We have licensed, professional, courteous plumbers that can provide solutions for all of your plumbing needs, including:
Looking for a reliable plumbing service company in your area? Look no further than your local plumbing service company. We provide top-quality plumbing services to residential and commercial customers alike. From fixing leaks to unclogging drains, we can do it all. Don't waste your time with subpar plumbing companies. Call our local plumbing service company today and get the job done right. We guarantee you won't be disappointed. We service the greater Independence Missouri area.
If you have a clogged toilet or drain, the first thing you should do is call a local plumbing service company. Plumbing companies have the tools and experience to quickly unclog toilets and drains.
Our plumbing company offers 24/7 emergency service, so you can call us any time of day or night. When you call our plumbing company, be sure to describe the problem clearly so we can send the right technician for the job.
Plumbers will usually start by using a plunger to try to clear the clog. If that doesn't work, they may use a auger or snake to reach down the drain and break up the clog. In some cases, they may need to remove the toilet or drain cover to access the clog.
Once the clog is cleared, our plumbers will likely give you advice on how to prevent future clogs. For example, they may recommend avoiding certain kinds of products (like cooking grease) from going down your drains.
If your bathtub or shower is in need of repair, you may be wondering how much it will cost to fix. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to repair your tub or shower without spending a lot of money.
If your tub or shower is leaking, the first thing you should do is check the caulking around the edges of the tub or shower. If the caulking is old or cracked, it may be allowing water to seep through. You can replace the caulking yourself with a tube of caulk from the hardware store.
Another problem that can cause leaks is a cracked drainpipe. If your drainpipe is cracked, you'll need to have it replaced by a professional. However, if the crack is small, you may be able to patch it yourself with a PVC pipe repair kit.
If your shower head is leaking, chances are that the washer inside the head needs to be replaced. You can buy replacement washers at most hardware stores. To replace the washer, simply unscrew the shower head and remove the old washer. Then, screw on the new washer and reattach the shower head.
Finally, if your bathtub or shower just doesn't seem to be draining properly, there may be a clog in the drain line. You can try using a plunger to clear the clog, but if that doesn't work, you'll need to call a professional plumber to take care
Every day there are hundreds of gallons of water flowing through pipes, fixtures, and drains in your home, and because of that, they can get clogged or start to show signs of wear and tear over time. When your plumbing system starts to fail you, it is essential you immediately contact a plumber so they can evaluate the current and potential damage and offer you further guidance on the plumbing repairs you need to consider having done.
Most of the items you put down the drain will remain unchanged from the time they go down the household drain or toilet. They don't breakdown and tend to clog the wastewater system. The cost of maintaining the system will reflect on your utility bill. Grease is a liquid when it goes down but quickly hardens on the pipes. The oil accumulates on the canals and ultimately makes the pipe so small that even typical wastewater can not make its way through the system. That only leaves one way for it to flow.
If your water heater is on the fritz, you're not alone. Water heater repair is one of the most common services our local plumbing company provides.
There are a few telltale signs that your water heater may need repair or replacement, including:
• Your water isn't as hot as it used to be
• There's rust in your water
• You have strange noises coming from your tank
• There's water pooling around your tank
If you're experiencing any of these issues, give us a call. We'll send one of our experienced plumbers to diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action. In some cases, we may be able to repair your water heater. In others, replacement may be the best option. Either way, we'll make sure you have hot water again as soon as possible!
If you're dealing with a clogged or broken kitchen sink, then you need a reliable plumbing service company to help you get things fixed. Fortunately, our team is here to help. We have years of experience dealing with all sorts of kitchen sink repair issues, so we know how to get the job done right.
We understand that a broken or clogged kitchen sink can be a major inconvenience, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency service. No matter what time it is, we'll be there to help you fix the problem and get your kitchen sink back in working order.
We also offer a wide range of other plumbing services, so if you're having any other issues with your home's plumbing, we can help with that as well. Just give us a call and we'll be happy to assist you however we can.
If you have a frozen pipe, turn on the nearest faucet so that thawed ice has somewhere to go. This gives the pressure somewhere to go, which may prevent bigger damage for your home.
To avoid having your outdoor faucets freeze up in the winter, detach all hoses before the first freeze. Also, close the shutoff valve that leads to the outdoor faucets, then turn on all outdoor faucets to let them thaw out. Once water is flowing freely again, turn the outside faucets off and store all hoses away safely for the winter.
If you want to keep your kitchen drains from clogging up, don't pour grease down them. As it cools and congeals it can trap other food or waste particles, which over time can slow the draining of water and even form a clog that will not be easy to remove.
To avoid wasting water and having a potentially high water bill, check your home for leaky faucets periodically. Fix any leaks that you find right away. You may be able to do the repair yourself, but if not, you may have to seek the assistance of a plumber to make the repairs.
