Log file-dmesg

xorg.conf does not exist.

I've truncated the system-log to today's boot only.

Comment 9 Ben Skeggs 2010-04-28 06:07:21 UTC
You Xorg.0.log indicates you're using xorg-x11-server-1.7.5-1.el6 which has a known bug that's very similar to this.  The bug was fixed in 1.7.5-2.

Is the issue resolved after an update?

Comment 10 Dan Beard 2010-04-28 11:21:10 UTC
Morning, Ben.

Nope.   Still the same.   In fact, there's only one update available so far, (since the install) and that is a chinese language pack.

Comment 11 Ben Skeggs 2010-07-07 23:35:37 UTC
Have you been able to try this with beta2?  The necessary updates should be there.

Comment 12 Dan Beard 2010-07-14 07:09:10 UTC
Morning, Ben.

I have not installed Beta2.   Is there any way to update into it?   I had an HDD fail recently, and a good sized chunk of data got saved to the Beta1 partition.   I am therefore reticent to immediately install Beta2 over it.

Comment 13 Ben Skeggs 2010-07-15 00:00:34 UTC
Do you see any updates from yum now that beta2 is released?

Comment 14 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 14:56:17 UTC
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Comment 15 Dan Beard 2010-07-15 16:13:17 UTC
Afternoon, Ben.   Sorry it took a while.   

I'm in RHEL Beta6 now, and I can see no updates here at all save a chinese language package.

If you'll walk me through it, I'll get the repos straightened out and get this updated.

My yum.repos.d contents is listed below.

My thoughts are to change $releasever to 6Workstation-beta2 perhaps?  Either that or to create a new repo file pointing at it.

Comment 17 Dan Beard 2010-07-16 02:09:01 UTC
Ok.   That gave me enough info to surf in and get something that will work.   

*Sigh!*   Now I spend all night watching it update!   :-P  

I'll get back to you with the results.


Thanks!

Comment 18 Dan Beard 2010-07-16 04:48:50 UTC
Well ... that fixed this bug so we can close it ... but it seems to be popping regular Kernel crashes now.   Bug that's a bug for a different stew.

Ah, well.   That's life in fedora/Redhat update land.   Wouldn't want to get bored with it all, now would we?   :-D

Comment 19 Ben Skeggs 2010-07-16 05:00:39 UTC
While it's unfortunate you're having kernel issues now, I'm glad this bug is resolved :)

Thank you for testing!
