Screen in development crashes
by Jesse Keating
So https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202480 is really
causing me some headaches. I IRC from screen, I build packages in screen, I
compose trees, etc.. so I'm pretty motivated to get this fixed. However,
attaching a debugger to screen is less than easy (:
So... who would like to help us fix this bug? It seems to me that it isn't
specifically screen, but something that screen uses, so that's pretty fun to
work though...

FC6 t2 rescue mode problems
by Adam Huffman
Owing to the problem listed in bug 202139, I am unable to boot my laptop
with the current test2 installation. I've been trying to use rescue
mode to install a non-Xen kernel.
The first problem I noticed was that bringing up a network interface did
not work - /usr/bin/ifconfig was not found.
The second problem was that installing the kernel once chrooted into the
installed system did not work - there was a complaint about not being
able to find /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/rpm/Basenames, even though that file
is present.
The third problem was that I tried to get around this by installing the
kernel manually. When I tried using mkinitrd, there was an error,
complaining that /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions was not found. I didn't
really expect mkinitrd to work, but I doubt it should have this error.

However the load attempt stalls and hangs for more than 20 minutes.
The NFS server is active, the files are present in the specified locations,
and the files are up-to-date.

Trying to find where an mbox lives in Evolution
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm still having fun and games trying to get sa-learn to do as it's
told. The problem is not sa-learn, but where the junk mbox lives.
According to the xml file, it should be in email:local@local//.%
23evolution/mail/junk. %23 I'll take as being "#" (%20 = space = 32
ASCII). Doesn't exist.
I've looked in /var/mail, inside of the .evolution directories and
anywhere else it could reasonably be. I've never set up a separate
directory for junk (always just used the default), so there is no .junk
directory in my homedir. There is junk in the folder as I can select the
junk folder and read the emails in there.
Where does the junk live in evolution 2.7.91-1? I have spam which I need
sa-learn to learn!
TTFN

05:06.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05)
This system is also successfully running multi-boot with XP and FC5 with
WiFi and nVidia kmdl RPMS from ATrpms. Graphics are often somewhat
garbled with "pixel dithering" when using the xorg nv driver rather than
the nVidia proprietary driver but restarting X always seems to fix the
problem.
Had previously installed FC6test1 which installed OK but I was unable to
get WiFi working. No ATrpms kernel modules except for original
installed kernel which was removed by updates before trying ATrpms.
ATrpms ipw3945 rebuilds from sources failed - have not pursued.
OK - now on to Test2: FC6test2 Upgrade with NFS from DVD iso image - OK
ATrpms modules for ipw3945 and ieee80211 load but lock up machine.
Networking takes a LONG time to get DHCP address. VC3 shows repeated
"INFO : libdhcp_check"
and finally
"DHCPv6 eth0 - state: DHC_TIMEOUT"
then it works.
Garbled pixels problem persists. Many things seemed badly broken
including Gnome windows (as noted on the list in previous threads)
yum and smart. Decided to try a fresh install.
FC6test2 Install with NFS from DVD iso image
Garbled graphics on install make it unreadable.
Text install - OK except for long Ethernet delay and "Cryllic"
characters in
background - disconcerting but apparently innocuous (BZ
#201457).Selected
Development, Science/Engr and KDE packages in addition to default.
Reboot OK except came up in text mode. Configured firewall from
text-mode and ran system-config-display. The nv driver was selected by
default but attempting to configure Hardware/Monitor Type does nothing
(BZ #201600). Video Card showed as Unknown even after selecting or
resetting defauls. Only 800x600 and 640x480 available and USB mouse does
not work - touchpad does. (BZ #202062).
Updated with ATrpms FC6 repo enabled (which is against my usual
practice, but hey - its a test/rawhide system and a fresh install at
that) and installed nvidia-graphics8762 and deps for kernel
2.6.17-1.2517.fc6. Worked around system-config-display by using
xorg.conf from FC6test1 install - which is using nv not nvidia. USB
mouse now working. Could not install ipw3945 and deps due to mismatch
with installed/available kernels.
Fonts look bad (rough) in KDE. Tried turning on font aliasing in
Control Panel to no avail. In Evolution only the initial portion of the
Subject lines is displayed. Similar problems with menus but they look
better after refresh by mousing over. Have yet to try suggested fixes
to change all font settings from "Sans" to "DejaVu LGC Sans" or "DejaVu
LGC Sans Mono" for the fixed width font.
Tried Gnome. Fonts look better but no window manager controls. Running
remote X session on FC5 to be able to work.
Tried several more attempts to update without getting any new packages.
Tried "yum clean all" and then cleared out /var/cache/yum with still no
new packages. Found available packages in development/extras were older
than FC5t2.
Commented out "mirrorlist" and uncommented "baseurl" for both
development and extras-development. Got 271 new packages after
excluding xerces-j2 which has a broken dep
on /usr/sbin/update-alternatices (as noted in "rawhide report: 20060813
changes). Update still running as of this writing. Appears some
mirrors are seriously out of date with test/rawhide.

When I try to access the archives of the test list and the users list I
get a screen to install evolution. If I cancel the install procedure it
closes the archive. Is Evolution the only browser we are allowed to
use? It is strictly a personal thing but I don't want to install Evolution.
