If i install FC2-test1 on my box and i point my yum to the development tree: [development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree baseurl=ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch and i upgrade all packages from the development tree it is enough to have FC2-test2 installed or i should download the FC2-test2 to have the all new packages? Or simply, it is enough if i update my release always from the development tree to have the latest release/test release installed on my box? or i should download the released isos every time and then upgrade to the development tree to have the latest and newest packages?

I made a new user to match the old one, tried to log in, and gdm promptly tells me that my home directory did not exist. A simple ls told me that it did, and I had to poke around at this for a while before recalling the whole security context issue. A quick check of /var/log/messages revealed the issue - no security contexts set on the /home filesystem. I ran the suggested 'fixfiles relabel' from the release notes, and this fixed the problem. It did, however, require a reboot as X11 no longer started due to some other context issue. Smooth sailing after the reboot. - J.

Blank console (although the monitor sync rate reports that the text mode *has* been set correctly) under the vesa driver on a Geforce 5700 Ultra. The behavior was the same under both the XFree and xorg X servers. The NVidia drivers work fine, although they require a kernel recompile as the nvidia module won't work with CONFIG_4KSTACKS.

Maybe RH should (half serious) just adopt and adapt (now GPLd) YaST. Comparatively speaking, YaST is treated like a first class citizen by the developers. IMO, newbies will find YaST more consistent, less buggy, and have broader coverage of system admin tasks than the system-config tools. Just an observation by a long time RH administrator who has recently had to come up to speed on the competition.

For what it's worth, I experience identical problems on my Compaq Presario 2133AC (with the same video adapter), whenever I try to do anything that runs OpenGL stuff (such as screensavers, or glxinfo/glxgears). I haven't tried what happens when one logs out, but I'll give it a go soon. I believe that the radeon driver that comes with x11-org recognises the IGP230M, and assumes it can do 3D, which it can't (yet). I haven't tried the latest rawhide stuff yet either, but I hope to try that later today as well.

The only way I can get around this is to remove the cdrom drive from the laptop, which causes the install program to bring up a text menu asking for my language, keyboard, and source media. Unfortunately the computer doesn't recognise my cdrom drive anymore. Anyone have any idea why this is happening, or if it is ACPI's fault. I'm not sure how to disable ACPI during GRUB boot, either.

Will be splitting this one up soon. ================== Downloading binaries - Did an overnight Bittorrent grab. Woke up to 4 shiny new iso's. Install attempt #1 - Burned first iso. Already had FCT1 on /dev/hdc1 and planned on using same partition for T2. - Booted off CD and fine through the initial setup screens until it went to grab the librpm.so when it crashed cuz it couldn't find the file. Silly me. So I did an md5sum and found all 4 iso's were bad. Uh huh. So much for Bittorrent infallibility. - Another 2 BT downloads and the first 2 iso's were fine. But disc3 and 4 refused to match the published MD5s. So I checked with Downloader for X from a web mirror which promptly told me that iso's 3 and 4 were just fine, thank you. Elected to believe D4X and went ahead with the install. Install attempt #2 - Having already shown myself that a CD install would have been fine with good CDs, I elected to set up a hard drive install. Note to self: if your target drive is mounted as /home then the target drive will be jb/FC2-test2-binary-i386, not /home/jb.... - So I loop mounted the disc1 iso and copied the vmlinuz and initrd files to my /boot partition. Set up a new stanza in grub.conf for the T2 installer and off we went. Kitchen sink install as always for a test. - What can I say? Not one single hiccup. I went to work with it installing packages and came back to the completion/reboot screen. Firstboot - The usual stuff with firstboot and then I was in. Can't say I notice any difference with xorg server but then my lowly old Radeon is *not* going to stress any of the video side. HOWEVER, I quickly learned the consequences of electing to enable the selinux extensions during the install. I tried to do the s-c-x configs and every one of them refused my root password. Definitely a cool feature. I will have to read up on selinux but I assume that there are some hoops I have to jump through to give me admin privileges. This makes setting up a box and then locking it down that much easier. To do - Turn off all the silly unneeded system services. - Kill graphical boot. - Play and get my bugzilla fingers loosened up.

My logs show that I have not been able to use rsync for the last week. I'm also aware of the earlier notice that public rsync access may be withdrawn at any time. As far as I could tell, that's what happened. It's not the end of the world. So, you can't support rsync access. That's fine, but I've also wasted a lot of MY time trying to chase down working mirrors, over the last couple of months; and I think that when you maintain a list of publicly accessible mirrors that it would certainly be COURTEOUS for that to contain an actual list of functioning mirrors.

No, I don't have a problem specifically with your mirror. I do have the problem with the official mirror list often going woefully stale, from time to time, and I'm trying my best to keep it up to date. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

On install, the two raid drives are detected as hde and hdg (why no hdf?!?) and since the contents are in NTFS, obviously the installer can't read them. Instead anaconda instructs me to WIPE them out removing ALL DATA! It's not really a bug, but an installer threatening to kill my large RAID for no apparent reason is a bit scary. The same SATA boot problems are still happening... once again, the grey PC boot screen comes up and dies when it gets to "Setting Hostname". So that's where my testing on that machine ended. Also, any idea why FC2 is giving me two kernels? I don't have a twin CPU machine (I recently put a a 533Mhz P4 3.06Ghz into my box) so now I can't see why I am getting an SMP kernel as an added bonus. Also, I noticed some anomalies in the text version of the installer. After completing installing test2 in text mode, I am told to hit Enter to reboot the system. Hitting Enter just makes the cursor go down the screen.... forcing me to give the computer the three finger salute. Also, I tried installing test2 on a really old Pentium I machine in text mode. When it came time to swap CDs, the computer decided to reset itself instead. When I retried the install with no extra packages (and no CD change) install was OK on that machine. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 From mike at netlyncs.com Thu Apr 1 04:11:19 2004 From: mike at netlyncs.com (Mike Chambers) Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 22:11:19 -0600 Subject: FC mirror update.

Guess what, our mirror does function, and if you had asked us about it we could have told you that, instead you decided to be a jerk and complain about it in public. What a shame. Do you know what's been going on with the mirrors? do you know why they've been out of sync and problematic? Let's see: - rawhide did a complete roll 3 weeks ago - so we had a change up of ~30GB of data. - red hat moved some of their systems to a new colo in phoenix - lots of busy-ness with that - rhm1 the primary mirror for the I2 folks was in a less-than-useful state for a while and caused the mirrors on I2 to have a hard time getting data. Most of the mirrors ending in .edu are I2. - ~8 trillion people have decided that updating, nightly, to rawhide is fun and party-like causing more of a load than normal on all mirrors. -sv From skvidal at phy.duke.edu Thu Apr 1 04:18:59 2004 From: skvidal at phy.duke.edu (seth vidal) Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2004 23:18:59 -0500 Subject: FC mirror update.

My only gripe is they reverted back to evolution 1.4 which means my 1.5 stuff is gone - but I can't really lay the blame on them for that, it is risky using a test release for real e-mail stuff (though that is imho the best way to really test something - use it) Reverting versions (they went to more stable versions of some of the libraries evolution needs) was probably the right thing to do. GNUCash now works for me, I suspect that's why. The default SELinux settings did not work - but I re-installed with SELinux disabled (single user desktop - no servers - don't *really* need it) and it is quite smooth.

I would prefer it if I could set a preference to which gnome panel the app gets added to - since I don't want my application launchers at the top.

Can you boot single CPU kernel? If so - try building a vanilla kernel with SMP support and booting that. That may give a clue as to who's fault the panic us (patches or vanilla) Also if you can boot single cpu - maybe the 2.4 fedora kernel has the issue resolved - so you could update to that.

The resulted files are: iteraid.ko iteraid.o iteraid.mod.c itetaid.mod.o now, I have read how to build a driver disk (http://faq.linux.cz/pracovni/driver-disk-howto); I have downloaded the binary driver from ite.com.tw for the 2.4 kernel where I have replaced the modules.cgz file resulted after compilation. But, I can't manage to insert the module when the installer starts. It keeps saying invalid compressed data , cpio: read failed ... btw. for the 2.6 kernel the modules are files with *.ko extension ? Only this file is required to insert a driver as a module? thanks --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

What you ask is more than a small patch, so I would say it is unlikely that this will be developed for Fedora/Red Hat specifically.

It was entered into bugzilla for FC2T1 and was a big nuisance for me too so. Incase it was not, I fixed it on my FC2T1 setup with the 2.6.4 kernel update from RHN and by installing the synaptics driver for XFree that lives at this address : http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/ If you are wondering about the patches to the kernel done by Dimitry Torokhov, those are present already in the 2.6.4-1.298 (and up?) kernel. All I had to do was download the Xfree driver and follow the instructions on how to install it and modify XF86config and hey presto. I am not sure when or where the doubletap functionality was lost and if this is by design or not, but in a way I am glad since this driver allows me to finetune many of the extended capabilities of the touchpad to my personal liking (acceleration, doubletap timelimits etc etc). Anyways, it worked like a charm on my Dell C600 so I am happy.

It is highly recommended that you run the official Red Hat Linux kernels. By running a custom kernel, you will miss out on any security fixes and functionality enhancements provided by Red Hat Linux, and your configuration is unsupported. Must be an aprils fool joke right ? I mean come on ... The great strenght of Linux is that you can configure and customize the kernel options to your personal needs. Am I to understand from this warning that Red Hat will refuse support to people that do so ? I can understand not wanting to get blamed for instabilities that might arise from kernels patched with unstable/untested 3rd party patches but customizing your .config (and recompiling) on an otherwise unalterd kernel source tree should be allowed no ?

Touchpad has been working for a while with the extra driver - certainly I've been using it since last summer. As mentioned above the change was within the input rewrite.

So I pick Linux from the the XP boot menu, which takes me to the grub menu.... Are you doing it that way or using grub as your main loader?

The > installer complained about partition alignment, is that related? Yes. The Windows XP CD rescue should recover Windows XP. The workaround I've found so far is to partition with fdisk (either on screen2 on Linux installer or other-os) leaving the linux partitions marked but empty. Fdisk is fine, but it seems the diskdruid/parted stuff corrupts partition tables in some cases (where the geometry and the one it expects differ).

Since the same rhn-applet code is used in RHEL, yes it means you invalidate your RHEL support when installing a non-RHEL kernel.

Sure it's allowed, but if you find bugs in an upstream kernel, you should report them to upstream, not Red Hat. It's that simple. The rhn applet is basically telling you "don't tell us about it if it breaks".

The current FC2 devel 2.6.4 kernel includes the changes from 2.6.5-rc3, and the latest FC2 devel policy package has been rebuilt for the new policy version. Compatibility support in the kernel, checkpolicy, and SysVinit has been provided to ease the transition; the new kernel will accept either policy version (but tells userspace to try the latest version first), checkpolicy will generate the old policy version if called with -c (and the policy Makefile has a POLICYCOMPAT definition to use it), and /sbin/init will try loading an older policy version if it cannot find the latest one. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From Philip.R.Schaffner at NASA.gov Thu Apr 1 16:12:11 2004 From: Philip.R.Schaffner at NASA.gov (Phil Schaffner) Date: Thu, 01 Apr 2004 11:12:11 -0500 Subject: update or upgrade FC2T2 to release version In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1080835931.22630.21.camel@radar0.larc.nasa.gov> On Thu, 2004-04-01 at 10:38, Jim Christiansen wrote: > I've always wondered if I could upgrade a rawhide to a release version but > have never asked or tried before.

On the other hand, I have upgraded from RH73 through FC2T2 on one machine, paying careful attention to obsolete packages, and it is working. Another that had a clean install of FC2T1 was completely hosed and unbootable after an attempted update when the FC2T2 stuff was hitting the mirrors. Caveat tester.

It is not addressed directly in any way. Considering that there is clear potential for conflict of interest, perhaps the issue of compatibility with RHEL should be explicitly addressed. Please note that I am not making any accusations here. Far from it; RedHat is doing a great job of walking the line. But it is an issue that should be addressed clearly from the start. FWIW, here are the items from the objectives page that seem to at least dance around the issue a bit: 6. Emphasize usability and a "just works" philosophy in selecting default configuration and designing features. (CIPE, the protocol that FC1 users and RHL migrators would be using doesn't "just work". I agree that users' moving to ipsec should be strongly encouraged. But I disagree that it should be sprung upon them with no warning or transition period.) 7. Promote rapid adoption of new releases by maintaining easy upgradeability, with minimal disturbances to configuration changes. (I'd call redoing both ends of all your servers' VPN connections, without notice, more than a "minimal disturbance".) 13. Form the basis of Red Hat's commercially supported operating system products. (I would call this a suggestion of compatibility. True, it doesn't actually say so in so many words, but it implies it. So if compatibility is not really a goal, this is all the more reason to state it clearly as a nonobjective.) A corporate mix of RHEL servers and FC desktops seems like a very obvious and attractive combo. So FC's stance on compatibility is likely to generate either a lot of joy or a lot of tears, depending. -Steve From yonasb at netzero.com Thu Apr 1 16:18:24 2004 From: yonasb at netzero.com (yonas abraham) Date: Thu, 01 Apr 2004 11:18:24 -0500 Subject: tuxracer and chromium locks X Message-ID: <406C40D0.10703@netzero.com> can anyone try and verify this.

This implies that pppd is trying to create or unlink a file in /etc/ppp. I'd suggest creating a separate type for /etc/ppp to avoid giving any write access to other parts of /etc, and also a type for whatever files under /etc/ppp should be writable by pppd. Possible approach: 0) Install policy-sources if not already installed. Caveat: If you install the latest devel policy-sources, you may need to update your kernel and policy as well, as there has been an extension to the policy engine and policy binary format. 1) Add the following lines to /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/domains/program/pppd.te: # Define a separate type for /etc/ppp etcdir_domain(pppd) # Define a separate type for writable files under /etc/ppp type pppd_etc_rw_t, file_type, sysadmfile; # Automatically label newly created files under /etc/ppp with this type file_type_auto_trans(pppd_t, pppd_etc_t, pppd_etc_rw_t, file) 2) cd /etc/security/selinux/src/policy && make load 3) chcon -R -t pppd_etc_t /etc/ppp You will also want to update policy/file_contexts/program/pppd.fc to ensure that the type is preserved by any future relabels/restorecon/rpm operations, e.g. /etc/ppp(/.*)? system_u:object_r:pppd_etc_t You may also want to restorecon /etc/ppp/*secrets, as the above chcon will have changed them to pppd_etc_t as well. Then you can retry pppd, and see what happens. In particular, it will be useful to see what files end up getting created with pppd_etc_rw_t in /etc/ppp. A possible problem is that putting /etc/ppp into this new type will make it inaccessible to other domains unless you add rules allowing such access, so further allow rules may be needed. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From jmorris at redhat.com Thu Apr 1 17:05:27 2004 From: jmorris at redhat.com (James Morris) Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 12:05:27 -0500 (EST) Subject: enforcing=-1 causes fire In-Reply-To: <5870.64.223.201.130.1080836891.squirrel@mail.ceimaine.org> Message-ID: On Thu, 1 Apr 2004 whb at ceimaine.org wrote: > Yikes!

I'm assuming this is an April joke, but to clarify, enforcing=-1 has the same effect as enforcing=1, it's treated as a boolean (i.e. either zero or not). - James -- James Morris From efthym at gmx.net Thu Apr 1 17:01:31 2004 From: efthym at gmx.net (Efthym) Date: Thu, 01 Apr 2004 12:01:31 -0500 Subject: Bug #116654: atkbd.c: Keyboard on isa0060/serio0 reports too many keys pressed.

The system is still functional (the mouse works) and I can start programs and do everything normally, except use the keyboard. The strange thing is the message keeps repeating in the logs, so I suppose there is response to the keypresses. the only keys that seem to work is if I press CTRL+ALT+DEL. Then the system reboots ! Nothing comes up in the X logs. Should I look for something else ? Should I add this in Bugzilla under the same bug or start another ?

What I found was that in a reboot after an update (FC2 Test1) that X now mis-identified my monitor. When I corrected this, these games ran fine again. One of the problems is that these games take exclusive use of the mouse and keyboard so when you have the blank screen you can't see to get out of them and can't even use ctrl-alt-backspace or ctrl-alt-del. So, try checking your monitor setting for X. -- John R. Munn Programmer/Analyst Preferred Employers Group, Inc.

I'm getting the same problem.

After setting selinux=0, enforcing=0, and audit=0 in boot and still no better, I reinstalled with SELinux disabled. Now I don't get any errors, but I also don't get past updating fstab.

You might temporarily get rid of grub from the MBR. Not sure what the XP equivalent of "fdisk /mbr" and "sys c:" are. Also the Mandrake bug report Feliciano refers to mentions changes in the BIOS made by the installer. Might also be the case here, so check your BIOS settings as well.

Upgrade seemed to proceed well; my main complaints were (1) it didn't eject the CD before asking for the next one, and (2) no cute slides to look at while the installer did its thing. Once all the packages were upgraded, though, I got a Python traceback; "kernelLabel referenced before assignment", in writeBootloader, line 131. Anaconda then picked up its marbles and went home. I went ahead and booted the new system with the FC2t2 kernel; seemed to work until X started, at which point I got the sort of stairstep mess that suggests a severe disagreement somewhere over the width of the display. Couldn't go back to another virtual console, had to reset. When, instead, I boot the 2.6.5-rc3 kernel I had on there already, it all works - except it doesn't want to deal with my USB mouse (which it liked just fine during the upgrade).

I discovered that myself and corrected my original statement in a later post. However, here, I was speaking more generally. This is not the last time that a decision will have to be made to maintain RHEL compatibility or not. Can users of FC who use RHEL on the server expect ongoing breakage?

Google found http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2004/Mar/1229.html as the original patch and in a followup Greg KH says he has put it into "both the 2.4 and 2.6 usb trees". I am updating to kernel-[source-]2.6.4-1.300 at the moment, I will check if the patch made it in there and if not try to do it myself.

So I guess I have a few questions: 1. Is there anyone else here who would be interested in a cipe implementation from fedora.us? Or would I be doing it mainly for myself? 2. Would it just be a matter of maintaining the module(s) as an rpm throughout the FC2 life cycle. i.e. I would not have to mess with the rest of the kernel? 3. Would someone like me, who has never maintained an rpm package be likely to succeed at this and have it accepted at fedora.us? The 2.6 fedora kernel is not nearly so heavily patched as the old 2.4 kernel was, so if someone has already come up with a cipe kernel patch, this should mainly be a matter of packaging and maintenance on my part, right?

There is onboard SATA which I am not currently using; I only have drives on the onboard legacy IDE/UDMA133 controller. However, I can't install FC2 test2: (1) Can't boot off CD #1. It appears from the archives that this isn't unheard of. I can boot using either Smart Boot Manager (http://btmgr.sourceforge.net) or the boot.iso image from CD #1. The CD checks out OK. Not the problem I'm most concerned with. (2) Once I boot, I can't use any source method. Trying to use an install source from any of the via-rhine NIC, hda (hard disk), or hdd (CD-ROM) causes a prompt for a driver disk. Manually inserting the appropriate module produces no effect.

I would think so. I would like to offer another suggestion. How about transitioning all your machines to use openvpn instead? http://openvpn.sf.net/ It's secure, don't in userspace with tun or tap device, works on all the various redhat versions, there is even a windows version. Just need to compile and install the openvpn rpm on all your machines and switch the CIPE links to openvpn links. It's way easier to mange and setup than IPSEC, and doesn't require kernel mods. Just a suggestion.

I played a bit with upgrading T1 to T2. I am not so sure yet but it seems to me that the reason for that is that the whole machine really gets clobbered with "avc" syslog entries from selinux and this slows everything down to an unbearable crawl. If this is really the case then the thing to do would be turn off selinux on updates if found file systems do not have required labels. I am not sure if this is really doable. But maybe at least an option on an initial screen not to try to find things which are not there during upgrades? Then, at least, it would be possible to display a message sending to docs explaining how to install selinux afterwards. Kickstart would need such option too, I suppose.

I have two issues that have me stumped. 1. Trying to start an xterm on fedora_test from an old RedHat 7.2 installation. I get the message: "xterm Xt error: Can't open display :0" Is this an X authentication error related to having older versions writing to Xauth? Is there an easy fix for it? BTW When I ssh to the same machine and do an xterm through DISPLAY :10.0 it works properly. 2. Access to external web sites fails. Web sites on the same subnet work alright and I am able to ping external web site names. However telnet's to port 80 or mozilla web access fails with a timeout (either by name or bu IP address). Interestingly I was working fine under C2T1 *until* I upgraded my kernel through up2date from the 2.6.1 release to the 2.6.3 release (the default kernel in C2T2). (BTW I have set selinux=disabled for these tests and disabled the firewall). What should I look at in the kernel that might be causing this issue? (an IPv6 vs IPv4 problem?)

Quick guidelines: - Include a copy of the call trace (even if you dont know what it means someone else does) - If it is an error with a message include the exact message - And specify what you were doing As to gdb, the minimal guide to gdb is this. Find app that is crashing, from the command line gdb [appname] gdb> run [arguments to command] When it breaks gdb> where and attach the data. Threaded apps are a bit trickier but uncommon,and most bug reports are useful even without that kind of trace data. If "select this and press that" breaks it, I can break my own copy.

It's a 3.0GHz P4 (uni proc with HT enabled). Some glitches I encountered within the 5 minutes of testing I had: - GOK won't start. It complained about "can't read any keyboards". Another user already mentioned this on the list. No problem, I'll probably won't miss it but it makes a dumb impression when freshly installed software gives you such errors. ;) - I did a default workstation installation. KDE wasn't installed, so I called up the "add applications" thingy, selected KDE and hit the update button. It calculated the dependencies, asked for disk 2 (put in the disc, clicked ok) and it crashed. Tried it a few other times with the cd already in the drive; same thing happened. - After this I installed KDE by hand. Which worked alright, but it is kind of irritating to see hundreds of errors scroll over your terminal from rpm or selinux (whoever produces them; they are selinux related) before rpm gets to the actual update work. And yes, I disabled selinux during the installation. Oh yes, my first installation attempt failed; booted ok from cd and skipped the testing cd's part. It tried to start X, detected my mouse and monitor ok, I saw a cursor on the screen for about a second. Then X crashed, and anaconda gave up, rebooted the machine. On the second attempt I let anaconda test the first cd. No problems after that; X booted ok, and installation went ok (although I had the impression that it was slower than I am used from FC1, but I've no hard data to back that up; could this be a selinux related thing?). Apart from these bugs (and I probably will encounter more) t2 makes a lot better "first impression" then t1 did. Keep up the good work. -- Alexander.

Until the above dependency is fixed try: yum --exclude=Canna* --exclude=libdv update or address the individual packages that require the old versions of these libs. (the packages are at fault) To figure this out next time there is an issue, decide which package is responsible: rpm -qf `locate libdv.so.2` If the file mentioned is already on your system then it is being removed (to satisfy other new package dependencies) that you need for the (already installed) package requiring it. Removing the package that requires the lib/file being removed (this can sound pretty circular while explaining) or finding the appropriate update for it should solve the dependency to allow update to continue (remember that rawhide may easily break deps for packages from other repos, even if they are '1.91' or trying to track rawhide). -- "The only thing neccessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

URL: From villegas at math.gatech.edu Thu Apr 1 22:51:35 2004 From: villegas at math.gatech.edu (Carlos Villegas) Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 17:51:35 -0500 Subject: LVM problems in FC2 test 2 Message-ID: <20040401225135.GA1386@hemi.math.gatech.edu> LVM did improve from FC2 test 1 to test 2, but I'm still having serious problems with it upon boot: The system was kickstarted and the partitions were built from scratch (not reused), the relevant ks.cfg entries are: clearpart --all --initlabel part pv.01 --fstype ext3 --size 10241 --grow volgroup largespace pv.01 logvol /tmp --vgname largespace --size 2048 --name tmp / is in a normal partition (not LVM), as is /boot and /var The box is a dual opteron, and all this is for the x86_64 version. Anaconda worked flawlessly. During the first reboot I got problems finding / (yes, the root filesystem), getting a nice kernel panic. After some hacking around, I found that for some reason the LVM space was an ext3 filesystem also labeled "/" as was the / partition, and so the kernel argument "root=LABEL=/" was failing due to duplicate / entries. I booted in single user mode and changed the label of the LVM space to /LVM, however it still fails on the fsck, because the devices don't exist (/dev/largespace/tmp) in the example above. Using the command lvm in it's various incantations shows me that the LVM groups and partitions are actually there, and correct. As with test 1 I'm not sure which package is responsible for this bug (initscripts?, dev?, kernel?) please some one tell me or report it to the appropiate place. I disabled selinux.

After my first installation attempt I rebooted and saw hundreds of messages like: 'denied {write} for pid=1 exe=/sbin/init' Reading the selinux-faq in the release notes I tried adding 'selinux=0' to my kernel boot options. Now rebooting gives a different message: 'Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!' Back to the faq. Ah, reiserfs is not supported (but the installer allows you to do 'linux reiserfs' to enable support) with selinux. So I reinstalled and reformatted with ext3. Now I can boot, and things are looking up :-) Except networking is not working properly. I have a DHCP assigned IP address via a NetGear router (this all works fine in FC1). I can ping sites, but ftp or http just sit there. I disabled the firewall, set selinux=0, but no difference. I tried using traceroute, to see if anything was happening and I got the following: # traceroute www.cosmiczoo.com 1 10.181.64.1 (10.181.64.1) 23.645 ms 15.788 ms 14.497 ms 2 gsr01-hw.blueyonder.co.uk (62.30.144.129) 9.074 ms 9.416 ms 12.499 ms 3 172.18.28.37 (172.18.28.37) 10.021 ms 22.853 ms 46.619 ms MPLS Label=1027 CoS=3 TTL=1 S=0 4 tele2-har-pos.telewest.net (194.117.136.26) 10.589 ms 13.521 ms 10.091 ms MPLS Label=29 CoS=3 TTL=1 S=0 5 194.117.136.173 (194.117.136.173) 11.627 ms 14.892 ms 11.851 ms 6 linx.ge-0-0-0.gbr1.ltn.nac.net (195.66.224.94) 12.694 ms 10.224 ms 9.721 ms 7 0.so-0-3-0.gbr2.nwr.nac.net (209.123.11.209) 83.266 ms 122.052 ms 79.486 ms 8 0.so-0-3-0.gbr1.oct.nac.net (209.123.11.233) 82.857 ms 81.405 ms 103.185 ms 9 209.123.182.243 (209.123.182.243) 77.477 ms 113.146 ms 78.660 ms 10 * * * Then since ping was working I figured ICMP was too.

I haven't tried, but when I had a P4 2.4A CPU in the same hardware (I only swapped the CPU recently) FC1 had the same problem. It's definitely SATA RAID related because I can get the machine to boot if I just unplug the drives from the RAID controller on the motherboard. Still, I don't feel that I should have to open my case everytime I want to boot into FC. Also with the acpi options..... these are directives that I put into GRUB before booting, right? I've done this before in LILO, but I'm not sure how it works out in GRUB. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

If you boot your system and try to log into X as a normal user, and then log in as root on a virtual console, you should find one message in /var/log/messages that says something like { getattr } failed for /usr/bin/gdm-bin.

It seems I can agree with Igor about the 2.6.4-1.300 kernel fixing the transport problem identified by John, it is now accepting print jobs fine. Thanks for your help guys! (Unfortunately this Inspiron 5150 laptop video will only properly work with the nVidia binary driver (vesa works only up to 1280x1024, nv just dies) and kernels past .116 have the 4K stack thing that the nVidia binary driver is incompatible with.) I had one additional problem with the HP3550 and The Gimp. Even after fixing the usblp reliability problem, nothing would print. The usb printing process that used to hang would complete in a reasonable time, but nothing would issue from the printer. The solution turned out to be to remove the -oraw from the line lp -s -dHP3550 -oraw in The Gimp's Print...| Setup Printer... dialog. I didn't add this, it was done automatically presumably by The Gimp and it completely breaks printing with this printer. since /usr/bin/lp is a symlink that ends up at /usr/bin/lp.cups maybe it used to work but breaks CUPS somehow. One last cosmetic thing, the CUPS webpages still have notes on to edit the printer definitions using *redhat*-config-printer. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....

Without being funny, if people are unable to hit "a" at the boot menu and then append 1 to the kernel line, then i sincerely doubt they will be able to fix their problems. I am not sure if it is possible to append any thing to the kernel that tells it to work in permissive mode as apposed to enforcing. If you disable SELinux then it may cause more problems then it's worth. The easiest way I found was to boot into single user mode, edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and edit that line to say I believe permissive. Then telinit 5 (or reboot, cant remember which) and carried on with the updates, which fixed the problem I was having.

I think the reproducer may be being staff_r not sysadm_r under enforcing when you run - certainly this post lends itself to that: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2004-April/msg00036.html Paul From alex at nibbles.it Fri Apr 2 16:58:42 2004 From: alex at nibbles.it (Alessandro Polverini) Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 18:58:42 +0200 Subject: One little glitch: modprobe.conf In-Reply-To: <20040401213720.15197.qmail@lwn.net> References: <20040401213720.15197.qmail@lwn.net> Message-ID: <1080925122.15175.55.camel@japot> On Thu, 2004-04-01 at 23:37, Jonathan Corbet wrote: > My ASUS motherboard has a Marvell ethernet on it; the system also has an > eepro100 card plugged into it.

It is not likely that fresh install is needed or even desired at this point. You have rpm installed even if not recorded (and as long as rpm2cpio is available _somewhere_ you can unpack with it rpm file for rpm and copy results to your target). Most likely something like that would be enough (while in a correct role if in a selinux mode): rpm --rebuilddb rpm -Uvh --replacefiles rpm-4*.rpm but even that may destroy an evidence you are after.

I got this same problem after doing a yum update on 4-1 (about 150 packages). I believe a policy update was in the mix. I could only get into the failsafe session as root/staff_r. Had to newrole -r sysadm_r to run as real root. setfiles /home didn't fix the problem. Neither did fixfiles relabel (and reboot). Looking in /etc/security/selinux I found a policy.15 file and a policy.16 file. The policy.16 file was date stamped as the original install from CD. The policy.15 file was date stamped March 24, which I assume was time of packaging. I moved the policy.16 file to /root leaving only file_contexts and policy.15 in the selinux directory. When I went to logout gdm got caught in a loop trying to restart over and over. A three-finger salute took the system down via init6. After the reboot, the system is AOK. Login with home directory and enforcement is on. No scientific analysis was done here. I just "tried something" and it worked. Hope this helps.

Depending on the "Access Mode" in use, my BIOS detect the following geometry : o "Access Mode" set on "Auto" o "Access Mode" set on "LBA" Cylinder = 38309 Cylinder = 9729 Head = 16 Head = 255 Sector = 255 Sector = 63 1. BEFORE installing FC2test2, I boot in FC1 and I get the following : # hdparm -g /dev/hda geometry = 9729/255/63 # fdisk /dev/hda" 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cyl. NB : I get the same result whatever the "Access Mode" is ("Auto" or "LBA"). 2. DURING install of FC2T2, I get the following warning : "Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that another partioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't have the correct BIOS geometry. It is safe to ignore, but ignoring may cause (fixable) problems with some boot loaders". After that DiskDruid displays a strange partition tables containing some small free spaces (< 1 cyl. each) beetween my partitions. NB : This happens with both "Access Mode=Auto" and "Access Mode=LBA". But this doesn't happen when installing FC1 on the same HD, with the same partition table ! 3. AFTER installing FC2T2, my disk geometry seems to be different now : - If I boot in FC2T2 : # hdparm -g /dev/hda geometry = 65535/16/63 (with "Access Mode" set to "Auto" or to "LBA") - If I boot in FC1 : # hdparm -g /dev/hda geometry = 155061/16/63 (with "Access Mode" set to "Auto") geometry = 9729/255/63 (with "Access Mode" set to "LBA") - With both FC1 and FC2test2, "fdisk /dev/hda" gives : 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155061 cyl. And with "fdisk -H 255 /dev/hda", I get : 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cyl. But this time, if I print the partition table with "p", I get "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary" and the same message for partitions 2, 3 and 4. 4. With "Access Mode" set to "Auto", Windows XP (/dev/hda1) doesn't boot anymore. (It did boot before installing FC2T2). With "Access Mode" set to "LBA", it does boot again. 5.

Part of the reason I could not understand the bug, is that I could not believe windows XP was still using the error prone int13 function 2 (CHS based) instead of the (available everywhere for some time) int13 function 0x42. Under linux, grub and lilo only use function 2 when function 0x42 fails (they don't even ask the BIOS if it manages 0x42 since some BIOS don't report correctly having this functionality, cf FORCE_LBA in grub) The other reason is that I thought BIOS faking heads number (the so-called LBA mode) was a choice independant of the content of the drive. This is wrong, the BIOS tries to adapt its mode based on the partition table [1] So here is what happened: - kernel 2.6 doesn't try to give the logical geometry, and gives the physical geometry instead [2] - diskdrake uses the physical geometry to generate the CHS information (which is a broken duplicate of the linear sector number) - the BIOS sees the partition table uses a different CHS geometry, and adapt to it - ... and Windows computes the CHS to read its stage1.5 based on the previous geometry that it keeps in its boot sector. Alas the CHS doesn't get the same sector and Windows's boot dies (with very bad error detection) [3] Bug occurence: the pb only occurs when you modify the partition table, since otherwise diskdrake won't write it. Code fix description: inspired by the way new fdisk and parted detects the logical geometry based on the partition table [4]. parted code is especially quite robust. The fix is now included in cooker (DrakX #1.912), so: I still would like to access the BIOS geometry, esp. for empty partition tables. But kernel 2.6 doesn't give us this (/sys/firmware/edd/int13_dev80/default_heads is plain wrong on a box here) Known workaround: forcing LBA mode in the BIOS Fixing partition table: with diskdrake from drakxtools-10-24mdk do % diskdrake --change-geometry=hda=255,63 where - you replace hda with your drive device - if Windows still fails, try adapting 255,63 to your drive LBA emulation. For this, see what is the geometry your BIOS gives when forcing LBA emulation [1] http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0311.3/1142.html [2] http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0311.3/0898.html [3] http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0311.3/1029.html [4] http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0311.3/1164.html ####snap#### -- shrek-m From czar at czarc.net Fri Apr 2 18:58:35 2004 From: czar at czarc.net (Gene C.)

E.g., my laptop has (or used to have) multiple CIPE interfaces that were never supposed to be up at the same time: one to connect it to my home gateway, for when I'm not at home; one to connect it to my desktop, when my desktop is connected to the Red Hat VPN; and one to connect directly to Red Hat. Dag's /etc/init.d/openvpn is an all-or-nothing thing; I'd much rather be able to ifup or ifdown interfaces individually, as a user even. I'll try to play a little bit with it in the near future and come up with something usable for me.

You can change the default for root by copying /etc/security/default_contexts to /root/.default_contexts and editing it appropriately. Likely need to chcon -t default_context_t /root/.default_contexts to ensure that it is accessible to sshd. To make it ask for a context at login time, you'd have to modify the pam_selinux logic (which presently will only prompt for a context if the 'multiple' option was specified for pam_selinux in /etc/pam.d/sshd and if stdin is a tty), and I'm not sure whether that would work. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From Brian.Cain at motorola.com Fri Apr 2 21:53:39 2004 From: Brian.Cain at motorola.com (Brian Cain) Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2004 15:53:39 -0600 Subject: [anaconda] Failed hard drive install Message-ID: <406DE0E3.80404@motorola.com> Greetings! I tried a Fedora Core 2 (1.91) install this morning, but ran into some trouble. I downloaded the DVD iso, checked the md5sum (it matched), then mounted it via the loopback, and copied its contents onto an (ext2-formatted) ATA hard drive partition (hde1). When I booted Fedora (from a CD created from the images/bootcd.iso file), it claimed that no installation media could be found, and that I needed a driver to be able to access the hard drive (which I assume might be necessary for less popular disk controllers that weren't compiled into the Fedora installer's kernel -- scsi, e.g.). In the logs terminal, I could see a bunch of lines that looked like "devices[n]: MANUFACTURER MODEL ... hd using ignore" One of which was along the lines of "devices[1]: WDC 80 ... hde using ignore (not ____)" Sorry about the lousy error messages, this is all from memory. If it's helpful, I'll gather more logs and quote them precisely. So, the relevant details: hde is connected via a promise PCI controller card, but I'm figuring that once it gets allocated a letter, the kernel's already hip to it, right? Do I really need to get a driver disk, or is there some greater conspiracy afoot? Is there any way for me to drop into a BusyBox, mount the hard drive myself, and point the installer to a specific path? BTW, I don't know if it matters, but apparently my video card wasn't jiving with the installer, because it was curses-based, not X-based.

Message-ID: <20040402220540.GA11879@thacker.dyndns.org> Several people seem to be confused when they get error messages like this from yum: Package ethereal needs libpcap.so.0.8.1 Package ethereal-gnome needs libpcap.so.0.8.1 Package transcode needs libdv.so.2 Package libquicktime needs libdv.so.2 Package mjpegtools needs libdv.so.2 Package dvgrab needs libdv.so.2 Package pwlib needs libdv.so.2 Package xemacs needs libRKC.so.1.2 Package xemacs needs libcanna.so.1.2 This does NOT mean that libpcap, libdv, and Canna-libs are missing. Rather, the situation is quite the reverse. Generally this error happens when the package that provided libpcap.so.0.8.1 , libdv.so.2 , and so on (the libpcap, libdv, and Canna-libs pacakges in this case) have updated, and packages which depended on the old version of the libraries no long have satisfied dependencies. What needs to happen is that the packages on the left-- ethereal, dvgrab, pwlib, xemacs, etc. need to be rebuilt against the new versions of the libraries. One way to do that is to remove the offending packages, update the libraries, and then grab and rebuild the SRPMs of the offending packages. For the packages which are distributed with FC, there will generally be updated packages rebuilt in a couple of days. For some reason, the text of the error message seems to confuse a lot of people, and they think that the problem is that libdv, libpcap, etc. are missing. What's happened is that libdv now supplies libdv.so.4 , for example, so the other packages need to be rebuilt against the new version. It's NOT a mirror error, it's NOT a problem with the new packages.

I have had alot of success using an RPM created from a modified version of the rpm.livna.org 5336 src.rpm. I installed the src.rpm, then edited to specfile to remove the improper dependency on XFree86, then rebuilt the src.rpm from that modified specfile. This builds and installs fine now. The main reason this could help you, is that the method of packaging the nVIDIA driver that livna has used relocates the libraries to avoid conflicting with the Mesa libs--and therefore reduce the issues with symlinks being set properly. For ease this is similar to what I've done: rpm -i nvidia-driver-1.0.5336-0.lvn.3.1.src.rpm cd ~/rpmbuild vi SPECS/nvidia.spec (remove dependency on XFree86.. assuming you have xorg installed) rpmbuild -bs SPECS/nvidia.spec rpmbuild --rebuild SRPMS/nvidia-driver-1.0.5336-0.lvn.3.1.src.rpm If you prefer not to follow this method you might simply remove the conflicting Mesa package and see if the symlinks remain intact. xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL -- "The only thing neccessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

The "vdso=0" has me running 303 on an Athlon now. Glad to see a Red Hat guy is puzzled also. Google is NOT my friend on this - best I can find is that a vDSO is a virtual DSO, has something to do with CPU features, and that the kernel hackers have been talking about randomizing it, and trade-offs of efficiency with security vulnerabilities quite a lot as of late.

I've installed that (and also have python2.2 on my system). The problem is that the applets in question require python2.2 and do not work with the latest python libs since the API version is different or because some other add-on package has got uninstalled when I got the latest rh rpms. Can you please tell me where can I get the RPM upgrades for these utilities so that they function with python 2.3? Or are these binaries given in some package for the Fedora distribution? As of now, I've re-compiled some of these packages from source so that they use python2.3, but there are too many of these (!)

IIRC (and it is a rather dim recollection) I think these links are made when you run ldconfig, according to what the library says about itself. objdump -x /usr/lib/libieee1284.so.3.2.0 ...

There were some problems: 1) Did not recognize my GeForce 5900XT. I got crappy text-based installation. This had a second effect. Text-based install doesn't allow me to setup LVM! You can make select physical lvm partitions, but you cannot select to set them up as a LVM. This is not true of the graphical installer. Workaround- put GeForce 5700 in the machine and did the install. Then swap GeForce 5900xt. Just works. 2) Did not setup dos boot in grub, even though I had an NTFS partition. Had to fix grub.conf manually. 3) Pretty much unusable gui until I turned off unneeded services, FreeWnn, llim, canna. I'm guessing it was probably llim that did it, but I'm not going back to try again. 4) Only boots sometimes. Other times I get DMA timeout on ide1. I'm using SATA on promise controllers. 5) Where can I find amd64 yum???? Probably a new kernel would fix #4.

To do this find rpm's pid, and then run: gdb -p $pid bt # This is in gdb Send that output to the list. There are two case of lockups that I know of.

It's that simple. I have turned NTFS support on in my custom kernels, and I have write support on as well, but I haven't tried writing yet, since it's still experimental.

Something like redhat-configure-selinux? I hope so, but I'd like to see some better documentation on SELinux at the same time. This document should also talk about how to diagnose problems as being SELinux caused or not. setenforce 1 doesn't seem to cover all bases. For instance, I try to run user management from the gnome panel, and it doesn't run. setenforce makes no difference, but I still have my suspiciouns this is caused by SELinux. Perhaps a text-based tool that just asks you a set of questions would be the best right now because it could be produced quickly.

This turns off enforceing but the deny messages will still go into /var/log/messages.

I'd like to mention something I didn't notice before. When installing kernel-2.6.4-1.305 through up2date (come to think of it, I did notice this with kernel-2.6.4-1.303 but just thought it was a bug with the progress bar), the progress bar didn't completely go across on the kernel package but it acted like it was finished. That might be significant, since perhaps the progress bar is working right, and up2date just isn't fully installing the rpm. Perhaps its skipping the final steps? [root at localhost boberb]# rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 kernel-doc-2.6.4-1.305 kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.126 kernel-source-2.6.4-1.305 kernel-2.6.4-1.303 So I'll use yum, but last time this happened, it fried my operating system and I had to reinstall. I'm kinda hoping it will again, in a sense, so I know its reproducible. Anyway, I'll reply to this saying what happened. Also, notice that up2date totally overwrote the previous versions of the kernels with the new ones. It seems like up2date is using rpm -Uvh, not rpm -ivh. This is a bad idea from what I've heard. I'd also like to report that for some reason, I didn't need the vdso=0 option for kernel-2.6.4-1.303 I hope this information helps.

They say not to run test2 on a production system, but you might want to still use it as your main system and therefore you'll probably be saving files. Beyond backup, I recommend partitioning your /var and /home into seperate partitions, along with having a seperate disk in the same computer with an older, more stable distribution on it as like a rescue distro supporting ext3 (Redhat 9 would be fine). Then you can mount the /var and /home individually and rescue the data. I suggest this because there might come a time where you can't boot in because of kernel panics. Also, don't use up2date to update your kernel, use yum instead. I wonder if, using this multi-partition scheme, you could just nix the "/" partition and leave the other ones intact if reinstalling fedora core2 test2. Has anyone tried this or does anyone know whether it would work?

I put all of the rest into a single partition. I have a very small (minimal) linux / partition with a "boot director" and emergency recovery system. I then have a number of additional (separate) / partitions which are used for installed systems (I never wipe out my "working" system just to install a new one). On my amd64 test system I have five separate "/" partitions -- 32 bit FC1, 64 bit FC1, 32 bit FC2T1, 32 bit FC2T2, and 64 bit FC2T2. This is a test system and, disk space being relatively inexpensive these days, you can put a lot of "/" partitions on a 120GB drive. Each "/" partition is 10GB which handles an everything install and leaves enough work for the system to function. -- Gene From netdemonz at yahoo.com Sat Apr 3 19:20:36 2004 From: netdemonz at yahoo.com (Brian Bober) Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2004 11:20:36 -0800 (PST) Subject: up2date issue with kernel-2.6.4-1.305 In-Reply-To: <20040403185300.7316174EC8@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <20040403192036.49455.qmail@web60706.mail.yahoo.com> > I had to reinstall.

It seems that the issue with .303 was simply up2date overwriting aspects of the 2.6.3 kernel, yet not fully installing 2.6.4. When I followed it up with yum install kernel this time, all was OK. >From my experience, I suggest not using up2date with the kernel -- at least until the issues it seems to have are fixed. Use "yum install kernel" instead. In fact, I can't even get up2date working with the other packages, but maybe you can. Regardless, even if you can get it to work with the other stuff, I wouldn't play with up2date for installing the kernel unless you are feeling brave. If you do, check with rpm -qa and if you don't see the new kernel there, then do it again with yum or else you'll be sorry when you reboot.

If you have a second computer, you could either set up serial console and grab eventual kernel messages on the second computer or configure the first one to use netdump to save possible oopses to the second machine over the network.

Right now the up2date situation is still in the process of being fixed (so I have been told) but it will likely be at least a couple more days before everything is fixed. So for now I would recommend running up2date with "setenforce 0" so that policy stuff does not get in the way. After updating, you can run "setenforce 1" to turn it back on. -- Gene From mickeyboa at sbcglobal.net Sat Apr 3 21:06:13 2004 From: mickeyboa at sbcglobal.net (jim tate) Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2004 15:06:13 -0600 Subject: Gnome and Kde won't run SU apps as user(non-root) Message-ID: <406F2745.8040601@sbcglobal.net> Can't get the SU apps to run on either desktop, the SU login window pops up and you can type in SU password, but apps won't run.

You do what I do (right now) -- you grab the src.rpm files and build them your self. But, be warned, lots of stuff does not build "clean" and, even if it does, there is no guarentee that they will work. I spent weeks getting nessus to work and it involved getting some upstream changes. For now, the only packages which have a good chance of working are those in Fedora Core. Even there you run into problems where somthing works on i386 and does not work on x86_64. I just had a problem where one of the setools (seuser) worked on i386 but did not work on x86_64. I turned in a bugzilla report and Dan Walsh has a fix in the works already. I am sure once Red Hat gets the infrastructure together the way they want it that packages will get automagically get built for multiple architecture but that is not happening yet. It was only with FC2-Test2 that the x86_64 packages were being built as part of the overall process. I suspect that the infrastructure stuff and Fedora Extras has gotten sidetracked a bit by the efforts that Fedora Core 2 development is taking (especially getting selinux to work correctly). Getting selinux integrated into Fedora Core 2 so that the default install is enabled and enforcing is a very agressive goal and my hats off the the folks who are doing it. -- Gene From ndbecker2 at verizon.net Sat Apr 3 22:54:53 2004 From: ndbecker2 at verizon.net (Neal Becker) Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2004 17:54:53 -0500 Subject: sound driver not automatically loaded, why not?

Yes, I do want extras too, but I also want redhat's updates. My understanding is that download.fedora.us/...RPMS.updates was the official fedora updates. I think this is supposed to be relatively safe to use, while rawhide is less stable. I've been using the RPMS.updates pretty much since fedora started. But I can't find the equivalent for amd64.

Multi platforms (especially i386 and x86_64) will be supported by the Fedora Extras infrastructure when it exists/is made available but, right now, fedora.us is i386 only. Having been playing with this since Justin made the first x86_64 stuff available for FC1 has proven interesting. Except for the most simple packages, trying to install 32 bit version is a real trial because of dependencies. And then there are 64 bit packages ... which you need to roll yourself ... which sometimes work and sometimes do not. I suggest you check the archived of this mailing list, the fedora-devel-list at redhat.com and amd64-list at redhat.com. I have put some interesting messages out about getting stuff working on FCn x86_64 that might prove helpful to you. -- Gene From jerone2 at yahoo.com Sat Apr 3 23:52:13 2004 From: jerone2 at yahoo.com (Jerone Young) Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2004 15:52:13 -0800 (PST) Subject: sound driver not automatically loaded, why not?

Sound, VGA chipset, and even ethernet controller went undetected by test2. On the driver disk, there were some Linux drivers for ALSA (which you can get off the net anyway) and one for the ethernet controller (e2000) but it looks proprietary (oh dear), and according to reports the driver is a bit kludgy. So far, no distribution has incorporated this board's features.

To get rid of the problem, I just run gnome-font-properties once with xorg and the problem is gone.

I am hunting this bug down with Jeff Johnson (though, he has figured out much more than me) and I want to see the back trace. If its the traditional rpmdb locks no bug report is required nor wanted, cause it will probably be a nofix. If it is this new lockup with scriptlets, then I very much care, and there is already a bugzilla report that may need to be re-opened. So, if you don't want to see this sort of stuff on the testers list fine, but it would be very much acceptable to send it to rpm-list at redhat.com. The bug I am looking at is bugzilla #117620. What I wanted to know in particular (and I can tell from the backtrace, is is this the same bug, rather than have him right a new bug that would have to be duped. > However, as described below, you may be able to easily fix you problem. > If it is the bug I am on the trail of then the answer is not as simple as that. Basically, if you kill rpm with a -9 and then remove the __db* files (only because you just had to kill rpm with a -9), then the next rpm transaction is not likely to lockup. The problem has not gone away, though, its just that its a tricky little race condition as near as I can tell such that the problem is still there waiting to rear its head when you really don't want it to.

Yes, the rpm database for your system is still located in /var/lib/rpm, and yes if you have a stale lock on the rpm database and delete the __db* files (which are not themselves lock files...ask Jeff Johnson to explain if you really want to know) the stale locks will go away (really held futex's). Additionally, there is the new dynamic with the transaction lock file, that Paul mentioned. > And considering they are in a different place, its questionable whether the > same things holds true.

That said, if its a db lock, though, won't fix the problem, because its either buggy code using librpm, or something using librpm got killed with SIGKILL. If its the other lockup I am seeing with scriptlets, updating won't likely help either. If its something to do with transaction lock...well, I don't know you would have to ask Paul Nasrat (hope I didn't mispell your last name) or Jeff Johnson who are working on that.

OTOH, updated, yum, aptget, and the rpm cli itself are all slaves to librpm so if anything goes wrong there you can be sure you will see them in those programs. Cheers...james P.S. Since you have experience a hang, that have been the one I am looking at, if you had the time, there is a test harness you can run against rpm at rpm-devel.colug.net. It runs against a copy of your system database with anoxious test packages, so its pretty safe to run on your system. If you would like to give this a whirl, you can email me directly for any help on setting up the test harness and interpretting a hang if you see one.

Does anybody else is seeing something like that? And what gives? Bugzilla time? I also happen to have RH9 installation on the same machine with XFree86-4.3.0-2.90.55.

Under IDE devices it has a few things LBA mode: supported Block mode: 16 sectors LBA/Large: [AUTO] DMA: [AUTO] etc. But when I use F8 to get a somewhat verbose output i see it says LBA is disabled for hda but hdb (linux) has it enabled. I'm just plain confused. I'll install FC 1 tonight and pray it catches the right values.

