Rawhide boot failure: init wants selinux_getenforcemode
by Jonathan Corbet 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

I'm getting more SELinux-related weirdness on my x86_64 rawhide box. I just did a reboot after an update, and init croaked with: /sbin/init: symbol lookup error: /sbin/init: undefined symbol: selinux_getenforcemode Needless to say, I didn't get the nice graphical login screen I was hoping for. Tossing an older SysVinit package onto the system made it bootable, but this episode does bring to mind a few questions: - Why am I getting things failing with weird, missing selinux symbols? And why is nobody else complaining about it? - Why isn't init staticly linked? As a general rule, I like it better when init actually works regardless of what else might be hosed on the system. - Any chance you could cram a couple more colons into the error message? The most pressing question for me is the "why only me?" part. Where is selinux_getenforcemode supposed to be defined? libselinux.so would seem to be a likely one, but I don't find it there...

I have been confused by the presence of the three names... kernel-source-xxx, kernel-sourcecode-xxx, kernel-xxx.src.rpm I generated a new kernel-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.src.rpm, then did a build on it. This ended up with three outputs: kernel-doc-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.i386.rpm kernel-debuginfo-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.6.5-1.3xx.root.i386.rpm What I want to do is 1) recompile the silicon image device drivers (after making changes they suggested) 2) rebuild the kernel and generate the .rpm's needed to put back into the install tree. I don't know how to generate kernel-2.6.5-1.3xx.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.3xx.i686.rpm I've seen warnings about being sure the versions of the gcc etc. are exact versions. It this still true? I'm trying to use FC2 release as my build platform. Thanks, Joe

dhcp and route
by Paul F. Johnson 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

Hi, I installed all of the packages on the ftp development area dating from last Wednesday last night. All seems fine post that, however, I'm still having the same problem I had last week in that if I do a reset, the machine is not picking up the correct gateway address for my router (I have to delete the default gateway and reinitialise it from the command line with the router's address) Is this likely to be a router problem or a FC2 rawhide problem and if its a rawhide problem, which package is it likely to come under? I'm guessing either one the dhcpd or the routing program (dunno it's name though - routed sounds a good guess!). It is not a kernel related problem from what I can see. I do need to get to the bottom of this. A second reason for me being unsure if it's the router or the system is that using neat, I have it set to obtain the IP address and DNS from the router. This failed on two machines yesterday and I had to set the DNS manually - basically, the two machines could ping via the router, just obtain the DNS information from it.

I mean, Aye Chihuahua! How can anybody be so stupid as to install a "not suitable for production" use OS in a production environment without AT LEAST first scouring the archives for known problems. And this bug was bandied abuot plenty, you'd have found it with the most casual of glances through the list archives.... or ASK for oppinions/caveats before doing such a brain-dead move in the first place. Stop blaming others for your errors. Get a grip, you'll be OK. Now, is there something you need help with? Don Russell

Re: gaim crashing after latest devel updates

Thanks! That fixed it for me as well. FYI, works if you set sound to ESD too. tom ------------------------------------------------- * From: Stan Bubrouski <stan ccs neu edu> * To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases <fedora-test-list redhat com> * Subject: Re: gaim crashing after latest devel updates * Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 22:09:58 -0400 Ok so it looks like a problem with arts... like arts server not running... I was able to work around the problem by setting gaim to use 'play %s' to play sounds instead of using arts...so I'm happy again... Would like to know: A) whats going on with artsd... B) why gaim crashes when it can't use arts and is set to automatically choose method to play audio... -sb -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

gaim crashing after latest devel updates
by Stan Bubrouski 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hey, I can no longer use Gaim with the devel tree. The latest rawhide package and CVS version i built tonight crash immediately whenever I start to send a message to anyone (all accounts are AIM). If I leave it open and don't message anyone it will crash soon as well. I wish I could tell you more but gdb ain't acting so nice atm... Anyone else experiencing this? I checked Bugzilla and there wasn't anything remotely similar. I'm running all the latest devel packages on top of FC2. On a side note compiling it with gcc33 or gcc34 made no difference what- so-ever... I know the rawhide package uses gcc33 to compile, but even rebuilding that did nothing. It's not an issue with my settings either: I moved my ~/.gaim and soon as i setup an account and tried to send a message, gaim went down hard... -sb -- Stan Bubrouski <stan(a)ccs.neu.edu>

I set for 10 or 100 Mb and it works OK - with auto-negotiate enabled or disabled. If the switch is set for 1000 Mb, auto-negotate is enabled with no option to disable. -- FYI: I have tried using another distro (SuSE) and I have not found any of the numerous networking problems that occur in Fedora. I think they are all using the same drivers so it must be the code that calls the drivers... Joe

Hmmmm....are you set for auto-negotiate? Some of the switches I work with (3Coms believe it or not) don't auto-negotiate well at the higher speed.
