[off topic(slightly)] New hardware compatibility
by Fulko.Hew@sita.aero
Although slightly off topic, who best to comment on new hardware
compatibility, than new software testers!
I need to buy a new, replacement laptop and am looking at the
Dell Inspiron 9400. But I'm concerned with the compatibility/driver
issues especially w.r.t the video and audio support.
For video, this machine can have either the onboard Intel 950,
ATI x1400, or NVidia GeoForce Go 7900 GS at resolutions of either
1920x1080 or 1680x1050.
Does Xorg therefore FC6 drive these resolutions on these video chips?
Also, you get your choice of audio, is audio in _and_ out supported?
Can anybody with one of these notebooks share their experiences?
TIA

RE: yum broken
by Pete Pinter
Another approach is to pull the latest rawhide version of yum (yum-2.9.5-4.noarch.rpm) from one of the mirrors and perform a:
rpm -Uvh yum-2.9.5-4.noarch.rpm
... which will get you back on track.
For example, I'm using a x86 box, so I found the latest yum at:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
Hth,

What is broken is the installonlyn plugin. My guess is that there was an incompatible change to yum core and the plugin was not updated. As a temporary fix, move the installonlyn.* files from /usr/lib/yum-plugins. That will let yum work without the plugin.

Re: fonts look horrible after recent FC5 update

Take a look at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8097
I also noticed horrid font rendering after getting new FC5 dejavu updates this morning
and have been updating the above bugzilla. The .font.conf file in there seems to fix
things for me (but it doesn't seem good that you need to change the default
rendering to make things readable).

yum broken
by sidney dunham
Yum is broken after the most recent update. could anyone tell me how to
get it going again. package manager and piruit are are also broken.
Some one mentioned about reverting to fedora core 5 yum how would I go
about that. I retreived the RPMS from the development list. could not
install from terminal said they conflicted with yum-2.9.5-3. Can not
remove yum-2.9.5-3 because of dependencies with yum-metadata-parser.
Have Googled this no help there. Does anyone have any ideas. All help
would be appreciated Thanks in advance

Fedora Core 5 Test Update: at-spi-1.7.7-1.fc5.3
by Matthias Clasen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2006-947
2006-09-01
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 5
Name : at-spi
Version : 1.7.7
Release : 1.fc5.3
Summary : Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface
Description :
at-spi allows assistive technologies to access GTK-based
applications. Essentially it exposes the internals of applications for
automation, so tools such as screen readers, magnifiers, or even
scripting interfaces can query and interact with GUI controls.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The at-spi libraries in FC5 contain a reference counting
bug that causes all desktop applications to crash on 64bit
systems if accessibility support is enabled.
The updated packages contain a fix for this problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Thu Aug 31 2006 Matthias Clasen <mclasen(a)redhat.com> - 1.7.7-1.fc5.3
- Apply an upstream fix which should make accessibility
work on 64bit systems again
- Fix BuildRequires
---------------------------------------------------------------------
