Bit by the bug
by Mark Haney
Since I got bit by the udev bug, question is, how do I fix it to get my
system back up? I've seen bits and pieces, but nothing that gets me the
total picture.

A big mess now!
by Oldman
Updated all this A.M. A problem I've been having with window manager
crashing occurred, upon reboot I was presented with an option to check
file system as it appeared that there was an unclean shutdown.
Well long story short is that my machine would not boot up. it got to
the fsck then rebooted several times. I figured it was time for a clean
install.
After install everything seemed to work, ran up2date, downloaded 432
packages. Many hours later back to the same problems... so is there
anyone here who has updated to everything in the rawhide, whose distro
boots? I'm beginning to think this test stuff is way beyond me.

NVIDIA driver with FC3-Test 1
by Nave, Ronald
Something has happened to my system since recent updates to FC3-Test 1
the Nvidia driver version 6116 will no longer run with the 2.6.8-1.526
kernel on start up.
the NVIDIA driver appears to install with out any error messages.
However, I have found that if I log into a console as root
and type /sbin/modprobe nvidia , the nvidia driver will then load
manually
At This point typing startx will bring up the X windows screen.
If I reboot , it is necessary to repeat the process.
For some reason the nvidia driver no longer gets loaded automatically when
the system starts up.

Syslog and Selinux
by Bob Chiodini
Good Morning,
I have not seen anything logged to the syslog (/var/log/messages) since
the 24th. I did not see anything searching the archives, but the search
might not be working.
The following error appears trying to start syslogd:
Starting system logger: syslogd: error while loading shared libraries:
libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied
at the console:
audit(1093612883.714:0): avc: denied { execute } for pid=35

:object_r:lib_t tclass=file
FYI: Pid 35 is pdflush
I also noticed that portmapper gets a similar error:
Starting portmap: portmap: error while loading shared libraries:
libnsl.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied
at the console:

Stopping portmap: audit(1093613082.145:0): avc: denied { execute } for pid=36

In this instance pid 36 is pdflush.
Any help would be appreciated.

vino
by Thomas J. Baker
Does vino work for anyone right now? When I try to connect, it just
hangs:
katratzi> vncviewer wintermute:0

I know that initially it required an encryption that wasn't supported
but vncviewer used to just die. Now it just hangs. The java client used
to work but that's been removed.
Thanks,
tjb

by Kjartan Maraas
Hi.
I tried installing the debuginfo packages for xorg-x11 but it seems
there are none? Or am I just looking in the wrong place? :)

Anyone using rawhide and have a working usb printer?
by Jef Spaleta
So I'm moving right along testing hardware as I get to it.
And I can't get my usb hp 3650 to work on this rawhide box.
Does anyone currently synced with rawhide and using any usb printer
have a working printer?
/dev/usb/lp0 gets created for me, and the system-config-printer sees the device
and lets me configure the printer. But I can't seem to print a test page.
lpq shows the print job sitting in the que, and top shows gs chewing
on processor but i dont get a test page printed....wait and wait but
nothings making it to the printer.
-jef"Funny thing is my usb scanner is working, and something deep deep
in my brain expected the scanner to stop working before the
printer"spaleta

happy happy joy joy :-)
by Bart Kalita
Yesterday I was contemplating going back to FC2 and realising that all
that test stuff is not really for me....
after today updates I've tried again to make my soundcard module load by
running mkinitrd.
first I've renamed the current one then ran the process.
worked like a charm.
then I tried to install Nvidia drivers again... and it worked !
sadly konqueror still crashes....
but at least I've managed to make at least few things work again.
and finally something completely different: 4 wallpapers for FC3

enjoy.

Couple of devices gone walk-about
by Mike Klinke
Regards, Mike Klinke
Seems that somewhere between kernel-2.6.7-1.517 and
kernel-2.6.8-1.526 I seem to have lost the ability to use the
cdrom/dvd player on my VAIO laptop. The /dev/cdrom and /dev/sr0
files which were created under the 517 kernel are no longer created
under the 526 kernel. If I go back to the 517 kernel as is well.
Is this a known problem or does it need to be investigated further?
