problem using revisor in F12
by "Germán A. Racca"
Hello list,
I want to use revisor (in GUI mode) to create an optical live media of
F12, but before I've created a kickstart file using
system-config-kickstart to pass to revisor. Then, I run revisor using a
config file I've created including the F12-i386 repository. It preforms
several tasks from the list it displays
Resolve Dependencies - Done
Populating Statistics - Done
Downloading Packages - Done
Creating ext3 Filesystem - Done
Installing packages - Done
Configure System - Running...
and then it stays there indefinitely...looking at the console, it shows
the message available at the end of this mail.
This is the first time I use revisor and the kickstart creator.
Can anybody help me?
Regards,
Germán.

fedora-related pdftohtml utility?
by Robert P. J. Day
as a short followup to my last post, apparently, a particular
software package advertises that it needs PDFtoHTML. there's no such
fedora package, but there *is* poppler-utils:
$ rpm -ql poppler-utils
/usr/bin/pdffonts
/usr/bin/pdfimages
/usr/bin/pdfinfo
/usr/bin/pdftohtml
/usr/bin/pdftoppm
/usr/bin/pdftops
/usr/bin/pdftotext
... snip ...
does anyone know offhand whether having poppler-utils installed will
satisfy the alleged PDFtoHTML requirement? or whether i should get
PDFtoHTML from sourceforge? (i can't download the software itself
just yet in order to test. if i could, i'd just check if it was
trying to execute something called "pdftohtml".)

What component is wrong about a keyboard?
by Tom Horsley
I find this nonsense in my Xorg.0.log file:
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard
(**) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: always reports core events
(**) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Device: "/dev/input/event5"
(II) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Found 1 mouse buttons
(II) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Found scroll wheel(s)
(II) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Found relative axes
(II) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Found absolute axes
(II) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Found keys
(II) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Configuring as mouse
(II) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: Configuring as keyboard
(**) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Logitech Logitech Illuminated Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
There is absolutely no hardware on this keyboard that could be
considered a mouse. No wheel, no touchpad, nuthin. Where is
it getting this idea? If it is really a bug, what component
should it be reported against?

Yes, exactly the point of my earlier reply.
If you 'cp' or 'mv' the vmlinuz and initrd.img to
your internal disks, then grub can find them.

F12 + ath9k + hostapd (0.7.0) = problems
by jaivuk
Hello guys,
After the a bit problematic upgrade to F12 I tried to make my wifi AP (WPA2)
work. SoI compiled hostapd trunk version I used without a problem in F11 and
I immediately experienced DHCP problems and wifi clients were disconnected
after about 2-5 minutes after the handshake was established (and did not
reconnect afterwards).
I made an upgrade to the latest F12 kernel and tried again. I also tried
latest developement hostapd version - 0.7.0 but without luck.
As the last resort I managed to install latest F11 kernel to my F12 and
bingo - wifi is stable and DHCP problems dissapeared.
So in summary:
F12 kernel kernel-PAE-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 and
kernel-PAE-2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686 do not work for me with hostapd 0.7.0 or
older trunk version.
F11 kernel kernel-PAE-2.6.30.9-99.fc11.i686 works fine.
Cheers,
Jaiv

----------------
All I can say is what I have successfully done, more than once.
--I can _install_ to my USB external disk.
---I installed f11 via first downloading iso to my internal disks.
and then followed hard-disk install procedure.
---I also installed f10 to my USB external disk, here via DVD.
In both cases the anaconda installer sees the USB as sda
and reorders my internal disks to sdb, sdc
--In neither case, could I _boot_ the USB installs, unless I
put the vmlinuz,initrd onto my internal disk
and referenced properly that internal disk location
with the proper "root (hd1,0)" in my grub.conf.
This root (hd1,0) line in grub.conf does not use the reordered positions for
disks as seen by anaconda. Instead it uses the internal disks
as if the USB is not there at all; because that is what my BIOS sees.
This is not pointless at all: my goal was to use external USB
for the installs because I had no easily used room on my internal disks.
Possibly I have misinterpreted what you are trying to do;
if so, sorry for the noise

F12 starting Gnote
by SternData
When I upgraded to F12 from F11, I installed Gnote and removed Tomboy.
To get Gnote to start with Gnome, I added it to the session preferences
as "/usr/bin/gnote". Now, when I login, Gnote starts, displaying the
search window. When I close the search window, Gnote exits entirely.
If I then restart it from Applications -> Accessories, it starts again
(properly) as a tray icon.
How do I get it to start as a tray icon with the session start?

Upgrade from F11 to F12 - problem with LVM and raid
by jaivuk
Hi guys,
I tried to upgrade F11 with soft raid F12. So far I used yum to upgrade
Fedora 1 up to F11. My yum update went wrong and my server wes forcefully
rebooted in the middle so none kernel from F11 works anymore.
After I booted F12 DVD - if I select "Install or Upgrade" and "Replace
existing Linux System" the probem is that my original raid raids are not
mounted. I can see:
<6>md6: radi1: raid set md0 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors
<6>md0: detected capacity change from 0 to xxxx
<3>"Buffer I/O error on device md0, logical block 0"
...
<3>"Buffer I/O error on device md0, logical block 9"
<6>md0: detected capacity change from xxxx to 0
...
<6>md: md0 is stopped
This whole raid process repeats iteslf several times and it takes about
10-15 minutes.
However with "Replace existing Linux System" option, raid arrays are not
mounted successfuly and I cannot install F12 over F11.
But when I select rescue option from F12 DVD, the same errors are displayed
but my all old arrays are eventually mounted, so I can see all the files.
Also once arrays are mounted they appear working and healthy.
Do you please have any hint how can I refresh or repair my md arrayrs so it
does not take ages before these are mounted and at the first place they are
mounted every time?
Is there any safe raid command I can do in rescue mode so this is achieved
and I won't loss my data?
Do you think that my raid arrays created in times of Fefdora 1 can cause
this problem?
This situation is very painful as I killed my day today trying to fix it
without luck :(
Thank you very much gyus,
Jaiv
PS: During my initial tries I reinstalled swap (as it was encrypted on the
old system and Anaconda always asked for pw which I do not have) and I did
it with the command:
mkswap -f -L swap /dev/VolGrolup00/LogVol00
Do you think I could have damaged my raid arrays by using "-f" option?
