Today (13.1.2010) On my fedora 12 I've gotan popup, tah secutity updates are available for downloading etc... I've agreed and clicket install. After installation the computer had to be rebooted and after the reboot ... compiz stopped work! (this happens on my desktop computer and my laptop too! )
When I'm trying to manually start compiz I've got several errors:
Code:
And the updates, which were installed were (after I saw the problem on my dektop , before instlling updates on laptop i listed them out here):
Code:
This issue have to be connected with these updates (I've got the same issue on my laptop and desktop computer)
just installed Fedora 13 on a pentium 4 laptop by Dell, with 1 Gb RAM.
As I opt for Compiz, it cannot start, there is a black pop up saying Crash, and some numbers follow. How can this be fixed?
Should I install KDE?
Is there an update of software?
I can opt for Compiz but worry that it will be faulty. That is the second attempt also produced the crash warning pop up but gave me the option of keeping it or going back after about twenty seconds, with the figures on the screen. I played it safe. Also can I try it, and manually go back?
Error report shows Compiz killed by Signal 11 SIGSEGV, this was added after post 9.
I've recently installed the unattended-upgrades package on a few Ubuntu 9.04 servers, and it's working great to automatically install security upgrades. However, is there a way to have non-security upgrades automatically installed as well? The README for unattended-upgrades says it'll do security ones only.
My main goal is to have all package upgrades be installed unattended except for kernel and libc upgrades (I want to do those manually on my own time). I guess I could write a script that does 'apt-show-versions -u' to get a list of upgradable packages and then do 'apt-get install' on the packages if their names don't match linux-server, linux-image-server, or libc*, but I was hoping there's an easier way to accomplish this.
I've looked at 'aptitude safe-upgrade -y', but I think that'll install kernel and libc upgrades.
that basically says it I am running aiglx with compiz everytime i start compiz my x crashes. then i have to do a hard reboot. I'm running xubuntu 9.10 dell inspiron 4150 ati radeon 7500 with SGI
Every time I have Compiz activated and I try to watch a video full screen using VLC Player, or even Movie player, the player crashes. When I turn Compiz off, all is fine. How can I fix this?
I have just suscribed into this forum. I have a problem: my notebook (NOTEBOOK SATELLITE L300-SP5917A - INTEL CORE 2 DUO T6400 (2.00 GHZ - 2 MB L2 - 800MHZ FSB) - 15.4 WIDESCREEN TRUBRITE TFT LCD - 400 GB SATA 2 .5 5400 RPM - 3GB PC2-6400 DDR2) doesn't boot ubuntu after the last security upgrade. I have wubi installed.I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu in the boot menu. I select "Ubuntu" and that leads me to the GRUB shell. I'm new in linux. It seems that GRUB doesn't detect the kernel. Maybe the file menu.lst has been deleted, or something similar, but I can't make my ubuntu to boot.
when i got my starling netbook 6 months ago it worked perfectly. due to upgrades since then i now have problems with printing, sound and videos. there are probably solutions to all of these things if i spent hours here on the forum asking questions, and trying different solutions, but it seems like a lot of work.
upgrade manager calls these things "important security upgrades". are they really important to security? would my computer be dangerously vulnerable to attack if i never did an upgrade?
I was doing a yum upgrade. It went on for like 45 minutes and 560 operations between upgrades/erase and installations. (dont know why erasing)Once all finished, I restarted and simply cant log in any more. It goes all the way to the log in screen, when I type my passwd it tries to load, but comes back to the log in screen. Fedora 11. Is there a way to start the last known good configuration? Reinstalling is the only option?
I'm running Fedora 15 with current updates and kernel. I do not have anything special or non-standard about my configuration or setup. I use grsync to sync my home folder files to a remote rsync server on my network. I've checked my hard drives and my memory and everything else I can think. Here is the problem:
grsync will run for some time and once it nears completion it will crash. This, however, is no standard crash. It literally shuts my computer "OFF". I have shared the remote rsync folder through CIFS as well and I can copy those exact same files through nautilus with drag and drop without issue. I have had a few occasions where the rsync process will complete without issue, but this is a rare occasion. Since it powers my computer completely off I do not enjoy the luxury of having any log files or messages to attempt to diagnose from.
Have an issue after an upgrade to connect to the internet using Firefox and Thunderbird.Can perform upgrades and use the Ping command.Have configured the Firewall as per the guidelines.[URL]
I have been using Fedora 7 for over a year on a dual boot system.Boots Fedor 7 and Vista Home Premium. I finally got tired of seeing the New Security update pop up after loading Firefox. So last PM I clicked to download and install the whole list. After this took place and I clicked on update, I rebooted only to see Grub giving me 3 boot selections based on these kernels:the 2007..or original kernel: 2.6.21 -1.3194.fct and a new one 2.6.23.17 -88.fct which came out in 2008 I believe.So my question is: Can I go into Grub and disable or delete the 2007 version and then get back to where I just see 2 choices when grub first comes up and asks for which system you want to boot?
I am having trouble installing upgrades to Fedora 14. The process stops and I get the following message:"The GPG keys listed for the "RPM Fusion for Fedora 14 - Nonfree - Updates" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package.Check that the correct key URLs are configured for this repository."
Malware Potentially Implicated in 2008 Fatal Plane Crash in SpainQuote:Investigators looking into the crash of Spanair Flight 5022 at Madrid International Airport on August 20, 2008, killing 154, found that the airline's central computer system used to monitor technical problems in its fleet was infected with malware, according to this news report. The central computer system should have warned the airline that Flight 5022, an MD-82 aircraft, was having repeat mechanical problems.[URL]
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but...well, I just installed Fedora after using Ubuntu for a while, and everything has been going good, except for installing upgrades. When I open the Update Manager, it says there is 399 updates. When I click install, after about ten seconds this pops up:Code:An internal system error has occuredA problem we were not expected has occured. Please report this bug in your distribution bugtracker wth the error description.

