F19: rendering blender images
by Hiisi 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, list! Having problem rendering images in blender on F19 desktop. Following the tutorial [1] I'm trying to achieve this: http://www.blenderguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/71-withambient-540x33… But got only this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/541/pfl1.jpg/ Whatever I render I get the same result - ugly pictures. Is there something wrong with fedora blender build? How do I fix it? System information: $ rpm -q blender blender-2.68a-5.fc19.x86_64 $ uname -r 3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64 TIA REFERENCES: 1. http://www.blenderguru.com/create-a-shiny-new-wallpaper/ -- Hiisi.

F18: Bind-chroot & Dovecot mount errors, how to fix?
by Dan Thurman 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

I at one time installed bind with chroot but decided to remove the bind-chroot package but it did not clean up and remove chroot mounts so I manually removed the chroot mounts, reconfgured bind, restarted named, with no apparent errors. But now, dovecot complains in maillog, the following errors: dovecot: master: Warning: /var/named/chroot/etc/named.root.key is no longer mounted. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints dovecot: master: Warning: /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf is no longer mounted. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints dovecot: master: Warning: /var/named/chroot/etc/named.rfc1912.zones is no longer mounted. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints dovecot: master: Warning: /var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.key is no longer mounted. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints dovecot: master: Warning: /var/named/chroot/usr/lib/bind is no longer mounted. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints dovecot: master: Warning: /var/named/chroot/etc/named.iscdlv.key is no longer mounted. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints dovecot: master: Warning: /var/named/chroot/var/named is no longer mounted. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Mountpoints I tried some of the examples pointed out in wiki2 but I am unable to remove the warnings... What do I need to do?

FC19, 3.11.6-200, and ATI video
by mark 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

I've just updated a user's FC19 box to the latest. No X. Period. I can use xinit to get a window, but no fonts at all. Startx from init 3 gives me a black screen. When I look at Xorg.0.log, no matter if I have the radeon driver blacklisted or not, whatever driver it uses is not for this kernel. The proprietary one fails to build - as a start, it's still using create_proc_entry. The box has a FirePro 2260. What can I do to get my user up and running, other than, say, installing CentOS...? mark -- grub2 MUST DIE!!!

It is worse than that. It apparently doesn't store the ignored info anywhere, because if a mountpoint appears again then disappears again, it will warn you again no matter what you might have told it previously. This appears to be another case of butt-headed developers since lots of users have asked for a way to eradicate this "feature" but the requests are always rejected as "user is wrong".

X-Server fails to start
by Klaus-Peter Schrage 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Every once and a while, say in 5 out of 10 boot events, the boot process stalls and ends up in a text console (kernel 3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64, KDE 4.11.2-1, NVIDIA graphics card with nouveau driver): [snip] Starting The KDE login manager...

Closing log file. [/snip] I can get to another text console, but doing 'startx' only gives me a very rudimentary graphical desktop, not KDE. I have searched bugzilla for the term 'Failed to start Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit' with no results, and even googling didn't produce anything to help me further. Any help of the wise people on this list would be greatly appreciated. KP

Got myself in a bind
by Paolo Galtieri 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

I'm running F19 with all the latest updates. I did something as a normal user that has made my system unusable. I'm running the mate desktop and here are the issues I'm having: 1) No applets in the notification area except the date/time applet. 2) Only one of 2 Ethernet interfaces comes up. Even after rebooting. 3) The only desktop I can use is Mate, there is no option for me to choose something else. 4) Why is one network interface labeled em1 and the other enp4s4? What I did that may have caused the problem is to change the name of the network interface as shown in nm-applet. nm-applet showed the name as enp4s4 while ifconfig showed it as p5p1. After I did this I could no longer get that interface to start. I tried deleting the interface and adding it back in and I still could not get the interface to come up. In fact at some point in time after stopping and restarting Network Manager the p5p1 interface no longer showed up in nm-applet. Finally I killed nm-applet assuming it would restart, but nothing happened. I tried to add the notification area back in, but this doesn't work. I can click on add to panel and select the notification area and click on add, but nothing happens. I even tried logging in as a different user and there was no nm-applet in the notification area. Running ps showed nm-applet to be running as the user id I was logged in as, but it didn't show up in the notification area. So how the F*** do I get the notification area restored? and how the F*** do I get Network Manager to see and configure both network interfaces? Of course I can re-install F19 and re-download all the updates, but I hope there is a better way than that. Paolo

Bit of a problem
by Roger 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

I have a HD with 2 partitions. Ubuntu 13.04 on one, primary boot is through ubuntu grub and Fedora 19 on partition 2 which I use all the time. Ubuntu13.04 ran into a problem yesterday during software update, it lost the internet connection and errors out with a dialog to say internet connection is lost. I tried it again this morning with same result after checking the internet and ensuring connection with fedora and ubuntu on eth0. I do not understand why ubuntu loses internet during update when it can download files and emails ok. Ubutnu 13.04 has problem for me, I have run all the cleanups and tests and run only the minimum of apps and there are no errors reported, but it takes >30 seconds to start a terminal and another 50 seconds before the prompt appears. Because Fedora 19 is booted from the ubuntu grub partition I am reluctant to reinstall a fresh ubuntu because if it trashes Fedora I have major hassles re installing Rails and Drupal which are day projects on both linuxes. Is there any way I can change the boot to Fedora? I am seriously considering reverting ubuntu to 12LTS which my daughters run without a problem. Will it be safe as in not trashing Fedora to do a fresh U-LTS install, are there any gotchas I need to be aware of? Does anyone else experience difficulties with Ubuntu 13.04? Help very much appreciated thanks in advance Roger

fedora19 cups 1.6.4 released Oct 11 broke printer
by Nate Pearlstein 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

I print from Mac OS 10.8.x to a Fedora 19 print server using hplip and the latest cups upgrades broke printing. The output is severely stretched and large and some pictures are black. Reverting to cups 1.6.2 using: yum downgrade cups cups-filesystem cups-lpd cups-libs cups-ipptool cups-devel fixed the problem. I would have gone back to the previous release cups 1.6.3 but yum downgrade seems to have picked the base fedora 19 cups not a previous update. I'm assuming the change here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010580 caused it. if I knew what info should be collected I'd file a bug. -- Nate Pearlstein - npearl(a)sgi.com - Product Support Engineer
