How to setup Puplet ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
I have puplet running in my notification area. (Hidden when no updates
available). But it only seems to check for updates at bootup.
yum-updatesd is running.
yum-updatesd.conf is set for:
run intervals = 3600
emit_via = dbus.
gconfig-edit shows last check time as the time of the last boot.
Is something set wrong (I double checked 'man') or am I looking in the
wrong place?
I just yumed and found 10 updates I was unaware of -- but then puplet
has never notified me when logged in as user except at bootup.

Fedora7 Boot Problem.
by clemens＠dwf.com
This is just a heads up for whoever maintains the boot code in Fedora.
On Friday I installed Fedora7 to a new partition on my machine.
When it asked if I wanted to install GRUB I said NO.
This is my usual response, its easier to add the one new boot param to
grub.conf, than having to copy all the old ones there.
In any case, the machine WOULD NOT BOOT.
About three lines printed, including the "kernel" info, but NOT the
"initrd" info.
Today I reinstalled, said YES, and everything is OK.
I have to assume that SOMETHING is not getting done in the install
sequence when you say NO. It will take someone familiar with the code
to check this out,- but the rest of you, be warned.

do something wrong there. ]]

ionice and sshfs
by Konstantin Svist
Hi all,
Does ionice work on sshfs filesystems?
I'd like to make remote host behave as if disk accesses were local and
ionice'd - is this possible?
Thanks

It is most likely due to a mismatch of memory sticks. Most motherboards
seem to have particular requirements about filling the memory slots with
memory. And you must have a 'balanced' setup with matched amounts in
the lower numbered slots.
DDR2 is even worse. I don't think you can do DDR2 with an odd number of
memory sticks. Which leads to the question of how did you get 7Gig of
RAM. I didn't think that 4Gig ram modules were available yet, which
imply you have 3 times 2G plus 1G in modules. And the MB does not like
the fact that you have 2G in slot 3 and 1G in slot 4.
Try with 6G (3x2) and 5 (2x2+1)...5G *may* work since there would be
nothing in slot 4 to cause a problem.

I was using fglrx. Switching to vesa and the emacs hangs still happen.
The switch workspace I did not see, but it is rare anyway.
I do notice that my (1Gb) machine is using 300Mb of swap. Normally it
doesn't do that. Might be connected? I don't SEE any big usage with ps,
or vmstat.

About mock and cross compiling 64 - 32 bit
by Fernando Apesteguía
Hi all,
I have a .src.rpm package I made from a .tgz. It builds perfectly in
my FC6 64 bits. Now I want to generate the 32 bit package. I tried
with the simple:
setarch i386 rpmbuild ... ... .... package.src.rpm but it didn't work.
It still generates a 64 bit binary package. So as I read previously in
the list, I moved to mock.
Mock was installed and configured properly. The point is that when I try:
setarch i386 mock --debug package.src.rpm
I got from the configure script the following:
-----------------------------------------
checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: The pkg-config script could
not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.
-----------------------------------------
It seems to me that this is a problem with the chroot configuration. I
would like to know where to find more information about how to solve
this. I can't find information, just the small wiki page in
fedoraproject.org. Man page doesn't give me more information.
Any mock-experienced user around here?
Thanks in advance.
PS: The .tar.gz in which is based the .src.rpm compiles perfectly on
both 32 and 64 bit platforms.

changing yum timeout and retries...
by Mike Chalmers
Anyone know how to change the timeout and retries for yum. For
instance supposedly, changing /etc/yum.conf should have worked. But
when I opened /yum.conf all I didn't get the option to change the
settings that needed to be changed in the yum.conf file because all I
got was this:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought that there would be a timeout and retries option. Anyone
know how to change the yum timeout and retries settings?
Thanks,
Mike

Re-doing F7
by Karl Larsen
Moving from one to another computer may require a complete reload of
F7. Not a problem and I have already done it once just to prove a point.
The DVD of F7 loads on the other computer just fine. It has the nVIDIA
pointer problem but now we know how to fix.
I just looked and all there appears to be is the basic i386 and
i686-64 DVD's on the Red Hat web page. Is there someplace I could d/l
all the updates to F7 on a cd-rom iso? The re-spin of F7 will appear
some day. Has the idea of a cd with all the updates been thought of?
I can look at /var/log/yum.log and there all my updates and d/l are
listed. I will get that as a file and print it for the near future. I
sure don't need all the kernel's just the latest one. But I want all the
udev's :-)
