FC4T1 to FC4T2 to FC4T3 Final release
by Richard Ramson
When Fedora Core 4 finally gets released in June, will I have to do an
upgrade or because I keep downloading the fixes I won't need the final
version?

Alsa channels muted - why
by Ivan Gyurdiev
I know I saw a change about this in the rawhide logs a few weeks ago,
but it's still not working for me - I have 31 volume in asound.state,
and yet it's STILL muted after a forced reboot. This problem has
been there forever - I don't think I've ever been able to get sound
out of my system after a crash without messing with the mixer.
This is a very annoying bug, and I'd like to help track down the cause
of it.

redhat-artwork postinstall script
by Jacob Kroon
I noticed that I had to manually update the
/usr/share/icons/<theme>/icon-theme.cache files,
because they were getting out of date, and this caused unneccesary lag
in some programs
like Firefox. When I first clicked on "Bookmarks", all the gtk icons
needed to be stat64():ed. I think I
have updated redhat-artwork a few times since installing FC4test1, and
thus it seems like the rpm
scripts hasn't updated the iconcaches correctly, perhaps because it
isn't using the --force flag ?
This updates the icon caches:
for d in /usr/share/icons/*; do gtk-update-icon-cache -f $d; done
Anyone else experiencing this?

Any ideas ?

Re: Selinux Question
by Alan J. Gagne
I will have to do some further reseach to to determine if any piece
of os information this process collects is missing. The errors occur
during the start-up of an agent. Not sure if some of these are related
to the lib it seems to be looking to use that does not exist in the
locations listed in the error message. It does exists in another
location in the applications home.

The "beauty?" of the nvidia drivers in action
by Sean Bruno
For fun(?) I decided to test those NVIDIA drivers against the latest
rawhide kernel and sundry other apps. Surprise! no worky.
Anyway, that's not this lists problem and I am spamming over to the
nvidia mailing list for guidance, but there was some interesting
behaviour of the system when the module was loaded. Here are some of
the highlights from /var/log/messages:
Pretty Standard here:
Apr 4 22:31:34 localhost init: Switching to runlevel: 5
Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints
kernel.
Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] ->
GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
Apr 4 22:31:37 localhost kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA
Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:44:39 PST 2005
Then the fun begins. The following three messages appear repeatedly:
Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant
device at 0000:00:00.0.
Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at
0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
Apr 4 22:31:38 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at
0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode
Sprinkled with messages about gdm loosing its connection to X(not
surprising if X is having serious issues):
Apr 4 22:31:44 localhost gdm[4251]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X
error - Restarting :0
Then the final message of Doom:
Apr 4 22:32:29 localhost gdm[4139]: Failed to start X server several
times in a short time period; disabling display :0
Anyhow, I'm running this on a Dell Latitude D800 with an Nvidia GeForce4
Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x. Don't know if anyone on this list really cares at
this point, and I don't think that anyone at Nvidia is going to give a
rip either. Just thought you all might be curious!

possible error in python causing system-config-securitylevel to bomb

Is anyone else getting this after the latest update? I searched
Bugzilla for anything relating to system-config-securitylevel and for
socket.getservbyport and didn't immediately see anything relevant. I
know I was using this a few days ago successfully. Think something got
borked in that last python update?