If you have a clogged toilet and a plunger is not helping to clear the blockage, if the water level is low, pouring a bucking of boiling water from a height into the toilet bowl could resolve the problem. Do this as often as necessary until your clog is gone, and you can flush normally once again.
Use enzymes to clean clogged drains. Enzyme based cleaners work by using natural bacteria that turns the sludge clogged in your pipes into a liquid, allowing it to flow down the drain with ease. Enzyme cleaners are considered one of the best ways of maintaining your drains.
If you own property where the temperature gets below freezing for an extended amount of time each year, you should make sure that pipes located in unheated areas, such as crawl spaces and garages, are insulated. Pipes that are exposed to the outside elements or those that are prone to freezing, should be protected by heat tape or thermostat-controlled heat cables to prevent them from freezing.
If water backs up from one sink to another, it is because the lines are connected. The part of the branch line for one device might be higher than another, but most likely there is also a blockage in the branch line connecting the two devices as well. This blockage must be cleaned.
Periodically check your pipes for leaks and cracks. These can be forgotten, since pipes are usually hidden away, but checking for leaks and cracks can help you identify a small problem before a big problem occurs. You may have to enlist the help of a family member to turn on and off the water stream as you are checking.
Beware of black water in your toilet tank. Chances are, the color is caused from too much magnesium or iron in your water. Although this is usually harmless, it can be annoying for some people. If it is iron or magnesium in your water, the only way to fix it is by filtering the water.
If you see any water pooling near your hot water heater, turn the water off to the heater immediately. If you don't, a small leak can turn into a much larger leak, making it harder to shut off.
Make sure everyone in your home knows where the main water shut off valve is and that they know how to work it. That way, if there is a water problem, anyone in your household can turn off the water, thereby reducing the chances that your home will incur major water damage.
If you have an automatic sprinkler system, make sure that you regularly test these valves for leaks. If leaks are detected, make sure to repair them before the first freeze which can occur in the fall. Freezing cold water can and will crack pipes, whether they are copper, steel, or plastic. Cracked pipes can lead to extensive water damage to your home, resulting in very costly repairs.
1. Turn off the main water supply before working on plumbing fixtures in your home. This will ensure that you aren't accidentally flooding your home or causing major damage by plugging up a drain while trying to fix another one.
2. Doing your own plumbing can be very rewarding, but it can also be a lot of work. Regardless, if you know what needs to be done and how to do it properly, you can fix most plumbing problems yourself.
3. If you are using PEX tubing for the supply lines in your home, make sure you get the right tools for the job. PEX tubing requires a completely different tool type than regular lines. Make sure you have a PEX cutter on hand to make the job go more smoothly.
4. Be careful about using liquid clog cleaners. These liquids can contain chemicals that are extremely bad for your pipes. Instead, use a snake or a plunger to dislodge any clogs you might encounter. Be sure to try these things before giving up and calling a plumber, who will probably re-perform those same acts.
5. When you're going away on a vacation, you should consider shutting off the water supply to your home. This can help stop many problems before they start. If you don't do this, you should have someone stop by your house regularly to check that nothing has gone wrong and that your home isn't flooded.
6. Make sure that you disconnect all hoses outside your house when the fall season hits. This is important to reduce the chance of freezing, which can cause damage to the connecting pipes. Disconnect all of your water hoses and store them safely to put your family in the best position for the fall.
7. Plumbing is one of those jobs that you should not do your self. If it is something easy like a toilet repair or changing out a faucet, go ahead and give it a try. If it is a major repair, then you are better off hiring a contractor and it may be required to have a licensed plumbing contractor do the work for you.
8. In any DIY plumbing project, make sure that you always test the drains and the supply lines before you close up the walls. It is a lot easier to find and solve problems if you look for them while you are still in the process of actively doing the job.
9. If your sink is letting rusty water out and it will not drain, it is mostly likely because of the biological scum and grease that is built up in the pipes. You need to have your drains professionally cleaned, allowing maximum flow through your drains. Your drains must be open completely.
10. If you are having any kind of problems with your water line or plumbing in general then you will first want to cut of your water supply. One of the most common mistakes that people make is to leave their water running while they are trying to fix things and this leads to bigger problems.

The U.S., Britain and their NATO allies cannot accelerate the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan because it's critical that they not leave until that nation's security forces can stand on their own and ensure that al-Qaida never has a safe haven there again, President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron said during a joint news conference this afternoon at the White House.
"We will not give up on this mission," Cameron said at one point. The plan, he and Obama said, remains to have most troops withdrawn by the end of 2014.
Coming just three days after the murders of 16 Afghan civilians, allegedly by a U.S. Army staff sergeant, and the recent burnings of Qurans by allied forces that enraged many Afghans, the two leaders' back-and-forth with reporters focused mostly on the situation in that central Asian nation.
