"neat" problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Is this a problem with the current version of python? When I try to run
neat, all I get is a traceback that import module gtk can't be found.
There is something definitely odd here. I've been running the laptop
happily with the network settings set to pick up the DNS from the server
directly. I'm working on the inside of a router, so the laptop IP is
192.168.2.100. Then it looses the ability to resolve domain names. This
is really strange and I can't account for it as none of the other
machines lose their DNS resolving ability.
Any ideas on either of this?
TTFN

Installing devel rpms with non matching user and group.
by Kim Lux
Earlier today, a certain redhat developer posted a link to some rpms to
test for a bugzilla issue I am involved with. When I try to install the
it I get warnings about the user and group not being present on my
computer. (User is the developer, group is www.) I can't get them to
install and I can't reach the developer.
Any ideas ? I am using rpm -i --force xxx.rpm. I removed the rpm that
it is replacing, but I can reinstall it if necessary. I haven't been
able to find a --ignoreuser and/or --ignoregroup.
Thanks in advance.

more information on my trouble reading CDROM's with hdc=ide-cd. Anybody else?
by Paul Johnson
I asked about this before in here and got some good hints. I still
can't mount cdr's I've written on my Inspiron 8600 laptop with the NEC
ND-5100a CD/DVD+RW. The symptom is that CDRs won't mount and the output
to /var/log/messages says the disk is timing out:
kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
kernel: hdc: irq timeout: error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d
kernel: hdc: DMA disabled
kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete
I've been reading everywhere about cdrom/dvd problems in linux. I note
that this error has been observed now and then since 1998, and there's
never a very good explanation of what's wrong. Some people suspect
hardware failure. I have made bug reports, first to the redhat bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3755
And then last night to the kernel.org itself.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3755
The important new information is that when starting with no kernel
option or with hdc=ide-cd, I CAN mount cdrom's printed at the factory
(Microsoft, for example), but cannot mount CDRs that I write. I found
at least one bug reporter who contended that the way Fedora core 2
writes the "last part" of a CDR is not managed well by the ide-cd
module. On the other hand, ide-scsi can mount either kind of disk.
Before I found that ide-scsi would cause disks to be mounted, I was
thinking the problem was in the CD-DVD+RW device itself. People have
contended to me that when you lose the ability to read CDRs, it is a
signal that your laser is getting weak, because the CDRs you make
yourself are not so sharp and clear as the one the factory makes with
its high quality writers. There may still be some truth in that, but I
think that if it really was the cause of trouble, then setting
hdc=ide-scsi would not help.
It seems to me the problem has to be in the ide-cd support. This bug
report on kernel.org suggests as much, but I do not know if the author
is correct or not:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3362
Here's what I don't understand: If there is some bug in CD reading, why
doesn't it affect all Linux systems. Why just a few of us?

Rage 128 - FC3 Testing Needed
by Warren Togami
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138822
System freezes after logout (Rage 128) unless you disable DRI. If you
are a FC3 user with Rage 128 video, your assistance in testing is
required for this issue. Even if you do not experience this issue on
your Rage 128, your testing would be greatly appreciated in order to
avoid introducing a possible regression.
http://people.redhat.com/wtogami/temp/xorg/
i386 packages with a candidate fix for this issue can be downloaded from
here.
Please answer these questions when you report your findings:
1) Does your entire FC3 system lockup after logging out from a GNOME
session and X restarts?
2) Does the above packages solve this problem?
3) Does the above packages introduce any new problems?
Thanks,
Warren Togami

Fedora C3 specific dual boot question
by Joe Borne
OK, I now have Solaris 10 installed on a 2nd internal HD. However,
when I attempted to modify the grub boot loader I am stymied by the
way FC3 set up my system.
The grub entyr I put in is:
title Solaris 10
rootnoverify (hd3,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Because I now have Sol10 on /dev/hdc, partition 1
But FC3 configured my system with the internal drive as an LVM (smart,
I liked that, but now it's a new wrinkle).
So my fstab is this:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrw_dvdr auto
noauto,user,exec,managed,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto
noauto,user,exec,managed 0 0
So when I attempt to perform the following sequence, grub does not
recognize any of the drives I am calling for.
(grub) root (hd0,0)
(grub) setup (hd0)
(grub) quit
Can anyone help?

Controller channel device order swapped over in 2.6.9-1.3_FC2
by Dave
First I'd like to thank Warren, Alan, Markus et al. for the work put into the
I2O driver, it's been working flawlessly.
I'm not sure if this is I2O specific (block osm?), but after booting FC2 into
the 2.6.9 kernel the order the channels on my 3200S are picked up appear to
have become reversed:
/dev/i2o/hda -> /dev/i2o/hdd
/dev/i2o/hdb -> /dev/i2o/hda
/dev/i2o/hdc -> /dev/i2o/hdb
/dev/i2o/hdd -> /dev/i2o/hdc
Of course I've now sorted out my fstab (swap devices can't have filesystem
labels, and I was relying on the device names since I had several drives from
other installs with identical filesystem labels on), but I'm pretty certain
the old behaviour was 'correct'.....
(yes, I know what the standard answer about relying on device numbers is :) )
I'll also have to pluck up the courage to try an FC3 install at some point.
