start_udev and X crashing after latest FC3T2 update
by Clyde E. Kunkel 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Finished updated FC3T2 this AM and get error msg unexpected } in line 79 of /sbin/start_udev. Never get graphical login screen. Can blindly login in, open tty2 and reboot. Anyone else having these probs? I am not an expert by any means and appreciate any help anyone can provide? This is a multi-boot machine and am able to look at FC3T2 messages after booting into FC2 and see the following about X crashing (partial listing): Sep 29 10:08:10 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 Sep 29 10:08:10 localhost kernel: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.11.0 20020828 on minor 0: Sep 29 10:08:10 localhost kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.

Problem with yum updates tonight?
by Paul F. Johnson 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi, It could just be down to my boxes, but both at work (Salford Uni) and home, trying to run yum update seems to be running dog slow. Infact, I can't do an update as I get timeout errors. Is there a problem? I'm using 4 servers for getting my updates (inc. the RH one) TTFN Paul -- Homer: Donut? Lisa: No, thanks. Do you have any fruit? Homer: This has purple stuff inside. Purple is a fruit.

What version of gawk do you have installed? If gawk version is 3.1.4-1, you must install gawk-3.1.3-9. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131737#c3 2004-09-29 (수), 23:25 -0700, Paul Watkins 쓰시길: > I get a kernel panic when booting with the new kernel 2.6.8-1.590 -- > happens when trying to load ext3 and switch to new root. > > In fact the no version of the kernel above 2.6.8-1.541 works for me. > > Any suggestions?

FC3T2 Gecko Errors

When on http://psdam.mit.edu/rise/tutorials/management/management.html I now get errors trying to download the XLS file there. "XML PARSING ERROR..." Anyone else getting that?

fc3t2 - a hard lockup of system during use
by Marius Andreiana 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi Just had a hard lockup of system during use (desktop), the hdd kept trashing. ctrl+alt+backspace had to effect, nor switching to console. There's nothing about this in /var/log/messages or Xorg.log. What can I do to debug it? Can't reproduce it, but in case it happens again. Have the output of top written to a file every second? At least that would show what process caused it. (Anyway, an user process shouldn't crash the system) Thanks -- Marius Andreiana Galuna - Solutii Linux in Romania http://www.galuna.ro

I am back in business with X and the builtin nvidia support. I am using "xorg-x11-6.8.1-4" I guess udev is really the package that screwed things up today.

You still get X killed when ctl-alt-Fn to a terminal while X has focus. This is at 1024x768 at 24 depth and DRI is enabled. 1400x1050 works good at 24 depth for me, no DRI. I dare not drop to 16 depth yet at higher resolutions that disable dri. No need to drop back on X for this yet for the 815 card, unless you could not work around prior problems with the last release candidate. With another graphics card installed and trying out s-c-display, I could not get the radeon and dual-head to configure. Also, with the two cards installed (internal 815 and Radeon 7200 PCI) I could not get the 815 to go to resolutions above 800x600. Is this a normal side-effect of having multiple video cards installed? Or was the higher resolution cut back for the 815 card? To change resolutions w/ both cards installed, I have to replace xorg.conf w/ previously configuration files for higher resolutions.

system-config-soundcard
by Féliciano Matias 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Sorry for my English :o) I spend some times with audio setting and system-config-soundcard. My configuration is a little "special". Two sound cards : - 1 ens1371 - 2 via82xx Kudzu see the cards in reverse order : - 1 via82xx - 2 ens1371 via82xx is set to snd-card-0 and ens1371 is set to snd-card-1 by kudzu. But I want ens1371 to be the first card. Mostly because OSS programs don't care about /etc/asound.conf. Kudzu is in its own right but it's annoying me. So I change the order card in /etc/modprobe.conf. This trigger this bug : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133759 Next a launch system-config-soundcard to see what append. s-c-sc don't use the card order in /etc/modprobe.conf or /proc/asound/cards but the order of kudzu. To solve this issue, I patch s-c-sc to reorder the card base on /proc/asound/cards. This give me a display less "sexy" : before : http://feliciano.matias.free.fr/system-config-soundcard/old.png Now : http://feliciano.matias.free.fr/system-config-soundcard/new.png s-c-sc don't load the current configuration from /etc/asound.conf. What you see is not what you have. The mixer is unmuted only if "Play test sound" is clicked and only for the first card (base on kudzu). I my case, it only unmute the second sound card. Perhaps related to this bug : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132575 A detail : Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz) please, try the plug plugin (-Dplug:hw:1,0) Dependency : sox, alsa-lib : useless kudzu : missing ( #33756 ) I fix these issues and "Ooops", remove all code unneeded by FC3 and do some cleanup. http://feliciano.matias.free.fr/system-config-soundcard/ Be careful ! It's a two days hacking with python and I _never_ use python before ! Since my version is not close to Fedora, I doubt Fedora want to make it upstream. So, what bug should I file ? All ?
