7.92 DOA
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
After returning from a month long overseas trip I updated
my office machine which was running 7.91. It ceased to
initialize.
I downloaded
and installed 7.92 x86_64 on an Intel DG33BU motherboard, Core Duo,
and 7950gt pci-e video.
Graphic install failed with the screen scrambled.
Text install proceeded normally but did not detect any
other operating systems including XP.
Once loaded, Fedora fails the boot with repeated
init[1] trap divide error rip:2aaaab563c44 rsp:7fff7c51eba0 error:0
I had to reinstall Ubuntu Studio 64 7.10 to get access to the machine.
Ubuntu now detects most other operating systems and offers to put
them in Grub.
Summary:
7.92: no graphical install. Text install misses XP. Fedora init fails.
Ubuntu Studio 64 7.10: Text install OK, systems runs fine.
Sabayon Professional 1.1 live: boots and runs, motherboard ethernet
not seen.

notification-daemon not running
by Mads Villadsen
Recently (within the last week or so) I noticed that the
notification-daemon was no longer running.
This of course means that I don't get any nice notification bubbles from
network manager, the update system or anything else.
I can manually start notification-daemon and then everything works fine
again.
What package is responsible for starting notification-daemon? And I am
the only one seeing this problem?

Fedora 8 blocker update - testers needed (still!)
by Will Woods
As promised, here's an update on the current Fedora 8 Blocker list.
As a note: the deadline for blocker fixes is Tuesday, October 29. If we
still have unfixed critical bugs Tuesday, the release will have to be
delayed.
But I don't think that'll happen. Things are looking OK. We currently
have 14 bugs on the blocker list, which I'll talk about in detail below.
About half of them have fixes that are waiting for confirmation, and a
couple of them could be dropped if necessary because they only affect
particular, uncommon hardware.
What we need help testing is:
1) ALSA - 1.0.15 was released last week, and we decided it was a
low-risk update that would fix audio problems. for a lot of people. You
probably saw mail from Chuck Ebbert about this already.
2) Intel wireless - John Linville, our fearless (and handsome) wireless
maintainer, just added a fix for iwlwifi that should help some Intel
wireless users.
Both of the above patches are in kernel-2.6.23.1-37.fc8, which should
land in rawhide tomorrow. You can get it from koji in the meantime:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22511
3) dmraid, especially Intel
See bug 349161 below. Something is causing mkinitrd to mess up the /init
script, which leaves the reporter's system unbootable. We can't
reproduce it at all.
If you've got dmraid (aka BIOS RAID aka fakeraid) hardware, ESPECIALLY
the one mentioned in this bug (ICH9R chipset + Intel Matrix Raid),
please try to install rawhide and let us know if it works or not.
Here's the full blocker list, in detail:
=== Miscellaneous bugs from last time ===
* Bug 208607: ASSIGNED - kernel maintainers
- mkinitrd: iSCSI root requires crc32c module
I believe we plan to fix this by building crc32c into the kernel for
release (which would make this a non-blocker). We'll hopefully have a
smarter fix for F9 that will actually close the bug.
* Bug 242766: ASSIGNED - alan
- [pata_via via82c596a] hard drive not found during install attempt
All testing with pata_via seems to indicate that it works for most
people. Alan's debugging efforts indicate that this is a drive-specific
failure on a machine with a buggy BIOS. Fun. This will be dropped from
the blocker list, since it works under normal circumstances.
(By the way- thanks to everyone who answered the call for testing here.
You guys rock!)
* Bug 335161: ASSIGNED - triad (Linus Walleij)
- multilib file conflicts in gnokii
Fix was incomplete, needs a rebuild. This prevents people from being
able to yum upgrade from F8Test3 to F8 final.
* Bug 330931: MODIFIED - katzj
- liveinst fails - sg devices confuse anaconda?
This was waiting on some info from the reporter, which has been
provided. It involves some uncommon hardware so this bug may be dropped
from the blocker list if it can't be fixed easily.
=== NetworkManager bugs ===
* Bug 311511: NEW - dcbw
- x86_64 iwl3945 NM crash after Keyring loop Deny
Comments indicate that the crash is fixed, but it still loops on bad
passwords.
* Bug 323371: NEEDINFO - dcbw
- NM 0.7 doesn't support WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (certificate-based
authentication)
Reporter seems to indicate that this is mostly fixed, but some testing
on a fresh install is needed to confirm the fix.
* Bug 353091: MODIFIED - dcbw
- NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.3.svn3020.fc8 crashes when trying to switch to
wireless Network
nm-applet crasher. A fix will be in the next build, and then this can be
retested and (hopefully) closed.
=== Added since Wednesday ===
* Bug 349161: NEW - pjones
- Missing entries in the init script of the initrd image makes the
system unbootable on dmraid
This is a mysterious one. mkinitrd is creating a bad /init script for a
dmraid (aka fakeraid, aka BIOS RAID) raid0 set. But we can't reproduce
it on any of the dmraid machines we've tried.
It's a fixable problem, and I don't think the hardware is very common,
and we can't reproduce the bug ourselves, so.. if push comes to shove
this bug might get dropped from the blocker list and fixed post-F8.
* Bug 352511: MODIFIED - dwalsh
- return of an avc on useradd with livecd user
Should be fixed in selinux-policy -33 - we'll confirm as soon as Jeremy
makes some Live images.
* Bug 353571: MODIFIED - dwalsh
- /usr/bin/crontab blocked by selinux
Apparently fixed in selinux-policy-3.0.8-36; waiting for confirmation
from the reporter.
* Bug 353961: NEW - twoerner
- lokkit doesn't write iptables config with --nostart
This was reported earlier this morning - no response from the maintainer
yet. Technically I don't think this breaks any of the ReleaseCriteria,
so it could be dropped. But proper firewall function is important for
security so we want to keep an eye on this.
* Bug 354531: ASSIGNED - dwmw2
- script failure
This is a simple scriptlet problem with bluez-utils, but it keeps the
'bluetooth' service from being installed properly. Improved Bluetooth
support is one of the major features of F8, so we want this to work
right. The maintainer is aware of the problem and working to fix it.
* Bug 354571: MODIFIED - anaconda maintainers
- live install fails when there's a pre-existing install
Fixed in anaconda CVS - the next set of Live images should allow us to
retest and close this.
* Bug 354781: NEW - skvidal
- yum-skip-broken changes yum's dependency solver even when it's not
active
This is a bug with the popular yum-skip-broken plugin that could cause
it to make upgrades from F7 fail. Upgrade failures are bad.
And there you have it. Most of those bugs already have fixes pending,
and none of the rest are hair-on-fire critical bugs, so I think we're in
good shape. If you can help test the stuff I mentioned above, or you
have found some huge problem that we've missed, please let us know.
Thanks for helping make Fedora more awesome!

