X locks after a [alt]-[tab]
by Patrice Dumas
Hi,
I've just updated a fc1 system to fedora development. I kept the fc1 kernel
(2.4.22-1.2999.nptl) otherwise the system is up to date with fedora
development. I use gnome.
When I hit alt-tab, in order to change window, the other window gets a black
border, a little grey rectangle appears where there used to be the windows
list, but then X is unusable, although I still can move the mouse and see the
pointer move. I can switch to a console.
I have nothing strange in the X log, nothing in dmesg or /var/log/messages.
Where should I look?
Pat
Note: I had some problems with my disk and it is possible that a file is
corrupted, but I don't know how to force a fsck of the / filesystem on boot.

ldconfig error
by Dwaine Castle
Using yum to upgrade my system this morning I received an ldconfig message
many times.
/usr/lib/libartscontrolsupport.so.1.0.0#prelink#g63m1V is too small not
checked.
The file exists, but it is zero bytes is size so I guess it is too small.
If I delete this will it be recreated?
Does anybody know how I should fix this?
Thank you.

kernel-sourcecode
by Lee Connell
Hello all,
I notice there is no more kernel-sourcecode rpm anymore? I went and
downloaded the kernel*.src.rpm from SRPMS and extracted the kernel and then
built a custom kernel using the shipped config. When i boot into the new
kernel i get a kernel panic because it says security policy not loaded.
What do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks.

FC1 ghostscript update requires gdk-pixbuf and gtk+?
by Andreas Mueller
Hello,
I wanted to update my FC1 text-only installation. The new ghostscript
package (7.07-15.4) requires gdk-pixbuf and gtk+ to be installed. Why
is that? Is it just an error in packaging or are there other reasons?
Regards,
Andreas

Samba GUI problem
by Dwaine Castle
I've re-installed FC3T1 4 times in the last few days to try to solve a few
problems. The first was to try to get rid of the dozens of dependency
issues in up2date that would just not go away. Now I've just got the howl &
kde stuff pending which seems manageable.
The question that I would like bounce off this group has to do with Samba.
I have a small network behind a firewall router. I've noticed that I can
not use the GUI tools to open any shares on my XP machine. I can mount the
shares from the command line and the shares are available to the command
line and to Nautilus(File Browser). However, if I try to get to the shares
via Computer->Network... I an see each of the shared directories, but I get
an "application error' when I try to open them. NFS also works, so I fairly
sure it is not a firewall or security issue.
This is obviously not a pressing problem, but if anybody has any ideas about
what is wrong and/or how I might fix it then I would appreciate the help.
It occurs to me that this may be related to the GUI/GDM update issues and
might just go away in a day or so.
Thank you.

Anaconda of 2004-08-16 fails due to parted library
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
Just a quick note before I bugzilla...
The rawhide with anaconda of 2004-08-16 fails in the startup with a
complaint about missing libparted library. I suspect the stage2 image
has the new parted but anaconda hasn't been told to use it yet.
Anyone else seeing this?

Installation Problem: IProute-2.4.7-16
by charlie
Hey all:
Once in a while, for kicks, I install the development branch from
scratch, from the daily 'boot.iso' image over FTP. Since yesterday
(8/15/04) it has been uninstallable. When the packages are downloaded
and installed, I get and error that reads:
"There was an error installing iproute-2.4.7-16. This can indicate
media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems. This is a
fatal error and your install will be aborted. Please verify your media
and try your install again."
This occurs after the package is downloaded...
Not sure what is going on, but I figured someone that reads this list
could use the information.

stock kernel compile and run on FC3
by Lee Connell
Hey everyone,
I have extracted the kernel source from SRPMS and also used the shipped
config for my architecture. I compiled the kernel using stock kernel and
config. everything went well, until i went too boot into my machine using
the new kernel. I get the following error:
-Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded. Halting now.
Kernel panic: attempted to kill init.
However if i modify the config a bit and disable SELinux then I don't get
this problem.
How can I enable SELinux and avoid the policy loading issue?
Thanks.
