Updating jetty (which I need for eclipse) now pulls in netbeans and tomcat among other things. Isn't this kind of defeating the purpose of jetty, a lightweight java server?

Intel graphics users: send me your VBIOS

by Adam Jackson

If you have a machine with an Intel graphics chip, I need your help. I'm trying to make LVDS connection detection actually reliable, and I think I have a solution that involves parsing BIOS data tables. But I need more testcases to raise my confidence that it's actually a reliable method. So, do this: % sudo dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/rom bs=64k skip=12 count=1 and email me that rom file, along with a brief description of the machine, and in particular what graphics outputs (DVI, VGA, LVDS...) are _actually_ present on the machine. Thanks! - ajax

RE: selinux and 2.6.31-33.fc12.x86_64

by J M

>You need to yum -y update. >SELinux and dracut changed the way the initrd is loaded during boot. SELinux will turn back on when you finish updating to the latest code. I have been checking for updates the last couple days and none have seemed to reslove this. At this time yum -y update is telling me there are no new updates available. I also tried creating a new initramfs with dracut for the heck of it, and that also did not work. I currently have: selinux-policy-3.6.32-7.fc12.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.32-7.fc12.noarch kernel-2.6.31-33.fc12.x86_64 dracut-002-2.gitc53acc30.fc12.noarch Are these the correct versions? Is there anything else I should be looking at? _________________________________________________________________ Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tut...

current live CD builds entirely broken

by Adam Williamson

As reported by Jesse Keating and me, currently live CD builds - since 20090918, 20090917 was the last working one - appear to be entirely broken. Boot fails with 'no root device found', booting from CD or USB. This will be a problem for the beta test compose that's coming up in a couple of days. I'll file a bug if there isn't one already, but wanted to get notice out there quick. Anyone know what broke on 20090918? There was a new dracut and a new kernel that day, dracut looks like the most likely culprit. Changelog was: dracut-002-1.fc12 ----------------- * Thu Sep 17 2009 Harald Hoyer <harald(a)redhat.com> 002-1 - version 002 - set correct PATH - workaround for broken mdmon implementation * Wed Sep 16 2009 Harald Hoyer <harald(a)redhat.com> 001-11 - generate dracut-version during rpm build time * Wed Sep 16 2009 Harald Hoyer <harald(a)redhat.com> 001-12 - removed lvm/mdraid/dmraid lock files - add missing ifname= files * Tue Sep 15 2009 Harald Hoyer <harald(a)redhat.com> 001-10 - add ifname= argument for persistent netdev names - new /initqueue-finished to check if the main loop can be left - copy mdadm.conf if --mdadmconf set or mdadmconf in dracut.conf nightly builds are at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/ , if you wish to confirm the breakage. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

F12 hang on boot

by Peter Glassenbury (CSSE)

I have just done a 'yum update' to get the latest rawhide.. then a reboot.... Had a hang for about 10 minutes. Came back to life as I was typing this :-) Only diagnostic messages listed... ======= Welcome to Fedora Press 'I' .... < Which nobody seems to be able to do :-| ) ... mdadm: no arrarys found in config file or automatically ... iptables: Applying firewall rules: (Interesting..firewall is off) .. Starting rpcbind OK Starting system message bus: <- Hanging . timeout and continue after 10 minutes.. ======= I couldn't get into any alternative login. Ping to hostname gave no answer... but after the timeout I could see the /var/log/messages It appears that It was trying to get to our ldap servers ldap://ldapserver.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz (a FQDN not an IP number) and couldn't find it. After a very long couple of timeouts trying, the dbus-daemon gave up, so did automount and rpc.statd with the same reason (no ldap server) THEN Network manager seems to be next... and it starts the network to allow all the above to work... Is something in the wrong order? Do I have to configure things differently? with IP's instead of FQDN Cheers Pete (experienced with fedora installs, Still trying to work out which fedora feedback place I should be sending mail/problems) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Glassenbury Computer Science department pete(a)cosc.canterbury.ac.nz University of Canterbury +64 3 3642987 ext 7762 New Zealand

2009-09-21 - 16:00 UTC - Fedora QA meeting Recap

by Adam Williamson

The meeting information page is up at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20090921 thanks to all for coming. Brief summary ------------- We noted that the zlib changes needed for zsync are kind of stalled after a discussion on -devel-list. Upcoming events: we're coming up on F12 Beta soon, now. Third blocker bug review is this Friday. Beta Test Compose is due Wednesday. We have several beta blocker bugs currently in MODIFIED state that need testing, so please look at those: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=507678&hide_resolved=1 We had a long discussion about major changes in Rawhide, particularly ones that impact Anaconda, and proposed some ways to try and improve this in future. Jesse raised a couple of significant issues wrt the beta: current live images don't work (see thread I've posted since), and he has no input on x86-64 (this may be https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522675 , he's testing). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Automated Bug-Reporting Tool

by Richard Ryniker

I have two complaints about the implementation of what looks to be a good idea: /var/log/messages is littered with messages (every two minutes, using the default configuration) that, in effect, say "Nothing interesting to say." Sep 15 23:07:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:09:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:11:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:13:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:15:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:17:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:19:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:21:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:23:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... Sep 15 23:25:40 vista abrtd: Scanning syslog... This may be caused by some test code that should have been removed before the abrt package was built. If it is intentional, the /etc/abrt/abrt.conf file ought to have some statement that suppresses "nothing to say" messages until the user changes it to request them. While the full name of the tool is descriptive, I think the abbreviated name of the daemon makes it appear some program aborted during examination of the system log file. Instead of "abrtd" a name such as "bugreportd" would be less alarming, and still better name choices may be easy to find. Names are personal things, and I have learned now what "abrtd" means in this context. What matters is whether a name change will make any significant reduction in the number of other users who mistake "abrtd" for "aborted". After my experience, I cannot be naive about this (Alas! No longer a virgin.) and ask others to consider the worth of a different name for this daemon.

policy management question

by Michal Jaegermann

Recent rawhide updates obsoleted PolicyKit and replaced it with polkit packages. This change killed 'polkit-action'. One can reply that it was replaced by 'pkaction' but not quite. 'polkit-action' has options like --reset-defaults --show-overrides --set-defaults-any --set-defaults-inactive --set-defaults-active which allowed at least some policies management and changes were stored in /var/lib/PolicyKit-public/. 'pkaction' allows you only list actions and nothing else seem to be doing any management tasks. All .conf files carry a comment: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, it will be overwritten on update. Is one supposed to figure out how to write overrides by hand? Michal
