devlabel-0.48.03-4 borked
by Steve G
Hi,
I was running the latest rawhide devlabel and notice that my bootup now has shell
script errors in /sbin/devlabel at line 144. Something about no left hand
argument. I thought well OK, some quotes are needed in case
/etc/sysconfig/devlabel.d/ignore_list is empty.
Well, the file doesn't exist. It seems that the spec file makes the wrong
directories:
/etc/sysconfig/devalbel.d
Will file in bugzilla...just wanted to give everyone a heads up that it seems
broken. Renaming the directory might be a short term fix until a new package
comes out.
-Steve Grubb

Another FC3test2 candidate tree
by Elliot Lee
The previous bug reports on the re0903.0 tree were very helpful -
here's another one to chew on:
http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/FC3-re0908.0/
(As before, I just started syncing it, so it will be a while. Please
make sure that any .iso's you download are dated today 2004-09-08 - the
old ones in place there are from yesterday and are known-broken.)
Please see how it installs/runs if you get a chance.

OpenOffice i18n is 790MB on disk
by John Reiser
While test installing FC3-re0903.0-i386, I noticed that
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-3.i386.rpm is 125MB on CD-ROM
or 790MB on disk, which is about 1/4 of the total 3007MB
disk space required for a Workstation install. Thus it is
the leading option to delete in order to conserve space
using a custom install. Supposedly US English still works
without this package. (And it would be nice if there were
an option to select just a few of the dozens of languages
included in i18n.)

FC3T2 candidate
by Jim Cornette
I finally installed the test candidate and found X not working, avc
errors, general features that I consider bothersome. With this messages,
I wanted to relay attached avc errors, xorg-x11 errors etc. I won't but
will files a bug report with the files soon.
As a general problem. I could not install using the GUI mode. My screen
would change to graphics mode, then hang. After installation, X has the
problem with the refreshing of the screen w/ the selected version of
xorg-x11. This is as described by another person using the 815 driver.
The screen has stripes from left to right, then some portions appear on
the screen. You have to hover a mouse over menu items in order to launch
anything. Also not all screen elements appear on applications that you
launch.
Also, using my binary driver approach and replacing the i810 driver w/ a
previous version driver, this one from my fc2 installation, a reboot is
needed for the older driver to work as it should.
Aggravations are the "add to panel" and large icons being displayed
instead of a menu choice to navigate through the stock menu choices.
Having to scroll down a list with big ICONs is not my preference. After
adding a main menu choice to the new panel, things were normal. Also the
nautilus needing to be configured for browsing vs. nt4 style folders and
icons.
I am attaching the avc errors from first booting the computer from the
install. The errors are minor.
Hopefully the X problem can be resolved from past the testing. The other
problems are a matter of user tastes.
Beware of the idedisk, usbdisk and other icons on your desktop. They are
handy, but are new. I find the icons for the mounting disk partitions
handy and useful. I like the concept. But with multiple disk types,
there could be many.
The type of install was workstation, no added programs and SELinux
enabled w/ targeted type. I burned ISOs for the CDROMs and the first and
forth disk errored at around 99 %. The burn was at maximum speed for my
burner type.
Instead of reburning the CDROMs, I just did a hard drive installation
from my ext3 dowloaded files directory. The actual installation went
through in less than a half hour w/ just over 3 gigs needed for the
actual installation.
I hope this is helpful,
Jim
PS - When trying to send messages, Evolution did not remember my choice of outgoing authentication.
This should have been remembered from the wizard answers given during first launch.

Fedora Core 3 test 2 schedule change
by Elliot Lee
Hi all,
The plan is changing a bit and the intention right now is to release
FC3test2 to the public on September 20.
There are too many niggling issues remaining in the test2 candidate trees.
firstboot still isn't quite there, and hardware detection & X seem to have
a few issues. Please continue to look at
http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/FC3-re0908.0/ and find other problems that
must be fixed for the test release. Issues that must be fixed generally
are ones that prevent most users from installing & setting up a running
system, or bad app crashes. Please use
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ to report issues so the developers
can keep things straight. :)
Best,
-- Elliot

Missing xeyes :(
by Aaron Gaudio
I have xorg-x11-tools-6.7.99.903-6, which no longer includes xeyes. I
see in the changelog that someone felt it didn't belong in the xorg-x11
packages (though xlogo apparently still does, for some reason).
Anyway, I use xeyes sometimes as a convenient, if bandwidth intensive,
way of keeping a ssh connection alive through a touchy http proxy (no,
the ssh keepalive doesn't work). I also use it to catch unsuspecting
users who only know how to use 'xhost +' :)
Is xeyes available in some other package?
