bonobo-activation-server error
by Partha Bagchi
I get the following error whenever I boot up:
bonobo-activation-server (root-1844): iid OAFIID:BrokenNoType:20000808
has a NULL type
Apr 23 19:09:32 Centrino bonobo-activation-server (root-1844): invalid
character '#' in iid 'OAFIID:This#!!%$iid%^$%_|~!OAFIID_ContainsBadChars'
Has anyone seen this before? I am using FC2T2 with a generic 2.6.5
kernel since I need to have the ipw2100 wireless driver.
Any help appreciated. Thanks,
Partha

test3 DVD ISO not a multiple of 32KiB blocks
by James Ralston
FC2-test2-i386-DVD.iso was 4306010112 bytes, which is a multiple of
32KiB (specifically, 4306010112 bytes = 131409 32KiB-sized blocks).
However, FC2-test3-i386-DVD.iso is 4379752448 bytes, which is *not* a
multiple of 32KiB:
$ factor 4379752448
4379752448: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2138551
Therefore, growisofs pads it by 18432 bytes up to 4379770880 bytes
(133660 32KiB-sized blocks) when burning it. This makes it a pain to
verify the MD5 checksums; instead of being able to just run md5sum on
the device (e.g., "md5sum /dev/hdc"), you have to use dd to read only
the size of the ISO (without the pad).
Was FC2-test3-i386-DVD.iso not being a multiple of 32KiB blocks in
size intentional, or just an oversight? And will the DVD ISO for FC2
final be a multiple of 32KiB blocks in length?

How do I do an upgrade from test2 to test 3 ? I just clean installed test2 as I don't have test 3 cd's yet and
I want to see how the upgrade process works .

FC2t3/x86_64 DRI broken?
by Steven Pritchard
So I just upgraded a x86_64 box to FC2 test3, and while glxinfo says I
have direct rendering, everything else seems to disagree... Neither
tuxracer or et.x86 will start, and glxgears only gives me 11 fps.
I tried setting 'Option "AGPMode" "4"' to see if that would help...
It did get glxgears up to around 540 fps, but nothing else works.
Anyway, the system is a Rioworks HDAMC (AccelerTech "Hurricane 64" -
http://www.accelertech.com/products/motherboard/DK8X.php) with a
single 1.4GHz Opteron and a Radeon 9200SE.
glxinfo output is below. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

kernel-2.6.5-1.332 acting very slow.
by Jim Cornette
I am downloading the test 3 isos now and experienced a system slowdown.
I got errors to dmesg that were repetative and slowed down the system a lot.
The computer was not locked up, but slow as <enter very slow item here>
The bug that I filed was the below.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121812
I could not find one similar. So I filed new. Is this a duplicate? Bug #?

RE: header/RPM mismatch

If yum is not to replace up2date for updating, then why does it exist?
What itch is _it_ scratching that up2date
wouldn't/shouldn't/couldn't scratch?
Or is it another case of 'Not Invented Here' syndrome?

but KDE and Gnome do _not_ do the same thing, and they do not
use the same config files, and they are not infered to work together
(except for the rhn applet that does work on both task bars.)
As for vi vrs emacs, they both operate on the same kind text files,
and when your done editing your file with one, the file is still readable
and usable by the other editor, so thats not a valid analogy.

Its more like neither _uses_ the other's headers...
hence the duplication and inconsistency problems that result.
(see the final comment).

What are the correct keys?
I installed test 3 from the release CDs and went through the
upgrade process. Are there other manual, un-documented steps
that need to be performed to get rid of these GPG errors?
If so, please give me a link.

Yes, 100% reproducible since yesterdays's daily RPM fetch.
... while typing this message, I tried it again, and it no longer
hangs. :-( Maybe some of my earlier playing with the header
directories has resolved something... I don't know....
But the 'there are 2 packages to fetch, but you can only select
one of them' issue still remains.

>So if "you resort to using yum" why do you think it should replace
up2date?
Because I don't know which tool I _should_ be using. :-(
I'd like to use the rhn_applet and up2date because:
a) thats what I used with RH7.x, 8.x, 9.x
b) it always _used_ to work
c) its on the desktop and its pretty,
d) and most of the time it works (or at least it did,
ignoring the 'size reporting' issue and the "GPG error' issues.
But now that doesn't work so I have to use yum,
which gets me a 'little' further.

Sorry, I was talking about the various update notice facilities
and updating processes, not their end product.

And both used to work for me too. Its just that as the days
go by, and as we moved from test2 to test3, things are
degenerating (here).
... snip ...

Because I want some of those new feature, but call me selfish...
I also don't want some of the old features broken. ;-)
Like up2date, or USB hotplug.

If there is a dependency and synchronization requirement on the
updating facility, then rsync is 'inappropriate' to use to maintain
mirrors in order to ensure 'system integrity'.
>>>Yes, I think you should pick one and throw the rest away.

That _used_ to be my experience, but since the virgin install of
test3, this no longer seems to be the case (and its not just me,
count at least 2 occurances here in Canada).

Then I'm back to asking which one _should_ I be using?

The directories where current and ancient headers and rpms are saved:
/var/spool/up2date
/var/cache/yum/development/headers

procps 3.2
by Sean Bruno
I noted that in the 3.x series of procps, the --format option no longer
supports the listing of the cpu in "ps"
Is there another way I can do this without using "top?"

FCT3 - Hangs when installing from CD
by Eric Beyer
I finally got around to downloading test 3 and have attempted to install
it for the last couple of hours but haven't had any luck so far. I am
running into an issue where it is hanging right after the message
"Uncompressing Linux... ok, booting the kernel". From there on out the
cursor just flashes on the left side of the screen and my system is hung,
it requires a hard reset to reboot.
I have searched this list and google for suggestions but haven't had any
luck so far. I tried CD1 in another machine to rule out a bad CD (the
MD5SUMS matched before I burnt them) and the CD appears fine. I am sure it
has something to do with my hardware but I thought I would at least post a
message to see if people with similiar hardware have had some luck.
My configuration is as follows:
ASUS P4P800 Motherboard
P4 2.6GHz (HyperThreading Enabled)
512 MB PC2700 RAM
120 GB SATA drive (set as first drive)
40 GB ATA/100 (PATA)
Plextor 8/4/32 CDRW (master on secondary)
Pioneer DVD ROM (slave)
I have tried different variations such as disabling SATA support,
HyperThreading, "Compatible Mode", and even flashed the BIOS to a more
recent version for S&G... Anyway, thanks in advance.
Thanks!

Hypertreading faster myth or truth?
by Christian B. Ellsworth Capo
Intel says that a cpu with HT turned on is faster, but is that true for
Linux? and for FC2 as well?, I have seen some @intel.com posts so a
Intel Inside view could be very interesing.
some people of the list are also kernel developers... so a kernel
developer view also can be helpful...
In this link are some benchmarks that don't show any real improvement on
a HT-on cpu vs a HT-off CPU.
http://amber.scripps.edu/unc_duke_apr04.html
(not my page... just a google result looking for hypertread linux
benchmark)
Is that True?
Some links to other HT benchmarks on Linux can be helpfull...
greets.
