The new generation of computer/GPU hardware is being designed to do this with dedicated peripherals, but the flashplayer you have won't use that.

I have no idea how you ever managed to decode that video at such low CPU utilization. Maybe you get a different version from the server depending on which version of flashplayer you have.

The fstab man page says: The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the dump(8) command to determine which filesystems need to be dumped. If the fifth field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need to be dumped. The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to deter- mine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. So I believe that you've diagnosed the problem. "2c" isn't a valid option and may be throwing whatever parses the mount options at boot off. This might cause /boot not to mount, which isn't a big problem as it's only necessary to mount it when installing new kernels or editing grub.conf. Pallav should try removing the "c" from the end of that line and see if that corrects the problem. -- Sam -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I should have asked for it too. Unless you need /boot for an administrative task (like generating an initramfs or editing grub.conf), you don't need to have it mounted for your system to run. There are even some sysadmins who unmount it automatically. Is the extra "c" in the fsck_pass field of /boot in your fstab or did you add it by mistake when you posted your fstab? I doubt that this could make /boot unmount, but you never know. What is the output of # blkid -c /dev/null -t UUID=a1198e23-8da4-47c4-90f1-d516fef0b796 and what is the output of # mkdir /mnt/testboot # mount -U a1198e23-8da4-47c4-90f1-d516fef0b796 /mnt/testboot # ls -l /mnt/testboot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I have a virtual machine running GLPI and OCS Server. I've setup GLPI to import from OCS frequently (every hour or so). For the Linux machines, I use puppet to control the OCS agent. For Windows, there's a script that is run on all machines (via Group Policy) to control the OCS agent. We have about 100 machines (mostly Windows) in the inventory. There are a few problems, but overall everything works well. Machines setup by Japanese users tend to have the serial number show up in the wrong character set, which is a bit of a pain. There are a few workstations we have from a smaller manufacturer whose serial number, model, etc. wasn't properly set in the BIOS. For those machines that don't have the serial number set correctly, problems arise differentiating them programatically.

yum-complete-transaction wants to remove 159 packages

I couldn't do the "easy" way because the loop module on my systems does not have a max_part parameter and it does not create the /dev/loop0p* device nodes (it is CentOS 5 rather than Fedora which is why I haven't asked about this here before, but the subject came up and did lead to a solution for me; CentOS 5 is basically like a very old version of Fedora). But the offset method worked so that I could have the LVM partition directly on /dev/loop0, and then pvscan could find it. I did have to modify my filters in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf so that the loop devices would be scanned. What I really want this for is to be able to restore individual files from VM images. I back up my virtual machines with a script that pauses the VM, makes a copy of the disk image, resumes the VM, and moves the copy to our local mass storage device. Works great except that the only way to restore individual files from a backup image prior to this was to actually create a VM from the backup image and boot it. That involved a lot of manual labor. Works fine when we only have a few test VMs, but if we end up with dozens or hundreds of VMs in production, I am going to need something more automated. This can be scripted as I expect the offset is always going to be the same (or I could be clever and calculate it from the output of fdisk, then remount with offset). Even better, if we eventually do make the move from Xen to KVM, the same techniques should still work. --Greg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
grub.conf hosed after kernel update
Hi there. On the same system that I had the incomplete transaction message from yum there was another problem. After a kernel update the system would not boot. It was left with a blank screen with the cursor in the upper left corner. I booted with a gparted CD, was able to mount drives and grub.conf looked like this: title Fedora (2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.5-112.fc13.i686.PAE ro root=UUID=8f4d59d1-603d-4c40-9d55-350173ba34ba rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us video=vesafb nomodeset title Fedora (2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE ro root=UUID=8f4d59d1-603d-4c40-9d55-350173ba34ba rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us video=vesafb nomodeset initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE.img Note that there is no initrd line for the new kernel.

This has been fixed, just thought this might help someone else, and wonder if I should file a BZ about this problem.

Greg, I'd be really interested to talk to you (offline if you like) about whether libguestfs could meet your needs here. It's completely designed for this scenario, and there are other users doing very similar things with it. It won't break if specifics of the disk format change, is more secure [if you don't trust your VMs, don't mount their disks directly on the host], and you can run your scripts as non-root which should give you more flexibility and less chance to break things. To give you an idea, you could restore a directory from script by doing: #!/bin/sh - set -e disk="$1" directory="$2" destination="$3" guestfish -i "$disk" --ro

Possibly it could, but it is not an available package on CentOS. I am trying to do this with available tools so that I don't have to maintain anything on the host OS that is not available in the normal repos.

