Configuring FC13
by Alex 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Hi, I've just installed FC13 and have a few general questions. - Configuring xterm: How can I configure the colors and fonts on an xterm? Do I still have to use xfontsel, etc, or is there a more modern way? - Google Desktop: I've downloaded and installed the Google desktop RPM, but it seems to only provide desktop search functions. How do I install and run the sidebar with the desktop plugins? - Is it possible to run the Pandora desktop application on Linux? I believe it's based on Adobe Air, which I understand is available on Linux? Thanks, Alex

f13: nvidia / nouveau / kernel 2.6.33
by Chris Rouch 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I have a laptop with an nvidia GeForce 9200M GS card in it. Until recently I was running f12 and the rpmfusion rpms, without any problems. Now I have installed f13 and am having problems. If i use the rpmfusion kmod rpms (or the atrmps kmdls or the binary installation from nvidia) then i get problems when i log out or shutdown or reboot, at least from the menu. The X server will exit and show the last 1 or 2 lines from the boot sequence, but then nothing. I have to press the power button to get it to shutdown. If I use the nouveau driver, I get random lockups - I have basic compositing enabled and i think it happens when kwin is trying to reorder some windows or menus.. At this point i have to press and hold the power button and crash the laptop. There are already a couple of bugzillas for this already. Running out of things to try I installed the current f12 kernel: rpm -ivh --oldpackage kernel-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.x86_64.rpm rpm -Uvh --oldpackage kernel-devel-2.6.32.16-141.fc12.x86_64.rpm I use akmods, so the new nvidia kmod was built and installed as part of the build process. Lo and behold, this works as expected. So there is something changed in kernel 2.6.33 which breaks the nvidia kmdl. My question is - is there any point raising a bugzilla bug for this? I would guess the fedora bugzilla guys would politely suggest i use nouveau instead. Also, If anyone has a better fix, I'd be glad to hear it. Regards, Chris

It is an at&t uverse router. Even the windows machines cannot get a dhcp brokered address over wireless. So I set all 3 windows machines to static ip's as well.

If you tell yum to remove a package, it'll remove that package and any package that requires it. But there could be possibility that some dependency which the yum uninstalls, could be used by some other package(s) as well. And during the uninstallation, I am not sure, if it prompts for yes or no to uninstall that particular dependency if we don't use the -y arguement. Regards, Parshwa Murdia

Using rpm directly makes the 2 databases inconsistent with each other. yum is really having much functions. Regards, Parshwa Murdia

Fedora has hundreds of projects running at any time and only a small fraction of it is connected to Red Hat. I assumed you just searched for cloud in the wiki and threw up the first link that came up. Read what it says in more details. Fedora's infrastructure efforts on virtualization pre-dates Red Hat's cloud efforts by a few years. Fedora has always used VM's to build packages.

The technologies involved have already been widely used, namely virtualization and other things. Read the document for consulting and you can see for yourself how this is not something fundamental new. Rahul

RAID adventures
by Konstantin Svist 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I've been playing around with RAID config and may have finally messed it up. Initially, I created the array with 3 300G drives: # mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 # mkfs.ext4 -v -m 0.01 -E stride=16,stripe-width=32 /dev/md0 It's been working nicely so far, and I decided to add a 4th 300G drive: # mdadm --grow --raid-devices=4 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0.bak /dev/md0 That finished overnight, while I looked around and found that chunk size of 512 should work better. I unmounted the FS and ran # mdadm --grow -c 512 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0_rechunk.bak /dev/md0 mdadm: component size 293033536K is not a multiple of chunksize 512K so I sized it down a bit: # mdadm --grow -z 293033472 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0_size.bak /dev/md0 and then back to resizing chunks: mdadm --grow -c 512 --backup-file=/root/grow_md0_rechunk.bak /dev/md0 It's running right now: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : active raid5 sdd1[3] sda4[0] sdc1[2] sdb1[1] 293033472 blocks super 0.91 level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] [====>................] reshape = 22.7% (66540032/293033472) finish=947.3min speed=3984K/sec But just now I tried to mount the filesystem and it's failing: EXT4-fs (md0): bad geometry: block count 146516768 exceeds size of device (73258368 blocks) Here's the question, then: am I royally screwed or is my data still there? How do I recover?
