CPU Spikes while closing gtk2 windows/tabs?
by Warren Togami 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

After upgrading to rawhide September 28th, it seems that closing some gtk2 windows or tabs causes a spike of 100% CPU for several seconds before the window/tab disappears. I'm seeing this with firefox windows, or gaim tabs. Anyone know if any recent changes could have caused this? Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

sensors-detect not working
by Timothy Sandel 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

When I try to run sensors-detect I get a message: No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them. I'm running kernel 2.6.8-1.541smp. If I load the modules I need manually, sensors will display stats. Timothy

udev problems
by Thomas Zehetbauer 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hi, although I suspect it is not recommended practice I do a regulary "rpm --freshen *.rpm" from my local rawhide mirror. This recently left me with an almost empty /dev directory that did not even allow me to boot with init=/bin/bash. I guess the udev update was missing udevstart in the %postinstall script. Now I am still missing at least my USB tty devices (for Palm) and have a non world-readable /dev/rtc.

Problem editing user/group settings
by Thomas Taylor 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Tonight I tried to go into system-config-users to add groups to my user account I got the message: The user database cannot be read. This problem is most likely caused by a mismatch in /etc/password and /etc/shadow. My question is WHY and how do I CORRECT it? FC3t2 kernel 2.6.8-1.541smp KDE3.3 I want to do this so I can add groups to my user account so I can add devices to my user desktop. TIA, Tom -- Tom Taylor registered linux user #263467

Custom Kernel?
by Thomas Zehetbauer 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

As far as I remember there was always support for running RedHat/Fedora with a custom/vanilla/stock kernel. Now one of my bug reports has been closed because I am not using a Fedora kernel and the same question has been raised in another bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133865 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133789#c4 Could someone please clarify?

glibc problem.
by Robert Couture 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hello ... I am using FC3t1 updated to latest rawhide (shouldn't that have made my system FC3t2? fedora-release still says t1) I am not sure how best to explain this because I am very new to the programming world and tend to get lost easily. However I have encountered something with the latest glibc update in rawhide and need to find out if it something broken in glibc. I have been using a BBS program called Synchronet (does anybody remember dial up BBSes?) I compile the source from CVS (http://cvs.synchro.net) and it has worked flawlessly until I updated to glibc-2.3.3-55 (headers, common, devel) The program compiles without error (just the usual warnings that have been there for a while) However now the program won't run correctly. There are a LOT of errors regarding: Got signal (26435072) Signal has no handler (unexpected) Throwing the program into endless loops. To ensure that this wasn't a recent change to this program, I reverted to an older, known working tarball of the source and the same thing occurred. One of the developers mentioned that it may be related pthread and to look for changes in: sigemptyset() sigaddset() pthread_sigmask() sigwait() When I reverted back to glibc-2.3.3-54 (common, header, devel) the problem went away. I am hoping that someone here with more knowledge than I can shed some light on this and whether I need to file a bugzilla against glibc or if there was an intentional change. I hope that I explained this well enough and thanks for your time. Robert Couture