We have a pretty recent version of libguestfs and the tools in epel-testing. By "pretty recent" I mean not more than 5 days :-) from the stable branch: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.2.9-1.el5.1 We also have a version in RHEL 5 for existing RHEL customers, and libguestfs will be a generally available package in RHEL 6. Negative feedback is also useful -- eg. if you couldn't use it because it didn't work or didn't have some feature that you need.

perl-libapreq2 is broken in Fedora 13
This package provides the perl module Apache2::Request. When you attempt to use you get a linkage error: perl -MApache2::Request generates the error Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/auto/APR/Request/Request.so' for module APR::Request: /usr/lib/perl5/auto/APR/Request/Request.so: undefined symbol: apreq_hook_disable_uploads at /usr/lib/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 200. at /usr/lib/perl5/APR/Request/Param.pm line 27 Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/APR/Request/Param.pm line 27. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/APR/Request/Param.pm line 27. Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/Apache2/Request.pm line 2. This used to work in Fedora 12 and in fact copying the Fedora 12 version of Request.so to Fedora 13 seems to fix the problem. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Latex format file bugs in Fedora 13
This is a long standing bug in Fedora dating back to at least version 9, which not only hasn't been fixed, but has gotten worse in Fedora 13. The problem is that texlive does not install Tex format files in a system-wide accessible directory. Rather it creates these format files in each users home directory within a subdirectory named .texlive2007 whenever the user invokes (pdf)latex. This is especially annoying if Latex is invoked by a server daemon, such as httpd. Then Latex attempts to create .texlive2007 subdirectory in what it considers to be the daemon's home directory, such as / or /var/www/. Of course it doesn't succeed because the daemon doesn't have write permissions to these directories. In Fedora 12 and earlier, there was a simple way to fix this: fmtutil --missing would create the format files in /var/lib/texmf and afterwords Latex would use these format files instead of creating new ones in users' home directories. In Fedora 13, fmtutil does create the format files in /var/lib/texmf, but Latex ignores them and continues to recreate them in users' home directories. To see this bug in action, create a tex file say /tmp/test.tex and run the following commands su - fmtutil --missing su -s /bin/bash apache pdflatex /tmp/test.tex You will get the following error: This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) %&-line parsing enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt fmtutil: format directory `/var/www/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c' does not exist.

I presume that would be a system connection? I also use only NetworkManager, as you can see below. # chkconfig --list |grep -i network NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:on3:on4:on5:on6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off But still the directory you mention above is empty for me. Does it mean this is relevant only for connections which require authentication? Actually I had a similar problem as the OP. I couldn't connect until I logged in and asked nm-applet to connect. And I couldn't edit the connections as they were greyed out. I resolved my issue by editing the files as I mentioned in my first post. Sorry if my questions are going OT, just trying to understand how NetworkManager works. Thanks for the responses. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Now I am really curious about Flash 10.1 uses 90%+ CPU
Hi; I responded to the thread entitled "Flash 10.1 uses 90%+ CPU" by saying: "In any case, I get the same problem you describe when I simply do a restart after installation. I have found, on the other had, that if I do a full shutdown and a cold boot my CPU and Memory utilization drops back to normal." The OP tried and it did not help him solve his problem. The re-booting solution has not been an one-off thing that might have worked by accident. I have been using it through at least 2 Fedora versions and probably 10-15 upgrades. After a simple re-start my Firefox shoots up to about 90% CPU usage and shows 100% memory use. When I close down and reboot, FireFox drops to 0% to 10% usage with less than 50% memory usage. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 2 Gb memory. Why would rebooting vs restarting make a difference?

If you're using gnome try this at a shell prompt: gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command One my system, where firefox is the default browser, the response from gconftool-2 is: firefox %s You should see something similar, except with chrome (or whatever the executable is called), instead of firefox. Sounds from your description like the %s is missing, since %s is a placeholder for the url. If you are not using gnome, let us know what you are using (kde, xfce ...). Then you'll probably have to wait for someone else to help with kde or whatever. In general, if you have a question about the gui, you need to specify what you are using for your desktop.
