Wish List for FC3 (list Ports)
by Reg Clemens
Here is something we have all needed for some time.
Getting all the information is going to take some time, but
it will be worth it...
ALL Programs in FC3 should have a new section in their MAN
pages listing the ports they use.
These days all of us are sitting behind a Firewall, and I find
it a real pain having to go search to find out what ports a
given program might assume are 'open'. Getting this information
listed in one place would be a great help.

I was afraid that was what you were referencing. Have you tried
inserting `ForwardX11Trusted yes' in /etc/sshd_config?
The man page says it will work but:
Here it causes a read error when I restart sshd
service sshd start
Starting sshd:/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 85: Bad configuration option:
ForwardX11Trusted /etc/ssh/sshd_config: terminating, 1 bad
configuration options [FAILED]
Unless I remove or comment it out, sshd won't run, so I'm thinking
there is a little more to the story.

FC2->FC3T1 on Thinkpad A21p
by Phil Schaffner
Reporting on experiences upgrading an FC2 (+ some 3rd party packages)
system on an IBM Thinkpad A21p notebook to FC3T1, but not without some
glitches. This system has survived upgrades from RH7.x through RH8.0,
RH9, FC1, FC2T3, and FC2 (not to mention W98_2ed, WinXP).
Booted the installer kernel from grub and selected NFS upgrade (have a
local copy of the FC3T1 tree exported). First, encountered a lockup
when the installer attempted to access the network - should have
anticipated this as this system has had to be booted with acpi=off for
some time to avoid this type of lockup. Rebooted with acpi=off and got
a bit farther. Filed bug #128711.
Seems that many installation problems could be avoided if the
installation kernel omitted ACPI. Any compelling reasons not to do
that?
Also would be friendly if the installer had the ability to detect known
hardware configurations that have trouble with ACPI and automatically
add it to the GRUB kernel line. Opinions?
Next encountered an anaconda crash, bug #127713, due the existence of
/selinux - again this could have been anticipated given a bugzilla
search and/or remembering/reviewing what had already been discussed on
this list. Clobbered /selinux and tried again. Hopefully this will get
fixed before FC3T2.
This system is dual-boot with WinXP on the single hard drive, and would
appear to be vulnerable to the installer bug that renders windows
unbootable (sfdisk and fdisk disagree on geometry) but encountered no
problems with XP, presumably as the upgrade should not have touched the
partition table. [Ought to dump XP anyway and free up the space - only
remaining need given the state of OOo and Crossover Office is to use the
built-in Winmodem that never has gotten Linux support. A PCMCIA modem
could fix that.]
This time the upgrade proceeded to completion. Next tried to run "yum
upgrade" on rawhide repository and found conflicts with left-over ATrpms
libraries:
...
Running test transaction:

Did "yum remove libglib2.0_0 librpm4.3" which fixed that problem,
checked for any other old rpm cruft (rpm -qa --qf "%{INSTALLTIME} %
{NAME} %{VERSION} %{RELEASE}\n" | sort -r >RPMS_by_Install_Time), and
finding none, tried the update again. Updated 150 packages.
Lots of errors similar to:

The files are from gnome-applets. Have seen this sort of error before,
but couldn't find this under gnome-applets on Bugzilla, so filed Bug
#128717.
Not too bad so far for a T1 upgrade. Rollin', rollin', rollin'...

FC3-test1 agpgart warning on boot and very slow performance
by Simon Sedgwick
I've just installed FC3-test1 on a spare box I've got laying about. This
was a clean install onto a disk that previously had FC1 on it and ran
fine. I chose a straight workstation install and performance during the
install process was okay.
After it had finished installing I rebooted the machine and everything
was fine until the kernel had decompressed the it came up with the
following error: (dmesg)
agpgart: Detected an Intel i815 Chipset, but could not find the
secondary device.
agpgart: Detected an Intel i815 Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000
Anything obvious spring to mind chaps?

Re: startx vs init 5
by Dwaine Castle
Brian,
I have a fresh install of FC3t1. I almost always log in as root which many
people have reminded me is stupid. I know, but this is just a test machine
that I am using to learn about Linux.
I can't figure out the "Access Denied" messages either because all the files
in and under the root directory belong to root. The permissions look OK
also.
Thank you very much for your help. I'll ignore those messages.
Thank you.

FC3 T1 strange entries in dmesg and messages

There seems to be lots of these. Not seeing any
warnings or other bad messages.
This is a fresh install for a second time and still
getting these strange things in my logs. I have not
installed any other apps other than a default
Workstation install for FC3 T1 without updating yet.
I have run hardware diags on my laptop and have found
all hardware in good working order.
