Newbie question abt network install
by William Oliver 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Sorry if this is the wrong forum -- if it is, please direct me to the right one. I rent a virtual personal server in another city that runs Fedora 16. I want to upgrade it to 17. I did the yum-based preupgrade and such, but am stuck. The instructions I read said to reboot and then choose upgrade at the boot screen. Since this is a network machine that has no boot screen, I need to tell the box to upgrade in some other way. Is there a way to to a yum upgrade over the network without seeing a boot screen? Thanks! billo

Games on Linux
by Junayeed Ahnaf 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Many people say that the biggest holdup in Linux gaming is graphics system. But if there are plethora of games for OS X (which is UNIX and uses Open GL) then why there just isn't enough games for Linux? Sound? Different DE? Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor

logrotate/logwatch error on fc15
by Alex 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hi, I have an fc15 box and I'm having a problem with logwatch. I'm using bzip2 for the compresscmd for logrotate, yet it somehow is giving the compressed files a gz instead of bz2 extension. Logwatch uses this to determine which command to use to read the compressed files, so it therefore is using the wrong command. However, the files seem to be begin rotated. I hoped someone could help clarify what's going on. I have the following in /etc/logrotate.conf: # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2 compress Here's a list of the freshclam files that are being compressed and rotated: # ls -l /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log* -rw-rw---- 1 clamupdate amavis 6775 Oct 21 17:47 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log -rw-rw---- 1 clamupdate amavis 939 Oct 11 23:47 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log-20121012.gz -rw-rw---- 1 clamupdate amavis 916 Oct 12 23:46 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log-20121013.gz -rw-rw---- 1 clamupdate amavis 855 Oct 13 23:46 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log-20121014.gz Running 'file' on the compressed files says they are bzip2 files. Here's the contents of the error message I receive from logwatch in an email every day from cron.daily: /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch: gzip: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log-20121019.gz: not in gzip format system 'zcat '/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log-20121019.gz' >> /var/cache/logwatch/logwatch.zOSnHbtE/clam-update-archive' failed: 256 at /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch line 764. Why are the files being compressed and named with the wrong extension? Thanks, Alex

Segmentation fault in wireshark
by Andrea 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi, my wireshark in Fedora 17 fully updated started to seg fault today. I am sure last week it was working, but I cannot see anything interesting in the list of updates via yum. Stack trace is only partial, but before I start debugging I wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue. It dies during: Registering Python dissectors Starting program: /usr/sbin/wireshark [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Chrome + nVidia insta crash
by Trutwin, Joshua 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi, I have a problem on my current systems running Fedora 17 x86_64 where the latest release of google-chrome-stable (google-chrome-stable-22.0.1229.94-161065.x86_64) crashes X and logs the user out. This used to happen on previous versions sporadically on flash sites due to Chrome's built in pepper flash player and the NSAPI one installed for firefox being both recognized and enabled, but now it's completely unusable so I'm reverting to an older version. Trying to isolate this I discovered that if I pulled my nVidia cards that we use and use the onboard video it doesn't crash. I also applied all available yum patches including kernel/nv driver but still happens. My questions: 1. Anyone else having similar problems? 2. If I file a bug on Fedora's bugzilla for this will it even see any attention since chrome/nVidia are not officially supported? Thanks, Josh

problem with bbswitch module on reboot
by Alexander Volovics 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

I am using the 'bbswitch' module to disable the nvidia card and save power on a laptop with optimus. I removed nouveau permanently by blacklisting and then running dracut. I compiled bbswitch with 'dkms' and then added the following: #!/bin/sh if [ ! -c /proc/acpi/bbswitch ] ; then exec /sbin/modprobe bbswitch load_state=0 >/dev/null 2>&1 fi to /etc/sysconfig/modules. This works perfectly if the laptop is started up after powering off ('power off' from the menu or 'shutdown -h now') However when I 'restart' (from the menu or 'shutdown -r now') this does not work: 'bbswitch' can't find the discrete VGA device! And consequently it is not loaded. Can somebody explain what is happening. For 'bbswitch' info see: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch AV

Unsupported Hardware with 3.6.2-1.fc16.x86_64 on FC 16
by Gregory P. Ennis 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Everyone, With the update of the new kernel 3.6.2-1.fc16.x86_64 on FC16 I am getting a new message on the lower right hand corner of my desktop that is about an 1 inch by 1 inch in size telling me that there is "Unsupported Hardware" present. The title in this box appears to be "AMD" with an blocked arrow pointing up and to the right. I am using an HP Pavilion g7-1117cl Notebook. Also with this new kernel it appears that "kernel-tools-devel" appears broken. "Error: Protected multilib versions: kernel-tools-3.1.0-7.fc16.i686 != kernel-tools-3.6.2-1.fc16.x86_64" Anyone have any ideas??? Greg Ennis
