Firefox in FC5T2 and java plugin problem & solution
by David Bentley
I have just installed sun java in /opt as recommended
and correctly configured it only to find that the
plugin was not running.
My system was a fresh install of FC5T2 with all
updates as of 18/1/06.
The problem seems to be to do with the selinux policy.
To getthe plugin to run I have enabled "Allow the use
of shared libraries with Text Relocation" in the
compatibility section.
Should this have been enabled by default.

Build info time / statistics - for the inquiring mind
by David Timms
Lets say you have a reasonably modern PC, 400G disk sata, 2GHz cpu, 1G
ram. Can someone give me an idea of just how long doing a full package
compile / build + iso images would take ? Plus how long for extras ?
How long would it take with the boxes that redhat use to do it?
(or is that competitive info that's not for release ?)

fc5t2 - no selected packages - rpm fails / not yum(my)
by David Timms
On a low resource notebook, during gui installation all packages were
unselected (including "base system"). The install completes, and
reboots, with text only login as expected. [used about 390MB of disk
space, 720MB free.]
1. #yum
command not found
ie, not installed. Including yum would make for much easier dep
resolution as you add the particular packages that you want to the
minimal install. How much bigger would absolute minimum be if yum (and
:. dependencies) were included when no packages groups are selected ?
Perhaps a group called "base operating system" (that can't be unselected
- it is the absolute minimum requirement for a booting kernel) with the
following options:
rpm rpm-libs yum mc ftp ssh slocate
would be appreciated by similar minded folks ?
2. #rpm
rpm: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.4.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
#ls -l /usr/lib/librp*
No such file or directory.
#ls -l /bin/rpm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rpm rpm 83732 Jan 10 02:20 /bin/rpm
manually copying on librpm-4.4.so, then librpmdb-4.4.so, then
librpmio-4.4.so, then librpmbuild-4.4.so from a FC4 system has got rpm
operating.
# rpm -qa|grep rpm
rpm-4.4.2-12
but
doesn't rpm need rpm-libs ?
Without a working rpm, much harder to put packages on... Is this known
or needs bz'ing ?

epiphany's hidden dependency
by Michel Salim
bug #178153
I noticed after installing test2 without any X development packages
that epiphany would not run; it complained about libXt.so and
libXext.so could not be initialized.
This is worrying, because
1) they are not listed as dependencies
2) why is epiphany trying to use static libraries?
The bug report is still marked NEW, and there's been an update by
Matthias Clasen (to 1.9.5.1-1) that didn't solve the problem, so I
thought I'd post here.

can't find khotkeys
by Andrew Parker
Did khotkeys get (deliberately) dropped in FC5T2? I've done a "yum
install \*" to ensure I _should_ be installed if its available, but I
can't find it under kcontrol.
Has it moved, and I just can't find it?

PATH in KDE
by Andrew Parker
I have a file under /etc/profile.d that sets up my PATH. For some
reason, KDE does not seem to pick this up under FC5T2, whereas FC4 has
no problem with the same file.
Consequently apps launched by KDE can't themseleves launch anything
from my PATH.
So, apart from the obvious "What happened to change the KDE
behaviour?" is there another way that I should be setting my PATH?

FC5t2 shutdown problems
by Joshua Andrews
I running in run level 3. When I go to reboot all services are stopped
until a final message says "INIT: nothing left to do", or something like
that, and then it just hangs there and requires a reset.
I am not sure exactly what mechanism provides reboot function. SysVinit
checks out ok with rpmv so I'm not sure where to look for the cause.
Thanks,
