Rawhide update problem
by James Morris
I just tried to update an x86_64 box to the latest rawhide (from FC2test
something), and got the following:
Kernel Updated/Installed, checking for bootloader
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ?
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 375, in main
File "/usr/share/yum/pkgaction.py", line 588, in kernelupdate
ImportError: No module named checkbootloader
Any clues on how to fix this?

hal-device-manager crashing
by Marcus Schuetz
hal-device-manager is crashing for me with the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hal-device-manager", line 12, in ?
from DeviceManager import DeviceManager
File "/usr/share/hal/device-manager/DeviceManager.py", line 6, in ?
import dbus
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus.py", line 44, in ?
import dbus_bindings
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus_bindings.so:
undefined symbol: dbus_message_iter_get_object_path
Exit 1
I have the following hal & dbus related packages installed:
hal-gnome-0.4.0-2
hal-cups-utils-0.5.2-6
hal-0.4.0-2
hal-devel-0.4.0-2
dbus-devel-0.22-10
dbus-x11-0.22-10
dbus-python-0.22-10
dbus-glib-0.22-10
dbus-0.22-10
My system seems to be wonky anyway, so I wanted to check if anybody has
a solution or has seen this as well before I go to bugzillaland.
Thanks,

hotplug doesn't work on kernels >= 2.6.7
by Angelo
Hi all.
I've fedora core 2 installed on my desktop and laptop.
I've noticed that with kernels (smp and non) >= 2.6.7 hotplugging
(linux-hotplug.sf.net) doesn't work at all on my desktop, on the laptop
works fine.
I mean that if i plug-in a usb device with the successfully booted
machine it simply doesn't recognize at all that i've plugged in the device:
- NO /var/log/messages after i plug-in
- NO /sbin/hotplug call
- NO debug messages on a full kernel log
- NO strange messages in the dmesg (when booting)
- NO new device using /sbin/lsusb
Simply nothing strange.
Cold-plugging works fine, I mean plug-in the device and the boot the
machine.
Is there some way to diagnosticate better the issue and report here or
in bugzilla the results ?
HW info of the victim box:
- P4P800 Deluxe mobo
- Pentium 4 2.8 HT
- 1GB of DDR RAM
usb devices tried:
- pendrive
- hp printer
- usb mouse
All these devices work fine with kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3

Angelo

Isn't current GNOME a little too buggy?
by Matthias Saou
Hi,
Sorry to post a message with a subject that seems to be typical troll, but
I've been quite annoyed at many "little things" in the past few days while
using GNOME. These are the typical annoyances that one would expect to be
ironed out before a final release... here are a few :
- My nautilus throbber is no longer all the way to the right, it's next to
the "Computer" icon in a typical window.
- Mounting and unmounting without going through nautilus doesn't seem to be
picked up (gamin's fault?) properly, and this leads to major nautilus
confusion.
- Removing files from my ~/Desktop in a terminal isn't instantly reflected
on the desktop anymore (gamin again?)
- When copying files, there is now an estimated remaining time displayed...
I've seen it go all the way down to 0:00 as expected, but drop below and go
nuts with incredibly high values from there for a few seconds... couldn't
find a way to reliably reproduce it, though.
- When I click on my CD-ROM in computer:/// it gets mounted and I see its
content, but instantly, another redundant nautilus window with the CD-ROM's
content pops-up (I'm not using the spatial view).
- I got some weird panel crashing issues more than once, but I couldn't
track them down.
- The totem/gstreamer player really needs some bugfixing AFAICT, as by
dragging and dropping some videos on it, I manage to get it to open a
second window with the new video (this is definitely not wanted!), and
often also see a tiny separate window for fractions of a second next to the
main window before it disappears when the video then starts playing in the
main window.
And my number one, which has been here for a while : Why do when I create a
symlink to /data on my desktop, I go to the "/home/me/Desktop/data" address
in nautilus by clicking on it (it doesn't expand to /data), whereas when I
go into computer:/// and enter/mount my CD-ROM I get directed to
/mnt/cdrom, thus clicking the "up" button doesn't get me back to
computer:///? For me :
1) Those two behaviors don't seem consistent one with the other.
2) It's annoying since all my files under /data get thumbnailed twice, when
I access them through both possible paths. (with all my photos, I had a
350MB ~/.thumbnails at one point)
Sorry for the bit*hing, I could (should) probably report those upstream,
but can't spare enough time right now and prefer investing it in checking
Fedora specific stuff anyway... and just got annoyed above my usual average
with the past few day's mediocre "desktop experience". I also fear what
it'll be like in FC3 final.

wrong extension dragging tar.bz2 files from evolution to firefox download manager
by Rodd Clarkson
If I drag a url that downloads a tar.bz2 file (and presumably a tar.gz
file too) from evolution (and probably elsewhere) to the filefox browser
window, the file downloads as I would expect.
However, if I drag the same file to the download manager window for
firefox, it appends a .tar on the end of the file name.
Here's a trial URL:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-session/2.8/gnome-session-2....
Note: you don't need to download the file to see that the filenames are
wrong.
Is anyone else seeing this, and where should I file the bug?
Is this a firefox bug, or something that's happened in the modifications
upstream for fedora core 3?

Is there a bugzilla for this problem?
It appears that all these rpm %post scriptlet failures are making are
mess of the systems that try to update with SElinux and strict policy.
Also, since yum is no longer producing a log file it is hard to
determine which packages have been affected.
