Rythmbox better than ever!
by Bjorn Andersen
Wow, first time EVER that i was able to import over 8000 mp3 and ogg
files in one import.
In FC3, 2 and Ubuntu (latest), Rhythmbox freezes within 5 min.
Great job.

RE: [OT] Upgrading from RH73 to FC2

It works. Just make sure you're running a 2.6 kernel and have FC3 initscripts
installed and /sys/ mounted before installing the udev RPM. However, the
thread originator is migrating RH7.3->FC2 and shouldn't need to worry about
udev.
Instead he'll probably need to install (not upgrade) the FC2 db4 so that RPM
migration works. He can remove the old db4 after the upgrade. If he's using
3c905's he may have to chkconfig kudzu off as FC2 kudzu tended to lock them
up, which is a pain when your datacenter is a thousand miles away. If he
originally configured his network with linuxconf he may have to munge the
configs in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts before they'll work in FC2.
Disable IPV6 modules for best performance. Change /dev/psaux
to /dev/input/mice if using X. Move router configs from zebra to quagga.
I also have a note about having to merge dummies on boxes with many IP
addresses. Don't recall the details. Maybe dummy1 stopped working.
I'd advise skipping FC1. I've upgraded several RH8->FC2 and RH9->FC2 without
problems. Wish FC3->U5.04 were as easy. Never tried RH7.3->FC2.

Thanks for the response Mike. The boxen/hardware in question simply provides shell, python/perl, mail and web services - these are pretty slimmed down installs, but i appreciate the db4 tip - i believe i actually ran into that issue trying to manually upgrade an rh73 box to fc2. I did the following:
1) updated the redhat-release to fedora-release for fc1
2) attempted yum (checked yum's config at this point and repo's config info) this required an RPM upgrade
3) attempted to update RPM and ran into many dependency issues
Note: i now have a basically useless rh73 box, LOL, good thing its a development "throw away" I suppose i could dig up a rescue disk and fix it.
so obviously something in my chaotic "upgrading" messed something up on the box. But thats the general idea - and i gather that same basic information from most google results on doing a yum update from rhX to fcX.
Does your experience lend itself to possibly providing me with some pointers, or in this case "missed items" ?
Thanks again to *all* for *all* the input, this has been an interesting thread.

Standard-Kernel doesn't compile on FC4T3
by HGM.bg (GMX)
Hi
I tried to compile a standard-kernel 2.6.11.11 on FC4T3 (updated right
before the try) and get the following error.
CHK usr/initramfs_list
CC [M] drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.o
In file included from drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.c:31:
include/linux/i2c.h:58: error: array type has incomplete element type
include/linux/i2c.h:197: error: array type has incomplete element type
make[3]: *** [drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/i2c/algos] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/i2c] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
It's very important that standard-kernel should compile on FC4....

Perl, CPAN, and failures...
by Colin Charles
So, I was going to push this to fedora-perl-devel-lust, but the warning
scared me away
Anyways, doing:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Finance::YahooQuote"'
allows a test in Finance::YahooQuote to fail, having it not install
unless I force it
Where do I bug report such a thing?
Any perl heads know whats going on?
Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/01base........ok
t/02simple......FAILED test 1
Failed 1/2 tests, 50.00% okay
t/03extended....ok
t/04custom......ok
t/05test........ok
I'm trying to run an app that requires this, and I'm now trying very
hard not to set aside some time and rewrite it in Python
Regards

Mono Stack on Fedora
by Teak Billard
Hello:
I think the Mono stack has to be added to Fedora Core
5. I've been trying out their Mono Live CD
<http://www.mono-live.com/> and it's great.
F-Spot/Beagle/Blam/Tomboy are all applications I would
like to use more often, outside of the few times I've
loaded up the mono live cd.
I know that Red Hat has legal concerns over .NET/C#
but if that isn't the case with Fedora then Fedora
should go ahead and include Mono. I'm also talking
about an inotify enabled kernel.
Teak

Acrobat 7 does not run in FC4 3.92
by Chandana De Silva
I have just discovered that Acrobat Reader 7 does not run. It does not
give an error message, but simply exits.
This is the binary version (tar.gz). The rpm version cannot be installed
because of missing dependencies.
root@chandana other]# rpm -ivh AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386
libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386
libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386
Is there a set of compatibility that can be installed to resolve this ?

Xserver Permission Problem
by Chandana De Silva
I am running FC4T3 on my desk top, and FC2 on two other computers.
When I ssh into one of the FC2 computers from the FC4 and try to run any
gui app (eg:xclock), I get the message :
"Error: Can't open display:"
I then try to specifically set the DISPLAY and still get the same
message:
[chandana@tarzan chandana]$ export DISPLAY=10.10.10.11:0.0
[chandana@tarzan chandana]$ xclock
Error: Can't open display: 10.10.10.11:0.0
This works fine (without even bothering to set the DISPLAY) from the
other FC2 computer.
Is there some permission setting on the FC4 that is different ?

Re: Mono Stack on Fedora
by Teak Billard
So the situation is that a company like Novell has the
money to deal with any lawsuits that could arise
because of Mono, but Red Hat can't risk it?
Is there a serious effort on Red Hat's part to deal
with the issues surrounding Mono or have they given up
for the meantime?
