poweroff does not turn off the system
by Stefan Hoelldampf
Hi,
At least the following four bugs seem to describe the same problem:
Bug 132761 "2.6.8 poweroff always fails"
Bug 134183 "When exiting the system, the system no longer powers down."
Bug 135218 "acpi_power_off doesn't turn off HP Pavillion ZE4201"
Bug 136673 "shutdown fails - last message: acpi_power_off called"
The last output is
Power down.
acpi_power_off called
but the power is not turned off.

Regards,

Paralell startup
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
I am hearing much good from the gentoo camp about paralell startup, and
how it brings down boot times to about 30 secounds. Is this possible to
do with fedora as well?

Messages to List - please don't reply to start
by Michael A. Peters
There seem to be a number of e-mails sent to the lists that are new
messages but are sent as a reply to other messages - like people are
choosing the "reply to" option, and then just replacing the subject
with something new and then putting something new in the body.
Please do not do this. Add the appropriate mailing list to your address
book and start a new message.
When a message comes from the list, there is a header with a message ID
in it. The header is called Message-ID.
When you reply, your mail client sends the message specifying that it
is in response to that Message-ID.
This means that people who use e-mail clients that offer a threaded
view, your message will end up looking like a response to a message
rather than a completely new message. The result is that less people
will see your message, because some will not be interested in the
particular e-mail you responded to to create your message, resulting in
them not bothering to look at responses.
It also is a pain for those who are eager to see responses to a
particular thread, because then your completely different message shows
up in there.
With both Evolution and Balsa, and I assume with kmail too, it is
trivial to add the mailing list to your address book. If you are having
trouble doing so with your mail client, a question to the Fedora Users
list can help out.

[off-topic] Thanks Red Hat and others
by Féliciano Matias
http://nosoftwarepatents.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2
Many Thanks ;-)
FC3 is nice as expected.
- Linux 2.6 is _incredible_, getting better and better (it sucks when
burning CD, I should investigate).
- udev/hal/g-v-m is a must have. Amassing how it get improved during FC3
test.
- Gnome 2.8 is ... well, you know : "Just works", as I like.
- ext3 is rock solid as usual, faster and got online resizing capability.
- yum : faster (or less slower :-))
- many other pieces of software (I don't have the skin to comment).
- ...
I am _very_ happy with FC3. And all is free(dom).
Thanks all !
Sure it's an off-topic message but I feel better now :-)

[OT] Skeleton at the (fedora-extras-announce-list) moderator's keyboard ;p
by Greg Houlette
I apologize in advance for adding to your e-mail load.
> Your mail to 'fedora-extras-announce-list' (@redhat.com)
[...]

How long should this normally take?
Could someone kick the Moderator under the table?
---
This list is mentioned in the Fedora Wiki as the place to post new
(extras) package announcements.
I know that the list is active because I can subscribe to it, but the
archives are empty:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-announce-list/
This list is moderated, so is there a warm body assigned?
The old list at:
http://www.fedora.us/pipermail/fedora-package-announce/
hasn't seen any traffic since mid August (AFAICT), so it seems like
Fedora extras package announcements are in a 'Black Hole', unless
there is another list somewhere that I don't know about yet.
What's up?
I have a new extras package that I want to announce (rkhunter) so that
it can get some valuable run-time on a larger population of users.

touching anything else removes the QAContact person?

Because the amount of code changed upstream since your
last report means this might be fixed.
Bugs that get no replies doesn't mean no-one is listening.[*]
