yum/cpio problem
by John W. Himpel 13 May '08

13 May '08

Good afternoon, I have a G3 iMac running Fedora 8. After a fresh install, I am using yum to update my system with the standard Fedora repositories. When I enter "yum update yum", I get the following error: Error unpacking rpm package yum - 3.2.8-2.fc8.noarch Error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/yum-cli/yumupd.pyc: cpio: link updated: yum.noarch.0:3.2.8-2.fc8 So I performed a "yum update cpio" which completed successfully. But "yum update yum" still fails for the same reason. Other packages such as openoffice.org-core fail for the same reason as well. Any ideas? Thanks. John

Xorg crash on iBook Clamshell G3 and workaround
by Joseph Adams 06 May '08

06 May '08

On my iBook Clamshell (G3, ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)), I couldn't use the ati driver with Fedora 9 because, as Xorg.0.log says, it can't open the frame buffer device. I successfully used the fbdev driver, but it's not accelerated. I later found a workaround to enable acceleration: Make sure the Device section has at least these: Driver "ati" #the above can also be Driver "r128" Option "UseFBDev" "false" Make sure the Screen section includes this: Option "NoInt10" "true" The problems are, (1) the ATI driver can't find the frame buffer device, even though the Xorg "fbdev" driver works fine. (2) The int10 module crashes if Option "UseFBDev" "false" is set. However, disabling int10 fixes the problem. (I guess int10 detection is unnecessary for iBook, but it should still work). My xorg.conf now says this: # Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection #Section "Extensions" # #EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us+inet" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "ati" Option "UseFBDev" "false" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Option "NoInt10" "true" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 # Modes "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection I ran glxgears, and it ran for a little while until (3) it locked and I had to kill glxgears through ssh. I ran it again, but did not encounter the same problem the second time. Has anyone else encountered video regressions on the iBook from F8 to F9? The most important issues, as I numbered out above, are: (1) The ATI driver can't find the frame buffer device, even though the Xorg "fbdev" driver works fine. (2) The int10 module crashes if Option "UseFBDev" "false" is set. Even if int10 isn't needed, it should still not crash. (3) More sporadic lockups may occur in the future; I haven't tested with working acceleration long enough to find out. I ran yum check-update, but I didn't see anything in Fedora 9 for the kernel or any Xorg drivers.
