UDF-fs What is it?
by Simon Slater
G'day all,
My daughter was given a DVD with photos on it. I can't open it with
Konqueror. Dmesg says UDF-fs: No fileset found. What is the problem?
How do I fix it?
Thanks

I have now had an instance of this occurring. As the original
writer said, the pm-suspend.log ends with successful suspend,
and no entries for the failed restore!

EXT3 corruption and sd,sr drivers
by Mike Yates
Suddenly, this week, following a new kernel for FC8, I'm getting (on booting):
Nov 8 15:49:29 hawksvr5 kernel: Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
Nov 8 15:49:29 hawksvr5 kernel: Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
This is the kernel added on 4 Nov:-
Linux hawksvr5.local 2.6.26.6-49.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Oct 17 15:59:36 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I strongly suspect it has something to do with alarming corruption of EXT3 directories, in one case the parent of userspaces, scattering their 80 GB contents to the four winds (or at least lost+found)!
Corrupted directory entries look like this:-
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? bd1931574.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? bd321925.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? bd3435480.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? bd5221063.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? bd52302.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? bd5623590.log
-????????? ? ? ? ? ? bd605128.log
Is anyone else getting this?

utf-8 typing problem in X
by Carlo Nyto
I have a problem with Fedora 9 - if I type in X, whether it is in a
firefox window, a gaim window, an xterm, a gnome-terminal, a gvim
window, it will randomly switch to some Unicode part of the character
set. The text is still legible, however it is rendered wrong (with
unnecessary space after each character). Besides being hard to read,
it makes it impossible to program, and impossible to guarantee that
the recipient of a message will have the ability to properly view the
text. I have found no way to switch back, however on occasion it will
do so randomly.
It resets back to normal if I close and re-open the window. Typing in
a browser window is a simply terrible idea. I have taken to typing in
a gvim window, and restarting gvim when the keyboard input switches. I
have found no way to convert the text to the proper part of the
character set, and cut-n-paste preserves the problem. I've also
mitigated it somewhat by only using windows, not tabs, with firefox.
The real mistake was using Fedora 9 in the first place, but I had no
idea how bad it would be - between problems like this that are
impossible to troubleshoot, and an X server that won't listen on TCP
without me making source changes. While the quality of Fedora 9 has
made it clear to me that I should never use Fedora again, I still am
stuck using it for a few days.
This is how it looks after getting in that state. You see how much
Iwas able to type until the problem reoccurred. And this time, I was
lucky that it went back to normal quite quickly. A capital T is, in
hex, ef bc b4.
I'm disappointed that Fedora is becoming less usable with each
release. At work we're a RedHat customer, and if Fedora is really the
beta(or even alpha) test for RedHat, I'm quite concerned for the
future of Linux in the enterprise. Still, I'm going to not personally
worry about this, and switch to Ubuntu soon.

Inspiron 9400 with Nvidia. It seems the same thing occasionally
happens to me, after being faultless on previous kernels. I believe it
gets as far as lighting the backlight, but no further. No known
messages. I have not used any manual quirks for some time. I hope you
can work out how to word the Bugzilla!

RPM Fusion repo?
by Mark Haney
I've been WAY out of the loop on Fedora here recently. What's up with
the Fusion Repo gpg key I had to import this morning? Based on the
'(non-free)' in the description, I'm going to assume this will be a repo
for non-GPL (or incompatible to the GPL) licensed software?
