Bugbuddy + OpenOffice
by Efthym
Hi all,
I'm trying to file a bug against OpenOffice 1.1.1-4, but the only entry in
BugBuddy is for OpenOffice Ximian. Is that where I should file it ?
Also, i checked if the bug exists in the OpenOffice buglist but couldn't
find it. Is there a list on Fedora that I should check as well ?
Thanks

autofs confusion
by Jason L Tibbitts III
I've just brought up a dual Opteron machine with FC2T3. This is my
first FC2 install, and everything seems to be going well except for
autofs.
Automounting is used extensively here for home directories and for
third-party apps in /usr/local. For often used applications we rsync
some directories from a central server. (One day I'll make RPMs out
of everything, but for now this is much easier.) So
/etc/auto_usr_local has lines like:
mathematica server:/export/stuff/mathematica-5.0
matlab localhost:/cache/pkg/matlab-6.5.1
This has worked fine for years now, from FC1 on back, with bind mounts
being used for the dirctories on localhost. Under FC2T3, however,
/usr/local/mathematica is there while /usr/local/matlab is not. This
appears in the logs:
Apr 29 12:52:28 compute08 automount[3112]: failed to mount /usr/local/matlab
I guess the move to autofs4 is involved but I don't know if what I'm
doing is expected not to work or if this is a real bug.

tomcat and davenport
by Paul Bender
I have tomcat, apache and mod_jk2 running on the fedora core development
branch. All the examples run correctly, so I believe that everything is
installed and configured correctly.
I have downloaded and installed davenport from
<http://davenport.sourceforge.net/>. However, tomcat is unable to
correctly expand the davenport.war file. When I look at the log, I see
the error message:
HostConfig[localhost] Exception while expanding web application archive
davenport.war
Any ideas?

FC2T2 - Unknown User error when shutting down via Main Menu
by David Kramer
I get an unknown user error that pops up when I attempt to close down or log
out from my main menu. After I click the error, It then drops me to my
login display where I then have to click shutdown again. I was thinking
this was a common error for FC2T2 but I havent been successful in finding
anything on the net.
Thanks,
David

no .img files in image directory on FC2 Test 1 disc 1
by James Jones
I'm trying to install FC2 Test 1 on a Digital PC 5400 (an old Pentium
Pro box). Curiously, Knoppix boots on it fine, but it has failed to boot
up FC1, Mandrake 9.2, and now FC2 from CD, saying
isolinux: Found something at drive=9F
isolinux: Looks like it might be right, continuing...
isolinux: image checksum error, sorry...
Boot failed: press a key to retry...
No problem, I say; I'll make a bootable floppy. I double check the
README files, and then head to the images directory...but there are no
.img files to be found there.
What should I do?

Re: Abit RAID 0 not recognized
by Rio Baan
I actually don't intend to use RAID with Linux. It's just that I am dual
booting, and it sucks to have to unplug the RAID drives in order to boot to
Linux.
If there was some way of just getting the install to ignore this kind of
onboard RAID, we'd all be better off.
Otherwise I'm going to have to change distros and build my own kernel.

Metacity Themes?
by Hugh Caley
Are themes broken in Test 3? I can use the pre-installed themes, but I
can't seem to install any new ones; the list of themes doesn't get updated.

Esd
by Brian R Smith
Hi all:
I'd like to know if ESD has been changed to only support alsa. I run
the 2.6 kernel, however, the ALSA drivers are very very flaky with my
i810 audio chipset and thus use OSS. Now, ESD does not work with OSS.
I have reverted to the Core 1 esd rpms for now. Have these drivers been
changed to only support alsa or what? When I run esd it says that no
alsa devices are present, so i assume its using alsa.

Yum update path problem for switchdesk 3.9.8-18 -> 4.0.2-1
by Andrew Farris
Yum did not recognize switchdesk-4.0.2-1 as being a valid update for
switchdesk-3.9.8-18 on a Rawhide system updated to the test3 Rawhide
freeze. The newer version was ignored, requiring a rpm -e --nodeps step
followed by yum install switchdesk switchdesk-gui. I am not certain how
long this update has been ignored (3.9.8-18 is an FC1 package)...
probably as long as there has been a newer version of switchdesk.
When switchdesk, switchdesk-gnome, and switchdesk-kde are reinstalled on
my system, I can update these packages with rpm -U with no problems, so
the packages correctly remove the older version.
Yum did download the correct headers for the new version, several times
(I did clean the whole cache and try again from 2 synced mirrors).
This is a possible update path problem if anaconda is not used (yes, I
know that anaconda is the only supported means -- this is generally
useful information dissemination).

gnome-session-properties is included but (inexplicably IMHO, Bugzilla notified) not shown in the menu.
Alternatively:
%killall metaticy; new-wm &
and save the ssession.
Good luck
