Kernel panic after FC2->FC5
by Jack Howarth 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Today we tried updating an i386 Fedora Core 2 workstation to Fedora Core 5. The upgrade install completed without complaint until we rebooted the machine. At that point I got a kernel panic with the message... Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init. ...after the line stating that the kernel is being uncompressed and booted. What is the best approach to debugging this and is there specific set of causes for this problem? Jack

skipping xmms package updates?
by Ferindo Middleton 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

I've uninstalled xmms from my system and went to www.xmms.org to reinstall the package using the rpm provided at the site so I can play mp3 files. How do I stop this package from being updated and overwritten during nightly yum updates so that I don't end up automatically going back to a fedora channel distribution that can't play mp3 files?

Fedora People Blog
by Kevac Marko 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Hi. Is there any way to separate posts about Fedora and other posts? It is really annoying when i read about anime, for example, in Fedora blog (sorry Pete, but it is really boring for me). Maybe it will be better to collect posts only with tag "fedora", for example. -- Sincerely yours, Kevac Marko

Fedora(rawhide) and XFCE 4.4 beta 2
by Paul Michael Reilly 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

I bit the bullet and installed Xfce 4.4 beta 2 (xfce4-4.3.90.2-installer.bin) on my rawhide system. I installed it to /usr/local thinking that putting /usr/local/bin on my PATH variable before /usr/bin would cause the beta2 executables to run before any yum installed (fedora-extras-development.repo) Xfce 4.2 executables (/usr/bin) so my first question is: was/is this wishful thinking (that I could have both 4.4 beta 2 and 4.2 installed to the same system and not encounter serious issues)? I am running a dual head configuration (individual displays rather than xinerama). There are two issues that pop up immediately that I need to solve: 1) there is a bar across the top of both displays that appears to be an orphaned panel, i.e. I cannot get rid of it (the original panel that was at the top has been moved to the bottom of screen 0 and works just fine there. 2) I cannot seem to use the settings->panel manager dialog to accomplish much with the second display. When I click on the box representing the second display the dialog disappears along with all the applications running in the fist display. I will need to repeat this a few more times before I can accurately describe what is really going on, so this description represents my first take. I will be googling for more information on these issues so any quick leads to helpful information will be much appreciated. Thanks, -pmr

Need an fstab entry, can't see DVD or floppy
by dcooke＠efn.org 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

This is old Red Hat for most but I am a Fedora Plebe seeking answers for way to mount the floppy and DVD ROM drives. Entry from fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 Is all I have. From looking at the processes in /var/log/messages I think the floppy might be fd0 and the DVD is hda. Shall I create folders after the entries I need to make abobe and if so, what shall I put therein, if anything. Thanks

eclipse tomcat plugin as non-root user
by sbeam 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Trying to start/stop tomcat from within eclipse under my normal user account, getting a java.security.AccessControlException in the console. Tomcat5.5 was installed from jpackage.org I've added my user acct to the 'tomcat' group and can read /usr/share/tomcat55/conf/ files. And tomcat is binding to port 8080 and I can run tomcat using /usr/bin/tomcat55 from the shell Has anyone had this working? I'd like to avoid running Eclipse as root - thanks sam
