F9: [unsupported] rt2870 now works, but requires restarting named & httpd after (re)boot?
by Dan Thurman 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

First, I know F9 is no longer supported, but wanted to ask if there is a workaround to this problem. I finally got rt2870 to work on F9, however, I noticed during a reboot, httpd complained that it could not find the host's domain, so it chose 127.0.0.1, and secondly named responded only to localhost queries. I discovered that restarting named and httpd, in that order, after a reboot, restored normalcy. The key issue seems to be that named is not properly started before services? Or perhaps amanda and/or dnsmasq is interfering with named? Is there a fix or a workaround for this issue? Thanks-

Hi, I'm planning to purchase an USB TV stick (for DVB-T). I saw that the AVermedia AVerTV Black HD/-A850 USB is running properly under Ubuntu. Can somebody confirm that is runs properly under F13 too? Kind regards and thanx in advance Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

vim-latex trouble
by Ankur Sinha 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

hi, I recently came across what looks like an awesome tool : vim-latex. I've installed the fedora packages using yum. [Ankur@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep vim vim-latex-doc-1.8.23-1.20100129.r1104.fc13.noarch vim-latex-1.8.23-1.20100129.r1104.fc13.noarch vim-minimal-7.2.411-1.fc13.x86_64 vim-common-7.2.411-1.fc13.x86_64 vim-vimoutliner-0.3.4-12.fc12.noarch vim-enhanced-7.2.411-1.fc13.x86_64 vim-X11-7.2.411-1.fc13.x86_64 I'm trying to follow the official tutorial[1]. It doesn't seem to work. The tutorial says : "If the installation went well, you should see a new set of menus appear. Goto Tex-Suite > Templates." Creating a new file newfile.tex doesn't cause this to happen. Am I missing out something? On a related note, the tutorial is for the gui version of vim (vim-X11). Would someone know how to use this on a terminal version of vim here? [1] > http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite-quickstart.html#… -- Thanks!

I'm hoping rpm and yum will work properly from a > chroot'ed environment. The short version is the chroot worked. For those of you who want to know the gory details read on: I didn't have any x86_64 boot discs handy so I ended up burning one from my desktop by booting to my System Rescue CD that I've got installed on my /boot partition, burning a F13 64bit install DVD and booting it into rescue mode. After that I: - chroot'd to /mnt/sysimage which rescue mode automatically mounts your existing file system. If you don't use a Rescue mode you'll have to do that part manually. - figured out what the offending packages were by 'grep fc14 /var/log/yum.log > fc14_packages.txt' - Edited the resulting file removing everything but the base package name - Did a "yum downgrade `cat fc14_packages.txt`" - (probable unnecessary steps) exited the chroot and did a 'sync' - Rebooted On the first reboot it wanted to so a selinux relabel on the whole file system. Not sure why.. but everything came up normally on the second reboot! Next time I try packages from rawhide I think I'll setup a LVM snapshot first although I think I still would have to boot to a Rescue disk or other Live system to drop the snapshot and I'm not sure if snapshot merging is available yet in Fedora.

HELP! Installed some rawhide packages and now system will not boot!
by Richard Shaw 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Well I installed parted/libparted from rawhide to get version 2.3 as I was bitten by the resize bug and some other issues with the current version in Fedora 12/13. It pulled in a few dependencies and one of them broke my system, I'm thinking it was dev-mapper. On reboot LVM was able to find all 4 of my logical volumes but then the boot process fails and I get a message that I need to run e2fsck. The actual problem is that for some reason only two of my four LVs are showing in /dev/mapper... I booted System Rescue CD and it was able to mount the LVs fine and they all checked out clean. I have the following LVM layout: VG: vg-hobbes LVs: lv-root, lv-var, lv-swap VG: vg-home (whole disk VG, no dos partition) LV: lv-home Only lv-home and lv-var are showing up in /dev/mapper My plan at this point is to boot a Fedora LiveCD, mount my LVs and chroot to it. I'm hoping rpm and yum will work properly from a chroot'ed environment. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Richard

F12: tail -f <filename> inside .gvfs filesystem fails?
by Dan Thurman 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

I cannot get a tail -f <filename> inside of .gvfs with a remote mounted ntfs filesystem as done via Nautilus->Places->Network - this has worked prior to F12. Has anyone tried this on F12/13 and got it to work?

SE Linux issue: "Error checking policy version." (sealert -s)
by Christofer C. Bell 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

When I start the SE Linux Troubleshooter, it does not display any alerts and the following error appears at the bottom of the window; Error checking policy version. I don't see a bug on this in bugzilla, at least that I can find, and the tool seems to be working for a friend of mine. I've ensured I have all available patches installed and I have done an auto-relabel reboot: # touch /.autorelabel # reboot without any change in status. Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? Thank you. -- Chris

Preupgrade F11 ---> F12 ?
by Peter Diercks 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hello List, I am running a server under F11. It is a remote machine which I have no physical access to. It has a network connection. I wanted to upgrade to F12 using preupgrade again, but this time I am afraid I'll run into problems due to the size of /boot (194M, 153M free space). Does anybody know if this issue has been fixed? Greetings, Peter

Still no kmod for new Nvidia
by Michael Miles 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hello I have been using Fedora 12 and I like the nvidia driver as it makes my card work like it should. My question is the last update for Nvidia driver195.36.31-2 seems to have no kmod for 2.6.32.16_141. The kmod is there but they list as 2.6.32.16_141-1 and the same as the kmod for 2.6.32.14_127 also ends with -1 The driver 195.36.31-2 is a update to the 195.36.31-1 but the kmods have not been updated. Will these kmods works ok if I manually install them but they are not being identified because of the different endings driver has a -2, the kmods end with -1 still. Also I have sent this to RPM Fusion with no luck with any answer as by the looks of things all the questions on the mailing list there ( about 20 for a month) have all come from this list. I just want to know if it is safe to even go ahead with this new driver as it is an and is mislabelled. That's why Fedora update is not picking it up. I know there is no support here, but I hope someone knows the answer to the question above Thank you Michael Fedora 12 x86_64 Nvidia 9400GT
