Shutdown option for Normal User
by Leslie S Satenstein
Here is my concern. With Gnome, and KDE, the normal user (without root privleges) can do a logoff and/or shutdown. I can see logoff being permitted, but should he be able to do a shutdown without being prompted for the root password?
OK, so he can do it. If we take it way, he can still do a shutdown via the on-off button on the unit. Both Core4 and Core5 respond to a microsecond depress on the power supply button to initiate a shutdown. My crawling grandson, with a curious finger did one for me yesterday. I believe that if possible, the power button the the power supply should be timed so that at least a 1 second depress will trigger a normal shutdown, and the prolonged 4 second depress will let the bios do it's dirty thing.

Passing agp_try_unsupported=1 to the kernel does not work.
Install still hangs starting X.

NFS - mount: permission denied

I can't mount an exported fc5t3 server nfs share from a fc4 client. It

The server is fc5t3 and the client fc4. SELinux is disabled in both.

More about Keyboard Selection
by Leslie S Satenstein
Was very frustrated, after trying Canada multilingual, multilingual 2, Canada French, etc. as the keyboard mappings were or are wrong in that the wrong characters were produced.
In desperation, I clicked on the gnome option to set defaults, When I looked at the consequences, the keyboard chosen was Canadian, and it erased the other two that I chose.
The keyboard is working as I was dreaming it should. The Euro symbol included.
OK, is the title wrong for the keyboard? Have I been choosing the wrong keyboard mapping because of titles? Since I have a working keyboard, I am now left without a reason to complain and lots of happiness at having one buglet less in the system.
Hooray for the kboard fix. I don't care if it is called gronk, or canada, or canada french or whatever, it works.
By the way setxkbmap "ca(fr)" works too now.

Keyboard problem worse than before.
by Leslie S Satenstein
I applied all updates as of 4 March 2006. (As of writing this email). I see two entries in the Keyboard selection. I tried all the French ones and Gnome is screwed up.
Somehow, Firefox does not appear to use x11, so that I am able to type this note. Otherwise, frustration.
I was asked, if I wanted to keep the Gnome keyboard definition or that of X11, and chose x11. Was that a mistake. setxkbmap says it cant find the display when invoked from the command line, and the keystrokes that appear when invoked from the gnome terminal are not comprehensible.
So, as far as I am concerned, I have no keyboard for GUI operations.
My keyboard is the standard Canadian French one. with octothorpe as the left most key under that escape key.

ntpd starts too early?
by Neal Becker
Shouldn't ntpd start after NetworkManager? It isn't on my FC5 box.
Also, chkconfig says NetworkManager only starts in level 5 (not 3). Is this
really correct?