But there were also questions about Iran (the leaders praised each others' efforts to put pressure on that nation with sanctions) and Syria (they called on the Assad regime to stop butchering its people, but did not come close to hinting of any plans to take military action).
We live-blogged as they spoke. Scroll down and "read up" if you want to see how things happened chronologically.
Update at 1:04 p.m. ET. More On Syria:
He and Cameron have learned, Obama says, that during crises such as that happening now in Syria, it's important that they have "thought through all of our actions before we take those steps."
And that was the last question and answer.
Update at 1:02 p.m. ET. Are Military Plans Being Made To Deal With Syria?
"Our military plans for everything," Obama says.
And Cameron says planners do "kick the tires, push the system, ask the difficult questions."
But both leaders mention that the situation in Syria is complicated and does not present an easy military solution.
Update at 12:59 p.m. ET. Stopping The "Butchering" In Syria Is In Russia's Interest:
Asked about Russia's refusal to support efforts to stop the Assad regime from continuing to kill Syrians, Cameron says "it's in Russia's interest" to help because the people in Syria can see it's "people in the West [who are] wanting to help them," not Russia.
Update at 12:58 p.m. ET. Staying On Iran:
"We will do everything we can to solve this diplomatically," Obama says.
Update at 12:56 p.m. ET. Iran:
"Those sanctions are going to begin to bite even harder this summer," Obama says of measures aimed at convincing Iran to give up any nuclear ambitions. "They need to seize this opportunity for negotiations" to avert even tougher measures.
Update at 12:53 p.m. ET. Obama On Why Polls Show Falling Support For The Mission In Afghanistan:
"We've been there for 10 years" and both Americans and Britons "grow weary" of war over time, Obama says. "No one wants war." And anyone who tells a pollster that they "enthusiastically" support war "probably hasn't been involved in a war."
Update at 12:50 p.m. ET. Cameron Sees Considerable Improvement In Afghanistan:
Staying on the subject of the war in Afghanistan, Cameron tells a Sky News reporter that "if you compare where we are today to where we've been two, three years ago, the situation is considerably improved." He believes the "troop surge" of the past couple years had a "transformative effect" on southern Afghanistan, where "insurgent attacks" are down and "security is right up."
Update at 12:45 p.m. ET. First Question; On Afghanistan:
Obama calls first on NPR's Ari Shapiro, who asks about the current situation in Afghanistan and "what makes you confident that two years from now" things will be better there?
The president makes the case for the phased withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops over the next two years, and says a "steady, responsible transition process" will lead to a stable Afghanistan. "There are going to be multiple challenges along the way," he adds, but he does not expect any "sudden" changes to the transition plan.
Update at 12:40 p.m. ET. Cameron Praises Obama On Iran:
The president's "tough, reasonable approach has united the world" behind sanctions aimed at convincing Iran to give up any nuclear ambitions, Cameron says.
Update at 12:37 p.m. ET. On Afghanistan:
"We will not give up on this mission," Cameron says of the effort in Afghanistan, because that nation cannot again be a safe haven for al-Qaida. "We will not build a perfect Afghanistan," he adds, but one that is "capable of delivering its own security."
Update at 12:35 p.m. ET. Cameron:
In his opening comments, the prime minister says the U.S. and U.K. are "two states united for freedom and enterprise."
Update at 12:33 p.m. ET. On Syria:
He and Cameron have agreed "to keep increasing pressure" on the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, Obama says. He ticks off sanctions and other measures, but does not mention military options.
Update at 12:31 p.m. ET. Afghan Strategy "Reaffirmed":
"We're going to complete this mission and we're going to do it responsibly," President Obama says of the war in Afghanistan. He and Cameron have "reaffirmed the transition plan" that aims to have most U.S. and NATO forces out of that country by the end of 2014.
Update at 12:29 p.m. ET. The Deep Relationship:
President Obama is beginning his comments as you would expect — with words about the long, deep friendship between the U.S. and U.K.
Update at 12:28 p.m. ET. They're Getting Started.
Update at 12:17 p.m. ET. Maybe Soon?
Reporters seem to be in position and White House aides have done some "mic checks," so perhaps we'll be starting momentarily.
Update at 12:06 p.m. ET. Running Late:
The news conference was supposed to get going at 12:05 p.m. ET. But the TV shots from the Rose Garden show that most of the seats are empty where the reporters will be sitting. So things must be running late.

Fedora Weekly News Issue 161
Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 161 for the week ending February 1, 2009.
