by Mike McGrath 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

I've got an FC4 install with shadow-utils installed but the passwords are being stored in /etc/passwd and there is no /etc/shadow file. Any ideas? ------------------- Michael P. McGrath Senior Systems Engineer

by G Rajesh 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi Paul, I followed your advice, no avail. If I uninstall OO.o2 and install 104 build, it against displays JRE1.5 promptly. When I install OO.o again, only 1.4.2 of RH's gcj version is displayed. I find similar problem being posted at fedoraforum http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=82974&highlight=java But no answer/solution. Can some RH/FC experts help me (us?). Regards, Rajesh

big Problem with FC 4 and SATA (hdparm error)
by Sebastian Kösters 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi, i use a SATA Harddisk (Seagate 120GB) with Fedora Core 4. Everything in the System is up to date (yum). When i do this: hdparm -tT /dev/sda I get the following error: /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 1944 MB in 2.00 seconds = 971.94 MB/sec HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.01 seconds = 56.51 MB/sec HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device Its not very fast and the error message is not so good i think. What can i do to solve the Problem? I also tried FC 4 on different Mainboards with different SATA Harddisk. Same error every time. On FC3 with SATA there are no Problems! Downgrading is not possible. I hope someone can help me?! Thank you very much! regards Sebastian

Problems with automounting removable media
by Rasmus Back 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi. In FC3 plugging in a USB thumbdrive worked automagically, the voulme would just show up on my desktop. I did a clean install of FC4 and now the same thumbdrive doesn't show up at all. I started hald in verbose mode, see attached log file for details. Apparently the thumbdrive is recognized and attached to /dev/sdc, but the final step of mounting it is not performed. I have checked the option in gnome-volume-manager to automatically mount removable media. Are my problems related to the "no runnable /etc/hotplug/*_device.agent is installed" messages? Hotplug owns /etc/hotplug and I can't think of any rpms that could be missing. Googling around there seems to be lots of people with related problems, but those problems are usually caused by the kernel not recognizing the drive at all. I can manually mount the thumbdrive, but then the contents are owned by root and it's a hassle to copy stuff over. I have a LaCie d2 that has the same problems (regardless of if I use USB of firewire). Thanks, Rasmus

Install on USB drive
by Perazim 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

How does one get anaconda to see a usb drive so that one can install FC4 on a usb drive? When booting from the install cd, it does load the usb driver but the usb disk doesn't appear in the available drives during partioning. Thanks, L. Baker -- Perazim <perazim(a)kingsley.co.za>

up2date problem after upgrading from fc2 to fc4
by Perazim 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Upgraded from fc2 to fc4 ok. Later, when running up2date, it generates "unresolved chain of dependancies" when applying fc4 updates. They are: xxx requires libstd++.so5 xxx requires libstd++.so5(CXXABI_1.2) xxx requires libstd++.so5(GLIBLPD_3.2) where xxx is Bestcrypt, Maelstrom, Moni, abiword,apt,chromium, gpdf, grip,tora,tunracer This error is generated whenever any of the c packages are attempted to be updated .... cpp 4.0.0-8 to cpp 4.01-4.fc4 How do I resolve this? Thanks, L. Baker -- Perazim <perazim(a)kingsley.co.za> -- Perazim <perazim(a)kingsley.co.za>

Spurious keyboard repeats with Kernel 2.6.13-1532 and 2.6.14-1633
by Gavin Graham 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

OK. Here we go again.... Is anyone still having problems here with this happening with any kernel newer than 2.6.13-1526? There are two bugzilla jobs for this #171554 & 55223 and people are still having problems even with the 2.6.14 kernel in testing. Gavin

Possible SELinux or audit problem
by David Fernandez 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi there, Since applying the last updates to FC4 from fedora site, it seems that most of the audit messages have disappeared. However, I still get the following when shutting down my system: Nov 2 11:11:23 software auditd[1752]: The audit daemon is exiting.
