NetworkManager randomly dying?
by Wes Shull 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Has anyone else observed NetworkManager dying on them randomly? I say randomly because I don't see a pattern to it yet; no doubt it is deterministic in some way. I'm current on rawhide, including NetworkManager-0.2-1. Nothing spectacular happens to indicate its death; I just happen to occasionally notice the network is down, and... # service NetworkManager status NetworkManager dead but pid file exists The only remotely useful thing I can find in /var/log/messages: Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: AUTO: Best wired device = (null) Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: AUTO: Best wireless device = (null) (null) Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: nm_state_modification_monitor(): beginning activation for device '(null)' with this additional line after those in /var/log/debug (to which I have syslog dumping *.debug): Aug 31 00:00:22 ip68-110-7-34 NetworkManager: nm_device_activation_cancel(eth1): canceled I'm planning on doing further debugging, but first maybe someone needs to add the NetworkManager package to bugzilla? Or is it there and I'm just blind? --wes

Status of htree?
by Steve Bergman 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Eeek! My previous post had a subject of: Subject: (no subject) I'm tempted to blame Evolution, but I fear it was my fault. ;-/ Anyways... What is the status of htree these days? Does the current rawhide create its filesystems with dir_index enabled during installation? What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of htree at the current time? Thanks (again ;-), Steve Bergman

xorg X11 using i81x drivers is working now
by Jim Shepherd 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

Just upgraded to the 6.7.99.903-1 release of xorg-X11 that became available this morning and X is finally working on my PC with i810. Previously, X would not start when using the i810 driver and I received the same errors as many others on this list with similar Intel chipsets. -Jim

I discovered the problem initially when using -526, halfway through a DVD->XviD job, I lost access to the whole external drive. Rebooting to -533 revealed that the situation is even worse there (until voluntary preemption is turned off). Would be nice to have /proc/sys/kernel knobs to control preemption though. Are those removed by upstream or by Red Hat developers? (Though since in this case upstream = Ingo who works for Red Hat, there's not much difference) Regards, -- Michel Salim 林智勇 http://salimma.livejournal.com

xorg-x11-903 deps fail: needs libXp

rpm -Fvh xorg*m error: Failed dependencies: libXp.so.6 is needed by xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-1 libXp.so.6 is needed by xorg-x11-tools-6.7.99.903-1 ............................... and libXp is not in xorg-x11-libs. Is this a spec file problem, or is libXp still needed? sean

Hi, I've done another reboot, took ages to get past starting the cups server (which it eventually did), but looking in var/log/messages, I saw this.

Other processes killed include such favourites as modprobe (and that's it - though it was killed 8 times!). Is this related to cups and if not, where is it from as I think it should be in bugzilla rather than my desktop. Something *is* up with cups though. If I try to use system-config- printer, the entire machine locks up, lots of HD thrashing and no action. I have to switch the machine off to get things working again. Very annoying!

kernel-2.6.8-1.533 kills ethernet
by Phil Schaffner 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

Updated FC3T1/rawhide system to kernel-2.6.8-1.533 and it broke 3Com 3c556B Ethernet on IBM A21p ThinkPad notebook. Continuous errors logged to console starting during boot. Boot completes and login is possible, but network is non-functional. Fell back to 526 and everything works as before. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131293 Phil

Bizarre warnings with kernel 2.6.8-1.533: uba: was not changed
by Michel Salim 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

I am using a USB2 external hard drive with kernel 2.6.8-1.533 and keep getting the following message: uba: was not changed where uba is the USB had drive (a JFS partition is on uba1, but the message appears both before and after the partiiton is mounted) The message appears at a rate of 1 every other second. Has anyone seen this? It's rather harmless, but annoying.. Thanks -- Michel Salim 林智勇 http://salimma.livejournal.com
