[FC5] Random lockups and cpuspeed
by M. Lewis 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I've been doing some reading in the archives about this and have some questions regarding 'cpuspeed'. 1 - Is cpuspeed normally run on desktops as well as laptops? 2- One place tells me throttling isn't supported, another says it is (see below) Which do I believe? Thanks, Mike [root@moe ~]# cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling <not supported> [root@moe ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2200000 1000000 With cpuspeed running: [root@moe ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 47 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1000.000 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni lahf_lm ts fid vid ttp tm stc bogomips : 2014.70 With cpuspeed *not* running: [root@moe ~]# service cpuspeed stop Stopping cpuspeed: [ OK ] [root@moe ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 47 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 2200.000 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni lahf_lm ts fid vid ttp tm stc bogomips : 4432.35 -- Foolproof operation: All parameters are hard coded. 23:35:01 up 23:28, 1 user, load average: 0.11, 0.25, 0.52 Linux Registered User #241685 http://counter.li.org

Configuring GRUB to boot FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
by philbrog 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hello, I am currently running FC 1 and want to install FC 5. I successfully downloaded the FC 5 DVD install image FC-5-i386-DVD.iso, and sha1sum successfully matches. Here's my fstab (the FC-5-i386-DVD.iso file resides on the /dev/hdd volume): LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hdd /hdd ext3 defaults 1 1 Here's my grub.conf: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb1 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2115.nptl) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img How do I tell GRUB to boot from the file /hdd/phil/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso (where /hdd is the mount point of /dev/hdd)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! - Phil

WORKAROUND: nfs-utils/librpcsecgss.so.1/libgssapi.so.1 dependency issue
by Paul Howarth 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

The problem that has spawned numerous threads today, namely: --> Processing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 for package: nfs-utils --> Processing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 for package: nfs-utils --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils Error: Missing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils is due to a release candidate version of nfs-utils having previously been released into the updates-released repository without having followed the Fedora Package Naming Guidelines: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines?highlight=%28P… This "release candidate" version is now installed on many people's machines and is seen by rpm and yum as "newer" than the recently-released version that should be replacing it. So rpm and yum do not want to replace the release candidate version with the new version that is linked against new versions of librpcsecgss and libgssapi. Hence the problems. What's hard to believe is that this problem is well-known and has been affecting people using the updates-testing and development repos, yet still the new release was made, which has precipitated these dependency issues. Anyway, on to the workaround. I have rebuilt the latest nfs-utils update but have used a version number that will be seen by rpm and yum as "newer" than the release candidate. Hence, updates will work as intended. I only have an i386 build machine, so if anyone can rebuild the package for other architectures, it would be useful. Here's how to install: # rpm --import http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/depfixes/CITY-FAN.ORG-GPG-KEY # wget http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/depfixes/nfs-utils-1.0.8.z.RELEASE-1.FC… # yum localinstall nfs-utils-1.0.8.z.RELEASE-1.FC5.i386.rpm # rm nfs-utils-1.0.8.z.RELEASE-1.FC5.i386.rpm Before doing this, consider for yourself whether you trust me (someone you may only know from this mailing list) to supply packages that are installed on your system. If you don't trust me, don't do it. Related bugzilla entries: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196321 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196359 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197219 The long term fix will happen when upstream release version 1.0.9 of nfs-utils.

Core 5 multi display support
by Hadders 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

Hi all, I'm thinking it would be nice to program with multi monitors. In particular, one running VMWare and Windows so I can test the web app programs I develop. Currently I use two boxes to achieve this. But the constant twisting and turning isn't probably the best, yes age catches up with us all. However, I prefer Linux as a programming environment (especially seeing that I do SQL development too (love that middle click copy/paste)), but was wondering if it (Core 5) easily supports multi display and the nvidia nView stuff, or is that a Windows only thing? Perhaps someone can make a recommendation on cards etc? Any help or comments would be appreciated... Was thinking of getting this card, http://tw.giga-byte.com/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2235 a solid performer, but not excessive... This was the blurb on the nvidia site about nView http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_nview.html Cheers. H
