Headset and speakers problem
by Fernando Apesteguía
Hi all,
I'm using F9 x86_64.
I have noticed a weird thing, I can't solve:
If I plug my headset, the speakers don't mute. I've tried to dig into
volume control and PulseAudio, but I can't make them work properly.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance

Firefox3 > Send Link > won't use Thunderbird
by Jim
Fc8, Firefox 3
When using File > Send Link in Firefox 2 it would open Thunderbird to
send link, but in Firefox3 the feature doesn't work.
In /,mozilla/firefox/default/user.js file, to select thunderbird, but it
won't work in Firefox 3.
Below is contents of user.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto","/usr/bin/thunderbird");
user_pref("browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs", true);
What's different in FF3 ??

Changing initrd contents and grub
by Richard Michael
Hello list,
I've changed my RAID and LVM configuration and need to modify the
respective commands in the /init of my initrd.
I made those changes by decompressing and extracting the cpio archive,
editting the init script (add a couple lines for mdadm, changed the
activated volume group name), rebuilt a cpio archive (using the correct
"-c"/"-H newc" SVR4 format) and fed it back through gzip (max
compression), then I just moved aside the old initrd, replacing it with
my new one:
mkdir /boot/tmp
cd !$
gzip -dc ../initrd-<version> | cpio -id
vi init
find . -depth -print | cpio -oc | gzip -9 > ../initrd-<version>.new
cd ..
mv initrd-<version> initrd-<version>.orig
mv initrd-<version>.new initrd-<version>
The kernel now panics (paraphrase) "can't find /init".
It does not do this if I restore the original initrd.
I have not changed the name of the initrd, filenames match grub.conf and
grub's boot menu, etc. I have done this type of modification
successfully in the past, but only changing a single character in /init.
So, it appears the kernel is not using my use initrd. Perhaps it is not
prepared correctly (file magic for both new and old initrd files
suggests they are the same, however)? Is grub involved somehow?
Perhaps it can't find my new initrd?
/boot is on a raid1 partition, ext2fs. Grub knows about this, and the
system used to boot without problem.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Richard

yum / not yum
by tony.chamberlain＠lemko.com
I am making (actually made) an install package to install a PPTP VPN.
It does the following:
1: rpm -Uvh dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm libglade-0.17-14.i386.rpm libxml-1.8.17-6.i386.rpm
2: rpm -Uvh http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/fc6/pptp-release-current.noa...
3: yum --enablerepo=pptp-stable install pptpconfig
The RPMs in number 1 are in my package, and I suppose I can locate 2 (pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm) and get a local
copy.
But if I want to make it so Internet is not needed to install this I have to find a way to do #3 locally (get files and
place in my installation package rather than use yum). I also have to find pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm.
Any ideas on 2 and 3 so I can make a package not requiring internet (nor yum)?

F9 install onto LVM on RAID1 on RAID5
by Richard Michael
Hello list,
I am trying to install a new F9 system onto a RAID/LVM setup.
As anaconda doesn't let me create the RAID/LVM configuration I require,
I created these devices using mdadm and lvm in the shell during
installation. I then created the filesystems and swap space, with
labels, in the LVM volume group and I can mount them, read, write, etc..
So all is well with the underlying setup.
However, returning to the install's "custom layout" partitioning page,
anaconda displays the volume group and the names and sizes of the
members are correct, but in the "TYPE" colume it indicates "foreign" and
the mount point, and other fields are empty.
If I click "LVM" or highlight one of the members and click "Edit" (to
set the mount points and formatting options), anaconda responds with:
--------------
Not enough physical volumes
(...)
Create a partition or RAID array of type "physical volume (LVM)"
and click "LVM" again.
--------------
Consequently, I cannot edit the member details to set mount points and
formatting options and continue with the installation.
How does anaconda determine the "type" of a RAID array; do md devices
have types (as partitions do)? How can I satisfy it there are indeed
physical volumes for an LVM (and that I have already configured them)?
Alternately, how can I definitely tell anaconda to simply skip all
partitioning and let me tell it which /dev entries to use for whichever
partitions?
Details
=======
There are four disks in the system, I will add three more. The
intention is the have a mirror three disks, for six total, plus one
spare on one half. So:
md0 is a raid1 (mirror) of four small partitions of each disk.
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sd[abcd]1
md1 is a raid5 of the remaining portion of three disks plus a spare.
mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=raid5 --raid-devices=3 --spare-devices=1 --assume-clean /dev/sd[abcd]2
md4 is a raid1 (mirror), degraded because disks are currently missing,
of md0 and "missing".
mdadm --create /dev/md4 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 missing
md5 is a raid1 (mirror), degraded because disks are currently missing,
of md1 and "missing".
mdadm --create /dev/md5 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md1 missing
I configured my lvm volumes on md5, and as I mentioned, anaconda does
see the members.
lvm> pvcreate /dev/md5
lvm> vgcreate -s 32m vg0 /dev/md5
lvm> lvcreate -L 1024m -n root vg0 ; ...
lvm> vgchange -a y vg0
Aside, anaconda displays md0 and md1 in the list of RAID volumes (both
as type "foreign"), but *not* md4 and md5 -- even though they are just
normal mirror RAIDs. Is this because they are degraded?
I suspect anaconda lists the lvm members because it notices which vg's
are active. It doesn't believe md5 contains a physical volume suitable
for LVM use. (In fact, I don't think anaconda believes there any
physical volumes for lvm on the system at all and, as above, it doesn't
show md5 at all.)
If I cannot get anaconda to cooperate, I'll install onto a raid5 array
on temporary disks, then move the entire system into the proper
nested-RAID5/RAID1/LVM setup.
Thanks for suggestions.
Regards,
Richard

emacs curiosity
by Tom Horsley
On two different fedora 8 systems now, I have done a
yum update, then the next time I started emacs, I've
had it error off during initialization with a message
about regular expression too big.
If I attempt to reproduce the problem, I find emacs
starts up perfectly OK on the next try.
If I look in /var/log/yum.log, I don't see any updates
that appear to be remotely related to emacs.
Anyone have a clue what the heck is going on here?
I'm just curious. Since it fixes itself, it is no
big deal I guess :-).

F9 - sendmail won't send on startup?
by Knute Johnson
I've got two installations of F9 running, one x86_64 and the other i386.
They both fail to send email initially but if I restart sendmail they
send fine after that. I'm using thunderbird and have it configured to
use the local sendmail for sending. The only thing I've modified in my
sendmail.mc file is the masquerading. Any ideas where to start looking?
Thanks,
knute...
