annoying bash3/readline5 bug
by Paul Iadonisi
I didn't see any patches in
ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/bash-3.0-patches for this, so it might not
have been fixed upstream, but here's the problem I'm seeing. First, set
your editing mode to vi with 'set -o vi' and then recall a previous
command (or really, you can probably just type a new command). Then
just hit the escape key to be sure your in readline's command mode. Go
to the end of the line with '$' and now type 'r' to indicate you are
going to change the last character. Now type the new character. Presto
change-o, now the last character becomes the second to last character
and the second last character becomes the last and is changed to the new
character. Ouch. How was this one missed, Mr. Ramey? Heh. He must
use the emacs bindings. ;-)
Anyhow, I'll file it in bugzilla later tonight when I get home. Just
wanted to post here to see if anyone else has seen it and discovered
some obscure new setting that I've missed.

Evolution problems
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Just to confirm a couple of problems with the current version of
evolution (1.5.92)
1. Creating or replying to an email puts one word per line.
2. GPG passwords are not kept if you say to remember the password
For the first one, selecting everything and saying to format "normal"
will fix the problem.
There isn't a fix for the second one.
Is it me, but have the recent updates increased the speed of operation?
TTFN

latest updates
by Oldman
All
Updated 120 packages this morning and am having an issue. Seems nearly
all of the file associations are missing. Still have most of the
Internet ones for HTTP, HTTPS, aim etc. still work. the mailto: is
missing but does exist in the preferences, but all others are gone.
So does this file exist somewhere, what file(s) is it?
BTW, Whoa do nautilus windows open fast now! (Schwiiiiiing!).
Thanks

what's with the commas in the cyrus-imapd release tag?
by Paul Iadonisi
Subject says it all. Is this a new naming convention, or did someone
fat finger the Release tag? I haven't checked bugzilla yet, but just
figured I'd check to see if anyone else saw this. It wouldn't matter to
me one way or the other, except that it confuses the heck out of yum:
ws187:root:528)# yum -y --exclude='*curl*' --exclude='vorbis-tools*'
--exclude='grip*' --exclude='libcroco*' --exclude='librsvg2*'
--exclude='sendmail*' update

USB2 CD-ROM appears as /dev/sda
by Patrick Caulfield
Under FC2 it appeared as /dev/scd0 as expected, but since upgrading to FC3 it
appears as /dev/sda!
dmesg says:

Under FC2 the device type was "hl-dt-st DVDRAM GSA-4028B" (which is was OS/X
still calls it) rather than the Revolting^H^H^Hec shown above.
