smp kernel 760 boot failure, can't read superblock
by Anne & Lynn Wheeler
i've got a pair of sata drives .... logical volume boot filesystem that
is marrowed on the two drives and all the other file systems are
striped. smp kernel 681 boots fine, the three subsequent kernels that
i've tried (including 760) all fail in boot with error message about not
readying superblock

Bash keybindings in mozilla address box
by Harry Putnam
I've been noticing on newer mozilla pkgs (currently mozilla-1.7.5-3)
that keybindings that used to work in the address box no longer work.
These were bash (emacs like) keybindings that work on the command line.
For example: Ctrl-k used to delete ahead of cursor.
Ctrl-a moved cursor to beginning of line
ctrl-e to end of line.
None of this currently works and I see no setting for this in the
`preferences'.

"Best" way to do a fresh install of rawhide?
by thomas cameron
Howdy all -
Is the "best" way to get rawhide to try to install directly off the tree at
ftp://[my_favorite_mirror]/fedora/core/development/i386/, or to install FC3
and then point my yum files at the development tree? I am planning on
starting with a blank drive.
Thanks!

SELinux issues with httpd and mysql
by Rodd Clarkson
Sorry if this has been covered but I'm struggling to find anything
vaguely like useful.
I'm having two selinux related problems with regard to httpd.
I've got httpd running cgi (perl) scripts inside of suexec domains,
however I can't run perl scripts from the command line inside
of /var/www/html/folder even though they are owned by the user/group
trying to run them.
Each time I try to run the scripts I get the following
in /var/log/messages:
Feb 2 14:36:49 localhost kernel: audit(1107315409.932:0): avc: denied
{ read write } for pid=6432 exe=/usr/bin/perl name=2 dev=devpts ino=4
scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=user_u:object_r:devpts_t tclass=chr_file
Feb 2 14:36:49 localhost kernel: audit(1107315409.932:0): avc: denied

ino=566526 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=sock_file
Also, and this is probably more critical, my cgi scripts are unable to
access MySQL. Again, there's a selinux related message inside
of /var/log/messages
Feb 2 14:38:34 localhost kernel: audit(1107315514.239:0): avc: denied
{ read } for pid=6449 exe=/usr/bin/perl name=tmp dev=hda6 ino=629126

Feb 2 14:38:34 localhost kernel: audit(1107315514.767:0): avc: denied

ino=566526 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=sock_file
Feb 2 14:38:35 localhost kernel: audit(1107315515.380:0): avc: denied
{ read } for pid=6450 exe=/usr/bin/perl name=tmp dev=hda6 ino=629126
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t tclass=lnk_file
Feb 2 14:38:35 localhost kernel: audit(1107315515.877:0): avc: denied
{ write } for pid=6450 exe=/usr/bin/perl name=mysql.sock dev=hda6
ino=566526 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=root:object_r:var_lib_t tclass=sock_file
Given that this is one of the oft used reasons for cgi scripts (getting
stuff from MySQL) I'm a little surprised that this doesn't work out of
the box.
Hope someone can help.

FC4 - LIRC
by Robert La Ferla
Having LIRC in FC4 would really help. It's loaded into the kernel so
it's difficult to build separately which is why I think it should be
included in FC4. Anyone running MythTV, tvtime, Xine, mplayer, etc..
will appreciate it.

Poking at yum 2.1.13
by Phil Schaffner
Did a fresh install of FC3, ran updates with standard FC3 base and
updates-released repos successfully, then added my favorite 3rd party
repos (dag, freshrpms, gstreamer, atrpms-stable, newrpms, local,
macromedia.mplug.org) and tried to update again. Got numerous
seemingly-bogus conflicts, so decided to give yum-2.1.13 from rawhide a
shot at it. Grabbed the SRPM and rebuilt from source for FC3. Things
improved considerably after upgrade to rawhide yum-2.1.13 - far fewer
conflicts reported - but yum still tried to install two versions of
opensp. Tried to force just the opensp package with
# yum install opensp
And that completed OK. Then tried again and yum wanted to "update"
opensp to a version older than the installed one. ...
# yum upgrade
... several KB of output/errors deleted ...
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Check Error: package opensp-1.5.1-9.rhfc3.at (which is newer than opensp-1.5-0_6.1.rhfc3.at) is already installed
Then tried
# yum --exclude=opensp upgrade
and that allowed the upgrade to complete. Then
# yum upgrade
returned with no further packages to upgrade.
Have captured the logs of the entire process but they're a bit long to
include here.
# ll -rt yum.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76302 Feb 1 17:24 yum.err1 # Old yum
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73307 Feb 1 18:08 yum.err2 # New yum
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3108 Feb 1 18:12 yum.kludge1 # install
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65588 Feb 1 18:17 yum.err3 # upgrade
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84989 Feb 1 18:31 yum.kludge2 # exclude
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1932 Feb 1 18:33 yum.ok # success
Not sure it this should go in Fedora, ATrpms, or yum bugzilla; or just
be written off as another inter-repo dependency glitch. Any advice on
where to go with it appreciated.

Very low volume control
by JERRY WHITMIRE
Hi
I have very low volume control i have did all of the usual settings and have
the speaker volume all the way up and have very little sound coming from
them.
My motherboard is a Asus a7v8x-x with sound man onboard the driver that FC 3
is using is via 8235 alsa mixer & analog device ad 1980 oss mixer the board
is less than a week old i have did a fresh install .
When Fedora gets to the soundcard setup there is very good sound from the
speakers when it gets
to the gnome desktop and i set the settings there is good sound . but if i
go to kde the sound goes very low and the same back in gnome and after
reboot is there anyway to fix this ?
Thanks
Jerry