This week's FWN goodness offers a very special update from the Fonts SIG to bring us up to date on their work leading up to Fedora 11. You may also notice that we are tweaking the wiki formatting to take advantage of the cite module and other features in MediaWiki, and employing User: references for links to named Fedora folk. We'd love to hear your feedback on these changes. Also in this week's intrepid issue details on the upcoming Fedora monthly public meeting, updates on upcoming events with a Fedora presence, and news updates from around the Fedora Planet. In Developments, details on a slight delay to F11 Alpha and Electronic Automation Tools updates. Translation news brings updates from the latest FLP meeting and website translation updates, along with more Fedora 11 plans. A couple brief updates from the Infrastructure Team, including discussion of possible automation of fedora hosted requests. The Artwork beat paints a lovely picture with details on Fedora 11 visual details, and we're brought up to date with the latest security advisories for Fedora 9 and 10. The issue completes with updates from the various virtualization projects, including details on a new libvirt and virt-manager, as well as meaty updates on the Fedora Xen list. Enjoy, everyone!
We are currently looking for a new writer to cover the Fedora Ambassadors for FWN. The work chiefly involves summarizing each's week's traffic on the Fedora Ambassadors' list, and is likely a time committment of perhaps one hour per week.
If you are interested in contributing to Fedora Weekly News, please see our 'join' page[1]. We welcome reader feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com
FWN Editorial Team: Pascal Calarco, Oisin Feeley, Huzaifa Sidhpurwala
In this section, we cover announcements from the Fedora Project.
Contributing Writer: Max Spevack
Fedora Board Meeting
Paul Frields wrote[2] that "the Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 3 February 2009, at 1900 UTC on IRC Freenode."
- Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation. This channel is read-only for non-Board members.
- Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This channel is read/write for everyone.
Tom Callaway announced [1] that "after talking with Red Hat Legal about how we should be handling trademarks in package summaries and descriptions, we came to the conclusion that it would be far easier (and less risky for Red Hat) if we did not use "(TM)" or "(R)" notations at all."
Fedora 11
Fedora 11 Alpha is likely to be delayed for a few days (originally scheduled for February 3) due to a GUI checkbox bug in Anaconda and a problem with nfs-utils that prevented installs over NFS.
See the links [1] [2] [3] below for all the technical details.
Upcoming Events
Fedora will have a presence at several events in the next few weeks. Feel free to join us,
February 6 - 8: Free and Open Source Developers European Meeting (FOSDEM)[1]
February 20 - 22: Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE)[2][3]
Also, people are encouraged to register for Fedora or JBoss.org related speaking slots at LinuxTag 2009.[4]
Contributing Writer: Nicolas Mailhot
Special Report: Fonts SIG
Since Fedora 11 Alpha is quickly approaching, here is a much-delayed edition of the fonts SIG irregular status report. You may recall FWN covered the font surveys in FWN #153[1]. The following special report is largely in addition to that previous report.
I should probably have done one for Fedora 10 release, but (silly me) expected then that the new font packaging guidelines would be adopted quickly. After all, they only reworded existing rules and added material already presented and discussed on the fonts and devel lists.
Of course various instances decided to celebrate F10 by taking a break, then there was some bike-shedding, then we had the Christmas vacations, then FUDCON and more bike-shedding. Live and learn. At least after being hammered to death the result is clear and clean.
Anyway, to the report.
New fonts packaging guidelines
After much anguish and unexpected developments FPC and FESCO approved the complete set of fonts packaging changes that we had submitted.[1]
The end result is:
1) a completed and clarified policy page[2]
2) two new packaging templates[3] [4]
3) a helper package with rpm macros, documentation, plus fontconfig and spec templates[5]
- ↑ https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-January/msg00007.html
- ↑ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy
- ↑ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template
- ↑ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts
- ↑ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package
Distribution-wide font auditing and repackaging
Some innocent repoqueries revealed a distressing number of source packages (>130) that made us ship fonts while completely ignoring our previous fonts packaging guidelines and existing licensing rules. So applying new font guidelines twists quickly turned into distribution-wide operation.
1) Its advancement is now tracked[1]
2) A (long) FAQ was published to help packagers with no fonts experience[2]
3) To make sure documentation, QA and other groups are aware and help implement the changes they've been proposed as a Fedora 11 feature[3]
Wishlist status
Our wishlist stood at 56 entries for last report. It has now reached 76 entries [1]. The current fonts packagers are clearly unable to cope with Fedora demands, fresh blood is needed before it moves into 100+ numbers.
At the same time the respected lwn.net is running a front page article[2] listing more indispensable free or open fonts, some of them being neither in Fedora nor in our wishlist yet.
Volunteers to package those or at least add them to our wishlist are welcome. The free and open font landscape is really moving now, and the quality and breadth of its font offerings is now a distribution differentiator.
Review status
At this time there are no un-reviewed font packages in Fedora bugzilla. However, several reviews have been open for quite a long time with their requesters not acting on review comments.
Please do respond to review comments. Reviewing packages is tedious ungrateful work and getting no response after one is demotivating.
