How to (manually) create a bootable loop-mounted fedora?
by Jiason Li
Hi all,
I'm new to the list,
thus any info/suggestions are pretty appreciated,
thank you. :D
What I'm going to do is to (manually) create a bootable loop-mounted fedora,
just like the wubi version of ubuntu.
Now here comes the question:
What steps should I take to achieve this goal?
e.g.:
1. create a disk image mirroring of the whole fedora installation.
2. then...? create an initrd capable of doing the tricks (to mount the
loop image) maybe?
3. if so, how?
ps.
if possible,
a rw loop image solution is preferred than a squashfs+unionfs solution.
I know this may not be so simple,
but any guide/direction/info from you and/or fedora dev may help.
thank you for your time. :D
sincerely,
jiason

Some observation/suggestion in rawhide
by Sachin
Hi
Suggestion
1) There should be option called --size in yum which restrict the space
which be used yum. This would be beneficial to machine with low disk space.
2) If firefox 3.1beta is default then please have
extensions.checkCompatibility=false
3) Shutdown splash screen
4) ext4 in grub
Observation:
1) Why logout is available at two different place a) under system b) In
panel under name
2) Preference menu list is too long
Thanks for the great work.
Regards,
Sachin.

F9 gst and v4l2 problem
by Fernando Apesteguía
Hi all,
I'm using Fedora 9 and I want to get my webcam to work.
This is my configuration (x86_64 system):
Webcam: Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks. It uses the zc3xx driver
(kernel 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64)
Cheese 2.22.3
Ekiga 2.0.12
GStreamer 0.10.20
The webcam works fine with Ekiga, v4l2 is selected in the Preferences tab.
It doesn't work however in cheese or others (skype).
cheese -v reports this when trying to record video from the webcam:
(cheese:4069): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_value_set_fraction:
assertion `denominator != 0' failed
Detected webcam: USB Camera (046d:08dd)
device: /dev/video0
(cheese:4069): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_set_state: assertion
`GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed
(cheese:4069): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_set_locked_state:
assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed
I tried to use gstreamer-properties to figure out what is happening.
In the video tab, the output seems to be fine, the test runs OK.
However, when I try to run the test for my webcam (it is detected here
again) with v4l2, I get this:
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Error running pipeline 'Video for Linux
2 (v4l2)': Could not negotiate format [gstbasesrc.c(2436):
gst_base_src_start (): /pipeline0/v4l2src3:
Check your filtered caps, if any]
and the program closes.
If I select v4l, I get a window full of green noise.
So I suppose this is some problem related with the v4l2 plugin for
gstreamer, but I don't know how to fix this. I've Googled it and I saw
people from other distributions having the same problem, but usually
an update fixed the problem. My Fedora system is up to date.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

bash null conditional
by Craig White
I'm in my bash book and looking on web but can't seem to resolve this
simple problem.
$ if [ -n "grep A121 myfile.csv" ]; then echo "null"; fi
null
$ if [ -n "grep A125 myfile.csv" ]; then echo "null"; fi
null
A125 definitely is null when I just run the grep command in the quotes
but A121 definitely is not null.
What am I missing on the if/null operator here?

Philosophical 'which' Guru question
by bc98kinney
The default installation creates the alias:
alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde'
OK, so if you issue the 'which' command, it pipes the output of 'alias'
into /usr/bin/which, which would be a list of aliases as arguments to the
/usr/bin/which command, right?
I am assuming that the argument to the 'which' command would be appended
to the back end of the pipe, so 'which man' would expand to
'alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde man'
The rest of the default aliases are pretty much useful variations of 'ls',
but what is the point of this?
If I make an alias like 'foo=<print all of the man pages>' then wouldn't
this kind of wipe out the value of the which command?
It would seem from my rookie view that the intent of this alias is to include `pwd` in the 'which' search.
Why do they include every alias definition as input to /usr/bin/which?

Citrix client for F10?
by Fred Smith
Trying to install the latest Citrix client (downloaded from Citrix) and it
insists on libXm.so.4. I have only libxm.so.2.
The citrix web page says it requires OpenMOTIF 2.3.1 or later. I see
Fedora isn't distributinig OpenMOTIF, but instead lesstif, which seems to
have only libXm.so.2.0.1.
I've tried: ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.2.0.1 /usr/lib/libXm.so.4
but that doesn't help, RPM still complains it needs libXm.so.4.
Downloading OpenMOTIF requires registration, which I'm not especially
interested in doing.
Anybody know how to get this working on F10?
Thanks!
Fred

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing
by brian
I'm unable to install the libX11 update. Can anyone suggest what I might
be missing?
I first tried:
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update libX11'
This did seem to be checking updates-testing, although I got the "no
packages" msg. When I tried it again, yum didn't bother checking
updates-testing (though it did check updates). I then tried doing both
yum clean all
and
yum clean all --enablerepo='*'
... followed by the update cmd. The 2nd time, yum checked testing again,
but still says no packages.
I also saw somewhere that this worked for someone:
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install
libX11-1.1.5-2.fc10.i386.rpm libX11-devel-1.1.5-2.fc10.i386.rpm
--nogpgcheck'
But that just said that the packages don't exist. (Does that format even
make sense?)
So, what am I missing here?
