fedora 11- i386 DVD as repository
by Abhishek Sharma
Hi,
I have fedora -11 live CD (i686) installed on my system.
Now I have a Fedora - 11 DVD (i386) with me.
My query is that can I use this DVD as a repository for my existing
installation. (Basically i m confused between i386 and i686, although both
the disk are meant for 32 bit P-4)
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Sharma

Major problem with FC10 -> FC11 upgrade
by John Graham
Hello there - I've had a "bit of a problem" upgrading to FC11 on a
Dell Latitude E5500, I've googled but can't find anyone having
reported a similar problem.
I tried to upgrade by selecting the "upgrade to fedora 11" option in
the GRUB menu. Everything seemed to go okay - it downloaded a thousand
or so packages, said it was doing post-install "stuff" and so forth...
didn't see any error messages or anything alarming.
Now I'm having problems booting. /sbin/init starts and starts going
through the sysV init process in runlevel 5, all startup scripts show
an "OK" message except the the HAL daemon and the AVAHI daemon
startups, which both show "FAIL". However, it doesn't get through all
the startup scripts - halts after displaying an "OK" message for
starting proftpd.
Even though the startup process is hung, I can still ctrl+alt+f[2-6]
to at least login to a terminal.
Obviously, for the time being I've just reinstalled an earlier
version, but I still have the old partition up and running, so if
there's any useful information anyone would like me to gather to find
out why this happened/how to fix it I'd be happy to, since to be fair
this is a fairly major problem!
Also, is there someone else I should let know about this? Do all the
Fedora core developers subscribe to this list?
Thanks!

My WebDav Calendar for Sunbird/Lightning has stopped working
by Kevin Cummings
My Home server has a WebDav Calendar named Home in
/var/www/html/dav/Home.ics
Long story short:
Last night (actually, about 1:30 this AM) I made one change to my
calendar from my laptop via Thunderbird/Lightning. It seemed to take,
so I shut down the laptop and went to bed.
This morning (about 11:30 AM) I fired up the laptop to look at my
calendar and it was "gone". No data in Thunderbird/Lightning from it.
There is a little "!" inside a yellow triangle next to it in the
calendar list.
No attempt to access this calendar is succeeding for me. Not from
Lightning, not from Sunbird, not from any of my 3 machines running Linux
(I haven't tried my wife's Windows box yet).
I've looked at /var/log/httpd/access_log and error_log. The access_log
shows my GET's, but there are no errors in the error log.
So, I assume that the data is being served properly, so it must be
something else.
So, I went down to the server and rebooted. No change! The calendar
is still un-accessable.
So, finally, I installed Sunbird on the server and tried to add the
calendar to it. No dice. Same stupid yellow triangle.
This time, I looked at Sunbirds error console:

Nothing jumps out at me.
Can someone please tell me what went wrong? And maybe point the finger
at the problem?
Thanks!

F11: NetworkManager woes
by lanas
A sincere thanks to all who took the time to reply on my previous
queries.
Do not get me wrong, I really am 95% satisfied with F11. And that's
after doing a F9 to F8 'upgrade', and rejecting altogether F10. I'm
really up to getting F11 (x86_64) both at work and at home.
And so far so good, but...
Here's what's up with that thing called NetworkManager.
When I right-click on the NetworkManager applet icon and edit the
connections (eth0 and eth1) all parameters are A-1 OK. eth0 through
DHCP, eth1 static. But no matter what I do, the NetworkManager
craplet will initialize eth0 to 192.168.10.110/24 and will do nothing
with eth1. It will also initialize resolv.conf to:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain Trendnet
search Trendnet
nameserver 192.168.10.1
I reckon this is partly generated by the dchp client, although it
does not say so in the file. 'Trendnet' is certainly the making of
dhcp client, as well as the nameserver IP. Obviously these are not
right for our network.
Where does it get that IP as well as the .110 IP ?
And of course, it did not save the previous resolv.conf. Fortunately I
have the settings in the previous F8 system still on disk so I don't
have to bug the IT dept.
And worst, that's after a reboot (after trying to restart the
NetworkManager several times and verifying the configuration). Yes,
the famous MS Windows style: reboot.
So now I have to make a script to initialize the LAN interfaces.
Is there a way to disable the NetworkManager stuff and come back to
what it used to be on Fedora 8 ? I need to switch off/on the network
interfaces on a periodic basis. The following used to work nicely in F8:
/etc/init.d/network start
/etc/init.d/network stop
The bad thing is that it is seemingly involved to disinfect (wording
might be too strong) the F11 system from the NetworkManager because it
seemingly signalizes other applications about network availability, or
make available network status for other apps to consult. Firefox and
claws-mail for instance seems to rely on NM histrionics to put
themselves in offline or online modes. Starting the network
interfaces manually then would not change this status if the currently
useless Manager (but certainly overpaid and overrated!) does not
approve. But I could live with that. I could toggle Firefox and
claws-mail manually. That's the extent to which I'd like to keep F11
at work.
Setting the ip manually works, but The Manager might come by and
change that at any time it deems worthed to do so. It'll also
overwrite the resolv.conf file with the following when it stops. (I
guess it is some final menace of some sort ;-)
# No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your
# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com
So I can '/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop' it.
Is there then a --force switch to yell at NM to do its thing right
from the command line ? Or some other way to make it do what it
claims (eg. configuration settings in the applet) it'll do ? I do not
mind making a script to kill it and restart it every time I need to,
although I've already did 'restart' with /etc/init/d/NetworkManager
and that did not solve anything. If there are any file to erase, DBUS
pipe and tubes stuff to clean, a config to automatically regenerate, I
do not mind: I'll put that in a script.
Anyone making it w/o the NetworkManager ?
Thanks for any suggestions/advice/hints.

