After updates, won't boot past the word "grub" with F9
by Arch Willingham 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

After the updates that have come out, Friday though yesterday, I finally did a reboot. Whe4n it boots, the word "grub" pops up on the screen and that's as far as it goes. I assume its toast but what caused it? I can't say what the updates are since the laptop is now dead as my grandmother. Thanks, Arch

preupdate failure
by Neal Becker 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

After running without complaint, reboot into rawhide install. It tries to download kdelibs-devel-xxx. That doesn't work - no surpise - since it didn't activate any net interfaces.

gpk-application displays packages twice

first i've noticed on x86_64 and thought was livna related, then i've seen it on i386, freshly updated, untainted. -- Linux counter #213090

F9beta update takes forever
by John Summerfield 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Or seemingly. A while ago I asserted that yum's performance is glacial, in the face of claims it was much improved. yum might not be the problem. Here is some evidence. My update of 184 packages on an otherwise unloaded HP DC7700 SFF ran from 17:58 to 20:07, a little over two hours. Presumably those are actual install times we're looking at, not time retrieving them across my (wireless) LAN.

keyboard not detected, yum groups missing
by Adam Pribyl 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

As there is still not yet a pre-release build and time is getting short I tried to install rawhide from 13.Apr with boot.iso over network. This is HP Pavilion with Athlon 64 X2 CPU, but I tried to install i386. I was not able to get with installation past first dialog, because PS2 keyboard is always lost. This was true for both i386 graphical and i386 textmode install. Then I tried x86_64 version - this one looses keyboard after GUI is started. The only way to install was x86_64 textmode. After install keyboard and mouse works.. but to get past install was pretty tricky - this was "failover" method... After default netinstall I tried to add KDE group. yum grouplist lists the KDE (K Desktop Environment) isw listed twice as available group, but you can not install it # yum groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)' Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Group Process No packages in any requested group available to install or update Adam Pribyl

Rhythmbox
by Antonio M 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

I am experiencing small breakages when I listen to radio (for example http://www.radioswisspop.ch/live/mp3.m3u) and after some time that Rhythmbox is started. This happens since a while, but I cannot say what update causes this behaviour. I see the buffer line showing that buffer is empty and is refilled.Maybe that is connected to some gstreamer-plugin (part from Fedora and part from livna). And I am experiencing this behaviour on one of my systems that is playing on Intel 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 audio controller with snd-intel8x0 driver and Alsa driver 1.0.16-3.fc9.i386 Any idea??? -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag

keyboard shift stopped working - old kernel, vmware
by Development discussions related to Fedora 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

I have had an experience where the shift key stops working. It also affects the shift lock, and makes it impossible to enter a shifted password. Machine: hp compaq nx6320 notebook. F8>F9beta>rawhide booting kernel-2.6.24 from F8 so that vmware-server works. keyboard shift stops working in both vmware guest {xp} and in the host. Is this machine just special ? Speak up if you have seen this before :) DaveT.

NetworkManager-Openvpn: Broken`?
by Roger Grosswiler 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

I installed FC9 Preview by yesterday. On the first sight, it seems, that there is still plenty to do. - PackageKit takes forever when installing new software, especially if it has to wait for the end of an update und my powerful p2/300mhz box ;) (OT, separate thread) - Yum in shell is even quicker, so i installed NetworkManager-Openvpn yesterday: = it is not working, trying to install an openvpn connection ends up giving the error-message, that the vpn-software hasn't been found. Is it a bug? still in progress, perhaps i searched wrong on bugzilla, but i did not find anything. greez Rog
