February 2006 - devel - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Igor Jagec

Hi there! I tried to remove Evolution on fresh installed FC5 Test3 and it has Beagle dependency again :-/ There were no that problem recently, but suddenly it's also here. The second problem is NetworkManager (which is useless to me since I have static wireless IP address) which also has Evolution and Beagle dependency. [root@localhost ~]# yum remove evolution ...

Fixing R300 hangs

I believe that this is almost surely this problem: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-December/011678.html https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4847 http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/ChangeLog?rev=1.... There are some important memory map and other fixes for Radeon cards (especially R300 and above) that hit the xorg CVS tree on February 17, after 7.0. (The author considered them a little too experimental for 7.0.) Apparently without the fixes many people saw lockups using R300 cards without DRI enabled or the r300 DRI drive present. However, with these fixes the instability goes away. Perhaps these upstream CVS patches could be integrated into the Fedora Core patches. If so, the r300 driver could be left in FC5. Of course, we are running low on time, but I think it's a relatively critical bug. Especially if the recent Mesa change doesn't solve the crashes for everyone. John Thacker

Test: Rawhide kernel install crash, SMP crash

by Warren Togami

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183010 Rawhide has been suffering since Friday a crash during kernel installation in "grubby" which causes a failure to add the kernel to grub.conf. http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/rawhide/ I copied new mkinitrd (plus sources) for people suffering from this issue in order to workaround these problems earlier than tonight's rawhide push. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182731 SMP kernel crash http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/devel/ Get 1990+ kernel from here, or wait until tonight's rawhide push. Do not reply here if you see problems, please use Bugzilla. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

udev brokenness with multiple CDROMS

by John Thacker

I know that udev removed mention of %e (the enumeration flag that creates /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom1, etc) from its man page, but I thought that it still worked. However, it's not working for me. I have a DVD+/-RW and a CD-RW. udev is apparently trying to map both of them to just /dev/cdrom, and only one symlink gets created. (It does sometimes change which one gets the link upon reboot.) This is particularly annoying since the PAM magic in /etc/security/console.perms requires the /dev/cdrom* files to exist for each drive in order for the console permissions to be properly set upon login. Should /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules be changed somehow to use something other than %e to get this to work? Output of udevinfo, showing both devices with the same symlinks in the udev database: [root@localhost dev]# udevinfo -q all -n /dev/hdc P: /block/hdc N: hdc S: cdrom S: dvd S: cdwriter S: dvdwriter S: disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:09.0-ide-1:0 E: ID_TYPE=cd E: ID_MODEL=_NEC_DVD_RW_ND-3520A E: ID_SERIAL= E: ID_REVISION=1.04 E: ID_BUS=ata E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:09.0-ide-1:0 [root@localhost dev]# udevinfo -q all -n /dev/hdd P: /block/hdd N: hdd S: cdrom S: cdwriter S: disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:09.0-ide-1:1 E: ID_TYPE=cd E: ID_MODEL=LITE-ON_LTR-24102B E: ID_SERIAL= E: ID_REVISION=5S5A E: ID_BUS=ata E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:09.0-ide-1:1 [root@localhost dev]# udevinfo -q all -n /dev/cdrom P: /block/hdd N: hdd S: cdrom S: cdwriter S: disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:09.0-ide-1:1 E: ID_TYPE=cd E: ID_MODEL=LITE-ON_LTR-24102B E: ID_SERIAL= E: ID_REVISION=5S5A E: ID_BUS=ata E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:09.0-ide-1:1 John Thacker

need help with hal under FC5t3

by Remi Collet

I use a external firewire disk to store a lot of data. Under FC4, it was mounted on "hotplug" using the line present in /etc/fstab (to force the mount point and the UTF8 option). I'm also used to add a hal policy tu add the UTF8 option (for my USB sticks). With FC5, the /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-mount detect the line in /etc/fstab and deny the mount. Questions are - how can i choose the mount point (outside the /media dir) - how can i choose the UTF8 option (the old solution "volume.policy.mount_option.iocharset=utf8" doesn't work) Thanks for your help.

Yum and SRPMs

by n0dalus

Hi, I was wondering if is or ever will be possible to install srpms using yum. In the yum manpage it says you can specify a package using 'package.arch', so I was wondering if that could be done with 'package.src'. I think this would really be a helpful feature. At the moment to get a srpm I have to go to one of the ftp mirrors, find the right folder then search for the right package among hundreds of other files. n0dalus.

Virtual machine software for Fedora testing?

by Joe Desbonnet

Is there any free virtual machine software (like VMWare) that can be used for testing Fedora installation? I want to test the latest version of my delta rpm system for keeping Fedora boxes updated over low bandwidth links. But I don't have a spare machine... Thanks, Joe.
