f9:beta anaconda crush
by Yonas Abraham
Hi,
I have several R60 laptops that I am testing F9 beta on them. I can
install fine from DVD both i386 or x86_64 versions with out any
problem.
But when I try to use KS to install vi http from
http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/9-Beta/Fedora/i386/os/
or http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/9-Beta/Fedora/x86_64...
I get a trace back on an exception. UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec
can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 19: ordinal not in range(128)
Both of them fail at around 23/930 packages installed. The trace back
show that both of them fail at a point when It try to install
firmware. (rt73usb-firmware-1.8-4.noarch)
I have read a a trend with the same "UnicodeDecodeError" error on the
ML, but that one was involved when users try to install F8 using
non-english language.
any Idea?
I have the traceback saved for both 32 and 64 bit tries, I can post it
if it help.

Rawhide rpms had keys removed?
by Bruno Wolff III
It looks like the rawhide rpms had the rawhide key removed last night, but
didn't get the release key added. Is there a reason that this gets done in
two steps instead of just one?

should gphoto launch automatically?
by Joe Smith
It did for me with F8, but not now for F9beta.
I can run gthumb and File > Import Photos. The camera is detected
correctly and I can download photos, it just doesn't launch gphoto when
I plug in the camera.
I have (almost) no idea how that process actually works--hal? dbus?--so
I don't know where to start investigating whether there's a problem.
There's nothing weird looking in /var/log/messages

Intel + hi-res video on rawhide = problems
by Martin Sourada
Hi,
I'm having hard time trying to sanely play hi-res (meaning with higher
resolution than plain PAL or NTFS; all uses h264 for video) videos on
Rawhide. Xine-based applications all crash with SEGFAULT (I tried totem
and gxine), mplayer works only with X11 and gl2 (this one is terribly
slow, compared to X11 and gl2 on F8) video outputs, only gstreamer based
applications seems to behave decently.
Where might be the problem? I don't mind very much that I am able to
play such videos decently only in totem with gst backend, but I quite
like -ass option for subtitles in mplayer (among others), so I'd
appreciate if this would be fixed. What is the best component(s) to fill
a bug against (at first I thought that the intel driver might be at
fault, but since it works with gstreamer...)? Is this a known issue?
Thanks,
Martin

Rhythmbox
by Antonio M
I am using Rhythmbox to connect to radio stations.
I am experiencing small interruptions, let me say about two per song and I
see the buffer blue line moving (I guess that buffer is getting empty from
time to time).
What shall I look, quality of ADSL connection (that is always larger than
5500 bbps), any configuration of Rhythmbox or what else???

Konsole problem
by Anne Wilson
In theory it is possible to set up a profile for a root konsole, with the
command either 'su - /bin/bash' or 'sudo /bin/bash'. In practice neither
works. With the first example The root profile flickers up and immediately
dies, without asking for the password. The second case asks for password,
but refuses both user and root passwords. My choice is to get the first
working, but at the moment neither are any use.
sudoers is set to allow members of the wheel group access to ALL but with
password, and I've checked that I'm in that group.
I can't think what else could be blocking this. Any ideas?

kstars livelocks
by Paul Dickson
I BZ'd this a while ago, but the problem continues. This message is in
the hope of flushing out more data.
Usually when I start kstars, the program livelocks before the words of
the tips dialog are rendered. Sometimes, it runs long enough to dismiss
the tips dialog and invoke another dialog (set time) and then it locks
up after dismissing that. On the only other type of run, after missing
the tips dialog, the sky ran for about 30 seconds before locking up.
By livelock, I mean the program uses 100% CPU time with no program. I
terminate program by using the window manager's X, and then selecting
Force Quit.

Problems with ndiswrapper and F9
by Arch Willingham
I have been rocking along using F9 with ndiswrapper 1.52 ever since the beta came out a few weeks ago. I compile it from the source and it has always worked well. On Friday, I updated via YUM and rebooted on Saturday morning. After I rebooted and then recompiled, it would no longer work ( I could no longer get wireless to connect). The messages in the dmesg log are shown below. Unfortunately, I need this laptop and had to reinstall something to be able to work so I reinstalled FC8 which is now working fine.

Volume control wheel
by Antonio M
In some kernel volume control wheel was working fine on my Acer 5720 laptop.
Now it is sitting on the side of my box with no job to carry out :-)
What happened in the meantime ??? (sorry but I don't know what was the
workingg kernel as I didn't use the wheel for a while...)
