Remote Login in FC3T2?
by Steve Wardell
In installing the FC3T2 09.08 prerelease I've noticed the nice remote
assistance through VNC support thou was wondering if the remote login
(ala terminal services) with VNC made it in this test release or what
the status of this item was that Mark McLoughlin was working on.
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2004-June/msg00007.html
This is a great item that I'm sure many are looking forward to landing
if it hasn't.
Thanks,
Steve

ODD NVIDIA GUI booting problem.
by Jim Martin
Greatings,
I am running Fedora Core 3 T1 with Kernel 2.6.8-1.541, I have a nVidia
5200 video card, and am using NVIDIA-linux-x86-1.0-6111 drivers, I did
reinstsall the drivers for the new kernel as always, and my xorg.conf as
also been edited as needed for teh new driver.
however ever since I updated to 2.6.8-1.541 I have been having an odd
problem booting, If I try to boot at run level 5 (GUI) it cannot find
the screens and errors out. if I run init 3, reinstall the drivers, then
run init 5 I can run and log in as always. it seems like somethings gets
lost during reboot or shut down, and I cannot figure out what. This
error did not happen before .541
All I get from the log file is that no screens were found. Anyone else
having this problem?
Thank you.

transcode seems to have broken with the latest updates
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Prior to last Thursday, transcode was working brilliantly. I tried to
use it and it completely failed to pick up any of the plug-in modules
(such as ffmpeg, libavi and ac3).
The packages were all installed from rpms on freshmeat.
Has this happened to anyone else?

SELinux holding up nautilus-cd-burner
by Jim Cornette
Just to note that the problem that I mentioned about nautilus-cd-burner
not working was caused by SELinux. A bug report has been filed on it for
FC3T2.
Summary: right clicking on write to cd as a regular user does not work
past the part where the CD burner is supposed to be initialized. A popup
box will appear and show every time that you click on it.
test 1; worked through nautilus, as root (gnome-terminal, su to root,
launch nautilus,navigate to iso image location, right click mouse and
select "write to CD" (This works)
test 2: Try to do this as regular user again, watch it fail again. Then
run setenforce 0 in a root tty. Click on the popup selection again,
notice the cd is initialized and a successful burn is completed.
Other burning software:
k3b did not work right as regular user, but did as root before
investigating these failures,
xcdroast started to burn a CD when initially configured as root. I died
and is currently being investigate as to why it bailed shortly after
launching.
The default SELinux configuration is being applied to this system.
(targeted/enforcing)
Jim
PS: X still has a refresh problem w/ the latest CVS version, for the
i815 graphics controller. I thought that it was solved w/ this build. I
did not investigate a possible SELinux connection yet for the oddity.

Crazy question regarding refresh and X
by Jim Cornette
I am puzzled why I have a system that is upgraded from an installation
dated jan 2004 and X not having the refresh problem exhibited on the
freshly installed system.
I'm including the xorg.conf file from the installed system and for the
upgraded system.
The other details for this problem are located on the bug below.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131934
This bug report is a bit messy.
The basic details
System fresh install:
xorg-x11 has a problem with refreshing the display with the binaries. I
have to revert to the older driver for a usable X.
System upgraded:
I do not have a problem with X refreshing and all binaries are what
should be installed.
See the attached Xorg logs for differences between config files.
Thanks,
Jim

gconf corruption
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Under my area, just about everything is happy. Okay, some things are not
working as they should, but it's generally fine.
My wife logged in to her area and lots has gone wrong. From an error
report, it looks like the gconf settings have become corrupt (well,
that's what the gnome-theme settings reported at least).
What do I need to change/delete to get gconf-editor to work again and to
be able to configure things?

Relationship between /dev and /udev
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm still trying to sort out the sound problem I'm currently
experiencing on my box and I'm looking at hwbrowser.
Now, the soundcards are showing up happily there as is the floppy drive
(as /dev/fd0 - this is missing in /udev). There is an equivalent entry
in /udev for all of my hard and optical drives (/dev/hdx etc), there
isn't a /udev entry for /dev/eth0 though
Is /udev supposed to be a direct mirror of /dev and is it now the case
that /udev is accessed in preference to /dev (which would account for
the lack of sound here - /udev/audio, /udev/dsp and /udev/mixer are all
reported as being missing)?

dev-3.12-1
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Just another little one. dev-3.12-1 doesn't seem to be installable. All
I get when I try to install it is that mounted devfs detected.
Any way around this?

Test2 today?

Hi,
Roughly what time will the torrent sites have the real test 2 today? I'm
in the UK, so I'll guess at about 10pm tonight.
