CPU Spikes while closing gtk2 windows/tabs?
by Warren Togami
After upgrading to rawhide September 28th, it seems that closing some
gtk2 windows or tabs causes a spike of 100% CPU for several seconds
before the window/tab disappears. I'm seeing this with firefox windows,
or gaim tabs. Anyone know if any recent changes could have caused this?

sensors-detect not working
by Timothy Sandel
When I try to run sensors-detect I get a message:
No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them.
I'm running kernel 2.6.8-1.541smp. If I load the modules I need
manually, sensors will display stats.

#no cron.deny or cron.allow
[root@marte dl]# locate cron.al

udev problems
by Thomas Zehetbauer
Hi,
although I suspect it is not recommended practice I do a regulary "rpm
--freshen *.rpm" from my local rawhide mirror. This recently left me
with an almost empty /dev directory that did not even allow me to boot
with init=/bin/bash. I guess the udev update was missing udevstart in
the %postinstall script.
Now I am still missing at least my USB tty devices (for Palm) and have a
non world-readable /dev/rtc.

Hi 'N.Emile',
I have been trying to read 'man 1 crontab'. Probably I missed
something, but it seems to me that the followinf SHOULD work, and does
not:
root>echo auser >> /etc/cron.allow
auser> crontab some-file
This gives the above Permsission denied. Can you please advise?

Problem editing user/group settings
by Thomas Taylor
Tonight I tried to go into system-config-users to add groups to my user
account I got the message:
The user database cannot be read. This problem is most likely caused by a
mismatch in /etc/password and /etc/shadow.
My question is WHY and how do I CORRECT it?
FC3t2
kernel 2.6.8-1.541smp
KDE3.3
I want to do this so I can add groups to my user account so I can add devices
to my user desktop.
TIA, Tom

glibc problem.
by Robert Couture
Hello ...
I am using FC3t1 updated to latest rawhide (shouldn't that have made my
system FC3t2? fedora-release still says t1)
I am not sure how best to explain this because I am very new to the
programming world and tend to get lost easily.
However I have encountered something with the latest glibc update in
rawhide and need to find out if it something broken in glibc.
I have been using a BBS program called Synchronet (does anybody remember
dial up BBSes?)
I compile the source from CVS (http://cvs.synchro.net) and it has worked
flawlessly until I updated to glibc-2.3.3-55 (headers, common, devel)
The program compiles without error (just the usual warnings that have
been there for a while)
However now the program won't run correctly. There are a LOT of errors
regarding:
Got signal (26435072)
Signal has no handler (unexpected)
Throwing the program into endless loops.
To ensure that this wasn't a recent change to this program, I reverted
to an older, known working tarball of the source and the same thing
occurred.
One of the developers mentioned that it may be related pthread and to
look for changes in:
sigemptyset()
sigaddset()
pthread_sigmask()
sigwait()
When I reverted back to glibc-2.3.3-54 (common, header, devel) the
problem went away.
I am hoping that someone here with more knowledge than I can shed some
light on this and whether I need to file a bugzilla against glibc or if
there was an intentional change.
I hope that I explained this well enough and thanks for your time.
