yum - file conflicts when updating from i?86 to x86_64
by Bill McGonigle
Hi, all,
I had an interesting time updating a machine from i686 to x86_64 last
night. I wound up using rpm alot, and would rather have used yum more,
but for problems like the one noted below (just one example out of a
large number of similar instances).
Is there a way to get yum to not fret about file conflicts when
replacing one arch with another with the same base package name?
Dependency resolution and RPM seems to be happy, but the transaction
check (OK, I don't really know what that means) doesn't seem to
understand what's happening.
Thanks,
-Bill

Re: Latest updates broke KDE sound
by LPM
First let me apologize for not doing a direct reply to your email. I don't
seem to be getting the mail forwarded from the list, even though I
re-enabled it in my profile. So I'm hacking this to your reply.
NOW, let me express my sincere appreciation to you for solving my problem.
I don't know why Xine backend no longer works, but gstreamer fixed it. I
added this problem to BZ #551496. I'll update that bug, with your
solution. I have checked the other machine and it has Xine as the backend.
Maybe after another set of updates, either to KDE or pulse, I will try switching it back. Even after 20 years of *NIX, and 10 of Linux, I keep
learning. I don't mind the occasional problems, as long as there is a
solution. Gotta love Linux!
Thank you again,
Lloyd

Fedora 11 openvpn
by Frank Cox
Does anyone know of any problems regarding Fedora 11 and openvpn?
Here is his description of the issue:
I think that I have misconfigured something on our LAN.
The intended configuration:
- there are a couple of class-C subnets which are all connected
via our VPN (openvpn).
- all our subnets are 192.168.x.0 - where x is a prime number
less than 32.
- the vpn server is bingo, on my subnet (192.168.11.102)
- bingo is configured to push routes to all the VPN subnets
to all clients, as the clients connect
- the openvpn tunnel addresses are in the range 10.8.0.*
- the office subnet is 192.168.7.0. The openvpn client on
the network is 'finknottle', at 192.168.7.7
- there are a bunch of other machines in the office,
including emsworth (192.168.7.9) and baxter
(192.168.7.8)
- Phil's subnet is 192.168.23.0, openvpn client
'max' (192.168.23.8)
with some other machines (including 'mistral', 192.168.23.99)
- We have 3 identical routers in the office, Phil's office, and my
cabin.
(netgear wnr3500).
- the routers have static routes to to
192.168.0.0/255.255.128.0,
gateway: the openvpn client in their location.
similarly, 10.8.0.0/255.255.255.0 is another static route,
with
the same gateway.
- the routers are all ".1" on their respective networks, and
are
the default route for all the machines.
- the openvpn client (and server) machines all have the 'ip_forward'
bit
set, and their iptables rules are identical (and, I think, do the
right thing).
The intent is that anyone, anywhere on the VPN LAN should be
able to talk to any of our machines, via its IP address (e.g., to ping
baxter from mistral).
Indeed, this (almost) seems to work:
- my laptop on my LAN (192.168.11.101) can connect to mistral,
finknottle...etc.
However - the office LAN doesn't seem to work quite correctly:
- I don't get a response if I ping 'baxter' from 'bingo'
(this should cause bingo to send the icmp packet down the 'tun'
device to finknottle, finknottle to decode it and emit it on it's
'eth0', baxter to respond (sending the response to the router
at 192.168.7.1 - which should forward to the 192.168.7.7
gateway (finknottle), which should encrypt the response and
send it back to bingo via the tun device.
But this doesn't happen.
Going the other way (e.g., to ping 'mistral' from bingo - thus
going through Phil's openvpn client rather than finknottle) _does_
work....so I suspect that I did something wrong either to
finknottle or to the router in the office.
Can you suggest:
a) what I might have done wrong
b) how I can test/further diagnose my problem
(e.g., some traceroute or tcpdump incantations which might
tell me more)
c) how I can fix the issue?
We have a very, very expensive piece of equipment that we need
to be able to access via the network...so this really, really needs
to work.

setting up a docbook 5.0 toolchain on fedora 12?
by Robert P. J. Day
not sure if i asked about this once upon a time, but for a current
project, i'd like to document what it takes to construct a full
docbook 5.0 processing toolchain on fedora 12. i did something like
this way back when but that was with docbook 4.x, and the tools have
definitely changed since then.
what i want is the *minimal* set of packages and setup to take
docbook 5.0 input, and generate any of HTML/PS/PDF/others. by
"minimal", i mean that i have no interest in working with docbook 4.x,
or having anything to do with SGML, only XML. ideally, i'd like to
work with XSLT 2.0 as well. you get the idea -- cutting edge stuff,
no interest in legacy or backward compatibility.
i already know some of the packages i must/should(?) install:
* libxml2 (for xmllint and xmlcatalog)
* libxslt (for xsltproc)
* any docbook5* packages
* fop for PDF
* saxon or xalan packages
has anyone gone through this exercise already?