I spent *#@$ hours trying to figure out how to change my default window manager to "compiz-manger".I tried using gconf-editor and .gnomercAnybody has an idea how to do this?
I have Fedora 10 installed. I've just made an update of my system. Things that were updated were a new kernel version with devel and also something with NVIDIA (which is my video card).
After restart of my system, compiz fusion no longer works.
I have a NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1.run -file to manually install the NVIDIA-driver so the advanced features of Compiz can be utilized.
After install, the bootup screen tells me that loading the NVIDIA driver has failed. I also receive a WARNING-message.
So I puts my shinny new F12 install on my new computer. It's a little climb for me but for the most part easier then some of the other F's that I have tried to install.
One problem I have right now is my inkscape crashes as soon as I try to put some text on a page. I tried the automatic bug report thingy but it complained about me not having a log in. inksacpe is really becoming a very important application for me, I have been trying to shy away from the Windows programs I have been using.
I must say, F12 seems to really be advancing the fedora project into a nice desktop system.
after mistyping my session passwd at the kdm login, I retried again and the greeter instantaneosly crashed and X died on tty1 (black screen, blinking cursor in upper left corner) Switching to tty2, I tried to login again but did not succeed to start X again, so I rebooted the system and looked at Xorg.0.log.old. There I found: xf86CloseConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
Here we go again!
P.S.: I do not know how long this error exists, I noticed it only yesterday and the updates today didn't help.
I have recently installed Fedora 9 about a dozen times and everytime I apply the recommended system updates, the system crashes upon reboot, leaving me at a dead "GRUB" message (not a prompt). I would love to be able to update my version; suggestions?
Fedora 10 64bit install from DVD. Working my way through the how to's, this is my first linux experience!When I choose the user switcher > other OR system > Logout user > Switch user my system goes to a blank screen and I can only get it back by using the reset switch (or power off)If user1 logs out, user2 can then log on and vise versa.I can go to applications > terminal as user1 and su user2 no problem ( and back to user1)but if I use the user switcher = problem.I am fairly sure that the users are set up correctly, they all work individually.I searched the forums and there seems to be no current similar problems mentioned.My system is a gigabyte GA K8VM800M (onboard graphics and sound) AMD Sempron 1GB ram 40GB HD I used the DVD to install on to previously used HD with no other OS on it, I chose the 'use the whole hard drive for fedora' option and had no reported problems with the install.Have I got something set up incorrectly? or where should a look for help on this.
after playing games using WINE, I noticed that the system went Black screen of death.
I had to hard boot the system and now system is hanging. However, I can ssh into the system from another machine so I know only X windows hung.
I can log in using NX client without any issue, but can not log in from the console.
This is the entry from .xsession-errors: GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-4P86Nb/socket SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-4P86Nb/socket.ssh Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/stranger/.config
Almost everyday my notebook freezes. I know the kernel is still up and running because I see my hd led activity lit from time to time and when I pressed the wifi/bluetooth button it also lit on and off with no problem.
The problem is my XWindows, it's just freezes and there's nothing I can do with it. I still can move my mouse cursor but I can't click anything because the screen is just freezes.
I tried to pressed Ctrl + Alt + F2->F5 to go into console mode. Not working.
The only workaround is turn-off and turn it on again.
This happened after I installed F11. with F10 I have never seen such problem
I have a crash that occurred after first install while updating. The update was 1.2GB Had to reboot 5 times to complete the update downloading process. Much of what I read suggests KDE, xorg and qemu as part of what is causing the crash, but I haven't found a similar issue. After the update completed installation the crashes were less severe but still occur when updating.
Code: yum update The latest crash occurred after yum update and left a large amount of information in konsole. It disables wireless networking so not sure how the bug is related. During the first yum update I had to reboot the system to get full functionality back. After the first update I just had to wait for system to return to normal.

I upgraded from F12 i686 to F13 (I should say clean install). And now ever so often my computer locks up...... I will wait for an update or something this week but if it continues after I may have to go back to F12 (on another HDD)
I tried upgrade with dvd media and preupgrade from F12 but in both cases there is anaconda exception. I have dual boot windows xp (/dev/sda1) and F12 (/dev/sda2).

I've just installed F14 64bit on my desktop and I tried to run Open Office Writer. As a result, GNOME crashed and the rendering of the desktop was messed up. I had to force a reboot, and now everytime I login the Open Office recover dialog causes a crash again. I suppose it has something to do with the opensource nvdia drivers and OO.o's toolkit but I can't look at it with the crash-on-login thingy there (I suppose I can install the closed source drivers from a tty now that I am thinking it again....)

Uh... actually I can't install the closed source drivers. Yum finds no mirrors for rpmfusion >( ...or the Fedora repos :
I've recently installed the Fedora Core 14 on my laptop. Unfortunately, when I try to launch Fluent preprocessor Gambit 2.4.6 it immediately crashes giving the following message: Received exception: Assertion failed in /usr/local/fluent/build/gambit/dev/gambit_lnamd64/include/BPPTREE_CC.hpp, line 288: status == 0 I'm absolutely clueless of what might be the cause of this problem (all dependencies are resolved, at least all i know of, and all the updates applied, however the problem occurred both pre- and post-update). As i have already mentioned, there were no particular (aside from the libXm.so.3 ones...) difficulties in using it on former Fedora releases.