New packages
Ignoring renamings ctan-musixtex-fonts, dustin-dustismo-roman-fonts,dustin-dustismo-sans-fonts, hanazono-fonts, google-droid-sans-fonts, google-droid-sans-mono-font, google-droid-serif-fonts, serafettin-cartoon-fonts, and unikurd-web-font are now available in the repository.
The most user-visible of those are probably the Droid fonts, but Dustimo had been waited for a long time.
Several other fonts previously hidden deep inside apps have now been exposed as part of the ongoing F11 auditing and repackaging. The complete set of changes is documented as usual[1]
Several new packagers worked on those and on other packages not pushed yet and I want to thank them publicly for their contribution to a better Fedora.
Web font surveys
Fedora 10 shipped with an openjdk plugin that should be complete enough to run web font surveys. There is no reason left for Fedora users not to participate in them, and help web designers select fonts that work well with Fedora browsers. Please take the time to contribute to these[1]
Better fonts whiteboard
The desktop team has added a whiteboard page[1] to the wiki to help identify the software changes needed to improve Fedora fonts and text handling.
Please contribute comments and complements to this page to help make Fedora better.
Font autoinstallation
Rumors on IRC are that the feature is advancing fast. Hopefully we'll have finished cleaning up our font packages before they need to be rebuild to add auto-install metadata[1]. Automating this operation requires clean packages free of historic cruft.
And that's all for this issue, thank you for reading it to its end.
Planet Fedora
In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora - an aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide.
Contributing Writer: Adam Batkin
Chris Ball posted[1] a video and brief description of some patches to the Vino
VNC server to support the multiple pointers on X over VNC, so there will be no more fighting over the mouse cursor when connecting into another computer.
Mark J. Wielaard wrote[2] about what he does for a living at Red Hat, including a link to a LWN article that he wrote that provides a high-level overview of Systemtap.
John J. McDonough described[3] some of the upcoming changes to the Fedora Docs project, including its leadership. Karsten Wade chimed in[4] with some more details including some additional history.
Matthew Garrett discussed[5] some of the issues associated with power management under Linux and how "to make it sufficiently useful and inobtrusive that manual configuration is almost never required."
Gary Benson shared[6],[7],[8],[9],[10] a series of articles that he wrote about the internals of Zero
and Shark
(projects which extend OpenJDK
to let it run on new platforms without additional and often cumbersome low-level CPU-specific support).
Martin Sourada developed[11] a set of scripts "which are intended to ease the life of echo-icon artist - they create new icons from template, are able to add icons/symlinks to echo icon theme and add manage their local git repository."
Matthew Daniels mused[12] on the topic of "Social Responsibility" and getting technology out into people's hands everywhere and making all of this social hardware and software accessible.
Jonathan Roberts posted[13],[14] some thoughts about how some of the upcoming major Gnome 3.0
changes might be able to handle things like locating information ("Ubiquitous Search") and saving information automatically.
Richard Hughes created [15] a nice graphical UI front-end for Powertop
Adam Williamson expressed[16] some frustrations with the fact that the drivers for the Intel GMA 500 (Poulsbo) graphics chip (most notably used in the Dell Mini 12) don't seem to compile cleanly or integrate well with anything, and in fact only work on Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
John Palmier proposed[17] "10 thoughts on what is needed for the Linux Desktop to win".

Contributing Writer: Oisin Feeley
Fedora 11 Alpha May Be Delayed
Jesse Keating reported[1] that the Fedora 11 Alpha
release date might slip due to some anaconda
bugs which manifested themselves late in his testing on some architectures. A later post suggested[2] that installation using NFS
was broken and that "[t]his likely means a slip, perhaps only a two day slip, of Alpha." More info to come either later this weekend or early next week. A bugzilla comment[3] from Warren Togami on a side-effect of trying to fix this problem by reverting to an earlier nfs-utils
version warned "People should be aware that NFS as a server in F11 Alpha is broken. That is all." As of going to press on 2009-02-01 there was no further information available.
GCC: Default ISA Flags and Glibc
Jakub Jelinek asked[1] whether the minimum CPU which would run code compiled by Fedora 11's GCC
should be re-evaluated. A follow-on question was whether the minimum supported kernel version in glibc
could be bumped to 2.6.29
. Jakub held out the promise of potentially increased speed and decreased shared library sizes.
A problem raised[2] by Kevin Kofler was that mock
builds would no longer be able to run on older Fedora
releases and that some VPSs would not be able to upgrade at all. Gerd Hoffman agreed[3]: "We just can't make the huge jump from .9 to .29. We have to do it smaller steps, considering kernel versions at least in supported Fedora versions, maybe also latest RHEL."
Josh Boyer seemed[4] to believe that the required mass rebuild with GCC-4.4 would be difficult but possible. Mike McGrath outlined[5] the amount of work which would be needed.