update stalls/hangs with no errors
by Jason
Installed rawhide-dvd-20071024-i386 with no problems, ran an update
fine, trying to install a couple packages now and it is stalling at
the apparent end of 'downloading packages'. I ended up running 'yum
update' from a terminal to see if I received any errors since none
appeared during the gui attempts. I updated everything from the
terminal 'yum update' and then installed a couple packages from
'add/remove software' to see if that was working, it did work and
asked me to import a gpg key which I did and the install went fine. I
didn't see anything in the list or bugzilla about this so I am
thinking just an aberration? Top didn't show any run away processes,
logs didn't show anything.

To a completed dvd rawhide downloader -
by Development discussions related to Fedora
I was wondering if someone could run iso-info on the downloaded dvd, and
email the results either to myself or in reply to this message, as follows:
iso-info -q -l -i /home/old/8/rawhide-dvd-20071024-i386.iso
>rawhide-dvd-20071024-i386.iso-info.txt
{from libcdio} similar for ppc and _64 if you dl'ed that.
Thanks in advance {this is a re-request of an earlier msg that might
have been missed}.

Fwd: dell Inspiron 6400 sleep quirks not recognized
by Fulko Hew
I submitted this email to the hal(a)lists.freedesktop.org group yesterday,
but I figure I'd send it to the Fedora list too...
-----------------------------
I decided to play with sleep and suspend on my Dell Inspiron 6400...
Most things work, but during recovery from sleep, the screen was
still dark/blank. So following the instructions on the quirk site, I tried:
lshal | grep system.hardware
and I get:
[root@localhost log]# lshal | grep system.hardware
system.hardware.primary_video.product = 10146 (0x27a2) (int)
system.hardware.primary_video.vendor = 32902 (0x8086) (int)
system.hardware.product = 'MM061' (string)
system.hardware.serial = '28W6RB1' (string)
system.hardware.uuid = '44454C4C-3800-1057-8036-B2C04F524231' (string)
system.hardware.vendor = 'Dell Inc.' (string)
So when looking in
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-dell.fdi
I see that the section for
<match key="system.hardware.product" contains="MM061">
is contained within a section:
<match key="system.hardware.product" prefix="Inspiron">
But as you can see my reported system.hardware.product line doesn't
contain "Inspiron', let alone as a prefix!
so I created and tested a section, duplicating the existing quirks
except without the prefix="Inspiron", and the quirks are now
recognized when I do:
lshal | grep quirk
and when I test 'sleep' on the laptop it now works! :-)
(... well iwl3945 doesn't wake up, but everything else works now...)
So... it seems that some Dell Inspiron 6400's may be reported as
'Inspiron MM061' and others are called simply 'MM061'
Given my minimal knowledge of the syntax of the quirks file
and HAL software, I decided to post this message rather
than simply submit a git change.
... Is there a better way to handle this issue given the syntax
of the quirks file without having to resort to two 'replicated'
sections, or should the MM061 quirk simply be moved from
within its prefix='Inspiron' qualifier?
Comments?
TIA

Fedora install method - Hard Drive - how to use lvm ?
by Development discussions related to Fedora
It seems that when installing Fedora, and you have the dvd iso on your
local disk, but in an LVM LV, that the Install Method=Hard Drive doesn't
have the capability to read the iso.
Is there any way around this ?
{Realized that my test machine has only /boot, swap that isn't lvm}, and
I wanted to test the dvd iso install on a machine with only a CD and
another with no optical drive at all. {usually I do through boot iso /
network boot images configured to boot with grub.
