System and network response slower
by Aaron Kincer 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

After the following package updates (ripped straight from the update log), my system is slower and network response is almost unusable. In other words, anything using the Internet is miserable now including e-mail. [Tue Mar 30 12:36:44 2004] up2date installing packages: ['kernel-2.6.4-1.298', 'kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.126'] [Tue Mar 30 12:56:46 2004] up2date installing packages: ['SDL-1.2.7-2.1', 'SDL_mixer-1.2.5-1', 'alsa-lib-1.0.3a-1'] [Tue Mar 30 13:07:50 2004] up2date installing packages: ['bash-2.05b-38', 'fedora-release-1.91-6'] How do you roll back to older packages? I can't hardly use my computer now. Also worthy of note is booting to older kernel versions DOES NOT fix the problem.

selinux and mounted partitions
by Thomas Molina 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

I have my system set up for testing and easy swap between setups. I put the root partition on one ide drive (/dev/hda) and /home and /usr/local on a second ide drive (/dev/hdd). /dev/hda is in a removable caddy, allowing me to swap in a known stable setup or change between several test setups. How possible is it that I will run into trouble when I install an selinux-enabled setup, swap out to my stable caddy, and then swap back in the selinux setup? If so, what could I do to minimize the problems? Thanks.

FC2T2 Evolution Problems
by Will H. Backman 31 Mar '04

Clicking on a link in e-mail body does not launch browser, nor does right-click "launch in browser". Looks like epiphany %s is the deafult, although it seems to be not installed on a Personal Workstation install. Right clicking on IMAP folder in tree-view does not produce a pop-up menu allowing me to add my IMAP INBOX to the shortcut bar. Anyone else getting these errors?

SELinux issue
by Parrish M Myers 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

Help! I have a habit of keeping a copy of Knoppix close by when installing Linux on my laptop. Primarily because the video card [ATI Radeon Mobility U1] will normally cause linux to go bonkers and I have to hard reboot]. Well, the installation went well enough, until the system tried to boot for the first time. It was OK though the first boot wizard and all, but then the screen went black! Assuming this was a video card issues again, I booted in knoppix and changed the inittab file to boot to runlevel 3. Now! I can't boot at all. SELinux claims there is an issue with the file and the system can't find an init file. How do I relabel, or whatever, this file so the system will accept the file again? I have even tried adding 'selinux=0' to the boot options and this doesn't work either. It seems my inittab file is just tainted. It's driving me crazy! Can someone help?

Audio problem
by Paul F. Johnson 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

Hi, On my area when I use xmms and go to the preferences, I see I'm using ALSA. Click on configure, I can see 4 devices : default, two soundblasters (hw:0,0 and hw:0,3) as well as the internal Intel sound. I have the device set to default and the use software volume control box ticked. XMMS works fine on my area. If I go to the wifes area, xmms only shows the default device. I've set it to use ALSA with the volume control box ticked. The only device available is the default one. When I tried using kmix, it is showing up as there being no audio mixers at all. What files do I need to alter on /dev so that any user has access to them? Currently, /dev/mixer is set as crw------- 1 paul root 14, 0 /dev/mixer0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 ->mixer /dev/mixer1 crw 1 paul root 14,16 I imagine I need to set /dev/mixer & /dev/mixer1 to be chown root.root and chmod 777 on it.

any chance for a quick respin of FC2t2?
by Robert P. J. Day 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

i'm still working my way thru the numerous emails discussing the booting problem with FC2t2, and i haven't seen any mention of debugging the boot problem and issuing updated CDs/DVD images. i was just about to start a DVD ISO download, but i'm willing to wait if a new image might be available in the next few days that fixes this. any chance of that? or do we just go with what's there? rday

Problems with Core 2 Test 2
by Michael A. Peters 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

First let me state that C2T1 worked beautifully - no issues at all. Here's my hardware - Asus A7N8X Deluxe (Athlon 2700 XP+) w/ 256 MB PC 3200 IDE Bus 0 - Master: (/dev/hda) 4GB IDE drive (Quantum Fireball - originally from a 233 Rev A Beige G3 - it's my test install drive) IDE Bus 1 - Master: (/dev/hdc) Sony CD-RW CRX140E IDE Bus 1 - Slave : (/dev/hdd) Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1712 Generic floppy on /dev/fd0 Video: AOpen (Generic) NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] PCI Cards: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U (no drives attached) Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (tulip card) U.S. Robotics 56k PCI hardware modem Problems -=- The CD's (I tried CD1 and CD2) would not boot (md5sum of burned media checks out fine) I had deb sarge on my test drive - so I booted that and mounted the first CD to look for a boot floppy (like I had to use to boot Mandrake 10 C.D.) - found the boot.iso - burned that, that booted. First that hung at trying to load a USB mass storage driver. So I shut down, detached my digital camera card reader, and tried again. It got a little farther - but said it didn't have a driver for the media - and asked if I wanted to load a driver. I didn't see any nforce IDE drivers in the list - I'm assuming it's a bug. -=- At any rate - FC2T1 boots and installs on this hardware absolutely no problem. Even with the flash card reader attached. Since Mandrake Community Download 10 also has the same issue - I'm wondering if Fedora and Mandrake are using the same mastering software (I assume isolinux and friends) that happens to be broken with my CDROM drive ... (RH 8/Knoppix/FC2T1/MandrakeMove/Sarge all boot me no problem). Is there a boot floppy anywhere I can gran to try to boot the install CD 1 that way? Anyone else with similar hardware have a solution?

failure mounting a PLEXTOR CD-R PX-320A
by Joao Palhoto Matos 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

Hello: Can someone offer some advice on this one before I dive into bugzilla or start swapping hardware? I have a PLEXTOR CD-R which seems to be correctly identified by the hardware browser as a PLEXTOR CD-R PX-320A which used to perform well but not frequently (I believe it worked with FC2T1). Currently mount attempts by root give [root@a213-22-64-242 root]# mount /dev/cdrom mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device /dev/cdrom is a symbolic link to /dev/hdc Line in /etc/fstab is /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 and was freshly included by kudzu. Failure happens both with kernel-2.6.4-1.281 and kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 This is a i386 FC2T2 system (I am not particularly fond of testing anaconda and burning CDs except for the occasional data backup so I got here all the way from RH9 using up2date / apt / yum and, hardly using CDs, not going through any kind of OS install and reading the list; I am mentioning this because lots of people on this list seem to be unaware of the possibility and become quite upset with failed CD boots for installation...). -- João Palhoto Matos http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~jmatos Departamento de Matemática Instituto Superior Técnico Lisboa mailto:jmatos@math.ist.utl.pt
