TEST: finger-0.17-24
by Alan Cox
Several people reported problems with programs like finger showing non
existant sessions as well as showing random idle times for remote X sessions.
This update should fix those problems with finger. I've prepared another
patch for 'w' which will hopefully follow as an update if the finger update
works.
Note: There is still another unrelated bug after 999 ssh login sessions where
sshd itself begins mishandling utmp.

how to kill moxilla download manager
by Harry Putnam
How can I stop the eager little download manager from popping up when
I download something? I see no options related to it in mozilla options.

TEST: ftp-0.17-21
by Alan Cox
This should close the bug where the ftp client crashes if the server
disconnects or vanishes rudely. Please test to make sure it hasn't introduced
any new suprises particularly with proxy setup and connection closes.

Re: Any suggestions over a good working File browser
by Peter Banks
Alan:
Thanks for the reply!
This is a 3 year old system on my home system with a 800 MHz AMD athlon
chip 512Mb memory and two 40gb hard drives. All partitions are ext3. I
have no NFS just Samba running slowness happens when I try to look at
any large directory like /usr/share or /usr/lib. I am running Nautilus
set up for tree view as default. Even with out the tree view Nautilus
take a minute to build the directory on /usr/lib. I will try Rox.

I'm surprised you find nautilus slow - the new mode especially is fast
on my boxes. What sort of system are you running and do you have a lot
of say NFS files ?

Fedora Core 2 shipped with three desktops. Gnome, KDE and XFCe. The
XFCe desktop uses a lot less memory than KDE or Gnome although less
featureful.
For raw speed I've not seen anything to outperform RoX as a reasonably
featured file manager. Rox and XFCe work together very nicely.

Still can't boot any kernel after 2.6.6-1.394
by LDM
Installed FC2 fresh on 3 computers. A PIII, a P4 and an Athlon. The
Intels both boot any kernel ok. The Athlon will not boot any kernel
after the above. Problem begins with the USB system. Compiled custom
kernel from 2.6.6-1.427 deselecting USB support and selecting the Athlon
processor. Kernel boots fine.
Seems I remember some issues a few months or weeks ago (bad memory) with
the A7N8X-X board. Could this have something to do with the board? The
Athlon is a 2600 Barton on an Asus A7N8X-X board. Can a kernel wizard
shed some light on this or should I just bugzilla it.

cdrom burner errors
by Joel
I've started to get these types of errors when burning CDs. The first
two blank CDs I insert and burn work just fine, but the third dorks
up and causes the kernel to emit:
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: drive not ready for command
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: status error: status=0x58 {
DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: status error: error=0x00
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: drive not ready for command
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: status error: status=0x58 {
DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: status error: error=0x00
Jun 13 18:20:38 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: drive not ready for command
Jun 13 18:20:43 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: lost interrupt
Jun 13 18:21:43 user-12l2ln0 kernel: hdc: lost interrupt
After that, trying to do anything with the cd causes that process to
hang.
As far as I can tell, this started with the 422 kernel, but I'm not
sure as I can't remember exactly when I did a bunch of burning before.
Any suggestions?
I'm using an inspiron 8500 running FC2 with all updates. Burning with
k3b.

Any suggestions over a good working File browser.
by Peter Banks
Since Konqueror which comes with Fedora 2 KDE is both real slow and
hangs a lot, and Nautilus is slow and is hard to work with since they
made the tree view is not the default. Yeah I know I restore the tree
view which I have made the default.
Any good suggestions for a replacement file browser that I can download
and compile? I do like being able to open a terminal session in active
window like you can in Konqueror.