See this same FWN#161 "Dropping Support for i586 Architecture" for a related discussion.

RPM Packagers: Too Many Unowned Directories
Michael Schwendt raised[1] the problem of unowned directories installed as a result of packagers unfamiliar with "how to include files vs. directories in RPM package %files lists."
Colin Walters remembered[2] discussions which had suggested that if RPM
were able to reference count directories there could be a technological fix. Separately Richard W.M. Jones made[3] a similar argument. Panu Matilainen seemed[4] willing to move this task to the top of his queue if it were sufficiently important.

Lack of Update Information
A can of worms was opened[1] by Rahul Sundaram when he noticed that the update information provided by package maintainers was often unhelpful. He cited generic messages of the form "Update foo to upstream x.y.z" as a common problem and wondered if guidelines could improve the situation.
Following some questions Rahul expanded[2] on the problem pointing out that package maintainers had the knowledge to tersely explain what upstream changes implied for ordinary users. He emphasized that he was concerned with the "description that is part of bodhi update and not the changelog which can be very brief."
Chris Weyl put[3] forward the counter-argument that package maintainers had a difficult enough life already.
Richard W.M. Jones wondered[4] if rpm
could be altered to allow it to reference upstream changelogs which could be pulled out by other tools. Panu Matilainen averred[5] that while rpm was alterable Richard's proposed change would just dump the information into the rpm payload and it would thus not be available to users until after they had installed it. Further brainstorming seemed[6] to run into various practical dead ends.
Subsequently Rahul published[7] a draft guideline which fanned the flames back to life. Thorsten Leemhuis asked[8] "Don't we have way [too] many guidelines and policies already? [...] Note that I don't disagree with the text that was proposed. My 2 cent: Put it as text into the wiki somewhere, write "best practices" on top of it (avoid the words "rules" and "guidelines") and add a link to the bodhi UI ("best practices for filling this box with information")." Rahul appeared to agree that this was the best course for the present and deferred to FESCo for the ultimate decision.

Electronic Design Automation Content Without Tools ?
Chitlesh Goorah redirected[1] a debate on Electronic Design Automation (EDA)[2] tools from FESCo to @fedora-devel. Chitlesh is the prime mover behind the Fedora Electronic Lab Spin
[3]. He was concerned that FESCo had decided that packages in the OVM[4] format were barred from Fedora on the grounds that there was no FLOSS tool which could use them although they were licensed acceptably.
Jef Spaleta explained[5] that there were subtle problems in the discussion as "[OVM] is code of some sort. The problem is we don't have a compiler or interpreter that can process the instructions. In the context of Fedora its code that can't be used." Kevin Kofler supplied[6] the appropriate guideline.
Kevin Fenzi expressed[7] appreciation for Chitlesh's work on the Fedora Electronics Lab and asked if there was any use for OVM besides hooking it up with a non-Free simulator? Manuel Wolfshant argued[8] that OVM "is interesting for a subset of the people interested in EDA" and that it should be provided for them. Horst von Brand disliked[9] the idea of mirrors carrying such a little-used package around and suggested that Manuel could just set up his own repository.

Dropping Support for i586 Architecture ?
Following FESCo discussions[1] Bill Nottingham reported[2] that the supported architecture list was going to change. Important changes include building binaries only for i686 and above. There are concerns that older thin clients based on i586 hardware and the AMD Geode-based XO laptops may then be unsupported or unstable. Bill characterized the discussions as a follow-up to the compiler flag discussions (see this same FWN#161"GCC: Default ISA Flags and Glibc") and summarized the main points as:
- install x86.64 kernel on 32-bit OS where appropriate - install PAE kernel on other 32-bit OS installs where appropriate - build only i686 and above for Fedora
Jeremy Katz added[3] anecdotal reassurance that the XO should probably be fine with the i686 kernel and glibc.
Robert Scheck wondered[4] what the definition of "where appropriate" was and what mechanism would be used to make this determination.
Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski predicted[5] "[t]here's going to be some screaming from VIA C3 and AMD K6 users about this." His suggestion was true during an older similar discussion (see FWN#93[6]) in 2007 which concerned plans to drop shipping an i586 kernel. Suggested attempts to compensate by making the i686 kernel bootable on i586 architectures were thwarted as rpm balked at installing a kernel which violated its architecture check. Alan Cox was one of the strongest objectors to the possibility of thus losing support for i586 as he had many thin clients using that architecture. Doubt was cast during that thread as to whether the smolt statistics were believable. However, Alan has recently become an Intel employee (following other ex-Red Hat luminaries David Woodhouse and Arjan van de Ven) and did not contribute to the thread. The smolt
statistics listed[7] on the feature page suggest that there are only 130 i586 users.
Josh Boyer clarified[8] that no decision had yet been made by FESCo and that a vote would take place next week.