So even if BIOS reports some numbers they are just some its inventions. If you are booting something which already wrote some partition table then "geometry" numbers should be whatever is recorded in that table. 'fdisk' does that right; 'parted', which is apparently used by the current 'anaconda', screws up. Corollary: switch to a text console, use 'fdisk' to create Linux partitions and ignore warnings on the subject from anaconda. I thought that there was already some bugzilla entry about that but I do not have a number handy.

Doing the trick I mentioned but was shown better by the other guy will make it so you don't need to reboot.

I haven't given it a run yet on Fedora. A little trick I have is to run up2date, note the names of the packages, then grab them through yum. You can use wildcards, for instance gnome* There probably is a better way. I don't know it. I haven't been able to retrieve either apt-get or synaptic through yum. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Sharing /home for SE Linux and non-SE Linux machines is slightly more tricky (IE if you create files when not running SE Linux then they will not have labels next time you use SE Linux - using the context= mount option to label them as nfs_t might be an easy hack to solve this). Sharing /home for multiple SE Linux installations should work well as long as they have the same policy. If one installation of SE Linux has a user entry for account netdemonz then any files you create will have the context netdemonz:object_r:user_home_t (or something similar). If you then boot a copy of SE Linux without a user entry for netdemonz then those files will be unlabeled (and not accessible to non admin users). As for /var, there are files in /var/lib and /var/cache which may have different formats if you have different versions of the applications that use them. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From aoliva at redhat.com Sun Apr 4 06:45:41 2004 From: aoliva at redhat.com (Alexandre Oliva) Date: 04 Apr 2004 03:45:41 -0300 Subject: Howto turn off selinux?

Although I never think dual-booting is a good idea, at least it looks like you were smart enough to do one OS per disk. Next time you might wanna use VMWare instead of dual-booting like that. You can use VMWare on the second disk from within Windows, and it'll stop Linux from messing with the first one. You are probably best off, though, buying an old used system off Ebay to install Fedora on (and it'll probably cost about the same as VMWare). Dual booting is just a bad idea. I used to dual boot Win95 and Slackware when I was a teenager. Two systems is just so much better. It also means you can never really run a web-server if you dual boot. You might wanna check out VMWare if you want only one system. Its very nice. Three options: 1) I have a tool I wrote that might be of assistance to you that allows you to fix your MBR so its the Windows XP MBR again, but since I installed Fedora on a new 250GB hard disk, I'll have to go fetch them off the old disk. If you want it, I can grab it for you off the old disk. If you don't have a windows system handy, hopefully it works in Wine or I could try porting it to Linux for you. That might take some time and a reinstallation of VMWare. Use my tools at your own risk. If you want them, then email me. 2) You can use wine possibly to run the .exe files for the boot disks, and hopefully it'll work as long as its only to extract data and not write the disk. 3) Your other option is to buy a cheapo used 10GB disk or something, install Windows XP on it, and then snatch the stuff from the partition on the other disk (hopefully), then reinstall the OS on the original disk. Here's the rub, though... Only method 1, you will be able to boot back into Windows as if nothing ever happened, and that's ONLY if only the XP MBR has been replaced by Linux's, but everything else is OK. Hopefully your partition table is intact, or you'll have to know where the NTFS partition is. I will eventually possibly add the ability to search for the NTFS partition on the disk, but I haven't yet. It looks like your partition table is still intact. The other two methods will mean you'll have to install Windows over its current installation, get your data backed up, then reinstall it with a fresh reformat. > I tried booting from windows CD and it just hangs after "detecting hardware" Are you sure that you don't have some hardware issue that'd affect any OS on the system? > > I'm new to the list and can't reply to the thread, sorry if this > top-posts.

This won't mean that if you are trying to recover a disk that won't boot, or something, that you might not have access to your stuff if you can't somehow remember the context you used or whatever? Is it safe to assume if you can mount the partitions of a disk then you can undo the SELinux stuff to recover what's on it from a system you have admin access on regardless of the context on the disk you are trying to access? Btw, thanks (and to anyone else who did) for CCing me on reply since I get digests.

You're right something is up with my hardware, its a brand new system i put together by pieces. And had to do a number of workarounds to install windows the first time. You can see why i'm not looking forward to playing darts in my BIOS again. I knew this would happen I just needed to make sure there was nothing else to try. I appreciate the help.

Dual booting is not "just a bad idea" I wrote a small article that discusses how to do it safely, without needing to buy VMWare. It does require two disks though. http://mpeters.us/linux/dualboot_grub.php I had the problem of unbootable WinXP in Test 1. The solution I came up with guarantees that installing one OS will not foobar the other, simply because the other is not visible to be foobar'd with. I need to dualboot because there are a few specific apps that run on Windows XP that I need to use (Linux is my primary desktop). Stamps.com and TurboLister and Mavis Beacon Typing Tutor and Photoshop. The gimp is actually quite good enough for most things, but there are some commercial photoshop filters available that don't (yet) have gimp equivalents. Since I'm not running a server, dual booting one box makes more sense that using two boxes and a KVM. Especially since it gets hot where I live and I don't have air conditioning. Anyway - point is, it's not a "bad idea" - it just needs proper implementation. > I used to dual boot Win95 and Slackware when I was a teenager. Two > systems is just so much better.

Running a web server on your desktop is a bad idea - unless it's just for testing purposes. I'll agree that dual booting a server is a bad idea - since servers generally should be kept up as long as possible and only be brought all the way down if there is a need to upgrade the kernel or update hardware or when cleaning up after a compromise. But for that same reason running a server on a desktop is a bad idea. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/ From cschlaefcke at wms-network.de Sun Apr 4 08:57:35 2004 From: cschlaefcke at wms-network.de (Christian Schlaefcke) Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2004 10:57:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: yum and up2date broken after rpm update In-Reply-To: <1080937523.31433.2.camel@gandalf.wms-network.de> References: <1080937523.31433.2.camel@gandalf.wms-network.de> Message-ID: <34630.192.168.0.1.1081069055.squirrel@gandalf> Hi Folks, > when I run yum or up2date from console I get: > yum: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? > import yummain > File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 22, in ? > import clientStuff > File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 18, in ? > import rpm > ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rpmmodule.so: undefined > symbol: rpmdsBT > > up2date: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 12, in ? > import rpm > ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rpmmodule.so: undefined > symbol: rpmdsBT > > What?s the problem?

One thing to note about recovery is that there may be files with bad labels. For example if a machine has a file in a user home dir with type chkpwd_exec_t or the type of some other file that will trigger a transition to a domain that has access to /etc/shadow then it's a problem. Like having a SETUID root binary. Of course if you mount it in single-user mode it won't necessarily be an issue, and you can use the context= mount option. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From cschlaefcke at wms-network.de Sun Apr 4 10:05:04 2004 From: cschlaefcke at wms-network.de (Christian Schlaefcke) Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2004 12:05:04 +0200 (CEST) Subject: SOLVED - yum and up2date broken after rpm update In-Reply-To: <1081069977.3543.3.camel@shmuelhome.mine.nu> References: <1080937523.31433.2.camel@gandalf.wms-network.de><34630.192.168.0.1.1081069055.squirrel@gandalf> <1081069977.3543.3.camel@shmuelhome.mine.nu> Message-ID: <34765.192.168.0.1.1081073104.squirrel@gandalf> > On Sun, 2004-04-04 at 10:57, Christian Schlaefcke wrote: >> Hi Folks, >> >> > when I run yum or up2date from console I get: >> > yum: >> > Traceback (most recent call last): >> > File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? >> > import yummain >> > File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 22, in ? >> > import clientStuff >> > File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 18, in ? >> > import rpm >> > ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rpmmodule.so: undefined >> > symbol: rpmdsBT >> > >> > up2date: >> > Traceback (most recent call last): >> > File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 12, in ? >> > import rpm >> > ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rpmmodule.so: undefined >> > symbol: rpmdsBT >> > >> > What??s the problem?

I've tried adding context=system_u:object_r:nfs_t to the mounts containing the maze of soft links that my home dir is, but no luck. First off, booting in enforcing mode, it wouldn't mount it, probably because they're all in logical volumes (I think I heard that SELinux is not compatible with LVM ATM :-( Oddly, if I'm in enforcing mode and attempt to mount them as root_u:sysadm_r:sysadm_t, they fail to mount with the context= setting in /etc/fstab, but mount succeeds without it. Is this a bug? If so, same as above, or a different one? (it says the device is read only) I tried labeling everything in these filesystems as system_u:object_r:nfs_t, but I still couldn't ssh into the box in enforcing mode. SSH key authentication failed to stat() the authorized_keys file, so id demanded a password. Then, it failed to chdir to my homedir, and finally xauth took a few seconds trying to lock ~/.Xauthority before it timed out and gave up, and I was given a prompt with $PWD=/. I could then cd to my home dir and use it normally AFAICT, but this is quite inconvenient.

You could fix this behaviour by changing /etc/filesystems to have ext2/ext3 before any FAT one. Or empty the first sectors of the partition, that still have a FAT superblock. I don't know the exact empty space that a ext2 filesystem leaves at the beginning, so I would create a backup, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=4M, recreate the filesystem and restore the backup.

Does some advantage accrue > to a fs layout that permits this "error"? Advantage? No, I don't think so. Had you created any files on the FAT partition, you'd probably corrupt the ext3 one. The problem is that the mount command had no way to know that, although the partition was successfully mounted as vfat, it shouldn't be. What seems to be an error, in my old RedHat 7.3 (I haven't tried yet on my Fedora box), is that the order of filesystem types in /etc/filesystems has no effect on whether a test image mounts as vfat or ext2 (always vfat).

FDISK recognizes the partition as a linux partition, parted says that it is an ext3 partition, and, IIRC, partition magic also recognizes it as an ext3 partition. So there seems to be enough information running around to properly identify the partition. But at least now I understand why Windows thought that it could mount the partition but always got the capacity wrong. The next time I get around to booting Windows, I will check out what partition magic thinks. If it does recognize the partition as ext3, I will enter this information into bugzilla.

I've tried changing most of the setting already (including running it in the slow mode designed for self-modifying code). It makes no difference. As I said, the install CD boots fine, and includes the same version of the kernel, so I assume that the problem results from some extra settings or modules loaded with the installed kernel (perhaps something not P2 compatible?) Can anyone suggest what this might be?

I did have to remove xine to install xorg-x11 on this system. The trouble looks to this novice to be related to the change in xfree86 and replacing the X server with xorg-x11. It would be great to have a version of xine compatible with xorg-x11. Is there a version out there for xorg-x11 compatibility? Not much help, but the problem hit me in a different way.

Problem is attempt to link 32-bit /usr/X11R6/lib stuff against 64-bit stuff in /usr/lib64. Problem seems to be caused by autoconf, which seems to not know that it should use /usr/X11R6/lib64 on this platform. Too bad I know nothing about autoconf. Anyone?

That seems to mean that your compiler is finding 32-bit libraries when you attempt to build a 64-bit application or vice-versa. I am not sure what really should be in /usr/X11R6/lib/ on your system and if /usr/X11R6/lib64/ exists and should be visited first. If yes then maybe a compiler specs file is somewhat incorrect? After adding '-v' to your compilation flags you may watch what is looking for what and where. I do not have now an x86_64 system handy to check but it seems to me that there was something like '-m32' flag if you wanted to compile 32-bit applications. You can also control what a linker is doing by passing to it options with a help of "-Wl,....". Oh, and doing various updates via rpm when 64-bit and 32-bit versions are involved is order-sensitive.

My system locks up to where I have to telnet in and "killall -9 X" to do anything. It then resets back to the fedora login screen. If I try to ctrl-atl-Fx to a console the whole OS locks up and crashes. This occurs after usually a long time of running kde or gnome.

Considering a) this is a test release and b) this release's specific purpose is to test SELinux, that doesn't make sense.

I have two HDs: Primary master on first IDE: Maxtor 120GB Primary slave on first IDE: Quantum 30GB The system will only offer the 30GB drive for partitioning. That's fine because I want to install there, but I need a boot loader on the 120GB drive so I can dual-boot WinXP and FC2. When FC2 installs GRUB, it only can put it on 'hdb' which is the 30GB. 'hda' is not an option. I have set LBA to 'ON' for both drives, no change. I have tried "linux hda=noprobe hda=5883,16,255,0" to give the kernel the geometry, no change. I also tried installing GRUB on hdb, then extracting the boot block with 'dd' into a file and referencing the file in WinXPs boot loader. If I boot that entry, the screen reads "GRUB" and the system hangs (does not continue boot process). FWIW, this is a NFORCE3-150 board. Is there a known issue with the NVIDIA controller? Any other ideas?

RELEASE-NOTES-en doesn't seem to address the number of CDs. README-en still (incorrectly) describes 3 binary and 3 source CDs.

E.g. the 0.6.x rhythmbox version in Fedora Core 2 Test 2 does not even recognize mp3 files unless it is rebuilt with id3 support. The 0.7.x version no longer needs a rebuild, but fails with funny errors. Query http://bugzilla.redhat.com Updating the available gstreamer-plugins-mp3 packages is fairly easy. So, once all of this starts working again, an mp3 plugin can be tested, too.

This SELinux stuff is really complicated and although I might have time to really dig through all the very difficult technical information about it, its going to intimidate many new and seasoned Linux users. It'd be nice if fedora/Redhat wrote some really good documentation about it made for people that really don't understand the inner workings of the operating system that well. Something that starts out simple and dumbed down, and then goes into more detail as you work your way through the documentation... Designed so that you can stop reading at some point if you are just a casual user of Linux and not an IT administrator or developer. It'd also probably be good if fedora/Redhat got a configuration tool for SELinux out, perhaps as soon as possible so it can be tested. I'm thinking that they might want to disable SELinux by default on the non-test release until core 3 if this isn't done. --- Russell Coker wrote: > > > > This won't mean that if you are trying to recover a disk that won't boot, > > or something, that you might not have access to your stuff if you can't > > If you are recovering a damaged installation then you will do so as > sysadm_r:sysadm_t, and therefore you can access all files. > > One thing to note about recovery is that there may be files with bad labels. > > For example if a machine has a file in a user home dir with type > chkpwd_exec_t or the type of some other file that will trigger a transition > to a domain that has access to /etc/shadow then it's a problem.

Upon booting, init would fail to load the policy, this would be immediately followed by a kernel panic. Could I have renamed one of the policy files to recover? I have since re-installed FC2T2 (just for the practice). By the way, in the above situation, appending "selinux=0" to the kernel parameters in the grub boot screen wouldn't allow me to recover. It still attempted to load the policy; a kernel panic would again result. Does this parameter actually do anything? Fred New -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Anyone have any ideas? Has been a lot of discussion of CD boot issues recently on the list. Best recommendation seems to be to burn a boot CD using images/boot.iso from CD 1.

Also, NFS behaves a little different.

At the point you are looking at the blue screen with funny characters invoke one of the TTY login sessions at the console. Example these three keys at once. Ctl+Alt+F2 You should see a login prompt. Login as root and type "telinit 3". Next review the configuration of your gfx card and get it in order. Since 257 is a bout four updates back you may wish to do a text bases update with yum or up2date then fix the x server.

A set of utilities is definitely needed for editing SELinux policies. I find SELinux intimidating even after working with SELinux on Gentoo. At the same time, I like SELinux better than GRSEC and find it to be more configurable and I'm sure I haven't begun to scratch the surface of it's abilities. There is a beta webmin module out there called SEMPE which is produced by Hitachi for editing SELinux policies but doesn't work on the 2.6 kernel based SELinux. It's written for the old LSM based SELinux implementation. Their also working on a webmin module for the current SELinux policies but it may be a while before that is complete. Proper documentation on fedora-selinux would be wonderful and I'm sure it will come about gradually. In the mean time, just in case you didn't know, there's a FAQ Page that I was pointed to by Karsten Wade at: http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux-faq-en/ -- Ric Letson, NB2E digitalcontrol at myrealbox.com ============================ GPG Signed for Authenticity -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If it does recognize the partition as ext3, I > will enter this information into bugzilla. But the partition type does not enforce a partition filesystem. You can put any filesystem in any partition, regardless of its type. The rationale for partition types is the same for file extensions. It's easier to consult a table with (id, type) relations than to parse the filesystem superblock. Then we end with 6 different types for FAT partitions, and several different interpretations for .doc files... But back on topic, the reasons for not using the partition type by mount to find the filesystem type, is that the partition type isn't available for userland programs (at least, I don't know any besides reading the MBR), and some times it isn't a partition (floppies, cdroms, loop devices). And some times, the partition type isn't the correct one. After all, Windows did mount the partition, didn't it? So, personally, I don't think it's a bug. The irrelevance of filesystem types in /etc/filesystems is, if it's still in the Fedora Core test releases.

I recovered from this by booting the rescue image off the first iso disk, and editing /etc/sysconfig/selinux to : SELINUX=0 I'm wondering the same thing about the kernel option myself. Once you've booted, you need to remove and reinstall the policy package. You should have an /etc/security/selinux/policy.16 file. Your rpm update failed for some reason. - J.

This has got to be something to do with your terminal settings, because normally arrows in edit mode would navigate the text. Try running "vim" explicitly instead of "vi" though I doubt it would make a difference.

Can you give examples of things that we should post the list instead of filing a bug (and vice-versa) if you can think of any? Should we generally ask the list about something that seems to be a bug, and if no suitable answer is found in responses or the archives, and no bug is found, then file a bug? Or do developers often see things on the list and file bugs on their own components?

Your suggestion solved most of my concerns :) There is a enhancement for the rpm binary packagers though. up2date does not pick up all dependencies for these applets and I had to get them manually for some of these packages. Specifically: * system-config-users requires libuser. * system-config-httpd requires 4Suite. It would be cool if these could be fetched when someone fetched the appropriate system-config-* packages.

Checking /dev/hda geometry under FC1 (just BEFORE FC2T2 install) gave: # fdisk /dev/hda" 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cyl. Checking /dev/hda geometry DURING the FC2T2 install (Ctrl+Alt+F2) gave the same. Even checking in last screen (the "Congratulation screen") gave the same result. But AFTER rebooting in FC2T2: # fdisk /dev/hda" 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155061 cyl. and # fdisk -H 255 /dev/hda 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cyl. and now printing the partition table with "p" gives the following warnings "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary" and the same message for partitions 2, 3 and 4".

Hi Michael - Thanks for this good advice - I did try the nv driver again yesterday, to my surprise and pleasure it works now. Previously it filled the screen with green vertical lines and froze the machine. I have updated the BIOS in the laptop since I last tried and now it is on xorg packages, so I don't know what fixed it. There are two issues with it I found (didn't try the 3D as I have no use for it at the moment). - fullscreen xv in mplayer has something like hsync noise on it, it jitters around. If I have the same video in a window and resize it to fullscreen by hand, the problem doesn't appear - No dual head. Found this link http://www.mail-archive.com/xfree86 at xfree86.org/msg07631.html suggesting: > '' The "nv" driver does not support dual head. You have to > use NVIDIA's binary Linux drivers if you want to use both > heads.'' I'm going to stick with nv for now not least because the binary drivers are broken by the latest Fedora kernels. However, I waited until thismorning to mention this in order to see if the abnormal memory usage was changed by this and it isn't, it is still there. It only seems to occur overnight, suggesting perhaps cron has something to do with it. Only a root shell and kmail are up in KDE now, ksysguard is reporting 795MB used, about 500MB of that is "application memory", the rest is mostly cache which of course is fine. But no way should 500MB be allocated to user apps when nothing is running.

One thing though: the anaconda installed can install from various sources, local cd or dvd, hard disk image, nfs, ftp. But after install you have system-config-packages, which seems to know only about cds. So if you did an install over nfs or any of the other methods, you cannot add packages from the same source. I guess it should be possible to tell system-config-packages to use up2date or yum to install packages in stead of a cdrom. Another thing I was thinking about: I have now 2 copies of the contents of the FC2test2 rpms on disk. One as a copy of the cdroms, to be used for nfs installs, and one as a local yum repository I set up for upgrades. I cannot find out an easy way to merge those, since they have a different directory structure. No big problem, hard disk space is cheap and available.

The main reason this is turned on by default is to increase the amount of testing it receives before going mainstream in to a non test environment where users can expect to not have to deal with this, as apposed to a testing environment where a tester should reasonable assume they may have some heart ache.

This time I renamed policy. -> policy.16 file_contexts -> file_contexts.rpmold file_contexts.rpmnew -> file_contexts and the following reboot was successful. I might have had to do a fixfiles relabel, too. And this morning I have read that I might have been able to get around the policy load failure (and kernel panic) by specifying init=/bin/bash in the kernel boot parms. I haven't tried it, but this could have permitted me to recover enough to rename the policy. file.

There is a way to put grub onto a floppy and then boot the floppy. Check the grub info file.

The above will (should?) work as a boot medium for a CD/DVD or CD/DVD-image install; however, be aware that the boot.iso from the development tree: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/images/ will be necessary to do a network install of the current development snapshot, but will work only if you happen to catch everything in sync. Otherwise you will get a message, IIRC, about the boot image not matching the installation. Same problem may occur when using the vmlinuz/initrd.img/grub-boot approach outlined earlier in this thread. If this happens just try again.

So, X is probably not involved At the point you are looking at the blue screen with funny characters invoke one of the TTY login sessions at the console. Example these three keys at once. Ctl+Alt+F2 You should see a login prompt. Login as root and type "telinit 3". Next review the configuration of your gfx card and get it in order. Since 257 is a bout four updates back you may wish to do a text bases update with yum or up2date then fix the x server. If I recall 257 was about the same time that the X server switched so you may need to check the archives on how to switch from the XFree86 to the Xorg version.

Nautilus segfaults on startup. It wasn't always so : ) worked fine until I actually got kudzu working (which involved a kernel upgrade). Then after about the 3rd reboot under the new kernel (with Kudzu running) Nautilus began segfaulting. 2. Also.. on the 3rd reboot with kudzu running.. (on the 2nd it had picked up my usb controllers) it starts degrading performance, I have no idea what is going on, but kudzu will hang for between 5-10 minutes during boot, then boot up will continue, but everything acts like I'm accessing it across a modem, screen refreshes are very slow (console and x windows) , hitting enter takes 5-10 seconds to think about it.. actual typing seems normal though. And I'm not seeing any errors in /var/log/messages or dmesg. I tried removing kudzu from the boot up, and everything is fine except that Nautilus will still segfault and my mouse won't work (because the usb drivers modules don't load).. if I load the usb modules, my mouse starts working, but performance goes to hell again. Tonight I'll try disconnecting most of what I have on usb and see if I can determine if it's a particular device causing the slowdown issue, but I could really use help determining what the Nautilus problem is. I feel like it must be hardware (module?) related since it was working fine until kudzu ran a couple of times, but I'm not sure how to get useful information out of it. Oh, last bit of info, I'm running FC2T2 x86_64. Prior to the clean install I did Saturday, I was running recent development.. I had the Nautilus segfault problem then, it went away after the clean install, and then didn't come back until I had kudzu running.

The grub info method creates a floppy that gives you a basic "grub>" prompt, but a menu interface is a lot friendlier. The attached script will create a DOS/FAT-format grub boot floppy with a menu interface. Won't help much if you can't boot in the first place, but can be run on another working system and the grub/grub.conf file edited to (hopefully) boot the one with the problem. Useful for booting when the MBR is clobbered (by either bleeding edge Linux or Bill Gates) or for altering the default boot device/OS/kernel by popping in a floppy.

Message-ID: <200404051706.57362.hans.engelen@pandora.be> So after tinkering for day installing a whole range of stuff miniset per miniset I managed to catch up to almost all my updates pending in up2date. My setup is as follows : Dell C600, which has an internal 3c59x network card and around the house is used with a lucent orinoco gold card (all of which worked fine up till now). When using the laptop at my desk it is inserted into a Dell docking station which adds an adaptec controler (nothing attached) another 3c59x and usually houses my floppy module in the module slot. It also adds 2 pci slots, some usb ports and the common parallel, serial, keyb/mouse and vga connectors all of which are unused. Up to now (including FC2T1) this usually led to kudzu asking for instructions with regards to the adaptec and second 3com adapter when changing from docked to undocked booting or vice-versa. Since the last batch of updates (and it was a lot, nearly 1200 if memory serves) the system works semi stable in docked mode (cyrus-imapd seems to be running amok and spawning an abnormal amount of child instances but thats probably unrelated). Pcmcia seemed to be acting up slightly initially but that most likely was due to some odd moprobe.conf setting that managed to load modules like hermes and orinoco (not orinoco_cs) before pcmcia was started. This oddly resulted in pcmcia not detecting any of the pcmcia sockets or sometimes just one (C600 has 2, yenta type). Starting the laptop in undocked mode however is a disaster. Kudzu hangs and does not seem to recover. Pcmcia refuses to find any sockets flat out no matter what and often hangs too. Checking the running processes reveals one or more modprobe command that seem to be hanging and dmesg spits out fun tidbits like this (they vary) : kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 228ba770 kernel: printing eip: kernel: 021cbb01 kernel: *pde = 0154f067 kernel: Oops: 0002 [#1] kernel: CPU: 0 kernel: EIP: 0060:[<021cbb01>] Not tainted kernel: EFLAGS: 00010206 (2.6.4-1.305) kernel: EIP is at kobject_add+0x7c/0xd0 kernel: eax: 02339d78 ebx: 02339d04 ecx: 228ba770 edx: 2288d630 kernel: esi: 02339d4c edi: 2288d614 ebp: 02339d80 esp: 1ed93f24 kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 kernel: Process modprobe (pid: 765, threadinfo=1ed93000 task=21665980) kernel: Stack: 2288d614 ffffffea 2288d5e4 00000000 021cbb6e 2288d614 02339d00 0222170f kernel: 2288d614 2288a3d5 2288d5f4 1ed93f78 2288d60c 00000006 02221a57 1d244b3c kernel: 00000000 0000000a 022f314d 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 2288d5c0 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<021cbb6e>] kobject_register+0x19/0x39 kernel: [<0222170f>] bus_add_driver+0x2e/0x81 kernel: [<02221a57>] driver_register+0x48/0x50 kernel: [<021d4188>] pci_register_driver+0x84/0x9f kernel: [<2283b046>] vortex_init+0xe/0x4d [3c59x] kernel: [<0213b708>] sys_init_module+0x1ef/0x2c6 kernel: Code: 89 11 89 4a 04 8b 47 28 8b 18 8d 4b 48 89 c8 ba ff ff 00 00 At this point I am a little at a loss as to what might be going wrong.

Over the weekend I upgraded to FC2 test1. Now, when I chroot into that directory, most commands cause a segfault and the chroot closes. For example, running ls dumps the directory, but then the segfault kills the chroot. Running the chroot under strace gives the following lines (I've trimmed everything up to the lines that printed ls output rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD TSTP TTIN TTOU], [HUP INT ILL TRAP ABRT BUS FPE USR1 SEGV USR2 PIPE ALRM TERM CHLD XCPU XFSZ VTALRM SYS], 8) = 0 ioctl(255, TIOCSPGRP, [27033]) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [HUP INT ILL TRAP ABRT BUS FPE USR1 SEGV USR2 PIPE ALRM TERM CHLD XCPU XFSZ VTALRM SYS], NULL, 8) = 0 setpgid(0, 27033) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGSEGV, {SIG_DFL}, {0x8085d00, [HUP INT ILL TRAP ABRT BUS FPE USR1 SEGV USR2 PIPE ALRM TERM XCPU XFSZ VTALRM SYS], 0}, 8) = 0 getpid() = 27034 kill(27034, SIGSEGV) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Do you guys any idea why the segfault is happening?

Most noticeably, nautilus, the gnome-panel (but not all the applets on the panel), and some misc gnome programs (gnome-keybinding-properties, gnome-keyring-daemon, gnome-theme-manager so far) will either never start or pause for minutes. For example, when I try to open a nautilus folder, the whole thing acts like it's frozen (icons on desktop disappear, etc) then, after about 5 min, the folder will open and nautilus has restarted. This happens every time. More randomly, the application menu and panel properties will freeze for minutes at a time. It turns out this only happens when the network is active. I did some experimenting and found the following: If I delete the default route (route del default eth0) all nautilus opens folders quick and nice. I add the default route back and nautilus freezes then after many minutes opens up the folder. The next action (close folder, say) and another freeze. As for other details, I had FC2 (clean install, but kept /home) and it freezes. I did a update via yum (fedora and livna repositories only) and still, the problem is there. It's there no matter which kernel I use (2.4 and 2.6 flavors). SELinux disabled or enabled. Running on a HP laptop and chose the install "everything" option. I've looked through this mailing list and bugzilla (gnome & RH), but found nothing like this. I'd like to know if this is known before I file a bug report.

I ran 'yum upgrade' on the morning of April 5, 2004. It updated the kernel, SELinux packages and more. After I attempted to boot, it says: Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded. Halted now. Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init! I wish I wrote down all the upgrades that occurred, but it was the updates available on the morning of April 5, 2004. I am running a Dell Dimension 2100. It has 196mb of ram, an Intel Celeron 800mhz. It uses the Intel 810 video card. I filed this bug under http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120048 But I feel like I didn't gather enough information for this bug report. What can I do to file a better report about this in the future, besides printing out the packages that were updated during a 'yum update'?

I managed to figure out what was wrong. Here it goes in case some other newbee bumps into the problem. The forcedeth module was working fine (eth0), what I was missing was the sk98lin module (eth1). So I changed the ifcfg-eth2, and renamed it to ifcfg- eth1, changed /etc/modprobe.conf to contain the line alias eth1 sk98lin and then /etc/init.d/network restart /Lennart > > On Sat, 2004-04-03 at 23:54, Lennart Jonsson wrote: > > Oops, should probably name the motherboard as well.

I downloaded the DVD ISO via the torrent, though it was slow, I got the ISO, burnt a DVD, booted up and upgraded FC1 with NO PROBLEM at all. I was even able to download the prism drivers for my Netgear WG511 802.11G PCMCIA card and in about 5 minutes, I was reconnected to my wireless LAN. Everything worked like a charm with two exceptions: 1) No USB devices were being recognized. I had to manually edit and load the USB driver in /etc/modprobe.conf.dist. After that, no problems. 2) I'm running FC2T2 on a Thinkpad T40 and I can't get sound to work for the life of me. I try to manually load the i810 sound driver ( I think it's snd-intel8x0 under FC2T2 ) but it can't be found. Can anyone confirm whether I'll have to rebuild the kernel to get the driver? Overall, very impressed, apps like OpenOffice and Quicken ( under CX Office ) seem to be less sluggish. If anyone has any ideas about sound, please let me know.

I have a lucent wavelan silver card (prism-1 ?) It used to work with rawhide kernels with orinoco_cs driver. Currently it doesn't work with kernel-2.6.4-1.305.

Installation is easy - get the cvs (as per instructions at madwifi website) and do : 'make; make install' However the latest cvs doesn't work with the 2.6 kernel for me (network activity stopps after a while). And unloading the driver gives 'segfault'.

The root fs is NOT on LVM, but all other partitions are on LVM. Boot breaks just after the fsck part. I reproduced this behavior on another machine. If I boot in rescue mode, partitions are mounted correctly.

Anyone else having stability problems? I've seen instability in the 1.4 series lately as well...

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20040405195522.163E7C16F@partners.anonymizer.com> Hi Satish, Thanks for the reply. I just tested a couple high powered (200mw) 802.11b PC Card's (in a Gateway 200ARC notebook) and here's what I found: SMC2532W-B - Every time FC2 test 2 boots, the hardware manager comes up and says that this card has been "removed." I've tried "Do Nothing" and also "Remove Configuration" on different boots and the card is never detected properly as far as I can tell. If I remove the card and plug it back in while the system is running, nothing happens. Senao 2511CD Plus EXT2 - Works fine, whether the card is plugged in before boot or plugged in while system is running. Orinoco driver is used. Strange thing is, I think both of these cards use the same chipset? They both work fine in other distros, so possibly something bad/buggy is going on with the SMC2532W-B in FC2 test 2. I'm not that great with Linux though, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this for a meaningful bug report.

There's a couple of potential crashers fixed in 1.1.54. And, of course, there's the firewire issues with the test2 kernel - if it's not either of those, please put it in bugzilla.

As for Core 2 final release, I don't think that there has been enough testing, along with enough documentation, and any configuration tools to have it enabled by default. Therefore, I think for the final non-test release, that SELinux should be disabled by default. Especially important is more documentation and a configuration tool, both of which don't exist. The FAQ doesn't seem adequate and a lot of the new issues raised aren't on it yet, along with enough information on diagnosing and solving a general SELinux issue. Furthermore, with the FAQ and the other documentation presented digested, I still don't really have that good of an idea of what SELinux truly is. It seems more geared towards kernel developers than end-users, IT people, or general cross-platform software developers. This will not be a good thing to throw at the non-testers. Part of the reason I'm testing is so I can see the internals better because I'll be forced to. The non-testers don't always have this kind of time or patience available to them.

Anyone else having stability problems? First make sure your whole system is up2date. Then check your logs for selinux messages to see if selinux is involved. Then please file a report at http://bugzilla.redhat.com describing your setup and attach a crash dump from bugbuddy. Query bugzilla to see if the problem has been reported before filing. Enable core dumps by putting "ulimit -c " in .bashrc (and log back in again). Install debuginfo rpms for the relevant rpms (evolution-debuginfo, glib2-, gtk2-, libgnomeui- & pango-, maybe even glibc- (glibc-debuginfo will bloat the report significantly)) to have all necessary debug info in the crash dump.

I plan to run selinux enforcing=1 on my systems regardless of the default. But I can understand that this may not be appropriate for many users ... just yet. However, I don't believe that it should be disabled. Instead, run selinux in permissive mode by default if it still is not ready for prime time (mostly dealing with policy not the code). But, I believe that it is a bit early to make the call as to what the default will be in FC2-final. Lets see how FC2-test3 looks. I would also be comforable with slipping the final just a bit more and have FC2-test4 if that would really improve the chances of the default being enforcing=1 in the final. -- Gene From aoliva at redhat.com Mon Apr 5 21:48:45 2004 From: aoliva at redhat.com (Alexandre Oliva) Date: 05 Apr 2004 18:48:45 -0300 Subject: Unable to mount LVM partitions after upgrade to FC2t2 In-Reply-To: <4071B49B.5050404@kelkoo.net> References: <4071B49B.5050404@kelkoo.net> Message-ID: On Apr 5, 2004, Xavier Bachelot wrote: > After upgrading from FC1 to FC2 Test 2, I'm now unable to mount any > LVM partition.

The file as distributed works properly. With the new mirror capability, the impact of download.fedora.redhat.com being overloaded is lessened (unless you get that server picked). Personally, I find a good mirror (one that is normally current and is not overloaded) and add that specification to sources -- just use the definition for download.fedora.redhat.com as your pattern. -- Gene From tmcgaha1 at comcast.net Mon Apr 5 21:53:34 2004 From: tmcgaha1 at comcast.net (Tim McGaha) Date: Mon, 05 Apr 2004 17:53:34 -0400 Subject: FC2 T2 and Ensoniq Sound Card In-Reply-To: <1081129067.4013.3.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <40708313.6040207@comcast.net> <1081129067.4013.3.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <4071D55E.1080209@comcast.net> Matias Feliciano wrote: >Le dim 04/04/2004 ? 23:50, Tim McGaha a ?crit : > > >>Hello, >> >>I am having some fun trying to keep my sound card working.

So did the fresh LVM partitions work for you? They have failed for me since FC2 test 1 (and also on test 2), the partitions were created but could not be used upon the first boot, I thought it was a bug in the 64 bit side.

I disabled it on my system at install since I don't personally want to fuss with it at this point in time - but it should not be disabled at install by default - I agree, I think permissive should be the default. But for the test releases, people shouldn't be running test releases on hardware they can't afford to have issues with - so the current default makes it easier to find problems with this wicked new technology. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/ From yonasb at netzero.com Mon Apr 5 22:39:45 2004 From: yonasb at netzero.com (yonas abraham) Date: Mon, 05 Apr 2004 18:39:45 -0400 Subject: Rename to policy.16 and now I got bigger problems In-Reply-To: <4071D70E.2000103@sbcglobal.net> References: <4071D70E.2000103@sbcglobal.net> Message-ID: <4071E031.9070405@netzero.com> probably you need to relabel the files after you change the policy. i.e rename policy to policy.16 relabel reboot. --yonas jim tate wrote: > Rename /etc/security/selinux/policy. to policy.16 and went into > /etc/sysconfig/selinux > and set SELINUX=enforcing and reboot computer and bootup hungup and > gave me > all kinds of error messages,see below. > and I changed back to SELINUX=permissive and still got error messages, > but I could > at least I could get to user login window I now have SELINUX=disable > but I couldn't login as mickey user, had to login as root desktop > only.

I believe with a major change such as this, pushing back a final release is better than releasing something to the masses that will not be well recieved. I also thought about an issue of issues if its turned on for testers, then they update to the final release packages, and its turned off in that, if that could cause compatibility issues.

For all the problems associated with SELinux that need to be addressed, I highly doubt making sure an update from a test release to fc2 goes smoothly is even on the map. I want to point out that update from a test release to a full release is always going to have a high potential for some rather interesting gotchas. If default settings have to be changed or a few packages downgraded in the full release to make sure people upgrading from fc1 have a good experience, there is no garuntee...none...that the change in settings can be easily handled by test release installs. Upgrading from a test release to a full release is not something anyone should expect to go smoothly. If it does...great...but its not expected to. And considering the scale of the problems regarding SELinux I really think every tester currently running test2 should expect to have to do a fresh install of the full release when it comes available. I'm certainly going to attempt an upgrade from test to full release just to see how things break..but i FULLY expect it to break and break badly. -jef"test releases eat babies"spaleta From knxmay001 at mail.uct.ac.za Tue Apr 6 00:23:02 2004 From: knxmay001 at mail.uct.ac.za (Maynard Kuona) Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 02:23:02 +0200 Subject: Alsa and SBLive background noise Message-ID: <1081210982.9860.14.camel@localhost.localdomain> I have a problem with ALSA and background noise. whenever the sound plays, I get this very annoying background noise if I check the sblive analog/output jack (using gnome-alsa-mixer) I cannot uncheck this because suddenly my master volume will only control the front speaker, which means the volume control becomes useless.

That's not the problem. Alsa doesn't work (I'm not even asked to play a test sound on first boot). The video driver gets the VESA treatment on install though.... install can't tell that it's dealing with an ATI RADEON 9200 for some reason. That and the ethernet port doesn't work without some extra driver, which is buggy in itself. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

I followed basically the approach published on the NVIDIA forum at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=26745, and re-compiled a new kernel. I did the following: 1. Read the Kernel Howto at http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO.html and another one at http://www.digitalhermit.com/~kwan/kernel.html 2. Read the RedHat 9 Customization Guide at https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/rpm/rhl-cg-en-9-2.noarch.rpm, especially the Appendix A. 3. All the following steps are done as root. cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 4. Copy Fedora config file into .config: cp configs/kernel-2.6.3-i686.config .config 5. In the .config file, change two lines: CONFIG_4KSTACKS=y to CONFIG_4KSTACKS=n and CONFIG_REGPARM=y to CONFIG_REGPARM=n 6. Make sure that in the Makefile, the Extra Version is different from the installed kernel: EXTRAVERSION = -2.1.253.2.1custom 7. Do: make mrproper 8. Do: make clean 9. Do: make dep (not necessary for 2.6 kernels?) 10. Do: make rpm 11. Wait a few hours while a new kernel is compiled 12. cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 13. rpm -i kernel-2.6.32.1.253.2.1custom-2.i386.rpm 14. new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1custom 15. Add 4 new lines to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file as follows (partition with label /12 is the one where the /boot partition lives. If /boot is on the / partition instead, the /vmlinuz... line needs to be /boot/vmlinuz... and similar for /initrd...) title Fedora Core (2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1) Custom root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1custom ro root=LABEL=/12 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1custom.img 16. Reboot with new kernel into runlevel 3. 17. Install NVIDIA drivers as usual. This took much longer than normal, and I found out that a few kernel modules were compiled AGAIN... 18. Change "nv" to "nvidia" in /etc/X11/XF86Config 19. Remove "Load dri" in /etc/X11/XF86Config 20. Switch to runlevel 5. Run "glxgears" at >500 frames/sec. Disclaimer: These steps are from memory. Essentially, building the FC2T2 kernel with the two parameter changes of step 5 does it until NVIDIA adjusts their driver to work with the other kernel configuration.

Sigh, never mind, spoke too soon, it only works with the 'old' custom 298 kernel I made (smbfs re-enabled). Its getting a bit confusing here now, booting the 'official' 2.6.4.1-305 kernel still results in modprobe causing a kernel bug trace. Also dunno if this is related (prolly not but who knows) trying to mount an smbfs share now gives me an 'invalid slot' everytime I try to access the directory where it at first glance seems to have succesfully mounted.

Anyone else having stability problems? Have had much worse problems with 1.4 on FC1 (work system) than current (http://people.redhat.com/katzj/evolution/) 1.5 on FC2T1/2 (home), but neither has been rock solid. Haven't gone back to try 1.4 on the development branch because there seems to be no good way to downgrade the mail directories.

After the update, the sound doesn't work. The chipset is a neomagic 256. The module is getting loaded and the system thinks sound is working. In fact, when a sound is supposed to be played, there is static and some "static" horizontal bars display on the screen for the duration of the sound static. I've seen this problem before with previous kernels (I beleve 2.2 and 2.4 had issues with this.. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). I went back to FC1 and "yum updated" the system -- the problem still exists. I'm not sure why/how it was working before. I've seen with Suse that there's some "Sony VAIO Tweak" which can be set for the nm256 kernel module -- when I set this it works with suse. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Both of those are true, but the definition of "update" may be a little confusing. :-) Sometimes, a package will get rolled back in rawhide between test releases (i.e. go from version 1.5 to 1.4). If you are just running "up2date" or "yum" against rawhide, you won't see that change; you have to do such updates manually. Also, if you install FC2t1 (or just FC1) and continually "up2date/yum" update to rawhide, you may miss changes that are done by anaconda (or changes in anaconda to default installs). The graphical boot is an example of something that changed in anaconda for new installs. If you just continue to update, you'll never see it by default; if you do a new install, you'll get it automatically. SELinux is most likely something similar; it will default to off for upgrades and on for new installs. Sometimes there are just too many things that can go wrong with a change during an upgrade that it is best to just not try it. -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Fedora Core 2 Test 2...Quite a bit of hassle to get it in, but not bad for Beta... Anyway, they are running a 2.6.4 kernel variant(as always "enhanced" by RedHat). I can compile and build the driver objects with the following steps: 1. Install Kernel Source RPM 2. Copy /usr/src/linux-2.6.4-1.305/configs/kernel-2.6.4-i686.config /usr/src/linux-2.6.4-1.305/.config 3. CVS checkout madwifi drivers. 4. Build madwifi drivers with "sudo make" Something needed that root can only access. 5 Install the madwifi drivers with "sudo make install" Now is where the fun begins...Fedora Core 1 worked great at this point with the 2.4 kernel that they are using. I reboot after step 5 and it appears that "kudzu" spins out of control and never finishes...I need kudzu for some reason, because my USB mouse never works without it running at startup. The machine doesn't lock up, but it does not progress any further that the "detecting new hardware" stage of the RedHat boot process. I did not configure the /etc/modprobe.conf to alias ath0 the first time. After rebooting and selecting "I" for interactive startup, I skipped kudzu and allowed the system to boot normally. The madwifi drivers come up and negotiate to the WAP just fine. However my USB mouse doesn't work without kudzu running(sheesh!). So, I CTRL-ALT-F1 when the system is at the login screen, login as root and run kudzu manually. The system initializes the USB system(BTW no USB devices are detected at all without the startup of kudzu) and my mouse starts working.

Even when I try setenforce 0, it still pauses at the Fedora 2 splash screen going into gnome. I realized its not a freeze because I can press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. The only thing I think could have caused this is having setenforce at 0 for a while (including to use up2date) and then turning it back on, OR the updates from yesterday (about 12 of them). After I press backspace, I see all these avc denied errors for /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth So can installing packages with setenforce=0 cause these kinda issues, or is it probably the new sysinit stuff? I started with selinux=0 kernel param and no problems. I think I'll leave it with selinux off until test 3. When do you think that'll be?

However, all works fine as root. Running aplay, I get: aplay: main:502: audio open error: Permission denied and, similarly, with alsamixer, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Permission denied This certainly appears to be SELinux related, as booting with selinux=permissive allows sound to play as expected.

Is the cd-rom that made the cd significantly newer than the cd-rom your attempting to install from? I know that the disc1 image from the following link boots, I used it about an hour ago to reinstall a game server. Try reburning that particular image with software that will reliably burn bootable cds (such as cdrecord on linux, hdiutil on macosx, nero on windows, etc) ftp://redhat.secsup.org:/pub/linux/redhat/fedora/core/test/1.90/i386/iso/ If that image does come up to the 'boot:' menu insert the Fedora Core 2 Test 2 cd and press return. If the kernel loads but does not continue into a text based installer prompting you for a language then... It is entirely possible that the fedora kernel installed on the boot media does not have the modules necessary for your particular ide chipset. Does the kernel detect your ide chipset correctly as it is loading? An example of a detected and supported ide chipset kernel echo would be: ## begin example NFORCE2: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:09.0 NFORCE2: chipset revision 162 NFORCE2: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later ## end example Does it locate the hard drive correctly? An example of a detected drive kernel echo would be: ## begin example hdd: WDC WD1200BB-00CAA1, ATA DISK drive hdd: max request size: 128KiB hdd: 234441648 sectors (120034 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) ## end example If it detects your ide chipset and detects a hard disk then it should theoretically be able to detect your cd-rom, mount it as root and start the installer. Inserting the first installation cd from FC2 Test1 until you get to the 'boot:' line, swapping cds to the first installation disk of FC2 Test2 and pressing enter should boot the system.

Am I supposed to have > only one of these packages installed? OK, I am NOT an expert but let me give it a try ... The policy package has the minimum necessary files defining the selinux security policy ... as currently implemented, you always need this package installed. The policy-sources package contains all of the source definitions (files in /etc/security/selinux/src/*) for creating the files /etc/security/selinux/file_contexts and /etc/security/selinux/policy. where is the "version number" of the policy ... currently 16. [Some of the recent policy package updates had/have a packaging problem and installed "policy." instead of "policy.16" where screw things up pretty bad although it can be fixed by simply renaming the file.] If you have a simple system and do not plan to fool with the security policy as currently defined by Red Hat, you need just the policy package. If you are going to customize your security policy and want to run setools, then you need policy-sources. Note: Installing/updating the policy package will load the new policy after it installs the files. Note: Installing/updating the policy-sources package will rebuild the policy.## file and the file_contexts file and loads them (makes them the current policy in effect). Note: If you have locally modified some of the policy sources, updating policy and/or policy-sources can have interesting (but not particularly desirable) effects. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118604 I suggest you take a look at the bugzilla reports for policy to see what types of problems are occurring. -- Gene From mike at bristolreccc.co.uk Tue Apr 6 09:08:28 2004 From: mike at bristolreccc.co.uk (mike) Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 10:08:28 +0100 Subject: Problem with httpd In-Reply-To: <1081163305.2147.1.camel@datacontrol> References: <1080933229.2730.2.camel@datacontrol> <406DCA88.1040602@gmx.de> <1081150231.11869.2.camel@datacontrol> <1081151287.4013.77.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1081163305.2147.1.camel@datacontrol> Message-ID: <1081242508.1897.6.camel@datacontrol> On Mon, 2004-04-05 at 12:08, mike wrote: > On Mon, 2004-04-05 at 08:48, Matias Feliciano wrote: > > Le lun 05/04/2004 ? 09:30, mike a ?crit : > > > On Fri, 2004-04-02 at 21:18, shrek-m at gmx.de wrote: > > > > mike wrote: > > > > > > > > >With test2 (fresh clean install) httpd fails to start with the following > > > > >Stopping httpd: [FAILED] > > > > >Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 272 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: > > > > >DocumentRoot must be a directory > > > > > > > > > >this is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf > > > > ># DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your > > > > ># documents.

Create a new CD1 iso image: cd /tmp/FC2test2 mkisofs -v -r -T -J -V 'Fedora Core 1.91 CD 1' -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 20 -boot-info-table -l -R -o /tmp/FC2test2-CD1.iso . 3. Burn the new iso image /tmp/FC2test2-CD1.iso and boot from it.

I've installed a number of rpms (wxGTK, lcms etc). When I run /sbin/ldconfig as su, I keep getting errors such as /sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/lib/liblcms.so.1.0.12 not found. If I create a simlink so that lcms works, the next time I run /sbin/ldconfig, the simlink is removed. I'm not sure if it is a selinux problem as when I perform the rpm -ihv, I get a number of errors such as /etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: invalid context system_u:object_r:canna_var_lib_t on line number 620 The other lines which always appear are dovecot_exec_t line 771 dovecot_auth_exec_t line 772 dovecot_cert_t line 773 and 774 dovecot_var_run_t line 775 pppd_etc_t line 1320 screensaver_exec_t line 1465 I'm still using the 2.6.3 selinux enabled kernel. I'm not using the 2.6.4 selinux kernel as it refuses to get to the login screen! As an extra, I've just installed mono from source, everything is fine until /sbin/ldconfig is run, so it does look like there is either an selinux or ldconfig problem TTFN Paul -- "Discovery is, in it's essence, a matter of re-arranging or transforming evidence in such a way that one is enabled to go beyond the evidence so re-assembled to additional new insights" - Bruner -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

In permissive mode all of the security policies are tested but nothing is denied (although the denied messages are issued). This allows file labeling to still work and not get screwed up. You can also switch between enforcing and permissive modes at runtime with the setenforce command.

Boot params were: acpi=off, apm=off, pci=userpirqmask, pnpbios=no None worked.... on either SMP or single CPU kernel. What I DID notice was some funny goings on in the IRQs of the SATA drives. The SMP kernel automatically sets the IRQs for both drives on the RAID to 209 (and I don't believe that's valid) The single CPU kernel sets both IRQs to 9 acpi, and apm off didn't really change anything pci=userpirqmask swapped the IRQs to 209 where it would have been 9. In either case, neither setting worked. 9 crashed the system outright. 209 crashed the system, but the swirling dots during the grey init screen kept going. Here's my board's IRQ placements.

Anyway, the computer I am using is a Celeron 500 Dell [gx110 slim desktop style] I have had FC1 on it for awhile and before that even RED HAT and windows. I have no idea why it is giving me such a problem this time but it seems to boot off of the boot.img file [in isolinux on the first cd] and floppy disks but not any other cds [linux cds that is because I have not tried any other ones] it has 320 MB and I get no errors. Although I will say that every so often the CDs will start to boot and then stop, sometimes the computer [but rarly] will restart after trying to boot from CD, and if I turn off the power and put it back on the CD will be more likely to boot.

