Can anyone confirm that crtl H no longer toggles hidden file visibility in nautilus? -- Craig Thomas <cjtinhp(a)optonline.net>

nfs default protocol in fc4t1
by Lars Hamann 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi, did fc4t1 change nfs' default protocol from udp to tcp? I had to add a '-o udp' to mount an nfs-export of an old rh7.3 server. Fc3 works without it. Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

FC4t1 - the good, the bad, the slow
by Michael A. Peters 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

The good - I did not need to disconnect my USB card reader to install. Console is very snappy. The bad - firstboot never ran, I had to manually create a non root user to log into gui (as non root) Gnome is absolute molasses, and so is anything while gnome is running. gdm and syslog are hogging cpu, high load average (for a desktop) from /var/log/messages Mar 16 00:14:35 fc4t1 gdm[3450]: Can't set EGID to user GID Mar 16 00:15:05 fc4t1 last message repeated 183549 times Mar 16 00:16:06 fc4t1 last message repeated 369512 times Mar 16 00:17:07 fc4t1 last message repeated 355064 times Mar 16 00:17:40 fc4t1 last message repeated 182934 times Mar 16 00:17:40 fc4t1 gpm[2463]: *** info [mice.c(1766)]: Mar 16 00:17:40 fc4t1 gpm[2463]: imps2: Auto-detected intellimouse PS/2 Mar 16 00:17:40 fc4t1 gdm[3450]: Can't set EGID to user GID Mar 16 00:18:10 fc4t1 last message repeated 181959 times Mar 16 00:19:11 fc4t1 last message repeated 366965 times Mar 16 00:19:44 fc4t1 last message repeated 193307 times Mar 16 00:19:44 fc4t1 kernel: audit(:15321498): major=252 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (1) Mar 16 00:19:44 fc4t1 kernel: audit(:15321464): major=113 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (2) Mar 16 00:19:44 fc4t1 gdm[3450]: Can't set EGID to user GID Mar 16 00:19:52 fc4t1 last message repeated 38743 times I'm guessing that's why ...

Re: localhost has no address
by djmcke 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I figure out my problem. Earlier today I wrote: > Using Fedora Core 4 test 1, my loopback interface has no address. > ifconfig says: > > lo Link encap:Local Loopback > UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) > > This has caused a few things not to work. > Is this some new security thing? I added IPADDR=127.0.0.1 to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo and when I did "ifdown lo" and "ifup lo" it had an address - yipee. The solution actually seens kinda obvious. Perhaps this should be in the file that's installed. Please ignore the following ad... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Video Problems [Re: Old kernel RPMS ]
by Ivan Gyurdiev 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Re-posting from -devel (with corrections to gnome-terminal section). This is the case of a rawhide system experiencing severe instability with the Nvidia driver (7167, but also the earlier one - 6629). The video card is Nvidia 5700 FX with 256 MB RAM. ==================== > ... I do not believe I have enough information at this point > to file a valuable bug report. I wanted to test old kernels > to determine the point of failure first. I also wanted to know > whether problems can arise from the interaction between gcc4-compiled > kernel, and binary kernel modules, and felt that the list was a more > appropriate place to ask this question. Okay, I have some more info now. More importantly, I think I have a reproducible test case (sort of). Setup ================================================================ I haven't had time to go look for old kernels and test, however I can confirm the crash I am dealing with occurs on kernels 1171-1177. I couldn't get 1170 to boot. I am experiencing instability with BOTH the nv open source driver, and the nvidia closed source driver. Additionally I am running X with the RENDER extension. I tried turning that off, and it makes no difference. Given the reproducible behavior, I think overheating is an unlikely source of the problem. It is possible I am dealing with another type of hardware failure, but I'd like to think not, since the hardware is rather new. Types of Crashes =============================== Crash 1: Garbage displayed on screen... diagonal waves or some other nonsense Crash 2: Monitor goes to standby (or whatever it's called that it does when it's switching resolutions, like before starting X). The above two occur with the nv driver. System does not respond to sysrq. Crash 3: Random freeze in the middle of what I'm doing. Screen freezes to a standstill. System responds to sysrq. Sysrq-p shows X to be active. I can provide more info if you'd like. This occurs with the nvidia binary driver. Gnome-Terminal ================================= Gnome-terminal seems to make the system crash in a reproducible fashion. By crash I mean crash type 1 or 2 (I've abandoned the nvidia driver for now while resolving this problem). It crashes most of the time when opening the first terminal. If the terminal manages to open successfully, I can move it around and do whatever, and it will not crash. Opening more terminals does not seem to crash the system. Working with the terminal will sometimes crash the system. Transparency is enabled in the gnome-terminal. I've also seen Crash 1 or 2 immediately following the Fedora boot screen. I've seen the monitor turn off and on (Crash 2) forever after leaving it on for a long time with xscreensaver on. So - any ideas? Perhaps X is at fault? -- Ivan Gyurdiev <ivg2(a)cornell.edu> Cornell University

Install Takes: 3 - 8
by John Pearson 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I don't feel qualified to create feature/bug distinctions. I will just report what I have done. Restarting this morning with a clean install, hardware as follows: System looks like this: Gigabyte GA-K8NS motherboard [nForce3 250 chipset] AMD64 2800+ 1.0G DDR400 ram 30G Maxator ide [lost the rest of the documentation] 70G Seagate sata Yesterday, I could not get a working install to the sata drive. This morning I have after 4 tries. Only by accepting automatic partitioning, NOT requesting an option to include an entry for the FC4T1 installation on the other drive, could I not bomb out on a python script error, or install a system that could not find the kernel. I requested 'disable' for selinux, and selected 'everything' on the final go. With the system up, having taken root: In the midst of update with rhn. Key installed. Package select all does not work. There are duplicate entries in thelist displayed. I am selecting by hand. Thu Mar 17 09:40:11 EST 2005 Selection process seems to have just locked up. All I am running is this terminal window and Kysguard, which show a massive overload of nothing in particular, gdm specifically. up2date package selector is toast. Killing it out. 03/17/2005-09:51:16 AM-EST in /etc/sysconfig/desktop: DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" I will need to shut down and see if this works. 03/17/2005-10:00:14 AM-EST I had to reboot in order to switch display managers. Just restarting xwindows did not do the trick. Noted failures on the reboot: ccsd smartd I could not log on as root with the new login manager. But I can live with that. Ksysguard shows the kdm running essentially zero load. 03/17/2005-10:05:16 AM-EST Retrying up2date, since more cycles are available. No joy. It works up to the package selection dialog. I can't select just one package and proceed with an upgrade. 03/17/2005-10:14:10 AM-EST I am running: yum update And it is doing something - flaking out. I am restarting: yum -t update Nope. 03/17/2005-10:38:11 AM-EST I am trying: yum -t update kde* But first: yum remove jpilot And then: yum -t update kde* I will have to get up2date, or preferably yum working before I can go further with this project. I have read the yum man page, but I seem to be missing something. -Jpearson

(did this with Core 3 PPC on powerbook_G4) I used an external USB-CDR drive to load the Core install CD's, after (boot.iso) booting on the internal powerbook CD drive. It was then not a problem to change out the install CDs with the external CDR. --- thefris
