But package sim, also listed here, probably failed due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487104, as Mamoru Tasaka mentioned before. As I think it is not related to mass rebuilt at all.

mass rebuild observations
by darrell pfeifer 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

I just upgraded from koji after the mass rebuild. Note that I had an up-to-date rawhide from this morning just before the upgrade. There are a couple of obvious problems, at least for me. Buttons in firefox/minefield are huge to the point where all web pages are unreadable. I backed out the xulrunner and gtk2, also tried changing gnome default themes/icons with no success. All gnome terminal text (both typed and prompt) has a red background. The settings in the terminal profiles don't help to fix it. I looked in the bash man page but so far haven't found a setting that might fix it there. darrell

Self-Introduction: Philippe Moret

Hi, My name is Philippe Moret I'm living in Lugano, in the italian part of Switzerland. I'm also sometimes in the french part during the week-ends. I'm currently a second year PhD student in computer science at the University of Lugano. Your goals in the Fedora Project Well, I'd like to help the open source community by contributing to a project, even if I don't know how much time I'll be able to spend for this ;-) Which packages do you want to see published? I noticed that Amaya was not anymore maintained and with a friend who's already involved in the project (Thibault North) I've tried to package the new version, this will probably be my first contribution. Otherwise I'm intersted in Java in general and I will probably help with java-related packages. I have also an interest in photography, so related software would also interest me. And hopefully I will be able to release part of my research work as a free software :D ... Historical qualifications MSc in CS, on my way to have a PhD... What other projects have you worked on in the past? Nothing serious, a few toy-projects... What computer languages and other skills do you know? I'm more at ease with Java, a bit of C, sh and Perl for the everyday needs, a little bit of LISP... Why should we trust you? Why not ? pub 1024D/86B5069E 2006-01-09 [expires: 2011-01-08] Key fingerprint = BCDA 4F4B D2FB D8A0 C75B 24DB A73E E73A 86B5 069E uid Philippe Moret <philippe.moret(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/CEB904B8 2006-01-09 [expires: 2011-01-08] I will just need a sponsor to set up my Fedora Account by signing the CLA and all that. Cheers, Philippe Moret

ularn rebuild failure
by Michael Thomas 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

This one has me stumped: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1180936&name=build.log I get the same error when I build locally with mock. However, if I go into the buildroot, I can see that the config.h.SH file is there. Inserting 'ls -l config.h.SH' into %build also shows that the file is there. If I chroot into the mock buildroot and run '. config.h.SH', it works. This same package built fine for F10. Any ideas what's causing this odd behavior? --Wart

Help me use 'intel' over 'nvidia'
by Rodd Clarkson 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi All I'm setting up a mythtv box and I recently had the opportunity to update my motherboard. I had been using a board with added nvidia 9x00 graphics card and it was working well except that the fan on the graphics card was noisy. I did some research with regards to a new card to get, keen to get a card with reasonable on board graphics that would handle big lcd displays and also with hdmi and digital/coax outputs. In the end I had the choise of two boards. One with an intel graphics chipset (x4500) and one with an nivida chipset (7100) and given to ongoing conversation on this list about using vendors that support open source drivers I decided to go with the intel board. (I'd done some other research that suggested that the graphics device was supported including Intels website and fedora documentation (clearly not the right fedora documentation)). You can imagine my disappointment when I couldn't even get X running on the new board with the intel drivers (I've tried 'i810' and 'intel', that later of which seems to be much more likely to actually work.) So, I've got two choices. 1. Give up and put the nvidia graphics card on the board. This has a number of downfalls. It brings the noisy fan back into play. It also sees me without hdmi. But, the nvidia driver works well with this card, so at least I get decent graphics. 2. Find out what's up with the 'intel' card and get it working. Sadly, I'm not skilled in these areas (even though I've been testing fedora since fc1) and need help. I've asked twice (once on f-d-l and once on f-t-l) and both times my emails have been ignored. I've also posted a detailed bug on bugzilla (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487619) but haven't had any response yet. I won't attach any log files or other info as it's all in the bug report and it would just be excess traffic on the list. Can someone help? regards Rodd -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith. It's much better on my side"
