Can't Authenticate GDM Login After 'yum upgrade'
by Janina Sajka 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

I ran a 'yum upgrade' on my test 3 portable Thursday night. Since then I've been unable to log onto the desktop. Console logins have not been affected. I see the following error in /var/log/secure: Sep 24 07:04:13 sonata gdm[6597]: pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= Sep 24 07:04:13 sonata gdm[6597]: pam_succeed_if(gdm:auth): error retrieving information about user JANINA Well, the user is 'janina,' and not 'JANINA,' of course. Is it me? Is there some way the desktop can be locked into caps-lock independently of the caps lock key? Or some other issue? Down versioning gdm doesn't help. I'm seriously stuck on this one. I'm in Copenhagen to demonstrate the new desktop accessibility features Monday and Tuesday. All help most gratefully appreciated.

The FLOPPY is back
by David Bentley 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

I Have just noticed that the flopy disk is back under my computer but when you double click to mount it you actually get the / file system folder in the first instance and not the contents of the flopy disk. It also mounts as disk rather than floppy. Any idea what to report this against my first guess would be gnome-mount but we also have gnome-volume-manager. Any suggestions would be welcome.

compiz and xinerama
by Thomas J. Baker 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Anyone else running a dual head setup with compiz? I've found a few problems related to compiz apparently not being xinerama aware. Window placement and maximize, the plane plugin, and gnome-screensaver unlock dialog missing seem to be affected. Please add anything to this bug if you have an xinerama setup. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208417 tjb -- ======================================================================= | Thomas Baker email: tjb(a)unh.edu | | Systems Programmer | | Research Computing Center voice: (603) 862-4490 | | University of New Hampshire fax: (603) 862-1761 | | 332 Morse Hall | | Durham, NH 03824 USA http://wintermute.sr.unh.edu/~tjb | =======================================================================

No *bling* for me. Starting compiz hangs machine
by Ralph angenendt 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Moin, as I had some time yesterday, I did a fresh install of fc6 test3 on my IBM T40 - though I kept my /home partition. Eager to see the bling (which didn't work for me in the "XAir times" either) I ran gnome-window-decorator & compiz --replace gconf And *blam* - the machine shows a very short to none activity on disk and then hangs completely. Anyone else seeing this/being able to reproduce it? As the machine is not recoverable, I have no output from dmesg ... ATI M9 (9000) with compiz-0.0.13-0.25.20060817git.fc6, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-38.fc6, xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.2-1.fc6. See <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207905> for more information. Regards, Ralph

Shutdown errors about 'logging/handlers.py' .... ?
by Tom London 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Running latest Rawhide. During shutdown, I see 'flashing' on the console several python-type error messages. The best I have been able to copy down is that they complain about /usr/lib/python2.4/logging/handlers.py:677 and :617. These lines are: self._connect_unixsocket(self.address) and self.socket.connect(address) These messages do not appear anywhere in /var/log that I can find. Can anyone verify this? I'll try to do a better job grabbing the text of the messages... tom -- Tom London

FC6 and laptop suspend/resume: should be a high priority bug
by Paul Johnson 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

The last kernel on which my Dell D820 latitude would suspend & resume was 2.6.16. For the last two months or so---all of th 2.6.17 versions--have failed. The systems suspend, but don't resume. There are plenty of reports like this in bugzilla.redhat.com. My opinion is that FC6 should not be released as final until the problem is addressed. What do you think? -- Paul E.

Re: ata_piix and ide drivers in kernel
by William John Murray 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Hi Rodd, I think this is a case of needing "hdc=*noprobe" as an option on your grub kernel command. That gives me DVD access. Unfortunately, on FC5 at the moment, it also stops nautilis automounting. Cannot win them all! Bill *

Suspend/Resume worked and no longer works
by Rodd Clarkson 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I'm going to do a little more looking into this (above and beyond what I've done already), but after installing FC6-t3 I have experienced the following: Before updating (using yum update) resume worked After updating resume no longer works. I've retried the original kernel but this hasn't helped. I'm using a NVIDIA card with the nv driver. R. -- "It's a fine line between denial and faith. It's much better on my side"

Freeze/Lockup bug in paging request kernel-smp-2.6.18-1.2189.fc5
by Paul Johnson 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

