Issues with test 3
by Mike Martin 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi I installed test 3 last night and I have the following issues 1. Bash scripts not picking up varaiable eg: this (very simple) script ffmpeg -i $2 -b $1 $3 when run results in a message from ffmpeg about io error (no file) 2. Naulitlus burn gives no chance to change burn speed 3. On an exiting user account menu entries are sparse (ie some installed apps missing)

Unable to mount root after upgrade from FC4->FC5t3
by Vladimir Vukicevic 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

After doing an installer-based upgrade from FC4 to FC5t3, at boot I see: scsi0 : ata_piix [...] Loading ahci.ko module Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Any idea what the issue is? I can't find any info on what's changed in the boot process (I'm still able to boot my previous 2.6.14 kernels fine), nor do I seem to be able to get a shell in the initrd via init=/bin/sh (just seems to ignore the init kernel option). Note that at upgrade time, I told the installer to not touch my grub config; it just added the new kernel as an option. Thanks, - Vlad

Printing problem
by Leon Stringer 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi, I've done a simple Entity/Relationship Diagram in Dia and when I came to print it lines were missing. Initially, I thought this was a Dia problem (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332795) but I then thought to test it with FC4. Under FC4 however it prints correctly. So I've uploaded the PostScript of the diagram (which displays correctly) and wondered if anyone could try it to see if they could reproduce the problem and/or suggest what's at fault. It's at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/leon.stringer/fedora/output.ps The problem I see is that the main part of the lines connecting the MEMBER entity to the one above and below are missing (although the 'A' part of the "crows foot" shows). I'm printing to an HP DeskJet 990Cxi. Thanks in advance, Leon...

Booting from USB DVD broken? (FC5T3)
by Jim Cornette 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I seem to remember someone posting to the list regarding problems with installing from a USB interfaced DVD reader/writer. I could not find the previous post. I did however find the problem when attempting to install FC5T3 on two different SBC systems using a Memorex DVD reader/writer. I am able to install the FC5T2 installation from DVD. I checked the burned DVD using the USB DVD recorder/player and it passed the media test. The FC5T5 install fails in both GUI and text modes. FC5T2 installs fine on the same computers and with the same DVD device and brand of blank DVD's used for the burn. I filed a bug report but I thought I'd ask if others are having similar failures and what boot options could be issued to bypass the recently introduced error, if any workarounds available. Jim

Kudzo segmentation Error
by Leslie S Satenstein 01 Mar '06

I was wondering if this is fixed for the go live version. It shows up when I boot, but I feel that the system has not suffered from its lack of presence. Leslie

NFS install of FC5 T3
by William John Murray 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Hello there, I am confused by the NFS install procedure. I have done it on two machines, with mixed impressions. In each case the host ran FC4. For the first one, I am 99% sure all I did was copy all 6 iso images into a directory, NFS serve that, and start a second machine installing using 1 CD. And it worked. For the second, I tried the same, and it said the directory did not contain a Fedora installation. So I read the README, which says to unpack the iso files. I really don't think I did that the first time, but never mind. Done. The installation started, then complained there was no 'repomd' information. So I copied that as well - but if it is needed it should be in the README. Which is correct? Am I dreaming that unpacking the ISO was not needed? Bill

FC5T3 install issues (Video - winbind auth)
by Mike McGrath 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

During my FC5T2 install I had no issues with video, this time around the installer started with part of the top missing (lines going through). Also after changing my monitor in the install to 1920x1200 I could not select that mode without taking the color rate down to thousands. On a successful install the startx screen also has the right 1/4th of the screen covered with horizontal lines. Also during the install proccess after reboot I chose to use winbind authentication. When I finally booted and ran setup, winbind was selected for user info but not user authentication. For some reason the settings got wipped. Even after setting stuff back up its still not allowing me to authenticate. The error I get in the logs is "Got invalid request length: 0" -Mike

Re: Mouse lockups in X.org w/ ATI
by Todd Simi 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

I have a mouse problem, but I am using NVidia, and it happens with a Microsoft USB Optical Mouse as well as a Microsoft PS/2 ball mouse. With mine, the mouse_over and mouse clicks stop working. I have found that sometimes ALT-TAB will reactivate it. Gordon Messmer wrote: > This is interesting... The mouse seems to lock up after 10 seconds of > inactivity. As long as I use the mouse constantly, it doesn't seem to > lock up. > Also, the problem doesn't affect non-optical mice. I have a Dell branded USB mouse which works properly. I'll try to get my hands on another brand of optical mouse later, and see if it's specific to the Logitech brand.
