Howto resolve crash address into function name / line number?
by Clemens Eisserer 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, I see usb_modeswitch frequently crashing with a segfault, and a message like: Oct 31 19:38:28 localhost kernel: [ 33.953670] usb_modeswitch_[1373]: segfault at 7fffd64bfbe4 ip 0000003000874b06 sp 00007fffd64bfbd0 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[3000800000+1ac000] Is there any way to trace back 7fffd64bfbe4 to the function name / line number? Thank you in advance, Clemens

First f17 install -- on an ee701
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

I have 1Gb of memory upgrade, so I have enough memory. My SSD is only 4Gb, but I have a 16GB SD card. So the SSD is setup for /boot with 300Mb, swap with 1.6Gb and the rest is /var. The SD is / The challenge with the install is the small screen size. I complained about this and submitted a bug on it with f14 (which was the only install I have made on this ee701). Apparently the developers did not feel it necessary to do anything about adjusting the dialog sizes to the actual screen size. For the most part I was able to guess what keys to hit for the buttons cut off below the bottom of the screen. I could not see how to setup a LVM on the SD, so it is just and ext4 partition. Also I could not go into customizing the packages for the install and although I did provide my local repos so I grabbed all the updates right off, I had to just go with the standard graphic desktop package install.... Next I will have to do the gnome 3 customizations. Though I MIGHT just leave it for the defaults for a while, rather than all the customzations I did for this f16 notebook a year ago. I actually would like to wait for f18 for upgrading my main notebook; I kind of like skipping releases... Anyway. so far so good.

Hi, I need help. I have just installed Fedora 17 from the DVD. I used text mode installation and later converted to GUI mode using yum groupinstall "X Window System" Desktop and configuring systemd. Please refer to the image below. The GUI cannot display English characters. All I get are square boxes. http://i.imgur.com/sKUrl.png Thank you very much. -- Yours sincerely, Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Singapore

Dynamode PCI serial card into Fedora 17 system
by Gary Stainburn 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

My system already had one serial port, ttyS0 which is working. I've installed a Dynamode 2-port serial card and the kernel sees the two ports. This provides two ports is: PCI Spec Revision 2 compliant Compatible with 16C550 UART and says that it supports Linux. However, I can't use them. I've tried using both minicom and faxxaddmodem (I'm setting up a Hylafax modem bank). Can anyone suggest what I need to do please.

Hi, i discovered that i can use fedora 17 on my old laptop IBM T42. i works great but my wireless adapter doesn't work. i found several websites (e.g.: http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml) where some steps are written how to make it works...however in my case, i have some errors with make ieee80211-1.2.18. here is the error: /root/ieee80211-1.2.18/ieee80211_module.c:148.5: error: 'struct net_device" has no member named 'hard_start_xmit' is there someone who already had such issue or did this step ? thx.

Loving Fedora 17 so far!
by Richard Shaw 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

Not a lot of visual differences although I like the new wallpaper, but I liked the 16 wallpaper too. One BIG nit for me was with CD/DVD burning. It would calculate the checksum, burn, check the disc, but then it would give an error saying it couldn't eject the disc, but the button worked and good 'ole eject /dev/sr0 worked as well. This has been a problem since F15 but it seems to have finally been fixed. Thanks for a great release! Richard

Newbie setup issues - Hylafax 6.0.6.tar.gz on Fedora 17
by Gary Stainburn 31 Oct '12

31 Oct '12

This is my first attempt at installing Hylafax. I have managed to install 6.0.6 from the tarball onto a brand new F17 system. I am wanting to use this as an automated fax receive and forward system so I haven't looked at the sending side of the system yet. I'm also new to systemd having being used to old init based systems. So far I have two problems. 1) Through googling I have managed to get faxgetty running and can receive faxes if I first start the system by issuing the command systemctl start faxgetty-ttyS0.service However, if I reboot the services doesn't start automatically. The systemd config file I've copied from the net and changed appropriately is: [root@stan2 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/faxgetty-ttyS0.service Unit] Description=FaxGetty Start Modem ttyS0 [Service] Type=simple User=root Group=root Restart=always ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0 RestartSec=30 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target [root@stan2 ~]# ll /etc/systemd/system/default.target lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Oct 29 16:07 /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target [root@stan2 ~]# Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get it to run on startup please. 2) received TIF image is squashed vertically The resulting TIF file looks correct except that it is squashed vertically, to about half the height it should be. I have googled this and have found a number of results where it says the problem is down to flow control and give the resulting log entries. However I do not have any errors in the log file. Oct 30 09:54:05 stan2 FaxGetty[1108]: ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION DEVICE '/dev/ttyS0' Oct 30 09:54:47 stan2 FaxGetty[1108]: RECV FAX (000000004): from 01132792564, page 1 in 0:00:37, INF, 3.85 line/mm, 1-D MH, 14400 bit/s Oct 30 09:54:47 stan2 FaxGetty[1108]: RECV FAX (000000004): recvq/fax000000004.tif from 01132792564, route to <unspecified>, 1 pages in 0:00:42 Oct 30 09:54:47 stan2 FaxGetty[1108]: RECV FAX: bin/faxrcvd "recvq/fax000000004.tif" "ttyS0" "000000004" "" Oct 30 09:55:00 stan2 FaxGetty[1108]: MODEM USR U.S. Robotics 56K FAX EXT Rev. 11.16.63/Configuration Profile... Any suggestions on how to fix this? Cheers Gary

Any Perl Soap::lite users in the crowd?
by Jack Craig 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

Hi Folks, IN an effort to get some soap experience, i pulled Soap::lite and have been playing around with it calling into NOAA. Sadly, its not working well and I dont see updates since 2001. Not working is defined as variable loading errors. I set $product, but the outbound request isnt including it! :( This appears to be an abandoned project. Any of you using this perl/soap code? Code listing below for the curious, tia, ... # Set up the input required by the NDFD web service # $latitude = 36.981; $longitude = -121.874; *$product = "time-series";* $startTime = ""; $endTime = ""; $Unit = "e"; # # Use SOAP::Lite to retrieve the NDFD XML data # We use the web service's WSDL as input into creating the SOAP message # We call the exposed function NDFDgen using SOAP::Data to ensure SOAP::Lite # gets the types correct # The XML returned by the web service is saved as a string in $NDFD_XML for later # parsing # $NDFD_XML = SOAP::Lite ->service(' http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl') ->NDFDgen(SOAP::Data->name("latitude" => $latitude), SOAP::Data->name("longitude" => $longitude), * SOAP::Data->name("product" => $product),* SOAP::Data->name("startTime" => $startTime), SOAP::Data->name("endTime" => $endTime), SOAP::Data->name("Unit" => $Unit), SOAP::Data->name("weatherParameters" => \SOAP::Data->value(SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("maxt" => 1), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("mint" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("temp" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("dew" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("pop12" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("qpf" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("sky" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("snow" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("wspd" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("wdir" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("ws" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("waveh" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("icons" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("rh" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("appt" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("incw34" => 0), SOAP::Data->type('boolean')->name("incw50" => 0),
