Kernel updates not "taking"
by Claude Jones
I brought this up yesterday, perhaps in the wrong thread. I have the 1826 and
1878 kernels. Yesterday, I had the 1872 and 1826. When the 1872 was
installed, it never was offered as an option at startup. If I'd tap the
keyboard to get the list, 1872 was not there. After boot-up, I see the kernel
in /boot and it is listed in menu.lst and grub.conf. Samething again this am
- my machine is updated to 1878. I see messages about 1872 being removed.
1878 is now in /boot and is listed in menu.lst and grub.conf. BUT, on
startup, it is not in the list - only 1826 is offered...
Anyone know what's up?

Printers: lprm - and cancel -a
by George Hill
When I try to remove all my jobs from the print queue
with
lprm -
or
cancel -a
I get the following message and respond with my
password over and over. CONTROL-C does not abort -- I
need to kill from another terminal.
Password for george on localhost? <my response>
Password for george on localhost? <my response>
Password for george on localhost? <my response>
...
I can remove the jobs one at a time, no problem.
I am up to date with the latest upgrades for FC5t2.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Fedora floating screensaver stutters
by n0dalus
Hi,
Since FC doesn't come with much 3d hardware acceleration support, is
it a bit too much to assume that computers will be able to run the
default screensaver? I have a very good computer and it is still very
jerky when running the screensaver. I'm sure installing Nvidia/Radeon
drivers would fix this but since Fedora doesn't come with them, I
think we should either work to make the screensaver faster, or choose
a different default for FC5.
What do other people think about this? Do other people experience this slowness?

keyboard lost
by Tom
While I've been a Linux user for well over a decade, I've only
been usin Fedora (fc5-t2, updated daily) for less than a week. For
the past 8 years I've run Mandriva (cooker, also daily updated).
Currently I dual boot, sharing /boot, swap an a few /stor partitions,
all ext3.
This mornin I was using the fc5 system (my new default ;) for
about an hour when the keyboard stopped workin. The system runs 24/7.
Log out, an back in as root, the keyboard was working. So I created
another user. Loggin into that user, the keyboard was workin. All the
same after a shutdown, an reboot.
Any ideas as to what happened? I don't have a clue. This was
before FC5 updates this mornin. I had an idle root term open on
desktop4, I had pan d/l'g an archive (which I do again now), an had
just started to read my mail in kmail when the kybd died.

Fedora Core 4 Test Update: libselinux-1.23.11-1.1

Version : 1.23.11
Release : 1.1
Summary : SELinux library and simple utilities
Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux® kernel and a number
of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add
mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These
architectural components provide general support for the enforcement
of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those
based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.
libselinux provides an API for SELinux applications to get and set
process and file security contexts and to obtain security policy
decisions. Required for any applications that use the SELinux API.