Blinking Cursor Wastes Power
Matthew Garrett asked[1] for comments on the idea that the cursor should default to not blinking. The rationale was that several less Watts of power would be consumed.
The suggestion seemed generally popular but Dominik `Rathann' Mierzejewski wished to retain the blinking cursor and expressed[2] a desire for more information on the methodology which Matthew had used. Bill Nottingham reminded[3] that it would still be possible to turn the cursor back on from this new default. Matthew provided[4] some of the requested details.
Matthias Clasen suggested[5] changing a GTK
setting which disables cursor blinking after a timeout. Josh Boyer worried[6] about other desktop environments and vttys.

This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Translation (L10n) Project.
Contributing Writer: Runa Bhattacharjee
FLP Meeting held on 27th January 2009
The first meeting of FLP for the year 2009[1] was held on 2009-01-27 at 18:00 UTC. The discussion centered[2] around the current bugs and issues being faced by the L10n infrastructure.
Website Translation Process Update
Ricky Zhou reminded[1] the list about the requirement of notification to be sent to the fedora-websites team for the inclusion of translations for a new language. It is to be noted, that for new languages the relevant language code is also required to be added to the LINGUAS file. However, the notification sent to the fedora-websites team ensures that the apache configuration is modified to activate the translations for the new language.
System-Config-Printer branch 1.1.x to be used for Fedora 11
Tim Waugh announced[1] that the branch 1.1.x of System-Config-Printer is to be used for submitting translations. This branch has been activated for submission on translate.fedoraproject.org by Dimitris Glezos. Additionally, the obsolete branches for System-Config-Printer have been removed[2] from the submission interface.
Fedora 11 Release Schedule Plans
John Poelstra has drafted[1] the Documentation and Translation Schedules for the upcoming Fedora 11 Release. The Translation Schedule has been based upon the Documentation Schedule. FLSCo member Noriko Mizumoto provided[2] feedback from the FLP about the Translation Schedule. Earlier during the week, Dimitris Glezos attended[3] the Fedora 11 Alpha Readiness Meeting.
Anaconda bug due to UTF characters
Ville Pekka Vainio mentioned the presence of a bug[1] in Anaconda caused[2] by the presence of UTF-8 characters more than 2 bytes wide. As a result the translated interface is damaged.
L10n Infrastructure Roadmap Proposal
In response to the earlier discussions about the problems faced by the L10n infrastructure, Asgeir Frimannsson sent[1] in a proposal for a review roadmap of the current infrastructure[11]. He explained that based upon the outcome of this discussion, further plans can be determined about restructuring the infrastructure.
New Member in FLP
Daniele joined[1] the Italian translation team in the FLP this week.

Automating hosted projects?
Paul W. Frields asked[1] on the @fedora-infrastructure-list if it was possible to automate the creation of projects on the fedorahosted.org site. Since some potential contributors may need more immediate results and not wait for an admin to create the project.
To this Seth Vidal replied[2] that a part of the benefit of this being manual is that the admin can do a bit of sanity check before the project is created.
CSI (Security Policy)
Mike McGrath said[1] on the @fedora-infrastructure-list that he had put the security policy CSI docs in the standard place[2]

Fedora 11 Visual Concepts
With the first milestone[1] for the Fedora 11 visual concept closing on February 1st, Máirín Duffy posted[2] on @fedora-art a first mockup "I'm thinking maybe somewhere more mountainous with some mists, and with some vines/plants growing up the columns with some sunbeams on them", which was warmly received by the rest of the team, which opted still for a more lively image, as Luya Tshimbalanga put it[3] "I think of desolation when I see that image with a ruins from old Greek temple (tend to get bored so easily) and a very dry land. That picture would mean Fedora after collapse. Greece is famous with its olive field so the land needs to be green. I see mountain that look like Olympia and the sky appears to be a god/goddess land. That image needs to be live, not dead."
Following this "lively" concept, Konstantinos Antonakoglou came[4] with a photographic collage "I just want to point out the main concept, which is the combination of ancient Greece and nature (water, mountains with a lot of green)" and Bill Nottingham advanced the idea of using photographs[5] "is it possible/should we look for a full photo (appropriately licensed) that can be used?"
At the same time, Samuele Storari tried[6] a different concept in the same Grecian spirit "For this theme I try to work on the Spartan 'Leonidas' idea, I work on the Acient Helm so we don't have discussion on violence or other not connected idea."

Fedora Virtualization List
This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-virt list.
Fedora Virt Status Update
True to his word, Mark McLoughlin posted[1] another weekly update on the status of virtualization development in Fedora. Some highlights included:
- F11 Alpha Blockers - Workaround found for "unsynchronized TSC" issue[2] which caused guests on certain hosts to hang or crash.
- New release of
coming very soon. It's out now. - The KVM PCI Device Assignment[3] feature for F11 "received a very positive reception from FESCo", and "basic device assignment seems to be working."
