What is the status of firewire support on FC2-devel? It is quite worrying
it seems to be retrogressing ever since 2.4.21 was released (first
requiring rescan-scsi-bus.sh, and now this). Is there any possibility of
shipping a 2.4 kernel in addition to 2.6 for FC2 final?

Has anyone run into a similar problem? Bugzilla has nothing to say on
that - I'll probably file a report tomorrow.
Thanks,

gconfd-2 does not exit when a user log out, breaks unmounting home
by W. Michael Petullo
I have been having some trouble with gconfd-2 (currently using GConf2-2.4.0
from RawHide PPC) for quite some time. I tried to get some discussion going
on Red Hat's Bugzilla quite a while ago but nothing really came of it. I'd
be willing to work on a patch, but I'd like to come to consensus on the
technique we should use to fix the problem. I thought perhaps I would try
this forum.
The gconfd-2 daemon is run by many GNOME applications to manage
configurations. Gconfd-2 remains running for some time after the application
which used it quits. This allows other applications to use gconfd-2 without
having to start and stop the daemon too much. This is a good idea.
The problem comes when a system tries to unmount a user's home directory when
the user logs out. For example, pam_mount unmounts an encrypted home
directory then I log out of my system. Other people use NFS or other means
to mount home directories.
Gconfd-2 continues to run even when a user logs out. This causes the
unmounting of the user's home directory to fail because gconfd-2 keeps the
following files open:
/home/user/.gconfd/saved_state
In addition, when using GNOME 2.4, there are four new programs that seem to
hang around unwelcome for a second after logging out (at least they are still
around when PAM session closing code is run). This is partially documented
in bug #106826. The four programs are:
bonobo-activation-server (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
gnome-settings-daemon (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
xscreensaver -nosplash (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
mapping-daemon (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
Red Hat Bugzilla bugs #67605, #75895 and #106826 comment more on this
problem.

Very OT: The Most Important Question
by Chris Gray
So, when do we get to buy new Fedora baseball caps like the wicked black
low-profile Shadowman caps that Redhat sells? And what manner of Open Source
project doesn't have cool t-shirts?
Who's in charge of procuring and selling schwag? I will volunteer if the job
isn't already filled. Seriously.

gpg keys in FC2 test 1
by Trever L. Adams
I don't know if I have a bug in my local system or what. However, every
few days my public keyring seems to be erased. Even _my_ public keys
are going away and I am having to redownload them.
Is anyone else seeing this? I am not sure how to verify if this is a
local install problem, or what.
Thanks for any help.

Fixing the numlock problem
by Dax Kelson
As I mentioned earlier (and got no responses on). SUSE does the right
thing in respect to the numlock key. The default behavior on SUSE is to
follow the BIOS.
To check the BIOS setting, SUSE use the command hwinfo. I'm wondering if
that functionality could be added to kudzu? Both hwinfo and kudzu are
GPL.
The source can be obtained here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/src/hwinfo-7.30-32.src.rpm
Here is how it is pieced together:
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard
:::::::::::
#
# NumLock on? ("yes" or "no" or empty or "bios" for BIOS setting)
KBD_NUMLOCK="bios"
:::::::::::
/etc/init.d/kbd
:::::::::::
elif test "$KBD_NUMLOCK" = "bios"; then
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --bios|grep -q 'Num Lock: on'
:::::::::::
I'm wondering if that functionality could be added to kudzu? Both hwinfo
and kudzu are GPL.
The source can be obtained here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/src/hwinfo-7.30-32.src.rpm
Incidentally, on my system 'hwinfo --bios' produces the following
