usb hotplug doesnt seem to work anymore, after last yum update
by LarryT
Hi !
After last update of fc6-test1, i see that usb hotplug doesnt seem to
work anymore, i mean is no more auto-mounted
Device is recognized and partitions can be known with "fdisk -l", but
none is auto-mounted, inspite of the fact that i have enable it in
gnome-volume-properties.
[johndoe@ws044 ~]$ gnome-volume-properties --version
Gnome gnome-volume-manager 1.5.15
Kernel : 2.6.17-1.2396.fc6

Sun Java plugin won't work with SELinux enforcing in FC6 test 1
by Stanton Finley
In FC5 with SELinux enforcing I am able to get the Sun Java plugin to
work with a "setsebool -P allow_execstack=1" and a "setsebool -P
allow_execmod=1". With FC6 I have to disable SELinux altogether (do a
"setenforce 0" or add "selinux=0" on the kernel line
in /boot/grub/grub.conf and reboot) in order for the Sun Java plugin to
work in Firefox. Also I notice that in Gnome "System" > "Administration"
> "Security Level and Firewall" on the "SELinux" tab under "Modify
SELinux Policy" > "Compatibility" the option "Allow the use of shared
libraries with Text Relocation" is no longer available (which I believe
would also solve the Java plugin issue and other issues). Any ideas?

Strangeness with recent FC5 update
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Yesterday yum update installed a new kernel et al.
For some reason /etc/inittab was renamed to /etc/inittab.rpmsave.
rc.local got the same treatment.
I had to use a live Linux CD to repair the damage before
FC5 would boot properly.
Why would RPM mess with these files? Any other files hosed
that I should worry about?

development/i386/os/Fedora/base/*stage2.img vanished
by Chris Tyler
I was going to test some rawhide installs to USB drives today, but the
stage2.img and minstage2.img files have vanished from the
i386/os/Fedora/base directory in the development tree. At first I
thought it was just my mirror here but no such luck. I haven't seen
anything scroll by on the lists about this, anyone know the cause?

k3b unable do umount cdrw for erasing
by LarryT
The problem already exists on fc5.
When trying to burn iso on cdrw not empty, k3b ask to erase it, but k3b
cant umount the device.
One has to run from shell : gnome-umount -d /dev/hdX (where X is the
name of the dev).

Re: DejaVu fonts for Fedora Core 6 feedback call

I've been setting DejaVu as my preferred font in virtually every desktop
application I use since it was first mentioned to me several months ago; and I
must say that I think it's fantastic. It covers all the glyphs I use in both
en_US (US English) and es (Spanish) locales and - so far as I can tell - also
covers most of everything else I come across such as people that I
know ranting
to me in German (de). (I don't understand much of what they're saying, but the
glyphs render nicely! ~_^) It's also *much* clearer than the prior default
fonts in Fedora and a couple of other distros that I've tried.
I'm running on a 17" Amptron CRT at 1400x1050 and 111 DPI (4:3 aspect), on a
Radeon 9250 with EXA and the as-shipped Fedora X.org/Mesa/DRI stuff. An older
screenshot of my font preferences[1] is available and its shown values are
still in use on my system. I'm also using the standard Fedora freetype build.
