What is filesystem panic?
by Per Anton Rønning 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

I guess I should rephrase my question about my 4GB memory stick/pen, where the filesystem now is set to readonly when I enter it into one of the slots. Could anyone tell me what might have happened by taking a look at the snip of the logfile? I am not allowed to do anyting but reading files. I am not allowed to delete files ,remove directires or write to files, even if I change to root privileges. I cannot say when this started - it just happened one time when I tried to backup some files to the Jet Flash. Then I got the message (one example): cp: cannot create regular file `/media/disk/trade/statQ': Read-only file system Does anyone have a clue? I'd be grateful for pointers in the right direction. *** snip *** Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: Product: Mass Storage Device Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: Manufacturer: JetFlash Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: SerialNumber: TCC95547 Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access JetFlash TS4GJF185 8.07 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 : : Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sdb: sdb1 Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Oct 27 11:36:19 localhost hald: mounted /dev/sdb1 on behalf of uid 500 Oct 27 11:36:19 localhost gnome-keyring-daemon[2713]: adding removable location: volume_uuid_7A22_FF86 at /media/disk Oct 27 11:36:30 localhost kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sdb1) [!!!!!!!! - my remark] Oct 27 11:36:30 localhost kernel: fat_free_clusters: deleting FAT entry beyond EOF [My remark: What does this mean?

fedora installation
by Jerry Ro 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

hello all, I am interested in installing fedora on a laptop x61t (it is, to the best of my understanding, a 64bit machine.) a few questions I have: * should 60-80 GB be reasonable for full installation of fedora? * i would like to upgrade to fedora 10 when it is available. should i install the beta release which would make it easier to upgrade, or should i stick to fedora 9 since it is more stable and still easy to upgrade? * should i be worried about performance with fedora 10/9 on a laptop with 1.6Ghz processor and 4GB ram? * last, i tried running the Live CD for x86_64 of fedora 9. i had a weird experience - fedora loaded, but no text appeared. instead it was all black empty spots ("null" font). should i be worried about that when coming to install fedora in fully? * i read somewhere that someone installed fedora 64bit on a laptop x61t like mine, and complained that everything was incredibly slow. once he re-installed the 32bit version, it became much better. i would like to use a 64bit version still... should i be worried about having the same behavior? hope it is not too many quetsions. thanks.

02 Nov '08

I have a web server with a DVD drive, and a server with only a CD ROM drive. How can I install fedora on the server over the network using HTTP? I've searched around but haven't found a method that matches my particular situation. Any ideas? Thanks.

Problem viewing network streams with vlc.
by Erik P. Olsen 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

It's vlc 0.8.6i on Fedora 8 fully updated as of today and the problem is not viewing, it's in the audio. After approx. one minute of sound it suddenly goes mute and after maybe half a minute it will produce sound again and so it continues ad infinitum. The console list from such vlc looks like: [erik@epohost ~]$ vlc VLC media player 0.8.6i Janus [00000331] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x1] audio (85 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x2] audio (69 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x3] audio (38 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x4] video (859 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x5] video (419 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x6] video (224 kb/s) [00000331] access_mms access: connection successful [00000376] pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused [00000376] pulse audio output error: Pulse initialization failed [00000376] alsa audio output error: write failed (Broken pipe) [00000319] main playlist: stopping playback It is very consistent it happens every time I view a network stream. Is this something I can correct or should I raise an issue with bugzilla? -- Erik.

Fedor 9 X Window System error:
by Jeff Maxwell 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Has anyone encountered: The program 'recorder' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'. (Details: serial 214 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) I have had this happen on a couple of other applications. I am also curious if this is preventing my Gnome applications from running? They seem to just flash and disappear.

Fedora 9 32 or 64 Bit - Which One?
by Charlie McVeigh 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

I apologize if this question has been asked before. I have a new Thinkpad T61 in scheduled to arrive sometime next week. I want to install Fedora 9 on it. Being as it has a Core 2 Duo processor, I assume I can install the 64 bit version of Fedora 9. My question is what are the pros and cons that I need to consider when choosing 32 or 64 bit version of Fedora 9? I am currently using a Thinkpad T42 running Fedora Core 7, so I have no experience with 64 bit linux or associated issues. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Charlie

FEDORA net etiquette
by Joachim Backes 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Until tomorrow, I always sent signed emails to the FEDORA mailing list, where the signature was issued by the PKI of my computer center (german university). But some fedora list people told me that even very small emails always have a size of at least 8 kilobyte. Therefore i switched to unsigned emails. My question: are there rules for the fedora email traffic saying: do not use signatures? -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de>

16GB USB Drive Not Accessible
by Christopher A Williams 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

I recently bought a snazzy new 16GB USB pen drive from the local store - it was only $29! I have several drives that are 8GB and smaller from the same store that are the same brand. Imagine my surprise when: * The 16GB drive is not accessible on either F9 or F10 Snap 3 * The 8GB drives all work just fine on both F9 and F10 Snap 3 * The 16GB drive works fine on Windows XP * The 16GB drive also works on a Windows XP VM running on top of F9!!! I can only conclude from this that something is a miss that causes F9 to not be able to access and use USB pen drives that are bigger than 8GB, and that this most likely has something to do with a file system driver or such. Anyone else seen this yet? Is there a fix / work-around? Here's the dmesg output for those who might be interested: ============================================== usb 1-2.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13 usb 1-2.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi1264 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 13 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb 1-2.3: New USB device found, idVendor=090c, idProduct=1000 usb 1-2.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-2.3: Product: USB Flash Drive usb 1-2.3: Manufacturer: USB 2.0 usb 1-2.3: SerialNumber: AA20000000000306 usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 1264:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB 2.0 USB Flash Drive 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] 31326208 512-byte hardware sectors (16039 MB) sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] 31326208 512-byte hardware sectors (16039 MB) sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 sd 1264:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 1264:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 ata5.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen ata5.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 res 40/00:03:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata5.00: status: { DRDY } ata5: soft resetting link ata5: nv_mode_filter: 0x1&0x1f01f->0x1, BIOS=0x1f000 (0xc5000000) ACPI=0x1f01f (30:600:0x13) ata5.00: configured for PIO0 ata5: EH complete ============================================== Cheers, Chris -- ====================== "Never murder a man when he's busy committing suicide." -- Woodrow Wilson
