FC19, 3.11.6-200, and ATI video
by mark
I've just updated a user's FC19 box to the latest. No X. Period. I can use
xinit to get a window, but no fonts at all. Startx from init 3 gives me a
black screen.
When I look at Xorg.0.log, no matter if I have the radeon driver
blacklisted or not, whatever driver it uses is not for this kernel. The
proprietary one fails to build - as a start, it's still using
create_proc_entry.
The box has a FirePro 2260.
What can I do to get my user up and running, other than, say, installing
CentOS...?

It is worse than that. It apparently doesn't store the
ignored info anywhere, because if a mountpoint appears
again then disappears again, it will warn you again
no matter what you might have told it previously.
This appears to be another case of butt-headed developers
since lots of users have asked for a way to eradicate
this "feature" but the requests are always rejected
as "user is wrong".
I think I put in a syslog rule to just filter out all the
messages since there is no practical way to make them
stop.

X-Server fails to start
by Klaus-Peter Schrage
Every once and a while, say in 5 out of 10 boot events, the boot process
stalls and ends up in a text console
(kernel 3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64, KDE 4.11.2-1, NVIDIA graphics card with
nouveau driver):
[snip]
Starting The KDE login manager...
[ OK ] Started The KDE login manager.

[end of output]
Sometimes there are a few more lines of output after FAILED, but the
boot process always finishes around that line.
The last lines of Xorg.0.log are:
[snip]
[ 45.416] (II) NOUVEAU(0): NVLeaveVT is called.
[ 45.417] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Closed GPU channel 0
[ 45.447] (EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
[/snip]
I can get to another text console, but doing 'startx' only gives me a
very rudimentary graphical desktop, not KDE.
I have searched bugzilla for the term 'Failed to start Wait for Plymouth
Boot Screen to Quit' with no results, and even googling didn't produce
anything to help me further.
Any help of the wise people on this list would be greatly appreciated.

Got myself in a bind
by Paolo Galtieri
I'm running F19 with all the latest updates. I did something as a
normal user that has made my system unusable. I'm running the mate
desktop and here are the issues I'm having:
1) No applets in the notification area except the date/time applet.
2) Only one of 2 Ethernet interfaces comes up. Even after rebooting.
3) The only desktop I can use is Mate, there is no option for me to
choose something else.
4) Why is one network interface labeled em1 and the other enp4s4?
What I did that may have caused the problem is to change the name of the
network interface as shown in nm-applet. nm-applet showed the name as
enp4s4 while ifconfig showed it as p5p1. After I did this I could no
longer get that interface to start. I tried deleting the interface and
adding it back in and I still could not get the interface to come up.
In fact at some point in time after stopping and restarting Network
Manager the p5p1 interface no longer showed up in nm-applet. Finally I
killed nm-applet assuming it would restart, but nothing happened. I
tried to add the notification area back in, but this doesn't work. I
can click on add to panel and select the notification area and click on
add, but nothing happens. I even tried logging in as a different user
and there was no nm-applet in the notification area. Running ps showed
nm-applet to be running as the user id I was logged in as, but it didn't
show up in the notification area.
So how the F*** do I get the notification area restored? and how the
F*** do I get Network Manager to see and configure both network interfaces?
Of course I can re-install F19 and re-download all the updates, but I
hope there is a better way than that.

Bit of a problem
by Roger
I have a HD with 2 partitions. Ubuntu 13.04 on one, primary boot is
through ubuntu grub and Fedora 19 on partition 2 which I use all the time.
Ubuntu13.04 ran into a problem yesterday during software update, it lost
the internet connection and errors out with a dialog to say internet
connection is lost.
I tried it again this morning with same result after checking the
internet and ensuring connection with fedora and ubuntu on eth0.
I do not understand why ubuntu loses internet during update when it can
download files and emails ok.
Ubutnu 13.04 has problem for me, I have run all the cleanups and tests
and run only the minimum of apps and there are no errors reported, but
it takes >30 seconds to start a terminal and another 50 seconds before
the prompt appears.
Because Fedora 19 is booted from the ubuntu grub partition I am
reluctant to reinstall a fresh ubuntu because if it trashes Fedora I
have major hassles re installing Rails and Drupal which are day projects
on both linuxes.
Is there any way I can change the boot to Fedora?
I am seriously considering reverting ubuntu to 12LTS which my daughters
run without a problem.
Will it be safe as in not trashing Fedora to do a fresh U-LTS install,
are there any gotchas I need to be aware of?
Does anyone else experience difficulties with Ubuntu 13.04?
Help very much appreciated
thanks in advance

fedora19 cups 1.6.4 released Oct 11 broke printer
by Nate Pearlstein
I print from Mac OS 10.8.x to a Fedora 19 print server using hplip and the latest cups upgrades broke printing.
The output is severely stretched and large and some pictures are black.
Reverting to cups 1.6.2 using:
yum downgrade cups cups-filesystem cups-lpd cups-libs cups-ipptool cups-devel
fixed the problem. I would have gone back to the previous release cups 1.6.3 but yum downgrade seems to have picked the base fedora 19 cups not a previous update.
I'm assuming the change here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010580 caused it. if I knew what info should be collected I'd file a bug.

Core file location and abrt
by Braden McDaniel
I'd like to ensure core files go to a local partition rather than the
default location ($HOME), which is network-mounted in my case.
Googling a bit, I found this:
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/61536
In light of that, a few questions...
Does this still apply to abrt in Fedora 19?
That page suggests that when abrt is in use, core files would be
generated in the location set by abrt, which defaults
to /var/spool/abrt. However, I have abrtd running and I'm definitely
getting core files in $HOME. Does abrt just make a copy to put
in /var/spool/abrt?
Might my problem be resolved as simply as telling abrt not to make a
copy? I'd be fine with just having the core files in /var/spool/abrt.
Otherwise, I imagine I'd like them somewhere named /var/users/$USER/dump
(or similar). How do I do that and continue to play nicely with abrt?

Can't boot Live from USB - unknown fs type, can't mount root
by Oliver Ruebenacker
Hello,
I downloaded Fedora 19 Live CD and copied it to a USB flash drive via dd.
When I try to boot from it on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430s, I do get a screen
that says that Fedora Live CD is going to load, but then it fails. The
first error message I see is:
kernel: SQUASHFS error: unable to read id index table
Then, some lines later, I get several lines that say:
dracut-mount[361]: mount: unknown filesystem type 'DM_snapshot_cow'
and then:
dracut-mount[361]: Warning: Can't mount root file system
And then I seem to be in a "dracut emergency shell"
Any ideas? Thanks!
Best,
Oliver
