How is your rawhide?

[SlowJet]

Mine is ok.
Haven't updated any of the new Xorg stuuf because it kills the mouse and keyboard or hangs after login.

On koji, the new libcanberra package really ticks off several packages after statup. Lots of cpu usage. hangs on background screen with mouse pointer.

Other than that it is running great with
newest kernel 2.6.31 24
evolution
openoffice 3.1.1-13.3
a new libselinux and selinuxy policy
several memory leak fixes.
new openssl
new nss, poppler, upstart
yum 3.2.23-8

So it only a matter of what is actually broke, not the end of the world.

Well, both myself and one other person found the latest updates killed X. He fixed his, he has an NVidia (a NVidia?) and updating drivers fixed it for him--mine's an onboard Intel in an Asus EEE.

Aside from that, nothing horrible--there's a coredump on boot, but it continues to boot.

I haven't had time to investigate any of it though.

[youknowwho]

Well, latest update killed X on me, so, yeah, I can't say is going fine with me, I have an Intel onboard card, so no clue other than to ask how to update to rawhide without updating the X.org packages?

Thanks in advance!

[scottro]

Looks like tonight's update fixes it, at least for me.

[SlowJet]

Last night's updates worked but I have a task called rpc.ldmapsd hogging cpu.
I can't releate that to any package of late.
Fx would not start.

After rawhide today 24th, in level 3 with yum, then a reboot, I get a spinning mouse on the backgroud after logon.
Tasks rpc.ldmapd, canberra, Xorg, and 2 or 3 others are in a cpu fight.

How is my Rawhide? Funny you should ask. Last night's updates rendered it unworkable. Lots of amusing messages like "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed..." and "rsyslogd used greatest stack depth 2984 bytes left" and the cpu was running at 99%.

Also Gnome problems - "Cannot find session."

Finally after 3 or 4 reboots Gnome started and system-monitor revealed rpc.idmapd was using 95% cpu. I started yumex and found a single x86_64 update: rpcbind.x86_64 0.1.7-3.fc12!

Installed that, but problems persist. X only runs for 30 seconds or so before it segfaults.

I think I will wait until there is an Alpha rawhide to reinstall from - installing F11 and then updating to (possibly) unusable F12 again would require more time than I have. I should have cloned my working F12 while I had the chance, but it's too late now.

As someone said on the Test List: "Rawhide eats babies." Waaaaaaaa

[SlowJet]

It will be fixed in a few days.

SJ

P. S. The is not going to be an Alpha for F12. Beta is duw in Aug.

[SlowJet]

Rawhide is workking again.
update libcanberra libcanberra-gtk version 12 --oldpackage - that allow gnome to startup
kill -s 9 pid# rpc-ldmapd - free up the cpu
D/L newest xulrunner from koji on a working machine and sftp to the rawhide - that allowed Fx to start up.

OK, bring on dracut.

SJ

[sonoran]

Thanks for the news, sj. I'll have a go tonight.
Yeah, why does that dracut sound so ominous? They should have given it a name like Fuzzy, or Kitten.

I figured out what rpc.idmapd was about. (I was reading it ldmapd)
It is part of nfs-utils. This is for nfs4.
So just --oldpackage to the previous nfs-utils f12 rpm
rpm -Uvh nfs-utils....f12.i586.rpm --oldpackage --test

A reboot is required because SELinux-policy deneys rpc-statd to run after the fact.

So everything is normal again.

Rawhide works great apart from the 64bit repo fiasco

I'm only running it on an x86 machine right now, so have missed Leigh's luck.

It looks like they are fixing it now

At least it isn't offering to install i586 packages any more

Well, I updated to the next kernel, mkintrd, grubby, libselinux, selinux-policy.
And now Fx crashes. lol

You could try replacing your xulrunner again, or do what I did and update to 3.5rc3 from the mozilla website. NB: make sure you disable the adobe flash plugin ... it causes the browser to die.
