AGP?
by Michael Hennebry 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

I'm pretty sure I my video card is AGP. When I zapped the old one, I had to look hard to find an AGP card. The old one has "AGP1" printed on it. As I have several windows open, my system (FC11) can't be too confused. From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs#Graphical_desktop_failing_to… : > Some NVIDIA onboard graphics chipsets use AGP, as well as expansion > cards that fit in an AGP slot. To check whether your onboard chipset is > an AGP one, run this command: > > grep -i agp /var/log/Xorg.0.log > > if it returns anything, your chip is an AGP one. If not, it isn't. grep -i agp /var/log/Xorg.0.log does not return anything. lspci -nn | grep orce returns > 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200LE] [10de:0323] (rev a1) ^^^^ PCI ID?

[root@box6 media]# mkfs.msdos -n fd3 /dev/sdc1 mkfs.msdos 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008) [bobg@box6 ~]$ mount ........... %< ................. /dev/sdc1 on /media/fd3 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=500,shortname=winnt,utf8) Before doing that it would no longer mount, once I ran mkfs it mounted when plugged in. Fdisk said it was still formatted FAT32 so I haven't changed that yet. I guess the next thing will be to make certain I can still write to it as it is. Disk /dev/sdc: 4009 MB, 4009754624 bytes 145 heads, 48 sectors/track, 1125 cylinders Units = cylinders of 6960 * 512 = 3563520 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 1 1126 3915752 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) As for "leading me into problems," not to worry, I am quite able to find them without your help! And as you say it's been an interesting exercise. Thanks for the help. Bob

IBM Netfinity 5000
by Ashley M. Kirchner 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

I have an old Netfinity 5000 server that used to run WinNT and I'd like to install Fedora on it, any "recent" version would do (basically, from 10 up). I started with a Fedora 12 DVD and it booted partway ... froze, then the screen said 'Cannot find root partition.' So I decided to try a Fedora 10 disc instead, same result. Tried using an F10 LIVE KDE disk, same thing. It just won't boot up. Hardware wise, it has 2 SCSI drives in it, and an IDE DVD drive. A dual head Matrox card has been put in to replace the original planar video on the board. Any suggestions where I should start diagnosing this beast? Thanks! -- A

Raid I/O error
by Allan R. Batteiger 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Good afternoon I have a sever with a Raid controller, 4 drives setup as Raid 5. Every night I an getting a report showing a lot ( 200-1000) of I/O errors on DM-0. I have also starting getting reports of I/O errors on files. However I do not seem to be able to get any info on what is causing these issues. I thought if a drive was causing the problems, the raid array would be correcting for them. I would have expecting a warning saying I had a drive going bad but not un recoverable errors. The Hardware config is Tyan GX28 with a LSI Megaraid 1430G controller 4X 500 GB SATA drives. I have been doing online searches but so far not much luck. Does any one have any ideas ? Thanks Allan

SELinux denial - F12
by Kurian Thayil 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hi, Installed F12 and did a security update. Now, I get SELinux denial error. SELinux currently in permissive mode. Summary: SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t. Detailed Description: SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are being denied. file_t is the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do not have a label. This indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an SELinux box should ever be labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk drive to the system you can relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you should relabel the entire file system. Allowing Access: You can execute the following command as root to relabel your computer system: "touch /.autorelabel; reboot" Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 Target Objects /home [ dir ] Source gdm-simple-gree Source Path /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-greeter Port <Unknown> Host home-desktop Source RPM Packages gdm-2.28.1-24.fc12 Target RPM Packages filesystem-2.4.30-2.fc12 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-41.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name file Host Name home-desktop Platform Linux home-desktop 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:25:57 EST 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 24 Dec 2009 02:30:08 AM IST Last Seen Thu 24 Dec 2009 02:30:08 AM IST Local ID 6b1ff85c-05fe-4d37-945b-6cd2d54b92fa Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=home-desktop type=AVC msg=audit(1261602008.595:11510): avc: denied { search } for pid=1357 comm="gdm-simple-gree" name="/" dev=sda2 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir node=home-desktop type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1261602008.595:11510): arch=40000003 syscall=292 success=no exit=-13 a0=12 a1=8d6f400 a2=1002fce a3=8d6ec48 items=0 ppid=1325 pid=1357 auid=4294967295 uid=42 gid=473 euid=42 suid=42 fsuid=42 egid=473 sgid=473 fsgid=473 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="gdm-simple-gree" exe="/usr/libexec/gdm-simple-greeter" subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Any idea why this happened after the update? What could be done to prevent this. I am quite a newbie in SELinux scenario. Does, restorecon command fix (restorecon /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-greeter)? Regards, Kurian Thayil.

gnome shell - mouse mostly broken
by Ranbir 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Hi Everyone, I have an ATI Radeon HD3870 installed on my F12 system. For 3D, I've installed the experimental driver package, mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. 3D works: so far, so good. Then, I switched to GNOME Shell. Things looked normal until I tried to left click on the Actions menu - I got nothing. Right clicking, pushing the mouse pointer to the upper left corner, clicking the "+" to add new workspaces, or trying to launch apps from the menu after bringing it up with an "Alt+F1" key press didn't work either. So, the keyboard appears to work properly. What's strange is that left clicking the volume applet or right clicking my name works fine (i.e. I can control the volume, I see a menu, etc.). I use GNOME Shell on a HP laptop without any problems. My USB mouse works flawlessly on that system. What could be the issue? Regards, Ranbir

by Jim 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

FC11 and FC12 / KDE latest version of Firefox keeps jumping back to a previous website, just click on anything in a website, and it kicks you back to a previous website. This happens on two different X86_64 boxes using Fedora 11, 12 .
