Risk is low enough, tagging them. Need to keep an eye on rawhide over the next day or so though, just in case. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

rawhide-i686-20071019 and Dell Dimension 5150
by Pedro Lamarão 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

The Live Image failed to boot. At the GRUB screen, where the count down to system boot appears, I could not reach the menu by pressing a key. It seems the software is not recognizing my USB keyboard. Boot fails at the very beginning, with the message: Boot: ABFDEFHIJ I remember clearly not seeing a 'G' in that sequence but I may have missed some other letter. If Fedora 8 is released like this I will be unable to properly install it in this system. This system has a Smolt page, here it is: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=5f56a712-735f-40a2-aa0f-0e7c14d468… -- Pedro Lamarão

Upgrades - updates - discuss?
by Robin Laing 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

I have use RedHat since 4.(something) and I like Fedora and hope to stay with it. The issue I have is downtime to do a full re-install and get things configured. In the past I have had problems with missing/dropped/depreciate packages that have caused me headaches. Issues with secondary repositories not creating new packages for the latest FC until requested. And all the other fun things that keep showing up on this forum. For home use, I cannot afford a second spare computer. With FC8 just about to come out, I am still waiting until I get F7 working at home for my wife to allow me to move her from FC4 on her laptop. I cannot take more than a day to do this and she needs all her applications up and running. But some of issues are are not the Fedora teams fault, as the applications are provided by secondary repositories. I came across this article that discusses rolling upgrades in contrast to scheduled upgrades. http://linux-blog.org/index.php?/archives/231-The-Absent-PCLinuxOS-Release-… Now this is a pro-PCLinux discussion but some of the points brought up are interesting. Of course they have been brought up on this and the users lists before. Reading about the changes to development in F8 and later versions of Fedora, I wonder if it would be possible to look at doing a rolling upgrade instead of a release? I have always been under the impression that a rolling upgrade wasn't possible. I believe, from experience that there could be some problems but in general, I don't see it as impossible. In some cases, the old configuration files just don't work with the new applications. At work I am still using FC6, again due to down time needed to do a clean install and get all the applications working. I have seen some cases of installing F7 rpms in FC6 and this makes me think that it would be possible to implement F8 rpms in F7 and possibly F9 rpms in F8 when it comes out. I guess what I am trying to say is that by the time F9 is ready to be spun, the F8 repositories are carrying most if not all the software of F9 and users would be at the F9 level. Just a thought to make users lives easier. -- Robin Laing

nm unable to setup new wep 64-bit connection
by Neal Becker 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

I'm able to connect to my (already configured) wpa connection, but not a new 64-bit WEP. Just keeps asking for the password (WEP password, not the gnome-keyring password). This is: rpm -q NetworkManager NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.5.svn3030.fc8.x86_64 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.5.svn3030.fc8.i386

Thanks, Michael! I attached the log. HTH! But again: It works if I run system-config-users over valgrind?!?!

Fedora 8 can't read parition table sata drives
by Boyd Kelly 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hello, I have recently been upgrading my kernel from fc7 to fc8. I am able to boot from Fedora (2.6.20-1.2949.fc7). But I cannot boot from vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-26.fc8 or from the fedora 7.92 rescue CD. When I boot from the CD, it does recognize my boot drive (/dev/sdb), but not the partitions on the drive. I did note in the faq to put options libata ignore_hpa=1 into my modprob.conf file, and rebuilt a new initrd, but this did not work either. Also when booting from the 7.92 rescue CD i get following ominous dmesg output: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Scsi parity error end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 0 Dev sdb: unable to read RDB block 0 sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk At least I can still boot under fc7, but it would be nice to move forward. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks very much, Boyd Please note my controller, and loaded modules under the fc7 kernel. Entire dmesg under 7.92 rescue cd is attached.

NM applet and gnome-keyring prompt - locked up compiz Desktop
by Chuck Anderson 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

So I resumed by laptop from hibername this morning and was greeted by a dialog to unlock the keyring. Unfortunately, right as the dialog appeared, I had clicked the NM applet to check what wireless networks were available. Both the NM applet and the gnome keyring dialog opened at the same time, and apparently both tried to grab focus at the same time. As a result, the GUI locked up--I was unable to do anything but move the mouse cursor around. I went to CTRL-ALT-F1 console, logged in, and did "killall nm-applet" and that restored the desktop. Is this a compiz bug? NM-applet bug? gnome-keyring bug?
