cart before the horse - libsane-hpaio
by Jim Cornette 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

I had problems when trying to upgrade with hpijs and hplip . They would not upgrade unless I selected libsane-hpaio first and it pulled in the above mentioned packages. The also available cvs package installed without issue. Glibc reverted but available. :-( JIm -- "I remember when I was a kid I used to come home from Sunday School and my mother would get drunk and try to make pancakes." -- George Carlin

Almost everything is segfaulting after yum update
by David Hagood 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

I did a yum update earlier today, and somehow have totally wedged my computer - many critical programs segfault on startu. If I start with SELinux enabled, the system does not get its hostname set (i.e. NIS is broken), and nobody, not even root, can log in. Only if I disable SELinux at boot can I even log in (yes, I have allowed it to do a security relabel). If I disable SELinux at boot, the machine gets its hostname and I can log in, BUT: su segfaults for all users other than root. sendmail immediately segfaults. By "immediately", I mean so immediately that even "ldd /usr/sbin/sendmail" segfaults. Logrotate segfaults if I actually ask it to do anything, though it will run enough to show usage. Python segfaults - so no YUM. gdb segfaults - so I cannot get a backtrace on the offending programs. I'm left to enter this either on my old SGI Indy or my Nokia 770 - which by an accident of history are roughly the same in CPU power...

docbook2pdf missing in FC6?
by Josh 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

I couldn't find docbook2pdf binary after installing docbook-utils on FC6 x86-64. This was available in FC5. It is usually me and I hope it is me. Thanks for the wonderful release. Look forward to FC7 :-D Josh --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo! Music Unlimited Try it today.

I double check the rpm list in /var/log/, it did have the i686 glibc package installed. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jim Cornette <fct-cornette(a)insight.rr.com> To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases <fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com> Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 11:09:18 AM Subject: Re: new problem with graphical login - FIXED Mike Chambers wrote: > On Sun, 2006-10-29 at 03:00 -0800, Dwaine Garden wrote: >> I did the same thing and even grabbed the files from the same ftp >> When rpm was updating, there were two script failures, reboot.

As you noted though, it would not be too difficult to grab the i386 version when downgrading manually with rpm. It sounds possible that the hosed systems might have i386 versions on by mistake. Still waiting for a glibc fix since X and sendmail are unhappy with the latest version.

I re-ran the rpm update for glibc with the -root flag. It updated the rpms and everything is working mint. The scripts did not fail this time around. Weird... I really appreciate your help. You saved the day. Plus I learned about the -root flag.

When I run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' .... Stop there and obviously _do not do that_! In your description your system is hosed, possibly due to failed change in glibc, and chroot will fail. You need to examine and fix your system from "outside", i.e. from a shell on a rescue system. '--root /mnt/sysimage' option to rpm will be helpful in this task.

I did the same thing and even grabbed the files from the same ftp When rpm was updating, there were two script failures, reboot.

FYI I went here: ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/fedora/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS and got: glibc-devel-2.5-3.i386.rpm nscd-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-headers-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.5-3.i386.rpm glibc-utils-2.5-3.i386.rpm then: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage glibc*.rpm nscd*.rpm that fixed it.

I tried to boot by editting the grub entry with 'init=/bin/bash', but it did not work The error message was 'exec of init ('/bin/bash') failed!!!! No such file or directory. With the resuce disc, it's complaining about the same sort of thing. When I run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' is complains it can not find /bin/sh. The rescue disc does find all the drives and the proper files links are in mnt. But can't mount it to make it writable. Any other suggestions. I don't get it. Especially when there are a few people that reverted back fine.

There is an option '--noscripts' which allows you to skip scripts in case of errors. Installing glibc does re-execute init. > Now the box will not boot with an init error. How about booting with 'init=/bin/bash'? > Any help.. Please... I tried the rescue disk, but > not help. Could you be more specific what "not help" means (and stop top-posting)? Rescue disk should use its own libraries. At least this is the case if you will boot from an installation disk with 'linux rescue'. Mount your disks writable, i.e. "Continue" when asked. rpm has an option '--root' which allows you to change a tree which will be affected by operations so you can fix things if you really have a mess on your hands. If you cannot boot "rescue" then you likely have a hardware problem.

Broken link for core-source in mirrorlist
by Dawid Gajownik 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

Hi! Sorry for OT, but I did not know where to report this in bugzilla. If you want to download package from core-source repo for i386 FC6 using mirrorlist in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo you get non-existing URL. http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=core-source-6&arch=i386 gives this output: # no file found for repo = core-source-6, country = global, arch = i386 # filename was: core-source-6-global-i386.txt # repo = core-source-6 country = global arch = i386 # no mirrors found, using default http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/SRPMS/ It should be http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/source/SRP… May someone fix it, please? Regards, Dawid -- ^_*

[OT] nouveau packages for Fedora
by Dawid Gajownik 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

Hi! Right now Rawhide is really boring (devel freeze). If you have a bit more time, nVidia card and would like to test nouveau¹ driver you can check this page → http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FedoraPackages Compared to standard nv driver nouveau supports EXA acceleration and is a bit deobfuscated. I know that it's a bit off topic for this ml, but Fedora is my distro of choice and I thought that it's a Good Thing™ to support OSS drivers. Binary-only blobs must die ;) BTW nouveau requires X.Org X11R7.1 so you can't test it on FC5 :/ ¹ http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ Regards, Dawid -- ^_*
