Compiz vs. OpenGL using programs
by Ralf Ertzinger
Hi.
Before I start filing bugs: is it expected that using compiz while running
applications that use OpenGL themselves results in funny display programs?
Or is this supposed to work and not doing so is a driver bug?

FC6, 2.6.19-1.2895, and suspend
by Joshua Baker-LePain
It seems that the the upgrade to 2.6.19 has killed suspend for some folks
on FC6 (BZ #223731). On my Thinkpad Z61t, the panel goes dark and then
the moon symbol starts blinking and never stops (I have to hard reset it).
The last entry in the log is:
kernel: Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
For grins, I tried the PAE kernel, but it appears to just ignore
pm-suspend. What other information would be helpful in tracking this
down?
Thanks.

FC6 on a HP DC7700
by Gianluca Sforna
Hi all,
I just put my hands on a shiny HP DC7700, a Core 2 Duo based PC, but I
can't boot the installer because it hangs right after detecting
keyboard and mouse (PS/2)
Does anyone experienced similar issues?
googling around I already find some (scary...) info, and tried w/o
luck booting with acpi=off (boot, but it seems like hanging on every
screen, then eventually go on with the next after some minutes!),
noapic and nolapic.
any help appreciated
Cheers

"yum update" failure and resulting cleanup headaches.
by Naoki
This question seems to come up a lot. And the fedora-list usually has
somebody asking how to recover from it. When 'yum' fails for whatever
reason there will be some part of the 'cleanup' phase left undone. At
which point the manual repair of the RPM DB needs to take place, a long
and tedious task. At best even if you have the procedure as a (almost)
single command line, it can be annoying.
Any official plans to have yum gracefully recover from a failed update?

tmp cleanup
by Ron Johnson
Hello,
I've not contributed directly to Fedora before, but have a small change
I'd like to make. I think this is the place to find out more about
doing that.
I'd like a hook in rc.sysinit to do local /tmp cleanup on boot. I
already do things like this all the time on my system, but:
1. Every time I update, if the original file changed, and is updated,
the update is rpmsave (or similar), and I then need to compare
versions every time.
2. Every time I reinstall (usually once a year) I have to go back an
re-edit a core system file (and then see (1) above sometime later).
3. I think others have messy /tmp directories too.
The change to rc.sysinit is these three lines (although it would have to
be different if merged into the distribution, this is just what's in
mine now):
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/tmpcleanup ]; then
/usr/local/bin/tmpcleanup
fi
* The file 'tmpcleanup' merely creates a subdirectory in /tmp, based
on the date/time, and moves everything currently in tmp into the
new dir.
* Exceptions are that it doesn't move files that appear to be prior
dirs cleaned up already with tmpcleanup.
* Again, nothing gets deleted, only moved, but it's easy to tell
what files are almost certainly not needed anymore.
* The script (only?) runs at system boot.
At least it helps me keep /tmp clean, or at least less cluttered.
Now, having said all that, I'd be happy to submit the tmpcleanup script
(perl), I'd be happy to submit the changes to rc.sysinit, but how should
I go about doing that?
I've not used CVS before, I don't know how to build RPM's. I just run
my system, and help with others, and thought I'd see about submitting a
small change that helps me out.
My suspicion is that the best thing is to submit a change so that a
directory is created, called "rc.sysinit.d" in /etc/rc.d, and in the
rc.sysinit dir, create subdirectories that are called (much like rc1.d,
etc) at certain points. For instance, have a hook that is called when
local filesystems are mounted.
But I might be getting ahead of myself with that.
My aim is to have one less thing to customize when I re-do a system.
Comments?

Dump (backup utility) in FC-7 will be linked dynamically
by Adam Tkac
Hi all,
I'm going to ship dump backup utility in FC-7 only in dynamically linked
version (now dump is statically linked). Is here anybody who is against
this change? If you have arguments against this change I'm ready to
discuss it. Next possible solution could be dump & dump-static packages.
