The processor I am using is a Pentium 4 3.0GHZ 800MHZ-FSB HT
processor. I am trying to figure out why the red graph in the CPU area
of K System Guard is so high. Thanks again.

F10 installs new packages automatically behind your back

2008-12-02T17:18:15Z

I just noticed a white popup on the lower right of my screen saying
something like "Updates have been applied" which is odd since I have the
default settings which should not allow automatic updates. Looking in
/var/log/yum.log I found

Dec 02 19:47:59 Installed: createrepo-0.9.6-3.fc10.noarch
Dec 02 19:47:59 Installed: 1:anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-3.fc10.noarch
Dec 02 19:48:00 Installed: preupgrade-1.0.0-1.fc10.noarch

Not only did I not specify automatic updates, these are NOT updates -
they weren't installed before, and nothing depends on them. After
noticing this, I uninstalled them without anything else being removed
with them as dependencies. A web search shows that this has been seen
before:

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=203380

I suspect that a lot of people who search for these 3 packages in
yum.log would see this. I only noticed because I was looking at the
screen at that exact time - but not manually running any package
install/update utility, or even logged in as root.

Not if you pinged by IP address. If you pinged by NAME (e.g. "ping
mirrors.rpmfusion.org"), then that would rule out DNS as a name
resolution had to occur.

The "host" command simply does a DNS lookup of the given FQDN (fully
qualified domain name) and returns the IP address(es) of the servers
with that name. In this case, there's two servers in a DNS round robin
load-balanced (also called a DNS-RR) cluster.

Ah, but I'm running bind (named) as a local cache and added
the -4 option in /etc/sysconfig/named to make it only do
IPv4, and all my problems disappeared. Seems to be the best
work-around for now.

The above link is the redhat magazine article I used to

There certainly seems to have been lots of folks encountering:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459756

Should it be included in the common bugs wiki?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/Common

It seems particularly confusing since it isn't obvious
that it is a DNS problem, you just find things that
don't work, and you're not sure why.

I'm not surprised. Since they maintain a large number of distinct
servers, and want to spread the load around, having different IP results
for DNS look-ups is one simple, and quite effective, way of doing that.

Sounds like a broken card, and your system doesn't like it. I've had a
broken modem card short out a power supply. It survived okay, it just
auto-shutdown until I removed the fault.

Unless you're electronically inclined, and don't mind trying to see if
you can fix a circuit board fault, I'd take it back to the store.

Sounds like the same issue people had with it, and other programs, on
Fedora 9. Network manager can erroneously report that the system is
off-line, and certain software would drop into off-line mode.

If you don't use network manager, then completely turn off the service.
And it should stop affecting software in that manner.

If you don't want Firefox to be controlled by it, then you can turn that
feature off in Firefox. Type about:config into the address bar, type
networkmanager into the filter bar, change the
toolkit.networkmanager.disable preference value to true (double clicking
it will toggle its status).

There's probably a similar problem, and solution, for Thunderbird.
Evolution also gets affected by NetworkManager, but I've not looked for
a work around. I just make sure the network's up before I start the
program.

In fact... as jeff says system->preferences->system->Authorisations

Then in the left hand pane, scroll down until you see "device-access".
As a sub-item of that entry you'll see "Directly access scanners".
Select that. In the right hand pane you'll see (amongst other things)
"Implicit authorisations" ... click the Edit button. Hopefully it is

I wounder if you have a scanner that is not listed in
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules. If so, the scanner symlink would
not be created, and the console user would not be given permission
to use the device.

Desire to use something does not guarantee people are willing to do
the work to keep it maintained. People interested in seeing KDE 3.x
as an option will have to be the people who do the work to make it
happen. Just like the people doing the work to make Sugar available
as an option. It doesn't really matter what the userbase size is.
This is an opportunity for you and like-minded KDE 3.x users to step
up and contribute the necessary work to get KDE 3.x re-integrated into
Fedora as an additional DE option side-by-side with KDE 4.

When I log in as a normal user I can't use the scanner, SANE won't find it. If I log in as root, yes, SANE finds the scanner and allows me to scan. However, I don't want to give root access to people who want to scan.

Are you using NetworkManager? If so, is NM actually managing your
interface? If NM is running but not managing the interface, some apps
think they are offline when they aren't. This happens with Evolution and
(I think) with Firefox as well.

Solution: straighten out your NM setup (it's probably enough just to
right-click on the NM applet and mark the interface), or don't use it.

This is probably ConsoleKit/PolicyKit in action. When you log in sat
at the machine, you're a console user with physical access to the
machine, and so you get permissions to access the hardware. When
logging in remotely the permissions don't get set to allow you to
access connected hardware. I suggest having a read about
ConsoleKit/PolicyKit and working out what policy you need to change to
get the permissions you want when logging in via VNC.

You could be experiencing this problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459756

I know "ping" and "nslookup" always seemed to work for me
when other tools randomly failed. If you have NIS turned on
it might be this bug instead:

Regenerating expired mail.crt?

2008-12-02T14:44:46Z

Sorry if this is a FAQ candidate... I dug a bit and couldn't fit a
suitable answer...

How do I reconstruct an expired mail.crt file? As I remember, the cert
was originally generated automatically by the .spec when I installed
some package or another, but I can't figure out which it was or I'd just
peek into the .spec and repeat it again.

Thanks,

-Philip

Re: Borked MD RAID...

2008-12-02T14:32:38Z

Ok, so here's what /proc/mdstat says after a clean reboot:

Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid5 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
      1465143808 blocks level 5, 256k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [UU_]

md_d0 : inactive sdd[2](S)
      732574464 blocks

unused devices: <none>

I basically have to do:

>mdadm --stop /dev/md_d0
>mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1
>cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid5 sdd1[3] sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
      1465143808 blocks level 5, 256k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [UU_]
      [>....................] recovery = 0.4% (3269252/732571904) finish=153.7min speed=79057K/sec

unused devices: <none>

Furthermore, the first time I saw this, it was /dev/sdb that had dropped. Yesterday it was /dev/sdc. Today it's /dev/sdd. That's what throws me off about this whole thing.

What's in /etc/mdadm.conf, /proc/mdstat and dmesg when this fails ?

Johnathon, The xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.2-6.fc9.noarch.rpm is in the
Fedora repo, all I had to do is Yum it.
The NX application is a third party app. and not in the Fedora or
Rpmfusion repos.

You don't *need* to do so¹. If you think that you do, you really don't
have any business running as root anyway. If you disagree, then you
should know well how to enable root login so that you may shoot at
your toes.

The default is a good one for the vast majority of users. If you feel
that you are not in that group, then adjust things as needed.

¹ I cannot think of once in a decade that I've needed to login to a
desktop UI as root.

Can you resolve mirrors.rpmfusion.org:

[root@prophead ~]# host mirrors.rpmfusion.org
mirrors.rpmfusion.org has address 129.143.116.10
mirrors.rpmfusion.org has address 213.129.242.84

If not, then your DNS isn't set up correctly. Get that fixed and you'll
probably be OK.
