mozilla theme
by Justin Georgeson
I realise this is going to be a somewhat offtopic post, but am thinking
perhaps the mozilla package maintainer(s) will see this and respond.
Thankfully I waited to install a new mozilla theme long enough to notice
that it's using the gtk2 theme from the system settings. Is this
something RedHat added to the Classic theme? (If I download new themes,
can I get this back by going to the Classic theme) I'd like to be able
to change to the button icons for a different theme, and keep the gtk2
theme system settings applied. Anyone know how to do that?

Initial look at Fedora Core Test 2
by Philip Wyett
Hi,
Some initial spots/impressions of Fedora Core Test 2.
- Doing a workstation install but de-selecting the games section, still
leaves you with kdelibs being installed.
- Grub boot screen still has messy layout.
- Graphical boot is much faster - Nice! :) Still doesn't look too
appealing though.
- Beep when graphical login appears is just bloody annoying, but
I could live with it! :)
- Main part of Gnome panel goes black for around two seconds when
loading up. This never affected the same crash test dummy box with
RH 9 or Severn beta 1.
- 'Desktop' folder in 'home/username' under Gnome 2.4 is a pain because
it's case sensitive. Not everyone uses upper case in directory naming
and the ability to rename it 'desktop' or even hide it would be nice.
- Desktop icons way way spread - see:
http://www.philipwyett.dsl.pipex.com/fedora/testing/default_desktop.png
Cleaning up by name does not rectify this problem. :(
- Alot of the apps when started maximised have a problem in the top
right corner of the screen - see:
http://www.philipwyett.dsl.pipex.com/fedora/testing/moz_started_max.png
- 1 pixel wide notification area on panel is well known about!
- 'Add/Remove Applications' still doesn't work for installs.
- Mouse console services shutdown permanently fails at shutdown/reboot.
- 'md: Recovery thread got woken up' - This thing seriously needs
a line of it's own. :)
I'll keep my powder dry on Gaim bugs as I think Havoc will soon
rawhide 0.69.
Regards
Phil

beta 1 laptop install and fix
by Frank Merenda
Sorry if this is a dup, I wasn't properly subscribed
to test, so I wanted to repeat this message for laptop
users if it didn't go through.
Yeah, I know beta two is out. :)
I just installed beta 1 (9.0.93) on a Tecra 8200. The
first few times it would hang at /sbin/loader (I
think) - right before the graphical mode started up. I
tried the 'nofb' option, but that didn't work. I then
passed the following into the command line:
linux nofb pci=off
and the install start working correctly.
I had to answer 'no' to 'have driver disk', and 'no'
to 'load driver' when new devices were found on boot.
I also had to change my boot into level 3, and disable
pcmcia, since that service was hanging and preventing
me from booting. I haven't tried any devices in pcmcia
yet, so I don't know if it will work or not. After
that, everything booted fine. I ran startx, and X
started correctly.
My next question is 'where's gnome 2.4'? How do I get
it?
Thanks!
-Frank

redhat-config-packages bugs
by Dennis Gilmore
i did an upgrade on my laptop from Red Hat 9 to test 2. i personally don't
use Gnome and normally don't have it installed a friend wanted to see gnome
in action so i went to redhat-config-packages it told me i had no kde and
no gnome packages installed. i have all kde and some gnome stuff as i like
to use applications such as gnomemeeting. i selected all gnome packages to
be installed and got dependencie errors over pspell and aspell deselected
gedit and promptly got asked for Red Hat 9 CD 1it would not continue with
the install so i did the install manually and ran redhat-config-packages
again to see what it would show and again no kde or gnome packages are
installed. in the games it shows i have kdegames installed so its getting
some but not the main desktop ones. anyone seen anything simmiliar

From past experience on all too many mailing lists, I'd say the chances
are close to or less than zero. This usually turns into an overly heated
debate that eventually leads nowhere.
Since you appear to be using Evolution, you could try the vfolders
feature. IIRC (it's been a while), you can have vfolder rules on
arbitrary headers. For this list I filter (with procmail) on the
following header:

Re: Evolution under Fedora Core release 0.94
by Brian C. Huffman
Neither LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 nor 2.2.5 is resolving all issues...This needs a
correct resolution.
Anyone have an idea what's actually happening?

Fedora Core questions
by Nicholas Marsh
Is this the working name, or will the system always be known as Fedora Core? My vote, if it's worth anything, would be to drop the "Core" and just go with Fedora.
Also, will the red hat programs menu icon change since it is no longer Red Hat Linux?
Thanks.

Nautilus in 94 doesn't do all-users
by George Farris
I have Nautilus 2.4.0 from the Nyquist apt-get repository on one machine
and when I go to applications-all-users:/// I see the menus that all
users get and can modify them.
Nautilus 2.4.0 from fedora .94 shows a blank screen, bug or missing
feature?
Any ideas?
