Missing file in .rpm
by Patrick Dupre 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hello, I downloaded the file: lyx-common-1.6.8-1.fc13.noarch.rpm then: rpm -qpl /tmp/lyx-common-1.6.8-1.fc13.noarch.rpm |grep LaTeXC gives me: /usr/share/lyx/doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx /usr/share/lyx/doc/ja/LaTeXConfig.lyx But if I make: rpm2cpio /tmp/lyx-common-1.6.8-1.fc13.noarch.rpm | cpio -t |grep LaTeXC I get: ./usr/share/lyx/doc/ja/LaTeXConfig.lyx Where is the file: /usr/share/lyx/doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx ????

invoking shellscript from desktop icon
by Fred Smith 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi all! I've got a shellscript that is invoked by a desktop icon. works fine. but every time I do it I get a gnome prompt asking if I want to run in terminal, run, view, etc. is there a way to disable that prompt FOR A SPECIFIC PROGRAM? I know it can be disabled for all, but in general I don't want it totally disabled, I just don't want to see it when I run this single program. I don't see any options in right-click/properties that would do it. Thanks in advance! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:3 (niv) -----------------------------

Recurring problem on 6-core FC14 system
by William W. Austin 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Recently I replaced MB/CPU/Memory on my main workstation, and a few days later I installed FC14. The problems started then. I have tried looking this one up in bugzilla, but so far with no luck. The system ran cleanly for 4 days on FC13 and the problems I describing started only after the new install. THE PROBLEM (h/w s/w details after this section): What is happening is that processes are dying randomly. So far no core dumps however, so I can't go into it that way. I did start a background process going however, and every 2 minutes I do a dump of dmseg to a file. Currently I have about 3000 saves of dmesg to look at. Only a couple of things fall out: 1) 16 times I have hit a combination of both the message "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000049" "Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP" (or [#14] which I presume means both 1 & 4) (16 out of 3000 is statistically below the noise threshold) 2) 88 times I got the message: "last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sdb/sdb6/stat" Those were the only consistent problems which came out of the dmesg outputs - the 'tainted' process has most commonly been ps (54 times), followed by jackd (11 times) and plasma-desktop (4 times) I would have thought the message about the problems with /sdb6 was significant but I tried installing on a different drive, and the same problem continues. Then it hit me - I have accounting turned on and that's where /var/log lives .... so that one was probably a false lead. Finally I suspected a memory problem - but memtest86 couldn't find the problem. I still have about a week to return MB or CPU or Memory if I could narrow the problem down to one of them - but without being able to narrow the problem down to a specific component, I can't really do that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to be stuck with a buggy system. H/W S/W DETAILS: Here are some of the pertinent details for this box: (BTW: nothing is overclocked) MB: Gigabyte 890XA-UD3 CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor Mem: 8gb Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 HD's: 5 sata 3 drivers, 3.75Tb total Installed cards: - D-Link System Inc DGE-560T PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 13)\ - Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W - Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04) - JMicron Technology Corp. JMB362/JMB363 Serial ATA Controller* (* for a set of 4 2GB drives to hold data for analysis - drives not\ currently on system) Alien drivers: I'm using the nvidia drivers now, but the same thing happened with the noiveau and vesa drivers, so I don't think that's it. Finally, I'm a computer geek for a living, and I also build about 6-8 new systems a year for myself of friends and upgrade 12-15. I've been doing this for at least 15 years and consider myself relatively experienced with working at the hardware level. The install was a fresh install, wiping out the previous FC13 installation.

Packages remaining after upgrade
by Alex 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi, I've just upgraded from fc13 to fc14, and I've noticed there are multitudes of packages remaining not only from fc13, but even from fc12. I'm sure some of them just haven't been updated, but I had a problem with the recent upgrade, and I'm concerned there may be some lingering problems. For example, has expat really not been upgraded since fc13? I have a 100 packages from fc12 still installed. Is that normal? This includes libXaw, lzo, smp_utils, which, xorg-x11-xauth, mozilla-filesystem, among others. Is fc12 even still supported? Thanks for any ideas. Best, Alex

crontab - scripts not exiciting.
by Gregory Machin 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi. I have a script that needs to run from a cron job. I added the script as explained, in the deployment instructions. crontab -e (root) looks as follows * * * * * /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server1 -z 10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1 * * * * * /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server2 -z 10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1 file permissions # ls -asl /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py 12 -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 8740 Mar 11 10:05 /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py the messages log indicates that it has run Mar 11 11:47:01 linux-epfq /usr/sbin/cron[18297]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server1 -z 10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1 ) Mar 11 11:47:01 linux-epfq /usr/sbin/cron[18299]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/ZabbixApacheUpdater.py -c server2 -z 10.24.0.231 > /dev/null 2>&1) But it's not doing anything. When I run the same syntax command from the command line it runs correctly every time. I have tried changing the fill permissions and the syntax of the cron entries but nothing works. Any ideas what I have missed ? Thanks

Force exit status if file not found
by Sergio Belkin 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hi, I am writing a script that it searchs for a file. I'd want to exit with status non-zero if the file is not found. But find cannot do that. find command only exit with status non-zero one file is not processed successfully. locate command con do that, but it cannot find a file from a given directory. How can I do it? Thanks in advance! -- -- Sergio Belkin http://www.sergiobelkin.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com LPIC-2 Certified - http://www.lpi.org

selinux vbetool error
by Alex 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi all, I've just upgraded an fc13 x86_64 box to fc14, and had quite a bit of trouble with the upgrade process due to a hardware problem. After eventually completing the upgrade, I'm left with one remaining selinux error that I can't figure out: [ 10.017350] type=1400 audit(1299697430.359:4): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=664 comm="vbetool" scontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect What is the cause of this, and any suggestions on how to resolve it? Thanks, Alex

Dears, Recently upgraded from Fedora 9 to Fedora 12 (upgrade procedure not fresh install) and Xorg appears to behave strange, cpu jumps to high utilization and Xorg getting 50% or more and swap keep increasing.
