sniff - It doesn't know me anymore..
by Bob Gustafson
I did some things and then rebooted
It went through the module/application stage of the reboot very quickly
(too quickly) and I now have
Fedore Core release Rawhide (Rawhide)
Kernel 2.6.8-1.610smp on an i686
(none) login:
I typed in all of the usual suspects (root, user1, ..), but none are known.
Even when I type in 'none', it doesn't know him either.
What did I do?
I was a bit annoyed that it was wanting me to do an 'e2fsck'. A couple of
days ago, I was able to 'umount /boot' and do '/sbin/e2fsck -p /dev/sda1'
and similar on all of the partitions except '/'. Doing 'umount /' was not
successful (busy, busy) and I could not do e2fsck without umounting that
partition.
However, there was a lazy umount option 'umount -l /'
This completed fine - no busy busy complaints.
But, when I went to do '/sbin/e2fsck -p /dev/sda2' on the '/' partition -
it still said it was mounted and that terrible things would happen if I
continued.
Can you imagine that? I already had 'umount'ed it, lazy whatever. So I went
ahead and did the e2fsck.
And, terrible things did happen.
-----
I really did need to download the latest FC2 test release iso disks - and
do the i2o driver installs...

When back to kernel -610, last kernel version before -624. Evo is working
again. Thanks for the tip. This is in bugzilla #136110 for evolution.
Although the kernel people might need to see this.

Request: gtkhtml3 and libgal2 compatability libs
by Michael A. Peters
If possible, I would like to see a fedora developer maintain the FC2
versions of gtkhtml3 and libgal2 packaged in Fedora Stable as
compatability libraries for software (such as gnomesword) that has not
yet been updated for the newer versions of those libraries.
It would be trivial to do - the library and devel packages do not
conflict with the newer versions that FC3T3 has. I'm guessing at most
all that needs to be done is changing the package name to compat-name
(I suppose even that isn't necessary, how smart is yum and apt-get with
respect to different versions of package with same name?)
I suspect there aren't many apps that need them, and they will no doubt
be ported to the newer versions, but I would like to see them in Fedora
Stable if for nothing else than compatability reasons.
The relative FC2 packages (that I'm requesting) are:
libgal2-1.99.11-1.src.rpm
gtkhtml3-3.0.10-1.src.rpm
Both of which build and install fine in FC3T3 as is (but the naming
might cause update issues, I don't know)

Re: Weird excruciating slowness of FC3t3
by Jan Vestby
I saw the same on my old toshiba laptop (coppermine, 600MHz with speedstep).
The install ran at approximately 1/8 of normal speed according to x86info.
However, with the latest kernel (624) everything was back to normal.
Most kernels since t2 seem to be affected.

What's up with norwegian translation of Fc3-t3? And gnome?
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Finally i found the time to install test 3. And as i live in norway, i
prefer having norwegian instead of english on my desktop. The gnome
Norwegian bokmål translations are definatly better than the windows
ones! (which where so bad that i ran it in english...)
So i install fc3t3. Select "norvegian" from anacondas list, and next
next next etc.
But when i get to choose what default language i want, it only gives me
english (us). Hmm... i DID chose norwegian, right? Check norwegian. And
then firstboot comes up. In English (hey, i DID select norwegian as my
def. language, right? (not quite shure there, but...). scribble it down
on the sheet of "bugs found in anaconda" i have in front of me (very
usefull tool when testing to have a pen and some paper. Find some bugs,
bugzilla'em. Log in to gnome. english? And my clock is showing a PM
time, not a 24 hr one... Whats happening? I thougth that was bound to
L10n, not i18n? And i DID select norway, Oslo?
Another thing: why is my gnome so ugly? I hoped for a nice, two-panel
thing, and get a one panel thing that looks halfway bluecurved? (brown
home folder icon etc. isnt that the same as upstream gnome, not
bluecurve?)

Weird excruciating slowness of FC3t3
by Rui Miguel Silva Seabra
Okay, after the scare subject, I warn:
1) installed on a Pentium II, 350Mhz with 128 MB of memory was usable
2) installed on a Pentium III, 500Mhz laptop with 512 MB of memory was
UNUSABLE
Get the weird part? Both of them were pretty normal installations. Disks
wiped clean with LVM, SELinux on.
There were no error messages at all. None whatsoever.
The laptop in question is a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280.
Since my gf needed her computer working, I decided to just try a recent
Ubunto installation. It was way faster than FC2 ever was on it, even
though the desktop is also GNOME 2.8. However, it doesn't include
SELinux or LVM support for / .
I'd like to go back to FC3 on that laptop when it comes, but I can't
perpetually test it that hard, how can I give more information that
might prevent such weird things to happen again?
I have free space enough for a parallel installation, but it will never
be the same as a default Workstation...

DHCPv6 in Fedora Core
by Pekka Savola
Hi,
I noticed that DHCPv6 was added to Fedora Core a couple of months ago.
Sorry for not bringing this up then.
I took a quick look at how it has been integrated in the initscripts,
and the DHCPv6 src.rpm itself.
Two major comments and one justification why this needs to be done
now:
1) the 'License' tag in the RPM is 'GPL', while the project has been
(partially) ported from KAME's 3-clause BSD license. I.e., this is
critically incorrect because it's not even compatible with GPL, and
the tag should probably be 'BSD-like', because the advertising clause
is in there.
(Note: I think the source could use some updates, as well, because
KAME's version has seen significant developer activity, while this has
been recently quiet -- but this isn't a 'critical path' problem.)
2) I'd like to ask what those major customers who have been asking
for DHCPv6 (as stated as the reason for including it) have been
requesting: have they asked for DHCPv6 support for 1) address
assignment, or DHCPv6 support for 2) configuring information (e.g.,
DNS or SIP servers) on their [v6-only] systems?
Following up from that, I think an important use for 2) would be to
run DHCPv6 in so-called 'stateless' mode, where no addresses are
obtained at all (for example, this is the only mode supported by KAME)
-- because the addresses can be obtained using stateless address
autoconfiguration as well.
Thus, I'd like to see if that could/should be integrated in the
initscripts.
So, I'd like to integrate both the 'information-only' ('-I' toggle)
and 'full' DHCPv6 in the initscripts level. One way to do that would
have 'DHCPV6C=' take two arguments: 'YES' and 'FULL'. YES would call
dhcpv6c with -I toggle, full without it.
(FWIW, just for simplicity, I'd rename that to DHCPV6 or just DHCP6.)
Thoughts?
3) Q: Why this should be done now, rather late in the FC3 development
process?
A: this is the first release where this feature is introduced. One
doesn't need to worry about backwards compat issues yet. If this is
postponed to FC4, introducing this logical separation might become
quite challenging.
