Re: Problem with PDF's in Firefox
by R. G. Newbury
Whenever I click on a link which points to a PDF, Firefox hangs and must
be terminated. I have installed the Adobe plugin...In fact I have
nppdf.so in both /usr/lib/firefox and /usr/lib/mozilla.
Firefox sometimes hangs when I even try to right-click and 'save-as' the
pdf.
Anyone know why this is happening? Using Firefox 1.5.0.11 (since the
upgrade does not want to install either).

PCI Latency question(s)
by Brian Walter
Greetings,
I'm trying to debug an issue with my 2 hauppauge cards. I have 1
PVR-150 and 1 PVR-500.
When all inputs on both cards (a total of 3) are recording, I get DMA
errors from IVTV driver.
After some hunting around, I found from the IVTV list that latency
issues with the drive controller can lead to this. I've been playing
around with setting the latency, but, with no luck so far.
Here's what I got:
lspci -v

Is this just a function of the controller/MB? Or am I missing something
obvious?

yum update [Error -1] Header is not complete
by Patrick Doyle
For the last few days or so, when I've attempted to perform a "yum
update", the process has consistently failed. The most common error
is "[Error -1] Header is not complete", which is what I get after I
download all 100% of an RPM from an HTTP site. When yum retries from
another mirror and the mirror happens to be an FTP site, I get other
errors (such as 500 RE*T not understood" or "500 Unknown command").
Poking around, I've seen an explanation for the "Header is not
complete" error that indicated that there is a problem with a proxy
server between me an the outside world. While I won't rule that out,
I can say that I can use wget to fetch the rpm manually -- from a
cursory look, the RPM seems fine to me.
Any suggestions?
Yes, I've tried
$ sudo yum clean metadata
and
$ sudo yum clean all
Strangely, however
$ sudo yum clean cache
Returns an error:
Error: invalid clean argument: 'cache'
despite the fact that the man page claims "yum clean cache" should
work (and has worked in the past with older versions of yum).
If I were to fetch an RPM manually, could I verify that it is correct
somehow and then place it someplace at which yum would be happy with
it?

Can't upgrade to FC6 from FC4
by Jim Lowman
The install is dying when I try to upgrade from FC4 to
FC6 on my AMD64 3400+ machine. It freezes just after
identifying the video card, which is a nVidia GeForce
6600.
Everything was running fine with FC4. I thought the
Audigy Sound Blaster card might be the problem and
pulled it, but no joy. I have tried to install both
the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of FC6 with the same
result.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...Jim

hde errors (dvd)
by Przemyslaw Gawronski
Hi, i get these errors all the time (snip from LogWatch):
hde: status error: status=0x58 { D ...: 215798 Time(s)
It's a pretty new dvd drive. I used it on FC5 with not a single
complain. Now on FC6 I have these errors. When I try to mount it (with
some pics for example) it doesn't work with each try, but after 2/3
try's it'll mount. Besides K3B also doesn't always find it, then I have
to reboot :(
Any suggestions?

freetype2
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
What is freetype2? I'm fighting with this on google and mostly find
freetype-2
I found some freetype2 rpm from Suse but when I tried to install there
was a conflict with /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6.3.10 coming from
package freetype-2.2.1-16.fc6.x86_64
I need these package (freetype2 and freetype2-devel) to rebuild
xdvipdfmx and install xetex on my system....
Is there a typo in xdvipdfmx-0.3.spec or freetype2* is really different
from freetype-2*
Thank you.

FC6 x86_64 anaconda hangs on Dell XPS/Dimension 600 with nVidia RAID ("nodmraid" workaround)
by Stuart Levy
I've been trying to upgrade to FC6 x86_64 on a Dell XPS/Dimension 600.
Both in install mode ("linux text") and in rescue mode ("linux rescue"),
the symptom was that it'd boot the kernel normally, successfully probe
for modules (usb_storage, ohci1394, sata_nv), successfully detect the
graphics card, and then hang, with no error message.
Though the main screen was unresponsive, the Alt-F2 shell
remained functional; it showed that anaconda was using
a full CPU. Running strace (from the copy of FC4 already
installed on the system) showed an endless loop of
SIGSEGV / rt_sigaction / SIGSEGV etc.
After some digging through the anaconda code and running
it in command-line debug mode (anaconda -d -C ...) from the
Alt-F2 shell, it appears that the problem happens while trying to
scan the system for RAID arrays, under
/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py(444)createDriveList()
dmsets = block.getRaidSets(drives)
I can step in pdb from within getRaidSets() to as far as:
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/block/__init__.py(138)getRaidSets()
for rs in apply(c.get_raidsets, disks, {})
and then it gets into the SEGV loop, I suppose in the get_raidsets() method.
Workaround: add the "nodmraid" option to the boot command line, e.g.
"linux rescue nodmraid" or "linux text nodmraid"
The system in question does have a hardware RAID known to the
BIOS on the nVidia DXG051 motherboard, but it doesn't have a
software RAID config -- /proc/mdstat doesn't show anything.
The existing OS is just installed on ordinary DOS-labelled
partitions, not using md/lvm/anything special.
There are three physical disks attached, and each is separately
visible to the Linux kernel (sda, sdb, sdc), according to
/proc/partitions.
dmraid -s -g *does* report two RAIDs -- I think one for each of
sda and sdb. (How does it know?) I believe I configured the
BIOS such that each of those two drives is a single-drive
trivial RAID.
Hope this is useful. If I should provide more information,
please let me know.
