Upstart and powerfailures
by Edwin Dicker 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Hi all, I recently went from FC5 to F9 and learned that the SystemV inittab has been replaced by upstart. On my FC5 box I had the following in my inittab : pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +3 "Power Failure; System Shutting Down" # If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it. pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled" I have read the upstart documentation but I just can't figure out how an event script should be written like to be able to use a UPS on the system. Does anyone has some experience with this and maybe an example script for a powerfailure ? Thanks in advance, Edwin

problems w/ net (http) install
by Matt Nicholson 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Greetings everyone, So, I'm trying to setup a local server for some net-installs I hope to do with a kickstart file. I am, however, running into an issue. I have a copy of the fedora 9 install media on the web server that the install will be pulled from, and everything is in tip top shape. This server is actually a fairly new Xserve, and I am using it simply because it is available, has to disk-space and bandwidth, and is a pretty fast system for multiple systems to kickstart aganst. I would rather be doing this off a Fedora/RHEL server, but, this is what I have for the time being. Anyways, I've rsync'd the install media to the server, and its accessible, however, durring the install, I always get a file or two (sometimes different, sometimes the same), that anaconda spits back at me, saying it could not find/read the file, make sure its not currupted, etc etc etc. I can reboot, or retry, and retry always works, that is, until it hit the next file ti doesn't like. I get about 3-4 of these per install, EVERY TIME. I've checked, the files are there, they are the right size, I've even done an MD% of them and they match their sources. I even re-rsync'd the whole thing a few times.If this is a one time deal, I wouldn't mind, but I need to be able to basically start an install (via kickstart) and walk away. Now, normally, I would just say forget it, and do it over FTP, but FTP on this Xserver is very, very slow, and my installs, while succeeding without error, are about 10 times longer with the same package set. Also the network alyout means NFS is off the table as well. Any ideas? I would love any insight. Thanks! Matt

Real player doesn't work on F9 under KDE
by Patrick O'Callaghan 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I have RealPlayer-11.0.0.4028-20080225.i586 (my system is x86_64 but Real only seem to have a i586 rpm available). When I run realplay from the command line with an appropriate URL (e.g. a BBC video link) I get: realplay.bin:31914): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "nodoka", (realplay.bin:31914): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "nodoka", (realplay.bin:31914): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "nodoka", (realplay.bin:31914): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "nodoka", Opening ALSA PCM device default Opening ALSA PCM device default The program 'realplay.bin' received an X Window System error. etc. This is under KDE and I have KDE Settings configured to use the Nodoka theme for GTK apps, but even when I turn this off I get the same error, except for: ... Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qt4engine" etc. Any suggestions welcome. poc

vncviewer listen problem
by James Pifer 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I'm having a vnc problem. We support remote users with vnc by putting our machines in listen mode (vncviewer -listen). An automated process through a web site has the user's pc make a connection. On windows the vnc software gives a prompt and after you click yes it pops up the window. I'm running vncviewer -listen. I can see a connection in the xterm window. It looks something like this: Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.8 vncviewer: VNC server closed connection VNC connection failed In researching this issue it looks like I may have to use vncconnect. The man pages make it look like it's not the same type of connection. Anyone know how to do this on linux? Be able to be in listen mode and bring up a vnc window when another pc connects? Thanks, James

gnome-applet-music vs. pcop
by Jonathan Ryshpan 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Trying to get gnome-music-applet to communicate with amarok, gnome-applet-music->plugins reports that to communicate with amarok it requires the module pcop; sure enough the code in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/musicapplet/plugins/amarok.py contains the line import pcop Where is pcop? So far web searches have not succeeded. I'm running Fedora-9 on an x86_64 machine. jon

Somewhat OT, R/W access to UFS from recovery CD
by Styma, Robert E (Robert) 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I have some machines which were left by someone who left the company some years ago. They ware loaded with Solaris 7 and have UFS file systems. They also have SCSI disks and my Solaris 10 boot CD does not have the correct drivers, thus it cannot see the disk. I have tried booting from the System Rescue CD and the UBUNTU cd and the FC8 recovery CD. Two of the three can access the UFS file system, but only in read only mode. I get a message saying that UFS support was only compiled in read only mode. Does anyone know of a Linux boot from CD which has the UFS read/write compiled in? I just need to tweek the password file so I can get into these boxes. I would rather not have to build a custom kernel and then build a bootable CD from it. Bob Styma Phoenix, AZ, USA

Anyone Installed Banshee 1.0 on Fedora 8?
by Marc Ferguson 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hi, Has anyone successfully installed the latest version of Banshee on their Fedora 8? My repository has a very low version and I've had problems trying to install via source. Two words, dependency HELL! I don't know what to do at this point... I might need to upgrade to F9. Thanks for any suggestions. Marc F.
