Re: anyone else having mediacheck problems with FC3t1 images?
by Jason Dravet
I am getting the following messages on one of the other screens (Alt-F4).
<3>Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 161345
<4>hdd: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete
Error }
<4>hdd: media error (bad sector): errir=0x30
<4>end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 1290776
There are several more of these type messages each with the logical block
and sector incremented by one.
I have tried different media and different isos. Each ISO's md5sum matches
the md5sum at download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/etc...
If I can get access to it, I might be able to try a second burrner.

Why is this list so quiet?
by Gerry Tool
I have been testing RH/Fedora releases since RHL 7.3. The mailing lists
for testing have always been very lively, until this release. There
seem to be very few testers posting, and even fewer community developers
responding. Is that just my false impression?
I'm concerned that this release and its successors will not receive
enough criticism to fix bugs that should be caught before the final
release of FC3.

stuck w/ a 640 x 480 resolution - Dell 828656 Graphics controller
by Jim Cornette
I am trying to setup a Dell computer with an 828656 Graphics controller
card. I found that after initial installation and after selecting the
resolution (any higher than 640 x 480), the system-config-display will
allow selection and application of higher settings. The actual screen
will be 640 x 480 regardless of the settings chosen and displayed
through system-config-display.
Now, with gnome-display-properties, you cannot choose any resolution
higher than 640 x 480 or change the color settings. Though these
settings seem to be a true reflection of what the X server is actually
doing, how can higher resolutions be obtained with this card.
The driver that this 845 card selects is an "i810". The computer that
I'm using now is older and uses an "i815" and works great!
1) Is there a way to get the resolution corrected to do better than 640
x 480, with this type of video card, using Fedora?
2) Is the i810 driver correct for this card to use?
This happens with an FC2 install or with an FC3T1 install. Any leads or
solutions appreciated. I seem to remember someone trying to describe a
similar problem. I don't recall a solution announced for this hardware.

OOo slow?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm loading in a 1.1Mb file. It is mostly text, with three fonts in and
one graphic.
Is it normal to take upto 10 minutes for it to hit the screen properly
or is there something I can do to speed it up?
OOo 1.1.1-6

/usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so is missing?
by Guo Yang
A package I am trying to compile depends on libdb_cxx.so. But with
db4-devel-4.2.52-5 the link to libdb_cxx-4.2.so is missing. But on
Redhat 9.0 with db4-devel-4.0.14-20, the link is there. And I don't
remember I had this problem before with Fedora Core 1 or maybe 2.
Thanks.

fc2 problems wit h cdrecord
by Don Raikes
Hi all,
I have fedora core 2 installed on a compaq desktop with a sony cdrw drive in it.
Any time I try to create a cd, I get an error saying
"cdrecord: OPC failed"
the command I am using to create teh cd is:
cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom -dao x.iso
The line above the OPC error says something about a timeout after 200 seconds or so.
The sony cdrw drive is an ATAPI drive not a scsi drive.
Thanks,

sshd cannot alloc pty under fc3t1
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
I am attempting to ssh from an FC1 machine to a new fc3t1 install and
the attempt hangs with a failure to allocate a pty on the fc3t1 box.
the system is setup correctly, and .ssh/known_hosts is working properly.
/var/log/secure says:
Jul 14 10:15:15 tembo sshd[5357]: pam_succeed_if: requirement "uid < 100" not met by user "ggw"
Jul 14 10:15:15 tembo sshd[5357]: Accepted password for ggw from ::ffff:10.11.12.1 port 52980 ssh2
Jul 14 10:16:35 tembo sshd[5357]: error: openpty: No such file or directory
Jul 14 10:16:35 tembo sshd[5359]: error: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc failed
The openpty also fails for attempts by root. Examination of -v -v ssh
doesn't reveal anything relevant to ptys.
Anyone else seeing this?

Failed DVD install of FC3T1
by Ernest L. Williams Jr.
Hi,
I finally created a DVD for FC3T1 from the four CDROM ISOs.
The md5sum checked out. Also the media check worked fine.
However, the installatiion hangs on trying to install the following package:
"fontconfig-2.2.1-11"
Reports:
=====================================================================================
The package fontconfig-2.2.1-11 could not be opened. This is due to a missing file
or perhaps a corrupt package.
=====================================================================================
Did anyone else get this?
Also, can we make Anaconda have a skip package option?
Thanks,
Ernesto