On a Dell Latitude D820, I've been running the updates-testing kernel-2.6.18-1.2189.fc5, usually without trouble. Today I launched a yum update and the download stopped in the middle of a package, and the screen stopped being updated, and after a few mouse clicks, the system locked up entirely. Video stayed on, frozen. Since this has only happened once, I don't know if it is the kind of thing to ignore or report in bugzilla. Can you advise me? Here's what /var/log/messages says: Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 756e6547 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: printing eip: Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: f891af4f Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: *pde = 002bc6e4 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: Oops: 0002 [#1] Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: SMP Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: last sysfs file: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:0c:00.0/cmd Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: Modules linked in: button arc4 ieee80211_crypt_wep autofs4 ip_conntrack_netbios_ns ipt_REJECT xt_state ip_conntrack nfnetlink xt_tcpudp iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables dm_mirror dm_mod video sbs i2c_ec dock battery asus_acpi ac ipv6 lp parport_pc parport snd_hda_intel ipw3945(U) snd_hda_codec ohci1394 snd_seq_dummy nvidia(U) ieee1394 snd_seq_oss joydev ieee80211 sg snd_seq_midi_event ieee80211_crypt tg3 serio_raw snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm uhci_hcd ehci_hcd snd_timer i2c_i801 snd i2c_core soundcore snd_page_alloc intel_rng pcspkr ext3 jbd ata_piix libata sd_mod scsi_mod Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: CPU: 0 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: EIP: 0060:[<f891af4f>] Tainted: P VLI Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: EFLAGS: 00010206 (2.6.18-1.2189.fc5smp #1) Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: EIP is at ext3_clear_inode+0x52/0x8b [ext3] Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: eax: c07c8a80 ebx: c07c8994 ecx: c0683fc0 edx: 756e6547 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: esi: c07c8a80 edi: 00000000 ebp: f7fafee0 esp: f7fafed4 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: Process kswapd0 (pid: 231, ti=f7faf000 task=f7eee030 task.ti=f7faf000) Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: Stack: c07c8a80 c07c8c9c 00000008 f7fafef0 c0488392 c07c8a80 c07c8a88 f7faff08 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: c0488667 f7faff18 c07c90f0 00000000 00000080 f7faff2c c0488873 00000080 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: 00000080 c07c8db8 e4ab3758 00008854 f7ff2328 00000081 f7faff5c c045badb Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: Call Trace: Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0488392>] clear_inode+0xd8/0x129 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0488667>] dispose_list+0x3c/0xc1 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0488873>] shrink_icache_memory+0x187/0x1af Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c045badb>] shrink_slab+0xd0/0x137 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c045be61>] kswapd+0x29a/0x370 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c043662d>] kthread+0xc3/0xf2 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0402005>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: Leftover inexact backtrace: Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0405329>] show_stack_log_lvl+0x8a/0x95 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0405460>] show_registers+0x12c/0x199 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c040565d>] die+0x190/0x293 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c060f615>] do_page_fault+0x4e9/0x5bb Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0404b95>] error_code+0x39/0x40 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0488392>] clear_inode+0xd8/0x129 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0488667>] dispose_list+0x3c/0xc1 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0488873>] shrink_icache_memory+0x187/0x1af Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c045badb>] shrink_slab+0xd0/0x137 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c045be61>] kswapd+0x29a/0x370 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c043662d>] kthread+0xc3/0xf2 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: [<c0402005>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: Code: 0f 94 c0 84 c0 74 07 89 d0 e8 98 20 b5 c7 c7 83 90 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff 8b 93 94 00 00 00 85 d2 74 24 83 fa ff 74 1f 85 d2 74 11 <f0> ff 0a 0f 94 c0 84 c0 74 07 89 d0 e8 6a 20 b5 c7 c7 83 94 00 Sep 28 12:45:29 pols125 kernel: EIP: [<f891af4f>] ext3_clear_inode+0x52/0x8b [ext3] SS:ESP 0068:f7fafed4 Sep 28 12:48:34 pols125 shutdown[2491]: shutting down for system halt Sep 28 12:48:34 pols125 init: Switching to runlevel: 0 Sep 28 12:48:34 pols125 gconfd (pauljohn-2390): Received signal 15, shutting down cleanly Sep 28 12:48:34 pols125 gconfd (pauljohn-2390): Exiting Sep 28 12:48:36 pols125 smartd[1983]: smartd received signal 15: Terminated Sep 28 12:48:36 pols125 smartd[1983]: smartd is exiting (exit status 0) Sep 28 12:51:44 pols125 syslogd 1.4.1: restart. -- Paul E.
