Issues with test 3
by Mike Martin
Hi
I installed test 3 last night and I have the following issues
1. Bash scripts not picking up varaiable eg:
this (very simple) script
ffmpeg -i $2 -b $1 $3
when run results in a message from ffmpeg about io error (no file)
2. Naulitlus burn gives no chance to change burn speed
3. On an exiting user account menu entries are sparse (ie some
installed apps missing)

Unable to mount root after upgrade from FC4->FC5t3
by Vladimir Vukicevic
After doing an installer-based upgrade from FC4 to FC5t3, at boot I see:
scsi0 : ata_piix
[...]
Loading ahci.ko module
Creating root device.
Mounting root filesystem.
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
Setting up other filesystems.
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init.
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Any idea what the issue is? I can't find any info on what's changed
in the boot process (I'm still able to boot my previous 2.6.14 kernels
fine), nor do I seem to be able to get a shell in the initrd via
init=/bin/sh (just seems to ignore the init kernel option). Note that
at upgrade time, I told the installer to not touch my grub config; it
just added the new kernel as an option.
Thanks,

Printing problem
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
I've done a simple Entity/Relationship Diagram in Dia and when I came to
print it lines were missing. Initially, I thought this was a Dia problem
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332795) but I then thought to
test it with FC4.
Under FC4 however it prints correctly.
So I've uploaded the PostScript of the diagram (which displays
correctly) and wondered if anyone could try it to see if they could
reproduce the problem and/or suggest what's at fault.
It's at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/leon.stringer/fedora/output.ps
The problem I see is that the main part of the lines connecting the
MEMBER entity to the one above and below are missing (although the 'A'
part of the "crows foot" shows).
I'm printing to an HP DeskJet 990Cxi.
Thanks in advance,
Leon...

Booting from USB DVD broken? (FC5T3)
by Jim Cornette
I seem to remember someone posting to the list regarding problems with
installing from a USB interfaced DVD reader/writer. I could not find the
previous post. I did however find the problem when attempting to install
FC5T3 on two different SBC systems using a Memorex DVD reader/writer.
I am able to install the FC5T2 installation from DVD. I checked the
burned DVD using the USB DVD recorder/player and it passed the media test.
The FC5T5 install fails in both GUI and text modes. FC5T2 installs fine
on the same computers and with the same DVD device and brand of blank
DVD's used for the burn.
I filed a bug report but I thought I'd ask if others are having similar
failures and what boot options could be issued to bypass the recently
introduced error, if any workarounds available.

Kudzo segmentation Error
by Leslie S Satenstein
I was wondering if this is fixed for the go live version. It shows up when I boot, but I feel that the system has not suffered from its lack of presence.

by G.Wolfe Woodbury
I was doing a test install of rawhide today (2006-02-28) and ran into a
traceback/crash from pirut.

Pirut doesn't like clicks that select packages. :-(
kyum is a workaround.

NFS install of FC5 T3
by William John Murray
Hello there,
I am confused by the NFS install procedure. I have done
it on two machines, with mixed impressions. In each case the host ran
FC4.
For the first one, I am 99% sure all I did was copy all 6 iso images
into a directory, NFS serve that, and start a second machine installing
using 1 CD. And it worked.
For the second, I tried the same, and it said the directory did not
contain a Fedora installation. So I read the README, which says to
unpack the iso files. I really don't think I did that the first time,
but never mind. Done. The installation started, then complained there
was no 'repomd' information. So I copied that as well - but if it is
needed it should be in the README.
Which is correct? Am I dreaming that unpacking the ISO was not needed?

FC5T3 install issues (Video - winbind auth)
by Mike McGrath
During my FC5T2 install I had no issues with video, this time around the
installer started with part of the top missing (lines going through).
Also after changing my monitor in the install to 1920x1200 I could not
select that mode without taking the color rate down to thousands. On a
successful install the startx screen also has the right 1/4th of the
screen covered with horizontal lines.
Also during the install proccess after reboot I chose to use winbind
authentication. When I finally booted and ran setup, winbind was
selected for user info but not user authentication. For some reason the
settings got wipped. Even after setting stuff back up its still not
allowing me to authenticate.
The error I get in the logs is "Got invalid request length: 0"

Re: Mouse lockups in X.org w/ ATI
by Todd Simi
I have a mouse problem, but I am using NVidia, and it happens with a
Microsoft USB Optical Mouse as well as a Microsoft PS/2 ball mouse.
With mine, the mouse_over and mouse clicks stop working.
I have found that sometimes ALT-TAB will reactivate it.

Also, the problem doesn't affect non-optical mice. I have a Dell
branded USB mouse which works properly.
I'll try to get my hands on another brand of optical mouse later, and
see if it's specific to the Logitech brand.
