Where to get System.ComponentModel?
by Christoph Höger 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I want to compile some simple mono webservice client but I am missing the System.ComponentModel assembly. Where can I get it? Some special mono-*.rpm? Or did I just not look into the correct dir? regards christoph -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHNe8ahMBO4cVSGS8RAjYrAKCIfRDDhH6Bi3X8Dl4KM814In/03gCfXajn MbKIb2e9y8WQ15kKvcXOUoU= =JC+5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Does Anaconda respect existing /etc/yum.conf?
by Sam Varshavchik 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I have "exclude=*.i386 *.i586 *.i686" in yum.conf on my x86_64 machine. I don't need any 32-bit junk. Just so I'd know what to expect: will Anaconda abide by this setting, when I upgrade to F8, or will I have to fumigate my packages, again?

Gripes, gripes: F8 Live, F8 DVD, i6000
by Alexander Volovics 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Installing F8 on a Dell i6000 laptop: 1) Using the DVD: The install comes no further than 'running /sbin/loader' and then stops. Nothing happens anymore. This is a curious regression from F8 test 3 where I had no such problems! Maybe this can be solved using one or other kernel parameter but then you have to go and search the internet for a list or have the kernel documentation at hand. A complete list with comments should be available in a README included on the DVD and a reference included in the Release Notes. 2) Using the Live CD: Here we have a really nasty omission in the Release Notes: The install from the Live CD seems to have changed. You no longer get the second stage 'postinstall configuration'. This is done implicitely and a user is not created a) This is very confusing as you get the impression that the install is not complete b) When you reboot you are confronted with an inlog screen without having a username and password available. (There seems to be a user 'Fedora Live' or something but this is mentioned nowhere). Off course you can create a user and password as root but how is a novice to know this. This is really very confusing and it is a really nasty omission not mentioning this in the Release Notes. Furthermore the CD is still not ejected after the install from CD. Very clumsy. If you choose to load the image in memory the CD is ejected. Good. But here we have another mistake/omission. The README on the CD mentions that you can "select" 'Run from RAM' from the boot menu. a) the boot menu is only visible after pressing 'Enter' at the boot screen. It does not appear spontaneously as it should. b) The boot menu contains no entry "Run from RAM" ! To "Run from RAM" you have to add the kernel parameter 'live_ram'. Again no mention of this anywhere or any instructions on how to do this. I would have thought that one of the purposes of the Live CD is to have an easy evaluation of Linux for new users and an even easier install if they decide to use it. If that is the case then I would look very carefully how Ubuntu accomplishes this and try to emulate their smooth approach. What we have here is not only 'rough' but also very clumsy. Alexander

automagic rpm changes in grub.conf
by Christoph Höger 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, I have a little problem: I once had to change the default menu option in grub.conf manually to pick a specific kernel. Now (having removed that kernel some time ago) whenever I update my kernel, rpm is so smart to not just leave that file untouched but change the default value to where the old kernel is now. How can I force rpm to make the latest kernel default boot? regards christoph -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHNZz9hMBO4cVSGS8RAtHwAJ99Sg1+xjf//oNGllvcVV3hYWHcewCfT1Yv Yjko1IDXEPLgeVXkQAHgx6c= =s/Oc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Drag n drop no longer working in Firefox bookmark organizer
by Mike A. Harris 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

The firefox bookmark organizer in Fedora 8, does not let you drag and drop bookmarks/folders anymore for some reason. I'm not sure if this is a bug in firefox or if it is caused by one of the extensions that I have installed, however if I start firefox up in Fedora 7 with the same config files, bookmarks drag and drop fine in the bookmark organizer. Mind you, I am using a custom rebuild of Firefox in Fedora 7 versus the stock Fedora firefox in F8, although I'd be surprised if that matters. Another person was able to reproduce this on IRC, and so I thought I would post here to see if anyone else can reproduce it. If others can reproduce it, and I can weed out an extension as being the cause, I'll file a bugzilla for it. Nothing conclusive yet however. -- Mike A.

F8 as Router is not working any more!!!
by Antonio M 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I had to re-install F8 as upgrading from DVD failed on dependency check (freezing) My router was working fine in F7, and it was acting as a router with transparent proxy I had backuped all etc configuration files, so I copied back iptables, squid.conf, systcl and rebooted. Some notes: eth0 became eth1 during installation eth1 became eth0 I set back each card as in F7 (eth0 is the card connected to the Internet, eth1 to my internal network eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:05:E5:82:46 inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::5054:5ff:fee5:8246/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:60644 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:47213 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:13 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:84757378 (80.8 MiB) TX bytes:4274281 (4.0 MiB) Interrupt:16 Base address:0xec00 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:D8:BF:9F:05 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:d8ff:febf:9f05/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:363 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:35917 (35.0 KiB) TX bytes:4155 (4.0 KiB) Interrupt:21 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:3579 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3579 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3796220 (3.6 MiB) TX bytes:3796220 (3.6 MiB) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:87.5.133.136 P-t-P:192.168.100.1 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:60469 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:47007 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:83416497 (79.5 MiB) TX bytes:3225204 (3.0 MiB) I can ping eth1 but not eth0 (that I should get as it is acting as a router...)

install with no physical access?
by Tom Horsley 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I've found it very convenient to install fedora on systems which have an existing grub already installed by copying the vmlinuz and initrd.img files to /boot and making an "Install Fedora" grub entry pointing at them (I can then tell the installer to do a hard disk install pointing to the DVD iso image on a local disk). Now I want to go one step farther - do the same thing over a VNC connection when I have absolutely no physical access to the machine I want to install on. I see some stuff in the installation guide about running installer over VNC, but it is talking about typing things in to the console. Is it possible to put enough kernel options in the grub entry to define the network and tell it to speak VNC? (And if so, what the heck happens after it does the first boot? Is it still talking VNC after that?).

pcscd using 100% cpu? (my first f8 bug :-)
by Tom Horsley 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

For some reason this never showed up, sorry if this turns out to be a duplicate: Just submitted this bug after not finding any other mentions of similar problems: 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?

F8: fan stays on after resume
by Patrick Lists 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hi all, Laptop with F8 X86_64. After resuming the fan stays on and does not seem to go back to a variable mode where it stops when not needed. Anything I can do to convince the fan to behave after resume? Thanks, Patrick