Personal Experiences w/ HP DV6 laptops and Fedora
by Joseph L. Casale
Anyone got any personal opinions about these laptops running Fedora?
They have Intel 4500 graphics which is the only thing I notice that
concerns me given the poor support right now for Intel.
Other than that, I am curious if anyone knows anything specific they
could share.
Thanks guys!

Strange files, slow resopnse, evolution problem with recent updates
by Dr J Austin
Hi
I have just returned from holiday and updated F11 to latest state
Server Centos 5.3 also updated
There was no problem afaik before the upgrades !!!!
My F11 client uses kdm, xfce, evolution ...
and my home directory is an nfs4 mount from the server
-------------------------------------------------------
1. My backup script fails - refusing to copy files of the type
cp: cannot open `/home/ja/.local/share/applications/defaults.list.3PEP0U' for reading: Permission denied
naxos ~ 78# ls -l /home/ja/.local/share/applications/defaults.list.I4ZS0U
---------- 1 ja sysadmin 0 1970-05-08 03:02 /home/ja/.local/share/applications/defaults.list.I4ZS0U
cp: cannot open `/home/ja/.kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lockGuIM8a.tmp' for reading: Permission denied
naxos ~ 87# ls -l /home/ja/.kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lockGuIM8a.tmp
---------- 1 ja sysadmin 0 1970-02-01 03:34 /home/ja/.kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lockGuIM8a.tmp
-------------------------------------------------------
With zero length and 000 permissions
naxos ~ 86# find . -type f -size 0 -perm 000 |grep ".kde/share/config/*" |wc
11336 11336 532781
Even more with just zero length
naxos ~ 84# find . -type f -size 0 |grep ".kde/share/config/*" |wc
23783 23783 1117791
The vast majority of the files are associated with kde !
naxos ~ 5# ja_null_files_ls |wc -l
43087
naxos ~ 6# ja_null_files_ls |grep .kde |wc -l
43008
There are a lot of these files in my home directory! 240,000 at one stage !!!!
They take a very long time to delete
The dates are strange some being in years 1970 and some 2038
############################################################
Update
My nfs4 mounted home directory is saved on a SSD disk
with noatime set
Removing the noatime seems to get rid of the 2038 dated file problem
other problems described here are still present
############################################################
Why have these files appeared or have they always been there
If so why does my simple cp now treat them differently
2. Evolution is now having great difficulty in reading/saving/deleting/filtering files
Is this to do with problem 1 ?
Also - when creating new message in evo a box pops up with
Could not save to autosave file "".
Error saving to autosave because "Could not open autosave file".
3. Thunar has great difficulty in showing thumbnails
and deselects thumbnails when changing directory
pcmanfm seems to work OK
Is it a kde, nfs ... problem ?
Any suggestions welcome
John
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS
I have 4 little scripts to investigate with
For 1970 dated files
naxos ~ 1# cat bin/ja_null_files_ls
#!/bin/bash
find $HOME -type f -size 0 -mtime +10000 -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l
--------------------------------------------------------------
For 2038 dated files
naxos ~ 2# cat bin/ja_null_files_ls_future
#!/bin/bash
find $HOME -type f -size 0 -newermt "2030-02-01" -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l
--------------------------------------------------------------
Second pair of scripts have rm instead of ls -l
--------------------------------------------------------------
naxos ~ 9# ja_null_files_ls |less

tetex-latex not visible in the repository?
by Maurizio Ungaro
yum search tetex-latex didn't find anything for me.
I thought they changed the name.
However yum install tetex-latex worked.
I'm worried that this might happen for some other package, can anyone
confirm this is happening?
best,
mauri
