partitioning problems Fedora Core 3 Test 1?
by box01＠jens-wannenmacher.de 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Hello, I read that Fedora Core 2 could damage the partition table while installation. ( http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html ) Is this still a problem in Fedora 3 Test 1? Thanks and best regards, Jens

Re: startx vs init 5
by Dwaine Castle 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Brian, I've listed some of the console output below. /etc/X11/perfdm does start the GUI without the error messages, but that is because it sends everthing to /dev/null. I guess that is why I couldn't find these error messages in the logs. So, these errors may occur when I start X sessions with init 5. Is runlevel 5 unimportant to X-windows? Thanks.

Some packages need updating (relies on libcurl.so.2)
by Paul F. Johnson 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Hi, yum update has failed as it's looking for libcurl.so.2 for vorbis-tools, xine-ui, grip and php. This looks like a packaging error as the lib is provided in curl 0-7.11.1-2 . By the looks of it, these need updating as curl 0-7.12.0-2 is on the update list TTFN Paul -- "Look. If you had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted.

FC3T1 - After Install, can no longer SSH into system from FC1
by richard mullens 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

I did a clean install of FC3T1 on a machine that had FC1 on it. Afterwards another machine (installed with FC1) would no longer SSH into the machine. The FC1 advice on overcoming this wasn't helpful to a newbie. Of course this is a problem with FC1. Don't know if this happens on FC3T1. In retrospect, I guess it would have helped if I'd chosen a different IP address (or ethernet card ?).

[FC3] Differences in ssh or Xauthorization...
by Harry Putnam 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

In past versions I've been able to access root while in $user X session like this: xterm -e ssh root@localhost That would bring up an xterm with a password request. Once logged in this root xterm would then have priviledges to run X applications in users X session. It could start its own `netscape' session for example. I don't normally run netscape as root but am using it here for a clear example. The real apps I'm having this problem with are things like emacs or gvim. In FC3, when I do this, the root xterm cannot get access to my user display. I get errors like: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: I know about `xhost' and the X11 forwarding of ssh (which is set to YES) but in the past nothing like that was necessary. Anyone know what changes are causing this?

nForce3 250Gb/MSI K8N Neo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am trying to get FC running on the above h/w. I tried FC2 for AMD64 (FC2-x86_64). It installs OK, but it hangs during boot[1]. So, I tried FC3 test1 (FC3-test1-x86_64), but it doesn't even boot from the CD - I get a screen of white noise[2] Can someone help? Max. [1] The FC grub(?) screen shows up with only one thing on the list. When I hit return, I see it show the 'hit (I) to boot manually' or something like that (I don't hit any keys), but the screen goes blank. I wait a long time, but it doesn't come back. If I hit the power button, it comes back (the last boot message is to do with the swap space), displaying the shutdown and power off messages; and it then powers off. [2] My video card is a PCI ATI card. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBBgJS4frZ3W7OHZMRAmwwAJ0a5hg9H7NQt9JFQ4yFa7c6clxLBwCeIc73 ikgD4vq1ClX29LVJXvUd3Ko= =wegz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

yum groupinstall groupupgrade
by Harry Putnam 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

How do the yum options groupinstall groupupgrade work? The yum man page doesn't bother to explain any more than: * groupinstall [...] * groupupdate [...] Which appears it would be `yum groupupgrade pkg pkg2 pkg3' That fails though so it must mean something different. yum groupupdate cdda2wav cdrecord Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: My fedraw mirror, or real carroll rawhide, or kernel.org mirror rawhide Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Getting groups from servers yumgroups.xml 0% | | 0 B --:-- ET yumgroups.xml 100% |=========================| 411 kB 00:00

Boot up messages concerning devlabel
by Harry Putnam 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

There seems to be some sort of timing problem or something related to devlabel activity during bootup. After a complete update (except perl) I see many lines of warning during bootup that something can't find: /var/lib/devlabel/ignore_list And once booted a ls -l /var/lib/devlabel/ignore_list shows a zero length file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 26 17:58 /var/lib/devlabel/ignore_list Anyone know what this is about. Doesn't seem to be particularly harmful but then I'm probably not really using devlabel for anything.

[FC3] Can yum download progress graph be controlled
by Harry Putnam 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

I wondered if there is a setting that controls how yum records download progress. What I see currently is a line for every few kb of increased data like this. Getting cups-1.1.21-1.rc1.3.i386.rpm cups-1.1.21-1.rc1.3.i386. 0% | | 0 B --:-- ET cups-1.1.21-1.rc1.3.i386. 2% | | 56 kB 00:13 ET cups-1.1.21-1.rc1.3.i386. 8% |== | 224 kB 00:12 ET cups-1.1.21-1.rc1.3.i386. 15% |=== | 392 kB 00:11 ET cups-1.1.21-1.rc1.3.i386. 22% |===== | 560 kB 00:10 ET [...] It can take up lots of screen realestate. Can I set something so this just occupies one line?
