Slow connections with last two glibc versions in F16
by Trever L. Adams 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

I am wondering if anyone else is seeing this: My setup is mail servers are F16 vms hostest on F16. My router has tproxy with squid on F16, many clients are on F16. File servers are Samba4 on F16. I am not sure which of the last two glibc versions is the culprit (although I am leaning toward the last). However, since one of them, connections to my mail servers hang for a bit. It takes a while for git to connect to remote git trees (not just gitweb, but git as well). All web connections hang for up to 30 seconds when starting the connection. Once connected everything goes fine. It isn't DNS, as tcpdump shows it happening at normal speed/places (or it seems so). Squid was updated, but the problem showed up as soon as the new glibc was allowed to work (restarting daemons) and isn't limited to just http traffic. Am I alone in this? Thank you, Trever -- "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that enough good men do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

xfce and slow workspace switching; how to fix?
by stan 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

I've been using the Gnome fallback mode in F15 x86_64; old hardware and preference. However it seems to not agree with my crt monitor, and has been lately causing the monitor to go blank on context switches between console and X. The only solution has been to turn it off and wait for a while. I thought it was hardware failure, but I've been testing xfce and it doesn't seem to cause this problem. But the switch between workspaces is taking 5 to 10 seconds in some cases, and never less than 2 to 3 seconds. In Gnome fallback, switches of workspace are basically instantaneous. Since I use workspaces to group and organize usage, the slow switch is a real annoyance. I have found no web noise about this problem, so I assume is is only me and there is some setting that is causing this. But I can't find anything. Does anyone have a suggestion of what might be causing this slow workspace switching in xfce and how to fix it?

Permissions, F-16 -
by Bob Goodwin 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Would someone explain the meaning of the permissions in the last line below, especially the "+" ? [root@box6 bobg]# ll /dev/bus/usb/001 total 0 crw-rw-r--. 1 root root 189, 0 Feb 28 03:08 001 crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 2 Feb 28 03:08 003 I understand read, write, and execute, and generally set them with the values of 4, 2, and 1, but the --. and the --+ don't seem to be covered in anything I've "googled." "d" for directory, but "c" ? Thanks, Bob

17 Alpha cannot mount partition during install.
by Zoltan Szecsei 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi, Just trying out the new i386 Alpha. I have now tried several different HDs, doing a full install (repartitioning the entire HD) and once all the partitions have been formatted, the install process crashes every time whilst trying to mount /home. Any ideas what else I can try to get around this? Using an ASUS P8P67 Pro M/B with i7 2600K cpu, plus 2 * nVidia ENGTS430 VGA cards, plus 2 * Logitech cordless desktops (Kyb/Mouse) in order to create a 2 seat multiseat system.

pidgin plugins rpm
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi all, Moving from Ubuntu to Fedora 16, I lost the twitter and identica pidgin plugin. I see that other rpm based distributions have pidgin plugins pckaged: http://ivanz.com/2007/05/06/pidgin-plugins-opensuse-rpms/ http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17235890/dir/mandriva_2010/com/… Would you now some Fedora rpm or src.rpms? -- RMA.

when "yum distro-sync" downgrades a package, it says "Installing", not "Downgrading"
by Andre Robatino 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

When yum distro-sync updates some packages and downgrades others, during the transaction it says "Updating :" for the updated packages, but "Installing :" for the downgraded ones. Is there a reason for that? I would only expect to see "Installing :" for a newly installed package. (I considered posting this on the test list, since distro-sync is more commonly used there, but it's not exclusive to test releases.)
