Nvidia and SElinux
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

The Nvidia X driver is a "killer application". Can't get the card fan to quiet down without it. Cen't get compiz running without it. Some apps such as Flightgear aren't usable without it. Integrated motherboard graphics I've seen are too slow. Not an answer except for servers people hardly look at. Assuming SElinux provides an important level of real world protection, it needs to work in the desktop world. If SElinux is that important it shouldn't be such a hassle that only server admins will put up with it. -- Chuck Forsberg caf(a)omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665

Rawhide does not boot since 2.6.27-0.398
by Bruno GARDIN 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

I am testing rawhide for a few month now but i have problem of boot since kernel 2.6.27-0.398. My rawhide is a virtual system on vmware server now in version 2.0. Whenever i try to boot, i got the following errors at the end : Activating logical volumes VOlume group "VolGroup00" not found Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) Creating root device Mounting root file system mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3. No such file or directory Setting up other filesystems setuproot: moving /dev failed:No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting/proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Mount failed for selinuxfs on /selinux: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init swithroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Booting has failed Boot works fine with kernel 2.6.27-0.382 but fails also with 2.6.27-1. I have looked at the thread related to ext4 but i am using ext3. I have also tried a new mkinitrd on 2.6.27-1 but no change. Any idea of what the problem could be ? -- BeGe

F10 Snap 3, VMware Workstation 6.5, and ThinkPad T400
by Christopher A Williams 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

OK - I have successfully loaded up F10 Snap 3 on my ThinkPad T400. Twice. I had to make a couple of changes along the way, including some specific CMOS configuration changes, but I generally have that part working. The first post-install boot always hangs after the firstboot configuration screens are done and you click the Finish button. After a hard reset, the system does come up normally. Everything seems to work at a base level. ATI graphics configure properly in unaccelerated mode, but only after specifically setting Discrete Graphics in CMOS. Autoswitch between Discreet and Internal does NOT work - it confuses and kills X. Hopefully the accelerated drivers will work better... I'm trying now to get VMware Workstation 6.5 up and running. It installs without incident from the Bundle file. The RPM doesn't. In both cases, Workstation simply refuses to start. Trying from the command line, I get messages back that several modules and services are not running. Does anybody have this working??? This is the next critical piece for me to solve... Cheers, Chris -- ============================== "If you are calm while all around you is chaos, then you probably haven't fully understood the magnitude of the situation." --Unknown

rawhide:selinux relabeled fs, now cannot login
by Jerry Amundson 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

I'm not kidding. I didn't create this problem to prove a point.. I'm serious, I didn't! :-) Really though, I took a laptop running rawhide, just updated this morning. In s-c-selinux I set Enforcing. [I did *not* see a "relabeling takes time" warning like I did in f8] Rebooted. Relabel started. I went to fridge, folded some clothes, whatever... I see it rebooting, seems to come to level 5 normally. But users, root, nobody can login, graphical, tty, nothing. I booted in rescue, start sshd. My root ssh login gives me "Unable to get valid context for root" but gives me a shell anyway. [thats good!] SElinux startup in dmesg and boot.log are normal. **** Snippets from /var/log/secure: Oct 26 19:56:13 JerryA-D600 kdm: :0[2223]: pam_selinux(kdm:session): Error!

Fedora Test Day - F10 Installation Guide
by James Laska 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Greetings, Today's scheduled test day with a focus on eclipse-3.4 testing has been postponed. :( Instead, I'd like to invite folks to help review the F10 *DRAFT* installation guide (available at http://jsmith.fedorapeople.org/drafts/install-guide-en_US/). There have been significant improvements to anaconda (NetworkManager integration and install method changes) which may not be fully/correctly documented. As always, you're welcome to join #fedora-qa to share your F10-Beta or F10 Snapshot feedback. More information can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days. Hope to see you there, James

java plugin question
by Petrus de Calguarium 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

I decided to update java-1.6.0-openjdk and java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin from koji this morning. No problems, but a mysterious message: /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so has not been configured as an alternative for libjavaplugin.so I checked alternatives and this is true. 1. Should I set it up in alternatives, as is implied? 2. I am using the sun plugin for firefox, but konqueror needs gcjwebplugin.so, doesn't it?

ATI-Card shows Window-Buttons false, if Desktop-effects enabled
by Roger Grosswiler 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hi, This weekend, i got also F10Beta on my working-machine :) it worked out of the box, but i still work on details. One of the first i saw was, that if i enable desktopeffects on that box, there is a space between the 3 buttons (minimize, maximize, close), the size of the space seems the same as the button itself.

Lack of feedback from Anaconds GUI
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

When the NEXT button is clicked on the GUI install, nothing visible happens. This tempts the user to click it again. The spurious click then causes the GUI to whizz past the next step. Good interface design would have the button go dark when activated. At the very least, purge the input event queue before displaying the next button. -- Chuck Forsberg caf(a)omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665
