Fedora Core 5 Test Update: policycoreutils-1.30.1-2.fc5
by Daniel J Walsh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2006-205
2006-03-23
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 5
Name : policycoreutils
Version : 1.30.1
Release : 2.fc5
Summary : SELinux policy core utilities.
Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a feature 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.
policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required
for basic operation of a SELinux system. These utilities include
load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole
to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper
context.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update SELinux tool chain and policy to released version at
NSA. Policy update fixes several bugs.

Fedora Core 5 Test Update: libsemanage-1.6-1.fc5
by Daniel J Walsh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2006-205
2006-03-23
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 5
Name : libsemanage
Version : 1.6
Release : 1.fc5
Summary : SELinux binary policy manipulation library
Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a feature 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.
libsemanage provides an API for the manipulation of SELinux binary policies.
It is used by checkpolicy (the policy compiler) and similar tools, as well
as by programs like load_policy that need to perform specific transformations
on binary policies such as customizing policy boolean settings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update SELinux tool chain and policy to released version at

Fedora Core 5 Test Update: libglade2-2.5.1-4.fc5.1
by Matthias Clasen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2006-215
2006-03-23
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 5
Name : libglade2
Version : 2.5.1
Release : 4.fc5.1
Summary : The libglade library for loading user interfaces.
Description :
Libglade is a small library that allows a program to load its user
interface from am XML description at runtime. Libglade uses the XML
file format used by the GLADE user interface builder GLADE, so
libglade acts as an alternative to GLADE's code generation
approach. Libglade also provides a simple interface for connecting
handlers to the various signals in the interface (on platforms where
the gmodule library works correctly, it is possible to connect all the
handlers with a single function call). Once the interface has been
instantiated, libglade gives no overhead, so other than the short
initial interface loading time, there is no performance tradeoff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
A new libglade package has been released that fixes a
problem when setting the "invisible" character (in password
entries)
to a non-ASCII character.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Thu Mar 23 2006 Matthias Clasen <mclasen(a)redhat.com> - 2.5.1-4.fc.1
- Make non-ASCII invisible characters work

FC5 Introduces Gremlins in my Hardware
by McBroom, Robert C
I have a system built on an IWILL motherboard with a P4 2.5 processor.
It has a second ATA133 IDE channel in addition to the ATA100 IDE
primary. I've been running FEDORA on a Maxtor 120G ATA133 drive. This
drive shows up as hde following the two hard drives and the cdrom drives
on the IDE primary. GRUB sees it as hd2. The drive had the following
partition setup with three primary partitions and a block of logical
partitions:
Fat
Ntfs
Fedora boot
Logical
-------
Fedora
Ntfs
Ntfs
FC5T3 did not like that the boot drive followed the ntfs partition and
the setup of the LVM partition in the first logical partition put it in
the middle of the existing partition with free space on either side.
With the boot partition remapped as partition 2 FC5T3 installed. It
split the fedora partition for a swap as well as mapping in the swap
partitions on hda and hdb. Followed the updates on RAWHIDE to the final
at the end of last week.
Then, GRUB can't find the boot partition or any other partition beyond
the first FAT.
The rescue disk finds the installation. Copied the kernel files to the
SLACKWARE boot partition on hda3, edited the GRUB configuration files to
reflect the change and the system boots. Examining the system from the
gui shows everything to be in its place, but fdisk displays the drive in
raw chs format instead of LBA.
CYLINDERS 232581 HEADS 16 SECTORS 63
FDISK complains about the partition boundaries not matching the
cylinders.
>From SLACKWARE fdisk has no problems with the partition boundaries and
shows the original LBA format with
CYLINDERS 14593 HEADS 255 SECTORS 63
Updated to rawhide 0322 and kernel 2074. Symptoms remain the same.

Overhead on Core5 Compared to Core4
by Leslie S Satenstein
Is there any information about the differences in overhead between Core5 versus Core4. Gnome in Core5 test was fast, I am not finding it so in Core5 Go live release.
So far, I found a lot of pluses in the areas of graphics resolutions, sound management, but I also found some negatives for other things (games).
Are there parameters to tweek, so that the games in Core5 execute as well as they did in Core5 test3 or as they do in core4? I use game response times to determine latency (in a qualitive way) between the two systems.
Yes, it is true, Core test3 version with the patches as of March 15th for games was providing better results than the current Core5 DVD download (no patches yet applied)... I am waiting for one week before looking for updates.

libswt3 cannot be oppened during FC5 installation
by Fulko Hew
I just tried installing FC5 from DVD...
I went through and selected all the major groups
and their sub-packages that I either wanted to
install, or wanted to play with post-install.
After a few minutes of installation, I get a
pop-up that says:
"The file libswt3-gtk2-3.1.2-1jpp_13fc.i386.rpm
cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file
or perhaps a corrupt package. If you are
installing from CD media this usually means
the CD media is corrupt, or the CD drive is
unable to read the media."
I'm going to try again, but this time not install
everything I want during 'install' time, but try
to do it after the fact.
Comments, or Bugzilla it?
TIA

SCIM package repo for RHEL4
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen
For people who want to use or test SCIM [1] on RHEL 4,
an unofficial yum repo of scim packages is available at
http://people.redhat.com/petersen/scim/
for i386 and x86_64. The packages are currently from Fedora Extras 3
and of course unsupported on RHEL. They are to be used at your own
risk and please report problems directly to me.
