Anyone tried the ati drivers?
by dataangel
With some the fedora patch and changing a line of code in
firegl_public.c I was able to get them to run on FC2 on my nforce mobo,
but I'm curious if anyone has tried getting them to work on FC3 yet. I'm
downloading Test2 now.

Yum error
by Gord McLeod
I'm trying to update my system and I've got the following error coming
up at this point:
Reading repository metadata in from local files
primary.xml.gz 100% |=======================| 7.6 kB 05:01
developmen:
18/3423//var/cache/yum/development/primary.xml.gz:1017: parser
error : Extra content at the end of the document
<name>dos
^
(the caret is pointing at the end of the word dos, not sure if the
font is going to make that match up properly or not.)
Any suggestions on what I should do to fix this?
(I'm running FC3T2.)

Yum & RPM: Recovering from a crash

RPM Update: Cleaning up from the crash

I was in the middle of a massive 'yum update' when the process simply
hung. It just sat and sat, with about 1,000 rpm packages in and some 300
to go. Yes, this was perhaps an abuse of yum--I realize using yum to go
from 2 to test 2.91 is unsupported.
But, is it possible this could happen in another circumstance when many
packages are to be updated? What's the correct response when this does
happen.
I'm pleased to say that we recovered by manhandling rpm to --nodeps
remove a few packages that prevented subsequent update, then putting
them back. Things seem mostly OK now, except that there are a
significant number of multiple rpm versions in the rpm db. Indeed, rpm's
cleanup didn't really have a chance to run.
Rather than trying to clean up the dups by hand, is there some other
way? Is there some tmp file that maintains the clean data that should
have been set aside?
Any thoughts on this most welcome.

Re: fedora-test-list Digest, Vol 8, Issue 27

Sum Set of Licenses Non-Conflicting? I've been lost in the World of
Microsoft for a while but is it possible to arrive at that stage if
individual companies are tacking bits and pieces to licenses?
It seems a little bit like the U.S. Congress. "Excuse me Sir while I
attach this 2 billion dollar defense expenditure to this day care
bill."
I appreciate that this is probably not a good place for this
discussion. Is there a reference location on the web for the GPL?
Dummies Guide to the GPL? GPL FAQ?

to fedora or not to fedora that is the question
by john brennan-sardou
hello all,
I know I am going to be flame downed, cut into to little pieces even
bits but as I am really impressed by fedora having used it since the
beginning ( and found that fedora 3 test 2 works well on my curious box)
may I ask the right in the guts question" when do you think that the
version fedora 3 will be out and about? "
Having sung the song for linux for years and fedora for quite a
while when will I be able to say to my collegues in the french
education system shut your mouths and get down to a bit of real work?

grub broken after FTP-Update from fc2 to fc3t2
by Thomas Liesner
Hi all,
after an FTP-installation of fc3t2 on a fc2 machine my grub-config got
broken and only shows the entry for the Win-Partition on the HDD.
The original grub.conf has been overwritten and not saved. Does this
make any sense in an upgrade-installation?

r200, radeon, 810, 830 DRM (why not 830, r200 drivers available?)
by Jim Cornette
Being confused as to why there are not drivers for the radeon and 810/5
cards available that do not negatively impact the radeon 7000 7200, etc.
I looked up the drivers available at the below website. The seperation
looks like a good aproach for graphics controllers that are similar, but
need seperate drivers because of interaction from a new driver for an
older graphics controller.
My main question is if we will see the i830 and r200 seperation of
drivers in the next xorg-x11 versions?
Jim
The websites
http://www.freedesktop.org/~dri/snapshots/
http://tlug.up.ac.za/guides/lkcg/drivers_char_drm.html
-----------------
excerpts i810 and i830
Intel I810 DRM_I810
Module name: i810
Choose this option if you have an Intel I810 graphics card. If M is
selected, the module will be called i810. AGP support is required for
this driver to work.
Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G DRM_I830
Module name: i830
Choose this option if you have a system that has Intel 830M, 845G,
852GM, 855GM or 865G integrated graphics. If M is selected, the module
will be called i830. AGP support is required for this driver to work.
-----------------
excerpt for radeon r200
Note: If you are using a radeon 8500 or higher (8500, 8700, 9000, 9100,
9200, IGP9100, etc.) choose the r200 shapshot, otherwise choose radeon
(7000, 7200, 7500, IGP320, IGP340, etc.).

Rhythmbox spec file
by Michael A. Peters
The package rhythmbox in the spec file has the following:
rm %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/rhythmbox/iradio-initial.pls
touch %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/rhythmbox/iradio-initial.pls
I understand why that is done, no mp3 support means the stations in the
shoutcast playlist would not work.
However, would it be possible to flag that file as %config(noreplace)
in the %files section?
If the gstreamer libgstmad.so is installed, shoutcast streams will
work, and the system administrator may have put stuff in there so that
new accounts can have some default radio stations when they first run
rhythmbox.
The way it currently is, any update to rhythmbox would erase whatever
the system administrator has put there.
