does anyone know

the state of the RadeonHD driver, especially RH's work on it? Is there a timeline to fold it into Fedora?

Fedora 8 Installation Issue
by Srikanth Konjarla 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

I am trying to install Fedora 8 (i386) onto a machine which is already running Fedora 7. The loader crashes after loading initial drivers and past the "Disk check". I guess it could be due to a driver that is loaded but not sure. Is there a way to prevent a particular driver from loading such as pata_amd at the time of installation? Thanks Srikanth

pcscd using all of cpu?
by Tom Horsley 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Just submitted this bug last night after my fresh install of F8 - didn't see any existing reports on pcscd: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374291 Anyone else care to run "top" on their freshly installed fedora 8 and see if pcscd is using 100% of the cpu? Just curious if I'm the only one (also curious why the other copies of this mail never made it to the archives, so I'm trying to send this a different way and perhaps it will get through).

creating custom initrd
by Gijs 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Is it possible to define which modules mkinitrd should add to the initrd? I have a custom initrd, but after every kernel upgrade, it recreates the initrd. When it does this, I loose the extra module I need, so I end up recreating the initrd myself again. I know in Ubuntu and Debian there is a file somewhere in /etc/sysconfig that defines the modules to use when building the initrd. But I have yet to find this file in Fedora.

Mouse and keybord stops working with F8
by Marco Maccaferri 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hi All. I've just installed Fedora 8 and I see a very annoying problem: the keyboard and mouse stops working after few minutes from boot. The system is still running (can login from network, get notifications from applications, etc.) just the keboard and mouse are dead. The PC is an Athlon64 3500+ on an ASUS A8VE-Deluxe motherboard. Keyboard and mouse are PS/2 devices, they were working perfectly since FC4. I'm using the same xorg.conf I was using with F7, but it happened also with the default configuration created by the setup so I don't think it is a configuration problem. The logs doesn't say anything about this problem, or at least I don't see anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I've connected an USB wireless keyboard+mouse and seems to be working well now. Seems that F7 doesn't like PS/2 devices. Any hint of what may be wrong or where to look for a solution ? Regards, Marco

What are the neat new RPMS to install in F8?
by Paul Johnson 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I did a yum upgrade from F7 to F8. No difficulties at all, to my surprise. But, what am I missing in the F8 experience? What are the good new RPMS in F8 that might have been installed if I did a fresh install? Example. In an upgrade from F6 to F7, I did not get ccache installed. Only later did I learn about it and experience its truly wonderful power to accelerate tedious compiling projects. Are there neat packages hidden in the F8 distro that an upgrade would have missed? pj -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas

OT: mx3.redhat.com is borked
by Sam Varshavchik 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hope that somebody around here can look at this. mx3.redhat.com is broken. <fedora-list(a)redhat.com>: mx3.redhat.com [66.187.233.32]: >>> DATA <<< 451 4.3.0 Problem running virus-scanner It's rejecting all mail now. mx3.redhat.com is the primary MX for @redhat.com. Not all mail servers will retry other MXs, if DATA gets deferred at the primary; this is considered spammish behavior in some circles. Some mail servers do retry the backup MXs, which is why there's some trickle of list traffic now, but I suspect that ~90% of list messages are currently bottled up at the senders' mail relays. And I was wondering why my list messages sent earlier today haven't shown up. Now I know (after taking corrective measures…)

1.Passing text to program and 2.automatic login
by Vladimir Kovacevic 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

1. Is there a console command or construction that can solve my problem: I need to start program from console that asks couple times for text input. Can I somehow give all the inputs in one command, so the execution of program doesn't stop to ask for input? 2. Without the graphical environment (only from bash) how can I set linux to login some user at startup without asking for user name and pass? Thx in advance ___________________________________ MadNet Webmail, http://webmail.madnet.co.yu

F8 and ATI M6 with radeon problem
by William Murray 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hello there, I installed F8 on a fairly old laptop, Dell C600, with and ATI mobility M6 card. This takes the radeon driver. Installing was worrying. The auto-configured graphics didn't fit right, and was fuzzy. Well, now it is installed and I changed number of colours down to 16bits 'ordinary' graphics is fine, DRI and AIGLX are enabled and I can run glxgears at 680fps, all I ever got. (Actual I cannot switch on graphic effects - the right hand quarter of the screen is missed off if I do. That was also true in F7. Never mind.) But...ppracer or any other 3D graphics is horrible. The screen is shifted 1cm left, and seems interlaced. Can anyone suggest what might be at fault please?

kmods for 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 in the livna repo
by Thorsten Leemhuis 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hi all! Just FYI: livna kmods for the recently released 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 are uploading to the livna repos right now (sorry, I was afk earlier today and made a error, that's why they are a bit late) and should be available in some minutes. Note that F8 users with kmods *might run* into problems when updating to the latest version kmods due to a problem in yum in F8 which is likely unfixed yet. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330711 for details. The problem might look like this: $ sudo yum update Loading "refresh-updatesd" plugin Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.23-1.49.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package kernel-headers.x86_64 0:2.6.23-6.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package kmod-ntfs.x86_64 0:2.1.28-13.lvn8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: kmod-ntfs-2.6.23-6.fc8 for package: kmod-ntfs --> Processing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.23-1.42.fc8 for package: kmod-ntfs-2.6.23-1.42.fc8 --> Running transaction check ---> Package kmod-ntfs-2.6.23-6.fc8.x86_64 0:2.1.28-13.lvn8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.23-1.42.fc8 for package: kmod-ntfs-2.6.23-1.42.fc8 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-x86_64 = 2.6.23-1.42.fc8 is needed by package kmod-ntfs-2.6.23-1.42.fc8 If you run into this problem you can uninstall the kernel-modules for the current kernel with this command : rpm -e $(rpm -qa 'kmod-*2.6.23*') as workaround and then run yum update; you should get the new kernel and the new kmods for it when running "yum update" afterwards.
