apache (httpd) on f8 vs. fc6 running LXR
by Gene Smith
I have a LXR setup on fc6 that works fine. When I move it to f8 (which
seems to have the same versions of httpd, perl, mysql etc) I can only
get it to work if I change the user/group in httpd.conf from
apache:apache to myusername:myusername. The files accessed by httpd,
perl etc are world readable and executable but owned by root, as they
were in fc6. These are in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/....
I have tried changing all the files to owner/group apache:apache but
that does not help. I have disabled selinux and that makes no
difference, but saw no errors before disabling. I have made httpd.conf
user/group nobody:nobody and that does not work. Only when I use my own
UID/GID in httpd.conf does LXR work.
I have set-up LXR several times before with other fedora/rh versions
with no problem this difficult. Why would the apache account not work in
f8 but it did work with the same files in fc6? Or should I just run
apache as myself and be happy. This is only really used from localhost
for the most part, not on the internet.

Latest f8 kernel vs startx, 1-0
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
Two problems:
============
1: The latest yum installed kernel (2.6.23.14-107.fc8) boots to runlevel
3 just fine, but startx fails, something about the GLX module even though I
have a script that builds a fresh nvidia.ko in my rc.local list that did run
successfully.
So I'm back on 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 ATM.
============
2: I have a tail on the log cuz there is a bug in libata that will output a
certain sequence of error msg's quite a few times on my boot drive, eventually
locking up the machine, and which has completed the 'smartctl -t
long /dev/sda' with zero errors twice in the last 24 hours. A third test is
running now.
This was while booted to 2.6.24, and to 2.6.24-rc8, this bug may not exist in the
2.6.23 stuff, one of the reasons I'm testing older boots and found the latest
whizbang fedora kernel won't startx. I'd call that more of a whizthud myself. :)
Has anyone else seen this in their logs:

This particular stanza was the last one reported before the silent lockup,
while running 2.6.24-rc8. 2.6.24 also does this, but will back the speed
down till its running in a pio mode by the time it freezes that machine.
Comments on either problem welcomed.

If no bugzillas are found, please try to file one
against the kernel. If you can you may test a newer
kernel to see if the "soft lockup" does not occur on
it?

Antonio

old rpms after upgrade
by Peter J. Stieber
I have an x86_64 I have upgraded from Fedora 6 -> 7 -> 8. I upgrade
using DVDs generated from ISO images provided with each new
distribution. I'm worried about left over rpms from prior installs that
may eventually cause problems.
$ rpm -qa | grep fc6
enchant-1.3.0-1.fc6
dmidecode-2.7-1.26.1.fc6
keyutils-libs-1.2-2.fc6
mcelog-0.7-1.22.fc6
xorg-x11-filesystem-7.1-2.fc6
libavc1394-0.5.3-1.fc6
keyutils-libs-1.2-2.fc6
keyutils-libs-devel-1.2-2.fc6
gnuchess-5.07-10.fc6
tux-3.2.18-9.fc6
There are others for fc7.
Why does this happen?
What should I do about it?

Ubuntu
by Karl Larsen
I have tried to load this software as another to keep an eye on, but
when I do load it it takes over Grub! I didn't see any way to stop it
from doing this. Has anyone else had success? If so let me know what to do.

Can anyone explain the delay when switching from X to console
by stan
Hi,
This has been bugging me for a while. It used to be (years ago) that
the switch from X to a console would be almost instantaneous. Over the
years, it just seems to keep getting longer and longer. Today it is
taking almost 5 seconds to switch to a console. The switch back is much
faster, maybe a second. Can anyone explain this, and is there an
adjustment to speed it up.
I'm running Fedora 7.
Thanks,
stan

Re : Ubuntu
by Croombe F. Pensom
I had exactly the same problem when I tried it and discovered that
Ubuntu is rather fussy and seems to require that only itself be on the
system otherwise, as you say, grub gets clobbered somehow.

Panic when installing FC8 on LGA775 Intel motherboard
by Ian Brown
Hello,
I am trying to install FC8 on LGA775 Intel motherboard and getting
the good old
"Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!".
I had tried the trick which was used on FC4 with SATA disks, namely to
enter some gibrish
at the boot: prompt and than press "enter", but again I reach the
"Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!".
- The same happens with Fedora Core 6.
- My machine is 32 bit.
Any ideas?
Any pointers will be welcomed.
Regards,
Ian Brown
