kernel 2.6.11-1.1287_FC4 and Thinpad T20
by Michael A. Peters
IBM Thinkpad T20, 700MHz
selinux disabled, rhgb disabled
On some kernels, X11 would fail to start some of the time.
rhgb would run but when gdm started, sometimes I would not get a login
screen, could not ping machine. If I did get to gdm login screen, its
rock solid stable after that.
Disabled rhgb - still was a problem sometimes, so rhgb was not at fault
- but I left it disabled anyway.
It is NOT a problem with knoppix, so its not a hardware issue.
Virtual consoles also do not work in runlevel 5 (haven't tried others)
kernel 2.6.11-1.1284_FC4 seemed better - virtual consoles still didn't
work, but I seemed to have no problems booting to runlevel 5. If it
still was a problem in that kernel, I just have been lucky.
kernel 2.6.11-1.1287_FC4 - have not had a successful boot to runlevel 5
- happens every time I try, switching to 1284 in grub and it boots into
runlevel 5 just fine.

I do boot with acpi=force - I don't know if that's an issue or not.
Interestingly, w/o acpi=force, when docked if xscreensaver comes on, I
can't move external mouse to get the xscreensaver password box -
acpi=force and I can. But that's the least of my worries, only mentioned
in case it's an acpi issue I'm seeing.

FC4T1 and Yum Update
by Peter Ennis
I am running FC4T1 and yum update it regularly.
FC4T2 has been released.
FC4T3 is due 5/10/05
Does FC4T1 automatically get updated to the new
test release with yum or is a reinstall needed?
I checked the list archive, Fedora FAQ and
googled but found no answer.

problem with yum + suggestion
by Neal Becker
I'm trying to update from FC4T2 to current rawhide, x86_64:
yum update:
[...]
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: struts11 = 1.1-1jpp_2fc for package:
struts11-webapps-tomcat5
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: struts11 = 1.1-1jpp_2fc is needed by package
struts11-webapps-tomcat5
OK, what about:
sudo yum --exclude=struts11-webapps-tomcat5 update
Same result!
Now, a suggestion:
Why can't yum have a switch to tell it to go ahead and update whatever it
can, instead of refusing to proceed to update 1000 packages just because of
1 dep problem?

Standard yum configuration
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Some questions about the standard yum config:
- Will the fedora/fedora-extras gpgkeys be added by default, or could
the yum error message at least give some hints how to install them?
Could it even ask "%s gpgkey not installed, would you like to install
them now? [y/N]" like up2date? I think you must thrust RH anyway, as you
allready has installed the whole OS packaged and signed by them...
- Will fedora-extras.repo be included in /etc/yum.repos.d/ by default?
Will it be enabled by default?
- Will pup be installed by default? What will happen to up2date?

New OOo Icons: Menu or Panel?
by Christopher A. Williams
The following only applies to the new GNOME / clearlooks theme and menus
- KDE has a different situation going on.
The new OOo icons in the menu list look very nice, IMHO. However, they
don't match what's currently in the panel at the top. From a usability
point of view, these should be consistent. While I prefer that the new
icons show up in the panel as well, that's just my personal taste.
What's more important is these should be the same throughout.
The same goes with the icons for the Web browser (and other apps),
although this difference is easier to get away with since the panel icon
launches whatever the default browser is, as opposed to a specific one.
...Just my 2 cents worth and someone may already be addressing it as
well.
Cheers,
Chris

Dingbats font & OO Equation editor questions
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Dingbats first.
I have ticks and crosses in OOCalc which uses 3 and 5 in the Dingbats
font. If I import the file created in OOCalc into OOWriter, the
character "5" (a cross in dingbats) shows fine, but the "3" (a tick)
gives an empty square.
If the font is changed to zapf dingbats, I get the number 3 and 5
showing and not a tick or cross (which I see with dingbats).
Is there any reason for this happening or is it something I need to
report into bugzilla?
Does anyone know if there is a list anywhere of the likes of specialist
maths symbols for the equation editor? I have a list for greek
characters, but need the likes of the "L" used for polar co-ordinates.
TTFN

FC4T2 on PPC64
by Joe.Hoot@itec.suny.edu
Hi all,
Has anyone had issues with their system shutting down after a small amount
of load? I installed FC4T2 on PPC64 (dual proc G5). The system, for the
most part, stays up. However, every once in awhile it crashes/powers off.
This ocurrs within seconds of running a command (seems to be random
commands. Probably something that access disk such as yum check-update or
a grep or find).
Thanks,
Joe

CD boot problem with FC4test1 AND test2
by Oliver Kahl
Since nobody else have post problems with the boot process,
execpt people with a dell c600 laptop a one other, I would
ask this way.
Is there anybody else, who don´t saw the "boot:" promt
from the installation/help menue after boot from the
first cd, and/or results in an dot "." in the next line
afer press any key?
Some of the dicussions about this you can found here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-April/msg01347.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-April/msg00959.html
After a few tests, I think the problem could be brake
down to the point, that it doesen´t work with the actually
version of isolinux 3.07 for the boot process.
It can be a problem with a bug/incompatibility in the dell´s
BIOS, but I´m also found this guy with a complete differen hardware,
an Via C3 system, more about this found here:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-March/004967.html
http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2005-April/005012.html
>>> I don´t know if the newer version 3.08 pre XXX fix this, but
with a substitution of ISOLINUX 2.11 FROM AN OLDER FC3
installation cd I could SOLVE THIS PROBLEM completely! <<<
Only the change of the isolinux.bin file is enough.
So my question for the fedora team. Is it very nessesary to
use the newer version of isolinux or is it possible to go
one step back to an 2.xx version? I know, since 3.xx there
where many new thinks added but did we realy need them?
Many other distributions use the 2.xx tree.
