no sound after yum update of working FC16
by dave perry 04 Mar '12

04 Mar '12

This evening I did a "sudo yum update" which included a new kernel and kernel headers. So I reinstalled the Nvidia proprietary driver (290.10), rebooted and now I have no sound. /var/log/yum.log shows the following record of this evening's update: Mar 03 21:12:39 Updated: libpinyin-0.5.91-3.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:41 Updated: libpinyin-data-0.5.91-3.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:41 Updated: openssh-5.8p2-25.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:42 Updated: openssh-clients-5.8p2-25.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:43 Updated: openssh-server-5.8p2-25.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:44 Updated: ibus-pinyin-1.4.0-12.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:44 Updated: ql2400-firmware-5.06.05-1.fc16.noarch Mar 03 21:12:46 Updated: tracker-0.12.10-1.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:47 Updated: kernel-headers-3.2.7-1.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:12:48 Updated: ql2500-firmware-5.06.05-1.fc16.noarch Mar 03 21:12:51 Updated: ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase-1.4.0-12.fc16.noarch Mar 03 21:12:52 Updated: fetchmail-6.3.21-1.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:13:02 Installed: kernel-devel-3.2.7-1.fc16.x86_64 Mar 03 21:13:08 Installed: kernel-3.2.7-1.fc16.x86_64 I tried booting the prior kernel (3.2.6-3) and now I get no sound with that kernel.

I'm pretty sure a clean install from the Live DVD (I've read that there were problems with the Live CD with 16) would be feasible & not too painful but I think I'll put if on the back burner for a while & see if anything occurs that warrants an update. Also many apologies for the formatting of this email. Replying from digest mode is horrible & between them Thunderbird & the mailing list software mangle stuff.

Disk Druid and RAID 10 Partitions
by Aero Maxx D 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

If I am using a raid 10 setup on 4 Hard Drives, would I make a raid partition of 250MB on each of the 4 drives as in total this would be 500MB, or would I still make a 500MB raid partition, same for swap still make a 4992MB partition or halve it and spread it over the 4 drives ? Below is how Disk Druid sets up the partitions itself when using only 1 drive. VolGroup 1144192 lv_root 51200 / ext4 lv_home 229472 /home ext4 lv_swap 4992 swap sda sda1 1 BIOS Boot sda2 500 /boot ext4 sda3 285686 VolGroup physical volume (LVM) Thanks Daniel

Support for RFC 6187 and smartcard authentication in OpenSSH

Hi Anthony , Thanks for your responses. I have initiated a new thread. Can you provide me with further details. Thanks, Anamitra Hello Anamitra, I suggest you start a new thread on the list but, yes, there is smart card authentication support in Fedora using opensc. It's been in Fedora for a while.

Can't access DVD -
by Bob Goodwin 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

I suppose I should know by know but ... Do I need an entry in /etc/fstab for an optical disk drive? If so what should it be? I viewed some lectures on line, bought the download actually but decided would eat up more of my bandwidth allotment for the month than I could afford and had them send me some DVD's instead. Then to my surprise my F-16/64 installations wont play them although they looked fine from the download site. When I put a "movie" dvd in the drive an icon pops up normally but ls /media appears to be empty: [bobg@box6 ~]$ ll /media total 0 Should I not see something like /media/cdrom ? The disk I am testing with has always worked on earlier Fedora's. Admittedly I rarely do anything with dvd's but when I have needed to I have been able to play and record, in most cases data. Now as far as VLC and Parole it is like there's no drive installed? I need help troubleshooting. Thanks, Bob

During some CD operations Fedora freezes for some seconds
by Joachim Backes 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

Hi, having a weird effect (in F16, [F17 too]): during some CD operations, ejecting for example, or clicking on the CD symbol by nautilus if a new CD is inserted in the drive, my system freezes, so my desktop is insensitive for some seconds. Somebody sees this too, and how to get rid from this effect? All answers are welcome. Kind regards -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

Kernel Panic is making me panic
by Arthur Dent 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hello all, On Feb 29 my Fedora 16 box updated itself (I'm not wild about the only options being completely manual update or completely automatic update - but that's another story). It must have updated the Kernel because the next day when I turned on the PC I had a kernel panic (details below) and the machine failed to boot. I had a zero timeout on grub so this meant that I had to use a Mint liveCD to edit grub so that I could try booting with the previous kernel. The fact that I am able to write this shows that the previous kernel on the very same machine boots without problem. This is the "previous" working kernel: $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.2.6-3.fc16.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Feb 13 20:44:23 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The kernel that is failing is 3.2.7-1.fc16.i686.PAE Below I have tried to type as accurately as possible the kernel panic message that I get when I try to boot into the new kernel (note It's typed manually - NOT copied and pasted - so i might have made the odd typo). What should I do? I can think of no obvious hardware problem given the fact this the machine boots happily with the previous kernel... Thanks in advance...

Re: recommend some info on hot to upgrade from F15 to F16 using preupgrade
by Birger Monsen 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

usually it's as simple as running updatedb, then locate .rpmnew and fixing up any config file changes that didn't get applied automatically. then run preupgrade, and once the system is up repeat the same procedure to find new .rpmnew files. when a package being updated discovers that some file from the already installed version has been changed, the new file is named with a .rpmnew suffix instead of overwriting your edits. this means that file doesn't get updated until you merge it with your changes manually. when upgrading to a new release it is important to do this merge both before and after since some config files could have changed enough that some service stops working. birger Martín Marqués <martin.marques(a)gmail.com>: >That's all I want (what's in the subject). > >I've had some headaches with preupgrade, basically, I guess, because I >have /var on another partition. > >-- >Martín Marqués >select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' >DBA, Programador, Administrador >-- >users mailing list >users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org >To unsubscribe or change subscription options: >https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users >Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines >Have a question?
