Xinerama Auto-switcher Thingy Using Kudzu
by Jeff Pitman 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi all: Hacked this piece a few years ago. Now, updated to xorg.conf. Haven't searched the internet, but it's probably already been done somewhere. Since X.org doesn't have an auto-switcher mechanism I just hack a kudzu DDC probe in py and then switch config based on that. Config xinerama (or clone or whatever) with two monitors connected to your laptop and then save it as xorg.conf.multi. Oh, save the single screen config to xorg.conf.single first. Then, run gorama. Simple thing really. Someday it'll be trash since Xorg will do it. (Maybe it does it now and I'll be really embarassed.) BTW, to solve the problem where you shutdown with two monitors and you boot up with single, put the call to gorama in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local. If you wonder where to put it, I threw it in /usr/local/sbin, for fun, but you can put it anywhere. have fun, -- -jeff

Requests for FC4
by Jason Dravet 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

I would just try to convert as many programs over to the new interfaces. I am tired of seeing messages like: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.mainloop is deprecated and using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO. Yes there are bugzilla entries for this. Tell everyone FC5 will not ship with the old X font server. Maybe switch from using initrd to initramfs? Start to get rid of the dead wood. Also passing resolution=800x512 on the command line only crashes the X server so I am forced to use a text install. Since I have to use a text install, the xorg.conf contains the wrong information about the monitor and I have to boot into single user mode to copy a working xorg.conf over the old one. It would be nice for this to work properly. Yes there is a bugzilla about this. Please try to get the main distribution down to 1 or 2 CDs. At the rate FC is growing I think FC4 will be 5 CDs. Maybe consider breaking core into server and desktop groups. I think most sysadmins don't install Gnome games or openoffice on a webserver. You need X windows because the Oracle installer requires it. Please include a better firewall configuration tool. The current one is good for only basic firewalls, but I need something that allows me to open specific ports from specific IPs, log all traffic except for this port, or log all traffic on this port only, etc. Someone from RedHat really needs to go through bugzilla. I have been reading the old threads about this. I hope something happens soon. Anaconda really needs to list all packages during the selection part of the install (this goes for text based and graphical installs) or maybe have an advanced menu for experienced users. For example I don't have isdn, so I don't want the isdn packages installed. However there is no place to uncheck a ISDN box during the package selection phase, or am I not looking hard enough. Also a description about each package would be nice. Also, I uncheck a couple of packages that I know have packages depending on them before the install, the checking dependencies phase does not tell me anything is being added, yet those packages are installed. All I am asking for is please tell me when the installer is adding a package because of a dependency so if I want I can go back and tell anaconda to not install that package. I would have delayed the release one at most two weeks. Firefox has had their release date on their website for about month. I would have delayed the release to include the 1.0 release. This extra week would have given people time to further test KDE 3.3.1 so it too could be included in the FC3 release. I am aware of the 'if you keep delaying it will never be released' argument, but with 2 major packages being updated within a week of release makes me think it was released a little prematurely. I use gnome myself, but as someone who uses dial up, I really don't want to see 50 packages being released the first day or two after a release. Just my $0.02. All in all FC3 is a pretty good release. If I had to give it a grade, it would be a B. Jason

Fedora.us wiki down
by Per Bjornsson 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi, While it was mentioned a bit down in an earlier thread I guess that might have been overlooked (at least since I haven't seen any further mention of it and it's still down...): The fedora.us wiki is unavailable at the moment, looks like a MySQL problem as far as I can tell: --- lib/WikiDB/backend/PearDB.php:32: Fatal[256]: Can't connect to database: wikidb_backend_mysql: fatal database error * DB Error: connect failed * ( [nativecode=Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)] ** mysql://fedorawikiuser:XXXXXXXX@localhost/fedorawiki) --- Since I didn't see an admin address on fedora.us I figured this e-mail might find its target audience (i.e. Warren or someone else with admin power at fedora.us) through this list... Best regards, Per Bjornsson

python 2.4 upgrade
by Alan Milligan 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I noted with interest, the python 2.4 upgrade. I had hoped that bug request 120635 regarding integrating new python macros into rpm would have been addressed as part of these changes. Every spec file with a Python dependency has been individually modified to facilitate this upgrade, and each could have benefited from using the new macros. I do hope an opportunity has not been missed.

(no subject)
by Loïc Péron 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi list, I'd lmike to know what needs to be done to get FC3 minimal package set runnning on a i486. It seems only the kernel package is processor specific, and after some research, it seems the i486 and i586 ISA are identical. Could I just install minimal FC3 on a i586 then swap the harddrive to my i486 and hope it runs? Other gotchas? TIA -- Loïc Péron phone:(33) 683 880 177 mailto:loic.peron@bigfoot.com

ACPI Causing Laptop To Emit High-pitch Whine
by Jeff Pitman 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi all: T30 laptop here; I know there's quite a few IBM-toting folks here, so I'm tossing this message here. ACPI causes some wierd interaction with possibly a capacitor near the CPU fan which makes it vibrate at a frequency that the human ear can detect. Course, if your AC is on, you're in the office, outside, etc. you're not going to hear it or care. But, when you'd like to retreat to a quiet setting to hack on some stuff it gets très annoying with this thing whining at you. (Like, you already get enough of that from others during the day...) Anyhow, found a piece here that it happens on DELL: http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2003/Dec/1037.html I notice that we config in thermal.ko statically: CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y So, guess I'll have to rebuild to do some experimenting. But, anyway, if you have suggestions, comments, off-topic redirects, let me know. thanks, -- -jeff

fedora.us and Extras FC3 Status
by Warren Togami 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Enough people were confused about the situation, so I am making this interim anouncement. download.fedora.us for FC3 will only replicate from download.fedora.redhat.com for convenience of apt users. yum users should use official download.fedora.redhat.com mirrors which are twice as plentiful. Currently the RPMS.extras directory is empty, because redhat's infrastructure for the Extras relaunch is not done yet. We're *really* close now with build servers in the rack and CVS in configuration and heavy testing. Lots of tweaking and labor still pending. Don't ask for ETA. If we have to answer questions, it will slow us down further. Extras when built will be simultaneously available for i386 and x86_64 (both supported FC3 archs) and distributed in download.fedora.redhat.com. fedora.us will automatically replicate from those directories for apt users. Details about CVS, contribution legal forms, governance, and development process & policies will be revealed when this relaunch happens. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com
