Issue with OpenOffice.org rpm version of Open Office
by Clint Dilks 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi People, Just a quick note to let those who use the version of OpenOffice from openoffice.org rather than the Fedora repo know that as of today there is a RPM version conflict that means the openoffice.org rpm openoffice.org-ure-1.5.0-9399.i586 will be updated with the Fedora Repo version of this RPM which breaks things. Issue 102851 has been filed with openoffice.org. Have a nice day :)

Suddenly I can't play audio CDs in F11.
by Aaron Konstam 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

I can mount data CDs and play DVDs when inserted but when I insert an audio CD no icon appears on the Desktop and no audio playing occurs. I checked the previous messages on this problem and the last one said: Dumb question, you did check the state of the option to play audio CDs when inserted, right? Under preferences? Well I can find no such option under System->Preferences. Where is it or is there some other resolution of the problem. This used to work. -- ======================================================================= brokee, n: Someone who buys stocks on the advice of a broker. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

F11 XKB troubles
by Beartooth 03 Sep '09

03 Sep '09

One one machine, I keep getting half a dozen popups that all say : Error activating XKB configuration. It can happen under various circumstances: - a bug in libxklavier library - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation X server version data: The X.Org Foundation 10601901 If you report this situation as a bug, please include: - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd It doesn't say *where* to send a bug report. So I ran those commands, and got : [btth@Hbsk ~]$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105+inet", "us", "", "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" [btth@Hbsk ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [] options = [] model = [btth@Hbsk ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [] options = [] model = [btth@Hbsk ~]$ None of that means anything to me. I tried yum remove xkb, meaning to follow it with yum install xkb, but yum didn't find it. I tried googling, and I tried yum whatprovides. That got me to / usr/share/X11/xkb -- but everything in the readmes is Geek to me. When I was working, all of us in my section had lots of what we then called macros such as type Ctrl-b, and the machine would put "Includes bibliographical references" into the proper field. What little I can follow seems to say that such tricks are what XKB does; but I don't use them now, and haven't since I retired. Should I just remove XKB? If so, how? If not that, what? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

F11: I keep losing audio
by Colin Brace 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi all, Since upgrading from F10 to F11 several weeks ago, I have been having recurring problems with audio, and I am having difficulty figuring out what is going on. To start with, when Gnome starts up, sounds works fine in all apps. Then it dies. Not while I am using the system; during inactivity, so I don't get any leads. The volume sliderbar, ie, Sound Preferences applet still "sees" the audio device (in earlier times, when sound died, the Sound Preferences no long recognized the audio device). I try to restarting nasd, no luck. I logout, login again, Gnome restarts, sounds works now. Wild guess: something to do with Flash. From dmesg: $ dmesg | grep npviewer npviewer.bin[12200]: segfault at b6fa7030 ip 007c6ccd sp bf9cb688 error 4 in libpthread-2.10.1.so[7bf000+16000] npviewer.bin[20778] general protection ip:130a31c sp:bff88450 error:0 in libflashplayer.so[f9c000+96d000] npviewer.bin[11448] general protection ip:116b31c sp:bfc9bdf0 error:0 in libflashplayer.so[dfd000+96d000] Is npviewer "taking down" the audio when it segfaults? I also see this line in dmesg, but it scarcely seems important: hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. Can someone give me some ideas on how to figure out what is happening here? Thanks. specs: $ lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) uname -a Linux ariel 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Tue Jun 16 23:11:39 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/F11%3A-I-keep-losing-audio-tp24372482p24372482.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

RAID 1 error question - boot problem.
by Robin Laing 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hello, I am trying to help someone get a system to reboot after a system issue. He is not the builder of the system and the person that knows the system is away for a few weeks. Great timing. :) It is Fedora 10. Two drives, two partitions each drive which one is a mirror. /dev/sda is partitioned as /boot and / which is mirror 1. /dev/sdb is partitioned as swap and / The system wouldn't restart on the reboot and came up with an error after creating the raid arrays and then saying that it cannot find /dev/md0. I don't have the exact error message right now. Using an Ubuntu disk (persons personal preference) the system was booted into a live system and using gparted the partitions were shown to be as above with as I see it, one error. /dev/sda1 ext3 boot /dev/sda2 ext3 / raid /dev/sdb1 Swap /dev/sdb2 Unknown / raid Running mdadm /dev/sdb2 --examine shows that the partition superblock is showing RAID 1 and that it is clean. As this is a critical system, it is a priority and is being used as a virtual server. With only the second drive installed, we tried to run fsck.ext3 on the /dev/sda2 (normally b2) with no success. We also tried /dev/md0 as Ubuntu has created the /dev/md0 from the single drive. The user has not tried to boot with only the one drive in yet. He is making a copy of the drive on a different system. Now, the question. On booting from a mirror 1 array, if there is a problem with the raid system, how does the boot process read the mdadm.conf file when it is on the RAID array that needs to be created? Is there some data that is stored in the /boot or someplace else that has the necessary info to tell the system how to build the array? Is it part of the /boot/grub/device.map or /boot/System.map* ? Any suggestions to where to start? Thank you. -- Robin Laing
