System hang on reboot after FC12 upgrade
by philbrog
Hi,
I upgraded from FC11 to FC12 and system hangs during reboot. I removed RHGB from the boot command line and I see 4 occurrences of this error message:
Missing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions, exiting.
Then this message:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth: line 298: 858 segmentation fault /sbin/dhclient ${DHCLIENTARGS} ${DEVICE} failed. [FAILED]
Then these error messages:
Starting NFS daemon: rpc.nfsd: unable to resolve ANYADDR:nfs to inet address: Name or service not known
Rpc.nfsd: unable to set any sockets for nfsd [FAILED]
Then these error messages:
Starting jexec servicesStarting Avahi daemon... [FAILED]
Starting HAL daemon: [FAILED]
System hangs at this point. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Generating printable redirection output with ">"
by Dick Roark
I am trying to generate printable output by using
man k lpr > lprman.txt
This works but the output contains unwanted characters generated by text
which was "bold" in the original output. How can I prevent these confusing
characters from being generated?
Thanks.

KDE terminal emulator prompt covering last typed character
by Claude Jones
At least with two different terminal emulators, konsole and yakuake, I'm
experiencing the phenomenon. After typing a character, it remains concealed by
the prompt until I type the next character. I've been googling this for awhile
now but either it's a rare issue or I'm using the wrong search terms. I've
gone through the settings a couple of times as well. This only happens in
terminal windows, not, for example, in text entry windows like this new email
message window I'm currently typing into. Also, it doesn't happen in Gnome
terminal, only the two listed above. Makes it kind of hard to spell check as
you go since you can't see what you've typed till you type the next
character... Anyone else have this?

Fwd: Updates next steps
by Charles Zeitler
Do what thou wilt
shall be the whole of the Law.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: William Jon McCann <william.jon.mccann(a)gmail.com>
Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:02:47 -0400
Subject: Updates next steps
To: Discussions about development for the Fedora desktop
<desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>
Hey folks,
We discussed this a bit on IRC yesterday but I wanted to bring it up
on the list too. (here McCann refers to the Desktop list)
Now that we have rough consensus that we should try to limit the
volume of "pointless" updates, what is next?
I propose we look at two things right away:
1. Limit the frequency of non-critical updates to once per week in
stable releases
2. Establish norms or rules that limit the types of changes in stable
releases to ensure the releases remain stable
A concrete example of the kind of thing that I think we should try to avoid:
Two days ago I installed updates for F12 (over a hundred random
updates) then yesterday I noticed a lot more udpates (40ish) that
included an update for vala 0.8.0 with the description "Update to new
major release 0.8.0".
Longer term, I'd like to see a more comprehensive plan similar to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop/Whiteboards/UpdateExperience but
we probably need to work towards that incrementally.
Thoughts? What is the best way to accomplish these two things?

desktop mailing list
desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
my questions and concerns:
1. we do?
2. what constitutes 'pointless'?
3. shouldn't this be on the 'users' list? does it not affect other users?
4. how is 'critical' defined?
5. what is this 'stable release' ( as opposed to 'release' )?
6. what steps would be taken to ensure that this 'stability' does not
interfere with 'incubate(ing) innovative new technologies'?
7. now we have proposal after proposal, trying to produce
a "stable release" and insisting on imposing such a level
of "stability" into Fedora's releases, that i fear the result
would seriously interfere with the original goals of this fine
distribution.
have been poorly addressed, or not at all.
instead of asking if these things _should_ be done,
(and they ultimately include, for example, limiting
updates to bugfixes and security patches) McCann
says:
" It is pretty clear that we want to make the user experience around
updates better for our users - now we need to do it. There will be
people who don't agree (at least until we demonstrate it is better by
actually doing it) but we need to do it anyway.
If possible, I'd really like to keep the discussion in this thread
related to ideation on how we can accomplish the two things I
mentioned. From that we can develop a proposal that includes the why."
where "we" means either:
"the people who are interested in designing and defining
the user experience of this desktop thing." or "the project"
i believe such ill-designed and extreme (check the subsumed
proposals)* proposals deserves your consideration.
* from Jesse Keating:
" > 2. Establish norms or rules that limit the types of changes in stable
> releases to ensure the releases remain stable
>
>
I had started on a proposal that addresses this, or at least attempts to
classify the types of updates we do, so that some rules could be layered
on top of those types.

is there an ieee handler in Linux?
by Reg Clemens
There must be a handler for ieee arithmetic errors under Linux for C and for
Fortran,
but my search with man and google don't turn up anything.
Can someone point me at the correct subroutine names.
