Re: Missing Hardware After Update
by Gene Poole
Initial Message:
I'm running Fedora 9 on a custom AMD Phenom Quad-Core with 8GB RAM
installed, 2-SATA hard drives (Seagate 500GB and Seagate 1TB); HP DVD/CD
RW Dual Layer with
Lightscribe.
Lo and behold, I've updated my running (this machine) from kernel
2.6.25-14 to kernel 2.6.27.19-78.2.30 (?) and have experienced the
following:
1. My dual-layer DVD/RW and CD/RW drive has disappeared (it was
/dev/sr0)
The only messages I see that appear to be of concern are:
[root@jpdsys3 log]# cat messages | grep -i reset | more
Mar 22 14:46:30 jpdsys3 kernel: ata1: softreset failed (device
not ready)
Mar 22 14:46:30 jpdsys3 kernel: ata2: softreset failed (device
not ready)
Mar 22 14:53:55 jpdsys3 kernel: ata1: softreset failed (device
not ready)
Mar 22 14:53:55 jpdsys3 kernel: ata2: softreset failed (device
not ready)
All of the devices are SATA except the DVD drive.
Alan Cox Suggestion:
First thing - boot the old kernel (hit a key during grub and select
the
old one it kept) and make sure it still appears there, then boot the
new
kernel again so you are sure it is reproducible and depends on the
kernel
which I suspect will be the case.
Results:
During the boot (I've got the inittab set to 3) I noticed that the
message 'Starting udev' took much longer.
After the reboot and log on as root, I entered:
ls -ltr /dev/sr0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 11, 0 2009-03-24 21:20 /dev/sr0
mount /dev/sr0 /media/dvdrw
--message stating that the media was mounted as read only--
I'm now back to my original question, How can I get /dev/sr0 back using my
updated kernel?
TIA,
Gene

Disk quotas on INBOXes
by Ashley M. Kirchner
Our user e-mail INBOXes are sitting in /var/mail/[user]. Does
anyone know of a way for me to institute per-user quota on their
INBOXes? See our problem is that while I can apply user-quotas on
/home/[user], that doesn't take into account what's on /var/mail/[user]
... and some users are leaving their e-mail sitting in their INBOX
because they don't want to eat up their user quota. So, I want to limit
the size of their INBOX file as well, through quotas.
Possible?

Ayuda con GRUB
by Andres Guzman
Camaradas buenas noches, quisiera pedire su ayuda en un tema que ya no le
encuentro solucion, el problema es que en mi laptop tengo instalado Win XP
(hd0,0) y Fedora 9 (hd0,5). El problema es que necesito reinstalar windows,
ahora el problema esta es que no puedo botear con el cd de XP (despues de
presionar el boton de comenzar con CD) la pantalla se va a negro y nop hace
nada, esto con cualquier cd para botear.
Eh tratado de todo, creo que la manera mas facil es desinstalar el GRUB
(cosa que no se como hacer), para luego poder instalar WinXP y despues
reinstalar el grub.
O existira alguna otra forma de poder hacer que corra el cd de XP.
Les agradecería mucho su ayuda, desde ya muchas gracias.

by Jim
FC 10/KDE
what is the best Virtualization program for FC10, to run Windows XP in.
I understand because my AMD Athlon doesn't have a "svm" feature I can't
run KVM, and VM Ware is slow ?

Re: Disabling mouse taps on Fedora 10 (solved)
by linux media 4
I not only wanted to send a 'Solved' post, but pieced together a step by
step on how to do this from all the posts...
Copy/Rename the FDI file...
cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi \
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi
edit this file (11-synaptics.fdi) as indicated in the thread appropriate
section for your touchpad (you can discover which touchpad section by
'cat /proc/bus/input/devices')
Reboot
I added:
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge>
(allowing 'on the fly' shutting on and off of features with 'synclient')
<merge key="input.x11_options.TouchpadOff" type="string">2</merge>
(Turns the mouse pad tapping (and other) features off)
I can still do:
synclient TouchpadOff=0
to turn the features on.
My /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-synaptics.fdi is in the paste bin as an example...

grub question
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I have persistent problem at bootup: boot hangs at the beginning for
some "inconsistency" in my /dev/md0 partition.
I installed my f10 on 2 drives with software raid1 partitions end
/dev/md0 is my / partition.
cat /proc/mdstat
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU]
following instructions in some RAID howto, I installed grub on the 2
drives sdb and sdc *but* once I made a mistake and instead of typing
grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb (or c, i don't remember)
grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd1)
I replace the first line by:
grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb1 (or c1)
I don't know exactly what happens in this case, but I am wondering if
grug has not installed some files in md0, causing the boot failure for
"inconsistency".
If it is pertinent to think so, I have 2 questions:
1- How to validate this, ie. what are these files and how to "see" them?
2- How to remove them?
Thanks for attention.

One of those menus has utilities AND sub-menu "programs" while the other

I have another problem. There's two WINE menu items in "Applications"
menu. Both of them called "WINE". In both of them there's the same
program - Macromedia Flash 2004. I'm using WINE since 0.97 version. Now
I have wine-1.1.14-1.fc9.i386. I want to know how to edit those menu
items to join two entries.
Thank you.