- "Related to PCI device assignment are Intel VT-d issues that have been reported recently. Basically, on some machines ... VT-d support is causing serious [problems] and, in one case, data loss."
- New F11 feature page created for
.[4] "sVirt integrates SELinux with the Fedora virtualization stack". - New patches from Jeremy Fitzhardinge reduce the overhead of enabling paravirt_ops on bare-metal by 75% in testing.
- Bug count climbed from 186 to 191.
Fedora Xen List
This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-xen list.
Xen Users Future on Fedora
Evan Lavelle might have struck a nerve when wondering[1] if those who have invested years in xen
on Fedora have been "shafted". "Xen
isn't flavour of the month around here, but I assumed there were good reasons for that. Now, rather belatedly, I've found" that Red Hat acquired Qumranet and KVM
Neil Thompson thought[3] not. "Shafted?...I don't think so. We're just in a blip at the moment." Neil pointed out that "RHEL5, which has a number of years left, includes xen - I don't think
Red Hat are going to mess their corporate clients around by removing it. The problem with F8 is that the kernel
people could no longer drag an obsolete (2.6.21) kernel
around just for xen, and decided to concentrate on helping get it into the mainstream kernel
. This[4] has taken longer than expected."
Jan ONDREJ was also concerned[5] that, "KVM
is still not a replacement for paravirtualized machines and I think fully virtualized KVM
will be slower like a paravirtualized XEN."
Richard W.M. Jones countered[6]
is a great replacement for Xen
. It's much easier to use for a start -- no more rebooting into a completely separate kernel
hypervisor. As long as you have the virtio
drivers in the guest, which is the default for all new Linux distros, performance is roughly the same."
Apropos to the topic, but on another list, Mark McLoughlin explained[7]
"Para-virtualization isn't always better. KVM
uses full virtualization, meaning that it uses the processor's support for virtualization. This means you can run an unmodified guest OS on KVM
If you can modify the guest OS, then KVM
does allow you to use paravirtualization for some performance sensitive operations - so e.g. we've got pvclock
, pv MMU and virtio
Don't get tied up in marketing terminology - try both and decide for yourself which works best for you."
Support for dom0 is targeted[8] for kernel
2.6.29, but the changelogs[9] for the release candidates don't seem to indicate completion yet.
Gerd Hoffmann confirmed[10] that "...most of the dom0 stuff missed the boat. Some prelimary stuff might be in though..." adding that "The pv_ops/dom0 kernel has some not-yet debugged storage issues (disk controller either fails after a while or doesn't work at all), which is the major stumbling block right now."
Daniel P. Berrange, of Red Hat Engineering, detailed the history of Xen
on Fedora and explained "while it is definitely unfortunate that we don't have a Xen
Dom0 kernel in Fedora 9/10, we are *not* trying to shaft anyone & will re-introduce Xen
Dom0 kernels to Fedora when they become available." ... "It [is] still hard to say just when these will be accepted upstream, but there is a semi-reasonable [chance] we'll be able to turn Xen
Dom0 back on in Fedora 11 kernels."[11]

Migrating Xen DomU to KVM Guest
Talk of the future of Xen
on Fedora led to talk of migrating
guests to KVM
. Fortunately, migrating a virtual machine from Xen
to KVM
is straight forward. Well, more or less.
Richard W.M. Jones explained[1]
"Install a recent Linux kernel in the guest, adjust the [libvirt] configuration file, and reboot."
Alternatively, xenner
will enable running "the Xen
PV guest unchanged (ie. without installing a new guest kernel)."
- Ensure the guest
is new enough to supportvirtio
network drivers (kernel
>= 2.6.25) - change the domain <type>, <os>, and <emulator> fields[2] - '
virsh edit <domname>
' - "tell[3] the host to give the guest a
network card - change the NIC<model type='virtio'/>
Richard finally noted[4] "For newly installed guests, recent anaconda just works everything out for you and puts the correct drivers into initrd
." Mark McLoughlin provided the mkinitrd
command to build the appropriate initrd
in existing guests: 'mkinitrd --with virtio_pci --with virtio_blk -f /boot/initrd-$(kernelversion) $(kernelversion)
' "You only need to do this once. After that, if a new kernel is installed while you're booted off a virtio disk, then mkinitrd will include the modules automatically."
Emre Erenoglu noted[5]
"You will also need to specify /dev/vdX
on the kernel root=
line and make sure your init script inside your initrd
triggers the virtio drivers at boot so that the /dev/vdX
are created."
Mark McLoughlin added[6] a caveat. "the F9 x86_64 xen kernel didn't have support for running 32 bit binaries like grub, so the bootloader would never have been installed into the MBR. That works fine for pygrub, but not with KVM's real BIOS."
