Serial mouse problems with Fedora Core 4 Test 2
by Ben Beeson
Aloha again,
On the friendly advice of another, this is reposted here as a more
likely place to find help. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ben
Aloha list,
I have installed Fedora Core 4 Test 2 on a spare box that I will
eventually be using for a firewall+router. Right now it is a test box
for the new FC4 release. This box has had RH7.2 and RH 9 on it in the
past and the mouse worked fine with those installs. I am having trouble
getting FC4 to recognize and use the mouse, and this is a new problem.
I have tried just about every combination available in
system-config-mouse to no avail. Many combinations error out with an
error something like 'inputattach: cannot set line discipline'. Other
combos do not error out and mouse services appear to start OK, but the
cursor on the screen (text screens and X) does not respond to the
mouse. The mouse is a two button Logitech First Mouse P/N 811327-00. I
have also tried a Logitech MX 310 USB/PS2 mouse and that one doesn't
work here either although the MX 310 mouse is working quite well on my
FC2 system that I am writing this note from. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
Mahalos in advance,
Ben

RPM
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Is there a way to fix rpm when it constantly says it cannot access the
database in /var/lib/rpm?
I'm still trying to fix the same box which is looking for the wrong
kernel version when loading X

[OT] Upgrading from RH73 to FC2
by MW Mike Weiner (5028)
This may sound like a silly question, but i feel compelled to ask it
anyway. OK, i have *several* rh73 servers in my environment, that i need
to migrate to fc2. OK, not a real major deal, but what i was thinking
was to build an internal yum repo (for updates, etc) and also put the
fc2 install base on this box so i can do nfs installs, etc. Now, here is
where my silly thinking/question comes in. Is it possible to use this
"repository" setup but also read in say an anaconda-kickstart file? I
mean without really doing kickstart? And, if not, which i suspect is the
answer, what is the best way to take this yum repo box and turn it into
a Kickstart server so i can do remote upgrades? I would rather not have
to manually do >400 servers via yum from rh73 to fc2...
Any ideas would be graciously welcome.

libstdc++.so.2.8 and Kerio
by Ian McKinnon
I was noticing that the compatible lib c++ no longer supports
libstdc++.so.2.8 as it did in FC3.
Kerio Mail Server I believe as of its latest release still requires that
libstdc++.so.2.8 be loaded.
just an FYI from my test install.

all 13xx smp kernels (thru 1363) ... sometimes hangs while kde is
initializing after login ... sometimes not until i've attempted to use
some application. I have a mozilla tab folder with 150 urls that seems
to do it ... if it (rarely) otherwise gets that far. rebooting to 1276
smp kernel and everything is fine, no hangs.

Firefox - why is it better?
by akonstam@trinity.edu
Again I am not trying to start a rant I just want to know.
I find firefox somewhat inferior to the previous mozilla. Why do
people support it so?
1. The ctrl-l option is somewhat worse than the previous ctrl-shift-l
option.
2. I would like my downloaded files to go in my home directory. So as
root I want them to go into /root. That may be unreasonable to some
people but it can't be done in firefox. The Desktop folder is the last
place I want to put them.
3. The interface to add helper applications is obscure compared to
mozilla.
And on and on. I guess I am just a curmudgeon. Remember I am not trying
to start a rant , I am just very curious why firefox is taking over.

It's odd, and a little unsettling, to reflect upon the fact that
English is the only major language in which "I" is capitalized; in many
other languages "You" is capitalized and the "i" is lower case.

Various bookmark problems in firefox
by Peter Robinson
Hi All,
Just thought I'd see if others were experiencing the same problems as
me with bookmarks in firefox. I'm seeing a couple of weird issues.
- The first is if I right click on the Personal toolbar and click
create folder the folder gets created within the last folder on the
toolbar rather than actually on the toolbar.
- If a site has a favicon it doesn't show up in the address bar
although it does on show on t he tab
- As a result of the lack of a favicon I can't drag it to the toolbar
or a folder on the toolbar to create a bookmark
- If i use the 'Bookmark this page' option in the bookmark menu not
all the folders show up
Cheers,
Pete
