coreutils and util-linux
by Gene C. 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

The latest updates for FC2-T1 (from development) for the coreutils and util-linux packages have problems. These packages need to be installed together. Because of the version-release of the util-linux package in the base being 2.12pre-3 and the update being 2.12-4, both up2date and rpm consider that the old package is newer. To get around this, you need to manually download the updated util-linux-2.12-4 package (and the coreutils-5.2.0-8 package if you do not have it) and then use rpm -Uvh --force util... coreutils... -- Gene

hpoj difficulties in FC2-test1 (and FC1)
by Steve Ward 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

I've seen some posts about problems with scanning under test1, and I think I understand what's going on. In the startup scripts in /etc/rc.d, hpoj is being started after CUPS. From the hpoj documentation, it appears to me the opposite order is required. This is so the hpoj printer port is available when CUPS starts. On my system I have simply renamed all the S55cups files to S60cups and things seem to work OK. I have also done this on my FC1 system (which is running the kernel.org 2.6.3 kernel) and printing, scanning and card readers on my PSC2210 are working fine.

using latest rawhide as snapshot
by Gene C. 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

With the latest slip for the next full snapshot (FC2-Test2), I started thinking about creating my own snapshot from rawhide (development). This interest was intensified when I noticed that a lot of new packages where in rawhide that where not in FC2-test1. So on Saturday (28 Feb) I grabbed a copy of Fedora/base/*, Fedora/RPMS/* and bott.iso defom development and attempted an nfs everything install. Everything proceeded well until I got to the actual install/ That is, system configuration, package selection, etc. went OK but the install died when it actually tried to install the packages. On my first attempt, it appeared to die due to some selinux configuration issue. On my second attempt booting with selinux=0, it also does but there was no apparent reason. My download cost does not bother me (remarkable what a 3Mbps cable modem plus the right mirror site can do). However, I would prefer not to waste the bandwidth trying to do this daily. Therefore, if one of you Red Hat developers who is knowledgable would mention when the daily snapshot is particularly installable, it would be appreciated. -- Gene

set geometry of kedit
by Harry Putnam 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

This may be a general question about all kde menu items but I see no way to adjust the geometry of kedit. Rigth/left click on the menu item just brings it up. Using menu editor I see a place to set the command line but after looking at the kde help brower on kedit... I didn't see talk of geometry settings. The (starndard for older linux apps) `-geometry' doesn't do it. Seems to have no effect at all like this: kedit -geometry 90x120& Still starts in too small a terminal.

kernel 2.6 and sata
by Levin Fritz 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hi all, I installed the current Fedora development kernel yesterday and tried to boot it, but when it tries to use the hard disk it gets really slow and spits out a lot of "lost interrupt" messages. The problem seems to be the onboard VIA SATA controller. With recent 2.4 kernels (I'm running 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl right now) the same hardware works just fine. I tried the kernel-2.6.3-1.116 rpm and a 2.6.4-rc1 kernel I compiled myself; the 2.6.4-rc1 one had the exact same problem. I have a Pentium IV with onboard VIA ATA/SATA controller, an ATAPI CD/DVD drive connected with parallel ATA and a Seagate Barracuda harddisk connected with SATA. I appended (part of) the output of lscpi and the messages I got from the kernel while booting at the end of this email. Tell me if you need more information. Since my hardware works fine with kernel 2.4.22, that points to a bug in the 2.6 kernel, right? Does anyone know how to fix this or who I should be asking about it? Thanks in advance for your help, Levin Here's what lspci -vv knows about the ata controller(s): 00:0f.0 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 3149 (rev 80) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) Subsystem: FIRST INTERNATIONAL Computer Inc: Unknown device 921f Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at bc00 [size=8] Region 1: I/O ports at c000 [size=4] Region 2: I/O ports at c400 [size=8] Region 3: I/O ports at c800 [size=4] Region 4: I/O ports at cc00 [size=16] Region 5: I/O ports at d000 [size=256] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Apt-get downloading packages
by jim tate 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Fedora core Test1. Apt-get upgrade , downdloaded a number of RPM packages from freshrpms.us.net/development and put them in the /var/cache/apt/archive and they are later versions than installed . Why can't I rpm -Uvh *.rpm those packages? Apt-get comes back with something about "Unsigned /var/cache/apt/archive (for all the packages) what gives, Am I of the understanding that you just can't upgrade Fedora Test1 core? Thanks Jim Tate

NFS fails due to remove_locks_posix in kernel 2.6.3-1.116
by G.Wolfe Woodbury 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

If bugzilla'd this, but the latest kernel build won't run the current NFSds due to a missing kernel symbol in the NFS modules. I've had to drop back to the custom 2.6.3-1.110 that I've been using. -- Gregory G.

Kickstart doesn't?
by Lars Kellogg-Stedman 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Howdy all, I'm netbooting into the Fedora (test 1.90) installer, and the installer is having a hard time aquiring a lease from my DHCP server (ISC DHCP version whatever's-current-in-redhat-9). I see the requests going out, an the following errors in the syslog on the DHCP server: Feb 27 19:54:38 flowers dhcpd: fallback_discard: Resource temporarily unavailable What's more: - The PXE loader (pxelinux) is able to aquire a lease w/o a problem, and - The second stage installer is also able to aquire a lease. This system is using a 3Com 3C905C-TXM NIC. I recall seeing a similar issue discussed in the archives, but I'm unable to search the archives at the moment ("redhat.com is temporarily unavailable. Please try back later."). Has anyone else run into this problem? -- Lars