Best way to get minimal system
by Chris Smart
Hi all, what's the best way to get a minimal Fedora system?
I assume it's by installing via the DVD and un-ticking package groups,
leaving just the base apps, but perhaps more seasoned Fedora users
have a better suggestion?
The other day I installed F12 on a PPC machine with the network
installer and it only installed a base system (didn't even give me the
option for a graphical environment) which was neat. Trying to
replicate this on a x86 install however has not been successful.
Ubuntu provides an "Install a command-line system" mode on the
alternate installation media. Does Fedora have something similar? I
didn't see any Anaconda options to do it..
Which brings me to another point, installing KDE instead of GNOME via
the DVD. When you un-tick GNOME and tick KDE, it still leaves all of
the default GNOME applications, which is rather annoying
(understandable though). openSUSE for example, bundles everything with
that one radio button, so un-ticking "GNOME" will not install anything
GNOME related (unless a direct dependency of something else you
install, of course). Is there a similar option in Fedora? Or should
one use the KDE Live CD or manually configure each package?
Thanks.

fc12 installer fails with Gigabyte GA-EP45 SATA RAID 1
by Chris Mugdan
I am trying to install fc12 i386 on a PC based on the Gigabyte
GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard with SATA RAID. It is an Intel chipset. I am
using RAID 1 (mirror).I have installed fc8 and fc11 successfully on this
hardware, but with fc12 on various attempts I either get that the
installer does not recognise the raid array or, when it did attempt to
install, it took an inordinate time to install the packages then, once
the system was installed and running, the file system froze during the
transfer of a large set of files.
Has anyone else experienced these problems with this hardware (or
similar) and if so, do they have a remedy? Or do I just have to wait for
a new Fedora release?
I would go back to fc11 but it has all sorts of problems with monitor
settings - at least with my monitor. So I am back on fc8 in the interim.
Regards,
Chris Mugdan

Preupgrade F11 -> F12 Not Working
by Eric Mesa
Tried this a few times last night with no luck. Did a preupgrade and
rebooted. It says "starting installation" then immediately switches to
"post-installation tasks" it reboots and I'm back in F11. It looks to me as
though it is not downloading the updates given that the whole thing takes
about five minutes total.
I also ran it in the GUI but via the commandline and the last part seemed a
bit suspicious. It said 500MB needed and then listed /usr as having about
13 GB and /boot as having .... I forget exactly how much, but it was more
than was needed for the kernel.
My /boot directory has 244 MB.
I also tried the trick where you fill up /boot with garbage and have it
download the installer upon reboot. That also failed. Although, this time
it ran enough to where I could hit next and tell it to upgrade and update
GRUB. It's hard to see what's going on because when it's done "installing"
the upgrade it reboots. But I switched to one of the virtual terminals (F3,
I think) and it appears to be having problems finding sda1.
Any ideas? I'd like to upgrade to F12 to get the latest software. A full
reinstall is my absolute last option. I thought about doing a yum upgrade,
which I've done in the past (although not on this machine which successfully
preupgraded from F10 to F11), but figured that if preupgrade is having
problems with sda1, perhaps if yum upgrade can't find it, I'll end up with a
hosed system.
Thanks,

Your X-FI seems to be loaded just fine.
Stupid question... Have you un-muted your sound card? (By default sound
is muted.)
If you did, please install alsa-utils and check if alsa-mixer sees and
can control the sound card.
If it doesn't please install pavucontrol and check that pulseaudio is
configured correctly.
- Gilboa
_______________________________________________________________________
Not a stupid question because I spent a few hours one day troubleshooting sound and the card was muted.
This in not the case here. The card is not muted. alsamixer looks normal and nothing is muted.
I tried to run pavucontrol and it would not connect. I have pulse audio installed but to be honest I usually un-install pulseaudio because
it never seems to work correctly. Audio in linux / Fedora has always been a challenge for me.
Another point that I probably should have made earlier is that I did compile alsa-driver-1.0.22.1.0.g2d697.0.g88788 since I thought I
would need it.
I received this from the alsa forum but am not really sure how to do what it asks.
So, first of all, the kernel modules which are supposed to support integrated Intel audio chips get loaded, and they shouldn't.
1)You need to find out where is the file storing info about what modules
are started, and remove everything with "intel" (like "hda-intel")
2) Try to add "snd-ctxfi" there
3) I'm not using Fedora, so
I can't be really helpful. Please refer to Fedora forums for further
info, you can attach my email ;)