Did you check the time stamps. On one of my recent updates rpmnew was older than the base file. I disbelieved that rpmnew was new and went to the policy-source and did the make things. Since file_contexts contains contexts that result from your "users" file and file_contexts.rpmnew has no way to know what decisions you made in /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/users and /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/tunable.te it makes sense to me that there was a problem. I would give a lot of attention to the days when a /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/tunable.te.rpmnew and a /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/users.rpmnew show up. Not to the extent that would just rename them. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

The problem seems to be a labelling issue. Most libraries have security attributes as follows: system_u:object_r:lib_t or system_u:object_r:shlib_t However, when I manually install an rpm (i.e. using apt, or just rpm -Uvh), it sets things up with: root:object_r:lib_t or root:object_r:shlib_t This then leads to the behaviour described above when running ldconfig. You can relabel the library with: chcon -u system_u [library] and then recreate the symlinks. Or, to make sure everything is fixed, run: fixfiles relabel but that will take some time, as seems to be a bit of overkill. I'm not sure how to get the correct user info on initial library install, but I hope this helps!

Upon Reboot the system consistantly hangs either at the point just before or just after going into run level 5. So... we tried to set it for run level 3 and run level 1 on boot by changing the /etc/inittab file and it still hung at various places before giving a login prompt. No errors were found in the /var/log/messages files. The system locks up hard! A complete power down is required to get the system to respond again. Turning off sound, SATA, ACPI, APM, BIOS Shadow, IDE DMA and setting fail-safe or Optimum defaults had no effect on the system. Install was not even possible for RH 9.0 / WhiteBox versions as the IDE driver only saw the SATA chip but never saw the Parallel IDE interface nor the drives attached to the PATA interface. Turning off the SATA interface in the BIOS HAD NO EFFECT on either of these versions.... NOTE: this motherboard and hardware configuration installed and ran Windows XP Pro fine. If you intend to run Linux on an Athlon 64 -- !!!! DO NOT USE THIS motherboard !!!! We have also had trouble getting Shuttle to respond to our technical requests. In fact we have had no response to our linux questions from shuttle even though we have made repeated requests. Buyers of Shuttles products intending to install linux should consider other vendors when trying to build an AMD64 based system.

It is for me (personally, not as part of my job), which is why I've been trying to participate in the appropriate forum, namely the linux1394 mailing lists. However, until Ben Collins merges the changes that apparently fixed ieee1394 into Linus' tree, FC devel won't have ieee1394. There's very little point in enabling a broken module or say trying to track a linux1394 SVN tree that was also broken (just in more subtle ways) until yesterday. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} From jrmizell at earthlink.net Tue Apr 6 17:37:46 2004 From: jrmizell at earthlink.net (John Mizell) Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 12:37:46 -0500 (GMT-05:00) Subject: Lexmark Photo P3150 Message-ID: <33059962.1081273066040.JavaMail.root@huey.psp.pas.earthlink.net> Has anyone had any luck getting this printer to work?

I was using rpm to update policy, so it told me that it had created file_contexts.rpmnew. I just assumed it was newer. I just installed policy-1.9.2-12 (and policy-sources) and it notified me that it had created file_contexts.rpmnew and policy.16.rpmnew and you are correct: BEFORE -rw-r--r-- 1 root 81512 Apr 5 21:06 file_contexts -rw-r--r-- 1 root 6433106 Apr 4 16:03 policy.16 AFTER -rw-r--r-- 1 root 82144 Apr 6 20:32 file_contexts -rw-r--r-- 1 root 83257 Apr 6 01:21 file_contexts.rpmnew -rw-r--r-- 1 root 6435946 Apr 6 20:32 policy.16 -rw-r--r-- 1 root 6413640 Apr 6 01:21 policy.16.rpmnew The installation of policy-sources replaced file_contexts and policy.16.

If don't want to use exactarch, then you don't have to. Yum will still only use architectures that are appropriate for your system.

Until now, for me, "exactarch=1" does not permit the installation of an i686 on an i486 system or does not permit arch "upgrade" (i368 -> i686).

You might want to check the X log to see if it is complaining about something in particular. init 5 on FC would normally start X and take you to a gdm login screen. The init stuff is just services etc. that are started when you change runlevel. I get the same messages. Your shell is still there, just hit return to see a prompt again.

Hardware: Nec versa P700 (laptop) Installation method: * Upgrade via yum (just add a mirror as a download repository) and 'yum update' * Upgrade problems & solutions - yum complained that the redhat-config-* packages needed /usr/bin/python2.2, which is not available in the new release - after removing the redhat-config-* packages, there was still a complaint about xfree86-lib (or something else xfree86- related). So I switched to runlevel 3, removed xfree86 and did the upgrade - After removing xfree, yum update went fine - Afterwards, had to install a couple of xorg packags and gdm (which does not seem very logical). BTW: if you start with xdm (and without gdm), the login manager still shows an 'xfree' logo - isn't that supposed to be 'x.org' -> raised some confusion with me about xfree/xorg * Remaining problems 1. Kudzu crashes Kudzu wants do display something about new hardware (keyboard???). A readable screen appears for about 1 second, and then a blue screen with strange white characters (nothing readable). System did not seem to react any further. I continued without kudzu. 2. Somehow, X crashes with the 2.6 kernel. Strange, when using the FC1 2.4.22-1.2174 kernel on the same system, everything goes fine.

Yes. It sounds like you want exactarch=0. So, I suggest you use exactarch=0 :) > I think it reasonable to permit update that "downgrade" the arch. Many people would not want that behavior. Especially since it result in a significant deviation from the current behavior. Sure, there could be a whole bunch of fine-grained exactarch "policies", but one of the two existing modes (on/off) usually works flawlessly for the vast majority of people, and when it does "fail", you can usually work around the issue trivially. Therefore, it would probably do more harm than good to include a bunch of fine-grained policies. -Michael -- Michael D.

Actually it's just that yum check-update is a little under-intelligent. It does a simple list it doesn't do exactarch or archscoring.

If you feel that some information is missing in the Fedora SELinux FAQ, file a bug report with the details. Text of a mailing list message with enough information and a link to the thread in the archives will work.

It seems as though the bug from FC1 was that selecting no firewall resulted in firewall --enabled in the anaconda kickstart config.

Message-ID: <1081293154.2907.18.camel@virilio.mine.nu> Hi, After I set grub boot for selinux=0, I found myself unable to use fish and sftp from within konqueror (but sftp would work from within a terminal). Even connections to localhost would not work, no error messages given, just hung interminably. After re-labelling the system and setting selinux=1 I can once again use fish/sftp. Now, is there some way I can totally get rid of selinux? Just, gone, no trace, and I hope to never see it again, without re-installing everything? I'm trying to use fc test2 as a desktop, not a server. I realize it is unstable, but I would like to focus on unstable desktop issues, not server-side. Also, it is hard to be sure if it selinux misbehaving or something else. I must of missed the option not to include it in the install program, but I don't remember anything. Not so sure why the inclusion of selinux, anyway. If FC is supposed to be THE linux desktop, then what need is there for excessive security that will confuse newbies? And as I understand it, since FC is now the beta-test platform for redhat, who would use it as a server OS, anyway? I will stick to RH 9 or bsd for serving, but I want to see FC the best linux desktop out there.

The basic scheme is to pick a mirror that is quick, current and lowly congested. The next step is to select the Ethernet card you want to use, if more than on NIC. Select either the ftp (for ftp mirrors) of http installation, for http mirrors. Enter the mirror or IP address of your selection. (Example: download.fedora.redhat.com ) Enter the path to the directory on the mirror. (Example: /pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/ ) If boot.iso and the development tree are stable enough, the second stage would start to download. This usually takes awhile. From then on, X will start, if compatible and the install will go much the same way as installing from CDs, minus disk switching and added a bit longer install time. I'm not much with trying to explain stuff. I hope this helps to get you started. Good luck, Jim -- Domestic happiness and faithful friends.

I've asked others what they like about it and tried to appreciate those features. And I still despise spatial. I think the really important question, though, is which is easier for new users. And I can't help but feel that spatial makes things unnecessarily confusing to the novice and hides too many features that a novice *would* want. It's a simple switch in gconf. I strongly believe that fedora should ship with spatial turned off by default. More advanced users will know how to turn it on if they want it.

Check in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and you should find the synaptic.spec file. The source is in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/synaptic-0.48.1.tar.gz , as you can see from the verbose output. This "warning: user machbuild does not exist - using root" is related to the inexistence of the user that was used to create the rpm package. It is just a warning to show that certain things related to the package had to be changed in your system (in this case , the owner of the files is root , instead of machbuild) and this doesnt affect the package at all. -- Pedro Macedo From janina at rednote.net Wed Apr 7 03:09:30 2004 From: janina at rednote.net (Janina Sajka) Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 23:09:30 -0400 Subject: SATA RAID, tested again, blaming IRQs In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20040407030930.GJ2916@rednote.net> Does it matter what SATA RAID controller one gets?

If you watch the init during boot, you will see that if ntp is selected to load, it will load iptables to punch a hole on port 123 so ntp will work... regardless of your wish not to install a firewall at install. One may argue til your blue in the face with the maintainers on this topic but it follows their recent history of dumbing down the installer to be as newbie-friendly as possible - at great risk of hiding the details from everybody. After all, those who can hack their way around iptables can just do a "iptables -L -v -n" and find out which port is open, no?

The 'What's new' guide shows how you can see your location in the directory tree.

This suggests that selinux was not enabled when you booted. That is, that you have selinux=0 on the kernel line (or as a boot parameter or /etc/sysconfig/selinux contains SELINUX=disabled.) Try this: boot with "enforcing=0" (without the quotes and no selinux=0) after booting and logging in as root, get to a terminal and cd /etc/security/selinux/src/policy make load make relabel (this will take awhile, let it run) reboot (also with enforcing=0) that should put you in "permissive mode" Hope this helps, Richard Hally From jkeating at j2solutions.net Wed Apr 7 05:15:22 2004 From: jkeating at j2solutions.net (Jesse Keating) Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 22:15:22 -0700 Subject: SATA RAID, tested again, blaming IRQs In-Reply-To: <20040407030930.GJ2916@rednote.net> References: <20040407030930.GJ2916@rednote.net> Message-ID: <200404062215.23023.jkeating@j2solutions.net> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Tuesday 06 April 2004 20:09, Janina Sajka wrote: > Does it matter what SATA RAID controller one gets?

When I run the make rpm and the rpm - 1, I see number of errors all similar to :- /etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: invalid context root:object_r:staff_home_xauth_t on line number 174. This happens with both the current kernel povided with FC2 and a stock 2.6.5 downloaded from kernel.org. When I try and add my new kernel to grub - I can't find a .img file for my new kernel. I run make mrproper copy the correct config file to .config make clean make rpm rpm -i kernel............ Anyone know what I am doing wrong..?

Regards, Noe =p ** I noticed references to the split in agpgart kernel loading, and tried to get intel_agp and agpgart to load via modprobe (successfully) and then modprobe'd radeon - all in runlevel 3, all work fine. All messages nomimal, no puking, only problem, no DRI, and glxinfo says Direct Rendering: No This is despite seeing the messages in /var/log/XFree86.0.log saying it actually DID load DRI/DRM; dmesg says R200 microcode loaded and AGP enabled to 4x, so i dont get it... /shrug... its like its there, but ist not... I would be more than happy to be your test dummy, if there is anything I can do. I became fairly adroit with config'ing XFree86 with 8.0/9.0 even 2.1AS and 3.0AS at work, I could always overcome the problem with enough reading of Google and hacking of conf files, so if there is anything I can do to help (selfishly enabling my 3D at home by side result...) then I am your guinea pig!

However, I have reasons for caring about the answer to this question which go beyond simple inconvenience to myself. I have some windows->linux desktop conversion projects going in which I expect this to become an issue soon, and have already hit some embarrassing snags. For example, evolution taking over 5 minutes to print any email composed in Arial font because it was trying to include an entire Chinese ttf font in the PS file, and actually crashing some printers with an out of memory condition. It's RH's reputation and future in my organization that I am so nervous about. If it were just me, I'd let it slide. Also, I have come to notice, and finally to expect, that any question that I post on any mailing list which involves using X remotely, in particular, remote sound issues, typically is met with an eerie silence, as if "nobody ever does that". Google searches on the topic tend to turn up little or nothing; Often just someone else asking the same question 2 years ago and never getting any response at all in all that time. Odd, since I strongly believe that the next wave of Linux desktop use, the corporate desktop, will depend heavily on networked X terminals.

Otherwise the older one must be running still. (or easier, maybe you can kill gnome-panel. It will get re-spawned with the newer version if there is only one install) b) what does 'gnome-panel --version' on the prompt say? If you installed the older version from source into a directory other than /usr/bin, then I think rpm will not be able to replace that with the newer version and both will exist.... If rpm -qa is showing only one version, that most probably is the case. Just check if you have gnome-panel in /usr/local/bin too (?) c) Another guess: If you actually have 2 versions installed in 2 different places, verify that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not causing mix-ups and you are not using the newer libs with the older panel. cheers, Siddharth.

For raid1 the killer is PCI bus bandwidth - twice the data. Some of the newer SATA hardware is getting quite smart at being neither hw or sw raid but a good hybrid.

It would be nicer if we had the choice to be able to use nautilus as it was under FC1 instead of having to select "browse folder" - that way you can have the several windows. I really do think it's a bad idea not to be able to set something somewhere so that users have the choice of opening as a window or browsing as a folder by default.

You can verify SELinux is disables by executing a command that looks for the security context ls -Z or by executing getenforce If things are not working with selinux=0 in the grub entry. They you have a non-selinux related problem. Enforcing=0 turns off enforcing mode of SELinux, but continues to log to syslog. It actually will give you more eroneous errors than Enforcing=1, because in enforcing mode a script might be blocked at the directory level with a no audit and not try to read the files. In non enforcing mode it will be allowed to read the directory and every file it reads will generate a denial message.

I have been trying to install fedora test 2 core 2 over the internet via http or ftp with no luck. I have created the boot cd from the boot.iso that is in the "images" directory under the os directory on the download pages. I get to the point in the install where i have entered the ftp server name and red hat directory, the installer then says "Retrieving Fedora/base/stage2.img..." then it says "The Fedora Core installation tree in that directory does not seem to match your boot media" I assume this meens that the boot.iso is from an older version (fedora core 1?) and will not actually install fedora core 2 test 2. how do i install via http or ftp? thank you, Lucas From fedora at shmuelhome.mine.nu Wed Apr 7 14:15:31 2004 From: fedora at shmuelhome.mine.nu (shmuel siegel) Date: Wed, 07 Apr 2004 17:15:31 +0300 Subject: selinux breaks fish/sftp in konqueror?

I'm sorry, this is a non-sequitur. Statement 1 conflicts with statement 2. Plus, it IS hidden. It requires a mouse click to reveal, and ONLY the parent folder.

The issue isn't with the gphoto/gtkam stuff its with the underlying USB code. Upon further investigation, I found out that the USB layer doesn't detect dynamically plugged in devices (anymore) ie. all controllers are empty. I think you may find that you camera works if you plug it in and reboot. But as soon as you unplug it, its gone, and won't re-appear when you plug it back in again.

I'm using the ATI driver on my laptop now. The only problem I have is that the package from FC development does not run with DRI (libatidri error on X start) when I compile the src rpm. It works with non-DRI. I'm running FC1 not FC2 by the way.

This is available as a hidden gconf preference. To enable it run gconf-editor (also available as Application Menu -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor) and go to apps/nautilus/preferences then just check always_use_browser, and all your nautilus windows will be like browse folder.

I've never set NTP during install on the laptop, since most of the time it's offline. /etc/init.d/ntpd looks as though it does a sane check to make sure that any iptables configured on the box is that of the RH firewall.

I was questioning if this was an anaconda issue, but I don't think this is an issue in the NTP init script, but something else somewhere. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118667 This looks to describe the problem (and at least has the right dates in it). I don't think I can add anything other than "me too" to the bug report though. -- Regards, Adam Allen. adam at dynamicinteraction.co.uk pgp http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x553349DB -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The installer (anaconda) is a corner case but rpm certainly could be a method of attack and as you say rpm doesn't always account for a packages files.

I have noticed that some of the more recent kernel-source packages have not been pre-compiled, where some in the past have been pre-compiled. I am using VMWare and I need to update the VMWare configuration against the latest kernel. The latest kernel-source packages don't seem to have things pre-compiled. Is there a reason for this? I think it would make sense that if there are going to be kernel packages that the kernel source packages would be compiled based on the standard kernel package. Any thoughts?

At least it's eye-hand coordination with your suggestion, rather than speed-reading, and I'm not 100% sure all systems support the pause/break feature.

Because windows uses some special workaround to pipe the audio through the IDE cable. When this was first done, the audio quality was very very crappy. Not sure how it is now, but it's still highly recommended that an audio cable is used, even if using Windows. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?

The compiled version of this package is called "kernel". I'm pretty sure it's part of the base distribution. :) My guess is you're looking for a .config file? You can find them (one for each kernel variant) in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.whatever/configs directory. Copy one to .config in the source directory and do a "make oldconfig".

There are two different ways to play audio CDs. Get CD playing software which is capable of reading out the audio CDs digitally. E.g. XMMS's CD Audio Player plug-in supports it and is included within Fedora Core "xmms" package. Check the plugin's configuration (Preferences in XMMS) and choose between analogue/digital. The former requires a cable. The latter not.

Searching desktop-devel-list and usability archives for "spatial" only serves to indicate that there was very little discussion and that most of the commentary about opening folders in their own windows was negative. I saw no mentions of any usability studies at all. As to being a nice player, if the nautilus guys jump off a bridge, I see no reason that Fedora necessarily needs to follow.

I sincerely doubt it will happen any time soon for the simple fact that it is far, far too early to consider it as a default feature. The specification isn't even finalized and is in somewhat of a state of flux. If it is being considered, I sure hope Red Hat takes the wait-and-see approach. There's also significant opposition to SPF as it breaks forwarding and the proposed solution , SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) has a long way to go before enough administrators have confidence that it won't effectively turn their mail systems into open relays even temporarily.

Read desktop-devel-list at gnome archives, or Such usability studies (the ones that I saw, at least) used novices or end-users. Secretaries and the like, people that by the nature of their jobs only "frequent" a few directories on their machines and use a few applications. On the other hand, my wife is an english teacher and only users a few apps, but if she can't have a tree view of her stuff she'll rip your balls off. Anyone who needs to manage a large number of directories, or several nested directories, will not use "spatial" (GOD! I hate that term.

Actually, I think I'm being a nice player by letting them know how wrong it is to impose a point-of-view that didn't had even a _hope_ of ever being the majority's opinion. Witness the controversy on the usability list. I also must point out that MS Windows had that flat view option for ages and it never became the dominant setting. Not a single poerson that I know uses it, except some of the Mac freaks. But these people are sick :-).

I have updated every day and am currently up-to-date with the development tree. Each time I boot, the system behaves differently. It will hang on some problem, even have a kernel panic and then on the next boot get to login just fine. After running for a while, the mouse will freeze. Sometimes killing X (ctrl-alt-backspace) will get me back, but other times I have to hit the hardware reset. I finally get frustrated and return to FC1 which is rock solid, so I don't think I have any lurking hardware issues. Are any others having this type of operation with FC2 T2? I have SELinux disabled because I couldn't get many things I wanted to try working with it enabled.

You should be thankful that the value is always zero since this means sleep() is not implemented as a busy loop.

I haven't tried to setup X with the newest rawhide packages yet. The strange thing was that the installer worked fine in the GUI mode and completed successfully. I was surprised that X didn't start for firstboot. I didn't check if xfs was running or not. (post-install) I did not enable SELinux for this installation. The driver that X wants to use is the VMware driver. Any clues to either getting X to eventually work with newer versions of certain rpms would be appreciated. This is on a Dell 2.4 GHz processor.

The purpose of the file is to set one of the three values when the system boots but not change it on the fly while the system is up? OK, so the next question is where is that file read and used ? the init program? sysinit? I get the impression that it will be overridden by kernel parameters, how does that happen? Last question, has consideration been given to changing the value in that file when someone changes the actual status of SELinux(enforcing or permissive) with setenforce.

It's a priority mechanism - kernel parameters (selinux=0, or enforcing=(1|0)) take precedence, then the values in /etc/sysconfig/selinux, then whatever the kernel default is. > Last question, has consideration been given to changing the value in > that file when someone changes the actual status of SELinux(enforcing or > permissive) with setenforce.

For some reason the boot discs don't work on everybody's machines. The easiest workaround is to download disk1 of FC1 and use that to boot. When you get the boot prompt switch to disk1 of fc2 and continue the install from there. That said, if you are looking for a replacement to XP, I wouldn't recommend fc2 yet. Use fc1 until fc2 is actually released. Even if you want to test fc2, I would still recommend installing fc1 since you might need a stable linux system to fall back to in order to repair any problems caused by fc2.

Graphics Controller: Intel 82845G Adapter string: Intel 82845G /GL/GE/PE/GV controller Mem Size = 64megs I haven't installed any drivers in Linux, I did in winxp, but it didn't affect FC1 screen savers. It wouldn't have anything to do with linux would it? Never tried glxgears but tuxracer gives me a black screen then some flashes of color and lines in sections of the screen then I need to reboot also. Same as screen saver setup. Must be the drivers???? Looked at Intel site and didn't find any for linux, hope this is enough info to get started. I believe the screen saver is set for 30 minutes, at that time it kicks in and all locks up also. If I keep working all is fine as long as I have nothing to do with the SS.

My video is an ATI Radeon Mobility M9 built into my laptop. In my case, TuxRacer worked fine for the one race, but some of the GL screen savers has caused the machine ? to lockup. The X cursor still moves, but no keyboard, not mouse clicks, no switching to an alternate screen. Before last nights X update, TuxRacer and the GL screensavers worked really slowly, but at least the machine didn't lock up.

When Red Hat updates to Postfix 2.1 (currently in release candidate stage, so it probably won't make FC2, but should FC3), it includes support for policy daemons. Those are used to implement SPF (and lots of other things). Whether it's a good idea for SPF to be enabled is a whole other question, though ;-) later, chris From Fulko.Hew at sita.aero Thu Apr 8 13:41:51 2004 From: Fulko.Hew at sita.aero (Fulko.Hew at sita.aero) Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2004 09:41:51 -0400 Subject: screensaver setup and tuxracer hang X?

I have never installed 'proprietary' drivers before, I guess I never had to, and I didn't even know they existed for ATI cards (only nVidia).

There's a line in the script (which I don't have in front of me or I'd paste the text) that searches for the XFree86 version or returns 0.0.0. If you change the 0.0.0 to 4.4.0, then /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl script will complete.

Hm, it does have net and linux... I made a symlink from asm-i386 to asm, then. Now I get: The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is a kernel header file directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected. This can happen if the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the "make mrproper" command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want to rebuild your kernel.

This is mentioned here: http://codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt An aditional driver is required for XFree86 to process the raw event devices from the synaptics. This has been discussed quite a lot previously - the current state of affairs are: 1) source rpm for driver http://pauln.truemesh.com/rpms/synaptics-0.12.5-0.fdr.1.src.rpm 2) system-config-mouse needs to recognise synaptics and configure XF86Config/xorg.config appropriately If the synaptics driver does not go into core I will push to fedora.us, it may be worth noting that certain functionality with touchpads will not be available in the RELEASE-NOTES.

Is it because of system timer resolution? I doubt it, because this call seems to only have a resolution of 10 milliseconds as tested (notice the changing number). Is it because of alloted timeslice (round-robin process scheduling)? Can't be, because regardless of the timeslice, this is running time as you said, and chances are small that the code would always run aligned to a nice even value of processor time like that.

Probably not in time FC2; I'd like to do the build system changes and JPackage interop stuff before I start adding any packages.

Can't promise any joy as I'm running FC2T2 as a guest on a FC1 host, and do not have vmware-tools installed (couldn't get them to build on the guest - can't recall the error right now, but do remember that trying to install them killed X); but FWIW here's my /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Ditto here. These boxes exporting nfs dirs are not firewalled and have no access restrictions for other clients in the network. They work fine for all clients except for the one running FC2. I can reboot the FC2 box into Debian and it mounts the directories as expected. I seriously doubt that the nfs servers are at fault.

Hi Sean! I just compared the contents of /isolinux/ in boot.iso and the .iso of FC2test2 and the only files which are slightly different are: boot.cat ******** FC2test2: bytes 28 and 29: 03 06 boot.iso bytes 28 and 29: 79 05 isolinux.bin ************ FC2test2: bytes 12 and 13: 03 06 boot.iso bytes 12 and 13: 79 05 I'm not sure if this is of relevance, but just to mention it... I made a bootable CD myself a few months ago and never encountered such a strange behavior (all attempts to boot my CD worked well on the machine I'm currently installing FC2 on). I used this: CDIMAGE=cdimg ISO=my.iso mkisofs -o $ISO -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -l \ -R -r $CDIMAGE Does anyone know how the current test2 iso's were built ?

The reasonable way to do it (IMHO) is to get the dvd image, grab the isolinux files and make a cd with them, and put the Fedora tree on your http/ftp server and use that to install from there. After you are done you can update using yum (yum -y update).

Well, sure enough it broke X. Installed vmware tools, implemented your hack to /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl, and installed in runlevel 1 permissive mode. Rebooted the VM and FC2T2 went into a loop of trying to start X repeatedly, then offering to show output of log files, running config, and failing again. After switching to a virtual console at one of the pause points, logging in as root, and doing "telinit 3", a bit of sleuthing (inspecting /etc/X11/XF86Config and /etc/sysconfig/mouse) showed that the /dev/mouse link required by XF86Config was missing. Doing "ln -s /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse", and "telinit 5" I finally got a gdm login screen. The vmware-toolbox seems to be working, at least as far as the GUI toolbox window, and the automatic freeing of the mouse when attempting to leave the window. No more "ctrl-alt-shift" nonsense.

Not that it lessens the usefulness of it, just pointing out that it doesn't beat the "vmlinuz/initrd.img/grub method discussed earlier", it is the same method. -- William Hooper From nutello at sweetness.com Thu Apr 8 22:17:13 2004 From: nutello at sweetness.com (Rudi Chiarito) Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2004 00:17:13 +0200 Subject: [SPAM] - Re: FC2T2 VMware 4.5.1 (workstation) on WinXPsp1 - Xorg does notwork - Found word(s) list error in the Text body.

Otherwise it's been I've seen that as well, with VMware 4.5.1 (FC2T2 as both the host and the guest). In my case it looks like the keyboard is not always detected at boot time. If you inspect /var/log/messages, you will probably see two lines like: input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1 atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 0, code 0xb8 on isa0060/serio0). When the keyboard is correctly detected, the second line is replaced with something like this instead: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 Was the VMware window focused when you started the VM? I have found that focusing the VMware window (and hitting random keys) several times will sooner or later cause the kernel to detect that a keyboard has just been plugged in.

I am trying vmware 4.5.1 and also got this error when trying to upgrade to the new kernel. I had to edit grub.conf manually and then generate an initrd.img for both the up and the smp kernels. The kernels seemed to boot successfully with the manual intervention. As to the problem in general. I think a bug report should be submitted. I still don't have X up and running. I did manage to get all of the latest updates to download, after removing ethereal from the mix. When I did the initial install, I chose linux with a 2.6 kernel.

The machine doesn't lock up, but it does not progress any further that the "detecting new hardware" stage of the RedHat boot process. I did not configure the /etc/modprobe.conf to alias ath0 the first time. After rebooting and selecting "I" for interactive startup, I skipped kudzu and allowed the system to boot normally. The madwifi drivers come up and negotiate to the WAP just fine. However my USB mouse doesn't work without kudzu running(sheesh!). So, I CTRL-ALT-F1 when the system is at the login screen, login as root and run kudzu manually. The system initializes the USB system(BTW no USB devices are detected at all without the startup of kudzu) and my mouse starts working. Kudzu runs...very slowly and intermittently...and it detects the Atheros Chipset based 802.11g card. Since I have already configured it, I have skipped it for now.

We already have commmons-logging in FC2 so it's probably not a huge issue. If interoperability works then users have access to JPackage + native stuff that is probably enough.

This will not make it upstream because the GIMP people target GTK+ 2.0 features. The new file selector would impose GTK2.4 on them, which they are unwilling to do. Its not like other apps are not hacked. Fedora Core 2 will ship with GTK+ 2.4 so that will not be a problem for Fedora users at all. The reason to target GTK+ 2.4 for the gimp guys is because there are people still using Redhat 8 for example, so it would not be fair or good to use features in the latest and greatest GTK. Its a matter of using a patch that is applied when you make the rpm packages only.

Offhand, I would guess that something is running setfiles, and setfiles is attempting to check all of the contexts in the file_contexts specification. We can certainly modify setfiles to immediately abort if is_selinux_enabled() < 1, but I'm not sure why setfiles is being automatically run on your system. Do you see it running in your process table? What's the parent process? A workaround for you would be to boot with selinux=0. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From paul at all-the-johnsons.co.uk Fri Apr 9 12:55:01 2004 From: paul at all-the-johnsons.co.uk (Paul) Date: Fri, 09 Apr 2004 13:55:01 +0100 Subject: More on my missing applets Message-ID: <1081515301.887.2.camel@T7.linux> Hi, Seems it is a bonobo error.

I beg to differ. :-) I was referring to the method in http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg00445.html which uses isolinux/initrd.img, rather than boot.iso, as the initrd and does not give the nice boot menu (and perhaps additional drivers?) that is available with the boot.iso approach.

Its kind of nice to use the new selector instead since it is so much better. I suppose we will be stuck with the old one for a while then.

Some working ways to rebuild the ISO image are discussed in the corresponding bug report at http://bugzilla.redhat.com Run "isodebug" on the ISO image file of the first CD. It prints the command and options, which were used to build that ISO image (if you don't want to use a hex editor to find that out). There is no difference in command and options compared with FC 2 Test 1, which was working fine.

You mentioned testing SELinux, but there are other things you could ask us to test. Also what would be useful information on how to diagnose problems and how to test it. For instance, let's say in test3 IEEE1394 is enabled, you could go: IEEE1394 is enabled. Please test the following: - Adding devices, removing devices. Make sure its detected on hotplug and bootup. To hotplug, you'll need to... blah blah - Using a firewire hard drive - Do some test writes of large (>1GB files) and then read it back and do an MD5SUM of both and see if they match. Do some tests of small reads, also, such as copying a directory and then doing an MD5SUM of all files in the directory. The best way to do that might be to [info on how to do it efficiently] - Try burning to a CD blah blah Quality testing cannot be done by developers beyond a certain point. To really iron out the obscure bugs, we need a lot of testing, and to provide documentation on diagnosing issues and testing techniques to use with Fedora would help testers give test reports that are informative enough so developers could easily track down the issues.

Thanks Chris! So I just created another fresh image with the options above: mkisofs -A "FC/1.91 i386" -V "FC/1.91 i386" -J -R -v -T -x ./lost+found -o /home/cap/FC2test2-CD1_ori.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table . ...and it boots... The size of this image is about 6kb less than of the previous fresh image, but still about 15megs bigger than the original image. Since the options of mkisofs are the same now, what else could lead to a different image size ??? *clueless* Cheers, Hannes.

Sadly, creating usable documentation aimed at better guiding testers, is a manpower issue as much as anything else. The developers are having a hard enough time just keeping up with technical issues as they are reported, so even if you could sucker them into writing guidelines aimed at inexperienced testers, it would be difficult for it to bubble up to a reasonable priority on a list of things to do. We have to bring some extra manpower online to sketch out the issue of documentation and guidance to testers for it to get anywhere. I don't know if the fedora-docs project is really the best place for this effort of if a new effort specific to streamlining communication during testing phases is in order. I wish i had more time to actually sit down and work on this issue myself. Here is where my head is at about testing guidance in general: - there is a need for a general introduction document, sort of a manifesto laying out the intent of testing and the expectations testers should come into the process with. A little hand hold about bugzilla perhaps as well. Very static document i would imagine. - more directed documentation about common approaches to gathering information and preparing a bug report. Not so fined grained as being package by package. This i expect would be a living document, with additions pretty much all the time. - communication of time based targets or focus during testing phase. Maybe a weekly focus. - maybe a codification of action items like your IEEE1394 example, so that developers can easily notify testers of specific changes that need testing. Maybe even have a package by package daily set of action items testers could look over. For it to work well there would have to be a drop dead easy way to build an action item and a drop dead easy way to sort over action items. The problem here is, if its more work for the developers, who already don't have enough hours in the day, would something like this really get used. Making it as easy if not easier for the developers than the end-user would be important. As much as i want people to think about this issue now, i'm of a mind that its best to wait till after fc2 is out the door to have a focused discussion on how to make the next testing phase better. I don't want a 'lessons learned' conversation taking cycles away from current testing, when there aren't enough developer cycles as it is. -jef From andy at plausible.org Fri Apr 9 20:20:08 2004 From: andy at plausible.org (Andy Ross) Date: Fri, 09 Apr 2004 13:20:08 -0700 Subject: Where's CONFIG_4KSTACKS?

I uncommented it even though I do use the - oraw option in my smb.conf. Now it asks me if I have ESP Ghostscript installed which I think is a dead end, because I haven't removed any packages. Here's the relevant line from /var/log/messages: Apr 9 17:15:50 FC2 smbd[7995]: [2004/04/09 17:15:50, 0] printing/ print_cups.c:cups_job_submit(766) Apr 9 17:15:50 FC2 smbd[7995]: Unable to print file to usblp0 - client-error-document-format-not-supported Here's my printer entry form smb.conf: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = yes printable = yes print command = cupsdoprint -P'%p' -oraw %s use client driver = yes oplocks = no share modes = no Everything used to work perfectly.

I have the same trouble that someone else mentioned on the list a few days ago: FC2T2 boots and installs fine manually, but if I try to use a kickstart file (even the one that anaconda created from the manual install), I get the "No Driver Found" box with no IDE drivers listed. I have read through all of the e-mails from the list for the last couple of weeks (even all of the BAD Joke ones) and I didn't see any mentions of a work around or solution to this one. I also did several searches on bugzilla and could not find this problem. If it is already in bugzilla could someone point it out to me. I am installing on a Pentium 4 from a custom CD with the kickstart file on it. As I said before if I don't use the kickstart file and just install manually it installs fine.

Either of these should be reasonable options (upstream preferred.. but that probably will not be possible for FC2 release). There are numerous patches applied in SRPMs, and IF this can be done by a simple patch it would help improve the desktop (uniformity goes along way) -- but we are discussing an application that is difficult to use in general, so it is a minor improvement.

Not yet; I want to see if Red Hat will put them up in Fedora Core first. Personally, I think that access to strong cryptography is important enough that these packages should be in Fedora Core itself. Besides, I'd like to see Red Hat shuffle the initscripts around so that the saved entropy is restored to the random number generator in rc.sysinit. Then, encrypted swap partitions could be the default...

True. However it is easy enough for developers to drop a message to this list if there's something that they want to see tested. The readers of this list would then have to sort through all the messages. Maybe we could have "please test" at the start of the subject of such messages so people who aren't looking for new things to test could delete them all. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From mackay_d at bellsouth.net Sat Apr 10 05:05:42 2004 From: mackay_d at bellsouth.net (David G.

That hangs my Vaio (or does, when not using ACPI). Thanks, I've done a bit of brute force debugging in rc.sysinit, and it appears that my problem is in chvt. I suspected acpi and selinux, but disabling them didn't help. chvt seems to be the culprit.

At the moment I am running kernel 2.6.5.315 and it is > smooth as it can be The problem is related to the nVIDIA kernel module for AGP -- if you don't use their proprietary driver you will not see this condition arise. The problem is not use of an nVIDIA card, but use of their driver for 3D accelerated rendering with that card. Knowing the kernel version you're using without the driver version does not help much (but I suspect you are not using the driver in question). -- Andrew Farris, CPE senior (California Polytechnic University, SLO) fedora at andrewfarris.com :: lmorgul on freenode "The only thing neccessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

To "own a box" means to obtain illegal administrative access without the administrator knowing. It usually involves installing a modified login program, or a daemon that accepts logins on a special port to provide access to the attacker without changing /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.

Currently we have no facility for different privilege levels for RPMs. Every time you run rpm it runs in the same context which gives it permission to write to almost every file in the system. There is currently no SE Linux option to install a hostile rpm without having it do whatever it wants. If you run rpm with --noscripts and --notriggers then it should be limited in the damage it can cause. It can still put binaries in the path, so it could create /usr/kerberos/sbin/ls and wait for the administrator to run it (in my system /usr/kerberos/sbin is before /bin in the path). To prevent damage from hostile rpms we need to have a different context for rpm, no scripts and no triggers as default, and any files that are executed by a user would have to trigger a domain transition. Of course even a domain transition isn't really enough to prevent attacks through ptys. At the moment if you don't trust someone to provide a good rpm then don't run their software. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From pboy at barkhof.uni-bremen.de Sat Apr 10 09:11:53 2004 From: pboy at barkhof.uni-bremen.de (Peter Boy) Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2004 11:11:53 +0200 Subject: unknown symbol while updating to kernel 2.6.5-1.315 [x86_64] Message-ID: <1081588313.5235.23.camel@littlePiet> While updating to kernel-2.6.5-1.315.x86_64.rpm (using rpm -i) I got the message: WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.315/unsupported/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko needs unknown symbol sleep_on I don't use reiserfs so I don't have to care about it.

Thanks for your advice! My posting did refer to the open source nv driver. I suppose your XF86config is for the binary nvidia driver. I downloaded the nvidia driver for AMD64 but failed to get it compiled (cf my separate post). As soon as I can manage to install it, I will test the dual head configuration.

Providing that you have a few basic files labeled correctly (init, mingetty, login, gdm, and sshd) the machine should run fine in permissive mode (append enforcing=0 to the kernel command line) no matter how badly the rest of it is messed up. If you boot the machine in permissive mode then you will have AVC messages logged about operations that would be denied if you were in enforcing mode (so your machine will still work). If you send us these messages then we can help you fix the problems. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From fedora at gxconcepts.com Sat Apr 10 13:26:40 2004 From: fedora at gxconcepts.com (Brandon Petersen) Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2004 08:26:40 -0500 Subject: Latest Kernel Update Locks Up Laptop In-Reply-To: <200404101402.11001.markkukolkka@kolumbus.fi> References: <1081316558.13421.2.camel@oscar.metro1.com> <1081376321.17018.205.camel@oscar.metro1.com> <20040407234521.GA2241@nostromo.devel.redhat.com> <200404101402.11001.markkukolkka@kolumbus.fi> Message-ID: <1081603600.1903.23.camel@dhcppc5> I do not have any idea on how to determine what the cause of the lockup is, but the latest round of updates has been causing my Dell Inspiron 2500 to lockup. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120547 The computer makes it to the graphical login screen, but then locks up there.

Not the proper method but it usually works. However, this time it has killed gnome-panel. Whenever I try to start gnome-panel, it fails with the error message "I've detected another panel already running, so I will now exit". Obviously I have checked and there is not another gnome-panel running. I tried creating a fresh test account, and I see the same behavior, so it is not specific to anything I have in my home directory. Any idea what causes this? I would gladly reinstall FC2T2, but am stymied by the following: The stock FC2T2 boot.iso has the "hdc using ignore" problem on my machine. The development boot.iso doesn't recognize the FC2T2 discs. I can't find development .isos. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm new to this mailing list, so I'm not sure if anyone else has already pointed this out. (I certainly didn't find it) I downloaded NVIDIA drivers version 5336-pkg1 and compiled it without troubles (I didn't recompile the kernel). The graphics acceleration worked out perfectly (I'm running Warcraft III with winex3 faster than in Windows!). The problem is that when I boot Linux, it sometimes crash just before starting GDM. It does open X and that nice progress bar shows up, but if I don't keep moving the mouse (?!) it crashes and the only way out is to press reset! (The screen is black, the keyboard and the mouse don't work at all) It doesn't crash after that, but it does take a while to get the mouse running when I switch virtual consoles. -- Just to be complete: I installed Fedora Core without any issue except for the mouse that wasn't working on the installation and after it. I opened /etc/X11/XF86Config, commented out the line: # Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2", changed # Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" to Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" in theInputDevice section for the mouse and it worked fine.

In modprobe.conf I only had the following entries: alias eth0 8139too alias 0.0.0 8139too alias usb-controller uhci-hcd I added: # ALSA portion alias char-major-116* snd alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14* soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && { /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >>/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove Replace snd-ens1371 with your soundcard driver. When I searched for my soundcard driver I found snd-ens1371.ko, so I tried: modprobe snd-ens1371 and it worked (make sure you can write to /dev/dsp) Let me know if that works for you too!

I also just had a strange experience with SELinux: I disabled it in /etc/sysconfig/selinux (SELINUX=disabled) in order to run "updatedb", then reenabled it and after that the screen was flooded by audit klogd messages. I logged in via ssh from another machine and did a "fixfiles relabel" That will set the SELinux permissions on all files and after that I did't have any audit-klogd messages. But sorry, I'm somewhat clueless if it already fails at /sbin/init... Maybe via an emergency CD ? Cheers, Hannes. PS: to disable SELinux temporarily (i.e. to run a command that won't with SELinux enabled) use "setenforce 0" and "setenforce 1" to switch it on again.

It would be interesting to know whether an i386 version of Fedora Core 2 test-2 can be installed.

Message-ID: <20040411021104.69181.qmail@web40904.mail.yahoo.com> When you bootup Fedora 2 for the first time (if your lucky) you are greeted with a nice pretty startup screen. You configure your options until you hit the Sound check portion to check if your sound works. The problem here is that we are now using ALSA and everything is muted by default. There is no way to get to a sound mixer in this screen to unmute it. Has anyone thought about this ? Things like this drive Mr. Average user or even new comers to Linux crazy.

Sorry, my typo - modversions.h of course. The mail prog on my test system is unconfigured yet :-) > Not in include/linux but in include/config . Thanks for the hint. Found it at the same place on x86_64. But the file is quite different from that of the 2.4 kernel in include/linux. It contains only one line, a undefine of a variable (in 2.4 there is a define and a list of module headers). May be the hint in the error message about a possible uncomplete configuration is plausible. Unfortunately I still don't know how to proceed.

Remove the XFree86 package: "rpm -e XFree86-Mesa-libGL", as the Mesa libGL will to be replaced by the ATI HW-based libGL.

Just one difference: FC1 was built with mkisofs1.14 and I was building with mkisofs2.01a24, which is currently included in FC2test2 Anyway, I thought there might be a bug in mkisofs1.14, so I just made another image with 1.14 and it also boots... If anyone has further ideas what to try, please let me know, but for now I'm really clueless on how to reproduce a non-bootable iso image (one which completely fails to boot, not like the checksum error as I encountered this morning) Cheers, Hannes.

Got the same error, and I do need reiserfs. Tried a kernel rebuild from kernel-source-2.6.5-1.315.

Unsurprisingly, still get the "mm/memory.c:102: bad pmd 0c4000e3" errors described in "kernel bug in .315" thread, but reiserfs now seems to be working again.

I hadn't wanted to make comments until I was fully up to date. I didn't have the problems some have noted with booting from disc 1. I noted no anomalies during boot. Apparently the updating of the policy has been fixed since I ended up with the right files. It was a bit disconcerting to see policy.15, policy.16, and policy.17. I thought there would only be one, the latest version. I saw that the default policy when installing was enforcing. My initial reaction is that permissive might be better until policy creation and file permission gets nailed down for the new system. I note there was not an explanation in the left-hand panel to guide which choice to make. When I first tried to log in as a normal user, I was denied. I got a message saying /home/tmolina did not exist. It did exist, and was mounted. The problem was probably because it was on an existing partition, mounted from another drive. Maybe this was because the filesystem it was on did not get labeled until later. I hope this common situation (filesystems mounted from other disks) gets addressed. I am running in permissive mode at the moment. I do have a couple of ongoing avc denied issues, which I will address in separate messages. Overall it looks good. I am quite interested in learning selinux, and how to decide and create policy. At some point I may be required to actually implement some of this at work. This will be good, working out the bugs in selinux.

Arnaldo, try the following: * download the rescuecd.iso (I just downloaded it aswell) * boot from this CD * let it search for fedora installations * enter the shell # chroot /mnt/sysimage/ # fixfiles relabel (this will fix the selinux flags on all files - takes some time!)

What > package provides it? I believe you should submit a bugzilla report on this. It is probably anaconda (the installer) or a %post script in some rpm that is doing it. However, I believe that this violates Fedora guidelines: http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/developers-guide/s1-rpm-guidelines.html (see number 7). Now guidelines are guidelines and not laws or cast in concrete.

In this particular case this was happenning with 'selinux=0' (too?). There were some problems in %post scripts, which are hopefuly gone in 1.10.2-5 packages, but this still should not cause such effects - I think. Removing leftovers explicitely, something like rpm -e policy-sources-1.9.2-10 does work but it is not a long term answer.

This gets the config of the running kernel, so you will get exactly the same options as the running kernel. I have found this to be a pretty reliable method of getting an 'compatible' kernel.

It probably is. You said "interface reports at 100MB, full-duplex". What do you mean precisely? Was this /sbin/mii-tool? IIRC, ethtool doesn't work with this card. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm From czar at czarc.net Sun Apr 11 21:31:07 2004 From: czar at czarc.net (Gene C.)

ALSA is split into a native ALSA driver device and an OSS/Free compatibility driver device (Open Sound System is the audio driver code in the 2.4 kernel series and earlier). ALSA's OSS drivers are included from /etc/modprobe.conf, too.

The clock-applet problem was fixed and the sound volume control and launchers seem to work properly. Overall! I think the current rawhide packages are in pretty good condition. I ran into no conflicts with upgrading 200 plus packages on the system. SELinux is a different matter though. I couldn't login in enforcing mode (Before applying updates). I switched to permissive mode and everything seems to be fairly normal, except for mail to system. I have 187 messages to root and most of them seem to be SELInux permission related.

Was wondering if upgrading your D-Link unit still looks like the right solution for you, even with ipv6 re-enabled. Any idea why XP was getting good results with the original d-link firmware while fc2 did not? I don't have a D-link router but a homebrew Bering-Leaf router (LRP) on a old PC. It contains a program called dnscache which I use as my dns server. It works a lot faster when ipv6 is disabled in fc2t2 and I might need to find out if it can be upgraded to handle the AAAA record better too, like possibly your d-link now does. Just thought I'd ask.

Incidentally do we have an upgrade path from i386 to AMD64? If you want to get the machine working in the near future then it would be easiest to upgrade to AMD64 from a i386 install. Also if it could be an option to rip a hard disk out of an i386 system and put it in an AMD64 system and just use yum to install the AMD64 stuff it would be really convenient. > > On Thu, 8 Apr 2004 17:40, "pismobum" wrote: > > > I attempted install of the AMD64 version and > > > the probe failed to recognize my video (nvidia GeForce4 4000) > > > and in the text setup as soon as I got to disk druid I was informed > > > that I did not have any hard drives. > > > > > > My hardware: > > > Brand new AMD 64 3000+ CPU > > > Brand new GigaByte K8n Pro MOBO > > > DDR330 512m RAM > > > older Ide hda 80G > > > new sata 150 120G > > > new ide hdb 133 160G -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From russell at coker.com.au Mon Apr 12 06:46:27 2004 From: russell at coker.com.au (Russell Coker) Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 16:46:27 +1000 Subject: comments from a late adopter In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <200404121646.27029.russell@coker.com.au> On Mon, 12 Apr 2004 10:45, Alexandre Oliva wrote: > On Apr 11, 2004, Gene Smith wrote: > > What does labeling a fs from another drive do when that fs is run with > > a non-selinux OS, e.g., rh 7.2? > > Nothing, I suppose.

There were several bugs in the early Ext2/3 XATTR code. One particularly nasty one was related to an XATTR on a symbolic link confusing the kernel code and triggering a kernel panic. SE Linux labels ALL active Inodes including sym-links, so the typical result of trying to boot an old kernel with a file system that had been used for SE Linux would be a kernel panic the first time a system boot script starting with #!/bin/sh was run... If you try sharing /home between an SE Linux installation and an installation with an old kernel then it can only be expected to work if you have no sym-links in /home. If you refrain from using KDE and GNOME then it might be possible to have no sym-links in /home. Generally if you have a recent kernel on the non-SE installation then things should be OK. I'm not sure how recent it has to be though, certainly a lot more recent than RH 7.2... -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From h.mayer at inode.at Mon Apr 12 07:12:05 2004 From: h.mayer at inode.at (Hannes Mayer) Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 09:12:05 +0200 Subject: KDE & /dev/dsp for Ernest In-Reply-To: <1081731920.2654.3.camel@matrix> References: <40772774.5050304@littlerichard.org> <40773BEE.3020900@quark.didntduck.org> <4077A599.8090001@inode.at> <20040410115041.66774ba6.ms-nospam-0306@arcor.de> <1081608750.2350.10.camel@matrix> <40781D08.50704@inode.at> <1081731920.2654.3.camel@matrix> Message-ID: <407A4145.6020906@inode.at> Ernest L.

I recognize disk activity pretty often when the system is idle. i.e. in KDE, just 1 terminal is opened and even if I do nothing with it, there is no minute without disk activity ... Same for GNOME or *even at the graphical login* !! My system (the test-box): 433MHz Celeron Mendocino 192MB RAM Memory 184MB use; Swap 9MB used Every minute or so there is disk activity for a few seconds. In the "System Monitor" in KDE I see increased CPU usage for "ksysguard" when the disk is on. Am I just spoiled to use a 1GB RAM machine for production or is this something unusual ?

The grub and intird image was alright. Is there an SELinux aware reiserfs module being created with a different name? (sereiserfs or similar named) I was confusing the vmware kernel installation problem with the native installation error with reiserfs. The vmware kernel error fails to update grub entries, make an intird image, instead of just issuing a warning about reiserfs.

SE Linux blocks access to /lib/libSegFault.so because there was a bug found in SE Linux related to that shared object.

The Fedora kernels often have newer versions of the SE Linux code than the kernel.org kernels. If you get the latest Fedora kernel then you have a version 17 policy, with a kernel.org 2.6.5 you get version 16. The latest Fedora tools for compiling policy etc support version 15, 16, and 17 (backwards compatibility with older Fedora kernels) so you shouldn't have any problems. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From akabi at speakeasy.net Mon Apr 12 12:25:39 2004 From: akabi at speakeasy.net (ne...)

Policy V15 is the basic stuff that is being used at the moment. V16 is that plus policy booleans which are not being seriously used yet (we have one for ping as a demo). V17 is V16 plus IPv6 support. For most people the differences between those policy versions won't matter much as booleans and IPv6 aren't getting used much at the moment.

