Cursor problem
by Астахов Петр 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hello! I bought motherboard Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 on chipset GeForce 6150 and installed FC5. I can't see cursor in X. When computer loading, and rhgb show the progress of loading, I see cursor and everything OK. When computer is loaded and X started, there is no viewable cursor on the screen. I move mouse, all necessary menus etc are highlighted, but no cursor. I update kernel and xorg - result the same. I installed nvidia drivers for video from livna - but result the same - no cursor. What shall I do? With best regard, Peter (Zebar) Astakhov

Dries Repo Dead?
by Keith G. Robertson-Turner 13 May '07

13 May '07

I haven't seen any updates from either one of the following mirrors since the 2nd of March: rsync://apt.sw.be/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/dries/fedora/linux/$release/$arch/RPMS.$repo/ rsync://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/fc$release/$arch/RP… I know there was supposed to be a coordinated effort to move to rpmforge, but AFAICT this is still incomplete. Anyone know what's happening over there? The Dries repo still has some packages that can't be found elsewhere. -- K. http://slated.org - Slated, Rated & Blogged .---- | "Future archaeologists will be able to identify a 'Vista Upgrade | Layer' when they go through our landfill sites" - Sian Berry, the | Green Party. `---- Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) on sky, running kernel 2.6.20-1.2300.fc5 12:32:28 up 11:46, 2 users, load average: 0.40, 0.45, 0.30

dump/restore (or "star") and SELinux problems
by Kayvan A. Sylvan 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi folks, I am trying again. I haven't gotten an answer that works yet and hoping that people who know more about SELinux and Fedora can see this and suggest a solution (or at least a way to investigate). My goal: To be able to reszie a partition (or rearrange filesystems) without losing any data or meta-data. parted is useless, since it won't handle the xattr filesystem data. I used dump to create a filesystem backup, then used the FC5 Install DVD to go into rescue mode and restore the dump. That seem to work okay for the file data. However, for each and every file, I get the message: restore: lsetxattr ./filename_being_restored failed: Invalid argument Using "ls -Z", I see that all the files end up being unlabeled (or they are in the unlabeled_t context). These files were all set up in Fedora FC4, using the targeted policy. When I am booting up using the FC5 Install DVD ("linux rescue"), the SELinux startup shows: security: 3 users, 6 roles, 1161 types, 135 bools, 1 sens, 256 cats security: 55 classes, 38679 rules SELinux: Completing initialization. SELinux: Setting up existing superblocks. SELinux: initialized (dev loop0, type squashfs), not configured for labeling SELinux: initialized (dev usbfs, type usbfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev ramfs, type ramfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev ramfs, type ramfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev tmpfs, type tmpfs), uses transition SIDs SELinux: initialized (dev debugfs, type debugfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev selinuxfs, type selinuxfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev mqueue, type mqueue), uses transition SIDs SELinux: initialized (dev hugetlbfs, type hugetlbfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev devpts, type devpts), uses transition SIDs SELinux: initialized (dev eventpollfs, type eventpollfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev inotifyfs, type inotifyfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev tmpfs, type tmpfs), uses transition SIDs SELinux: initialized (dev futexfs, type futexfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev pipefs, type pipefs), uses task SIDs SELinux: initialized (dev sockfs, type sockfs), uses task SIDs SELinux: initialized (dev cpuset, type cpuset), not configured for labeling SELinux: initialized (dev proc, type proc), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev bdev, type bdev), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev rootfs, type rootfs), uses genfs_contexts SELinux: initialized (dev sysfs, type sysfs), uses genfs_contexts I have also tried using "star" with the following args: star -v -c -xdev -sparse -acl -link-dirs level=0 -wtardumps \ f=root.star -C / . And then, when booted into the rescue mode, did the following to extract: star -xpU -restore f=root.star This produced the same result. The files end up being unlabeled. I am wondering if I have to have the same SELinux policy loaded while in the rescue mode in order to avoid the "lsetxattr: invalid argument" error? How would I go about doing that?

Evolution language
by Ambrogio 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Hi all, I would like to know how to change the evolution language. I changed PC and i installed a fresh FC6. I installed all the same packages as my old PC, and copied entirely my home dir. So now I have Evolution in english, and before was in italian, but some pictures, some button and some menus are in italian. I'm confused and I don't know how to solve this behaviour. tnx to all Ambrogio

Bluetooth (bluez) under Fedora-6
by Timothy Murphy 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

I am running bluez under Fedora-6 (I have installed all bluez* packages) and want to link to my phone (a Sony-Ericsson T630) using gnokii. Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to set a bluetooth pin on my computer. When I try to connect (with "gnokii --identify") the phone asks for the pin, but whatever I enter on the phone I am told there is a Passkey mismatch. I notice that /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf came without any pin_helper entry. I tried the following three: # PIN helper # pin_helper dbus_pin_helper; # pin_helper /usr/bin/bluez-pin; pin_helper /etc/bluetooth/feed-pin.sh In the last case feed-pin.sh reads #!/bin/sh echo "PIN:0000" and has mode 755. I ran "sudo service bluetooth restart" after each change. I also ran "sudo bluez-pin --dbus &". As far as I can see a window should came up on my laptop asking me to enter a pin, but nothing came up. More recently, I downloaded and installed kdebluetooth and kdebluetooth-devel from the redhat-kde site. Unfortunately I could not find any documentation for this, and no commands I gave seemed to have any useful effect. Incidentally, when I ran "rpm -ql kdebluetooth" I notices a large number of *.desktop files. Am I right in thinking that these are potentially at least entries in the Fedora menu? If so, how does one add them to the menu? Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Re: Webcam with FC6
by Mike Zingale 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Keith, I have, I believe, the same camera. You need to install the SPCA driver for it -- this is not part of the mainline kernel. The following worked for me: wget http://drpixel.tuxfamily.org/fedora/drpixel-release-1-1.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh drpixel-release-1-1.noarch.rpm yum install --enablerepo=drpixel kmod-gspca in aMSN, if you use a NAT/router, you need to open ports 6890-6900 for the camera to work. I believe I also had to do this in the fedora firewall. Mike > I have read that the Logitech Quickcam Chat web cam works 'out of the > box' with Linux. So I have bought one.
