vmware-config can't find header files
by Joakim Arnling
When I try to build vmhgfs module with vmware-config-tools.pl, the
suggested place for include is /usr/src/linux/include. It wasnt like
this prior to kernel 2.6.15-1.1907
I try to enter the right path
( /usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1909_FC5-i686/include ) and gets this:
"The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the
same address space size as your running kernel."
What do I do wrong?

Non working dvd drive.
by David Bentley
I have a system that had core 4 working on it till
FC5T2 was installed
recently and have just noticed that my slot type dvd
drive that was used to
boot and install FC5T2 from does not recognize the
presence of any media that you insert into it.
System is fully updated and the drive still works OK
in "WINDOWS" and at boot time it is a SCSI Pioneer
DVD-303.
excerpt from /var/log/messages to show what it is
detected as at boot time

gnome via startx OK, gnome via gdm not.
by Brian Millett
I have been booting into runlevel 3 for quite a while. After logging
in, I do a "startx" and enjoy the gnome desktop. After the latest
rawhide updates, I decided to try/test the runlevel 5 and log in via
gdm. I had several errors where gdm could not be launched and I saw
that the path it was trying was /usr/X11R6/bin/... , so I changed them
to /usr/bin/... When I did that, I got a nice gdm login screen. Trying
to log in however gives me only a session of "twm". It doesn't matter
if I try a kde session, gnome session, xfce4 session,etc. All I get is
a twm session.
I think that I have too many *.rpmnew *.rpmsave config files laying
around and I probably should do a new install, but hey, how else can I
learn?
So my questions are what should I look at to see why I am only getting a
twm session? Why isn't starting a session via the gdm log in screen the
same as doing startx? What are the difference and how/what can I do to
monitor the process?
Thanks.

Fedora 5 {test,development} on G5?
by Peter Seebach
Hi! I have been told that I must make a very fast PPC system run Linux, as
soon as possible.
The obvious candidate would be Fedora 5 test releases, since the quad G5
doesn't work with much older stuff.
With FC5 test2, I had no joy even booting all the way.
With FC5 "development", I got a bootable CD (yay!), then spent a day
downloading RPMs. At the end of this, I tried to run the install. I
pointed the installer at the Fedora/ppc64 (I am a ppc64, yes?) directory
on the machine I did the downloads on, and it said it was fetching
"Fedora/base/stage2.img". Then it announced that these files did not match
my boot media.
I noticed, around this time, that many of the files in the directory
I'd been downloading from were now dated Jan 31, which they hadn't been
when I started, so I assumed I just needed new boot media. Here, we run into
madness. There isn't anything in the likely directory:
download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc64/images
In .../ppc/images, there's a boot.iso, so I grabbed that, filled in the
stage2.img and a few related files, just to see whether I could run anything
at all. That boot image boots (yay!), and lets me fetch stage2.img (yay!).
Then it asserts that there was an error retrieving the installation file.
Poking in webserver logs reveals it is trying to find "product.img".
Only, I haven't seen anything named that EVER. So I can't imagine what it's
looking for, or what failure mode caused it to start looking for this file.
At this point, I'm a fair bit stumped. I am not deeply wedded to running
development releases. That said, I'd be happy to run one, if I can figure
out what useful clue I'm missing for the install. It seems very much as
though the "development" tree is being updated live on the server, because
there's new dates and some files not yet present. But the test trees don't
seem to work.
So...
1. Am I even barking up the right tree? Do quad G5's run Linux? Do they
run Fedora in particular? Are test/development releases the way to go?
2. Assuming it might be productive for me to install a test release, is
there some obvious pilot error in trying to boot from the boot.iso image
and load the files from .../development/ppc64?

Wayward Battery Indicator
by Joel Rittvo
For the past few days, the battery indicator (from klaptop?) that is
supposed to sit in the notification area of the KDE taskbar is instead
locating itself at the extreme left side of the taskbar. What package
do I file a bug against?

Boot splashscreen missing function key list (2006-02-01)

I've actually noticed this for a few weeks now, but the "function keys
listed below" mentioned on the default screen are not there.
Jut a nit that someone forgot to put them in the image.

Problems with FC5 test 2
by Linuxer Wang
Hello, all
I am using FC5 test2. The problems:
1. Remote installation: I can't install FC5 test2 from a remote ftp
server. The iso is for DVD. When I tried to connect, it responses:
Unable to get the file ftp://192.168.10.1//fc5/repodata/repomd.xml. The
file IS there, and can be accessed, so I wonder if it should be
192.168.10.1/fc5/, not 192.168.10.1//fc5/?
2. Acrobat 7.0.5 can't start when SELinux is running. I have to disable
the SELinux: setenforce 0, otherwise it will not start. It seems an old
problem in a new release.
3. The start menu and the right side panel always be ready to be dead. I
don't know if it's because there's the configuration files from the last
FC4 gnome. I will delete them for a test.
The good news is: Speed Step and ALSA works for the first time on my
laptop. I will never be forced to use OSS.