PDF is meant for printing. Or do I misunderstand you? Do you > want to read it on the screen? As I understand his problem, the print is too small. I'm not aware of anyway to preserve the look and feel of PDF while changing the fonts, especially if the desire is for larger bolded fonts preferred by people who have difficulty reading standard print. I think the generic issue here needs better solutions--but that's a discussion for another day. Options at the moment are the pdftotext suggested below--then read or print in your favorite font. Or, perhaps the limited magnifier available on the desktop might help. If you have a dual frame buffer card you can also use the magnifier that is part of the Gnopernicus screen reader--but that does require the dual frame buffer hardware because of how X works historically. Of course, I should ask whether you can use HTML documents rather than PDF. Certainly these are available on LDP and are probably a better chopice if you need to enlarge and/or change the font face either for on screen viewing or for printing. > > Try: pdftotext [pdf file] [text file] > > ...it won't look very pretty, but you'll be able to read it in any text > editor/viewer. > -- > Ben Steeves _ bcs at metacon.ca > The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves at unb.ca > against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 > http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves > > > -- > fedora-test-list mailing list > fedora-test-list at redhat.com > To unsubscribe: > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 From rgouveia at fc.up.pt Mon Apr 12 18:40:15 2004 From: rgouveia at fc.up.pt (Rui Gouveia) Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 19:40:15 +0100 Subject: Strange pachage selection in "Sound and Video" group Message-ID: <1081795214.2113.27.camel@LabCCW1> Hi, Can anybody tell me if this package selection is correct?

PDF is layout-oriented. It attempts to preserve the look and feel of the document in question as "published" by the author. Information is often best utilized in a data-oriented standard, such as HTML[*]. With an HTML document, you get hyperlinks, bookmarks (internal hyperlinking), headers, lists, etc (all things you get in PDF), but the layout is (optionally) up to the user. Changing, for example, the font size and column size of an HTML document is trivial, whereas changing those variables on a PDF is next to impossible. [*] OK, HTML isn't the best example, since web designers use it to for both document description and layout, but in it's "pure form" it makes a usable document description language. That's why I said "optionally" above. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs at metacon.ca The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves at unb.ca against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves From notting at redhat.com Mon Apr 12 20:01:20 2004 From: notting at redhat.com (Bill Nottingham) Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 16:01:20 -0400 Subject: Sound check on first boot ...will never work if ALSA is muted!

There is a situation where sendmail is bypassed by fetchmail and 'procmail' or another MDA is used to deliver mail into the spool. It should be visible with fetchmail -v (it was for me when something was broken a year or so ago). I believe, there is a common degenerate case where sendmail is not active or broken and procmail is invoked. (ensures that there is no open relay ... ). I tried but cannot quickly duplicate this... Perhaps this needs a multidrop multi user situation to cause issues since I can read and write my own spool file. >From the fetchmail man page. If no port 25 listener is available, but your fetchmail configuration was told about a reliable local MDA, it will use that MDA for local delivery instead. At build time, fetchmail normally looks for exe- cutable procmail(1) and sendmail(1) binaries. I suspect lots of folks with limited ISP services will see this. i.e. no personal domain, DHCP, external mail drop and delivery. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

It is set to SELINUX=permissive. It asks for policy for both root and a regular user. It locks up at a blank screen in graphics mode. The computer does not respond to any keyboard entries and has to be hard reset. With the earlier kernel that I am running. kernel-2.6.4-1.298 does not ask me for policy and I can log in and am not asked for an SELinux profile on either my root or regular user account. I don't know if SELInux is causing X to hardlock on loading or if there is something wrong within the kernel build for the kernel-2.6.5-1.315 version. It is hosed badly in my environment. Since I had to do a boot after a hard reset. I scanned the filesystems and reiserfs was checked for it's journal. It is not however working after the computer boots up. Another strike against the configuration of this kernel version.

That's a bug in your version of Mozilla. The x-remote code was fixed only a few weeks ago, so updating to Mozilla 1.7b probably won't help. Try a Mozilla nightly build instead. Alternatively, you could try Firefox and Thunderbird. The RPMs from http://fedora.us include these x-remote fixes. David.

I am not reallly having problems booting on a dual (actually multi) boot system which includes a Win2k partition. However, I did have problems with parted during the install -- please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113201 THe interesting thing is that there is an identical drive as hdb and parted, etc. have no problems with that drive.

(it really is a quad boot system) My box has two drives that are both set up to dual boot. I have winXP and RH9 on hda and wixXP and FC 1.91 on hdc (I change the bios boot order to switch drives for booting) The FC 1.91 install was done by installing FC 1 and yum updating the rest to current /develpment. This info may not be as helpful as if I had installed FC 2 test 2 but if may be useful for reference since I can boot into any of the 4 installed systems. I have grub in both MBR but only boot into the 2 systems on the drive I am booting from. hope this helps, Richard Hally here is the output from parted print: First from RH9; [root at old1 richard]# /sbin/parted /dev/hda print Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-12419.056 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 4996.779 primary fat32 boot 2 4996.780 5098.754 primary ext3 3 5098.755 12229.167 primary ext3 4 12229.167 12417.429 extended lba 5 12229.198 12417.429 logical linux-swap Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

If you built a native log4j you'd have to either rebuild commmons-logging or provide the extra classes somewhere else. The ultimate solution would be to have a commmons-logging-log4j subpackage with them in, so you could install log4j only if required. Not sure how possible this is though...

It seems that in such a case there is no possibility to install FC2. For example, I am using P4 1GB DDR RAM, 3 HD: 40+40+80 GB, the first is for Win XP vfat, second and third for redhat-9 ext3, there is TEAC CD-RW ATAPI/IDE drive and Intel bios: PT84510A.86.A0012.P01. The system don't boot from CDROM, Until noe I was installing by bootdisk.img. I hope that in the final release of FC2 users with 'no-install' CD-RW can update to new FC2, if not, I hope that you suggest how to make my system 'CD-bootable". That would help my graduate students, too, some of them are using PC with 'no-install' CD-RW.

Which seemed to be a problem with the driver for the CDROM drive rather than the hard drive by the way.

Now that I've played with the issue some and feel I have a better understanding, I thought I'd try again: FC2 kernels, since the early days of test1, have been compiled to use the "4KSTACKS" patch on i386 which limits kernel stacks to a single page. This feature is incompatible with some proprietary kernel modules, most notably the NVidia (and, I am told but have not verified, ATI) graphics drivers. Users of these modules have been forced to recompile their kernels after modifying the CONFIG_4KSTACKS setting. But recent 2.6.5-x kernels have removed even that option, making it *impossible* for NVidia users to generate a working system from the kernel-source package. Note that the official 2.6.5 kernel doesn't have the small stack feature at all, and works fine. The kernel SRPM adds a patch ("mc1") which includes the 4KSTACKS features, and then another ("nostack") which inexplicably *removes* the configurability of the feature, thus hard-wiring (!) the kernel source to use 4K stacks. So basically: Is this intentional? Why? I clearly understand (please, no flames on this point) that neither Red Hat nor the Fedora project are required to support proprietary software. But this removal of the configuration setting is *gratuitous* incompatibility. What was the purpose? Do you really intend to ship such a kernel in the official release? Have you at least pinged NVidia (and ATI, if necessary) to see if they're willing or able to fix the issue prior to the FC2 release? Honestly, shipping a (non-standard!) kernel feature which disallows accelerated 3D for a large fraction of users is going to be a disaster. I work on the FlightGear project, and forcing our linux users to download and compile their own kernel from kernel.org is just not an option; they'll just get pushed off to other distributions.

(Possibly by 2.6.6 final.) I think it would be nice that, in the future, if these sort of options are being mainlined, that the Fedora kernels should retain them as options (enabled/disabled as appropriate for their future status) until such time as they do become mainlined. It would prevent this kind of unnecessary angst. NVidia is, of course, at fault here by not a) releasing their drivers as source and b) not fixing this problem sooner. But just 'cos NVidia is dragging their heels is no reason to penalize their users AND hurt the testing process by forcing those users to compile their own kernels (thereby invalidating their systems for kernel testing). -- Ben Steeves _ bcs at metacon.ca The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves at unb.ca against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves From geoff at cdepot.net Tue Apr 13 19:20:26 2004 From: geoff at cdepot.net (Geoffrey Leach) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 19:20:26 +0000 Subject: FC2T2 install hangs at 'loading ucb-storage device' Message-ID: <1081884026l.669l.0l@mtranch> The mainboard in question is an AccelerTech ATO2082-A.

The supplied kernel *wouldn't* be testing it (re-read the part above in parenthesis). But it also wouldn't freeze out people who *need* the options to use their machines. I should think that a kernel with the 4KSTACKS option turned off but built from the Fedora kernel package would be a more valid test kernel (even if it's not a supplied kernel) than one built directly from the stock kernel source (which is what people need to do now to get past the unnecessary and artificial limitation imposed by the Fedora kernel team). > If it is going away in the mainline it doesn't make much sense to be doing > testing on it.

Its not hurting the testing process at all. Its a matter of priorities for the developers. The 4kstacks option NEEDS testing, its a trade-off. nvidia breakage has happened before in rhl betas and it will happen again. Since the kernel developers can't fix the nvidia driver, its a trade-off in terms of other development priorities and continued nvidia compatibility. It makes absolutely no sense to continue to hold back on performance enhancing kernel features because nvidia's kernel code is buggy. It sucks, but thats the reality. Kernel development must move forward, if the smart people think 4kstacks is worth turning on and worth testing for its own particular benefits..then its worth testing. We can't hold up progress because nvidia's driver is buggy and nvidia isn't moving as fast as kernel development. I think testers who are requesting this kernel patch be reverted need to understand the point of signing up and using a test release. It is NOT to have a fully functional and stable system. The point is to test the features the developers think need testing. Downgrading kernel enhancements becuase of a buggy closed source driver...sort of defeats the point. Testers should expect to install a test release and watch it instantly meltdown their computer, and should consider anything better than that a blessing. Test releases eat babies. The nvidia driver, is just one of the many juicy suculant babies the test process will devour. This and worse is to be expected. And i think testers new to the testing process with Fedora Core who have not been a part of several previous rhl betas need to understand that the nvidia driver has in the past had problems on rhl beta releases because of new kernel changes, this is not something out of the blue new. I absolutely expect the nvidia driver to break at some point in every testing phase. And nvidia has in the past specifically said..they do not track beta distros. Nvidia will fix this on their own schedule, which if the rhl history is to be a guide, is about 3 weeks after fc2 is released. It sucks...its life..and its completely appropriate for fedora core, which has an objective of developing an open source OS. Holding back on ANY useful kernel level feature becuase a closed source add-on kernel driver drags its feet is just not appropriate. Especially if you consider that the move to 2.6 kernel from a 2.4 kernel results in hardware support regressions for hardware that was supported with open source drivers under 2.4. If we can't even prevent open source hardware regressions...even pretending to worry about closed source hardware drivers is absurd. -jef"owns nothing but nvidia hardware in his modern desktops...and has no problem with losing nvidia driver support during a testing release"spaleta From zachw at termdex.com Tue Apr 13 20:14:49 2004 From: zachw at termdex.com (Zach Wilkinson) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 16:14:49 -0400 Subject: no hfsutils in developemnt/ppc Message-ID: <007901c42193$fdaa6bd0$6601a8c0@termdex.local> ybin of yaboot needs hfsutils, but this package is not in PPC RPMS directory.

Forget about the end user! They are just the people that run this damn software! I guess if your target user base is corporate environments then who cares about 3d graphics. I obviously thought wrongly as I assumed that Fedora was the version people run on their desktop. I dont care if nVidia or Fedora are at fault here - I just believe that fedora should be more flexible with its stance on these types of issues. The last thing you need is a noob to try Fedora, not get 3d working, be told "too bad", have to learn to recompile kernels etc. Way to make people not use your software!!! I am all for going forward & development etc but their has to be some consideration given to what people have that is either legacy, non-standard or proprietry. ..Or even some notification that "Feature xxxx may break as a result of this change".

Forget about the end user! They > are just the people that run this damn software! This is a test release. Period. Yes, forget about the end user, because this is a test release. nVidia's drivers are a black box. There is no way to tell if they are broken because of a change that a developer made or a wrong assumption nVidia made. Using developer time to probe a black box with a stick is a waste of developer time.

You contradict yourself. What you are really saying "you can go forward, but only as far as nVidia will let you". Nope, doesn't work that way. Should AMD no have released the AMD64 because nVidia didn't have a display driver for it? > ..Or even some notification that "Feature xxxx may break as a result of > this change". nVidia support isn't a feature of Fedora. Fedora support is a feature (or in the case of test releases, not a feature) of nVidia's driver. -- William Hooper From netdemonz at yahoo.com Tue Apr 13 21:08:33 2004 From: netdemonz at yahoo.com (Brian Bober) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 14:08:33 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Applause.

SElinux makes my head spin also, so I'm probably not very helpful here as far as your primary question below. The learning curve for non-SElinux users is going to be very steep with FC2, and would seem to be a major barrier to adoption without some much better docs and an install-time option to turn it off.

Just wondering where the broken reiserfs (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120589) stands on the priority list for kinks, and if the issues with reiserfs not supporting selinux extended attributes are going to be addressed in a future reiserfs upgrade. I have a LOT of data on reiserfs partitions that is not going to be easy to move, but if it is a dead end, I'd better plan to do just that.

These two showstopper bugs need to be fixed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118941 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116511 I tried doing fresh installs off today's x86-64 devel tree and they're still there. My notebook's HD has a NTFS partition that triggers the first bug and my desktop has a HD dedicated to Linux (no NTFS) that hits the second bug. Installing with selinux disabled had no effect on the second bug. I didn't try acpi=off but it had no effect the last time I tried it. I assume, but did not try, that a FC1 install can be upgraded to devel. Both installs were via NFS (local mirror). Anyone smarter than me who can spare the time and is looking for bugs to target should take a stab at these.

As I understand it, they can be enabled two ways: 1) By setting the ACL mount option in /etc/fstab or 2) Set the ACL flag on the filesystem with tune2fs. I would suggest that option two is more graceful as it doesn't change the fstab settings. The reason why I ask this is for "out of the box" usability. You don't see people installing Win2K or higher and having to make one of the first post-installation tasks they do is enable extended ACL's. ...So why should we??? This would be really handy for anyone who is setting up a NFS or CIFS fileserver. Your thoughts/comments on this is appreciated.

The nvidia people have been given fair warning. I was "harassing" them on their bulletin board: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 UNTIL they started getting very arrogant and basically stating that you were lucky with what you got. And they did not work with that team until AFTER the release (whereas they probably work with microsoft during beta -- making sure their drivers are fine when the distribution is released). FYI - this was a snippit from the 2.6.5-bk1 changelog and from what I can figure out -- 8K stacks are DISAPPEARING completely -- it is just that Fedora Core 2 is bleeding edge with beta testing it. (which is what I prefer) Everyone here should be signing up for there bulletin board and "harassing" them until they finally "release a beta" to work with 4K stacks :p ---------------- Below is a snippit from kernel.org's changelong for the latest 2.6.5-? submitted changes.... ChangeSet at 1.1713.18.181, 2004-04-12 13:18:43-07:00, .... at osdl.org [PATCH] ia32: 4Kb stacks (and irqstacks) patch .... At present 4k stacks are selectable in config. When the feature has settled in we should remove the 8k option. This will break the nvidia modules. But Fedora uses 4k stacks so a new nvidia driver is expected soon. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Handling of these avc error probably needs to be handles by some automated feedback, such as bug-buddy. These outputs could be emailed to the developers and they could run the proper processes on reciept. I'd like to help, but my head spins and the frustration level of massive failure for "used to work alright" processes. If the bug-buddy idea would overload mail servers.Maybe a cron job set to parse repeated errors locally and to mail the reports periodically might work to reduce all of the policy related security linux errors.

Using developer > time to probe a black box with a stick is a waste of developer time. And I was _so_ careful to ask that no one flame over this issue. :) Just to be clear: no one asked that the patch be reverted. No one asked that NVidia drivers be supported. No one asked for end user support for a test release. And most *certainly* no one asked for Red Hat to to audit NVidia's drivers for stack overflows. What *I* asked was for someone to explain the reasoning behind the current FC2 kernel configuration, which is different from the official 2.6.5 kernel in that it has this feature hard wired into the source. The answer (perhaps delivered with more bile than necessary, but nonetheless helpful) is that Linus/Andrew et. al. intend that the 4KSTACKS feature go into the mainline in the near term, perhaps with the 2.6.6 kernel. So the incompatibility in the Fedora kernel isn't gratuitous, but simply an "early access" breakage that NVidia would have had to deal with eventually in any case. Mind you, I still think that's a poor idea; especially if the feature gets pushed back to the 2.6.7-8 time frame and Fedora ends up stuck with a "3D-incompatible" kernel for ~4 months until FC3 comes out. Other distributions shipping less modified 2.6.5 kernels are not going to have this problem, placing FC2 at a competitive disadvantage. I'm happy to accept this issue as-is and compile my own kernels because I like Fedora for many other reasons. But quite honestly, I can't see myself recommending it to novice FlightGear users until NVidia gets their drivers patched. Pointing fingers at the prioprietary vendors may very well be justified, but when the "official" kernel still works fine out of the box, the argument sounds kind of empty.

That's the difference between testing what Fedora plans to ship and just leaving a feature in to help binary driver makers. There must be an advantage to 4K stacks, so why should Fedora users have to suffer because it will make more work for binary driver makers? Until ATI, nVidia, etc. choose to open their drivers they will break. This is not a new issue, and it won't go away. -- William Hooper From P.R.Schaffner at IEEE.org Wed Apr 14 00:05:26 2004 From: P.R.Schaffner at IEEE.org (Phil Schaffner) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 20:05:26 -0400 Subject: FC2-T2 module reiserfs.ko good in kernel 2.6.3-X, 2.6.4-X both broken in 2.6.5-X In-Reply-To: <20040413223601.99960.qmail@web13009.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20040413223601.99960.qmail@web13009.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <1081901125.24936.5.camel@tabb1.tabb> On Tue, 2004-04-13 at 15:36 -0700, Jesus D wrote: > Hi: > > Iam update the FC1 at FC2-Test2 with my partitions > in reiserfs, an working good with this kernel: > > 2.6.3-X from Repository Rawhide module reiserfs OK > 2.6.4-X is the same repository module reiserfs OK > > When update at > > 2.6.5-X ( 308, 309, 315 and 319 ) module reiserfs > broken > > WARNING: > /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.319/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko > needs unknown symbol sleep_on > > Both compile the kernel tree > > 2.6.5 kernel.org tree module reiserfs OK > > What is the diferences? > Please helpme?, Any idea? Recent test2 kernels have a broken reiserfs.

I'm sorry - no-one says nVidia or ATI or anyone else *have* to do anything. If I've spent my hard-earned development dollars on a driver that - admitedly being closed source - actually WORKS, and the kernel goes and changes such a fundamental thing as to completely break things, with absolutely no way to config-option things to a working state again, then I'm affraid I would say "stuff you too". What motivation is there for nVidia to go BACK to the drawing board and re-do all their drivers? I just think it's a bit rude to go breaking compatibility, with NO OPTION to back out of the compatibility change, and then have the attitude of "well, too bad. if you wanna run with working 3D drivers, go use Windows".

The redhat folks usually seem much more level-headed. Don't get ahead of yourself... community testers are important....but too many cooks spoil the soup..and its important for testers to come into the testing process with some perspective and the correct expectations for the experience to be valuable. It is absolutely wrong to expect a piece of hardware or a specific feature to be working during the testing process. It's always desirable, but the realities are there are a number of competing interests that the developers have to work with, and those interest have to be prioritized. Asking the developers to downgrade a feature because another buggy piece of software isn't working right is absolutely the wrong solution. The right solution is fixing bugs and sadly with the nvidia driver its very difficult for anyone in the community to step up and contribute to fixing the nvidia code associated with the driver. Everyone's hands are tied in this specific case, but its certaintly not my place as a tester to tie the developers hands even further on developement because we as a community do not have the access to the nvidia source code. There other examples where community people are contributing code, and helping out to fix the problems associated with the ongoing forward progress with things like the kernel. The solution is not to downgrade, the solution is to fix the bugs. 4kstack is not a bug...its a feature. It exposes other bugs in other code. The other code needs to be fixed. There are another of small and large issues associated with development decisions with regard to the kernel 2.6 that require other code to be fixed or written from scratch...synaptics touchpads, the amd64 kernel port....these are non-trivial problems that people in the community are actively contributing to to try to solve. The solution is to fix the bugs, not to dowgrade features to work around buggy code. As much as everyone really really wants to have working 3d support, the harsh reality is very few people in the community have the access and the experience to do anything proactive to solve the problem. It sucks, we just have to wait for nvidia to make the code changes. Community testers are valuable for feedback, but testers need to come into the process with the understanding that they are not setting priorities directly and the need to be okay with the fact that they are not setting development priorities. And specifically with regard to nvidia, there is a history here, the nvidia driver has broken with kernel changes in rhl betas and it will continue to break in fedora test releases. -jef"second and final post in this thread, to avoid a long pointless flamewar"spaleta From P.R.Schaffner at IEEE.org Wed Apr 14 02:01:05 2004 From: P.R.Schaffner at IEEE.org (Phil Schaffner) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 22:01:05 -0400 Subject: Fix for 'no driver found' problem with Kickstart?

Heck, didn't someone post recently about an SELinux issue with them, too (granted that isn't an example of an un-fundamental thing)? Development continues. If everyone wanted nVidia to be happy we would still be on the very first kernel they released drivers for. > What motivation is there for > nVidia to go BACK to the drawing board and re-do all their drivers?

If you *need* working 3D drivers, I suggest you use a distro that nVidia supports. nVidia doesn't support test releases, and test releases will not hold back development to keep nVidia drivers happen. History has proven that once FC2 goes gold that nVidia will start working on drivers. Maybe they work on them before hand, but (being just as much a black box as a company as their drivers are) they don't release them. It's worked so far. Just like some of the complaints about "test releases aren't stable enough" I think it is just showing that a segment of the community hasn't had experience with test distro releases in the past. -- William Hooper From whooperhsd3 at earthlink.net Wed Apr 14 02:08:15 2004 From: whooperhsd3 at earthlink.net (William Hooper) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 22:08:15 -0400 (EDT) Subject: 4KSTACKS again In-Reply-To: <1081903244.18394.5.camel@ripley> References: <407C1EFD.5090909@plausible.org> <1081880803.24098.21.camel@delerium.codemonkey.org.uk> <407C3872.2010409@didntduck.org> <20040413190145.GF6051@redhat.com> <1081883280.998.2.camel@zephyr.its.unb.ca> <4823.12.29.16.103.1081884241.squirrel@12.29.16.103> <1081884827.998.17.camel@zephyr.its.unb.ca> <3302.12.29.16.103.1081885605.squirrel@12.29.16.103> <1081903244.18394.5.camel@ripley> Message-ID: <64928.205.240.37.232.1081908495.squirrel@205.240.37.232> Ben Steeves said: > On Tue, 2004-04-13 at 16:46, William Hooper wrote: > >> > I'm not arguing that.

This is a test release and development tree, leading up to a release in a month or two (I don't remember the schedule off the top of my head). The idea of a test release is to test as much as possible of what the final release will look like. Now, it looks like in a month or two, this option will be in the "mainline" kernel (and turned on by default). Would you rather: a) the FC test releases wait until this change occurs in the mainline kernel and _then_ test it (maybe only a week before the FC2 release)? b) wait until mainline makes the change and then decide it is too close to FC2 release to make such a change, and have to patch it back out of kernels for Fedora (i.e. making FC kernels more different from the kernel.org source)? These are the only two real options. The whole idea of testing is to test things and find bugs before release. Since it looks like 4K stacks will be in the kernel before FC2 release, they need to be tested _now_. -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves; you only have to read Linus' posts on linux-kernel to see that binary-only module compatibility is _not_ to be expected between any two kernels (even the same release with different options, compilers, etc.). It has been this way since loadable kernel modules were introduced. nVidia (and ATI and ...) may have good business reasons for making that choice, but it is a choice that nobody forced them to make.

What motivation is there for > nVidia to go BACK to the drawing board and re-do all their drivers? They provided, although in some part helped by Zander (www.minion.de), working 2.6 support when the time came. It is in their best interests to continue the development -- I am fully confident that they will provide support for major changes in the kernel when the time comes.. but it would be foolish to expect them to have made this change prior to the kernel being released with the change (or too quickly afterward). > I just think it's a bit rude to go breaking compatibility, with NO > OPTION to back out of the compatibility change, and then have the attitude > of "well, too bad. if you wanna run with working 3D drivers, go use > Windows". Noone suggested that you use Windows as a solution to this simple problem, and jumping to that conclusion (although probably used for exaggeration...) indicates that you should not be involved in the testing process. The simple solution is to use the kernel that works when 3D is required, until the driver is fixed to work with the new kernel technology. This is precisely what was required during the entire kernel 2.5.x development cycle and early into 2.6.x (run 2.4, use 3D, test 2.5.x, go back to 2.4 when required). This entire argument over whether or not the downstream kernel maintainers should have left the OPTION rather than adopt it 2 or 3 weeks early is ridiculous. This short timeframe does nothing to fix the real problem, that you will not be able to use the driver when the upstream kernel merges the stack change. Rather than belabor this point, testers should simply remain on the last kernel to work until the driver is fixed -- and get back to testing non-kernel related issues. Obviously those who do this can no longer test the latest kernel in combination with the driver.. but they can still test the kernel, then use the old one for their 3D acceleration needs. I played Americas Army Ops for hours this afternoon on my test system, using the nVIDIA driver. It comes down to this: if you cannot live without the 'closed source' drivers for just long enough to test the new kernel, then you are not testing.. you are using. nVIDIA has nearly a whole month left to fix this problem before FC2 is released... and it is actually a bit rude to expect the driver to work by then. Give the engineers over at nVIDIA some slack, the drivers work very well on a great number of linux systems with a great number of differences. (personally, I think open sourced they would work better, but not our decision to make) And lets give the Red Hat engineers equal slack, the kernel is changing... they change with it because that is ultimately what this project is about (if in doubt, read up at www.fedora.redhat.com). -- Andrew Farris, CPE senior (California Polytechnic University, SLO) fedora at andrewfarris.com :: lmorgul on freenode "The only thing neccessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

There are probably certain technologies that nVidia and ATI (An other graphics device manufacturors) use under licence. Thus to disclose their source may violate the licence under which they themeselves are given permission to use the technologies.

Will someone in this thread please respond to the actual question being asked instead of responding to the fact that the question was asked. The questioner asked why was a feature taken out of the build process, not why was a feature taken out of the precompiled kernel. It would seem to me that this was a lot of work on the part of Redhat for what is supposedly going to happen in the Vanilla kernel anyway. Hence, I conclude that Redhat had a compelling reason to use its development resources to make this change. What is that reason? This question becomes stronger when we hear in this mailing list that the policy of Fedora is to use unmodified upstream contributions whenever possible. We are told Nautilus and ALSA should not be modified by Fedora just because they chose options that Fedora users find inconvenient. Before I get flamed also, I want to give an example of what I would consider a legitimate answer. If Redhat is not really working off of the official kernel but is working off of the development kernel and that kernel already has the 4kSTACKS option in its current Fedora form then this is consistent with Fedora's objectives.

Description : The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo. The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are documented in the package. Get ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are so inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before running the scripts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update has improvements in the handling of multibyte locales, specifically it should show the startup tips now with both Unicode and non-Unicode Japanese (and possibly other Asian) locales. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Apr 08 2004 Nils Philippsen - fix Japanese tips on UTF-8 locale (#98520) - use %patch ... -b ... always --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/ 0033019f42965dd377ac099aa2804644 SRPMS/gimp-1.2.5-2.src.rpm c003de0ec2f87cbaca27e898838ec09d i386/gimp-1.2.5-2.i386.rpm c1a481a290b983792500ce3d8639c282 i386/gimp-devel-1.2.5-2.i386.rpm 2449d9aa9fbd6f6f6951e192794bf446 i386/gimp-perl-1.2.5-2.i386.rpm e30672f5d77d72ff8036e5cf239f8376 x86_64/gimp-1.2.5-2.x86_64.rpm d44cb6620c3845f2265830ed88fa3159 x86_64/gimp-devel-1.2.5-2.x86_64.rpm 2721c8aaba3bce73721500a86cdbe113 x86_64/gimp-perl-1.2.5-2.x86_64.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.

Jim ---------------------------------- Since SELinux is so dependent on proper permissions on the system and effects a lot of factors. I was thinking that there could be some addition to logwatch to parse repeated avc errors and send the outputs to developers periodically. This is a job that the developers know what errors are valid for aiding their forward refinements to the security Linux concept. Automated reporting sounds like the most productive way to accomplish this error tracking. Hopefully, this automatic logging and informing developers can be used for the early stages of development, then slacked off after refinements are successfully implemented and errors with SELinux are very few.

I'm sorry, I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall here. No one has answered my actual question yet, which is: what's the difference between providing the XXXXXXXX compile option and supplying a kernel with it turned ON, and enabling XXXXXXXX in the kernel without a compile option? Wouldn't the resulting kernel be -- for all intents and purposes -- the same, while providing people who depend on a particular compile option the ability to compile kernels from the Fedora kernel package? Wouldn't that make everyone reasonably happy? I used XXXXXXXX instead of 4KSTACKS 'cos I think this is a relevant question for any compile option that suddenly goes away.

Having AVC messages on their own often does not help in solving problems. We also need to know whether the program continues to work in spite of not being granted access (IE whether it's something the program really needs). We also need to know what the user is trying to do (consider the example of procmail and the Sendmail mqueue directory).

I am also aware of the default volume setting problem and have run gnome-volume-control to set anything that looked like it controlled volume for something to max. When I run system-config-soundcard it goes through the motions but no sound is generated. I also have FC1 installed on this hardware and sound works fine on it so I know the hardware, speakers, and wiring is OK.

Wouldn't that make everyone reasonably happy? Did you read the messages in this thread? It was stated that this option is going into the mainline kernel, and that it will probably be the default, and probably (maybe after a release or two) go away as an option. Fedora is simply jumping the gun a little because of test schedules. If you don't like that the option is going in the mainline kernel and may soon go away as a user-selectable option, this is not the place to complain. Try the linux-kernel list. The kernel developers only have X hours to work in a day, and if they choose to reduce the number of user-selectable options to reduce the number of variations in kernels when someone reports a problem, that is their choice. -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

It has been stated here before, and I'll state it again. Running a binary only black box kernel module of any kind automatically invalidates your system for Fedora kernel testing. This is not new. I fully intend to try out the Linuxant WLN driverloader with the IPW2100 drivers; when I do, I'll have to accept any kernel related problems I find. The same thing is true with WMware, most linmodem drivers, etc. Any binary only driver during testing is pretty much verboten and voids your bug report against the kernel. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu From mutk at iprimus.com.au Wed Apr 14 14:00:24 2004 From: mutk at iprimus.com.au (Michael Kearey) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 00:00:24 +1000 Subject: Re; 4KSTACKS again.

I think one thing you might have missed is that Red Hat employs several mainline kernel developers. Possibly they test out features/misfeatures (depending upon your POV) in the Fedora test line before putting them in mainline? Since the patch in question appears to be a nonoptional one, it's probably the same patch as will get applied to the mainline source; why bother to test two patch sets? Read the kernel 'maintainers' file and see who Dave Jones and the rest @redhat.com are in the mainline development team.

Fedora is simply jumping the gun > a little because of test schedules. I could accept RedHat incorporating options into the mainline early if they were internally testing kernels with and without the option enabled as another poster suggested they may do. If they do, I question why they would bother, if they know the option is going to mainlined anyway. I just question the wisdom of jumping the gun. OTOH, if they hadn't jumped the gun, and provided the option, the nVidia users might quietly be compiling their own kernels and not complaining, and the traffic on this list would be reduced. There wouldn't be any more testing of the option, though, as they'd be compiling their own kernels from the kernel source rather than the Fedora package. > If you don't like that the option is going in the mainline kernel and > may soon go away as a user-selectable option, this is not the place to > complain. No where did I even suggest that I like or dislike that. Actually, I did mention that I could care less, I think. If the option is going to to be mainlined -- fine -- set the option as it will be mainlined in the default kernel and it will get tested. But why remove the build option altogether? That seems gratuitous and unnecessary. That's the only question I have, and it remains mostly unanswered. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs at metacon.ca The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves at unb.ca against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves From serquicia at argentina.com Wed Apr 14 14:22:33 2004 From: serquicia at argentina.com (Santiago Erquicia) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 09:22:33 -0500 Subject: XKB Error with latest update Message-ID: <1081952552.2365.3.camel@localhost.localdomain> I made my daily yum update today (including the xorg*) and when I restarted a window showing the following message appeared: Error activating XKB configuration.

Can anyone give me a hint so I can bugzilla it? I don't use gnome, but when faced with similar delays opening a browser on an FC1 machine I installed for a friend, tcpdump monitoring of in that case ppp0 (eth0 maybe for you) reminded me very quickly I had left my local nameserver's IP address in /etc/resolv.conf as the primary nameserver for his dialup setup, which was going out to his ISP making DNS queries to 192.168.0.1 ;-) Have a peep at the network traffic during this delay on another virtual terminal using tcpdump in case that can shed some light. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....

As I said, the schedule of the FC2 release and the timing of the expected inclusion in the mainline kernel dictated that Fedora go ahead and push this change. If major change ABC will be in the mainline kernel released on June 1, and FC2 is going to be released on June 2 (just picking dates here), FC2 should probably go ahead and include change ABC. For FC2 to include change ABC, it needs to be tested, so the FC2 test releases need to include change ABC as soon as possible to allow for maximum testing time. > No where did I even suggest that I like or dislike that.

The kernel developers try to reduce configure options where possible, because the more options, the more ways the kernel can break (which also means the more questions have to be answered before meaningful debugging can take place). If change ABC make the kernel run better (for some definition of "better"), then just make change ABC. Don't make it a configure option, just make the change to the code. This also leads to simpler code, as there are fewer conditional lines of code. -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Yes, problem with accessing "/dev/mem" The problem may be policy related but it is caused by something new that the updated xorg-x11 packages do.

Harris) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 12:51:42 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Xorg X11R6.7.0 in tree - renaming of X server, config file, and log file Message-ID: At the end of last week, I finished getting the initial rpm packaging of X11R6.7.0 together, and fixing up things due to upstream trademark changes and whatnot, but wanted to wait until early this week to drop the changes in rawhide, so that there wasn't any massive breakage over the weekend. Now that the long weekend is over, I've dropped 6.7.0 into rawhide. The noteable changes are: - The X server is now /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg, and no longer named "XFree86" - The X server log file is now /var/log/Xorg.$DISPLAY.log, so when attaching log files to bug reports, be sure to attach the correct log, as you'll likely have old XFree86 logs around - The X server config file is now /etc/X11/xorg.conf (although if that does not exist, the X server will look for XF86Config, which should work, but should be renamed to xorg.conf ASAP). Be sure to attach the proper config file to any Xorg X11 bug reports. If unsure what config file is being used, look at the X server log (and make sure it's the right log), as it tells which config file is in use. There are some other internal changes which occured as part of the mass s/XFree86/Xorg/ upstream renaming and trademark replacement process, however those should be opaque changes for non-developers for the most part. Due to the above renaming changes, any other software which needs to know the name of the X server binary, config file, or log file, will need to be updated to handle the new Xorg X11 filenames as per above. This includes system-config-display (which Brent has updated already internally), anaconda (which Jeremy Katz has updated), and probably system-config-mouse, system-config-keyboard, and other packages as well. Any rpm package which has hard coded dependancies on the existance of the XFree86 X server binary or config file's existance or ownership by some package will break. For packages in the distribution, this is an easy fix, and affects only a small number of packages. For external rpm packages, the *only* way to fix this, is to fix the package to not hard code a requirement on a specific X server binary name (which is kindof insane, unless it is an X server config program or something similar). So if you upgrade to xorg-x11-6.7.0 and find that rpm/apt/yum/up2date/whatever complains that some package requires /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 - if that package is part of the OS, such as system-config-display, update it. If it is a 3rd party package, uninstall it and file a bug report to the upstream maintainer to not hard code bogus filename dependancies on a specific X server implementation. ;o) I do not expect we'll see very many problems arise, but please report bugs in bugzilla for any packages that are part of the OS which you find broken due to the renaming.

The noteable changes are: Mike, can I assume that these name changes such as /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/xorg.conf are consitent with what other distribution switching from XFree86 to xorg-x11?

I have an "everything install" system that I just updated to xorg-x11-6.7.0 (plus s-c-d) and there were not complaints from up2date so the Fedora Core appears to be clean. However, when I tried booting, I got a X startup error that it could not access /dev/mem. I then installed the previous versions of the packages and everything worked again. Since my config and other files were not renamed, is that the problem or is it something else that Dan Walsh is looking into. I have not submitted a bugzilla report since Dan seemed to be aware of the problem and was working on it. -- Gene From tmcgaha1 at comcast.net Wed Apr 14 18:05:12 2004 From: tmcgaha1 at comcast.net (Tim McGaha) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 14:05:12 -0400 Subject: xorg-X11-6.7.0-0.4 config working again, both XKB config bad In-Reply-To: <20040414163858.26521.qmail@web13002.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20040414163858.26521.qmail@web13002.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <407D7D58.5050400@comcast.net> Jesus D wrote: >Hi: > > Iam running config again with new release >xorg-x11-6.7.0. > > The solution was rename XF86config-4 to xorg.conf, >both have is the same error with keyboard: > > The ATI Driver, DRI, mouse scroll working good >again. > >Error activating XKB configuration. > Probably internal X server problem. > > X server version data: > The X.Org Foundation > 60700000 > > If you report this situation as a bug, please > include: > - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB > - The result of gconftool-2 -R > /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb > > The out this commands is: > > _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", >"pc101", "us", "", "" >_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc101", "us", >"", "" >[jds at toshiba jds]$ gconftool-2 -R >/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb > layouts = [us] > model = pc101 > overrideSettings = false > options = [] > > Any Idea? > > > > > >__________________________________ >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo!

Probably not (chkrootkit gives false positives with NPTL, basically). What you want to do is run chkproc -v from chkrootkit, and check /proc//cmdline and/or ps -efT against the pids it reports. Most likely they'll be something like nautilus and mozilla, which do show up like that normally.

No. I have asked about this before (should be in the list archives). There are several processes, which are not found by 'ps' and are not listed in /proc/$PID either. Various options to 'ps' (e.g. -m for threads) don't help. I haven't pursued this further.

The workaround is to unplug the usb-storage device. The device in question is a Lian-Li CF-3 card reader that supports four types or memory stick.

The following questions will probably display a level of confusion :-) Do I have to do "newrole sysadm_r" every time I run fixfiles? I was under the impression that you only have to do that once, and I did that when I first installed Fedora Core 2. The FAQ says that the role switch or whatever is part of su. It doesn't say in the FAQ (unless I'm missing it) whether you need to do that just the first time or every time. Whenever I login to root (as init 3), it says my default context is root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t. This means I have the sysadm_r role, right? Also, is there some command like "getrole" or something to tell you what role you are as? I also am wondering if it would be helpful for debugging purposes if the avc errors could say "denied but ignored" when you have enforcing set to permissive.

I think the special case was added because ntp uses UDP, and it is hard to use a "related" rule to let a response back in. You can easily customize the firewall during install.

(However this works for me) GAAKK! I didn't even know that existed. That makes it even _more_ complicated for the end user to try to get a working system. After looking at that, it makes me wonder why it thinks my security level is "Enable firewall", when I told it originally "no firewall" during install time.

I certaintly don't punch wide open holes through my firewall to let ssh connections through. I punch targeted holes to let in machines or subnets out in the wild that i know i'm going to be using regularly.

The same options provided by system-config-securitylevel should be available at install time. And if (anaconda) ignored user-provided settings at install time - then its probably a bugzilla item.

Basically, a friend asked my why SSH/SFTP didn't 'appear' to allow incoming calls. (Keep in mind that we have both been in the data comm business writting protocols for a living for over 20 years...) And we both had to spend time trying to figure out: a) what the cryptic messages implied. ie. "no route to host" b) that it was being caused by iptables c) how to workaround (disable iptable rules) or add a new rule. > I enable httpd on my > machine so that I can test various things. I would not want my actions > to open the firewall behind my back. Or do you mean that the user should > be asked if he wants the firewall opened? I can't speak for httpd, but I expect that it would fall under the same rules. ie. you can enable it, but it still won't work (from outside your box). (Yup, I just tried it.) My problem with the concept, and I understand and appreciate why its there... is that from a 'user perspective' they won't understand why it doesn't work for them, and they have _no_ indication of where to go to fix it. I'm an experienced guy, and _I_ didn't know. How do you expect my "mother" to know? The 'system' needs to direct the user to prevent frustration. An adage I use when developing software and writting manuals is: "If the user had to ask a question, I didn't do my job right!" The software either didn't do what was expected, and/or didn't direct the user on 'other' things they needed to do, and the documentation was missing or too cryptic to find out how to do the 'unknown' extra step. I guess thats my point. How is someone to know where and how to find the (now) 'extra', 'missing' step?

You have your answer already: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-April/msg01463.html Its very simple.... Fedora Core is tracking the expected path... Noting that Fedora kernels are different than currently available stock kernels is sort of pointless, if the goal is to make sure the fc2 final release has a kernel that matches what the mainline kernel looks like at that point, expected changes need to be tested now if they can be tested. Don't get hung up on what the mainline kernel looks like right now. What you need to try to be aware of is the expected path of kernel development. Understand this..its not a good thing for fc2 final release to have to introduce this kernel change after fc2 when the mainline kernel is expected to introduce the change. Its far far far better now to introduce this change in a testing release..if the mainline kernel is expected to adopt the change in a timescale relevant to the fc2 final release. It is far far better now...for testers to feel the brunt of this problem and give nvidia a heads up then to have this problem show up later or to have to delibrately break with mainline once mainline makes 4kstacks a nonoption. Its an expected change, its going to poke someone in the eye at some point. Its far better if the testers get poked in the eye, than people running fc2 final release boxes or mainline kernels. -jef"fedora test releases...a snapshot of 20 minutes into the future of kernel development"spaleta From davej at redhat.com Wed Apr 14 22:40:02 2004 From: davej at redhat.com (Dave Jones) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 23:40:02 +0100 Subject: Re; 4KSTACKS again.

No, iptables connection tracking works fine with UDP, even though UDP is not a connection-based protocol. An initial UDP packet counts as NEW. A temporary connection tracking rule is set expecting a response which expires in something like 30 seconds. If a response arrives in time, it counts as ESTABLISHED and the timer is reset to something like 180 seconds. As long as packets keep getting passed before timeout, the tracking rule's timer will keep getting reset to 180 seconds. If it's been up for a while, ntpd will gradually increase the time between queries to 1024 seconds, so the tracking rule will expire. However, each new query sent by the firewall should recreate the rule. You should be able to find these rules in the /proc/net/ip_conntrack table. The default firewall, unless it's changed in the FC2 tests, allows a box to act as a NTP client just fine, since OUTPUT allows all traffic and INPUT allows all ESTABLISHED and RELATED traffic. If you want to act as an NTP *server*, then you'll need to open access to udp/123. -- Steve Bonneville From spam at tachegroup.com Wed Apr 14 23:37:07 2004 From: spam at tachegroup.com (TGS) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 19:37:07 -0400 Subject: problem: NFS Hangs - selinux Message-ID: On all the machines that we have the latest on, we basically cannot use the machines since NFS hangs.

Well, just to poke a little bit at your logic: this is circular. You can't cite future kernel configuration defaults as justficiation for making an early change when the kernel is citing Fedora's change as the reason for the new defaults. And similarly, I'm not sure if the text "When the feature has settled in" is quite synonymous with "in 2.6.6". Honestly, we're on the same side. My fear is that if NVidia doesn't come through with working drivers in a timely manner after the FC2 release* then Fedora will end up with a black eye, with expert users unable to recommend it and a "Fedora doesn't support 3D" meme spreading in the community. I remember how many projects refused to accept bug reports from Red Hat 7.0 users because of the custom gcc version, and this sounds like a similar situation in the making. Now, maybe the idea here is activism: using the FC2 kernel as a mechanism to encourage NVidia to open their drivers and/or change their architecture to make the kernel module GPLable. And I'm not sure I would even disagree with that. But until the mainline kernel and/or other distributions start pushing this change too, it seems awfully dangerous to me. Andy * Remember they have a brand new GPU architecture to support in their next release. And auditing a big (!) source tree (which is itself, I gather, mostly a port of their WinXP driver) for stack overflows is not a trivial task; I get the feeling that some of the non-redhat posters are under the impression that all NVIDIA needs to do is recompile the thing.** ** Some people will no doubt be tempted to post more flames railing on about the stupidity of this choice of driver architecture. Please (please!) don't bother, I agree with you. I'm just trapped with a different set of priorities.

On FC1, please try again with a more recent version of chkrootkit, e.g. the package from http://fedora.us. chkrootkit has support for threads, which appear in 'ps' output only with option "-m". Enter chkrootkit home directory and run chkproc from there, e.g. # cd /usr/lib/chkrootkit-0.43 # ./chkproc -v 4345 is a Linux Thread, marking as such... 4346 is a Linux Thread, marking as such... 4347 is a Linux Thread, marking as such... 4348 is a Linux Thread, marking as such... On FC 1.9x, however, the hidden processes and directories in /proc are not recognized as threads and cannot seem to be listed with 'ps'. -- Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) - Linux 2.4.22-1.2179.nptl From redhat-jc at insight.rr.com Thu Apr 15 00:26:56 2004 From: redhat-jc at insight.rr.com (Jim Cornette) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 20:26:56 -0400 Subject: Hello - unbootable test2 discs In-Reply-To: <20040414221047.61998.qmail@web14802.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20040414221047.61998.qmail@web14802.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <407DD6D0.6050509@insight.rr.com> gigi becali wrote: > hi...i have just downloaded the fc2-test1.91 iso > images from the internet and i burned them down to > cd's and i had a very big surprise to see that the > firs CD doesn't boot.please let me know what can i do > to instal the FC2...thank you!!! > > ===== > The easiest suggestion that I heard was to start the boot with the first CD from Fedora 1. When you get to the boot screen, change the disc to the Fedora disk that you just burned. According to legend, the installation should work from then on out. I have a curiousity about the non-boting CD's. I got someone at work into trying out Fedora. He had trouble with the discs not being bootable when they were burned on XP, using Nero. He burned the discs again on Linux (Fedora Core 1) and the discs booted alright. Are these unbootable discs al burned using Windows or are the being burned with a cd burnig program on Linux. I seem to recall someone mentioning using K3B to burn the unbootable test2 discs. I am getting that the discs do not boot, regardless of the OS used and not anything different enough between the attempts to zero in on a root cause of the problem.

The problem with FC2 Test2 CD #1 is not related to burning errors. The MD5 checksum of a burnt disc can be verified. It's a problem with the ISO image. -- Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) - Linux 2.4.22-1.2179.nptl From jerone2 at yahoo.com Thu Apr 15 00:35:31 2004 From: jerone2 at yahoo.com (Jerone Young) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 17:35:31 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Possible root of problem for gnome-sound-recorder crashes Message-ID: <20040415003531.86376.qmail@web40914.mail.yahoo.com> It looks like the "gnome-sound-recorder" crashing issue is very related to the "gsteamer-properties" problem.

I guess the AVC messages were mentioned more than the application functionality. I guess automated failure reports would not be very practical. I just realized how fouled up the state of my test installation is with SELinux and latest kernel release, I was hoping that there was an easier way to get these errors reported to the developers and off of the test machines. I dreaded booting to runlevel 1, running "make" and then running "make relabel", just to get my graphical interface to work. Then try to figure out how to get all the information regarding the "needs improvement", located, filtered and relayed t where changes can be made and users could be a little less frustrated with downed processes. Before X locked up on initiating and the system had to be hard reset. I was only slightly agitated with the unknown user pop-up and not being able to poweroff from other than a root account. Little failures added to pretty important inoperable processes just got a little bothersome, especially, since I thought that I disabled SELinux interference by putting it into permissive mode. Oh well, I guess the fun begins at runlevel 1. Good luck! I'll try to see if I can get through the obstacles and help eliminate some of these blocks to a calmer release for Fedora Core 2.

It means that it was going to go away someday and now nvidia already has a distribution where they can test their new drivers...

Sure. While ease of use is a laudible goal, ease of blowing your head off can stand to be somewhat restricted.

I thought the service was great, but I've since moved to Fedora Core. During the first few weeks of FC, I had trouble with up2date, so I made the switch to Yum. I missed several of the nice features of RHN, but I've managed to make yum do almost everything except one: With RHN, (while using up2date), each package had a description of the vulnerabilties/descriptions of the problems, which told how serious the problem was. I would use this information to tell if I needed to update the package right away, or if it could wait. That data seems to no longer be available with up2date.. clicking on the "View Advisory" button yeilds something like "no advisory for this package".. and I don't know if it ever was available for yum.

I think there must be some difference. No. It's not in the burning. The problem happens consistently for me with FC2T2 and Mandrake Community 10.0 - does not happen with any other distro. Doesn't matter what OS I am booted from when I burn. And CD's I burn for other people often work just fine for them. It's not a burning software issue. I believe it's an issue with the bios. PC's suck (compared to macs) with how they boot from a CD. Some older bios require the initrd be precisely 1.44 MB Some allow 2.88 MB - some allow 4MB - but anyway, bootable CD's is a hack and really needs to be fixed on the PC hardware-wise. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/ From ckloiber at ckloiber.com Thu Apr 15 07:56:24 2004 From: ckloiber at ckloiber.com (Chris Kloiber) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 15:56:24 +0800 Subject: FC2 T2 and ATI fglrx In-Reply-To: <1082003892.2748.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1082003892.2748.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <1082015784.10990.5.camel@server1.example.com> On Thu, 2004-04-15 at 12:38, Chris McDonough wrote: > Hi all, > > Before I go off into the weeds trying to do this, I was wondering if > anyone here has the binary ATI fglrx drivers working in any fashion (2D > or 3d) with the following combination of system components: > > - 2.6.mumblemumble kernel > - X.org X11R6.7.0 (aka XFree86 4.4) > > (in other words, the stuff that comes with Fedora Core 2 test 2 ;-) > > Video from my Radeon 9600 Pro is working just fine at the moment thanks > to the VESA driver, so I probably shouldn't mess with it, but the devil > perched on my shoulder keeps telling me I need high glxgears scores to > run Emacs , and Tuxracer keeps calling my name... ;-) > > - C Try using the open source 'ati' driver instead of 'vesa'.

In-kernel NTFS write support is not available beyond editing existing files, and not changing their size by even one byte (according to the help available during make config). If you want real read-write support, I heard there's a project out there to wrap around the Windows .DLL responsible for handling NTFS.

I have had success with NFS + SELinux when I start NFS in permissive mode (i.e. after 'setenforce 0').

It works fine on FC1 but the sound drivers are OSS on FC1 and ALSA on FC2. On FC2, everything (e.g, system-config-soundcard) goes through the motions but no sound comes from the speakers.

Since starting to experiment with test2 I have seen a number of issues and opened several bugs. Beyond actual "bugs", resolved by package updates, most issues seem related to selinux context and file labels/attributes. The most offered advice is to do a "fixfiles relabel". For the issues I am looking at on my system this has been largely unsuccessful until last night, and I am wondering if there is a connection. I have been running selinux in permissive mode, and Fedora Core has been in runlevel five. I would log in as a regular user, open gnome-terminal, and do a "su -". id -Z would confirm I am running in sysadm role. relabeling has not resolved my issues. Last night I decided to try something different. I dropped down into single user mode before relabeling. Since then, the avc denied messages have largely disappeared. Does system state matter, is single user mode irrelevant, or is there some other issue here? From ernesto at ornl.gov Thu Apr 15 11:07:26 2004 From: ernesto at ornl.gov (Ernest L.

