Firefox -- Slow rendering
by Charles Lesh
Hey all:
Runnig the latest rawhide here, and noticed a problem.
Goto:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/
Now click on any of the 'View by thread' links, try March for example:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2005-March/thread.html
For me, this page takes approximately 12 - 14 seconds (measured with a
handheld stopwatch) to render...during which firefox is completely
unresponsive. As a comparison, booting the same computer into Windows
XP and firefox takes the same page about 3 seconds.
This is not do to the page being cached. Also, I am on a cable modem,
and other network operations (large downloads) seem to happen at about
the same speed on both Windows and Fedora.
Any one else seeing this?

Evolution Outbox -> Sent Problem
by Ken Nordquist
I just noticed that when I send email, the email does not move from the
Outbox folder to the Sent folder. I am running Evolution 2.2.2-5 on the
1312 build of the x86_64 kernel. I noticed the same problem with the
1305 kernel as well (though I am pretty sure it is not a kernel issue).
Has anyone else experienced this problem or know of a solution?
Regards,
Ken Nordquist

jscal -c not working? / trying iforce
by René van Paassen
I am playing around with a thrustmaster force-feedback joystick. For
now it is not recognized as a normal joystick. I tried to run
jscal -c /dev/input/js0
on it, jscal dies:
[repa@pascua evtest]$ jscal -c /dev/input/js0
Joystick has 29 axes and 10 buttons.
Correction for axis 0 is none (raw), precision is 0.
snip ................
Correction for axis 28 is broken line, precision is 255.
Coeficients are: 28672, 36862, 21844, 21844
Calibrating precision: wait and don't touch the joystick.
Bus error
dmesg gives:
jscal[23019] trap stack segment rip:400d2e rsp:7fffffaea360 error:0
Anyone else tried this?
I suspect the excessive number of axes has something to do with the
joystick.
I also added the stick's vendor+device id's to the iforce module and
re-compiled that. However input keeps grabbing the stick, iforce doesn't
get it, even after it has been manually loaded and I then plug in the
stick.
dmesg again:
usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [ThrustMaster HOTAS Force Feedback
Joystick] on usb-0000:00:10.2-2
Any clues on how to stop input from grabbing the device?

Openoffice segmentation fault, FC4 (x86_64)
by Harry Jensen
Hi,
I'm new in the area of Fedora, but anyway, tried to install the test
release, just because of my SATA hdd.
I've installed OpenOffice, and it just worked out of the box, but for
some reason I cannot start it now, and gets the following:
/usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.104/program/soffice: line 247: 2912
Segmentation fault "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"
...I have installed plenty of programs after OpenOffice, so there is
probably one of those generating this fault, but which one is the wise
question ;-)
..could someone give me a little hint of in which direction to search,
or maybe a tool to use in the search ;-)
..thanks in advance.

PS: was posted in fedora-list, but just discovered this "-test-list",
and thought this was the correct one to use.

Strange USB Pen problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Just noticed this one. What component should the bug get put under
though?
If I use my USB pen and transfer something to it where the filename is
all uppercase, the filename is converted to all lowercase (for example
SENDA becomes senda).
Everything still works, but it's a strange one.

Kernel updates
by Mike Chambers
Is anyone using the kernels from the below dir? If so, is it me or is
that dir missing header dir to use yum to update it? I can't find the
header dir anywhere, up or down the path.

<4> post_create: setxatter failed
by John P Poet
I have been happily running Fedora Core 2 for a year.
I just tried to install Fedora Core 4T3, but it fails with:
-------------------------------------
There was an error installing cracklib-dicts-2.8.2-1. This can
indicate media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems.
This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted.
-------------------------------------
If I switch over to F3, I see:
-------------------------------------
Setting file_context_path to /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/file_contexts
-------------------------------------
F4 shows:
-------------------------------------
<6>SELinux: initialized (dev hda3, type xfs), uses xattr
<4>post_create: setxatter failed, rc=1 (dev=hda7 ino=16449)
-------------------------------------
My partion layout is:
hda1: /boot (ext3)
hda2: swap
hda3: /home (xfs)
hda4: extended
hda5: / (Fedora core 2) (ext3)
hda6: / (alternate root) (jfs)
hda7: / (Fedora core 4T3) (jfs)
I booted off the DVD with "linux jfs", so it would allow me to format
the root partion with jfs.
I told it not to install SELinux.
I did test the media, and it is fine. Pretty sure my hardware is
okay, since Fedora Core 2 is quite happy running on it.
Any other information I can provide to help track this problem down?
Thanks,
John
