Adrian's up2date - GREAT but...
by RaXeT
So thanks to Adrian on all the "up2date" configuring.
Now the 64 million dollar question is to get gnome-up2date to do the same.
Anyone?
Thanks,

Rhythmbox?
by Epps, Aaron M.
Just curious if there are any plans to include Rhythmbox in any future releases of Red Hat? IMHO, XMMMS is starting to look old and I think Rhythmbox conforms more to the Gnome HIG. I know it was included in the RH 8.0 Betas as a optional package and then removed.

Naughty Hardware: CompUSA Optical USB Notebook Mouse
by Warren Togami
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1077
This is a Linux hardware consumer advisory.
The "CompUSA Optical USB Notebook Mouse" looks cute with its small size,
USB interface and mouse wheel, but it violates USB specifications and is
currently inoperative in Linux as a result. Read the above Bugzilla
report for technical details.
If anyone is connected to CompUSA, please encourage management to pull
this defective hardware and fix it with a revision.
Don't be careless like me and purchase three, open them all, only to
discover that they don't work in Linux.

Re: Applications slow to start up
by Matthew Winter
Hi,
Well I have found out what was causing the slow down.
Seems to be the NVidia graphics driver. Once I changed it back to the
one provided as part of the Beta "nv", rather than the one from the
NVidia website, the performance of applications starting seems to have
gone back to how it should be.
Thanks for all your comments.
Regards
Matthew

Re: Applications slow to start up
by Matthew Winter
Hi,
I did run top before, and nothing is showing up as chewing up CPU
cycles. In fact most things are running at less than 0.1% during the
startup of the application. When evolution finally starts, it increases
to about 50%, while it loads all of the folder information.
The only real thing I noticed, is that no matter what I started
"magicdev" seemed to kick in for about 2 seconds.
I have rebooted the machine without any difference. In fact it can be
worse when you have just booted. Leaving the machine for about 1 hour
seems to improve the overall performance of applications starting.
Thanks
Matthew

Applications slow to start up
by Matthew Winter
Hi,
For about the past 3-4 days, all applications started within Gnome, such
as Ximian Evolution, Mozilla etc seem to take about 15 - 20 seconds to
launch. This was not the case when I first installed the RHL beta. In
fact I thought the application startup was far faster than RHL 9 was.
What could cause such a slow down?
I have not installed any applications in the past 2 weeks, as most of
what I require is present in the base installation.
Any assistance on this would be most grateful.
Regards

kernel 2.6 with severn
by RaXeT
I enabled in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to grab arjan's kernel 2.6.
I'm getting the following error on up2date after selecting all (kernel,
kernel-doc, kernel-source and nfs-utils):
Test install failed because of package conflicts:
file /lib/modules from install of kernel-2.6.0-0.test3.1.31 conflicts
with file from package filesystem-2.2.1-4
What do I do now?
