qemu update for fc13 broken?
by Bill Davidsen 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

I just installed the recent qemu update on my KVM server which hosts my VMs for local services. I stopped all VMs, did the upgrade, and reboot. Now none of the VMs respond to mouse or have sound. Any thoughts? x86_64, all stock Fedora stuff, critical service (why I'm working Saturday). -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Why only unstable Chromium?
by Valent Turkovic 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi Tom, I have been using Chromium from your repo for some time now and it was great so far, but lately (since F14) I notices more and more crashes. Now I see that Chromium is based on unstable beta Chrome 11 core while there is no Chromium package based on stable Chrome 10 version. I tried running Chrome 10 for last few days and had zero page crashed while using same pages with Chromium 11 I get constant page crashes. I would like to ask if it is possible to rebase Chromium package on stable version of Chrome 10.

OT? copy live ubuntu iso image to usb for boot
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hi, OK, I guess this would be unacceptable to ask in an Ubuntu mailing list and I was trying to get help with a Fedora iso but since F15 has been pushed back to be nice to mirrors because another distribution is releasing just before the original date, I thought I would try my luck. I am a loyal Fedora user but I have to install a Ubuntu live from an ISO. So, with Fedora, I know what to do. Download the live iso image and copy to usb using the following command: sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso /dev/sdc and everything goes through fine, with a bootable iso image created in the process. But when I try the following: sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdc I get: Verifying image... The media check is complete, the result is: NA. No checksum information available, unable to verify media. Are you SURE you want to continue? Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort WARNING: THIS WILL DESTROY ANY DATA ON /dev/sdc!!! Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort Waiting for devices to settle... mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Filesystem label=LIVE OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks 61440 inodes, 245504 blocks 12275 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=251658240 8 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 7680 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (4096 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 36 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso uses initrd.img w/o install.img Copying DVD image to USB stick Updating boot config file Installing boot loader /media/usbdev.g7vFg6/syslinux is device /dev/sdc1 USB stick set up as live image! Which is actually far less output and an useless (in terms of live or install) iso on the usb. It is however recognized as a iso, but nothing more useful than that. Any suggestions on how to do this with Fedora? I prefer commandline approaches. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Anti-Evolution rant.
by Bill Case 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hi; Just getting some stuff about the Evolution program off my chest. If I can get some suggestions along the way that would be a bonus. The only use I had for WindowsXP was using Outlook to print out my calendar. My Windows harddisk died a month ago. It was due;it was old. But now I have to completely rely on Evolution. Evolution would do me just fine if I could get my calendar printed the way I am used to and the way I want. I no longer have any PIM devices and do I want them. I find devices just interfere with a face-to-face conversation. I want a piece of paper on which I can write quick notes to myself without losing eye contact. Old fashioned -- may be -- but it is what works for me. Windows Outlook used to give me my piece of paper tasks, appointments and all, that I could fold up and carry in my hip or shirt pocket. Three years ago I filled a Request for Enhancement through Gnome Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470934 I seemed to have received some interest at the time so I filed a full description with diagrams for that bug report. Nothing. I have even offered to learn enough about Evolution programming to create it myself. I asked for some advice on how I should get started. (They seemed to be making programming changes at the time). I thought needed some simple advice just to get started particularly for creating print forms. Should it be a plugin? Can I do what I want as a Plugin? Got nothing. Now I am on a search for a replacement for Evolution that lets me have some control over calendar print out forms. Can anybody help? -- Regards Bill Fedora 14, Gnome 2.32 Evo.2.32, Emacs 23.2.1

yum doesn't work as expected with "clean"
by Bill Davidsen 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

The "yum clean packages" command removes all cached rpms as desired, but leaves all the drpm files. I wondered why my disk space was getting tight on a small server, and that was the issue. Is that intended behavior? I'll be happy to file a bug if not. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Cant get networking working in Fedora14
by Reg Clemens 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

I sent this several days ago, and it didnt make it to the list, Im trying again. -------------------- I am just now bringing up Fedora14 (Ive been running Fedora11). Something has changed, since the way I have always done things to bring up networking just doen't work. I can setup /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 either by hand or using the system-config-network script, and everything LOOKS ok, but I can not ping this machine from the outside, nor can I ping from it to another machine on the same network. The hardware is fine, since I have Knoppix running on the machine at the moment (to verify that the machine and its cables were ok) and its networking came up just fine. So, what's changed between Fedora11 and Fedora14, other than setting up the above files (or using system-config-network) what do I need to do??? Thanks in advance. -- Reg.Clemens reg(a)dwf.com
