Request for Testing of Installer X Configuration on PPC
by Jeremy Katz
Hi. I've got an ISO for quick testing of anaconda's X configuration
setup available that's a little bit smaller than a full tree. All you
should have to do is download the ISO, burn it to a CD, boot and see if
X starts up. Then, you can reboot and go back to your normal doings.
Note that this is entirely non-destructive. So you can even run it if
you are running OS X. *ANY* results would be helpful. Please be sure
to include what you see happen as well as what type of hardware you're
using (cpu, video, monitor).
The iso is located at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/mac-x-test.iso.
The md5sum is 34234b3cdf2d89e4e94031a50f819285
Thanks in advance for testing this and helping to make test3 (and thus,
the Fedora Core 4 release) better on PPC hardware!

gaim & something else
by nodata
Does anyone find that the gaim new message sounds are queued until
something using the sound card (such as -yikes- real player) has
finished?
Do I have something misconfigured, or is this best behaviour?

Apache Virtual Hosts
by Ivan Gyurdiev
I use NameVirtualHosts...but whenever I set them to *:80
as opposed to 192.168.2.105:80 they stop working. Why is that?
Anyone having the same problem?

gcalctool
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Found a fun bug in gcalctool.
Type 19*19 or 19^2 and watch it be out by 10!
Which package do I need to report it next to for bugzilla?

Dell D800 Latitude Fan and Heat(FC4T2)
by Sean Bruno
I'm not real sure what is going on, but it seems like my fan is always
running now(didn't happen under FC3). My temp doesn't seem to be
getting that hot (playing Americas' Army runs about 60C, idle system
running X runs about 45C).
Under FC3 my laptop is quiet as a mouse when it's idle, but now I am
noticing that there is a constant hum of fan noise.
What should I be looking into to determine cause?

kernel-0:2.6.11-1.1284_FC4.i686
by Konstantin Ryabitsev
Hello:
I cannot boot my system with the newest kernel. It gets to the first
stages of init and then hangs trying to start udev:
Starting udev: MAKEDEV: mkdir: File exists
Initializing hardware . . .
and then nothing, only cold reboot to previous kernels works.
AMD 2600+, SELinux in targeted mode.

This isn't by any chance an old verson of Apache? (like older than
1.3.13)

OOo fonts gone?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
For some reason, OOo is only listing something like 20 fonts from the
font drop down box in v1.9.96-2. In previous versions, it was listing
around 50 fonts.
Is anyone else seeing this before I put it into bugzilla or is it an
x-org problem whereby fonts have vanished?

a couple suggestions for fedora web page for test releases
by Robert P. J. Day
for easier access to potentially useful info, can i make a couple
suggestions regarding the fedora web pages, particularly when it comes
to test releases?
regarding
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/
i'm pretty sure there's precious little value in the bottom half of
that page -- the schedules for previous FC releases. (if people
really need to know that stuff for posterity, a "history" page might
be appropriate.)
and replacing the historical info, how about links like:
"Where to download"
"Release notes"
"Current package list"
"Breaking news for this test release!"
and so on. when a new test release comes out, it would be kinda nice
to have all the relevant info linked from a single place, rather than
having to hunt for it.

Re: Is there any interest in GRID computing?
by Dwaine Castle
I was thinking that if something like the Grid Toolkit came with Fedora
users could form a grid to help with software builds for example. Platforms
like Seti & Grid.org are enormous. I don't know how many Fedora testers
there are or how many we would need to make the idea viable but I wanted to
ask. Corporations are interested in this, and I can see an opportunity for
end users to sell or donate processing time on their systems. End users can
gain valuable experience configuring systems for grids which is a skill
that, I believe, we will all have to learn in the near future.
