espeakup speech consistancy problems
by Hussain Kadhem
Hello. I'm currently running Fedora 17, installed originally as a
beta. I've built and installed both speakup and espeakup. Speakup is
working without a hitch. However, the sound output on espeakup is very
inconsistent; it keeps hanging and response time is slow. Not sure
what the issue is -- running espeakup in debug mode yields nothing,
I'm using espeak with Orca without a hitch, espeak works fine from the
command line, and speakup seems to be running smoothly. Is anyone
experiencing simptems like this? Has anyone gotten speakup to work
with espeak on Fedora 17?

Preupgrade failure F15->F17, cannot find an Adobe related file on any mirror.
by Quicksort
Platform: F15 x64 (—>F17)
Hello everybody,
Preupgrade aborts upon the following:
“Failure: repodata/filelists.xml.gz
from preupgrade-adobe-linux-i386
(Errno 256). No more mirrors to try”
I am wondering if this file is actually
needed on a x64 install.
If it’s not, preupgrade will have a hard
time finding it.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

ssh-agent no longer started with 3.3 kernels (F16/17)?
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Up to before the 3.3 kernels showed up in F16, I was able to do the
following:
ssh-add
without a problem.
>From the 3.3 kernel updates on, I get the following:
$ ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
This is worked around on window-by-window or tab-by-tab basis by doing
the following:
$ ssh-agent bash
followed by
$ ssh-add
and then things revert back to the previous behaviour (only for that
tab/window, however). This is quite irritating.
I have tried this with a fully updated F16 as well as a shiny new F17.
Same problem. The problem however does not show up with the rusty old
F16 (the one that came "in the box", or rather the usb/cd so to speak).
I am using the LXDE spin.
Any ideas as to what is causing this behaviour? How to fix it
permanently? Does it call for a bugzilla report? Under what component?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

upgrading with preupgrade-cli --vnc
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak
Hi all,
What grub2 secret sauce do I need to upgrade remote servers to F17 using
vnc?
This is the first step, clearly:
preupgrade-cli --vnc=apassword --ip=192.168.0.240
--gateway=192.168.0.128 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --dns=192.168.0.2
"Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)"
However, this installs the upgrade boot menu item as a non-default item.
In other words, by default it will boot back into F16 without doing the
upgrade.
What's the correct way of forcing the upgrade choice in the grub2 menu
to be the default, so I don't need a local user at the console?
I edited /etc/default/grub, setting grub2_default to "0", and ran:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
but that wiped out the upgrade choice entirely. Not sure why.
I don't think the preupgrade-cli docs have caught up with grub2.

FC17 netstat does not report SCTP associations properly
by Peter Butler
This issue appears to have been introduced with FC17 as it was working
properly with FC16.
Basically, when listing SCTP associations via netstat (i.e. "netstat
--sctp"), an error is displayed (see below). Servers appear to be listed
without issue - although that could just be due to the specific parameters
of my application. In any case, the servers and associations appear to be
listed properly in /proc/net/sctp/eps and /proc/net/sctp/assocs, so
presumably (?) the issue is just with netstat's interpretation of the data
in /proc.
Example:
After starting an SCTP server:
the netstat output is correct:
[peter@peter ~]$ netstat -nap --sctp
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
PID/Program name
sctp 0 0 10.91.20.100:4105 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
1602/server
and it matches that in /proc:
[peter@peter ~]$ cat /proc/net/sctp/eps
ENDPT SOCK STY SST HBKT LPORT UID INODE LADDRS
ffff880222fdac00 ffff880221d504c0 2 10 9 4105 1000 27667
10.91.20.100 10.91.10.100
[peter@peter ~]$ cat /proc/net/sctp/assocs
ASSOC SOCK STY SST ST HBKT ASSOC-ID TX_QUEUE RX_QUEUE UID INODE
LPORT RPORT LADDRS <-> RADDRS HBINT INS OUTS MAXRT T1X T2X RTXC
Whereas after an association is established by a client:
the netstat output reports an error where the two client lines would
normally be output (2 lines due to 2 addresses on client side of
association):
[peter@peter ~]$ netstat -nap --sctp
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
PID/Program name
sctp 0 0 10.91.20.100:4105 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
1602/server
SCTP error in line: 1
SCTP error in line: 2
the server entry matches that in /proc:
[peter@peter ~]$ cat /proc/net/sctp/eps
ENDPT SOCK STY SST HBKT LPORT UID INODE LADDRS
ffff880222fdac00 ffff880221d504c0 2 10 9 4105 1000 27667
10.91.20.100 10.91.10.100
and the client entries are also reported in /proc:
[peter@peter ~]$ cat /proc/net/sctp/assocs
ASSOC SOCK STY SST ST HBKT ASSOC-ID TX_QUEUE RX_QUEUE UID INODE
LPORT RPORT LADDRS <-> RADDRS HBINT INS OUTS MAXRT T1X T2X RTXC

OT: Very slow download of Fedora-17 via BitTorrent
by Jonathan Ryshpan
Downloading Fedora-17 via bittorrent is going very slowly, averaging
about 150 Kbytes/sec on a connection that usually achieves about 300
Kbytes/sec. More interesting is that the connection is useless for
every other purpose: very slow access to the Web; connections time out;
etc. When bittorrent is paused, these problems go away. My provider is
ATT, which advertizes connection speeds of about 300 Kbytes/sec down and
75 Kbytes/sec up.
Is ATT or anyone else watching for bittorrent traffic on my connection
and cutting back other service because of it.

F17 preupgrade with efi?
by Christian Menzel
Hi,
I have a ThinkPad X220 with F16 booting with efi, so my grub.conf is
located in /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf.
But preupgrade makes changes to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which (of course) is
not taken into account while booting.
I have not found any parameter to tell preupgrade that it's working on an
efi system.
So my question is: Is preupgrade supported on efi systems or should I just
use yum to upgrade to F17?
Regards
Chris