You might have to select a few packages and incrementally proceed. Since one of the packages may be causing a problem. Sometimes I end up running up2date 3 or 4 times. The first time I only upgrade the kernel. The second time I choose about a third of the packages, etc... If it is clear which package is failing during installation simply the don't select that one and file a bug report. Good News: If the packages were already downloaded, up2date will recognize this and will not start over with the download. So, things will indeed be faster this time. Hope this helps.

It shouldn't matter, except for mount point directories themselves, which can only be labeled by setfiles if the filesystem is unmounted. But the policy typically allows the mount point directories to just have the default file type, so that shouldn't present a problem for denials. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From ckloiber at ckloiber.com Thu Apr 15 12:16:21 2004 From: ckloiber at ckloiber.com (Chris Kloiber) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 20:16:21 +0800 Subject: FC2 T2 and ATI fglrx In-Reply-To: <1082030783.7979.0.camel@bart.netlyncs.com> References: <1082003892.2748.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1082015784.10990.5.camel@server1.example.com> <1082015971.2748.14.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1082030783.7979.0.camel@bart.netlyncs.com> Message-ID: <1082031381.10990.25.camel@server1.example.com> On Thu, 2004-04-15 at 20:06, Mike Chambers wrote: > On Thu, 2004-04-15 at 02:59, Chris McDonough wrote: > > On Thu, 2004-04-15 at 03:56, Chris Kloiber wrote: > > > Try using the open source 'ati' driver instead of 'vesa'.

A process that is already running will not be directly affected by a relabel. The file context is only looked at at process start.

Got it, thanks.. For stupid reasons, I thought it was more complicated than that. I did switch drivers before, but in a twist of fate, I thought it wasn't recognizing the card properly because I was reading /var/log/XFree86.0.log (which wasn't being written to anymore after a recent update!) instead of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. There's something to be said for having timestamps in log files. :-( In any case, I'm switched over and have 2D acceleration now. For those of you playing along at home, yes, it's as simple as substituting "radeon" for "vesa" in the Device -> Driver section of your XF86Config file. - C From fedora at shmuelhome.mine.nu Thu Apr 15 12:58:12 2004 From: fedora at shmuelhome.mine.nu (shmuel siegel) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 15:58:12 +0300 Subject: selinux fixfiles context In-Reply-To: <407E7CDF.2060603@redhat.com> References: <407E7CDF.2060603@redhat.com> Message-ID: <1082033892.3723.6.camel@shmuelhome.mine.nu> On Thu, 2004-04-15 at 15:15, Daniel J Walsh wrote: > Running in permissive mode is not the same as running in > enforcing mode.

Gene, Does your sound slider snap back to zero when you adjust it? It does here on a clean/un-updated install of FC2T2 x86_64 for both a user and root. Sound is not working on my K8V on the selinux-enable install although it is working fine on the selinux-disabled install. Sorta looks to me like this problem is that the audio output level is being forced to zero...will test further when up2date is completed...although I am wondering if libselinux is going to cause problems since I find no revised x86_64 version anywhere.

Is > there anything that I can do to assure that I don't give false positives > to received mail? A correctly implemented mail server will not acknowledge receipt of a message until it is written to a queue file. Therefore if SE Linux blocks the queue file write the mail server will send a 45x code (try again later). If SE Linux blocks writing to the delivery location (home directory or /var/spool/mail) then the mail server may either bounce the message instantly or re-try the message for a few days before bouncing it. If the mail server is unable to deliver or bounce the message then it could get lost. If SE Linux permits writing to the queue then it's very unlikely that it would prevent sending a bounce message. So the worst-case scenario for SE Linux and email is likely to be a bounce (at least the sender will know to re-send it). But checking the system logs for AVC messages related to mail delivery is easy enough, so when you put the machine in enforcing mode you should be reasonably confident that it will work due to a lack of AVC messages. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From Fulko.Hew at sita.aero Thu Apr 15 13:48:08 2004 From: Fulko.Hew at sita.aero (Fulko.Hew at sita.aero) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 09:48:08 -0400 Subject: incoming ssh/sftp blocked by iptables Message-ID: Here is _my_ last comment on the issue of SSH blocked by iptables. > I would think that the startup script for SSH should > also punch a hole in iptables in a similar manner. > > Any comments before I Bugzilla it? The issue apparently has been bugzilla'ed and resolved, but it is more complicated than I had originally thought. Let me go back in history to let you know why I was complaining about was I was... 1/ When I installed test 2, I did not do an upgrade from test 1. 2/ During installation I selected 'no firewall' because I want/need unrestricted access within my local LAN and I have an external firewall to the rest of the world. 3/ Due to the massive problems with SELinux durring the first day of test 2, I disabled SELinux on my machine and left it that way. 4/ Apparently a bug in the way 'disabling SELinux' was handled, accidentally turned the firewall BACK ON. (This bug was apparently fixed on Apr 8, but my machine had already been ''changed'' by this bug and had the firewall enabled (without my knowledge)) 5/ Now when I tried SSH I complained because I was being firewalled, even though I 'knew' I had disabled the firewall (how nieve). 6/ Then looking at NTP I saw a solution to a problem I didn't know I had... punching through firewalls. In retrospect, this all needs to be re-tested when test 3 ISOs come out. To make sure that firewalls are indeed off when off was selected, and stay off even when SELinix is disabled. And... hopefully SELinux will be configured sufficiently so as not to cause grief if left on. In conclusion, I (probably) agree with others that say firewalls shouldn't be punched through when applications are started BUT on the other hand, There should be sufficient warning to users/admins to tell them that 'other' sub-systems may be preventing something from working. ie. without a lot of effort... how was _I_ supposed to know that the firewall had turned _itself_ back on? These are the user/admin friendliness that everyone always aludes to. In my case, unfortunately I don't know how/when to throw a message up in the admins face to say: 'The system decided to re-configure itself contrary to what you originally selected."

The slider and general volume control problem is fixed by updating to the latest policy/policy-sources plus udev. However, I have gotten reports from some folks with K8V motherboards that sound works. I am not talking about the K8V ... I am talking about the SK8V. As I mentioned in my original message, I have no idea if the motherboards are the same or not (except for the socket754 versus socket840 business).

The firewall re-enable is of course a bug, and was not expected to happen. Not sure if its really worth development time, to provide drop-dead easy end-user sub-system interaction notification to workaround an obvious selinux bug. The test system should not have reconfigured itself in this way its a bug. I not really sure there is a good and obvious way to notify the average person about bugs like this in the general case...because well..there could always be a bug in the notification attempt to notify about bugs. That being said, the general issue of how to prevent unknowledgeable people from hitting a problem they were not expecting, from a subsystem they don't know about, when doing advanced things is going to be very very hard to try to do in the way you have suggested. which is to give instant feedback through gui-ish wizards like the services start wizard when subsystems are interacting in expected ways. If thats even possible its going to be tough. Instead I would point you to the system logs /var/logs/ and a log parser. redhat-logviewer exists as a gui tool, and the logwatch parser exists to create nightly emails to root user, its script based so it should be more than flexible enough to grow a brain about iptables issues. So the easiest and most comprehensive approach to notification is to make log watching and log parsing easier to find and more in your face. And even if it were technically possible, the problem is how does the system know that whatever conflict that is arising its actually a conflict and not a delibrate configuration...very difficult for the system to know what the local sysadmin wants is different than local actions that are being taken. But if the goal is to just get local sysadmins more notification about local activity tying in logparsing into the gui tools would make sense to me. Some ideas that pop into my head at the moment: *Possibly, have the services wizard suggest users review the system logs when making service changes. *Possibly, the services wizard with a little help from some extra logic in the initscript functions could grow a brain about service start/stop changes. To notify users when things have turned on or off last. Maybe have a datestamp of last change, maybe have some simple color code hi-lighting to give an indication that the service was start/stopped last time not through the gui wizard. *Provide easier access to the logwatch reports that get generated to the root user. Designation in firstboot of non-root user sysadmin email addresses to get log reports might be a good to help get people who don't know about the logging a heads up about it. *Or tie the logwatch email summary reports into the redhat-logviewer tool and make the logviewer gui the expected tool to be used by people like yourself. These ideas of course will not help all scenarios, there are a multitude of ways to actually start services and deamons up that might not log information as well as running the initscript designed to start the service. But assuming, we are just talking about 'normal' service operations that use the initscripts designed for the service, there should be a way to tie in initscript functionality to a logparser like redhat-logviewer and to the services wizard to give some extra notification about services activity. I just don't know whom to poke in the eye directly to talk about this, and frankly i don't have a very good understand of the state-of-the-art with the gui service related tools...im a commandline whore. But if i get time I'll poke around about my ideas some more, and maybe file an RFE in bugzilla. -jef From roger at gwch.net Thu Apr 15 13:15:53 2004 From: roger at gwch.net (Roger Grosswiler) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 15:15:53 +0200 (CEST) Subject: Cyrus-imapd & selinux Message-ID: <42644.62.2.21.164.1082034953.squirrel@www.gwch.net> Hello, i am not master of desaster of selinux, and i think its just a question of the policy.

This has nothing to do with how the CDs are written. It's an issue with many BIOSes that are unable to boot CDs with this particular layout (location of boot.catalog inside the image).

I have 3 questions: 1. Shouldn't both packages install identical files? Currently, one install (I'm guessing policy-sources) typically leaves ".rpmnew" file/files. In this last update, it was just file_contexts (and file_contexts.rpmnew), but sometimes its also the policy.1[567] files as well. 2. Doing a "diff -b file_contexts*" produces what appears to be some line reorderings plus a bunch of lines describing "/mnt/build". I can't find these entries in the src/policy/file_contexts directory. Should they be there? 3. When there are ".rpmnew" files in /etc/security/selinux/, which ones "should we use"?

Pardon me if I'm missing something obvious, but...why in the *world* would have to copy folder contents from an IMAP server to local folders and then reimport them into evolution in order to convert from one version of evolution to another? Heck, even converting from one client to an entirely different client should be almost a no-brainer when you are using IMAP. At least as far as the folder *contents* go. Sounds like a lot of unneeded extra work, to me. Local folders and configuration settings (including imap server config) are another story. However, one bonus of using cyrus-imapd is that even your folder subscriptions are preserved. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.

Grub detects and uses lba32 automatically, but it can be forced with --force-lba on install. Probably your board doesn't support lba32. In that case, create a primary /boot partition on the first sectors of your harddisk (below 4Gb).

I think you've been caught by the same thing that got me yesterday. Look at this list's archives for yesterday and today for more discussion. Make sure that either your firewall is _really_ turned off and/or that SSH is now a 'trusted' service. use: /usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel to find out and adjust iptables accordingly.

There are no duplicates between policy and policy-sources. While the policy package includes some files which are basic and needed by selinux, it also includes a pre-defined set of policy rules for a simple installation -- those necessary for a minimal install which would have selinux enabled. If you have a simple installation and plan to use the defaults defined by the developers, you only need the policy package. The policy-sources package has all of the source definitions which enable someone to tailor the security policy to their needs/wants. By default, it still defines the same policies as the policy package but you can change that with the files in policy-sources. When the policy-sources package is installed, it "recompiles" from source (after the installation) and updates the /etc/security/selinux/files_contexts and /etc/security/selinux/policy.{15,16,17} files and then reloads the policy appropriate to the kernel you are running. Naturally, when it updates those files, it replaces the files that were just install and loaded by the policy package. For most updates, as long as you select both polocy and policy-sources for update, you should be OK. If you somehow install the policy-sources package and then the policy package (such by using rpm --force), you will be running a policy which does not include any of your updates. I hope this helps to clarify things for you. -- Gene From warren at togami.com Thu Apr 15 18:23:13 2004 From: warren at togami.com (Warren Togami) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 08:23:13 -1000 Subject: Removing gftp-text Message-ID: <407ED311.9040201@togami.com> [root at ibmlaptop bin]# ls -l gftp* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 278 Apr 14 21:34 gftp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 301804 Apr 14 21:34 gftp-gtk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 163828 Apr 14 21:34 gftp-text I really want to just DELETE the gftp-text binary from the gftp package in order to save some distribution package and filesystem space. gftp the GUI client is great, but gftp-text really sucks.

Should I use ftp, or lftp, or ncftp, or wget... With the gftp package, documentation can say "use gftp" to transfer files. This works from both the GUI and command line. Perhaps the gftp program could just point to lftp or whatever when it cannot detect an X display, and make the chosen TUI client a dependency of the gftp package.

Version: 6.00 PG Release Date: 06/02/2003 That's strange. It looks like the same BIOS, but completely different release dates. Regardless, I think the install boot loader problem I (and others) had is a BIOS issue, and not the issue you are talking about. I'm installing the 1.322 kernel on the system right now and I'll see if it works on my system. I'm running the i586 kernel FWIW.

It also has a feature where users can, instead of authorizing as the root user, authorize as themselves with their own password. This is good for things like changing GECOS information, or anything else where you want the user to demonstrate that they really are who they say they are rather than just someone who walked up to the console. However, it's on an all-or-nothing basis -- either everyone must give the root password for a given program, or everyone can run it with their own password. My patch implements what I call a "sudo-like" behavior (although it is much simpler than sudo). Each program, through its console.apps config file, can have a list of groups whose members are able to authorize as themselves. Anyone not a member of the approved groups either must give the root password (or the password of a given user, or is denied access completely via a new value). This could allow members of an admin group (traditionally, 'wheel') to have easy access to all of the administrative tools -- very reasonable for ease of use on a personal desktop system. Or, you could be more fine-grained, and give members of a certain group access to 'gtoaster' on a shared CD-burning system. This all may sound complicated, but it's not. Usermode already implements 99% of what was needed -- the core patch is about a dozen lines! (There's also is_group_member and is_grouplist_member helper functions, but those are very simple too.) And, it's a very non-evasive change, because if the config files aren't changed, it defaults to acting exactly like it does now. See the patch, and the request, at: Any comments/suggestions are very welcome. And Nalin or whoever else, please consider adding this.

Very often we have no interest in the "INSTALL" file since we already installed it via rpm, and in many cases INSTALL is only the generic installation instructions. We can always remove that safely. This is totally worth it if we can save a few MB of space and reduce RPM file sizes. Also any cases where development specific documentation (like API specifications) are within the main package as %doc, we should move it to the -devel package. This should save some space in desktop installations.

This is due to the last BIOS being released by Award before they went out of business. Your BIOS is probably a mixture of this BIOS, plus stolen Compaq BIOS source code.

Moving the BIND ARM into a seperate bind-doc subpackage might make some sense. 700K /usr/share/doc/bind-9.2.3/arm Alternatively, at least getting rid of the DocBook XML source file Bv9ARM-book.xml, saving about 300k.

If you (or anyone, I'm not picky) could give me a five-second summary, that'd be great. :) I posted something to the Fedora SELinux list last month, and got an underwhelming amount of replies. (Um, none, really, except from someone who'd been working on an alternate way of doing exactly what my patch does.) Anyway, my patch doesn't necessarily touch any of that -- it's dealing more with the simple issue of who needs to authenticate as whom, and doesn't much care how that actual authentication happens or what it results in. -- Matthew Miller mattdm at mattdm.org Boston University Linux ------> From td3201 at yahoo.com Fri Apr 16 01:26:24 2004 From: td3201 at yahoo.com (Terry) Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 18:26:24 -0700 (PDT) Subject: ximian connector - work?

For those of you who are trying to do this, I can't recount all the steps I took in a sane way, but here's the laundry list in no particular order: 1. I started with a vanilla 2.6.5 kernel with a couple of the more innocuous RedHat patches applied from the source RPM (in particular, I didn't use the huge -mc patch). YMMV, but see #2 & 3. You probably won't get away with using a stock Fedora kernel because both CONFIG_REGPARM and DRI are enabled by default at least in 2.6.5-1-315. 2. You need to disable CONFIG_REGPARM in your kernel (it breaks the binary ATI driver). 3. You need to disable DRI in the kernel "Character devices" configuration. 4. You need to enable AGP in the kernel "Character devices" configuration. 4. You should probably enable AGP to load as a module also in "Character devices" (as opposed to a compiled-in thing), although this apparently isn't strictly necessary. Or is it? I have no idea. I did it as a module, that worked. 5. I have in my /etc/modprobe.conf: install fglrx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fglrx install agpgart /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install agpgart I have no idea whether either is necessary, but it works. 6. You need to remove the Xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL rpm forcefully in order to install ATI's RPM. 6. I patched a line in ATI's agpgart_be.c file before running "make.sh" because I have a motherboard with a VIA KT400. It's hard to tell whether this was necesary or not, as I had to go through so many gyrations to get it going, but it worked. I patched their sources in build_mod from (starting at line 6068): { PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8377_0, PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, VIA_APOLLO_KT400, "Via", "Apollo KT400", via_generic_setup }, // AGP v2 to: { PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8377_0, PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, VIA_APOLLO_KT400, "Via", "Apollo KT400", via_kt400_setup }, // AGP v2 (sorry for bad diff format, I'm typing this by hand) That's all I can remember, anyway. I had an old XF86Config lying around that worked under Debian on the same box with the same card, so I didn't need to go through the fglrxconfig nightmare. FWIW, when it first started working, it looked horrible. But using their qt config tool and adjusting the gamma correction sliders made it look ok. - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesus D" To: "For testers of Fedora Core development releases" Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 3:08 PM Subject: Re: FC2 T2 and ATI fglrx > Hi Chris: > > Iam running FC2 test2 with kernel tree 2.6.5 and > 2.6.6-rc1 working good with ATI fglrx driver and > Xorg-X11-6.7.0, 2D and 3D working excelent, tux game > very nice. > > Iam have machine eMachine M6807. > > Regards. > > > --- Chris McDonough wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Before I go off into the weeds trying to do this, I > > was wondering if > > anyone here has the binary ATI fglrx drivers working > > in any fashion (2D > > or 3d) with the following combination of system > > components: > > > > - 2.6.mumblemumble kernel > > - X.org X11R6.7.0 (aka XFree86 4.4) > > > > (in other words, the stuff that comes with Fedora > > Core 2 test 2 ;-) > > > > Video from my Radeon 9600 Pro is working just fine > > at the moment thanks > > to the VESA driver, so I probably shouldn't mess > > with it, but the devil > > perched on my shoulder keeps telling me I need high > > glxgears scores to > > run Emacs , and Tuxracer keeps calling my > > name... ;-) > > > > - C > > > > > > > > -- > > fedora-test-list mailing list > > fedora-test-list at redhat.com > > To unsubscribe: > > > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list > > > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

From bug 111601, Andre Robatino had the following to say: "This bug has been around forever. I complained about it last summer during the testing for Fedora 1 and was told that not being able to resume downloads was a well-known limitation, and that there was a fix in the works but it wasn't stable yet. Being able to use a mirror is _not_ a fix, it only makes the bug less likely to manifest. A look at bugzilla, fedora-list or fedoraforum will show countless duplicate reports of this bug by people who don't know what's going on due to the misleading error message. Short of an actual fix, it would help greatly if the error message was supplemented by something like "This error is probably caused by a server disconnect and up2date's present inability to resume downloads. This bug is much less likely to manifest if up2date is directed to a mirror instead of the main server." This can be added trivially, and would eliminate the countless duplicate bug reports, which are typically ignored. On the other hand, this should be easy to fix. I know that up2date saves partial downloads in its download directory, and that if a complete download is in this directory, up2date will verify the GPG signature and not download it again. All it has to do is instead of first checking the GPG, it should check the file size, and if it's too small, assume it's a partial download and resume. The signature should _never_ be checked until the file size is correct. I can't imagine this would take more than a dozen or so lines of code to fix." Long story short, up2date is doing it's GPG check on a file that has not fully downloaded or is corrupted (due to network congestion or whatnot), and the GPG checksum (of course) does not add up. Just keep trying (I have never had a problem with the DUKE mirror) and once a good copy is downloaded, you should be fine (you can delete the offending corrupted package from /var/spool/up2date before trying again, just to make sure a good copy of the package is downloaded). As mentioned in (several) of the above bug reports, using a mirror with less customers (or more bandwidth) will make recurrence of this bug MUCH less likely to occur. Check out: http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/#SlowUpdateServers or http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/howto/2004-01-15-yum-speed.shtml Hope this helps... -Sean On Apr 15, 2004, at 8:04 AM, Mark Haney wrote: > I'm beginning to see those crazy 'bad GPG signature' errors when I run > up2date again.

I hope I didn't come across too strong. I was truly wondering if I was missing something. However, even running the imap server on the same box shouldn't matter. If you are really accessing your folders via IMAP, it makes no difference whether they are on your local box or some other box on your network. If you are only accessing those folders through IMAP, you should never have a need to migrate your folders from one version of a client to another, nor even from one client to another. If you're not accessing them via IMAP, they are...well...not IMAP folders to begin with ;-). Then, of course, you might need to do some migrating. As an aside, IMAP is a great way to migrate folders if you have no other way to convert folder formats of one client to another. Just create an IMAP account for yourself, create folders to match your local folders, move (or copy to be safe) messages from local folders to IMAP folders, all with your old client. Then with your new client, access your IMAP account and copy (or move) all your IMAP folder contents to new local folders. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.

My Asus A7V600, has the same chip i believe. I remember that configuring the soundcard at the first boot, after pressing the test sound button once, i only got silence, but then after retrying, i had sound. I've got two installs of FC2T2, and on the first it i've got sound, and on the second i had, but have not anymore. On the latter i've updated kernel a few times, and on the first i didn't.

I am pretty sure this problem is specific to the ASUS SK8V and not the adapter itself. Afterall, the sound comes out the line-in jack when I run FC1. This is frustrating and I am not going to spent too much more time on it. If there is not progress soon then I will disable the mobo adapter and add a regular soundcard. BTW, I did hear from one other individual with an ASUS SK8V ... his sound does not work with FC2T2 either. He also said the sound did not work with FC1 but I don't know if he knew about "sound out the line-in jack". -- Gene From c.hauser at active.ch Fri Apr 16 10:29:20 2004 From: c.hauser at active.ch (Christian Hauser) Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 12:29:20 +0200 Subject: Crossover Office + Quicken 2004 + Fedora Core 2 T2 In-Reply-To: <1082083838.13339.1.camel@strider.nyvisitek.com> References: <1082083838.13339.1.camel@strider.nyvisitek.com> Message-ID: <407FB580.4080404@active.ch> Pankaj Jain wrote: > Has anyone been able to install Quicken 2004 on FC2T2 with CXOffice > 2.1?

The message is something like "Error: Can't find gFTP binaries installed in /usr/bin". I'm sure when gftp-text is removed gftp-gtk will be renamed to gftp and the old gftp script will be unnececary. I also tryed gftp-text and it seems useless to me. Midnight Command (mc) does the same job in text mode gftp-gtk does in graphic mode for me (I wonder why mc is not included by default in any installation mode, a bit buggy but verry easy to use for newbies). -- Regards, Doncho N.

There is a utf-8 patch included in the mc shipping with Fedora. However I am under the impression this patch causes problems when you use other character sets than UTF-8.

I have found that the 2.6.5 kernels are having problems, at least up to the .322 kernel. I am updating to the .326 kernel now; we'll see how it goes. With the 2.6.3 kernel that T2 originally had, I can run most everything under cxoffice. Editing /etc/sysconfig/prelink and turnig prelink off is essential, and SELinux and wine aren't currently getting along (I have SELinux off). With the .309 2.6.5 kernel, cxoffice would start up the programs, but they would crash out rapidly. With the .315 2.6.5 kernel, my laptop simply didn't work. With the .322 2.6.5 kernel, Excel at least will run well; I installed all of that under the 2.6.3 T2 release kernel.

I'm all for enhanced security, but I'm getting to be really skeptical about SELinux.

A reasonable request but separate from my patch. :) system-config-users needs something like the command-line 'gpasswd' tool -- the ability to delegate group management to certain users. And as you suggest, that could be extended to delegation of complete control over certain classes of users. But that's a project for later sometime. I'd like my little patch to go in now if at all possible. While the SELinux things may not be all worked out, it doesn't do anything relevant to that that the unpatched version doesn't.

At present, the SELinux kernel mandatory access controls only further restrict what can be done, e.g. to perform some privileged operation, you need to be uid 0 (or have the necessary Linux capability) _and_ have the right role/domain. That was done to reduce the risk that SELinux would ever undermine the existing system security. As for the usermode SELinux code, I can't directly speak to it, as it was written by RedHat, but I think that they did alter the authentication scheme to re-authenticate the user (if the user has a SELinux user identity, and is not just being mapped to user_u) when SELinux was enabled rather than root, since they could use the SELinux role authorizations to control use and wanted to avoid having to give the root password to all users of userhelper. In the long term, the requirement for uid 0 is undesirable; we ultimately want to be able to completely manage privileges via the SELinux role-based access control and type enforcement policies and eliminate the need for uid 0; see http://www.securecomputing.com/pdf/secureos.pdf for a comparison of POSIX.1e capabilities and Type Enforcement for such privilege management. But before we can this safely, we need to ensure that userland has been appropriately adjusted (some of this has already been done, e.g. glibc secure mode for SELinux transitions, pam_rootok SELinux checking, etc), and that the policy is properly configured to fully manage privileges. Hence, I don't expect this to happen for some time. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From James.Edwards at med.ge.com Fri Apr 16 15:55:56 2004 From: James.Edwards at med.ge.com (Edwards, Scott (MED, Kelly IT Resouces)) Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 10:55:56 -0500 Subject: Fix for 'no driver found' problem with Kickstart?

Similarly to the way sudo is used today. This might be something we will need to turn off before we ship FC2. Or at least make it tunable. The goal is to eliminate the need for multiple people to have the root password on a machine. So as we develop SELinux multiple roles will be defined for users will be assigned those roles. So you could end up with a appache web manager or a printer config manager and not have to give them root password on the system. Currently sysadm_r and root use the same password, so if someone has the root password they can still subvert the entire system.

I haven't tried this with the current development kernel. Here are the steps I did to get it to compile: 1. You will need to have the kernel-source installed. 2. Download the latest cifs vfs http://hostopia.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/cifs-1.0.8-2.6.tar.gz 3. Un-tar and copy is contents to your /usr/src/linux-2.6.5.???/fs/cifs directory, overwriting all the old files. 4. At this point make modules will fail with an error that reports "too few arguments in connect.c (sock_create). A diff of the connect.c from the original test 2 cifs/connect.c showed an extra ", 0" (comma zero) on the sock_create line. Adding this to the new cifs/connect.c allowed it to compile. Replace both occurrences of: rc = sock_create(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP, csocket); With: rc = sock_create(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP, csocket, 0); 5. From the top of you kernel tree do a "make modules modules_install". Cifs should now compile with no errors and mount.cifs should work... at least it did for me.

Hmmm. This is basically exactly what my patch implements, except for (optionally) using group membership instead of magically checking for the role thing. I don't think it should invisibly behave differently with SELinux enabled. Perhaps instead of making this automatic, a flag should be added in the console.apps files?

I do not have any kernel parameters in my grub.conf related to the CD-RW drive and it writes fine using the "cdrecord ATAPI:x,y,x" syntax.

A module can change the value of PAM_USER and in that way change the user whose password is requested and verified by modules which are called later, yes. You'd then depend on the application to act appropriately in the case where this happens: it could continue using the PAM_USER setting as the user's name, it could ignore the change and continue on (IIRC what most applications do), or it could flag this as an error (what usermode currently does). The pam_listfile module checks that the PAM_USER is in the list, or is a member of some group in that list, but it never modifies the PAM_USER item, so you can't accomplish what Matthew's describing by using the pam_listfile module.

Here is what ended up working (sort of) for me. 1) I did NOT put any hdx=ide-xxxx option on the end of my kernel boot statement. 2) I attempted to put the dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 into the parameter section for cdrecord in k3b. This did NOT work, as k3b did not insert it directly after the cdrecord command, but further along in the string. This led to a grumpy message when k3b attempted to burn the cd. As a workaround, 3) I used k3b to make an iso image. 4) I then used k3b to attempt to burn the iso image, and inspected the debug output when it failed to do so. I copied the cdrecord statement to a shell script, rearranged the parameters, and was able to successfully burn the iso image. 5) The working cdrecord statement looks like this: /usr/bin/cdrecord dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hdc speed=1 -dao driveropts=burnfree -eject -data /tmp/kde-elaine/20040416.iso The nonworking statement looked like this: #/usr/bin/cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hdc speed=1 -dao driveropts=burnfree -eject dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 -data /tmp/kde-elaine/20040416.iso 6) New CD mounts correctly.

My mouse wheel still works, but my Logitech MX 700 is *way* too fast currently under X. I don't use any acceleration settings. gdm on console works as usual, but under X, I can hardly point at my icons. It started at *some* point after upgrading from FC1, but I actually don't remember exactly when it started happening.

I use up2date for updating (and yum for installing additional packages from other, non-core repositories). Living in Europe I use - http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/development/$ARCH/ or - ftp://alviss.et.tudelft.nl/pub/linux/fedora/core/development/$ARCH/ Both mirror the x86_64 tree very well (in contrast to some other mirrors).

It indeed helped me very much! :-) I still haven't updated all packages, since my DSL was not working yesterday and today many new versions showed up... Well, I'm getting similar messages as many members here (XKB Error..) and also quite a lot audit's and many apps are broken now (quanta, krusader etc..) I also noticed that even if I'm logged in as root, I don't seem to be root. After "su" I'm allowed again what was permitted before "su". I try to look into it more tomorrow, search for existing bug reports on bugzilla and probably throw in a few more. So far so good... at least I can boot and X comes up (somehow)... Cheers, Hannes.

Just edit your /etc/cdrecord.conf and put there something like CDR_DEVICE=/dev/hdc or adjust it correctly. Something like that in your case: CDR_DEVICE=cdrom cdrom= ATAPI:1,0,0 -1 -1 burnfree and then you will not have to worry about these details regardless which front end you happen to use.

Once all X server configuration files are physically removed, and a single brand new xorg.conf file generated, and hand inspected to ensure that the XkbRules line is *not* present, the problem no longer occurs for the setxkbmap issue, and other issues that have been reported. It is possible that there may still be other bugs present, however so far, none of the bugs discovered with respect to the xkb rules file have been xorg-x11 bugs. I have discovered the config file bug responsible for setxkbmap breaking, and confirmed the fix, and we have discovered libxklavier hard codes the name of the rules file as "xfree86" which is broken as designed. Jeremy Katz has changed libxklavier to use "xorg" as the rules file, which is a kludge for now to get it to work, however the upstream developers of libxklavier should change it to query the X server to get the name of the rules file. This issue (and others) are not closed yet in bugzilla you'll note, which is to give enough time for all of our fixes to both get merged into publically visible rawhide, and allow end users time to upgrade to the new packages. Some things were fixed only this morning, and most likely are not publically visible yet. Please have patience with this issue, until our fixes are available. Once we have confirmed each issue is properly fixed, we will update the various Xkb rules related bug reports and close them as duplicates as can be confirmed, and close them as RAWHIDE once that can be confirmed as well. If gnome-keyboard-properties still is broken after these updates, then most likely gnome-keyboard-properties or something it links to is broken also, possibly needing a recompile, or additional fixes. Either way, these issues will definitely be resolved in future builds. Thank you once again for your patience, and your testing efforts."

I have no problem to login KDE as a normal user, however root login just doesn't do it. I can login to KDE as root, however that's all. All the application windows doesn't show any contents in them, no characters no menus and no buttons, just the window frame only. No right click on the background works. No desktop icons.

So far nobody seemed to report this. So it might be just me.
Any thoghts?

OK, perhaps "meant for" isn't the right verb. But, I didn't want to insult PDF by saying "only good for." If I'm to criticize the intent behind PDF as you give it, I'd have to call it a a narrowly conceived protocol derived from too constricted a set of use cases. It may do the job for you, and it may even do the job for a majority of people on the planet, but it leaves out a significant minority of users and is consequently inappropriate as a mass publishing protocol. In particular, it's inappropriate in settings such as U.S Government use under the strictures of the law popularly known as Sec. 508 (see http://www.afb.org/AboutPDF.asp). > > But to print them under Fedora, CUPS has automatic transformation tools > built into it (which uses Ghostscript).

As I recall the original post in this thread, that user couldn't deal with the size of chars in the LDP files. This is a more prevalent need than my need--and will increase in prevalence as our population ages. Other people need to "flip polarity," to see white text on a dark background. Other people need to control foreground/background color combinations (color blindness), etc., etc., etc. So, you may not need more, but we weren't talking about one person, right? > > Rudi > [1] Ok, and screen-oriented features like hyperlinks, bookmarks and > interactive forms, too. > > > -- > fedora-test-list mailing list > fedora-test-list at redhat.com > To unsubscribe: > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 From alan at redhat.com Sat Apr 17 14:38:33 2004 From: alan at redhat.com (Alan Cox) Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 10:38:33 -0400 Subject: XDMCP and FC2T2 Problems In-Reply-To: <1082168336.2547.3.camel@linuxbyte> References: <1082168336.2547.3.camel@linuxbyte> Message-ID: <20040417143833.GA6753@devserv.devel.redhat.com> On Fri, Apr 16, 2004 at 09:18:56PM -0500, Alex Thomas wrote: > Is anybody else having problems running a remote x session using xdmcp? > I start using X -query 192.160.0.1 and I get an Xwindow with the > standard black/white background and that is it.

I have all the packages up to a few days ago. I can use the keyboard as root when I run X as root. Also, the keyboard works for typing my username and password at the login screen, and also typing my root password when running programs that need me to enter the root password, like user management. Removing the line about XKbRules or whatever makes no difference. The only thing I think that could have caused this is maybe either running fixfiles, or changing my keyboard layout from the default to Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro (which is what I have). Can anyone give me any advice in tracking down this issue?

For the 2D stuff Nvidia do indeed write and donate drivers to XFree86/whoever From sean.bruno at dsl-only.net Sat Apr 17 17:15:51 2004 From: sean.bruno at dsl-only.net (Sean Bruno) Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 10:15:51 -0700 Subject: PE 2650 unknown devices Message-ID: <1082222150.12916.8.camel@oscar.metro1.com> I thought I would post this to both lists and let y'all sort it out. It seems that the Dell PE 2650 has some "unknown" devices in it. Pretty harmless thus far, but I thought I would document it for posterity.

For those of you who are trying to do this, I can't recount all the steps I took in a sane way, but here's the laundry list in no particular order: 1. I started with a vanilla 2.6.5 kernel with a couple of the more innocuous RedHat patches applied from the source RPM (in particular, I didn't use the huge -mc patch). YMMV, but see #2 & 3. You probably won't get away with using a stock Fedora kernel because both CONFIG_REGPARM and DRI are enabled by default at least in 2.6.5-1-315. 2. You need to disable CONFIG_REGPARM in your kernel (it breaks the binary ATI driver). 3. You need to disable DRI in the kernel "Character devices" configuration. 4. You need to enable AGP in the kernel "Character devices" configuration. 4. You should probably enable AGP to load as a module also in "Character devices" (as opposed to a compiled-in thing), although this apparently isn't strictly necessary. Or is it? I have no idea. I did it as a module, that worked. 5. I have in my /etc/modprobe.conf: install fglrx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fglrx install agpgart /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install agpgart I have no idea whether either is necessary, but it works. 6. You need to remove the Xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL rpm forcefully in order to install ATI's RPM. 6. I patched a line in ATI's agpgart_be.c file before running "make.sh" because I have a motherboard with a VIA KT400. It's hard to tell whether this was necesary or not, as I had to go through so many gyrations to get it going, but it worked. I patched their sources in build_mod from (starting at line 6068): { PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8377_0, PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, VIA_APOLLO_KT400, "Via", "Apollo KT400", via_generic_setup }, // AGP v2 to: { PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8377_0, PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, VIA_APOLLO_KT400, "Via", "Apollo KT400", via_kt400_setup }, // AGP v2 (sorry for bad diff format, I'm typing this by hand) That's all I can remember, anyway. I had an old XF86Config lying around that worked under Debian on the same box with the same card, so I didn't need to go through the fglrxconfig nightmare. FWIW, when it first started working, it looked horrible. But using their qt config tool and adjusting the gamma correction sliders made it look ok. - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesus D" To: "For testers of Fedora Core development releases" Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 3:08 PM Subject: Re: FC2 T2 and ATI fglrx > Hi Chris: > > Iam running FC2 test2 with kernel tree 2.6.5 and > 2.6.6-rc1 working good with ATI fglrx driver and > Xorg-X11-6.7.0, 2D and 3D working excelent, tux game > very nice. > > Iam have machine eMachine M6807. > > Regards. > > > --- Chris McDonough wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Before I go off into the weeds trying to do this, I > > was wondering if > > anyone here has the binary ATI fglrx drivers working > > in any fashion (2D > > or 3d) with the following combination of system > > components: > > > > - 2.6.mumblemumble kernel > > - X.org X11R6.7.0 (aka XFree86 4.4) > > > > (in other words, the stuff that comes with Fedora > > Core 2 test 2 ;-) > > > > Video from my Radeon 9600 Pro is working just fine > > at the moment thanks > > to the VESA driver, so I probably shouldn't mess > > with it, but the devil > > perched on my shoulder keeps telling me I need high > > glxgears scores to > > run Emacs , and Tuxracer keeps calling my > > name... ;-) > > > > - C > > > > > > > > -- > > fedora-test-list mailing list > > fedora-test-list at redhat.com > > To unsubscribe: > > > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list > > > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

Any thoghts? Logging in as root in KDE has always worked for me, and yesterday I did it on a newly installed development machine, so it is no recent change. Instead something must be broken on your machine... my first move I think would be to telinit 3 to kill X for sure, rm -rf /root/.kde and then telinit 5 and log into X as root again. - -Andy PS: We really like recent Korean films in my household, although My Wife is Not a Gangster nor is My Boss My Hero ;-) - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAgYcOjKeDCxMJCTIRAiU+AJ9jFzsR4LQOmT5OkEhlq0qZuX92BACeJ8t0 pHzofkC0h2ZzvL4cz9SFP/Y= =1MLR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From fedora at warmcat.com Sat Apr 17 19:38:53 2004 From: fedora at warmcat.com (Andy Green) Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 19:38:53 +0000 Subject: EXT3 filesystem error In-Reply-To: <20040417143945.63823.qmail@web90108.mail.scd.yahoo.com> References: <20040417143945.63823.qmail@web90108.mail.scd.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <200404171938.53238.fedora@warmcat.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Saturday 17 April 2004 14:39, Brian Bober wrote: > EXT3-fs error (device hda5) aborting transaction: Journal aborted Are you running smartd?

I never had a problem with agpgart loading. FWIW, apparently it's not necessary to load an external agpgart as a module if you have "Option UseInternalAGPGART" set to "yes" in your X config file. That's how mine is set, so I'm probably not even using the loaded module even though I load it from my modprobe.conf. I can't help much with fglrx module not loading; that works fine for me. But I'm not even sure *that's* necessary, either, as I've read reports that X will load the module for you when it starts. Due to an N x M problem (kernel version/kernel settings/x server version/x server settings/mobo chipset/ATI driver version/patches to ATI driver/ATI card model), it's all very confusing; my setup basically just happens to work accidentally. It took me about 10 hours to get it going. I probably would have been better off buying another video card.

FC1, no. backporting cpufreq to 2.4 constantly takes a lot of effort, and I'd rather devote those cycles to something more productive. FC2, its enabled in the 64bit build, but you're right, it is disabled for the 32 bit kernels.

I definitely have a problem with suspend/resume on recent 2.6 kernels. I haven't actually seen the 4G-disabled kernel binaries - they were removed as quickly as they appeared and with no explanation. Some RH people seem interested (wtogami, nphilipp) and others are closing bugs* (arjanv) when there are still reports of problems. OK I pasted a log that showed my wireless drivers giving warnings, but the basic kernel without X and the offending modules still hangs. I can assure you there is a problem. I am compiling a 2.6 kernel with 4G/4G disabled to see if that helps. So long as my poor machine doesn't cook itself I will soon know the answer. Even with unsubstantiated claims of 10% performance cost, and some actual problems, the current kernel is stopping some people from testing things like SElinux... so I hope this can be sorted out soon :) -Cam Related bugs from a recent search: *https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117032 *https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121020 (not closed yet!) *https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120903 *https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117607 (looks promising) From czar at czarc.net Sat Apr 17 21:40:36 2004 From: czar at czarc.net (Gene C.)

I was not aware of this capability so I did some googling and looking at the kernel source. I have an Opteron 140 running on an ASUS SK8V mobo so ... but then i find: 1. Not enabled for x86_64 2. I cannot find any type of powernow-k8 driver module for configuration option. 3. The utilities that I expect might be useful for this are in kernel-utils for i386 are not in kernel-utils for x86_64. This powernow stuff is a bit new to me so I just might be missing something. Is there some doc of somekind that says what oit is suppose to do? The only thing I can find so far is the kernel source and it is a bit cryptic for me. -- Gene From ndbecker2 at verizon.net Sat Apr 17 21:50:31 2004 From: ndbecker2 at verizon.net (Neal Becker) Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 17:50:31 -0400 Subject: rpm reports 2 glibc, what can I do?

The only > thing I can find so far is the kernel source and it is a bit cryptic for me. The official name is 'AMD Cool&Quiet'. Try googling for 'Athlon64 Cool&Quiet'. This is supported on Athlon64 only - (i.e no support for AthlonFX, Opteron chips) I think this is similar to speedstep in intel mobile chips - and powernow in mobile athlon chips. Basically the CPU supports The max freq (for max performance) - and a few lower frequencies - which can be used to save power.

In any case, although Dave said it was built for 64 bit systems, it does not appear to be there in the kernel (whether my hardware supports it or not). Did some googling and it appears to be not just for the Athlon64 but the "mobile" (laptop) version.

You have a kernel stack per process. Thats a lot of memory. This stack is used for syscall processing and also interrupts ocuring when that thread runs. You may also get nested interrupts so the stack needs to be big enough for a probable worst case, which means 4K or so alwayd free for interrupts. If you have 4K per process and seperate stacks per IRQ its more efficient and more reliable.

I mean, surely you'll run a 64 bit kernel on your fancy new 64 > bit cpu. Same reason that we enable the AMD64 on-CPU gart in 32bit kernels.. I'm hard pressed to think of a valid reason for running the 32bit OS over the 64bit one, but some folks may decide to for whatever reason, and the impact for non-AMD64 users of the 32bit kernel is negligable.

I guess this is not why yum won't upgrade. rpm -qi glibc doesn't actually tell the arch, unless I'm blind. I guess this is useful: rpm --query --queryformat "%{ARCH}\n" glibc i686 x86_64 I'm really stuck trying to debug this. I think I need to find something that can dump the format used by yum headers to see why it's confused. In /var/cache/yum I have glibc-0-2.3.3-20.x86_64.hdr and all other glibc-stuff all with same versions, all x86_64 versions present. I tried rm /var/cache/yum and redownloading everything. I tried different mirrors. This problem has persisted - it's not due to mirror sync.

I checked the archives; nothing immediately relevant came up in the search page. I'm running Fedora Core Test 2. Question: How do I actually *hear* the alert bell? The standard alert bell, as generated by the C '\a' escape sequence, or by running "echo $'\a'" under bash. I'm running Gnome. All I see is the window border blink, which makes sense, considering that Sound Preferences "System Bell -> Visual feedback -> Flash window titlebar" is selected. However, "Sound an audible bell" is also selected, and I hear nothing. I do have my speakers set up, and I can play ogg files normally, so I don't think it's a problem with my speaker setup.

You could erase one of the two from the RPM database, e.g. with rpm --erase glibc --justdb --noscripts --notriggers and then wait for the next update.

Sometimes, when trying to update everything fails, I find that updating a few packages at a time will work and help isolate the problem. Have you tried updating just one of the failed packages?

Sound volumes may not be restored at boot if /etc/modprobe.conf is not correctly setup to do so. You should have snd- modules loaded, quite a number of them, check the output of lsmod (soundcore, snd, snd-*). These get loaded due to the setup in /etc/modprobe.conf. What was updated this morning?

Hopefully, it will find a valid Fedora Linux Installation. If it finds an installation, it should tell you something like chroot /mnt/sysimage/ (not sure of what it exactly says). After you are chrooted to your non-booting ftp installation. Try to mkintird /boot/mykernelversion.img 2.6.mykernelversion and wait for the mkintird process to complete. If chroot puts you in multiuser mode, switch to another terminal and check your /boot/grub/grub.conf file to see if things will match what you specified for your manually created intird image. I'd file a bug report against anaconda to inform developers of the current rawhide tree install. You might wat to check your /root directory (not /) to see what anaconda and the install text files reveal about the ftp install. Good Luck! I'm fighting multiple installation of different packages and other issues. I'll probably just do an ftp install myself since my test SELinux version is well beyond easy managability. Also with the many package changes with X, kernel, SELinux recently.

Similar problem here, but with up2date (for x86_64). Had to do a fresh install from test 2 iso's, then update to current rawhide.

I synced up my tree to be the latest and greatest kernel and recompiled. Loading the resulting kernel works fine with selinux=0, but fails miserably with selinux enabled, even in permissive mode. I tried compiling as a regular user, then as root. I've run fixfiles relabel in both single user and multi-user mode, but nothing works. Others have said it works fine for them so I am missing something; please tell me what it is. Iam enclosing the dmesg output from booting the kernel. The selinux options i enabled look like this: # # Security options # CONFIG_SECURITY=y # CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK is not set # CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES is not set # CONFIG_SECURITY_ROOTPLUG is not set CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM=y CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y # CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_MLS is not set I can send the full configuration file used to build the kernel if desired. -------------- next part -------------- DE UDMA100 controller on pci0000:00:04.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb800-0xb807, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb808-0xb80f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA hda: MDT MD200BB-00DEA0, ATA DISK drive Using anticipatory io scheduler ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hdc: _NEC DVD_RW ND-1300A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: MDT MD200BB-00DEA0, ATA DISK drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 PDC20265: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:11.0 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:11.0 PDC20265: chipset revision 2 PDC20265: 100% native mode on irq 11 PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit DISABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode. ide2: BM-DMA at 0x7000-0x7007, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio ide3: BM-DMA at 0x7008-0x700f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio hda: max request size: 128KiB hda: 39102336 sectors (20020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=38792/16/63, UDMA(100) hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hdd: max request size: 128KiB hdd: 39102336 sectors (20020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=38792/16/63, UDMA(33) hdd: hdd1 hdd2 hdd3 hdc: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33) Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice input: PC Speaker serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 input: ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 1024 buckets, 32Kbytes TCP: Hash tables configured (established 32768 bind 9362) kjournald starting.

Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2004 15:55:12 -0400 Subject: FC2 menus Message-ID: <200404181555.12051.czar@czarc.net> I don't like the menus that come up on FC2. While the menus on FC1 may not have had the applications I would like come up in the main menu, there was "More" pointing to a submenu to get additional application. Now with FC2 there is only the top level menu. Is this the upstream approach to menus? If it is, it is not very good! There is far too much on the First selection menu. For example, on an everything install system, the Games menus has to be scrolled to see anything. Furthermore, it does not include additional applications when they are installed. I was installing firefox on an i686 system and a x86_64 system (I now have it working). At first neither had Mozilla Firefox on the menu. I could see it when I did StartHere->Applications->Internet but not in the menu. I brought up the properties for Firefox too see if there was some selection to make it appear but saw nother and closed it ... oops, it is now on the menu ... this was on the x86_64 system. Sure enough, there was nor an entry in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/ for firefox. So, is this a fluke? I try and repeat it on the i686 system ... nothing. I know that one of the objectives for Fedora Core is to stay close to what is being done upstream but there is also a matter of sanity. How do we go about configuring menus so they are reasonable? I understand that menu editing in gnome has been broken for some time now but that this is something in the works which will implement menu editing. Will this be ready for FC2T2 final. It seems to me that this late in the FC2 process, the answer has to be no. In that case, I suggest that the menus need to be structure more like they were in FC1 ... at least I can live with that one.

I might have seen this - but not sure.. I know I had some problems with http (no proxy). Perhaps it was the same thing. Now I primarily use ftp urls. However I do see hangs occasionally with ftp (for eg: after completing a .hdr download). It just sits there. Ctrl-C snaps it out of it - and it continues with the next file download.

I've assumed that it's just overloaded servers. Find a mirror you like. I used mirrors.kernel.org for a while but now it seems to be perennially out of date; now I'm using dulug. (Thanks to you both, BTW!) Unfortunately, the net is that most of the time I can steal to play/test Fedora I spend wrestling with yum or up2date just to stay current enough to bother reporting anything. Cheers, Mark.

It is the only one I can find that still has a touchpad in it. I'd be very interested if anyone knows of a source of a "broken in half" (I've forgotten the technical term for the new way of laying keyboards) with a touchpad, I'd like to know. The one I'm using is not well made, and breaks after a few months, and is expensive. But I find mice very hard on the hand, and don't really want to find I have some hand problems in the future. But the real point is I made a modified xkb geometry, keycodes and keymap files for it to swap the alt and window squiggle key (whatever it is). This suddenly stopped working quite a while ago, before the switch to X-org. I now suspect that gnome started doing its own skb stuff, and ignores what the server loaded. If that is true, where can I find out how to configure gnome the way I did XF86Config? I can't seem to find docs on how this works in gnome. It was difficult for me figuring out how to do it in X ;) But at least there was documentation I could find.

I must add that I've seen this happen once to me. I was a bit puzzled - But then when I repeated the yum operation - it went through fine. I guess I should start using strace with yum..

Now with FC2 there is only the top level menu. I would like to assist your approach! And I hope the menu structure will become as well sorted as in FC 1. There are some other inconveniences in the route the Gnome project seems to follow, which make the desktop less usable. E.g. the desktop context menu no longer contain the menu items "drives" and " Open" (a new nautilus window). You have to move around your windows to get access to the desktop icons. Very inconvenient.

Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 03:27:31 -0400 Subject: FC2 and SATA drives Message-ID: <200404190327.31279.czar@czarc.net> I have an ASUS SK8V mobo with an Opteron 140 processor. This mobo has the usual ide support plus SATA drive support as: 00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3149 (rev 80) I have two Maxtor 120GB drives on the system. The first is a regular ide drive and comes up as /dev/hda. The second is a SATA drive and, under FC2, comes up as /dev/hde. Under FC1, this SATA drive came up as /dev/sda. I first installed the SATA drive when running FC1 and it seemed to work fine. When I installed FC2, it (mostly anaconda and parted) had some problems with the partitioning (it was c/h/s rather than lba). Therefore, I did not use it with FC2. During my FC2 testing I found I needed a much large /home partition. I had stopped using the SATA drive even under FC1. Well, here is a chance to do some testing. So I did cp -va /home/* to partition on the SATA drive, did rm -rf /home/*, updated /etc/fstab to mount the new /home partition, ran setfiles to make selinux happy. Then I started using the new drive ... I needed to build an rpm. I run gkrellm to keep an eye on the system and have it display the individual drives. Wow ... my hde drive sure shows lots of i/o even though not much is going on. This does not look right so I killed the rpmbuild, started monitoring /var/log/messages (nothing there). Then I ran hdparm -t and got the following results: /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 166 MB in 3.24 seconds = 51.26 MB/sec /dev/hde: Timing buffered disk reads: 10 MB in 3.27 seconds = 3.06 MB/sec This is not right. So move /home/ from /dev/hde to a partition on /dev/hda. During the copy I noticed that gkrellm said lots of I/O on /dev/hde but little was going on on /dev/hda. In addition, the copy took long "pauses" during the copy. 1. This does not seem right (3.06 MB/sec!?). Any comments/hints as to what is going on? 2. This disk seemed to work just fine under FC1 using libata. I understand that undef FC2 some different code is being used but that the "old" libata interface is still there. The modules.conf/modprobe.conf line is the same in both cases: alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via If the old interface is still there, is there a way to specify it be used? -- Gene From mickeyboa at sbcglobal.net Mon Apr 19 10:58:25 2004 From: mickeyboa at sbcglobal.net (jim tate) Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 05:58:25 -0500 Subject: KDE & Selinux problem In-Reply-To: <1082372150.19777.0.camel@mickeyboy> References: <1082311703.2508.20.camel@mickeyboy> <1082369192.19492.1.camel@mickeyboy> <1082372150.19777.0.camel@mickeyboy> Message-ID: <1082372305.19777.1.camel@mickeyboy> On Mon, 2004-04-19 at 05:55, jim tate wrote: > On Mon, 2004-04-19 at 05:06, jim tate wrote: > > On Sun, 2004-04-18 at 13:08, jim tate wrote: > > > Ran /sbin/fixfiles relabel and rebooted and changed > > > /etc/sysconfig/selinu enforcing from permissive, > > > rebooted and boot with no problems, but as soon as I > > > try running application in KDE that needs SU priviledge, > > > it starts to run but it won't give you the KDE-SU window > > > and after about ten seconds it just stop running. > > > You can go into Kde/Menu editor and see all the SU application > > > are set to run as 'root' > > > I changed /etc/sysconfig/selinux to SELINUX=permissive > > > and rebooted. > > > Now I can run any SU application as KDE user again. > > > and get KDE-SU window to login to SU. > > > I have noticed this as a problem in Fedora Test1-2 > > > But seems to correct itself after KDE updates. > > > My box has all new updates as of 1pm 4-18-04. > > > > > > Thanks > > > Jim Tate > > > > > > > > > > > > > I also found that this problem doesn't affect Gnome like > > it does KDE. > > > > Thanks > > Jim Tate From czar at czarc.net Mon Apr 19 07:39:15 2004 From: czar at czarc.net (Gene C.)

I was getting worried. I noticed that with kde 3.2.2, I have some menu editing capability now ... I can add new launchers and I can add new submenues. Although the new launchers do have an effect and can be seen in the menu, the new submenus disappear when the menu editor is run again and do not show up as a menu item. I can also move launchers between submenues but, again, this is only in the menu editor and does not really effect anything. I assume, given that FC2 final is "real soon now", the menus will be "fixed up" to the best of anyones ability but the true menu fix with full editing and gnome/kde compatibility will need be later (hopefully FC3). -- Gene From Fulko.Hew at sita.aero Mon Apr 19 12:53:59 2004 From: Fulko.Hew at sita.aero (Fulko.Hew at sita.aero) Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 08:53:59 -0400 Subject: USB Hotplug doesn't Message-ID: Following up to my own email... I have looked into this issue a little more (I threw in debug statements) and I found out that indeed /sbin/hotplug gets called at power-up time, and it gets called when I _unplug_ a USB device, but it DOESN"T get called when I plug _in_ a USB device. Perusing the web, it seems as though its an application called 'khubd' that is supposed to call /sbin/hotplug. If I want to try to figure out whats going on, I need to find the code for khubd, but so far... to no success. My best clue is stuff in /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.326/drivers/pci/hotplug.c but I haven't found the code that actually calls /sbin/hotplug, let alone the code that triggers the call, and why only unplugging triggers the call.

Personally I think FTP/HTTP installs are a much better way of doing it, especially if you are installing to just one machine, and are unlikely to continue re-installing. The reason why I say this is that an FTP install will only install the required applications, and as such should inevitable lead to less usage of bandwidth from the sites you would be downloading from. E.G. The DVD ISO is around 3 gig? Of that how much do you actually need? 700meg? The DVD ISO contains lots of data the average users is unlikely to ever require. I did two HTTP installs of FC1 at home the other day, and it only took about 2 hours for the both. It gives a nice little timer showing how long for each package to download, all very nicely done. In short, i would recommend downloading the 4 meg boot.iso burning that, and doing the rest over an Internet connection if you have the luxury.

This sets the permissions. You still have to change /etc/sane.d/epson.conf; comment out: # scsi EPSON # usb /dev/usb/scanner0 add new line : usb libusb:003:002 Problem here is that the :003:002 part can differ when you exchange usb devices.

After that even under root scanimage -L was unable to find the scanner. But thx for the idea.

Well, I changed the mustek_usb.conf file (the device Message from xsane talks about mustek_usb:libusb:003:002) from autodetect to the line above, but than scanimage is unable ot recongnize it. If I start xsane with my tv card, I am able to "scan" pictures, so xsane alone works. But setenforce 0 does not help, I typed it as root, tried to open xsane as user, and got the same error as written in my old messages.

Please see the archives for some solutions. It would also be good if you would let the Fedora people know what hardware and bios you have problems with. This will help them fix the problem before the next test release. When the next test release comes out, please test it on the problem computer to verify that the problem has been fixed.

See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119386 for further details. Here is my solution: * burn boot.iso (~4.2Megs) on a CD * run that CD and at the boot prompt insert FC2test2 CD1 and type: /isolinux/vmlinuz initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 Ciao, Hannes.

You probably have both the i386 and i686 or other architecture RPM installed. The usual way to fix this is to select the *correct* format RPM, download it, and do an "rpm -Uvvvh --replacepkgs glibc-2.3.3-18.i686.rpm" with the RPM. You may also need to do an "rpm --rebuilddb" command to straighten out any confusion about overlapping files. This usually happens when people try updating such packages by hand and don't realize there's a different one for each architecture.

As much as I detest it, NFS installations are *MUCH* than either HTTP or FTP. This of course is only really useful inside a local network where NFS is available, not generally available over the Internet.

Message-ID: <1082407471.9073.12.camel@oscar.metro1.com> I have been conducting some serious load tests of Java 1.5.0 under Fedora Core 2. Basically I was looking for a 2.6 distro that I could test SMP performance of Java 1.5 against. I have FC2 installed(fully patched to daily updates) and running. I ran into a serious issue that I cannot debug at this point when I updated the Kernel from 2.6.5-1.319smp to 2.6.5-1.322smp. The Dell PE 2650(dual P4) completely locks up when I get anywhere from 4 to 10 of these Java programs running. Under the .319 release, I can run 48 instances of this application without issue. The lock-up is so serious, that I cannot remotely do anything to the box, the console is unresponsive and the front panel "power button" doesn't respond. I pretty much have to pull the power out of the back of the machine. So, I looked at the kernel change log from the RPM, and I see no evidence of anything even remotely close to what I am seeing. More than that, the machine has no useful logs about memory usage or any "oops" that may have occurred. So, 2.6.5-1.319smp works great for me, but 2.6.5-1.322 and higher completely locks.

I can scan if I use a Fedora Core 1 - 2.4 kernel. I have an HP ScanJet 2100C and don't need to edit anything to get it to work. I tried this with the Fedora Core 2 version of xsane and did not have any problem. With the 2.6 kernel version, no dice, not recognized. I figured that they changed some module from the 2.4 kernel to the 2.6 kernel and have not made the needed changes to xsane and initscripts to get some of these scanners off of the "unemployment" roles. With SELinux in the mix now, it might cause a lot of problems running a non-SELinux aware kernel, just to scan something. Oh well! Maybe the scanners will be working for test3.

Don't tell me that you're running x86? With FC1's 2.4 kernel on x86_64 I can make it blow chunks without breaking a sweat, using Sun's 1.4 javac. I was hoping that the kernel bug would be fixed in 2.6, but it looks like things are going from bad to worse. The x86 kernel seems to be fine. It looks like I was being too optimistic. It looks more likely now that 2.6 will not have a stable kernel either for the x86 or the x86_64 platform. > More than that, the machine has no useful logs about memory usage or any > "oops" that may have occurred.

Well, if you're the adventurous type, you can compare the two kernel spec files, and begin tossing out patches one at a time, until you find one that breaks things. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Harris) Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2004 20:04:28 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Request: xkb rules related bug reports Message-ID: Bugzilla is getting inundated with bug reports from people concerning the Xkb rules. In particular the control-center applet was broken, or one of it's dependancies, and everyone and their brother is hitting this issue. ;o) First I'd like to note that the GUI tool pops up an error message incorrectly claiming this is an X server bug. Now that we've got that out of the way that this is not an X server bug.... ;o) I have a couple of requests I'd like to make of people testing Fedora Core test releases: - Please before reporting any bug about anything in bugzilla, query bugzilla *first* before filing a new bug report. In this case there are about 15-20 duplicates total I believe, all filed against xorg-x11, none of which are xorg-x11 bugs. ;o) - Please do not file any more duplicates for this issue. ;o) This specific issue is fixed already I am told, but the packages are not all available aparently, because people still reproduce it with the latest public packages. One reporter notes that control-center 2.6.1 and libxklavier 1.0.2 is required to fix the issue, however I can't find any such package name-version-release existing inside the Red Hat buildsystem. I believe the reporter made typos for the versions of both packages. I just thought I'd make this request, so that reporters do not continue to waste their time by filing hundreds of duplicate requests for this issue, and don't waste my time having to spend half the day triaging all of the incoming duplicates, leaving less time to fix other bugs. ;o) The master bug duplicates of all of the xkb related issues WRT xkb rules file issues, are: (control-center, xprop issue) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=xkbrules-xprop (setxkbmap issue) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=xkbrules-setxkbmap Please add yourself to the CC of either report if you experience these issues, rather than reporting a new bug. If anyone can confirm the specific versions of said packages 'in the bugzilla reports above' that are needed to fix the issues (as they're not my packages), that would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for testing Fedora Core 2 test releases. TTYL P.S. I'm not subscribed to the list, so I wont see list-replies, please use bugzilla to indicate any status/info for these issues. -- Mike A.

Some how the new LANG stuff drops them on perldoc printouts and inserts something else (that is invisible) an \xE2.

Why not just use autofs, that's what it was designed for. Just putting a startup script in the background can cause problems if you don't start a new session with setsid. Some time ago the Debian sysvinit package changed and it caused a signal (from memory I think it was sighup) to be sent to any background scripts that were running when the machine went to multi-user mode. I'm not sure whether Fedora operates in the same way as Debian in this regard. At the very least this issue will make it difficult to have the same configuration on machines running different distributions, and at worst it could result in race conditions in scripts depending on the availability and speed of the file server. One of the problems with putting network file system mounts in /etc/fstab is that it's easy to make a circular dependency, which will work fine when you reboot one machine but which will cause big problems if there is a power failure. Finally, the closer you stay to the usual configuration the easier it will be to get features such as SE Linux working... -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page From riobaan at hotmail.com Tue Apr 20 04:07:26 2004 From: riobaan at hotmail.com (Rio Baan) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 04:07:26 +0000 Subject: FC2T2 install: anaconda spins at 100% in disk druid Message-ID: >This machine has a pair of SATA drives as its only storage, one 120G >Seagate and one 250G WD.

Looking in /dev, I don't see anything to account for the difference between the subdirectory space and the total space. It is ext3 on LVM on RAID on IDE on one of the recent Intel motherboards; FCT2, with no updates. Part of our backup system makes backups to hard drives on another server, across NFS. A du -s of the backup /dev reports 444, closer to expectations. Something has gone very wrong: any suggestions what it might be? There are other du anomalies, but the one in /dev looked the most egregious. I thought perhaps finding the source of this symptom would solve the whole problem. Other than doing an fsck after the backup is done shortly, I'll leave this alone so it can be looked into. I've managed to free up 1G by removing some unnecessary stuff that is on backup so it can be replaced later.

Hi Mark, Yeah, off by default for only FC2t3 is probably the case. Let us hope so. :-o However, that is going to mean less testing and focus on it for the final test, which is basically the release candidate for the final core release. So maybe someone care to explain the problems with shipping SELinux in enforcing/permissive mode for test3?

Sorry for all Being an integral core feature only requires that most things work with it, which is a goal we are rapidly approaching.

I reinstalled with minimum installtion option .. and it works fine .. I can boot, login and everything ... ofcourse no X server is installed in this scenario ..... therefore, guessing that things are fine (otehr than X srver probably) I re install with 'Everything' option ... again .. i get a blank screen after installtion adn booting ... unfortunately I cannot provide any logs as I had some urgent work to do and I reinstalled another distro after formatting the et3 partition ... The notebook has an ATI IGP 340M 64MB chip (Fedora core 1 pics it withsome basic drivers with no problem ) ... may be i am guessing wrong and the problem is not with X Server (since it does show the graphical loading screen during init steps ... ) anyways .. if anyone can point anything interesting regarding all this ...

This is a older IBM ThinkPad 600E with a plain FC2T1 stripped most non-essensial packages to save space. Then upgraded with the FC2T2 cd's. So I did not do anything actively to select enforced mode.

That's a really good point from Aaron... especially if your machine serves with Samba, smbd can still have a finger on apparently dead files. lsof -n | grep smbd will show them if that is the case, and service smb restart will magically free the 'deleted' files. I had that here with some large media files I had served over Samba, then deleted at the server, but I was not getting my space back due to smbd feeling nostalgic for them. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAhRchjKeDCxMJCTIRAlbDAJ45Pi3N1Zg37g//AQr1sQvlNzDYWwCeLBNK hRHTAEOfXTHFlkreciJ6bvg= =3KJT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From harald at redhat.com Tue Apr 20 11:51:19 2004 From: harald at redhat.com (Harald Hoyer) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 13:51:19 +0200 Subject: ethereal needs libpcap.so.0.8.1 In-Reply-To: <1081437013.4767.9.camel@athlon.localdomain> References: <1081424335.30051.22.camel@rgouveia.fc.up.pt> <40753C43.3060903@redhat.com> <1081437013.4767.9.camel@athlon.localdomain> Message-ID: <40850EB7.3000005@redhat.com> libpcap is not really a dynamic library and the versioning of this library does not ensure ABI compatibility for minor version changes.

No. The SELinux network access controls support enforcing a system security policy over network communication by processes based on their security attributes. At present, they are limited by the lack of labeled networking support, but can still be useful, e.g. for a guard system. But they aren't intended to act as a replacement for normal packet filtering. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From td3201 at yahoo.com Tue Apr 20 13:34:31 2004 From: td3201 at yahoo.com (Terry) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 06:34:31 -0700 (PDT) Subject: smbmount/mount -t smbfs fails - bug?

They switched to CIFS instead, but unfortunately this is currently broken: you get an error -13 at the client side when you try to mount. Apparently this is fixed with the latest CIFS stuff that just needs to get updated in the kernel. What is working is the smb:// ioslave in Konqueror, that seems to have its own equivalent of samba-client which is not reliant on any support in the kernel. But that is not a mounted filesystem, just a way to ease access in Konqueror, you have to copy files over to your machine to actually open them and so on. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAhTkRjKeDCxMJCTIRAhE5AKCWVoisYW78LMCbpxxB/WFXnzWl+gCglAMQ QE1yAnNksF11VcgFC+EodX0= =Xy0O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From enormandy at stardel.com Tue Apr 20 13:54:05 2004 From: enormandy at stardel.com (Elaine Normandy) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 07:54:05 -0600 Subject: (s)locate command failing In-Reply-To: <200404201412.12478.fedora@warmcat.com> References: <40851EF8.6040402@stardel.com> <200404201412.12478.fedora@warmcat.com> Message-ID: <40852B7D.40403@stardel.com> Thanks!

With kernel 2.4, samba 3 also *fails*, so it seems to be a problem with samba3.

There is a tiny bit of overlap, but netfilter deals with stuff earlier than the protocol stack which provides better defence and the ability to defend aainst protocol level abuses.

What is _really_ going on here, and how long will this be going on? And while I'm at it... Why doesn't up2date show the package size, and total size of packages requested anymore? If yum is the future... eliminate up2date. If up2date is still acceptible, please fix whatever is wrong. Sorry, for the rant... but it is legitimate.

Message-ID: <20040420162953.14335790066@ws1-14.us4.outblaze.com> yum'ed todays updates (all 30 of them), including kernel-2.6.5-1.332, etc. Since there was no new policy or policy-sources rpm, I did not "fixfiles relabel" afterwards. On rebooting I noticed new "avc denied" messages in /var/log/messages from init, mingetty, Xorg etc., so I figured I needed to "relabel". I dropped back to single user ("telinit 1") and ran "fixfiles relabel". After producing most of the usual messages ("cleaning out /tmp", etc.) and working for what seemed to be the customary period (about 4-5 minutes), I noticed that the system appeared "sort of" hung. keyboard echo was working, CTL-Z produced "stopped" message, but I could not get a shell prompt.

He told me of some of his problems with Fedora. He said he had big problems running Fedora Core 2 Test 1; he was not mollified when I tried to point out that one can *expect* huge problems trying to run test releases. He insisted that it was entirely unprofessional to release software that wouldn't even install, and that using the FC2T1 upgrade process on top of a working FC1 system made a real hash of it. He had performed alpha and beta testing on Windows and never had such problems. Now, the room was loud, I am hard of hearing, and I may be misrepresenting what he said. He may have meant FC2T2. I tried to argue that the test series was not intended to meet his expectations, and had other purposes. I did not manage to make my point. Perhaps I had a hard time believing my own point; code that doesn't even install DOES look pretty silly. And it is hard to argue about the nature of good code development with a person whose career is based on successfully producing some of the world's most reliable and mission-critical code. This is probably a problem of managing expectations. It is quite easy to navigate from the top of fedora.redhat.com to the FC2Tx download area without encountering a single explicit disclaimer or explanation of what FC2Tx is for, or how dangerously buggy the test code can be. Many people, including professional software people heavily oriented towards testing, may download this code without understanding what they are in for. You can read this mail group for months without seeing a FAQ; there are apparently none of the warnings that used to come with rawhide. Some big warnings, such as a FAQ that appears often on this list, and on the http://fedora.redhat.com/download/test.html "download the test release" page, are needed. We should let potential testers know the huge difference between a test release and a general availability release, before they start downloads. This would save this list from a lot of carping from people like the Boeing manager, and like me. State the goals. Be honest about the downside. That will cause a lot of potential testers to go away, sure. It might also prevent disappointments that result in Linux (and Linux programmers) being rejected by major software-using organizations. A decade from now, I don't want to ride on an airplane controlled by Windows CE-RT, because in 2004 we pissed off the wrong person at Boeing. Let's work on those disclaimers, okay?

When you install a test release, there's a very big dialog box that appears at the start of the install procedure, and the only way to click through it and install the test release is by clicking on a button marked "Install Anyway". If that doesn't constitute fair warning, I don't know what does. If he ignored that warning (or at least clearly didn't take it to heart) and expected a test release to run as well as a production release, he has no one to blame but himself. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs at metacon.ca The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves at unb.ca against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves From lsomike at futzin.com Tue Apr 20 17:49:09 2004 From: lsomike at futzin.com (Mike Klinke) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 12:49:09 -0500 Subject: Expectation Management for Test Releases In-Reply-To: <20040420170540.GA21366@gate.kl-ic.com> References: <20040420160017.7D30473CBA@hormel.redhat.com> <20040420170540.GA21366@gate.kl-ic.com> Message-ID: <200404201249.09461.lsomike@futzin.com> On Tuesday 20 April 2004 12:05, Keith Lofstrom wrote: > This weekend, at the party following LinuxFest Northwest, I found > myself across the table from an avionics software project manager > at Boeing.

I have been able to work around them though. I use up2date and the signature issue is very troublesome. I now download all of the RPMs via FTP and then install them with the rpm freshen flag. At least then I can ignore the machine while it updates, instead of baby sitting it by clicking over and over again. I was very confused as to how all of the various update tools are working together. At least if there was a default tool, it would make me "feel" better.

I was downloading and trying Redhat Linux betas before Fedora existed. Rawhide was available for people who wanted to test bleeding edge stuff. It's all still controlled by RedHat Corp. The process worked OK before, although it was a little more conservative in the past when it came to picking versions of software.

Before, there were several private beta releases to a controlled team before any public betas were made (there were really more like 4-5 betas and a release candidate or two, but only 3 public releases). FC2 is the first without that, and in some ways, it is showing.

It was clear to me, and I'm certainly no genius. I can't recall exactly know *how* I know it, but I do. So something must have tipped me off at some point. Thus, I suspect most other folks know this too (at least subliminally ;-). I never tested a Redhat beta release before Fedora, so I'm not sure how the new process differs from the old, though. But IMHO whether you're talking about a test release or a stable release of a given piece of software, it's arguably a bit disingenuous of the person who ultimately desires absolute stability to not contribute anything back to the testing/development process in the way of code contribution, bug reports, maillist posts, commiseration, a helping hand on a config issue, or whatever. I'd guess that cash even works. I don't know that your acquaintance at Boeing didn't do some of this, but you didn't mention that he did. The fact that he happens to work for a multinational company and apparently has influence over purchasing is probably a consideration for Redhat sales, but it might not mean much to many readers of this list, all of whom are demonstrably trying to make the software better rather than grousing about how lousy it is out-of-band (or maybe they're doing both, but at least they are doing the former too ;-). With that in mind, I can understand why you'd want to see some improvements in expectation management for test releases, but maybe it would be more effective to make the case to Redhat's marketing/sales department rather than to this list, as they are the folks that are more likely to have a "dog in that fight". I'm sure they'd be more than willing to talk with him and give him a little TLC if he's in a position of influence. Personally, I'm pretty amazed at the stability and functionality of Rawhide. I expected much, much worse! It's been rock-solid for me so far.

That being said, I don't remember any big change in rawhide in the past years. It's gotten better and updates are more fluid (thanks to fedora probably), but so far it has avoided all the brutal switches Redhat/Redhat AS/Fedora Core experienced lately. Rawhide was not that different in the autorpm days. Third party sites changed a lot more since apt came out.

Here is the disclaimer, AFTER booting "linux text" (graphic is the same): --------------- Warning! This is pre-release software ! ---------------- Thank you for downloading this pre-release of Fedora Core. This is not a final release and is not intended for use on production systems. The purpose of this release is to collect feedback from testers, and is not suitable for day to day usage. To report feedback, please visit: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla and file a report against 'Fedora Core'. [ Exit ] [ Install Anyway ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's it. That's all. It says nothing about "updates don't work" or "box of broken glass" or "test releases eat babies". And to get to that screen, a hell of a lot of code has to work - at least booting and anaconda and so forth. If the installer isn't working, this message is inaccessable - in effect, no disclamer is provided anywhere in the process, to counterbalance the invitation to participate in testing on the web pages. No suggestion is made to hunt through thousands of list messages to perform an attitude check before joining in the fun. And a potential tester has to spend the hours to days necessary to download the ISOs before this message is even potentially accessable (this posting might help advanced Googlers find it). I am asking to place information on the download page, warning people before they go through the work of downloading and attempting to help with testing that they are not invited to participate unless they understand certain things and meet some qualifications. Potential participants also need to be warned that 30 years of experience testing software in other venues does not necessarily apply here; the rules for Fedora are different. The Boeing gentleman I mentioned wasn't trying to use Fedora on a "production system"; he was attempting to offer his help in testing, as he did professionally for his company for internal and external software. He was attempting to relate his knowledge of hi-rel software testing to what is happening here, and was disappointed about the waste of his efforts. If people like that are not welcome here, at least let them know *why* in a kind way, because their professional impression of us matters to our own future. I can rewrite the webpage at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/test.html to include some of these rules - the HTML style is easy to emulate . I am open to suggestions as to what rules I should offer. Otherwise, I can extract some of the verbiage from the mailing list (do the authors want to be attributed or anonymous?). If some of the attitudes on the mailing list are made obvious to potential testers before downloading then there will be fewer downloads (freeing up the mirrors for the people that need them ) and fewer unqualified testers annoying you with questions. In the longer term, there will be less hostility and more acceptance of Linux. If you believe restricting testers with accessable warnings will result in fewer interruptions and a better general release, here is a chance to test that idea. If you believe in restricting testers through surprises and censure, be prepared for lifelong professional consequences. The web does not forget.

If you 'remove' the older glibc for instance, it will likely render your system unbootable as it removes the only actual copy of numerous files whose names are the same between both versions. Instead try removing the older version with: # rpm -e --justdb glibc-2.3.3-18 glibc-common-2.3.3-18 nscd-2.3.3-18 This removes the information about that package from the rpm database, but does *not* touch the files on disk.

At this point in the FC2 development cycle I can certainly understand shipping with selinux disabled by default. This is unfortunate but completely understandable from the time left. In another message, Jeff Johnson mentioned that the current plan is to scrap the current policy packaging and "mechanism" and redesign it. I have been inclined to run selinux=1, enforcing=1 with FC2T2. While I hit problems, I found that it did mostly work. So, my question: For FC2 final (and really Test3 also), should those of us interested in selinux and willing to put up with some problem continue to install it enabled? If policy is going to be redesigned, is this worth the effort. Naturally, any bugs found in FC2T3 would be reported but I am not sure anyone will have time to address them. Furthermore, if the plan is to redesign things post FC2 (planned for FC3 I assume), little attention will be given to bugs in this old mechanism.

Then I realised - I should have deleted the newer versions - and try 'yum update' again. Since the packages were not in proper install state (rpm -V packagename) I tried to force a reinstall of these packages from yum-cache by: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage --replacepkgs *.rpm Cause for inconsistancy: For me - yum broke (it just hanged haflway through). I was in 'strace' - and didn't know here it was hanging - so I used Ctrl-C - which left duplicate entries in rpmdb for some packages. Perhaps glibc change somehow messed up rpm underneath?

SELinux *will* be included in Fedora Core 2 test 3 and the final Fedora Core 2 release. However, SELinux will be disabled by default. To install with SELinux support, pass 'selinux' to the installer on the command line. (Or, configure it appropriately in kickstart). This was done based on both internal and external testing and feedback of the current Fedora Core SELinux implementation and policy. At this point, we feel that it would be potentially damaging to the aims of both SELinux and Fedora to ship Fedora Core 2 with SELinux enabled by default. We're still committed to the integration of SELinux technology, and we're still working to fix all the bugs we find. Evaluation of when the right time isto switch it on by default will continue. What does this mean for those testing with SELinux? Please, continue! We're still looking to shake out all the issues and make it work.

Yeah.. it must have been throuh one pass - (or more) before the hang. I didn't capture the log - so can't say where it was. After manually doing 'rpm -e' on the older versions - I did a 'rpm -V' and found missing files - mostly doc stuff.. Looking at my comand history - 'strace' was one of the packages that was being updated - so perhaps 'strace yum update strace' doesn't work. I'm curious to know if the original poster landed in this same situation without yum..

Of course this needs an --allmatches for the --erase step and make sure you don't remove any packages RPM depends on. I ended up doing this for *many* packages after trying to update my existing i386 installation to the AMD64 architecture. Maybe RPM could be enhanced to do the first two steps in one operation. I would also appreciate a rpm.static binary to aid recovery. As posted before I am still getting --verify errors (mostly concerning the timestamp of translations or documentation files) for some packages which come in both 32 and 64 bit versions, e.g. popt.

There's no ethical way that I can see to release software without full exposure to uncontrolled environments. The most valid, useful feedback for stability, performance, and usability per task comes from beta testers who are generally unrelenting in their bluntness. Release Candidates are probably what your acquaintance from Boeing is familiar with. Those aren't betas. They're feature locked, meant to influence opinoin and generally have performance monitoring code left in the system. In my day, betas were very tightly controlled at Microsoft. What most customers perceive today as a beta is a release candidate. Now, as a director of marketing for a software company, I'm often found begging for beta testers. Real, old school, mean as a snake and rude as a fart in church beta testers. They're hard to find, and really hard to continue to attract. The pre-boom (and pre-FASB changes) that allowed us to give our software as free gifts have killed a lot of the participation. The increasing complexity of software and generally poor management of beta programs has frustrated the real quality testers. Modern beta testing has been taken over by professional beta testers. While my experience with Fedora has been very uneven, there is a heck of a charge out of getting a problematic system to install and run. I don't think there's as good of monitoring and trace/reporting tools in Fedora that would really help Red Hat and the Fedora Project understand the behavior of the code "in the wild". That doesn't mean that I enjoyed seeing my very stable FC1 system wiped out by an errant FC2T2 install. But, it's part of the risk of what real beta testing is. Sure, I have a vested interest in participating. Red Hat is my preferred linux distro and I want to see Fedora succeed. So, I participate. What I think we need is a return to basics, an education on what it means to beta test and we need old school folks to run these programs again to make them valuable and to attract qualtiy testers and to train the next generation of code curmudgeons.

With that warning, I had to give it a shot. (curiousity) As someone who doesn't program. This sounds like it could be resolved by test3. (If only device permissions for regular user.)

Yes, we very much strongly encourage those who are very interested in SELinux and comfortable enough to work with it to continue installing with it enabled and in enforcing mode as well as continue to help us work out the problems as they're discovered. That's why we're leaving the possibility of enabling it there. It's just that it's not ready for the masses to consume yet, and in doing so, we'd just end up with a Fedora Core release that was less stable and with many apparent bugs due to SELinux. We'll probably go through this again with FC3 where I plan to return things to enforcing by default in the development tree very soon after the release of FC2. As far as redesign of policy, there's discussion around developing a less strict policy, ie, one that allows users in general to do things but takes the approach of locking down specific services. But the hope is to do this in such a way that you can trivially switch back and forth between the policies with a simple toggle and thus any testing on the stricter policy we have now will still be quite useful. Think of it along the lines of the old Medium vs High firewall distinction.

OK, I will continue installing enforcing although I may hedge my bets and do some testing with selinux disabled also (to make sure all applications I really need to work do work). I just wanted to make sure that any new problems involving policy in with FC2T3 or FC2-final will at least be looked at ... no use testing this stuff if problems will be ignored. > > It's just that it's not ready for the masses to consume yet, and in > doing so, we'd just end up with a Fedora Core release that was less > stable and with many apparent bugs due to SELinux.

Think of it > along the lines of the old Medium vs High firewall distinction. Mmm ... In Jeff Johnson's message http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2004-April/msg00268.html he implies there there will be some redesign of how policy is implemented ("the entire mechanism is gonna be scrapped and redone") ... at least that is my understanding of what he said. The current situation with a single policy package (resulting in policy and policy-sources runtime packages) which covers everything does not address packages outside of Fedora Core very well. If an Extra or 3rd party package adds some policy definitions (to policy-courses files), does the policy get rebuilt by the Extra/3rd-party package? This would require every system to include policy-sources and the other packages necessary to rebuild the policy from source rules. It is this "redesign" that I was wondering about. Will enough attention be paid to problems with the existing policy ... will there be sufficient time available to allow developers the time to do any redesign if they need to look at fixing problems? Or, will existing problems be ignored in the interest of working on the redesign? This is NOT intended as a flame of any kind but the track record of addressing existing problems is not good. My own experience (on FC1) with gnome-panel (draw problem) and gftp is that with upstream fixes available, official packages took far too long to be reasonable (See discussions about old bugs on the fedora-devel-list). If selinux/policy bug reports will be addressed (not necessarily solved), then I will continue trying to work with enforcing=1. However, I do worry about the commitment to addressing bugs versus redesigning things. I am an engineer and can certainly understand that it can be much more fun to work on a new design which just does not have the problems of a current implementation rather than fixing problems in the current implementation. -- Gene From fedora at andrewfarris.com Wed Apr 21 09:54:48 2004 From: fedora at andrewfarris.com (Andrew Farris) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 02:54:48 -0700 Subject: Add remove packages/packages not found In-Reply-To: <40862F63.3030103@columbus.rr.com> References: <40862F63.3030103@columbus.rr.com> Message-ID: <1082541288.16326.16.camel@CirithUngol> On Wed, 2004-04-21 at 04:22 -0400, j wrote: > I'm runnin Core 2 Test 2. and had to load and install most of the .rpm's > because the iso's wouldn't work.

I'd put money on there being alpha/beta versions of Windows that he didn't see that wouldn't have booted on some systems. The point is that with Linux, you see *every* release, no matter how many rough edges there may be left. Sure we do everything we can to make it as painless as possible, but there's always going to be a number of systems that are problematic. I personally got quite a few complaints after we screwed up test1 so that it wouldn't boot on 586's. After telling people 'ok we screwed up' in bugzilla reports, a majority of personal mail I got as follow ups were "This is just typical of Red Hat blah blah", "I cant believe you tried to deprecate 586s" etc. Even though we did nothing of the sort, and it was a honest mistake, a lot of people went on the offensive and assumed we did it on purpose. We do everything we can including testing rawhide daily to make sure it's at least installable, but we're only human, and mistakes happen. > And it is hard to argue about the nature of good code development with > a person whose career is based on successfully producing some of the > world's most reliable and mission-critical code. I find it a little disturbing if they're considering using Fedora for anything mission critical, but I'll give the benefit of doubt and assume that he was looking at Fedora for personal reasons rather than professional reasons. > Many people, including professional software people heavily oriented > towards testing, may download this code without understanding what > they are in for. It's arguable how 'professional' they are if they don't do some basic research first to find out what it is they're testing.

Nothing ever works first time, for any distributor, of any software, on any platform. Peoples expectations of a piece of software is something that we have no direct control over, so other than amendments to documentation, I don't think there's a great deal we can do, other than continue to do our best to ship _usable_ test releases. If you've feedback on how to improve wording on the fedora website, I'm sure the folks who deal with that content will be glad to hear about it. > A decade from now, I don't want to ride on an airplane controlled by > Windows CE-RT, because in 2004 we pissed off the wrong person at Boeing.

However I would have thought that something like a existing USB hotplug issue might have taken precedence over new features like SELinux, or am I the only person where hotplug doesn't work any more :-( (btw. It still works on this hardware if I plug my RH9 disk back in.) > For help your best address is here or > maybe fedora-devel-list (or fedora-list once FC2 is final). I have, and gotten no _useful_ responses todate (other than 'hotplug is in the kernel') that might lead me in any direction that allows me to help to debug the code. I am trying to help RedHat on this bug/issue. Heck i'll even submit a patch, but so far far I haven't found any documentation or help, on how this subsystem is supposed to work.

I tried x86_64, too, and had to make a fresh install, because I completely messed up things during my tests. I choosed to install via ftp the most current devel tree. I deleted all existing partitions and started from scratch. When I wanted to create Volumes inside a LVM PV partition I got the message "Not supported on this platform" (but I could create the LVM PV). I posted it here, but never got a feedback, unfortunately.

You are right, I make several --bind mounts for special vsftpd things, and I have to unmount them by script before shutdown. I think thats normal behaviour of linux.

I tried swapping in an Atheros wireless card, which fits... but the BIOS says: "104-Unsupported wireless network device detect" and I have to shut down and remove the card to get any futher. It sure looks like HP is deliberately disabling non-HP wireless cards, given that explicit message. Yes, I know about the Linuxant wrapper drivers, they only work in 32-bit Linux. I'm running 64-bit Fedora Core Development. Any ideas? Or am I as SOL as I think I am? Do all notebooks do this? Does miniPCI just require more BIOS support than regular PCI does on desktops? BTW: I have 64-bit Fedora Core Development running on this notebook. FC2 Test 2 didn't work, but I'd expect Test 3 to work great. The zv5000z is very similar ot the Compaq R3000z.

When approvals are done for wireless they have to be done including card and antenna, as a result vendors using this setup have to lock to 'approved' products. Now its certainly true some of them make good business use of the lockin too Ask HP what the Linux supported and approved card option is.

For what its worth - IBM thinkpads do the same bios rejection of non-IBM cards. And I couldn't get madwifi working with rawhide (works prettywell with FC1) Others have success with madwifi and rawhide.

Since they are identical, there is no conflict, but as soon as you try to upgrade one arch, and not the other, the file would no longer be identical. As a result, you need to update both i386 and x86_64 at the same time. Also, is this running FC2? If so, where are you pointing for your updates? I have been updating daily from yum, and not run across this yet when running against a complete sync (check the package count, if it is incomplete, find another mirror). I have run across the ocasional bad dep issue, but all of them so far have been valid package bugs, not yum issues.

I did make a somewhat determined effort to locate a moderately technical article on the implementation of SELinux in FC2T2 and was unsuccessful. Following a link from the unoffical FAQ got me to a several-years-old article, but that was unhelpful. Has anyone written an article that describes the implementation in FC2T2? Something that says, in effect, here is SELinux, here's what it does, how you interact with it, how the policies work, how they are modified, ...??

Having too many applications can be confusing. A new user (especially one that comes from another OS or from an old Linux distribution version), would be confused and might not make the optimal choice for his situation. Think of how many music players we have, how many editors, how many mail clients. Should all these be in the equivalent of the now deprecated X-Red-Hat-Base? Should we even show all the applications we have installed or just the popular ones? A Microsoft style hide unused entries would be practical? Are there any other solutions, such as 2/3 level menu tree? Try and suggest also some other QUESTIONS and a date for a virtual meeting on irc to find/discuss answers to these. I don't recommend answering these questions right here/now. An irc chat would be more appropriate. Also if you want to have a chat on this, think of the time differences around the world (I'm in GMT+2), because it's evening when you guys have lunch, and it's waaaay past mid-night (closer to morning) when it's evening for you.

The answer is generally to just move stuff out of Core, and into Extras. Eventually, if the user explicitly decides to install 20 mail clients, that's their own problem, but the default OS install shouldn't do this to them, yes.

A single distribution for both home user and servers. Many of these questions are traditionally answered through user studies, and I think there might be some confusion about who the customer is.

Personally, I'm quite happy with the RH9/Fedora Menue structure. But: Red Hat is disappointing power users (or at least well informed users) much more as it is necessary. As an example: desktop context menue (right mouse click). With RH8 you could configure it to show the application menue. This functionality was removed with RH9. With Core 1 you had an entry to start a new nautilus window and to mount/unmount CD and Floppy. This functionality has been removed in Core 2. Now you have to move around your windows to access the new desktop icon. Quite inconvenient! You could have preserved this functionality in the context menue without confusing the novice user. @Bill Nottingham: Is there a chance to get the Core 1 context menu back?

After using rpm -e --justdb for glibc and for openvpn I'm getting closer (I think). I used this to get yum to stop being confused about the duplicated packages for glibc and for openvpn (x86_64 version + i386/i686 version). Also I think xorg-x11-libs. What I'm doing: yum update I have a brand new virgin FC2T2 system, with maybe a few updates. When I did the initial install, I selected "install everything". I am NOT asking to just update x86_64 packages. I said just "update". I think yum seems to be deciding to only update x86_64 packages, but I didn't say it should.

After I erased one version (older one) and tried to get updates, it seemed to be trying to download the rpms. For some reason, on the ncsu mirror, none of the glibc packages were located in the directory. They must have been in the headers, but not actually there. When I checked the fedora.redhat.com mirror, there were versions on there glibc-2.3.3-20 instead of glibc-2.3.3-22 (etc). In contrast hiwaay mirror seems to be working fine. I have glibc-2.3.3-22 and friends successfully installed on this machine.

Is there any info on how to use debuginfo? I want to debug a shared lib extension I'm working on for python. I don't seem to be able to set a breakpoint in it - I'm guessing it's because /usr/bin/python is stripped. Would the python-debuginfo package help?

I am http downloading a fresh install to see if the sound test works on first try and now to see if the scanner works as a normal user and as root. At least the scanner issue gives more to test than just the sound test on first boot. The system that I'm fresh installing on was my SELinux test machine that had many multiple package versions and would only allow X to work up to a certain kernel version. SELinux was active with the later kernel version but not active with the earlier kernel version. A link to the scanner bugzilla report will be helpful. Scanning seems to be the only non-SELinux related problem with the current rawhide mix, barring incomplete content on some mirrors.

I still had this problem with xorg-x11-6.7.0-0.5, however it did subside when I disabled xscreensaver. I previously tried disabling dpms, using a blank screen only, but neither changed the problem. This was using 'nv', however I did have nvidia drivers installed (so I cannot be certain it is unrelated). The problem seems to have stopped now without any significant system changes (I'm trying to say I believe your problem, and mine, may be due to strange configurations). A similar problem (in that I think xscreensaver and dpms are involved) is a 1/4 - 1/2 second black screen that occurs randomly even when there is constant input on keyboard and mouse.

You have to move your program windows around to get access to the icon. Right click onto a free desktop space anywhere is much more convenient.

But even as a power user: If you have to write a book or a report, you may use openoffice (instead of emacs and tex) and you need a graphical desktop. And disabling nautilus desktop drawing feature doesn't give you back the features I'm missing.

The xorg ati driver doesn't work with my video card, so I've been using the vesa driver. What about you, Karl-Olov: ati or vesa? Haven't gotten around to debugging it, but it has been an issue since FC2T2 and with every rawhide kernel and xorg since, as I've updated.

The KNewsticker line is not moving as long as the hang goes on, and after something around 8-15 seconds everything is ok. All keyboard.hits I made while the Konqueror hangs are typed in when the system "comes back", and while it hangs I am able to start things like the process table through ctrl+esc (but not through menu). Its reproducable everytime, but it seems to depend on the type of field where you type in. Does anyone else has this problem?

I always found it a bit cumbersome to first look for free background or having to use the "hide all windows" button, then to click somewhere on the background to mount/umount CD-ROMs, USB sticks and the like. Now I use the Disk Mounter applet (Add to Panel->Utility->Disk Mounter) and this really cuts it, i.e. to mount/umount I always click on the same location of my desktop.

Personally I find all of this rather "mute".

Or at least, not by a lot a lot of people. Autofs is working fine, you can do some cool things with it. It automounts things when you touch the mountpoint, and auto-umounts them (with a sync) after a preset amount of time is passed without anything on the mounted filesystem getting touched. The script mentioned in my sig makes use of it and I did not have any problems. Now if there was a GUI to control autofs ... maybe there's a little project for me or someone else. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAh7npjKeDCxMJCTIRAhMeAJ46vjtveVS+Wxi1E2T6tYMm19K7ewCfbREG DrJRCmSJOKz+Ow1ct35jx1s= =lUvd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From redhat-jc at insight.rr.com Thu Apr 22 11:35:19 2004 From: redhat-jc at insight.rr.com (Jim Cornette) Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 07:35:19 -0400 Subject: problem with ftp installation [x86_64] In-Reply-To: <1082618391.5248.137.camel@littlePiet> References: <1082618391.5248.137.camel@littlePiet> Message-ID: <4087ADF7.4040100@insight.rr.com> Peter Boy wrote: > I have to make a fresh installation and wish to install the current > rawhide tree via ftp installation.

However, I had to manually add the user "privoxy" when reinstalling; so, something seems to be not quite right with the pre-install script of the rpm. Thanks!

Even a monster like eclipse can be launched and run using the sdk vm. I have Selinux in permissive mode. However it didn't install properly with one of the earlier kernels so I used my fc1 installation. After a few updates of rpm i reinstalled it and have been using it for a few weeks.

In my case the sound adapter is on the motherboard (ASUS SK8V with Opteron 140): 00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C/VT8235 PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06) I gave up and disabled the adapter on the motherboard. Plugged in an Ensoniq ES1371 and it works fine. There appears to be something basically broken with the snd-via82xx. I posted stuff here and on the alsa mailing list but got nothing. There is still an bugzilla report open on this but I am not hopeful on a solution any time soon. In my situation I was able to use another sound adapter. If you have this situation on a laptop, you may be SOL. I believe the OSS stuff is still in the kernel but not enabled. You may be able to create your own kernel with OSS enabled and ALSA disabled. However, I am not sure how the rest of the stuff (e.g., kudzu) will handle things. -- Gene From aespinoza at concretec.com.bo Thu Apr 22 13:05:08 2004 From: aespinoza at concretec.com.bo (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Antonio_Jos=E9_Espinoza_Palenque?=) Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 09:05:08 -0400 Subject: ipsec on FC2 In-Reply-To: <20040421230643.34706.qmail@web60304.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20040421230643.34706.qmail@web60304.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <4087C304.70607@concretec.com.bo> Terry wrote: >> The kernel 2.6.x has an IPSEC implementation >>already... you don't >>have to pacth anything... for more information about >>the userspace tools >>and some other things check www.ipsec-howto.org >> >>Antonio Espinoza >> >> > > >That site is not found? > >===== >Terry > > > > >__________________________________ >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo!

As we see, things are heavily dependent from one's working habits. (I use dual head xinerama, having to move the mouse from the right screen to the left, where the panel is located, is not convenient either :-) ) My point is: Add functionality, but let alternative ways of doing something functional, as long as it doesn't overcrowd a control (the latter condition should be considered very very important). E.g. let the open nautilus and the drives item in the desktop context menu and create the new computer icon on the desktop. And, perhaps, create the Disk Mounter applet in the panel. All of them are independent of each other: Filling the panel with the drive mounter doesn't mess up the desktop and its icons nor the context menue. A new user might at first use the desktop icon, it is the most visible way.

As for the right-click menu, it ought to remain as it is -- a _context_ menu for the root window, having to do with things in the root window. If it were up to me, "New Terminal" wouldn't be there since that doesn't have anything to do with the root window. OTOH, mount and umount commands *should* be there because mounted discs show up on the root window, so a user could reasonably expect the context menu to support those functions. However, we are talking about this in the wrong place. This sounds to me like an upstream issue that should be taken up with the GNOME folks.

Then you are suffering from my problem, that the USB hotplug does not detect the hot insertion of your device. I suspect you will find the device works if you boot with it plugged in. (and lsusb will show it). You can unplug it and (lsusb will show it gone), but you won't be able to plug it back in. I _have_ bugzilla'ed it.

I MUST use the "active-filter" option wich is not compiled in the pppd that ships with FC1 so I have to download the SRPM and recompile. BUT: After recompilation of pppd with this option enabled, the daemon STOPS working/colaborating with wvdial (exactly the same problems with RH9 - for some reason after recompiling pppd, wvdial stops connecting to the modem) So I have to make a whole MANUAL workaround to have the pppd interface started on demand (actually I have to install and setup the interface via the GUI for network setup and then change the /etc/ppp/peer/.... script not to use wvdial but chat and also remove the wvdial options from the /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-.... Could we have the pppd compiled by default with filter option set to Yes AND tested against wvdial usage? thank's theo _______________________________________________________________________ Theophanis K.

First I tried to reburn it first on the same media and then on different media. I then tried redownloading the first iso and it still did not work. So then I thought maybe it's my cdr drive(a sumsung 52x24x52 16xdvd read) So I then dropped it into another one of my PCs just to see if it would boot and it did. So I grabbed a spare cd-rom drive(a lite-on) and installed it on the first PC and it still would not boot. So now I'm wondering if it is the rest of my hardware. Now granted the second pc had a different cdr also(the one that did boot the cd, a HP cdr)but I can't imagine this cd not working on both the lite-on and the samsung, but working on the HP, that's alot of models to have problems with.

When using iptables rules that worked very well in 2.4, such as: /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 10.1.1.23 -d bastion --dport 21 -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 10.1.1.23 -d bastion -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s bastion -d 10.1.1.23 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT where "bastion" is the local system and 10.1.1.23 the remote client, I am finding in the FC2 2.6 kernel that traffic is blocked and SYNs from arbitrary 10.1.1.23 ports to arbitrary bastion ports are being blocked. If I accept all incoming TCP connections from 10.1.1.23 (ie drop --dport 21 from the first rule) everything works fine. My suspicion is that the state module is not currectly identifying RELATED traffic for PASV ftp. Has anyone else noticed similar problems?

Right, the disc just doesn't boot on some machines. The problem is BIOS-related, so changing drives or other components won't help.

I don't have logical volumes set up so there is no reason to start it. I don't have nfsv4 configured, and I don't want it. chkconfig is supposed to manage idpmapd, statd, and the others. However, I do want nfs. The nfs script starts idmapd based on whether /usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd exists and is executable. If I specifically disable the service using chkconfig, some other script has no business starting it anyway. I also specifically disabled iptables. However, something is loading iptables anyway.

Would you mind running a small test for me? Install postgresql-devel and postgresql-jdbc rpms; grab http://beansman.sourceforge.net/beta/beans-0.07.tar.gz, fish the spec file out of this tarball, remove the BuildPreReq for java-devel (unless by pure coincidence you've installed the SDK using an rpm with a suitable requires:), and try to build this sucker. Just running javac against this sucker guarantees an oops from the 2.4 x86_64 kernel, at least on my box. It's possible that this code won't build at all with the new postgres in FC2test.

This is easily seen by starting "glxgears", which freezes the machine before the first frame of the OpenGL animation is drawn. Fedora News Updates #10 > http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/issue10.shtml indicates that it is 4G/4G which breaks GLX for i8xx boards (referring to an email by Mark McLoughlin). Is this indeed the problem? Or is it only a guess? (In which case, I am happy to check by recompiling a kernel without 4G/4G.) It just seems a bit silly to forgo GLX for 4G/4G on a laptop that cannot take more than 2G anyway. Is there any other information on the problem?

I have two Debian machines, one RedHat 8 machine, and a Fedora Core 2 test 2 machine. One of the Debian boxes ("new") runs an nfs server. I can mount it just fine from the second Debian system, as well as the RH8 system. However, when i try to mount it from the FC2 machine, i get this: [root at klorel root]# mount new:/home /mnt/new mount to NFS server 'new' failed: server is down. If i actually bring the nfs server offline, i get: [root at klorel root]# mount new:/home /mnt/new mount to NFS server 'new' failed. so i know it's actually connecting to it. Also note: [root at klorel root]# mount -v new:/home /mnt/new mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon mount to NFS server 'new' failed: server is down. RPC Error: 0 ( Success ) I have googled for days and found only the references from this lists archives, and no one in #fedora (freenode) has encountered this problem. With their help i've tried many different things, and nothing has helped. Also, nothing is logged (/var/log/messages), before you ask. And: [root at klorel root]# rpcinfo -p new program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 871 status 100024 1 tcp 874 status 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100005 1 udp 743 mountd 100005 2 udp 743 mountd 100005 1 tcp 746 mountd 100005 2 tcp 746 mountd [root at klorel root]# showmount -e new Export list for new: /home 10.0.0.102 /home 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 /home 192.168.0.2/255.255.0.0 Anyone figure this out? -Ra From mfrisch at isurfer.ca Fri Apr 23 16:24:23 2004 From: mfrisch at isurfer.ca (mfrisch at isurfer.ca) Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2004 12:24:23 -0400 (EDT) Subject: More NFS Problems In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7278.199.71.120.67.1082737463.squirrel@www.isurfer.ca> > Anyone figure this out?

