unusable encrypted volume on a live USB
by Joel Rees 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

This was my second try at a live USB, and I decided to experiment with an encrypted volume for /home. Used a bunch of leetsp3@k substitutions without thinking about the keyboard, so I can't mount the partition on boot. So, I'm wondering how hard it would be to reclaim the part of the flash disk being used for the encrypted volume, or whether it might just be easier to wipe the live image and start over. Can someone point me to the stuff the live images use to put encrypted volumes on these FAT disks? I tend to get lost in all the interesting side paths when I dig into the wiki without guidance. -- Joel Rees

kde slow to start after a crash
by Walter Cazzola 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Dear Linuxers, I've a quite frustrating problem, yesterday trying to send a file via Skype this crashed and my linux-box became unresponsive. After rebooting KDE started really very slowly (it is taking more or less 20 minutes to be fully loaded and responsive) and this happens at every reboot (and since this is a laptop it is quite frequent). And also once started many applications (e.g., korganizer, klipper) are still unresponsive and theirs menu take long time to appear. I got the same problem with the same causes one year ago and at that time I have solved reinstalling all the whole system but at the time was a quite new installation and it was inexpensive to do that but now I'd prefer to avoid. I have already tried to remove the cache and lock files but it didn't work. Any idea about how to solve the issue? If you address me I can provide log files as well. My system is FC13 up to date with KDE 4.5.3, nvidia card and kernel 2.6.34.7-63. I can provide any piece of log if you address me to what to look for. I know it is quite old but it works for my needs and it took so long to be fine tuned that I don't like the idea to start again. Thanks for the help Walter --

Dongle dosen't talk
by Geoffrey Leach 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

A small problem, but nevertheless. I have a new Netgear N150, which is a wirelless USB adapter. After the system (Fedora 16) returns from hibernation the N150 connects to the wireless router (also Netgear) as evidenced by the fact that ifconfig shows the correct (static) IP address. However it does not talk to another system (also Fedora 16) connected to the router (hardwired). If I unplug and replug the N150, it connects correctly and all is well. FWIW, the wireless dongle previously in use for this purpose did not show this behavior. Any ideas?

Bluetooth Failure Causing Sound Problem?
by Richard Heck 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

In an earlier message, I mentioned that some update or other seems to have broken my ability to load pulseaudio, though it will eventually load. I get this error: /home/rgheck/ > pulseaudio E: module-udev-detect.c: inotify_init1() failed: Too many open files E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-udev-detect" (argument: ""): initialization failed. E: main.c: Module load failed. E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. and similarly in the logs. Eventually, the pulseaudio driver does load, however, and when it does, it seems that What I've noticed now, however, is that I'm seeing messages like this: Feb 24 17:34:15 rghquad dbus[1046]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.bluez' unit='dbus-org.bluez.service' Feb 24 17:34:15 rghquad dbus-daemon[1046]: dbus[1046]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.bluez' unit='dbus-org.bluez.service' Feb 24 17:34:15 rghquad dbus[1046]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.bluez.service': Unit dbus-org.bluez.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status dbus-org.bluez.service' for details. Feb 24 17:34:15 rghquad dbus-daemon[1046]: dbus[1046]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.bluez.service': Unit dbus-org.bluez.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status dbus-org.bluez.service' for details. Feb 24 17:34:15 rghquad pulseaudio[3459]: bluetooth-util.c: Error from ListAdapters reply: org.freedesktop.systemd1.LoadFailed This last is actually a sign of a successful load of the pulseaudio driver. So it looks as if, perhaps, the real problem has to do with bluetooth. I'm going to try removing the bluetooth module from pulseaudio and see if that helps.... Richard

Fedora 16 kernel panic
by Brian Johnson 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hello Fedora Users list! I sent this recently to our local LUG list, but no one was able to help. I looked to see if this has been talked about and as far as I know, it hasn't (outside of something similar with Fedora 15, but it seemed the solution there was incomplete). I have 3 kernels installed on my Fedora 16 laptop -- kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16.i686, kernel-3.2.5-3.fc16.i686 and kernel-3.2.6-3.fc16.i686. When I try to boot 3.2.5-3 or 3.2.6-3, I get a kernel panic message with the message "initramfs unpacking failed uncompression error" followed by "not syncing, no init found". Both of these were installed via normal yum updating; nothing out of the ordinary for them. In the beginning, booting into the oldest one, 3.2.2-1 has no problems, fortunately. Haven't seen anything helpful mentioned on the Interwebz about such an error, was wondering if anyone had seen something similar. Just to be sure, I removed the 2 newer kernels and then did a "yum install kernel" to see if something was corrupted the first time, but I'm still getting the same results. The last time I reboot, *all* of the kernels would give the error message. I was able to first boot into single-user and then, when exiting, it boot properly. I just installed the latest kernel update and (3.2.7.x) and getting the same thing. Thanks! Brian
