gnome is dead (kind of) since 2/1/2006 updates
by Brian Millett
I need some good advice on how to debug this problem.
I have yum updated rawhide today (2/2/2006) on a x86 toshiba laptop and I
still have a kind of broken gnome that broke 2/1/2006.
What I mean is that as my current user, I try to startx from runlevel 3 and
it goes for a while and then dies and I am back at the command prompt. I
can add a new user and login as that user and can startx just fine as a new
virgin user. But from my old user, gnome will not start.
I do not have any error messages in /var/log/messages nor
/var/log/Xorg.0.log nor any where else that I can think of.
How do I debug this? Can X be started in a verbose debug mode?
I'd like to file a bugzilla, but on what? System is hosed is not a menu
item, nor very helpful.
Thanks.

bad depenency on gnome-games
by Jason Dravet
Per the gnome-games upstream maintainer gnome-games should not depend on
gstreamer08. I opened
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179769 to have the
dependency updated.
>Does any know if gnome-games has been updated to use gstreamer 0.10? A
>funny thing is gnome-games only requires gstreamer and not
>gstreamer-plugins. Is this a requirements bug? I am running fedora core
>rawhide and gnome-games-2.13.6.
>
This would appear to be a bug where some test code slipped into the CVS
repository without being disabled. There is currently no need for
gnome-games to depend on gstreamer (although I hope to use it
eventually).
The problem has been fixed in the CVS repository.

Latets yum thoroughly hosed?!
by Horst H. von Brand
i686, Fedora rawhide up to date (except for neon, rpm*, subversion; blocked
by OOo).
Just updated, now I have yum-2.5.1-3. Running yum just to make sure
everything is now up-to-date gets to more than a minute (!) of CPU time
while checking the local repo data, and OOMs the machine, filling up swap
and making it nearly unresponsive. Only way out is kill -KILL, AFAICS.
Just too bad I can't find an old yum RPM lying around just now...

libneon.so.24 Update Missing?

No matter how I shake the salt - this pepper comes out the wrong way:
--> Processing Dependency: libneon.so.24 for package: openoffice.org-core
--> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency:
libneon.so.24 is needed by package ( ... damn near everything this go
around... )
Ideas? =)

rawhide build today?
by Brian C. Huffman
I don't see a build report nor do I see any files in rawhide from the
2nd. What happened? I know we were at least awaiting the fix for the
known yum (actually python, I think) bug.

How to determine package maintainers?
by Fulko.Hew@sita.aero
Although my problem is specifically with Core 4 and the Livna repository,
my question is generic...
How do you find out who the maintainer of a specific package is?
I've just upgraded? to Core 4, and one of my requirements is Audacity.
The version I fetched from Livna, so Livna and freshrpms is now in
my repository list, but this version of Audacity has some strange
behaviour:
1/ the fonts are too big for the buttons now.
2/ (for example) when you click on the title/menu of a track,
the button gets highlighted(depressed), but the menu only
appears some of the time.
3/ when recording a track, it results with a random DC offset.
(I don't know if this is repeatable yet.)
4/ Now when I do a 'yum upgrade', I get a dependency message:
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package wxGTKi386 0:2.6.2-0.2.2-fc4 set to be upgraded
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: libwx-gtk-2.4.so(GTK2_2.4) for package: audacity
--> Processing Dependency: libwx-gtk-2.4.so for package: audacity
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libwx-gtk-2.4.so(GTK2_2.4) is needed by package
audacity
Error: Missing Dependency: libwx-gtk-2.4.so is needed by package audacity
# 2 is the show-stopper right now, the rest are just anoying.

OOo not working Q
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
It looks, from the throwback, that the problem is Java related. Is there
any way to disable Java (either gcj or Sun's flavour) in
the .openoffice.org-2.0 directory or is it a global thing?
I did delete the Java_x86.xml file (well, rename it), but it was put
back on by OOo as the gcj version (it was the Sun version) so it must be
set somewhere else.