If you have X on your NFS server, fire up /usr/bin/ethereal and have a quick look (just start a capture, perform the operation that fails, and stop the capture). You can then browse the network traffic and check RPC error codes on the NFS/MOUNTD replies or perhaps DNS issues. Try it! It's not that difficult and is an invaluable debugging tool for this type of problem.

I'm off to Italy for two weeks so that's the earliest chance I'd get to order one for my 6805. I spoke with emachines support who told me that any minipci card should work, but wouldn't make any promises. Maybe someone could explain if there's any way to determine the existance of a whitelist in the bios other than plugging the card in and seeing what happens. $80 won't break me, but I'd rather spend the money on something I can use instead of an ugly little paperweight.

I had them a bit ago, then they went away after an update, now they are back with the latest up to date dev release. Using NFS between Fedora and Fedora works just fine, but between (Fedora and Solaris) and (Fedora and Redhat) it hangs. The Fedora machines are clients to the Solaris and Redhat NFS servers. I have selinux disabled in the config file and kernel option.

I have the Windows XP boot loader installed in the MBR, FC1 has grub loaded on /dev/hda2 with LBA enabled, and FC2 has grub loaded on /dev/hda4 with LBA enabled. I then ran from Windows XP: bootpart 2 LBA c:\linux.bin "Fedora Core 1" bootpart 4 LBA c:\linuxtest.bin "Fedora Core 2" which makes it possible for me to chain load grub from the appropriate linux partition and boot into whichever that version of Fedora Core. I have not had any problems, per se but every time I enter Partition Magic I am getting the error message: http://www.montleon.com/pm1.png If I click no it continues, if I click yes I get these: http://www.montleon.com/pm2.png http://www.montleon.com/pm3.png And from then on when I start PM8 I get this messages: http://www.montleon.com/pm4.png These occur whether I create and format the partition with PM8 (but only after installing FC2), or I create it via Disk Druid and FC2 and format it during install. I've managed to do some really bad stuff with selinux that have made it easier to reload about 4 times over now, and each time I delete and recreate the partition PM8 stops complaining reinstall FC2. Interestingly enough from its perspective the partition is also full (http://www.montleon.com/pm5.png) from the time I reboot from installing FC2 on, even though when I reboot and log into FC2 and look it's more like 51% full., and I cannot access it with the tool that also comes with PM8. This is what it should and does look like for FC1: http://www.montleon.com/pm6.png and for FC2: http://www.montleon.com/pm7.png I have no idea how much of this is in any way related to what you are looking at, or if it is a totally separate issue perhaps to do with PM8 rather than FC2, but it has definately struck me as unusual, but either way I hope you find this information useful: '/sbin/parted /dev/hda print' on Fedora Core 1: [root at jmontleon-note root]# /sbin/parted /dev/hda print Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-38154.375 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 22266.562 primary ntfs boot 2 22266.562 29959.453 primary ext3 3 29959.453 30461.484 primary linux-swap 4 30461.484 38154.375 primary ext3 Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

At this point the mechanism is in good shape and policy is evolving. Since policy is one of the most complex and difficult aspects it does make sense. Management of policy may require changes to mechanism if solutions in rpm and other tools can not be constructed. The current policy efforts are building a 'convenient' baseline policy that does not impose too large a learning curve. This is the hard part and many compromises are being made at this time. It is the large learning curve that will keep the default 'off'. Perhaps SELinux is ready but the prime time audience is not ;-) To me the most troubling efforts are the interactions with "sudo" use, pam and "consolehelper" style historic solutions for administration and security. One example of this is that there is currently no 1:1 mapping of policy and "consolehelper" links. These historic tasks require elevated permissions and constitute lots of risks. A policy to allow these "consolehelper" helper tools to continue running as they have in the past is not good security science. The same is true for the pam controls related to them. "sudo" is a more difficult task than the "consolehelper" pile of actions. There is no way to generate a list of activities to write policy for. A find can locate all the links to "consolehelper" as will an inspection of the 90 some activities in /etc/pam.d/.

If you choose mail server from the server options, sendmail should probably be the default - there are a lot of third party milters etc. that really do need sendmail. But unless you are really running a _real_ mail server - postfix in a chroot jail is a better choice for a default MTA.

If you do not pick an mta you get sendmail. If you look at it crosswise you get sendmail, but is is possible to install without sendmail.

If you mean the recent accessibility support for Gnome, regretably no. The gnopernicus screen reader is not yet a very usable product via TTS (Text to Speech).

The number of testers and the net size of package changes is generating a bandwidth requirement that effectively requires all of us Fedora folk to use a mirror site. So how do we inform the world that Fedora depends on mirrors? Perhaps the default yum and up2date configuration files could have a empty distribution pointer that has a hint style name. One that points to an empty yum location. Perhaps something like this in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources yum UseMirrorsPlease http://fedora.redhat.com/download/YumEmptyMirrorReminder To see what I am thinking, add this line to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources yum Please_Use_A_Mirror_Site http://tenegg.com/YumEmptyUse_A_Mirror Or add these lines to /etc/yum.conf [Use_A_Mirror_Reminder] name=Fedora Core Mirror Reminder baseurl=http://tenegg.com/YumEmptyUse_A_Mirror This might seem weak at first. However, it is a start that is easy to do and could be effective when backed up with more content in an index.html file and some google links.... See this simple minded prototype, no apologies for my lack of bandwidth. http://tenegg.com/YumEmptyUse_A_Mirror/index.html Later, -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

I butchered a Netgear WG311 desktop adapter based on the Atheros and my M6807 boots and 'lspci' identifies the card. (there's a minipci card under that shield, but it's soldered in where the side clips for the socket are. A little bit of solder wick and you're home free.) The WG311 only sports one antenna connection on the minipci board however. (there is a pad for another, but where would I get one of the connectors?) I have not even tried to actually make it work yet though. I got lazy when I got my WPC11 working in the PCI slot. Which brings me to another topic near and dear to me. I just got the M6807 installed this morning using the x86_64 tree from yesterday (20040423) and I recompiled the kernel srpm to support the eMachines M680x machines. I haven't made my rpms public yet however. Is there sufficient interest in my doing so along with DIY instructions?

For what it's worth - I had no issues with fcrontab and standard crontabs. The /etc/cron.schedule stuff even worked flawlessly with an appropriate systab. It supported every "standard cron" option I ever used, and eliminated the need completely to use anacron.

Not to start a religious war but I suspect there are a lot of postfix users that would dispute that. I do not run a high volume site so I cannot comment from first hand experience but I have seen some discussions in the past about resource requirements of sendmail vs postfix and the people involved seem to think postfix wins hands down.

If sendmail is really in trouble then I would submit that that is an indication of how the market in general feels about their product.

I don't know - they tried some others too, and sendmail was the only one that performed decently under heavy load. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/ From ernesto at ornl.gov Sat Apr 24 12:50:31 2004 From: ernesto at ornl.gov (Ernest L.

The best description of the sendmail.cf syntax I've heard is that it looks like line noise. ;-) That said, yes, m4 has made life much easier for sendmail configuration. However, m4 has it's own weirdness (what's with the bizarre quoting syntax, man). In the area of a good GUI, Sendmail, Inc. has a fairly decent (but closed source, of course) web configuration GUI. We used it at one company I did a consulting gig at and were quite happy with it. Of course, that doesn't help the world of FOSS. Performance-wise, as much of a sendmail partisan I am, I have to confess that at another consulting gig I did, we ran some high volume (mostly mailing list) performance tests between postfix, sendmail, and one other who's name escapes me at the moment. Postfix and sendmail both beat the pants off the third one (dang, I wish I could remember what it was), but postfix beat sendmail as well. We even ran sendmail with multiple queues and although it helped, it wasn't enough to take the lead. Of course, that's only one data point and I don't remember the details of the tests we did. But personally, as an earlier poster implied, I think it really depends on your local configuration. The performance difference isn't great enough to ditch sendmail in all situations and sendmail will win in some environments, but any large site will need to do testing with both (and maybe others) before making a decision. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.

There is probably some improvements to CIFS and such in it. The only thing that you need to use an older version (3.0.2a is fine) of the 'smbmount' executable. Thats where this particular bug is in. I just put the 3.0.2a version of smbmount in a temp directory and call that one instead of the 3.0.3pre version thats in /usr/bin. It's not the cleanest way to do it (smbmount is normally called from inside mount, not directly like i do now) but its just a workaround for now anyways. All other SMB tools in 3.0.3pre like smbclient etc work fine and are unaffected. Cheers.

For some reason , the images would ask for a driver to access the disk. You're lucky you got it to boot , as many people have had problems trying to boot those images..

I am nowhere near a kernel expert, so I do not know the details for certain, but somebody explained to me that the upstream kernel still does not fully have all race conditions fixed and preemption is still known to cause crashes with certain drivers quite readily. So that is a safety reason. Also some kernel devleopers have said that there is "NO BENEFIT" (their emphasis) in enabling it, because scheduling latencies are already much better in our latest kernel. If you study the scheduler you will see that "fairness" for real-time processes is dramatically improved by default. Anecdotally, xmms for the first time no longer causes any skips in sound for me even during heavy disk and processor usage. Unfortunately some cases that I have seen the latest kernel fail with scheduling latencies seem to be the fault of specific drivers for specific hardware. Such problems are upstream issues and probably will not be fixed unless somebody cares enough to dedicate time to it. In any case, nothing stops you from building your own kernels. It may even be preferred depending on your unique situation. With Open Source you have the CHOICE, and be thankful for that. > > Also, a side question -- what are the benefits of the > "4G/4G" changes (simple explaination) -- right now I > am unable to use it turned on on my portable -- so I > was wondering what I am missing out on :p > I was told that 4G/4G enables i686 to work much better with certain types of software (I don't remember the details), and with the more recent vdso patches added to the kernel much performance is regained. What specifically is the issue you are seeing? Is it one of the two or so known reported issues? Please provide very specific details and testing information.

These fixes were extremely simple and very well tested, and corrects the very common problem of user applications not using the chosen browser or mail client when URLs are clicked. Specifically these changes I want to backport: * gnome-vfs2: Default gconf schema that defines the "about:" type. * gnome-vfs2: Default gconf schema pointing to mozilla, so default Desktop is guaranteed to run a browser that is installed. * control-center: Preferred Application chooser sets http, https, about, and unknown gconf keys. * control-center: Preferred Application chooser shows only installed applications, rather than a hard coded list. (Note that I need help verifying that there were no end-user visible string changes that would complicate things for non-English locales. I suspect this is not an issue for this simple application.) * htmlview: Use the above defined Preferred Applications in the "right" way. * htmlview: Avoids known infinite loops. * htmlview: Prevents invalid browser configurations, forcing user to choose a different browser. These backported improvements also will simplify transition to FC2 later for user desktop profiles, as all behavior should behave identically. I am warning the lists a week in advance so that people may suggest other "known good" small fixes for these three packages. For example someone suggested a minor x86_64 crash fix for control-center. Please suggest other fixes.

Microsoft makes available for download a free beta of Windows XP for x86_64 now. Try grabbing the needed dll's out of that and make a w64codecs.tar.gz and see if mplayer will do the right thing. If not, get them a copy of the codecs and let them do their magic. I put a link to the Windows XP beta on my new home page. http://www.ckloiber.com and no, I can't design a better looking page.

Pre-empt is vaguely useful for audio but not much else. It also slows performance a lot and was primarly merged to help find SMP bugs.

It also happens to help find certain classes of kernel bug. The laptop reboot problem should have been fixed nowdays btw. You might want to turn it off if building for performance.

Message-ID: <20040425174939.96291.qmail@web90102.mail.scd.yahoo.com> I wrote a script that was very useful for me for logging AVC errors. It pulls the AVC errors out of the message.* files and puts it in a seperate file. It also allows you to log to the same files when you do a "fixfiles relabel".

The other option is to call it more often as a cron job.

Basically I had a logitec camera (with mic) installed through USB. I also have a Creative Audigy 2 zs sound card installed on that computer. The only references setup in the modprobe.conf file is the audigy sound driver (as sound-card-0). When I brought up alsamixer to see -- it defaulted to 0 which is only the mic on the logitec camera. I unplugged the camera to see if the sound would 'automatically' configure then.... and it does. It seems that somewhere along the line the USB camera mic is setup as the 'sound card' that is 'tested' during install -- and of course it does not work -- since there is no sound coming out.

I am guessing that you set them in an rc file. If that is the case then pam is re-setting permissions each time someone logs in/out. You should set the permissions in the config file /etc/sysconfig/console.perms. Modify the sound class permissions as follows: # permission definitions 0660 0660 root.sound You can do the same with the v4l, camera, scanner, etc. classes. My wife and I use this configuration and have had no problems with audio or TV (she does not use the scanner or camera).

(the above should work for a "unmodified policy site" since the policy rpm installs the .rpmnew files). 3. reboot in single user mode 4. run "fixfiles relabel" 5. reboot multi user. I've occasionally run into the situation where "fixfiles" hangs. I've previously bugzilla'ed this. I just reboot single user, redo the "fixfiles" and it usually completes. I'm not really certain of the status of the files in /etc/security/selinux/src/.... so I guess we need to wait for the fixed rpm.

The problems are quite the same since Fedora Core 1 Test 1: - program crashes in various situation, no pattern recognizable - feedback for the user is very sparse (esp. during the step "testing package set / solving RPM inter-dep". You never know weather it is still working of crashed already - quite sensitive to bandwith problems / overloaded servers - quite unusable for doing high volume updates in one step just to name a few. Those are the days of a robust and fairly usable program for access of Red Hat Network. Given the fact that these are long lasting problems, fixing them is obviously a hard task. Wouldn't it be better and more efficient to discard up2date for Fedora and dedicate it to the Enterprise line and Red Hat Network? (where it used to serve very well) and to develop a graphical front end for yum, given the fact that yum is much more robust. And we would need (and maintain) only one config file.

I think there is great value to keep it local directory, apt and yum repository capable and ready to do RHN network retrieval, if you have an RHN account. Yum and apt, as active alternative updating tools, should carry their own GUI tool versions or be developed with close attention being paid to any improvements or removing of capabilities yum might change in its structure. Keep up2date going. I don't use 64-bit yet. I'm not sure what effects it has on yum or up2date.

Message-ID: Here is one for the group. I was researching avc errors with "su -" this morning. I found a report in bugzilla on it which reported: Fixed in rawhide with policy-1.9.2-12. I decided to find out which version of policy I had: [tmolina at dad tmolina]$ rpm -qa|grep policy policycoreutils-1.10-3 checkpolicy-1.10-1 Now I KNOW it was there at one point. I even remember the fact that at one point I had policy, but not policy sources, so I installed the sources. Now I have nothing. Somewhere in the forest of yum and up2date installs and upgrades, something appears to have deleted it. If I could reproduce it I would report it in bugzilla. At this point I am baffled and will reinstall the packages.

The postinstall scriptlet is run after installation of a package - and this is the scriptlet which fails on policy-sources. Same goes for the package policy-sources. So you can just cut & paste everything which follows the line "postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):" into your shell. Obviously you have to omit the error, which can be found on line 4 of the postinstall scriptlet of policy-sources, you have to drop one of the two adjacent "&&"s.

Weird. It also works if you turn exec shield off. I presume that setarch is doing exactly that, somehow? The updated version of the exec shield "announce" file explains that gcc and binutils are supposed to automatically deterimine stack-executability requirements. Is the fact that wine doesn't work with exec shield a bug in gcc, then? -- Matthew Miller mattdm at mattdm.org Boston University Linux ------> From alex.kiernan at thus.net Mon Apr 26 14:13:52 2004 From: alex.kiernan at thus.net (Alex Kiernan) Date: 26 Apr 2004 15:13:52 +0100 Subject: kernel-2.6.5-1.332 In-Reply-To: <72d662ef7a.fsf@alexk.eng.demon.net> References: <72n056so3n.fsf@alexk.eng.demon.net> <1082473862.5832.0.camel@delerium.codemonkey.org.uk> <72isfusmoe.fsf@alexk.eng.demon.net> <1082475093.5832.3.camel@delerium.codemonkey.org.uk> <72hdveeir4.fsf@alexk.eng.demon.net> <1082477794.10690.1.camel@delerium.codemonkey.org.uk> <72d662ef7a.fsf@alexk.eng.demon.net> Message-ID: Alex Kiernan writes: > Dave Jones writes: > > > On Tue, 2004-04-20 at 17:06, Alex Kiernan wrote: > > > Dave Jones writes: > > > > > > > Worse case you could always take a picture of it if you've a digital > > > > camera handy.

Some of this is at http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-April/msg00907.html I've seen such freezes happen twice. It takes me forever to ssh on to this machine - and If I manage to get through - simple commands like 'sync' or 'df' freeze for a long time. I managed to wait it out - and then reboot - the first time. Now I'm waiting so that I can do uname -a. I think its kernel-2.6.5.1..339 from arjavnv.

Your search 'lsof -i tcp |grep 22', was lucky in that the device number was 2252 and you caught the line; *:ssh is the address (*:ssh); all interface/addresses on port ssh; port 22 was resolved to ssh, as far as I know because it is listed in /etc/services: ssh 22/tcp # SSH Remote Login Protocol ssh 22/udp # SSH Remote Login Protocol and sshd (on the far left) is the command that was run and is now listening on port 22. As for what to do; you can disable sshd using system-config-services and reboot; don't do this if you're connecting remotely through ssh. When you reboot you'll've cut yourself off; do it at the system. Run 'lsof -i' and see what's trying to listen on 22/ssh. Then you need to make up your mind. Should it be trying to listen. If not find out where it is trying to start from and disable it. If so which one do you want to keep listening on port 22 (or on port 22 on which interfaces) and which one are you going to have listen on a different port (or interface)... This should hopefully at least get your started in the right direction... Did you per chance try to install some version of ssh after installing Fedora with the version of ssh that comes with it and is enabled by default?

It is definitely worth a bugzilla, because a lot of people here have their machines on a switch box, so it cannot probe the ddc values properly. Let me know the bug # so I can add my comments.

My cdrom device is an old scsi one : Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-R PX-W124TS Rev: 1.06 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Yesterday (not "some times ago", i really mean yesterday), this device was extracting tracks at a quite normal rate (3-4x.. it's a quite old thingy) on fc1 w/kernel 2.6.3-something (it's a kernel from fc2t2). Today my system is up-to-date development tree [1] and my top speed at extracting audio tracks is... 0.4x using cdda2way. Ridiculous isn't it ? cdparanoia is unable to extract tracks until sg.ko is loaded (I'm just wondering why it's not autoloaded using modprobe.conf aliases magic...) but even when the module is loaded i dont reach more than 0.4x too.. So, if anybody can give me clue about that, i would appreciate. Is that a bug ? Or just a misconfiguration from me ?

When I do a make install on my library, it places the file libfoo.so.0.0.0 in /usr/local/lib as expected, but puts up an error when running ldconfig: /sbin/ldconfig: Input file /usr/local/lib/libfoo.so.0.0.0 not found. The problem appears to be related to the selinux context, as the file definitely exists. It is creating libfoo.so.0.0.0 with a type context of lib_t, instead of the correct shlib_t. Once I change that and run ldconfig, it creates the links as expected. Also of note is that the user context is root (which makes sense as I sued to do the make install) instead of system_u, and although this doesn't appear to affect the use of the library, I wonder if it may be more consistent to have it labelled as the latter.

I said that I wasn't connected to the internet. Besides /etc is one of the directories that I deleted. Is it pre-populated by anaconda?

As odd as that sounds, i guess thats a perfectly valid way to test installer operation. And if this was a fresh install you did after deleting those..system..directories, it makes perfect sense that anaconda would repopulate them, since they are well..system...directories and particularly important for the operation of the...system. rpm -qf /etc/ /etc/ is owned by the filesystem package, and hence when anaconda goes to install the filesystem package...you get that directory back...and then when anaconda goes to install up2date you get up2dates config files inside that directory.

My machine has all of the Fedora kernels since 2.6.5 (I zapped the others off earlier in the week) as well as the 2.6.5 from kernel.org - no patches required, compile and run and it's happy. Okay, you need to be careful over selinux, but as it's switched off here, it's not such a biggie.

You are right. This is why I said "It's better to wait a little.". Anyway, we have no "official" warranty when using Fedora and it is a test/beta release :-). btw, there is no warranty when updating test release with the development tree also... I run this "not yet official" test 3 at my own risk and it works well :-) I'll wait for the official announce to confirm that this "not yet official" iso are the official iso and give more feedback.

Actually, the up2date agent, or rhn_applet if that is what the user is referring to, gets it's information from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet. The sources file is only for when you run up2date itself to do one of it's functions.

You need to retrieve the .src.rpm and rebuild it for your current kernel using: rpmbuild --rebuild package-name.src.rpm This should be done as a normal user (compiling as root is *bad*). To set that up you need to do the following: mkdir ~/rpmbuild ~/rpmbuild/RPMS ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386 ~/rpmbuild/BUILD \ ~/rpmbuild/SPECS ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS ~/rpmbuild/i686 (adding ~/rpmbuild/athlon and the others.. is probably not necessary) Then create ~/.rpmmacros and add this line to it: %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild You'll need to have the kernel-source rpm for your current kernel installed (since the old nVIDIA src.rpm will not use the new external module build style), and also because of this issue you'll need to provide the file Modules.symvers in /usr/lib/linux- from /lib/modules//build. As an example (with kernel version 2.5.6-1.327), you'll need to copy: cp /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.327/build/Module.symvers /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.327 (you may have to edit the kernel-source installed Makefile so that it does not remove Modules.symvers during make mrproper, if the compile fails complaining about missing this file.. that is the problem) After that, you should be able to rebuild the package as your user, in your own home directory rpmbuild. The nForce driver might still not work... but this is the process to get you on the way. I do not have one of these boards, so I have not been through this process to verify it works in the end -- corrections by those who have welcome. I've heard there is open source support for the nforce2 boards, you really might want to check that out (building the nVIDIA modules might not work for this new a kernel). -- Andrew Farris, CPE senior (California Polytechnic State University, SLO) fedora at andrewfarris.com :: lmorgul on irc.freenode.net "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Very interesting that you can use rsync to update an iso to a newer version. Just for the fun of it I did get those "slipped" iso images to get a headstart but prefer to have the official ones.

Reboot (which I did not do before trying "fixfiles relabel" above) and "fixfiles relabel" in single user mode as recommended by t l did away with the error message, but seems there must be a way to handle updating the policy without the reboot and single user kludge.

Does not seem to be related to using a KVM switch. Had similar problems with directly connected KVM. The initial problem seems to be that the X configuration in firstboot writes /etc/X11/XF86Config whereas xorg reads the default /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Copying (or perhaps better moving - to avoid future confusion) /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/xorg.conf will give the setup you supplied originally. The system-config-display bug seems to be a different problem.

If you select large fonts for your desktop, many dialog boxes are useless. In this particular case, I used 22 point fonts for everything. Many dialog boxes were too large to view the ok and cancel buttons at 800x600 resolution. Try this with the AccessX settings and the dekstop theme selector. Needless to say, people with visual issues will be using these two settings panels. Also frustrating that a change to the high-contrast theme also changes most of the icons.

Read http://rsync.samba.org/tech_report/node2.html . Generally, you can't update an iso. You rebuild the whole iso and many files (even identical) is not at the same place in the iso.

I have googled for it and I found several comparisons for how fast they are and how well they store large and small files, but I haven't found any that really talk about how well they recover. I have been testing testing them myself and the results have not been what I expected. I used Fedora Core 2 Test 1 for testing (because I had so much trouble getting FC2T2 to install). I tested it by having the NFS client running four different processes accessing it. One was running the fsstress test and the others were just writing the date into a file at different rates. First I tested ext3. A normal bootup was about 21 seconds. A bootup after a 'plug pull' was usually about 40 seconds, but a couple of times it was only 22 seconds (this does not include the 5 second wait which I have to remove - since in actual operation it won't have a keyboard or screen). I never saw any error/warning messages or data corruption. Other than doubling the bootup time most of the time it was good. (It was at this point that I discovered that Anaconda will only allow formatting in ext2 or ext3. I was disappointed to see that it didn't give one the option to use any of the other journalling file systems. To test the others I had to boot from a Knoppix CD and reformat the partitions by hand, then run the Fedora Install and select "do not format the partition".) Next I tried XFS. I was excited at first because a normal bootup was only 18 seconds. The first reboot after a 'plug pull' was only 27 seconds (and I think that included the 5 second wait). I was very excited to see this improvement over ext3. However, it was short lived. After the second 'plug pull' it took 1 minute and 16 seconds to boot. But it claimed corrupted metadata and that the superblock was trashed and could not even mount the partiton. I found this comment on the Gentoo installation instructions http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4 : "We only recommend using this filesystem on Linux systems with high-end SCSI and/or fibre channel storage and a uninterruptible power supply. Because XFS aggressively caches in-transit data in RAM, improperly designed programs (those that don't take proper precautions when writing files to disk and there are quite a few of them) can lose a good deal of data if the system goes down unexpectedly." So I assumed that this was to be expected with XFS. Then I tried JFS. Anaconda didn't like the JFS partitons and got a "unhandled exception" in the middle of the install. So I had to install into ext3 partitions and then tar the whole thing, convert the partitions to JFS and then restore everything. I modified fstab, grub.conf, and initrd.img and it booted. A normal boot was 26 seconds. The plug pull boots were around 36 seconds. But one time it rebooted twice (it got partway into the booting and rebooted itself). One time during booting it complained about corrupted data in some files. After the fourth boot I I realized I had forgotten to remove the line from fstab for mounting /boot and it was complaining about that each time. So I edited fstab and removed that line. I started up the NFS tests and did the 'plug pull'. On reboot it complained about fstab and dropped me into a maintenance mode command line. Sure enough the fstab was empty. But it wouldn't let me fix anything because the file system was mounted read-only. I couldn't seem to make it let me remount it read-only so I rebooted into Knoppix again with the idea of repairing fstab. However, when I tried to mount the partition in Knoppix it claimed the superblock was trashed and I could not mount the file system at all. Last, I tried ReiserFS. It seemed terribly slow. A normal bootup was 36 seconds. A bootup after a 'plug-pull' was 45 seconds. Then I noticed a warning message saying that 'check' was enabled which made it slow. So I recompiled the kernel with Reiser Check disabled. So it really freaked me out when a normal bootup was 37 seconds!?! The bootup after the 'plug-pull' was 44 seconds (not much of an improvement). The second time I decided to try having it copying files when it lost power. I started it copying /etc to /tmp and pulled the plug. This time when it rebooted I got a "1 Fatal Corruption(s) in the root block" and it dropped me back to the command line. I'm completely confused now. I have been under the impression that this was the main purpose for these (journaling) file systems? I knew a guy that worked on BeOS and he claimed that you could flick the power on and off all day and it wouldn't lose data. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to set a different mode or something on these file systems so that they can recover? If anyone can offer any advice or point me to some other resources it would be most appreciated.

I wouldn't recommend any FC2 environment since Selinux introduced too many unknowns. 2) I have been getting bad link counts on attribute lists and losing free blocks on my FC2 test 2 system using ext3.

Fedora supports postfix, and it's reasonably straightforward to install qmail or other mail servers after your basic OS installation. But sendmail and postfix have been tested under the flaming blowtorch of a thousand installations run by fools, and have gotten reasonably stable.

The kernel had debugging information in it, was not optimal, the OS wasn't stable, etc, etc, etc... 2) Fedora Core 2 Anaconda DOES support xfs/jfs/reiserfs. You have to pass these as options at boot time to the installer. (linux xfs jfs reiserfs) 3) Fedora Core systems are build around ext3. Usage of other file systems is not tested very well, and unexpected problems may occur. This is not due to a file system problem, more of an operating system not designed to use said file system. To properly test, you should test an operating system that targets said file system for full operability. 4) NFS may not be an optimal test. One would start with local disk access, then extend it to other scenarios which may bring their own instabilities into the picture. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?

With the previous versions, the /etc/apt/apt.conf file had an entry which you could edit to specifiy your proxy server. The newer (major) version has a slightly different syntax, and since the inception of this change, I can now longer use apt-get from the command line. I receive the following error: [root at boomtown root]# apt-get update Fetching list of repositories/mirrors... E: Failed to fetch mirror list file: the apt.conf is as follows: ********************** // User customizable configuration RPM { // Uncomment to disable GPG-signature checking for packages // GPG-Check "false"; // Uncomment to prevent kernel being handled along with (dist-)upgrade // Upgrade-Kernel "false"; // Uncomment to hold packages with modified config files in (dist-)upgrade // Preserve-Config "true"; }; // Options for the downloading routines Acquire { Retries "1"; // http::Proxy "http://user:password at proxy-server.domain.tld:port/"; http::Proxy "http://proxy.xxxxx.com:8080/"; }; ************************* // where xxxx = my company's domain name. This value is correct, no user at pass is required. At home, where this is no proxy, this version works as expected, and in fact upon first pass, it prompted me for the mirrors to select. Upon this (major) version change, I do not get prompted for the mirror select, and when explicitly running apt-get mirror-select I get: [root at boomtown root]# apt-get mirror-select Fetching list of repositories/mirrors... E: Failed to fetch mirror list file: BTW, Synaptic DOES work, after I had hand copied in the sources and mirrors lists. As it has it's own proxy configuration through the GUI. However, I do not like to use Synaptic, I prefer command line. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Noe.

Due to United States of America export restrictions on munitions, Red Hat Linux can not distribute ssh. The site ftp.replay.com has set up various downloads of ssh and PGP." (*&^(*^&^!@ ... Or the doc search engine at redhat , which for the terms "ssh timeout" returns for its number one entry: "1. Mail Transport Agents [0.616% Popularity: 0.00000]" (http://www.redhat.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=ssh%20timeout&ps=10&np=0&ul=/docs/)" then there's this page: (http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/s1-ssh-configfiles.html) which mentions names of config files, but fails to provide any other details. So then a page at (http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#2.12) mentions a "ServerAliveInterval" in ssh_client, but in redhat that variable isn't even in the config file, as FCtest2 includes openssh ver 3.6 and this feature isn't enabled till 3.8! Then looking at the ssh_config man page, we find that TCPKeepAlive will keep the session open, but in the FC ssh_config, this variable is called KeepAlive. Trying to use TCPKeepAlive results in ssh not working, and neither can it recognize ServerAliveInterval, and KeepAlive set to 'yes' seems to do nothing at all. So, the open bsd documentation was actually kind of pointless for FC, since FC has gone and changed key variable names... so, sure, I'd love to RTFM, but where is it?! It shouldn't take this much effort to change a simple timeout, but then it does enforce the saying that "linux is only free if you don't value your time!" cheers Kepa >You could easly look this up....RTFM >On Monday 26 April 2004 22:21, Kepa Lyman wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Is there someway to adjust the timeout for ssh connections in FC? it >> always times out on me after quite short while, very annoying.

Ignoring #1 above for a moment, since we are using FC2 with whatever file system, it seems like it would be a waste to test them on some other Distro. ;-) >4) NFS may not be an optimal test.

It's ironic however that two of them didn't blow up until I started testing the local disk access. Again my logic was just to test it in a manner as close as possible to how it will actually be used in normal operation.

Yes, it's time for the third and final test release of Fedora Core 2. Notable changes in this release include: - SELinux is now disabled by default. If you'd like to install with SELinux support, pass 'selinux' to the installer. Bug reports about the behavior and support of SELinux are certainly still welcome; we're still working on it. - The 'CD1 won't boot' issue appears to be resolved. Any reports of continued failure are certainly appreciated. - Please check the included translations for correctness and sanity. Anaconda now installs in 31 languages.

I fell into that trap as well, and was doing performance testing on kernel 2.6 before I realized that things were in debug mode.

If your goal is to compare file systems, then you should use the appropriate OS. If your goal is to compare Fedora Core 2 with different file system options, then yes, use FC2. But don't confuse FC2 results with general file system results. > >4) NFS may not be an optimal test.

Limiting the outside factors is necessary in order to generate the baseline, against which all other tests will be compared against.

This one is inside out in how it really works. KeepAlive Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the other side. If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one of the machines will be properly noticed. However, this means that connections will die if the route is down tem- porarily, and some people find it annoying. Also for me the most serious impact for disconnection was the way short DHCP lease time. As soon as I increased the lease time to be three times longer than the KeepAlive I had a chance. This has little to do with 'ssh' setup but ssh can be impacted by short leases. Default DHCP lease times for many inexpensive NAT boxes is too short. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

When I went to the Layout settings in Preferences > Keyboard, it gave me that same Xkb error when I selected "Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro/Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro". Then, when I tried to set the volume keys, mute key, etc, it said that it couldn't be done because that key was being used by the help browser. The thing is: None of them were being used by the help browser and the help browser's keyboard shortcut was disabled. I had set the keyboard function keys as the other user, so this might be a clue as to why I cannot use my keyboard in the other user account.

Swapping the dock station didnt do it; i was upgrading the BIOS on the T30 and all sorts of stupid stuff; in the end swapping out the mouse made it work... You might also want to make sure that the setting in the BIOS is set to automatic; though if you're using the touch pad at all i dont think it is set to disabled (i cant remember for the life of me what the exact behaviour is for the track[pad/stick] setting.

Can you tell us (me) more about the hardware and test setup..... Disks, Single or multiple disk in system, Raid?, controllers, partition, SCSI, EIDE, FC, SIDE, cable width, speed, DMA tagged-queuing depth, hdparm -I, Buffer modes in the disk and controller, read buffers, write buffers, mkfs options. XFS requires effective atomic and strictly ordered writes for meta data consistency. In multiple processor environments strong mutual exclusion locks are a requirement. I suspect that this is true for all file systems. Is this a multiprocessor box? Any 'plug pull' safe disk needs some sort of hardware logic to sense power failure, then self-power long enough to finish the committed writes and not start others. Does the power supply signal the system with a power-fail line? Does the mother board signal the OS with a power-fail interrupt? The more RAM on the disk dedicated for write buffering the more interesting the write buffer issues on the disk are. What is the ratio of data to meta data in your test. XFS can allocate lots of data blocks for data and be lazy with the meta data. This implies that the data read from a file after a failure will be correct or simply absent in part depending on how it was written. This ratio with the meta data sync time etc. can define the number of faces on the die in terms of how often meta-data will be be corrupt. Are you pulling the power plug on the disk (DC,5V,12V), disk box (AC) or the wall plug (AC) for the entire system (disk,MB,processor,DRAM...)? -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

Sluggish performance? Message-ID: <20040428033926.04F5E79004F@ws1-14.us4.outblaze.com> I decided to try torrent-ing instead of ftp for test3 images. A strange thing happened on my way to test3 CDs. I ran the azureus client, and started torrents from the dulog.duke.edu site. The download of the first torrent (for the binaries) went exceptionally fast. The second, for the sources, was a disaster: I was getting about 10KB/sec at best down (up was doing better, at about 80-100KB/sec). And, the machine was amazingling sluggish to even simple shell commands. A simple "ps agl" yielded the first 'gotcha': java had grown to over 200MB (BEWARE of j2sdk-1_4_2_04. There must be a memory leak somewhere). I killed azureus (and hence java), but things did NOT improve. I then noticed that the 'disk light' on the box was constantly on. My ear against the case indicated non-stop disk activity. (By this time, commands like "md5sum *disc1.iso" were taking over 4-5 minutes to complete on an otherwise idle machine, accumulating just 19 seconds of cpu time). I then ran "filefrag *.iso" of the binaries.

Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 19:39:25 -0800 I decided to try torrent-ing instead of ftp for test3 images. A strange thing happened on my way to test3 CDs. I ran the azureus client, and started torrents from the dulog.duke.edu site. The download of the first torrent (for the binaries) went exceptionally fast. The second, for the sources, was a disaster: I was getting about 10KB/sec at best down (up was doing better, at about 80-100KB/sec). And, the machine was amazingling sluggish to even simple shell commands. A simple "ps agl" yielded the first 'gotcha': java had grown to over 200MB (BEWARE of j2sdk-1_4_2_04. There must be a memory leak somewhere). I killed azureus (and hence java), but things did NOT improve. I then noticed that the 'disk light' on the box was constantly on. My ear against the case indicated non-stop disk activity. (By this time, commands like "md5sum *disc1.iso" were taking over 4-5 minutes to complete on an otherwise idle machine, accumulating just 19 seconds of cpu time). I then ran "filefrag *.iso" of the binaries. Here is the result: [root at fedora FC2-test3-binary-i386]# filefrag *.iso FC2-test3-i386-disc1.iso: 46138 extents found, perfection would be 5 extents FC2-test3-i386-disc2.iso: 46739 extents found, perfection would be 5 extents FC2-test3-i386-disc3.iso: 43183 extents found, perfection would be 5 extents FC2-test3-i386-disc4.iso: 16279 extents found, perfection would be 2 extents Seems to me amazingly bad fragmentation.

Pretty straight forward, then after the "point of no return" the install runs for a while doing things in preparation for instaling packages and finds that there isn't enough space to do the upgrade. So, I click OK on the error message box and I'm back to the point of no return page of the installer. Then it ctl-alt-del, take the CD out so I can try to boot the old install or failing that, the Win XP but low and behold on the BIOS screen (after the usual mem check) at the point where it usually show the GRUB menu all it shows is the one word "GRUB" at the bottom of the screen and nothing else! Can't boot 'cause grub has been eaten by anaconda when doing an "Upgrade" installation. Don't you think this situation (not enough space for an upgrade) should be handled a little better? There will probably be many people trying to "Upgrade" their FC1 to FC2 and a least a few will not realize how much additional space it will take and run into this problem. So, part of the question is why is GRUB clobbered in an "Upgrade" install before it determines if there is enough space?

There must be a memory leak somewhere). The mem leak is in azarues software which relies heavily on JNI (code outside of java...mainly using the eclipse swt libs). There is nothing wrong with the j2sdk-1_4_2 so there is no reason to BEWARE of java. :) I used to use azareus but it is so buggy that it is virtually impossible to use on 600MB+ files with crashing or slowing to a crawl with mem leaks galore. On Topic part: Now that FUD killing is over onto the helpful stuff. There is setting somewhere in the config menus of azureus the lets one create the entire file at once or create the file incrementally as the data chunks roll in. I'd assume yours is set for incremental file creation which would make sense with your heavy fragmentation levels. Flipping off the incremental file creation should help.

I doubt that you did anything wrong. One of the things that torrent does is fragment the way it gets the files all different parts at the same time from piles of places. I have 3% of the download on one collection but have some bits for all the iso images in it. If it is really slowing you down, you should be able to clean it up by stopping the torrent making a copy and remove the downloaded file with all the insane extents, then rename the copied files back as they were and then restart torrent. Something like: mv FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.is foo cp foo FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso rm foo or better yet: cp FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.is foo filefrag FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.is foo # pick the best and give it the name you and torrent expect. It might take a couple of copy and move cycles of these big old files for the filesystem to tidy things up... much will depend on how full the FS is and what else is going on. It will be interesting to hear back, I believe filefrag is new in e2fsprogs-1.35-7.1. In one copy/rename cycle on an old iso image I went from 1063 extents to 164 extents. One more time and I was back up to 324 extents but the filesystem was not idle. None of mine are as bad as yours appear to be. How full is your filesystem? Making a bit of space by moving things to a different filesystem then back can help bunches. As always, double check the MD5SUMS with this sort of tinkering. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

I think this happened after formatting the partitions. This is my 1st foray into RAID and I figured grub would not be able to grok the RAID so I left /boot as ext3. Funny thing is that before getting to the format / install stage, the installer sets up grub and says it's going to boot from /dev/md0! Can that be right? Maybe I got the primary partition wrong. Any thoughts? Is this a problem where the installer (Anaconda, right?) can't write to RAID partitions? Help!

Second, you can mirror swap too, although I agree it doesn't make sense on non-hot-swappable IDE drives (but it *does* make sense to do so on hot-swappable SCSI drives, as you're otherwise still lost when one of the two drives gets problems). > This is my 1st foray into RAID and I figured grub would not be able to > grok the RAID so I left /boot as ext3.

It is easy to put it back in by rebuilding the kernel. Install the kernel-source and follow the instructions in the README specifically these lines To configure and build the kernel use: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.N make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig make O=/home/name/build/kernel sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install Please note: If the 'O=output/dir' option is used then it must be used for all invocations of make. when you run the make menuconfig you will get an option to include ntfs support.

I had to restart because it dodn't recover. The ttys were ok. * 2nd installation worked flawlessly Post-installation ----------------- * system-config-display wites XF86Config instead of xorg.conf and shows the parametres setup in that file. X uses xorg.conf as expected. * yum: it's configured to use the main site instead of mirrors. I have setup the mirrors manually, but no new user will understand why it doesn't update and why it doesn't connect.

Ugh, I really hope it's not a hardware problem, tho I'm beginning to think it may be.

Thanks; It just seems weird that it was working all along and then suddenly started failing so recently. Of course, the touchpad has been flakey (programatically) since before this: when I installed FC2T1, I lost the tap-to-click ability and had to install the Synaptics driver to get it working. The weirder thing is that the Ultranav on my external IBM keyboard still works normally (tap-to-click and everything).

Hmm, more head scratching. We're going to do one final rebase to 2.6.6 when that's out later this week, and that's what we're rolling with for FC2 GA, (Additional patches from upstream will be cherry-picked). Will be interesting to see if the next kernel that we push out fixes it for you too. If it doesn't, then it is something we added which is bogus.

Nope. The pain that comes with preempt outweighs the perceived gain. A lot of folks seem to think it's a silver bullet that will provide low-latency, but that isn't the case. Preemption lowers the average latency, not the worse case latency, which for most things isn't a gain. If you've got a driver that has a udelay() of some stupid length of time, preempt won't save you. Drivers that pull this kind of trick need fixing instead of putting faith in some magical config option to 'fix everything'. > Also, a side question -- what are the benefits of the > "4G/4G" changes (simple explaination) -- right now I > am unable to use it turned on on my portable -- so I > was wondering what I am missing out on :p Executive summary: It increases the address space usable by each process at the expense of some performance if you have an application that makes a *lot* of system calls to the kernel.

Message-ID: <20040428144044.C2C95790001@ws1-14.us4.outblaze.com> Tom, The filesystem was pretty empty: even with the images, it reports 9GB used with 62GB available. I was pretty surprised at the extent of the fragmentation..... thanks, tom ----------------------------------------- I doubt that you did anything wrong. One of the things that torrent does is fragment the way it gets the files all different parts at the same time from piles of places. I have 3% of the download on one collection but have some bits for all the iso images in it. If it is really slowing you down, you should be able to clean it up by stopping the torrent making a copy and remove the downloaded file with all the insane extents, then rename the copied files back as they were and then restart torrent. Something like: mv FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.is foo cp foo FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso rm foo or better yet: cp FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.is foo filefrag FC2-test3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.is foo # pick the best and give it the name you and torrent expect. It might take a couple of copy and move cycles of these big old files for the filesystem to tidy things up... much will depend on how full the FS is and what else is going on. It will be interesting to hear back, I believe filefrag is new in e2fsprogs-1.35-7.1. In one copy/rename cycle on an old iso image I went from 1063 extents to 164 extents. One more time and I was back up to 324 extents but the filesystem was not idle. None of mine are as bad as yours appear to be. How full is your filesystem? Making a bit of space by moving things to a different filesystem then back can help bunches. As always, double check the MD5SUMS with this sort of tinkering. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm From netdemonz at yahoo.com Wed Apr 28 14:43:14 2004 From: netdemonz at yahoo.com (Brian Bober) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 07:43:14 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Downloading the 4GB DVD iso In-Reply-To: <20040428142224.44AC1746CD@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <20040428144314.1403.qmail@web90107.mail.scd.yahoo.com> Robert La Ferla wrote: > What are the best ways to download the 4GB DVD iso image on Windows?

If this happened with a recent version of Mozilla (1.7+), or Firebird (0.8+) then please report a bug against Mozilla on http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/. Browsers are generally not reliable ftp clients. You might want to try gftp (or cuteftp/wsftp if you are on windows) or if you are feeling brave, nc-ftp for cygwin. Older clients might have a problem with files larger than 4 GB. Hopefully, the FTP servers hosting the DVD isos don't, but if they are just mirrors, then some of them might without realizing it. I remember when I used to host the Redhat 9 DVD iso I created, an older version of proftpd had problems, but a newer version didn't. I know for a fact IE just cannot handle a 4 GB file through ftp unless its been fixed recently (but I doubt it will be unless it meant $$ to them). Bittorrent isn't that slow, you just need to give it some time to speed up. By the end of the download, I had gotten up to around 120Kbits/s. Let it run, go to bed and when you wake up, it'll probably be there. By the way, I didn't know that fedora DVDs were hosted on FTP. Which server is it on?

So in your make install you could just add restorecon /usr/local/lib/libfoo.so.0.0.0 Files that get placed in a directory default to picking up the context of the directory. If you installed via RPM it would change the context to match the context as specified in /etc/security/selinux/file_contexts. restorecon does the same thing.

After cleaning up the fragmented files, I restarted azureus and java stabilized. (I should have guessed when killing it made no appreciable improvement). Next, his suggestion to search out and set a config in azureus was also right on. There is a check-box in the Files section for "Allocate and zero new files on creation - Minimized fragmentation". It defaults to "unchecked". I suggest you check this BEFORE starting the torrent ;) After doing a "copy/remove/rename" on each of the fragmented files, things appear to be back to normal.

So I popped the drive into my Fedora machine and no joy. It's not that code for NTFS is not there, it's that the kernel builders are not even building it as a module. When you reconfigure the kernel, you will find the NTFS selections blank. I had to rebuild the kernel to get the NTFS module built. I went ahead and installed my custom kernel and rebooted with it to get the support. I wasn't sure if I could use the newly built module with the original kernel and didn't want to risk it.

Should be fixed soon. I'm fairly certain this is the same issue as mentioned earlier. For some reason ext3 inodes fill up the entire ram, then the vm struggles trying to do an order 1 allocation (2 contiguous 4KB pages). This was pretty much the same failure mode I saw when updatedb blew up my box, except it was the e100 driver complaining for the same reason (no memory).

Likely 'install floppy :' will have the same effect but I did not try. > In FC1 I have 'alias > floppy off' in my modules.conf, does that do the same thing? Close enough. Try 'man modprobe.conf' and 'install' directive is explained there; but in short 'modules.conf' has some capabilities, like a conditional execution, which were now relegated to outside programs via 'install'. These outside utilities may do any kind of a fancy processing you desire and this includes not doing anything.

It is actually a very simple/basic setup. It is a Single Board Computer, 3.0 GHz Pentium 4. It has 2 IDE connectors and 2 SATA connectors on the board. There is a CD-ROM drive pluged into IDE 1 and a single SATA drive plugged into the first SATA port. No RAID or anything like that. The machine is reconfigured at the moment with a IDE drive so I can't give you the hdparm -I. I can say that because it thinks it is a SCSI drive, hdparm won't allow me to turn off the write caching. I am curious why FC2 mounts it as a SCSI drive, whereas Knoppix makes it an IDE drive (hdg).

Thanks for any info. selinuxenabled is a utility for that purpose, but you can't assume that it is installed on non-Fedora systems; usage would be if selinuxenabled; then restorecon ...; fi. Alternatively, you could do something similar to what is done in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to test for SELinux; checking for selinuxfs in /proc/mounts is typically sufficient (unless you also want to treat permissive/no-policy mode as the same as no-SELinux). -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From richarde at uiuc.edu Wed Apr 28 17:52:20 2004 From: richarde at uiuc.edu (Anthony Richardella) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 12:52:20 -0500 Subject: System hang on boot at Linux Plug and Play Support v0.97 In-Reply-To: <20040428142223.A5FEA74681@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <001201c42d49$90dc5d80$020ba8c0@richardellam> Looks like an Intel Brookdale chipset.

I haven't tried them previously so I could be completely wrong. I'm running FC2T2 completed pathed using yum ( upto FC2T3 - but not a fresh install or upgrade) on a IBM Thinkpad T40. The T40 has a centrino chip ( useless on linux ), a Gigabit Ethernet Card and I've also installed the Netgear WG511 802.11g card using the prism54 drivers. The WG511 works pretty well most of the time with FC2T2 but all the configs are tied to my home access point. What I wanted to do was have a new network profile for the gigabit ethernet and the wireless WG511 to use DHCP and also use different access points, depending on whether I'm in the office, home, or sitting at a Starbucks. After reading the help for system-network-config, I thought I could get it to work but system-network-config doesn't appear to only activate certain devices in certain profiles. For example: "Common" profile: o Gigabit Ethernet has fixed IP as eth0 o Netgear WG511 is in Auto mode for a specific AP with WEP encryption as eth1 o Both devices are active in this profile "DHCP" create profile o Gigabit ethernet copied to be eth0Copy0 and is active o Netgear WG511 copied to be eth1Copy0 and is active o Disabled device eth0 and eth1 in this profile When I change back to the Common profile, eth0 and eth1 are no longer active.

I'm confused about the whole Hyper-Threading > thing, Linux seems to treat it as multiple processors. Do you have a Hyper-Threading capable box? If so how is the BIOS set etc. === The Hyper-Threading is multi processing on a single package. Start with a processor that has a rich set of internal registers and execution units. Add a second execution block (instruction decode) units that run independent of the first, add a second register file and exclusion logic to shares execution blocks and it looks MP. So for example one program with an integer rich loop could leave the floating point hardware near idle. Another process could have a floating point rich loop and leave the integer hardware idle. It is not that simple in hardware but the result acts like multiple processors. Interrupts, cache state, interlocks, support chips, all need to work or be used multi processor safe. The internal parallel hardware tricks to make a single processor faster (SIMD/MMX instructions, multiple floating point blocks, multiple integer units, register renaming) set the stage for multiple instruction decode and execution blocks. With high clock rate long pipeline designs it makes hardware sense. http://www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading.htm "? Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with an Intel? Pentium?4 processor supporting Hyper-Threading Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading/ for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology" A personal opinion is that enabling Hyper-Threading might be a net loss for some folks depending on the application mix. A compiler that understands the P4 and some of the more exotic instructions can keep enough hardware busy that the parallel thread would be starved for registers or functional blocks. Since this is uncommon outside of hand coded library blocks. Hyper-Threading is often a win. However since hand coded library blocks exist in Linux testing will tell you if you really want to turn it on. Device drivers must be MP safe. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.

Yes, I've done it many times. If you get teh curses-style menu, then it is telling you that it cannot really read the DVD. What type of DVD are you using (DVD-R, DVD+RW, etc.)? What drive do you have? I have a DVD drive that does something similar. It will boot, and start the install, but when it starts reading packages it will fail. A firmware update helped, but it still has problems sometimes reading a DVD-R (and it won't even read a DVD-RW).

