yum enhancement request - save bandwidth
by Jerry Williams 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Most of the time I already have a mirror of the updates. And it seems like a waste of bandwidth to download things again. Would it be possible to add a line to yum to say look here first. And "here" could be either another directory that might be nfs mounted or a web site. If you find the package then use the local copy if not then go and pull it down from whatever site. I am only talking about packages, not headers. Or if I am just doing a yum install and have a CD/DVD with the package on it and it would be nice to again get it local if possible. Maybe even list multiple local places. Like is it on a CD/DVD in the drive? Nope is it on a local web site nope, then get it off the web. I do want it to go to the web and find out what the current version is and if I have it great, it not go get it. If this is already done, please point me at the docs so that I can use it. Thanks!

Nut not in Desktop spin ?!
by Bruno Wolff III 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

I noticed that nut is not in the desktop spin. Maybe I am way out there, but I think it is appropiate for desktops to have UPS units; and given the relatively small footprint (1.4 MB) of nut, I am surprised it isn't included in the desktop spin.

F7-LiveCD (386) report
by Miles Lane 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

LiveCD (386) regular boot: gnome-games-data missing? (no cards in aisleriot, blocks in mahjongg, etc) My wireless card didn't work. The ipw2200 module loading process failed to load the firmware. The partitions on my hard drive were not automounted (NTFS, vfat and ext3). I prefer the Firefox icon over the one currently displayed in the top panel. When I booted, there was no configuring of the date/time, language or keyboard layout. Avahi must not be running, because the "Default Printer" configuration program in Control Center did not see my network printer. For the Clearlooks theme, changing the font color for Selected Items doesn't work. AbiWord crashed. "Assistive technology requested but accessibility registry not found..." message requires a mouse-click before Xorg will start. No boot sound. After enabling Desktop Effects and Cube in Control Center, it is not intuitive that the Workspace Switcher Applet will switch between cubes. Also, after enabling desktop effects, new windows get displayed with their titlebars hidden beneath the top gnome panel. With compiz, Ilike the wobbly windows, but hate the jiggly menus. ------------------------- Testing with the LiveCD (386) loaded into RAM (I have 1.5GB RAM): System became unusable when I loaded Firefox, after loading Control Center and gnome-terminal.

f7test1: Who's on first? [SATA+PATA device naming]
by John Reiser 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

During install of f7test1, the hard drives were: /dev/sda /dev/sdb. Upon first boot, the names became swapped: /dev/sdb /dev/sda. Then I powered down, plugged in a new hard drive and rebooted. Everything changed again: /dev/sdc /dev/sdb with the new drive being /dev/sda. I can handle file systems: they have labels and UUIDs. I'd like a choice to deal with SATA and PATA interfaces using some kind of name that never changes, and preferably a name that relates to something I can see, such as: "the drive attached to cable 2 of the card in slot 5" or "the <Manufacturer> drive with serial number 1D2C3B4A", etc. How can I do this? Note that /var/log/messages no longer has any lines that identify drives like the old "found [or attached] SCSI device" messages in FC6. There are no longer any "partition check" messages or capacity messages, either. Presumably something in /proc/bus or /sys knows, but perhaps udev needs some help? [At install one drive was SATA (/dev/sda in FC6), the other was PATA (/dev/hdd in FC6; the FC6 /dev/hdc is a DVD that became /dev/scd0). The added drive was PATA (/dev/hda in FC6.)] --

[FC7-test1_dvd] keymaps set to US after Xfailed
by LarryT 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Were setting up the vmware tools and have to restart X. Like i noted it before, when xorg must be regenerated, it is automatically set back to US keymap. Must mention that I got a new xorg.conf now which is called : xorg.conf.BeforeVmwareToolsIntall ! Love that :) So i dunno which configuration file the system use to set X ??? Larry

Getting OpenOffice.org apps to start
by Patrick Lists 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, Iirc there were some reports that OO.org apps would not start. On an updated box I tried running Writer. It did nothing. Output of ps ax shows that it hangs on: /usr/bin/gij -classpath /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program JREProperties If I kill that process then Writer suddenly appears. Hope this helps. Regards, Patrick

f7-test1 pup enhancement request, is it working?
by Jerry Williams 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

This is more of an enhancement request. There are already 80 updates! So when I clicked on Apply updates, I wasn't sure did I click the button or not. Run top in another window to see what is going on, well it is using some cpu time now and again. Would be nice to have some indicator that would let you know that you had clicked the "Apply updates" button and that it was looking at dependencies.

f7-test1 ipv6 ?
by Jerry Williams 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

I am not running ipv6 and some it is disabled for dhcp. My /etc/sysconfig/network looks a little funny. Also if I am not running ipv6 is there a reason that ip6tables shouldn't just be turned off? Seems like things should be smart enough to say no ipv6, no ip6tables and turn it off. # cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes yesHOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
