loop device encryption with Fedora 11 and losetup -e
by Patrick Mansfield 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi all - What valid encryptions can be used under Fedora 11 with losetup? Do I need to manually load the corresponding kernel module? Loading aes_i586 and/or aes_generic made no difference. Are there now better alternatives than using "losetup -e"? I keep getting EINVAL while trying to use "losetup -e". I'm running with the latest updates, kernel is 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE The only thing I can use is "-e 1" or "-E 1", losetup tells me that is just an XOR encryption. These fail: # losetup -e 2 /dev/loop0 ./test.image Password: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument # losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 ./test.image Password: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument These both work (losetup -e and -E seem to be treated the same): # losetup -e 1 /dev/loop0 ./test.image Password: # losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/loop0: [fd02]:3918266 (/home/test/data_images/test.image), encryption XOR (type 1) # losetup -d /dev/loop0 # losetup -E 1 /dev/loop0 ./test.image Password: # losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/loop0: [fd02]:3918266 (/home/test/data_images/test.image), encryption XOR (type 1) -- Patrick Mansfield

nautilus-cd-burner for fedora 11
by Yordanis Tornes Medina 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi There is any way to install nautilus-cd-burner over Fedora 11? Gnome 2.26 come with Brasero as default burn application but Brasero take about 45 min to burn a 4.7 GB data DVD, when on Fedora 10 I burn the same only in 15 min. I know that Brasero is a more robust application for CD/DVD burning, but for simple task, nautilus-cd-burner is more faster. Greetings

I did this and it installed the lastest kernel's PAE version. And its running too. # uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Sep 25 04:56:58 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux HOWEVER... when it was booting, it gave a couple errors about not being able to find the nvidia driver and it appears not have installed it either: $ lsmod | grep nvidia $ lsmod | grep nv $ lsmod | grep vid video 18744 0 uvcvideo 50572 0 videodev 29612 1 uvcvideo v4l1_compat 12048 2 uvcvideo,videodev output 2476 1 video There is no kmod-nvidia for this kernel. I have been using akmod-nvidia for my nvidia drivers. Does akmod-nvidia not work with PAE kernels or do I have do set up something different ? Thanks

fribidi error with abiword on F11
by Globe Trotter 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hi, I have been having the following error when I use abiword on a Word .doc on F11. Specifically, I get the following: abiword: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libabiword-2.6.so: undefined symbol: fribidi_get_type Looking around the web, it appears that I am missing libfribidi0. But this is not available anywhere for F11. So is there another way out, or to get out of this message? best wishes, Trotter

latest F11 64-bit Firefox unstable for me
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Firefox has always been a bit unstable for me. It used to crash once a week or so. Usually this bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21583 I admit that I use a lot of windows and tabs. In the last few days, firefox has started to crash once a day or so. You can see this by the timestamps on my core files: -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1669668864 2009-09-12 02:17 core.2981 -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1280552960 2009-09-20 14:23 core.2978 -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1408999424 2009-09-21 15:33 core.12617 -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1408507904 2009-09-22 17:54 core.5627 Nice and big, eh? These recent crashes are signal 11's -- segfaults. This is new to me. This firefox was installed September 16. I'm not sure why it started crashing. Maybe a particular web page that I have open. Anyone else notice a recent increase in firefox crashes? Oh, while I'm asking, any idea why firefox spews this on the console? Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I get hundreds of them. I almost never use Flash (I have flashblock). PS: the gdb backtraces on the firefox cores doesn't seem informative: (gdb) where #0 0x000000342560edab in raise (sig=<value optimized out>) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pt-raise.c:42 #1 0x0000003ebec770b8 in nsProfileLock::FatalSignalHandler (signo=11) at nsProfileLock.cpp:212 #2 <signal handler called> #3 pt_PostNotifyToCvar (cvar=0x0, broadcast=0) at ../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptsynch.c:312 #4 0x00000034372233cb in PR_NotifyCondVar (cvar=0x0) at ../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptsynch.c:445 #5 0x000000343722b78b in ProcessReapedChildInternal ( status=<value optimized out>, pid=<value optimized out>) at ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/md/unix/uxproces.c:553 #6 WaitPidDaemonThread (status=<value optimized out>, pid=<value optimized out>) at ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/md/unix/uxproces.c:680 #7 0x0000003437229473 in _pt_root (arg=<value optimized out>) at ../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptthread.c:228 #8 0x000000342560686a in start_thread (arg=<value optimized out>) at pthread_create.c:297 #9 0x0000003424ade3bd in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:112 #10 0x0000000000000000 in ??

When I installed fedora I also couldn't play CDs. In my case it was necessary to change the phonon backend, after which I've had no problems. I've seen many other people complain about having no sound or having lost sound, but in their case they have removed pulseaudio expecting it to miraculously cure things. Sometimes it has fallen back to alsa cleanly. Sometimes it hasn't and they still have problems. If you want to solve a problem, not just whine about it, you have to be prepared to do some investigation and give more information so that people can help you.