Prior to version 3.2, BitTorrent by default uses ports in the range of 6881-6889. As of 3.2 and later, the range has been extended to 6881-6999. (These are all TCP ports, BitTorrent does not use UDP.) The client starts with the lowest port in the range and sequentially tries higher ports until it can find one to which it can bind. This means that the first client you open will bind to 6881, the next to 6882, etc. Therefore, you only really need to open as many ports as simultaneous BitTorrent clients you would ever have open. For most people it's sufficient to open 6881-6889. -- Chris Kloiber From notting at redhat.com Wed Apr 28 20:05:04 2004 From: notting at redhat.com (Bill Nottingham) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 16:05:04 -0400 Subject: SRPMS iso images In-Reply-To: <200404281009.25542.czar@czarc.net> References: <200404281009.25542.czar@czarc.net> Message-ID: <20040428200504.GI7264@nostromo.devel.redhat.com> Gene C.

Don't know if these should be changed to Fedora. Some of those are perfectly valid, for example "Red Hat-related icons and pictures" or "...registered trademarks of Red Hat, Inc" but the references to "Red Hat Linux" should be removed eventually. Doesn't make much sense for RH to keep changing the product name for each FC vs RHEL release, something like %{product} macro in rpm build phase maybe... Then there's the issue of specspo: if you check the number of Red Hat instances with and without specspo installed you'll notice that quite a few of them are already fixed in the actual packages but specspo entry still talks about RH(L). - Panu - From mike at netlyncs.com Wed Apr 28 21:48:59 2004 From: mike at netlyncs.com (Mike Chambers) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 16:48:59 -0500 Subject: DVD iso over NFS Message-ID: <1083188939.1640.0.camel@bart.netlyncs.com> Can you do an NFS install using the DVD iso's instead of the 4 seperate ones? -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "It's only funny until someone gets hurt...Then it's hilarious!"

I've seen: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 ... dma time out error: status=0xd0 { Busy } ... ide0: reset: success May be I should use "ide=nodma", but it worked without anyway. - install done, reboot, screen size and color selection in graphical mode (vesa 1024x768 millions of color), I say ok but then screen goes black and I can do nothing but power off/on. - rebooting with FC1 and getting various logs from the FC2 partition, attached below, together with their FC1 counterparts (easy to distinguish now that it's named x.org :), and lspci/lspci -n output from FC1. Let me know if more information/trial/bugzilla/other list would be useful, I can boot FC2 in "norhgb single" mode easily and try stuff and/or send more logs.

Many IDE drives (or is it the controller?) actually lie to the operating system, claiming they sync'ed up certain parts of the data, while in fact they didn't.

Bittorrent was *awfully* slow for this round of isos. I was getting around 1.5kBps after leaving it for a couple hours. Test2 came down at around 200kBps. I hadn't opened up any ports, but I also hadn't last time when I was getting decent speeds. So I cancelled it, chose an Australian mirror and was happiliy ftp'ing at ~230kBps. :) Regards, -Matt -- "Would you buy a car with the hood welded shut?" - Bob Young on the benefits of the open source development model. mhelios - www.fedoraforum.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Also, it doesn't necessarily delete old ones unless they are obsoleted or replaced by newer packages. Last, it's quite a lot of packages and can take hours just to get the dependencies: I urge you to install only a few packages at a time, such as "all the ones that start with xorg", "all the ones that start with y", etc. From gstool at earthlink.net Wed Apr 28 23:42:15 2004 From: gstool at earthlink.net (Gerry Tool) Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2004 18:42:15 -0500 Subject: Is it just me or has anyone noticed gnome-sound-recorder is still BROKEN!

SELINUX=permissive but, when i run "system-config-securitylevel" and then click on the "SELINUX" tab, it says Security Enhanced Linux (SELINUX): Active. also, i assume "enforcinfg" should actually be changed to "enforcing"? it seems to me that the gui should be able to read from the config file to show the currently set mode, but what do I know? if it's a bug, anyone put it in bugzilla? mark. :-) p.s. btw, i think making a tab for SELINUX in the gui was a good idea. i was hoping for just that. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

It seems you are not the first to have this problem: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06460.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06177.html The second link suggests it may be that the kernel package is not being included in the package list. See this Bugzilla report for an anaconda code snippet that shows what triggers this error message: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=106590 BTW, Are you the same Chris Negus of "Red Hat Linux Bible" series fame?

Message-ID: <1083205986.21445.6.camel@bristle.dhcp.cv.hp.com> Folks-- I've installed sun's 1.4.2_4 SDK on my test3 system, then run a big ole "maven" build a few times, and have jboss running, all from within my normal user account (no SELinux). Seems that running java a lot can take down the system. It "feels" like a kernel problem, because it happens whether or not I'm in X. Anyway, I was wondering if ANYONE else around here has had this problem? I wrote about it here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121902 I have similar problems with test2, but thought it was just some weird SELinux interaction. Any confirmation?

Fedora Core 2 Test 2 was installed and yum update'd to Test 3 on /dev/hda4, again using /dev/hda3 as its swap. I have the Windows XP boot loader installed in the MBR, FC1 has grub loaded on /dev/hda2 with LBA enabled, and FC2 has grub loaded on /dev/hda4 with LBA enabled. I then ran from Windows XP: bootpart 2 LBA c:\linux.bin "Fedora Core 1" bootpart 4 LBA c:\linuxtest.bin "Fedora Core 2" which makes it possible for me to chain load grub from the appropriate linux partition and boot into whichever that version of Fedora Core. I have not had any problems, per se but every time I enter Partition Magic I am getting the error message: http://www.montleon.com/pm1.png If I click no it continues, if I click yes I get these: http://www.montleon.com/pm2.png http://www.montleon.com/pm3.png And from then on when I start PM8 I get this messages: http://www.montleon.com/pm4.png These occur whether I create and format the partition with PM8 (but only after installing FC2), or I create it via Disk Druid and FC2 and format it during install. I've managed to do some really bad stuff with selinux that have made it easier to reload about 4 times over now, and each time I delete and recreate the partition PM8 stops complaining reinstall FC2. Interestingly enough from its perspective the partition is also full (http://www.montleon.com/pm5.png) from the time I reboot from installing FC2 on, even though when I reboot and log into FC2 and look it's more like 51% full., and I cannot access it with the tool that also comes with PM8. This is what it should and does look like for FC1: http://www.montleon.com/pm6.png and for FC2: http://www.montleon.com/pm7.png I have no idea how much of this is in any way related to what you are looking at, or if it is a totally separate issue perhaps to do with PM8 rather than FC2, but it has definately struck me as unusual, but either way I hope you find this information useful: '/sbin/parted /dev/hda print' on Fedora Core 1: [root jmontleon-note root]# /sbin/parted /dev/hda print Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-38154.375 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 22266.562 primary ntfs boot 2 22266.562 29959.453 primary ext3 3 29959.453 30461.484 primary linux-swap 4 30461.484 38154.375 primary ext3 Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

The sound works now. Wonderful ! 2. My Orinoco Gold 802.11b card works great with 128bit WEP. 3. Adding rpms manually from a shell results in lots of complaints that look like selinux stuff scrolling by, although I did not install selinux at all. The installation worked fine though. Also lots of syslog messages, many (many!) per second periodically. Updating all the possible rpms via up2date worked fine via the gui, although I got prompted with a 'unknown gpg key, ok?' popup for each rpm. I'm pretty sure that I told it to import the key when initially prompted. 4. The xwindows setup results in a X config file that will only go to 800x600, even though the display can run 1400x1250 easily. Where did the 'generic SVGA' card selection go ? - I got the system to a nice 1024x768 mode by changing the video card to vesa and adding the higher resolution mode of course - on control-alt-F1 to get out of Xwindows to a virtual console, the screen goes black with no cursor or way to get back, needed to pull the battery to crash the system - when I log out of Xwindows, the screen goes black similarly, need to pull the battery to crash the system - when I select 'shutdown' from Xwindows, same problem, pull the battery time - when I type "shutdown" in a xterm window, same problem, pull the battery time The 'need to pull the battery' thing is a show-stopper of course.

[...] Actually, it can be made even simpler. Here is the script I use to copy the isolinux directory plus a customized kickstart file to the /boot partition or directory of a Linux system and add an entry to grub for booting into anaconda. Most of the script is for creating the kickstart file so if you don't need that, you can remove all of those lines (and don't forget to remove the ks= setting that is put in grub.conf), and of course the path names and ip addresses in the script are specific to our network at the university. BTW, a small modification I used on most RH7/8/9 -> FC1 installs: add 'display=mymachine:0.0' to the kernel line to get the graphical part of the installation remotely displayed on my screen. vey convenient when upgrading 150+ linux desktops.

The installation proces is without any hitch. After installation adn first reboot, i switch to 'show details' to see what is going on. The last message that i get on the screen is something like this ... "X server not configured ... running x configuration' or something similair to that. The screen goes blank. System hangs. All known key combincations to bring t out of "Balck screen of death" fail. I force reboot. Now the system hangs even before i get mouse control to press the 'show details' link. I am a newbie. I dont know how to force startup in tet mode only, or failsafe or single user mode.

Before it hits 0 and boots, hit the letter a(?). That will bring up the paramaters to pass to the kernel. Just make sure there is a space after the last word and put in the word "single" (no quotes) and hit enter. You can then either edit /etc/inittab and find the line below... id:5:initdefault: Change it to read below.. id:3:initdefault: (change 5 to a 3) Reboot and that should get you to run level 3 until you change it back. If you need to try generic video driver, just edit the config (XF86Config or xorg.conf) and change the radeon driver to maybe vesa to see what that does. Maybe someone else with some better advise can chime in. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "It's only funny until someone gets hurt...Then it's hilarious!"

There is something there saying this version from NVidia works with kernel 2.6. Obviously, it doesn't, or I wouldn't be posting this... :) Can you specify which version of the driver works with FC2T3 (kernel 2.6.5) and exactly which set of instructions you used to get it going? Looks like driver version 5336 just kills the system at the kernel level. NVnews says something about 4K Stacks support.

Has anyone gotten anything beyond 2.6.3 to work, and in particular, has anyone gotten this to work with a fresh install of FC2T3 using kernel 2.6.5?

If the nVidia drivers are important to you then you might want to hold off Fedora Core 2 until they are released. Alternatively [not supported] you can install Fedora Core 2, then grab the kernel.org source and compile it with 4K stacks turned off. Right now I have both installed. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

Also I apologize in advance for not writting down all the error messages along the way. My environment: A Centrino based 'white box' laptop. 1/ Tried installing Core 2 test 3 from CDs... during install I selected 'custom' install, and you get the python core dump (discussed during yesterdays email exchange). 2/ Changed install choices to 'Workstation', and then later said 'install everything'. That seemed to work. 3/ I use KDE so I tried using the desktop switcher tool from the menu. It never came up. I then run 'switchdesk' from the command line, and find a traceback: File "/usr/share/switchdesk/switchdesk-gui.py", line 36, in ? from backend import * File "/usr/share/switchdesk/backend.py", line 18 PROGNAME = @NAME@ ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax So I found 'switchdesk-helper' and ran it as 'switchdesk-helper KDE' and that worked. 4/ The task bar RHN applet indicated that new RPMs existed. Clicking on it, running up2date I fetched the new version of up2date and installed it. 5/ Running up2date again, I installed the remainder of the RPMs NOTE: Each RPM had a GPG error! 6/ I tried running TuxRacer. it wouldn't start, and complained about "SDL..." (sorry, I didn't write it down). 6/ I like to use xine, so I fetched apt-get from freshrpms and installed it. Then I ran apt-get install xine. It complained about two different versions of a 'policy' file on the system and suggested a command to execute. Doing that it complained about something else, and suggested something else. After 3 rounds of that, I was able to install xine, and it worked. 7/ I tried TuxRacer again. This time it worked fine. I'm puzzled. 8/ I'd sware that after I ran Kmix (under test2) that it left a volume control applet on the task bar. Now I can't figure out how to get the volume control applet _onto_ the task bar! 9/ This morning, the update icon indicated that 22 updates exist. The alert box lists them all. But after running up2date, it says my system 'was already up to date', ... but there are still 22 new RPMs. 10/ Running 'yum update' basically worked, but it complained about perl-XML-Twig, so doing 'yum --exclude perl-XML-Twig update' gets past that error, and installed the rest. 11/ The update icon still says there are two RPMs outstanding: perl-XML-Twig, and perl-Net-DNS, but up2date still insists that my system is up to date. 12/ What happened to kernel 322? I was running that on test 2, but test 3 didn't ask for it to be downloaded. 13/ My system still doesn't detect hot-plugged USB devices. (Cold plugging is still OK). Overall, the experience is poor, and discouraging (for a final beta test).

So with the next kernel update, /etc/sysconfig/selinux disabled should yield the same behavior as selinux=0; SELinux will truly be unregistered as a security module. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency From jkeating at j2solutions.net Thu Apr 29 15:45:05 2004 From: jkeating at j2solutions.net (Jesse Keating) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 08:45:05 -0700 Subject: Downloading the 4GB DVD iso In-Reply-To: <4090D68C.5010707@optushome.com.au> References: <446DDE75CFC7E1438061462F85557B0F38B132@remail2.westat.com> <4090B013.1020808@cemery.org.uk> <4090D68C.5010707@optushome.com.au> Message-ID: <200404290845.09938.jkeating@j2solutions.net> On Thursday 29 April 2004 03:18, Till wrote: > Oh the CD boots ok and begins booting the kernel > but doesn't go any further, just sits there with > a flashing cursor and a message saying "Ok Now > booting the kernel" :( You wouldn't by chance have an Asus P4P800 motherboard would you? -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?

Looks like I forgot to issue a umount before I did that...oh well....e2fsck -f /dev/sdb1 seems to be in order...so while it is doing that.... As you can see, after any USB device removal or adding a hotplug event triggers a udevsend race condition. For those of you curious, udevsend is a simple script (/sbin/udevsend): #!/bin/sh if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/udev ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/udev fi sleep 5 [ "$USE_UDEV" != "yes" ] && exit 0 exec /sbin/udevsend "$@" (I added the sleep 5 line so my system can boot and I can issue a killall udevsend) which is called from what I can tell by the kernel when it issues a /sbin/hotplug command. Why it CONTINUES to issue it after the device is loaded, and why it doesn't stop is my question. It would seem that the thing is recursive...(i.e. It calls itself upon exit) so my guess is $USE_UDEV never becomes NO. So at the moment I am looking for something that sets US_DEV to NO in the call train. So if anyone can answer what sets USE_DEV to NO in the HotPlug call train when a USB device is inserted I would be most happy. Thanks for your time... -gc From bill at blackfordcomputing.com Thu Apr 29 15:50:21 2004 From: bill at blackfordcomputing.com (Bill Blackford) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 08:50:21 -0700 (PDT) Subject: fc2 t3 kickstart Message-ID: <52875.134.134.136.3.1083253821.squirrel@www.blackfordcomputing.com> Using my PXE server, the IP negotiation phase seems to be very sluggish up to the point where anaconda is displayed. (I'm comparing this behavior to FC1, RHEL AS 3.0, RH8, RH9, you name it). The syslog on my dhcp host shows the dhcpack early on, but no rpc.mountd (NFS install) for some time afterward. This happens during a PXE manual, non-kickstart install as well. Also, My downloaded iso's md5's checked out fine, I mounted the isos then copied them to the nfs install point. I'm getting an error during the rpm copying phase that 'at.3.1.8-52' is corrupt. I compared it's md5 to that of the iso mounted version. They're both identical. Now when I PXE boot and run a manual install, non-kickstart, I get no errors. I hope I've described this well enough. -- Bill Blackford Network Engineer / System Administrator Blackford Computing bill at blackfordcomputing.com www.blackfordcomputing.com From mark at harddata.com Thu Apr 29 16:01:41 2004 From: mark at harddata.com (Mark Lane) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 10:01:41 -0600 Subject: x86_64 media players In-Reply-To: References: <408BF507.8020104@gmx.de> Message-ID: <200404291001.41147.mark@harddata.com> On April 25, 2004 11:42 am, Satish Balay wrote: > On Sun, 25 Apr 2004, shrek-m at gmx.de wrote: > > Neal Becker wrote: > > >Alan Cox wrote: > > >>On Sat, Apr 24, 2004 at 08:21:21PM -0400, Neal Becker wrote: > > >>>I have a helix player, but all it does is segfault.

XF86config should still be there, but X will use xorg.conf, since test3 uses xorg. Firstboot writes to XF86config which is a bug, but copying XF86config to xorg.conf will do the trick. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121729 If it still doesn't work, make sure the lines for HorizSync and VertRefresh are uncommented.

Description : Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager, only with many more features. It is a text mode application, but it also includes mouse support if you are running GPM. Midnight Commander's best features are its ability to FTP, view tar and zip files, and to poke into RPMs for specific files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Several buffer overflows, several temporary file creation vulnerabilities, and one format string vulnerability have been discovered in Midnight Commander. These vulnerabilities were discovered mostly by Andrew V. Samoilov and Pavel Roskin.

We have a large network with multple domains. Here is what I have found so far: Xandros: Windows networking is near flawless. You open the network browser and BAM! It is there, it just works. Immediatley! You can eeven join an AD domain. Lindows: Same as Xandros, but you can not join a domain. It just works! Fantastic!

"cant.... etc." fully qualify a path & indicate smb://my-domain/user at servername... displays a keyring dialogue box... with user, domain, password is requested... you put in the appropriate info and.... the box displays again... This is not acceptable. If this is how the finished product RedHat Workstartion will work... not good. This needs to work. Everybody else can make it "just" work. What is the disconnect here? Is this being worked on at all? Is it part of the requiremants foer the finished product?

An NFS server has never been required to be running on localhost in the past. autofs would use bind mounts to access filesystems on the local host and bypass NFS altogether. Remember, the exact same setup has been running on everything from FC1 to Red Hat 6.2 (probably earlier but I can't remember back that far). I figured out how to increase the verbosity and got this: Apr 29 13:31:49 compute08 automount[2010]: attempting to mount entry /usr/local/bin Apr 29 13:31:49 compute08 automount[2020]: mount(nfs): no host elected Apr 29 13:31:49 compute08 automount[2020]: failed to mount /usr/local/bin So it indeed seems to be trying NFS instead of using bind mounts as it used to do. Now I'm off to try and figure out why; it would be a real shame if that had stopped working. - J< From tibbs at math.uh.edu Thu Apr 29 18:38:53 2004 From: tibbs at math.uh.edu (Jason L Tibbitts III) Date: 29 Apr 2004 13:38:53 -0500 Subject: autofs confusion In-Reply-To: <40914AD2.6030001@aesgi.com> References: <40914AD2.6030001@aesgi.com> Message-ID: >>>>> "GGC" == Gregory G Carter writes: GGC> You did do some sanity checking like: ping localhost.

Obviously, it doesn't, or I wouldn't be posting this... :) Under 32-bit Fedora you have to do a kernel recompile to get rid of the 4K stacks patch that nVidia's closed-source driver doesn't like. I did a clean build of kernel 2.6.6rc2 (rc3 is out now) using Fedora's i686 .config as a starting point and that worked for me. powernow-k8 power management appeared to work, but that's under heavy revision at the moment so I can see why the Fedora crew would be hesitant to enable it in the prebuilt kernels. Hopefully it will be there in FC2 final? Under 64-bit Fedora no kernel recompile is needed, in fact I haven't managed to successfully build a vanilla 2.6.6rc3 kernel yet. The minion.de patched nVidia drivers worked perfectly and I'm able to play 64-bit UT2004. I did have to manually add a line to /etc/modprobe.conf (or whatever the replacement for modules.conf is), see the nVidia README to find that (or do modprobe nvidia before firing up X). Oh, and if UT2004 is segfaulting for you, see here: https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413 I think 64-bit Fedora has reached the tipping point favoring the migration away from 32-bit, if you can spare the funds to upgrade.

I found a reference to XFS on the Gentoo site, saying that this is the case with XFS because it caches in-transit data in RAM. Given the typical user of SGI machines, complete loss of power is probably unlikely, so this may have been considered a reasonable design compromise. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4#doc_chap4 Mike S -- "Better to light a candle than to curse the damn darkness" - Willow Rosenberg Free Internet WebMail (http://www.postman.net/) Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org/) From Fulko.Hew at sita.aero Thu Apr 29 19:48:54 2004 From: Fulko.Hew at sita.aero (Fulko.Hew at sita.aero) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 15:48:54 -0400 Subject: java-1.5.0b1 plugin the only one working with mozilla in fc2t3.

I did check and jpackage's RPMs were seemingly linking to the gcc32 version, so that shouldn't have been a problem. I'll write to jpackage-discuss and notify that this problem seems to exist.

Reboot after install and X came up in 640x480 even though my hardware is a 1024x768 LCD screen and I selected Generic LCD Panel -> 1024x768 during X configuration. Tried to get 1024x768 graphics using the gui tools "System Settings -> Display" and "Preferences -> Screen Resolution" but this did not work. After some time I fixed the screen resolution problem by manually editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Everything else looks good so far; network autoconfigured, sound works (after adjusting volume using keys on my keyboard), gnome looks great, and Google is now the mozilla default setting for Internet Search! Used up2date successfully, it seems to be more responsive that in the past, it complained about GPG signatures. -Chip From jamacdon at hwy97.com Thu Apr 29 20:58:56 2004 From: jamacdon at hwy97.com (Joe MacDonald) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 13:58:56 -0700 Subject: images/bootdisk.img Message-ID: <1083272336.11709.31.camel@tatooine.hwy97.com> There does not seem to be many options for creating boot disks in the images directory of FC2-test3 I want to do a net install by booting off a floppy.

FC does not recognize this card and there is no reason is should. The drivers are closed source and poorly maintained by matrox. I can install FC2T3 on the system using text mode (linux text nofb) and everything works. There are a few screen problems, but nothing cannot live with. I would like to float the idea that if the video card is not recognized by FC2 then the default init run level should be 3. Currently the default is 5 which makes the system unusable until I boot into single user mode and change the inittab to boot to run level 3. What do you think of this idea? _________________________________________________________________ Stop worrying about overloading your inbox - get MSN Hotmail Extra Storage! http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-us&page=hotmail/es2&ST=1/go/onm00200362ave/direct/01/ From phil at phil-anderson.com Thu Apr 29 23:54:58 2004 From: phil at phil-anderson.com (Phil Anderson) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 09:54:58 +1000 Subject: R30 Thinkpad install, screen resolution issue in X In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20040429235458.GA15948@harry.phil-anderson.com> I got the same problem with my Nvidia Geforce 4, except that half the time it was in 1024x768, half the time in 640x480. It appears that the new system-config-display doesn't enable the hard coded screen settings in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Instead, it relies on DCC probes. My monitor/card combination has some problem, and the DCC Probe fails half the time. To work around this, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look in the Monitor section.

It needs Tkinter and it couldn't find it. Had the same problem with FC1, but installing the Python-tools option via the add-packages screen took care of it. I tried that with FC-T2 with no success early on, but didn't have time to dig into it further. Last night I downloaded T3 and spent today setting up my system to dual boot Win98 & FC-T3. After all that Windows nonsense, I needed my game - bad! So after I loaded T3, I started digging into just where Tkinter was hiding. The T3 setup ran smoothly except that the partitioning section wasn't happy about the dual boot status. It did it, but it didn't like it. The tcl8.4 part was installed at setup. I finally located Tkinter on the 4th T3 disc and tried installing it. It needed two other packages, also on disk 4, tix-8.1.4-96.1.i386.rpm and tk-8.4.5-8.i386.rpm.

Unfortunately it was discovered after Test3's kernel froze that using more than one block device, the i2o_block driver would corrupt kernel memory, oops or panic depending on the situation. These problems have since been seemingly completely fixed by Markus Lidel's efforts, and I really hope we can incorporate these changes in the FC2 final kernel. (Read the bottom of this message for the latest status of this driver development.) The 2.4 kernel series had the dpt_i2o driver maintained by Adaptec. Unfortunately they chose to not prepare the driver for the 2.6 kernel, and as a result these owners were locked out of 2.6 for a while. There is some ongoing development toward fixing the dpt_i2o driver, however it is unclear to me whether it is fully stable. The old 2.4 dpt_i2o driver never did work on 64bit archs. The generic I2O layer originally written by Alan Cox was unusable and broken in various ways in 2.6 until Markus Lidel began hacking at it. He began with his personal x86 32bit box, then my x86-64 dual Opteron server. Due to his efforts, for the first time I am able to use the 2.6 kernel and 64bit kernel with my Adaptec 2110S RAID card. The one thing you have to watch out for however is that the /dev nodes are different when using the generic I2O layer. Rather than having /dev/sdX devices, they are used as /dev/i2o/hdX. > > > See the release notes.

Markus has just posted five I2O patches to LKML. We have extensively tested that combination of I2O changes to be stable for both x86 and x86-64 (Dual Opteron on Tyan 2880S). For this reason it should be safe to include and should not pose added risk to other kernel subsystems. Additionally the raidutils is able to work for the first time on both 32bit and 64bit kernels when the passthru patch is added. This patch was the only portion criticized on linux-scsi mailing list, but after further research Markus believes that it is impossible to use the generic SCSI passthru to achieve the same result. This is because i2o_config uses a char device, while the generic SCSI uses block devices. List of Improvements over Upstream: * No longer corrupts kernel memory/oops/panic when there is more than one logical block device. * i2o_scsi now uses the i2o_context_list_*() functions for transaction context, and therefore now work on 64-bit systems too * Stable operation tested up to four block devices with heavy I/O simultaneously. (bonnie++) * Loads and unloads kernel modules cleanly. * i2o-makefile-cleanup.patch The Kconfig and Makefile in drivers/message/i2o have a CONFIG_I2O_PCI entry, which has been replaced by CONFIG_I2O_CONFIG for the i2o_config module. TODO: * Optimize for 64bit DMA addressing when available. * Change i2o_config to use generic SCSI passthru after it is implemented upstream. http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/ More information and all patches are available here.

Sawfish is already installed as part of an "@ Everything" install of FC2-test3, so I thought I would try this one liner: $ killall -v metacity && sawfish What do you know, it worked. Log out and save changes on exit. Logged back in, and sawfish is still there. Might not be the best/approved way of doing it, but it works for me. Oh, and using ALT-Drag, it seems you can move the window up off the top of the screen using Sawfish, too. -- Chris Kloiber From fedora at andrewfarris.com Fri Apr 30 04:42:55 2004 From: fedora at andrewfarris.com (Andrew Farris) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 21:42:55 -0700 Subject: ARRGH!

You should investigate XFCE4 which does a very nice job of mixing 'light weight' configurable managers with 'gnome-esque' niceties. I am currently running XFCE4 with the gnome-panel as well, its very nice (full vfs menus at my disposal and all the tweaking I desire). > Well.

One example is that does not play nicely with the gnome pager applet (something I could overlook since I used only keyboard shortcuts to switch desktops). Metacity definitely has improved, but I would like to see more user configuration options added to it now, perhaps an 'advanced' mode to the preferences, where the power of sawfish was returned to the user. -- Andrew Farris, CPE senior (California Polytechnic State University, SLO) fedora at andrewfarris.com :: lmorgul on irc.freenode.net "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Indeed, but a version supplied does not really work with a pango font selection. It is true that this is the last "official release" but this was fixed quite a while ago in cvs and that code is no worse in stability that release. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120570 for details and an "updating patch". Sawfish, and quite possibly other window managers as well, is also adversly affected by a bug in libwnck. Check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120652 for that. That one "closed, fixed upstream" but fixes did not percolate to FC2 level so far AFAICS.

This, I believe, is a "feature" which makes a number of workspaces in a gnome-panel a property of metacity. In other words - broken as designed. To get around that in sawfish I came up with the following code for ~/.sawfish/rc ;; set a number of workspaces to what was recorded ;; by "Workspace Switcher Preferences" (set-number-of-workspaces (let* ((str (make-string-output-stream)) (proc (make-process str))) (call-process proc nil "gconftool-2" "-g" "/apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces") (let ((var (get-output-stream-string str))) (let ((nvar (string-looking-at "[0-9]+" var) (string->number (substring var (match-start) (match-end))))) (cond ((numberp nvar) nvar) (t 4)))))) ;; if we do not know any better then make this 4 Of course a much simpler '(set-number-of-workspaces 6)', for example, would do the job too but changing that value would have to be done with an editor. All that extra code is to squeeze that info out of metacity. How to do that something similar for xfce4 I have no idea at the moment.

A lot of people like doing a net install and dont want to pull down the full isos. rescuecd.iso gives those people the utility of the rescue environment without pulling down all of cd1. boot.iso is even smaller and is useful for people who know they don't need the rescue environment. The inclusion of rescuecd.iso as a smallish image, i would wager is going to save a few people butts once they get into trouble after doing a net based install. But i would also wager, no matter how much effort we put into trying to tell people about rescuecd, they will prefer to take the very small boot.iso image for net installs...until they get burned by a bad config and need the rescue environment. -jef"humanity prefers to learn the hard way"spaleta From ivo at vendomar.ee Fri Apr 30 07:01:40 2004 From: ivo at vendomar.ee (Ivo =?ISO-8859-1?Q?S=E4rak?=) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 10:01:40 +0300 Subject: USB hangs/crashes with USB mouse+key drive In-Reply-To: <40914413.5030303@linux.duke.edu> References: <40914413.5030303@linux.duke.edu> Message-ID: <1083308500.1813.2.camel@sarmax> To my observation the USB support is broken in FC2 Test3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121964 On Thu, 2004-04-29 at 21:06, Konstantin Ryabitsev wrote: > Hello, everyone: > > I've been observing this behavior since kernel >1.322.

I blanked the DVD+RW with # growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/zero (or something like that) just fine. But when I'd burnt the DVD+RW with # growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=FC2-test3-i386-DVD.iso it stayed at the stage of writing the lead-out for over an hour.

I located it to be the on-board SATA RAID. My install of Fedora test 3 gets as far as entering keyboard type and then anaconda searches for a previously installed Fedora on the system. Thing is, when my RAID is connected.... this part hangs badly. UNPLUG the SATA RAID, and the install goes OK. I experienced SATA RAID hanging on test1 and test2, but usually this happens only AFTER install finished and I got to first boot. With the SATA RAID disconnected, the install goes OK. Mind you, the kernel does a search for drives on the Silicon Image SATA RAID, and spends a good few minutes there trying to find drives where there are none.... and it's a real pain. I reckon it's the IRQs being used my the RAID that is causing this.......

Metacity is tightly integrated into the GNOME desktop as Enlightenment was in the RH 6.2/7.x age. I find no way to integrate E again into current FC1 GNOME. Either I'll use GNOME+Metacity, or I'll use plain Enlightenment (which sucks too). What I'm missing is the integrated GNOME+E environment.

From Fulko.Hew at sita.aero Fri Apr 30 13:22:23 2004 From: Fulko.Hew at sita.aero (Fulko.Hew at sita.aero) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 09:22:23 -0400 Subject: header/RPM mismatch Message-ID: Yesterday I was complaining about missing RPMs and the fact that the update icon, and up2date were out of sync., so today I thought I'd look at it some more. Today, my icon still says there are 2 RPMs to upgrade, but up2date says that only one is available. But up2date hangs while trying to resolve dependencies. So I went back to using yum. Yum told me that there are two other RPMs (gaim and rpmdb-fedora) that needed updating, and that there were problems with perl-XML-Twig that needs XML::Path, which is not found. So again I told it to ignore perl-XML-Twig, and yum installed gaim and rpmdb-fedora. But alas the icon and up2date are still as confused as ever. Looking at the alert notification tool I see that it says: Package Version Installed Version Available perl-Net-DNS perl-Net-DNS-0.31.3.2 perl-Net-DNS-0.45-2 perl-XML-Twig perl-XML-Twig-3.09-3 perl-XML-Twig-3.13-4 OK, I need perl-XML-Twig-3.13-4. So I manually look at the mirror site: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS and the only version of perl-XML-Twig it has is 3.09-3 and the same goes for perl-Net-DNS (only the old version). Now i look in the mirrors header directory, and they don't have the new version either. But at some time, my system did fetch that header and now it thinks that's what it needs. Did someone release new versions of the headers, without the RPMs, (that my machine sucked)... and then pulled back the new headers, (causing my machine to get into a mode)? 1/ If so, why? 2/ And how do I get my machine to forget about the headers that point to non-existant RPMs?

Because it's not present always. It's not put onto the actual CDs as the space trade-off (you already have the data) isn't really worth it.

It can also be used for kicking off a network install if you boot with 'linux' instead of just hitting enter. This is good for graphical FTP/HTTP installs on machines with less RAM as you don't have to pull the 70 meg second stage into RAM and can instead use the copy on the CD.

The "halt" initscript should store mixer settings with alsactl when you shut down or reboot your system. And /etc/modprobe.conf restores the mixer settings when the ALSA kernel modules are loaded. It should just work. Do you have the alsactl calls in those files?

(And what happens > if you do something like that by accident -- where do you repair it?) i would imagine gnome 2.6 still has some sort of sessions preference like gnome 2.4 had...though i havent gone looking for it yet. If the gnome 2.4 experience is still relevant gnome-session-properties is the command you probably want to learn more about to control "stickiness" of running processes. And if you want to continue to discuss design goals of metacity and gnome's interaction with window managers in general, perhaps this isn't the best forum for that. Your concerns seem to clearly fall outside of "bugs" and more like "wtf are the gnome developers thinking." And if thats the case, you need to move your complaints upstream to the gnome specific lists. But to honest, i think the momentum in the devlopment space about how tightly metacity is integrated into gnome is far past the point where your concern is going to prompt any action. -jef"pining for the good old days when being fluent in fvwm config file syntax made you a super star computer whiz"spaleta From fedora at wir-sind-cool.org Fri Apr 30 14:00:11 2004 From: fedora at wir-sind-cool.org (Michael Schwendt) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 16:00:11 +0200 Subject: Sound loss after 2.6.5-1.327 kernel upgrade (FC2T3) In-Reply-To: <1083186959.14224.15.camel@atharee.columbiamd.ncr.com> References: <1083186959.14224.15.camel@atharee.columbiamd.ncr.com> Message-ID: <20040430160011.20eaac90.fedora@wir-sind-cool.org> On Wed, 28 Apr 2004 17:16:00 -0400, Musa Williams wrote: > Upgraded and rebooted into the 2.6.5-1.327 kernel and lost all sound. > Booted back into 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 and BAM! crystal clear sound.

Yes, but the halt initscript only runs when the system is restarted cleanly. This is my test system and that doesn't always happen :-) I don't consider my approach to be working around bugs in FC, it's just making the system work the way I want. I don't presume to think that everyone wants things to work the way I do.

Both tools can be pointed at completely different repos. Up2date has its configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, and yum has its in /etc/yum.conf. If they are not using the same repository, you will get results like you are explaining. Also, updates that come out from fedora.redhat.com arent picked up by mirrors immediately. There is varying time periods before each mirror will sync with the main repo.

When I install I first get a message that one of my two disks has inconsistent partition table which I chose to ignore. Then I chose new install, personal install and partitioning with disk druid. So far so good but if i then click a little with my mouse on the different partitions Disk Druid hangs. Note that I hav not used any of the buttons to create modify and so on I just changes the highlighted partition. I have not investigated it to much yet. I think it happens when I click on the graphics of the partitions rather then the text list. It works a couple of time but then it hangs. I have switched to the different console window to se if I could se any errors printed but I could not. So the only option is to reboot. I have not issue a bugzilla on it yet I thought I should ask if any other has the same problem.

From investigating this issue, I have found that "You are the man" when it comes to the Adaptec issues, haha. Right now, there is only 1 HD attached to the card. There is no RAID set up. Later I planned to add a 2nd drive and mirror it, but I just wanted to install and configure Test3 before I did that. I2O_core and I2O_block are probed and are loaded, but for some reason, Anaconda says there is no hard drive.

It used to be under "More Preferences" in the Preferences menu, but it's not now... at least on my frankentest system (I haven't had a chance yet to do a clean FC2T3 install). Anyway, this is what I just did to get sawfish installed: 1. Open up a terminal. 2. run 'gnome-session-properties' 3. Current Session Tab 4. Find Metacity, change it from "restart" to "normal" and hit apply. 5. Hit "Remove" 6. Start sawfish ("sawfish &" in the terminal) 7. Find Sawfish in the gnome-session-properties window and change it from "normal" to "restart". Window managers are funky because you can't run more than one at a time... that makes switching them a little tricky. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs at metacon.ca The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves at unb.ca against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves From davej at redhat.com Fri Apr 30 14:30:59 2004 From: davej at redhat.com (Dave Jones) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 15:30:59 +0100 Subject: Differences between installer kernel and installed kernel In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1083335459.7238.2.camel@delerium.codemonkey.org.uk> On Fri, 2004-04-30 at 14:39, David Chisnall wrote: > As with Test 2, the install CD boots fine in VirtualPC 6 and installs. > Once it has installed, it gets as far as saying Ok, booting the kernel > before crashing.

The installer kernel should be the same as the non-smp 586 kernel. Does it work if you boot the installed kernel with the option "noreplacement" ?

But both tools should be using the same config file!!! and the master site and the mirror site should be consistent within themselves ie. I better have the RPM that my hdr file points at. Ie. copy header files last. Also I don't think, by design you should allow either system to 'get into a mode' where the various tables, databases and directories can 'get out of sync' like this. And while I'm at it... This business about three different updating tools that use three different techniques, and 3 different stores, is a piece of ... Pick one and throw the rest away.

I myselft have been having the same problem: -> When booting, the nice boot screen (fram buffer) is jittery and only displays on half the page. -> When the system boots and I choose to "log out" of gnome or kde desktop, the OS locks and the screen keeps getting brighter. The thing to do at this point is either rip the batter out or hold the power button down for a while to cycle the system. Last night I have found a fix/workaround that seems to be working to fix both problem above. First you need to know the correct resolution your laptop screen was built for. For example, my Dell Inspiron is meant to do 1400x1050 . In my xorg.conf file I noticed that it had only 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 as the resolutions. So I added 1400x1050 as the default. I was then able to view the screen at the correct resolution, but still had lockage. So, I removed all resolution settings and only kept the 1400x1050. Now the boot screen looks perfect and no lockage when logging out. From my work, it seems that when you log out of a desktop, Xorg tries to cycle/test the different resolutions and that is what locks the system up. Also I found other listings regarding DDC/laptop issues. I don't know much about the DDC stuff (only that some laptops support it and some dont), so if anyone else can maybe think why this is and explain it to the rest of us. By only having one resolution setting, it does not try others. Works for me. Now I can use the system without cursing it. Hope this helps. To all that contributed to Fedora and Linux in general; Great Job!

Similar symptoms as in the following report from last year? http://bugzilla.redhat.com/102641 I've closed this as "deferred" some time ago because with a changed partition table I was unable to reproduce the bug (which had been 100% reproducible before).

Yes, I think you should pick one and throw the rest away. Fedora shouldn't because different people like different packages. What's this business with multiple GUIs? multiple editors? multiple browsers? For that matter, Fedora only ships two (up2date and yum) and both are using the same format for backend repos by default. -- William Hooper From mattdm at mattdm.org Fri Apr 30 15:09:45 2004 From: mattdm at mattdm.org (Matthew Miller) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 11:09:45 -0400 Subject: ARRGH!

Things should be easier for the updating and believe me, people are watching and reading and taking notes. And despite the busyness that we all have we're trying to reach some consensus on how to solve these problems w/o pissing off too many people and w/o trying to make people feel slighted. I'm working on making yum faster for dep resolution and to do away with the header download, except for headers of packages you actually have to install. :) There is lots of work to be done. There has been some discussion fedora-config-list on the best way to address it and there are lots of needs to be addressed. I hope that there is some work in place to show to users by the time FC3 test1 shows up. Bear with us - it won't be fixed for fc2 - so there's not much point in discussing it on fedora-test-list but on fedora-devel-list and fedora-config-list I think constructive criticism would be welcome.

Kickstart (both ks=cdrom and ks=floppy) is working better for me under FC2t3 than it was under FC2t2! Flaw 1: (major) though kickstart is still not quite working for me, I'm getting much farther than under t1 and t2 and I'm getting consistent behavior on several different platforms. In t1 and t2 I was being asked to load additional drivers by kickstart even though an interactive install using the same CD sailed right through. Under t3 I'm sailing right past that point and getting through most of the install. However, the install eventually dies with an "error installing at-3.1.8-52" dialog box. This happens consistently on different architectures and with different install CDs. The at rpm installs cleanly in an interactive install using the same install CDs. Flaw 2: (minor) The automatically built /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file is close but not quite there. It listed the following clearpart and part lines: #clearpart --linux #part / --fstype ext3 --onpart hda5 #part swap --noformat --onpart hda6 #part /sandbox --fstype ext3 --onpart hda7 Simply uncommenting these lines causes the install to fail with a "requested partition does not exist ... hda5" error. However, using the lines: clearpart --all --initlabel part / --fstype ext3 --size 4096 part /sandbox --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow part swap --size 1024 everything partitions cleanly. As an aside, FC2t3 is installing cleanly (without kickstart) on the HP Proliant platform -- under t1 and t2 I was getting the dreaded "loading cciss drivers" hang. With kickstart it is at least giving me consistent behavior with my other platforms.

If yum is supposed to replace up2date, then its config file, should be a superset of up2date. After all, they are both supposed to do the same thing. The bigger issues is that headers are saved in two different directories on your system, so its guaranteed to get out of sync. As a user, which tool am I supposed to use. The answer (right now is) is... a) we give you a pretty icon on your desktop, but sometimes it lies. b) when you click on the icon it runs up2date, but sometimes it lies And it now lies about the packages sizes too! c) If you decide to carry on with up2date, you now have to ignore all of the GPG errors, because of... (well I don't know). e) Ohh, sometimes up2date hangs... Well just re-install, maybe it'll work. d) If you get frustrated by the now broken up2date and the GPG issues you resort to using yum. But sometimes _it_ lies. So in the end you don't know what you've got, who's wrong, whats wrong or where and how to fix it. I don't mind having choices, but at least one of those choices should work, and if the others don't. Then they shouldn't be supplied. "A man with two clocks, never knows what time it is." Sorry, there just appears to be too much of the 'barely good enough engineering' going on here. Do one thing, make it work, then go on to the next. Not: "It powered up in the lab once, ship it, its a legacy product."

I managed to install FC2T3 on an x86_64 machine only after 'linux noprobe nousb' at a boot prompt in anaconda. I will put more details into bugzilla. Yes, I know that "nousb" does not show up in a help text. This was a "from scratch" installation even if updated to the current devel FC2T2 setup was already running on the same hardware and previously I could just hit to get anaconda to do its business.

I definitely only have 1 audio card, identified by alsamixer as Card: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Chip: SigmaTel STAC9750/51,Conexant id 22 So why show 2 different mixers?

The linux schedular does take into account hyperthreading, but hyperthreading basicly works on the basis that you have an even mix of instrctions (floats, integer, memory, ect), and thus the intel processor can interleave this different types of instructions making it appear like you have two processors per real processor. That said if you don't have that even mix of instructions, then things can get slow. My experience thus far on RH 9, has been that it works great, but maybe I am just getting lucky with my application mix.

Today I discovered it was was choking on Perl:Twig v.3.13-4. The error message is: "unresolvable chain of dependencies - requres Perl:XML XPath" I have a couple of question related to this: 1) I have everything installed from the Test 3 CDs. Why am I running in to a dependency issue like this on an basic update? I already have 3.09-3 installed. How can I resolve it? More long-term: 2) In the case of this conflict, would it not be a good idea to install everything possible and then note which packages couldn't be installed at the end, rather than choking the process at the beginning? 3) I keep getting GP Key (sp?) prompts for each package. Is there a way to bypass this? #2 and #3 speak to the fluidity of an update with up2date, being able to leave it do its business and not having to babysit it. 4) very minor cosmetic point: Why are there three periods on the bottom-left hand corner of the GUI for up2date? It makes it appear like it's still unfinished, which it may be, given it's a beta verion of Fedora. 5) I guess the refresh issue has been well-noted? The blanked out screens while retrieving info make it look as it up2date has stalled and needs to be re-started.

Whichever you choose. Personally I solely use yum. That eliminates the possibility of the two getting out of sync and there's also only one cache for headers/rpm's. If you run into trouble with the headers and packages getting out of sync, yum has options that erase unused headers, all headers, and/or the cached packages. You can also schedule yum to run automatically each night through system-config-services. You can use the same repos with either so you really only need one. I'm sure others could give their reasons for using up2date, but I think most will agree that sticking to one will cause less headaches.

If you run "alsactl restore" directly after reboot, does that restore the PCM slider with value 0 or with a good value? The values are saved in /etc/asound.state, so if you check the timestamp of that file you can find out when it was written to last time (whether on reboot or earlier).

And their controls are independent: > changing PCM slider in one of them does not change the PCM slider in the > other. :( It's a single mixer, but accessible via two differ audio mixer drivers. There is "native ALSA" (devices /dev/snd/* for PCM, mixers, ...) and "ALSA OSS emulation" (devices /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer, ...). The latter provide a compatibility interface for the old OSS/Free audio drivers from the 2.4 kernel series, so many applications don't need to be rewritten for ALSA. I've heard rumours that with some chipsets, the drivers don't route values through between ALSA and ALSA OSS. So when you configure your soundcard mixer with ALSA, the OSS settings can be different. Depending on how much you like to examine this, you could disable the ALSA OSS drivers (they are loaded via /etc/modprobe.dist) and see whether that makes a difference.

Actually for my usage it's quite nice to be able to have separate config files for them. I keep up2date at its default configuration, so the applet only yells at me when there's a published stable update pending, and I can be sure by using up2date that I'm getting the official version. But at the same time in yum.conf I can enable all the testing and extras repositories so I can go and install additional packages from them when I feel the need to. In FC1, at least, the two systems interacted perfectly -- if I updated a package using yum, the rhn applet would immediately notice and stop blinking. Hopefully by FC2 stable that will be true again.

Today I discovered it was was choking on Perl:Twig v.3.13-4. The error message is: "unresolvable chain of dependencies - requres Perl:XML XPath" I have a couple of question related to this: 1) I have everything installed from the Test 3 CDs. Why am I running in to a dependency issue like this on an basic update? I already have 3.09-3 installed. How can I resolve it? More long-term: 2) In the case of this conflict, would it not be a good idea to install everything possible and then note which packages couldn't be installed at the end, rather than choking the process at the beginning? 3) I keep getting GP Key (sp?) prompts for each package. Is there a way to bypass this? #2 and #3 speak to the fluidity of an update with up2date, being able to leave it do its business and not having to babysit it. 4) very minor cosmetic point: Why are there three periods on the bottom-left hand corner of the GUI for up2date? It makes it appear like it's still unfinished, which it may be, given it's a beta verion of Fedora. 5) I guess the refresh issue has been well-noted? The blanked out screens while retrieving info make it look as it up2date has stalled and needs to be re-started.

More than likely, the driver is binary only, and not suitable for any other kernel than the one it says it supports. Usually to use a driver, you have to make a driver disk for use at install time. Most (good) hardware vendors that need to use a driver this way will provide the driver disk image for you.

Apart from that, the alsasound initscript is not included within Fedora Core. It's main purpose is not restoring volume levels, but loading/removing kernel modules to aid alsaconf in doing its job correctly. alsaconf, however, is not included either, since system-config-soundcard does the soundcard configuration.

Such things as: Linux Kernel....the Kernel could be even more rentrant than it is now. For example one of the biggest gains in networking performance over 2.4 series kernel is due to the fact that in 2.4 only one CPU at a time could be serially assigned to handle network traffic. In 2.6 the TCP/IP stack is much more rentrant and more than 1 cpu can handle a network request. But, any applications that uses a rentrant code is a great candidate from HT Technology. Surprisingly, very fews games are candidates for this sort of thing as sharing CPU load to update the screen is problematic when the video card is doing all the work, so such things as 3D games don't really benefit that much. -gc ByteEnable wrote: >On Friday 30 April 2004 11:01, Christian B.

I installed test 3 and after some testing and some problems I decided to do another clean install. Using BootIt NG, I deleted the 3 logical volumes that were used by Fedora. These 3 logical volumes were in an extended partition that also included an NTFS volume. After deleting these volumes, BootIt NG didn't show that there was any free space in the extended partition. It did show the NTFS volume and its size was considerably less than the extended partition size so there should have been free space. Booting Win XP and using disk management I can see the free space. Also, another attempt to install Fedora does result in Fedora seeing the free space. It's only BootIT NG that doesn't see the free space. I'm currently working with the BootIT NG support person to try to resolve this, but I'm wondering if others here might have encountered the same problem. This wasn't a problem with test1 and test2; just test3. Is there anything going on with the disk partitioning that's different in test3?

I actually did that for awhile. up2date would have trouble downloading a package - so I would quit up2date and yum install package to get that package. Worked well. Then I decided to just remove the up2date applet from my dock, because I liked yum better. > > True, if two apps are using two different repositories, I would expect > two different answers, but since they are not, they are using the same > repositories, and the same mirrors, I expect them to report the same thing. If they are using the exact same mirrors, then it's possible that one (I suspect up2date) is caching its header info and not really checking every time. Maybe when the server is being slammed and it doesn't get all the headers, it just goes with what it _did_ manage to get. Which may be why some packages didn't show that they needed updating. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/ From rgleeson at childwelfare.ca Fri Apr 30 21:56:27 2004 From: rgleeson at childwelfare.ca (rgleeson) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 13:56:27 -0800 Subject: how to install GPG keys for up2date?

Wouldn't they? Are they using the same info? By default up2date will use a random mirror (possibly a different one each run). rhn-applet (which I assume is what you mean by rhn) I'm not sure, I will have to look. Yum uses download.fedora.redhat.com. > The fact that three different apps are reporting three different > 'apparent' states of my system is disconcerting. Please give us more info.

It does come with the other GPG keys. > Otherwise, how am I to know? > I know this is a test release, but sorry... Exactly, which means as a tester the decision of what keys to trust falls on you. I definitely don't want up2date automatically importing beta or test keys on a production system. A better question to come out of this is why isn't yum doing gpg checks out of the box? > Because they are all intended to report the same information: > "what RPMs I should be updating" Just to take this reasoning to the extreme... apache and IIS should use the same configuration info because they both "serve HTTP"? The sooner you get past the idea that up2date and yum are different programs, even though they have some functional overlap, the better off you will be. [snip] >>It couldn't possibly be the fact that the mirrors (and main server) are >>being hammered by people downloading the new test release... > > Hammered, just means slow or no data...

Is a pretty cosmetic issue, but IIRC it only happens in 1 place now. The metadata hasn't changed so it still doesn't have the size information to put in before the packages are being downloaded.

The keys for Fedora Core are in /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-1/ . For each key you want to import do: rpm --import If you are using third party repos you will have to look on their website for the GPG key. -- William Hooper From efthym at gmx.net Fri Apr 30 22:16:43 2004 From: efthym at gmx.net (Efthym) Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 18:16:43 -0400 Subject: OpenOffice crash when Save As .doc In-Reply-To: <200404301417.16742.jkeating@j2solutions.net> References: <200404301417.16742.jkeating@j2solutions.net> Message-ID: When saving .sxw Writer files to Word .doc format, OpenOffice crashes.

Have these drivers been changed to only support alsa or what? When I run esd it says that no alsa devices are present, so i assume its using alsa.
