hald hitting ACPI files in fc4t1
by Pete Zaitcev 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

Hello: I installed fc4t1 and noticed that totem's video stutters quite a bit. Sometimes the keyboard input in gnome-terminal feels lagging, too. It turned out that hald was causing it. Running strace on it showed nothing more than periodic access of ACPI files in /proc. My hypothesis is that these accesses cause AML interpreter to work. I have two questions. Is this something new or interesting (e.g. do you want a bug)? And, can something be done about it (can it be made to poll once a minute or so)? Greetings, -- Pete

Kickstart Install Not Contacting NFS Server
by Keith Abino 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

I'm trying to do a kickstart install with the kickstart file in initrd.img and the install media on an NFS server on the same subnet. The kickstart installation bails and dumps me to an interactive installation with the message "directory could not be mounted from server". If running a tcpdump on the NFS server I can confirm that no traffic has come from the kickstarted client to the NFS server. However, when I'm dumped back into interactive mode if I just hit ok with the NFS server info and directory (the information that come from my kickstart file) the directory mounts flawlessly and I can proceed with an interactive install. Have any of you experienced this and know what the issue might be? --

FC4 perl module upgrades/cleanups
by Warren Togami 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Right now I'm looking at cleaning up and upgrading all perl modules in FC4. The specs of many of the perl modules have ancient crap that should be cleaned up and modernized. Among the stuff I want to do: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2005-March/msg00095.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2005-March/msg00096.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2005-March/msg00097.html * Remove brp-compress calls from all packages, as it isn't doing anything useful. (Right?) * Update URL and Source0 to actual modern CPAN addresses. * Clear out most of the trival to minor perl-* FC bugs, which are mainly "upgrade this" and "fix the spec". * Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`"; echo $version)) Do we want this in all perl packages, both regular arch and noarch? * %define _use_internal_dependency_generator 0 Many of the ancient specs have this. Might be nice to get rid of it, but it will require some careful verification comparing the before and after in order to be sure the rpm-auto-dep isn't demanding bad dependencies like Win32 crap. Is this worth doing? Need your opinions. * Identify all modules that have a newer version available in CPAN. Would be nice if we had a script to compare a devel CVS checkout to CPAN and output a list with URLs or something. Contributors like Ville, Robert and Jose have been very helpful in submitting good spec rewrites for perl packages in the past. So I hope the community can help with cleaned up spec unidiffs (along with version upgrades) to be submitted to Bugzilla, one report per package. Perhaps discuss here who will do which package. I'll do some myself. Thoughts? Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

kernel source code
by not disclosed 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Dear All, RE: In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a separate package for the kernel source code when that source code already exists in the kernel's .src.rpm file, Fedora Core 3 no longer includes the kernel-source package. - http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc3/x86/ I think this is a big mistake - kernel-source didn't harm anyone and removing it hugely increases the amount of hassle involved in any kernel upgrade. You have to accept that fedora users will be using stuff that lies outside the fedora world of nicely packaged programs and this means that users need the source code. The hassle involved with this elimination of the kernel source code package is irritating enough for us to consider using another distro when we come to change from FC2. Please put the kernel sourcecode back. Cheers, SA _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
