getting out of x
by Joel Grimes
Noob question here - and forgive me for ranting, but it's just KILLING me!
How do I get the hell out of X? I've become so frustrated with that
damned automatic-restart-x thing that i wanted to resort to violence.
When, out of desparation, I hit ctrl-alt-backspace it keeps reloading
it. When I do that you'd think it would GET THE POINT THAT I WANT OUT!
(arg!.... I feel better now)

Shrinking an LVM root filesystem?
by Steve Bergman
Hi,
I've built a server and installed FC1. I used LVM for /, /usr, /home,
/var, and swap. /boot is in it's own partition. I fully intend to
upgrade to FC2 when it is released, which is why I am posting here
instead of the FC1 list.
Not really knowing what I was doing, I sized my / rather larger than I
should have, thinking that I could just shrink it later if I needed to.
I've since decided that I will probably want to do just that, but if I
understand correctly, I can only shrink unmounted filesystems. I could
reinstall, as I have not gone live with this server yet. Is it possible
to shrink / from rescue mode or something?
Also, can I grow and shrink any filesystem I desire, anywhere in the
LVG no matter what the order in which I defined them? i.e. is any free
space in the LVG available to any filesystem in it?
Sorry if I seem a bit dense, but this is my first LVM install.
Oh, and while I'm asking questions, what is the status of ext2online and
Fedora. I don't believe it is in FC2-test1 or rawhide. Is it planned
for inclusion some time in the future?
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve Bergman

core 2 test 2: freetype fonts : no antialiasing?
by Raghu Angadi
I just upgraded from test1 to test2.
One thing I noticed is that font rendering seems to have changed in xterm,
xemacs (apps that use traditional font system). I run xterm with 'courier
new' and the font looks awful after the upgrade. No config differences that I
know of.
I have rerun mkfontsdir mkfontscale.
Do you know what's going on?
xterm command:
xterm +sb -fn -*-courier new-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
Chris Kloiber had replied saying this issue might have been discussed before
but I could not find any clear solution.
Thanks,
Raghu.

For the record: this was auto inflicted. Removing ide-scsi from grub.conf
solved my problems. Bypassing anaconda also causes problems...

Gnome desktop problems after FC2T2 install
by Al Dunsmuir
Greetings,
I initially installed FC2T2, and ran into the severe problems with up2date (hang resolving dependencies,
packages update incompletely, etc) that other folks have mentioned.
I reinstalled, with format, and found a problem that I did not notice on my initial install.
In the "Start Here" folder, the "Preferences" and "System Settings" incons are corrupt.
When I try to run either, I get a "Invalid Actions Associated" icon. Both run fine when
invoked via the "RedHat" takbar icon.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
