lost most gdm features/functions after today's update...
by Tom London
After today's new packages, I seem to have lost most window manager features:
I cannot raise windows by usual cursor/button actions, I've lost the
window-manager frame around my windows, starting an app from the panel
creates the window in the absolute upper left position of the screen,
overlaying the panel, my window selector applet reports that I have no
windows, and the 'show desktop applet' says:
Your window manager does not support the show desktop button, or you
are not running a window manager.
I've tried 'backing out' gtk2 and xorg-x11-xinit, but still not working.
Any ideas?

kernel-2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 still won't boot Promise Raid 0 LVM Set
by Andrew Gray
Under kernel-2.6.16-1.2133 my system boots a raid 0 volume on a Promise
PDC 20376 that looks like:-
[root@www ~]# dmraid -s
*** Active Set
name : pdc_fiagfhab
size : 625163264
stride : 128
type : stripe
status : ok
subsets: 0
devs : 2
spares : 0
All FC5 kernel-2.6.17's including 2145 won't boot on my system. The
boot volume is a raid
0 array on a Promise PDC20376 (FastTrak) :-
#Loading jbd.ko module
#Loading ext3.ko module
#Locading dm-mod.ko module
#device-mapper: 4.6.0-ioctl (2006-02-17) initialised:
dm-devel(a)redhat.com
#Loading dm-mirror.ko module
#Loading dm-zero.ko module
#Loading dm-snapshot.ko module
#Making device-mapper control mode
Kernel 2.6.17-2145_FC5 Then hangs !!
I am presuming kernel-2.6.17 kernels doesn't boot because it is not
recognising my LVM volume setup with 2.6.16 kernel
using /dev/mapper/pdc_fiagfhabp2 on the Promise PDC20376. Maybe it has
changed the device mapper name for this device? :-
VolGroup00 {
id = "4NcUZI-LeMy-MC6H-V3hJ-vRmm-BVK5-OKEi8R"
seqno = 3
status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"]
extent_size = 65536 # 32 Megabytes
max_lv = 0
max_pv = 0
physical_volumes {
pv0 {
id = "Pf0oSr-CTGB-9iGn-42Xz-TYOt-z0DT-t2YUIK"
device = "/dev/mapper/pdc_fiagfhabp2" #Hint only
status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
pe_start = 384
pe_count = 9535 # 297.969 Gigabytes
}
}
logical_volumes {
LogVol00 {
id = "7ZvkdR-OZbv-N5T6-aqNW-44io-H2pv-wIgN43"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
segment_count = 1
segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 9472 # 296 Gigabytes
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 0
]
}
}
LogVol01 {
id = "D1PqSj-Giji-IhD3-AtXU-jtFk-hl2D-3fP24h"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
segment_count = 1
segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 62 # 1.9375 Gigabytes
type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1 # linear
stripes = [
"pv0", 9472
]
}
}
}
}
Any ideas how to debug the boot problem with Kernel 2.6.17 FC5 and
Promise RAID controllers when the system won't boot with a 2.6.17 FC5
kernel?

There's a number of suspend issues right now, I'm going to start digging through
them soon, as some of them are easy pickings, it's just getting around to
doing the work.

Announcing Fedora Core 6 Test 1 (5.90)
by Jesse Keating
Just two years ago, a brave test pilot by the name of Mike Melvill
successfully guided SpaceShipOne 62 miles above California, USA,
overcoming technical problems that could have proven tragic to become
the first civilian to reach space, part of a team effort that won the
ANSARI X Prize. A team of civilians working together to accomplish a
dream, an unbelievable goal.
Today, we of the Fedora Project send our "test pilot" out into the
world, hoping to do the impossible. Improve upon the last release! (:
Fedora Core 6 Test 1 (5.90) Now Available
==================================
The Fedora Project announces the first release of the Fedora Core 6
development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and ppc/ppc64
architectures, including Intel based Macintosh computers. Beware that
Test releases are recommended only for Linux experts/enthusiasts or for
the technology evaluation, as many parts are likely to be broken adn the
rate of change is rapid.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule
Test 2 is scheduled for release July 19, marking the developmental
freeze of the Fedora Core 6 release. No new features after this point.
It is important that we get your help in testing, reporting and
suggesting fixes for bugs, and directing the technological improvements
we attempt with this release of Fedora Core. Please direct bugs to
http://bugzilla.redhat.com, product Fedora Core, Version fc6test1. As
always, be sure that your bug is not already fixed by updates and search
for existing bugs before filing.
Thanks to all in the Fedora Project Community who have contributed to
this release. Your continued efforts are what makes Fedora possible.
Downloads
=========
DVD, CD and network installation are available.
Please read the Important Warnings below in this announcement for more
details.
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
The recommended method of download is via BitTorrent from this site.
http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html
HTTP, FTP, and RSYNC downloads are available from Fedora Project mirrors
listed above. Note that not all mirrors may be synced at this time.
Notable Features of FC6 Test 1
==============================
* Support for the Intel based Macintosh platform, see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraOnMactel
* ipv6 support in the installer
* scim-bridge for improved i18n input
* puplet applet for update notifications
* new printing system (new system-config-printer, cups 1.2, new GTK+
printing technology)
* gnome 2.15
* kde 3.5.3
* 1600+ Extras packages conveniently available via yum
Have fun testing and never stop reaching for the stars!
