.6.21 indicates it might not be the most stable in the world.
What do you think?

vtty screen resolution / font trouble
by das
Hey Fedora Folks,
Machine is IBM/Lenovo T60p - LCD panel has
1400x1050 - ATI Mobility FireGL v5250 (all
correctly detected for X)
(I have this same problem with CentOS-5 so i
suspect RHEL 5 has the same issue)
f7t3 + updates - init 5 startup is fine and
resolution is good.... but switching to a vtty
(e.g., Ctl-Alt-F2) and then not only is the font
too large but the 24x80 char text display doesn't
even show all the current lines on the screen.
In other words - fonts and resolution are whacked
- can't see prompt after 'ls -lR' because it's at
the bottom of the terminal which is off the
visible portion of the lcd display.
This problem is also visible at shutdown - so you
don't see what's currently being stopped / killed
just whatever has scrolled up into the visible
region of the lcd display.
would submit bug but don't know the app
responsible for vtty resolution mess-up....
thanks for the attention and suggestions
das

Installation of Fedora 7 Test 4 F-6.93 Gnome CD
by Antonio Olivares
Dear all,
I have installed F-6.93 Fedora 7 Test 4 onto a
Toshiba laptop via LiveCD. Everything worked
beautifully. Upon rebooting, things were looking okay
until I saw the following:
scsi: 1:0:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N
dev-mapper: ioctl: 4.11.0-ioctl (2006-10-12)
initialised: dm-devel(a)redhat.com
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev/ failed: no such file or
directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: no such file or
directory
setuproot: mounting /sys: no such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: no such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Looks like something did not go well while it appeared
everything did. I should first check with a rescue cd
or install dvd to see that it finds valid filesystem
and then report back.
Regards,
Antonio

Re: Re: virtual machine manager and qemu/kvm in f7

Your clarification seems to be confirmed by the fact that if I run
virt-manager icon when connected as a normal user into the gnome
session, I get the prompt for the root password, so I presume actually
I then run it as root and I don't get the SLIRP networking option.
Probably this is intended by design with the aim not to have normal
users runnign VMs and possibly exhausting the host.....
Suppose I want so to run as root, how to provide IP to the guest?
it seems qemu dhcp server doesn't provide one.... I tried both
possible configurations...

F7T4: Weird USB disk problems (a mount problem)
by Guido Ledermann
Hello,
today I've faced a very weired problem. Whenever I plug in my USB stick
or ma CF card with pictures of camera they are mountred as usual. But
when I plug my USB disk I only see in /var/log/message that it's known
as sdd/sdd1 but it doesn't show up. I'm sure it did a few days ago. What
can be the difference between the stick and the hard drive?

virtual machine manager and qemu/kvm in f7
by Gianluca Cecchi
In fc6 I had to use directly command line, with qemu 0.8.2 and kvm-12.
Now I upgraded my x86_64 system to f7 and I have qemu 0.9, kvm-19,
libvirt 0.2.2 and virt-manager 0.4.
In fc6 I created a qemu/kvm windows xp machine and the command line I
used to run it was:
qemu-kvm -m 512 -hda winxp_kvm/hda.img -localtime -no-acpi -soundhw es1370
Now I'm testing virt-manager and I was able to "install" (actually
sort of import pointing the hd and simulating install and then
rebooting) the vm in virt-manager, but I'm not able to get the correct
network config.
Previously, not specifying anything on command line, the "Userspace
SLIRP stack" was used (see also http://libvirt.org/format.html).
How can I replicate this in virt-manager? It seems I have not the option...
I would also like to know if I can specify other qemu options such as:
sound hw,
the -localtime option (necessary for my clock that appears wrong now
when I run win xp from virt-manager)
-no-acpi
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

F7T4 - Evolution Composer
by Christopher A. Williams
This isn't really a bug, more of a rant...
I know that it's bad etiquette to send HTML messages to certain places,
but will we ever see a version of Evolution where the composer lets you
write HTML or rich text messages where you can actually control the
fonts?
This is something that's been in Thunderbird forever. From a
philosophical point of view, if Evolution can _display_ HTML, why
shouldn't you also be able to compose it?
Are there add-ons to Evolution perhaps that provide this capability?
Cheers,
Chris
