Gnome-games - Blackjack
by Clifford Snow
I just installed the updates to beta 2 - blackjack, in gnome-games,
doesn't run. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I'll submit a
bug if so.
Thanks,

First experiences with fedora 0.94
by Thomas Vander Stichele
Hi,
here are my first experiences and problems with 0.94. Some of these
were also in 0.93.
a) installer doesn't respect keyboard choice
b) firstboot doesn't respect keyboard choice
c) my fedora splash (the gnome splash screen) was blocking for a very
long time on evolution-alarm-notify
d) I have NO MENUS. NO MENUS at all. I have no idea why. Does anyone
know what I can run to recreate them ?
e) For some reason, the heads of my Matrox 550 card are switched
around. I have no idea why this is; my first head (the one with xv) is
now on the right, the second on the left, and I see no way in my X
config of turning this around. Any clues here would be appreciated.
For now I've switched Leftof to Rightof in the server layout. This
makes my screens line up correctly, but the right head is the
"preferred" one; it gets the gdm login screen, the panel, and so on. If
I go back to my RH9 install, the left screen will again be head 0.
If I move the panel in my fedora beta install to the left, it will be on
the right in my regular rh9 install. Very confusing and irritating :)
f) the redhat-config-xfree86 "multihead" tab is funny.
I think a) and b) are pretty critical, and they have bugs in bugzilla,
but it seems to be non-obvious (something about the alternate X server
using the special framebuffer lib not respecting xbg and the file system
being readonly at that time...
Where do I start in getting these fixed before release ?

Graphical boot loaders: Fedora vs Mandrake
by Nicholas Marsh
It would be nice if Fedora's graphical boot incorporated the information from the text boot like Mandrake does.
Any chance of that happening?
Thanks.

Desktop Entry ?
by Mark Guzzo
Hello all,
I'm trying to add an SMB icon to my desktop and I keep running into a
BRICK wall. I've search Google and the freedesktop.org site, but have
not found any examples on how to do this.
Freedesktop.org is full of some very good info, just that the parts I
wanted to see are missing.
Here is my test.desktop file so far
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=FSDevice

FSType=smbfs

X-GNOME-DocPath=

Comment[en_US]=NETOPS on SHSINTRANET
Any ideas?
TIA

Problems after actualization
by Santiago Erquicia
This morning I updated my computer. It was some kernel, XFree, gdm,
mozilla and I don't remember what else.
Now, when I reboot it always says something like a greeter crashed and
it is going to try another one. It seems that the problem is with gdm.
Anyone can confirm this?

today's beta2 updates
by Andre Robatino
The beta2 updates channel is available, and this morning the first batch
of updates came out. Good news: with the new version metacity-2.6.2-1, the
window sticking bug appears gone. Bad news: The new mozilla-1.4.1-0 hangs,
Konqueror runs normally on the CNN Web site but hangs when I try to go to
the bugzilla web site. I can see the redirected https:// URL in the window,
but it never has a chance to load. The bug probably resides below both
browsers. It happens when running either the original 2061 or today's 2082
kernel. Are other people experiencing this, and any ideas where it's
coming from?

text vs. graphical boot
by Andre Robatino
This is probably a dumb question, but how do I get back the text boot
while preserving the graphical login? Also, I noticed that the shutdown is
still text-based (that is, when I can actually see the messages, often only
the last few are visible - this has been an intermittent problem for years).
Shouldn't both startup and shutdown be the same type, for symmetry?

Where's the Fedora?
by Dave Stubbs
Prime Importance:
The "Red Hat" button in the bottom left of the GUI needs to be changed
to a Sherlock Holmes styled brown hounds-tooth pattern fedora.
