The section that you posted was a little out of line, Craig, granted.
However. Your response is also indicative of the exact problem he's referring
to!
The users and bug reports are, by and large, irrelevant. Mine certainly have
been. As I said, sometimes I did not give enough info, but it also really
didn't *matter*.
For example, pulseaudio. It was introduced in a state that was pretty much
unusable for me. Sound only started working when I turned it off. I filed a
bug report. I supplied all the info requested. As I remember, might as well
have been a black hole. Someone insisted it wasn't even a bug. I responded,
yes, it was. They said I didn't put it in the right place. I responded, then
move it to the right place instead of closing it. Someone said "yeah, you're
probably right, but too bad." Bug closed. Got fixed on its own accord at some
point in the future. Until then I just disabled pulseaudio.
What about selinux? At the SCALE conference, Karsten Wade gave the keynote
and acknowledged that selinux was handled badly, and also acknowledged that it
was a huge PR problem - people are still reflexively turning it off because of
the damage the Fedora project did to its reputation. I can't even turn it on
at my workplace because no one trusts it - and FEDORA did that! Fedora, and
Red Hat.
And it's not getting any better, at least from my experience.
We are *not* irrelevant. I'm not, and neither is the OP, and the attitude
that says we are is the *problem*.

Home directory files invisible!
by John Hartgraves
I've had a strange problem occurring lately - after a reboot my home
folder's contents aren't shown in nautilus or thunar, and ls -a hangs when
ran as a user. ls -a runs correctly and shows all the files when ran as
root. I have checked the folder and file permissions for the folder and they
are all normal - Create and Delete access for my user. Sometimes a reboot
will fix the issue. Very irritating bug.

preupgrade is aborting
by Kevin Cummings
The time has come for me to upgrade my F10 server to something more
recent. Right now, I don't care if its to F11 or F12. Neither is
working for me.
OK, so, I invoke "preupgrade" to do the work.
After some initial chugging, it dies with the message:
> requested datatype primary not available
This is strange. I *just* finished preupgrading my F12 test system to
F13 Beta. That went fine (compared to this, OK, I had to find a valid
install.img file and type the new URL in by hand, but that's minor
compared to this problem).
Seems I can't even get started.
Things I've tried:
1) I edited my /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora*.repo files so that the baseurls
point to fedoraproject.org instead of redhat.com
no difference
2) yum clean all
no difference
3) (cd /var/cache; mv yum yum.f10)
no difference
4) preupgrade --clean
no difference
The GUI error box seems to indicate that "This could be caused by a
missing network connection or a bad mirror."
Has anyone else seen this? I'd like to be able to upgrade my server....
The error message gives *me* no indication of *which* repo it is having
problems with. Is it the last one listed in the xterm I invoked it
from? Or maybe the "next" one (which I can't tell because it hasn't
printed anything yet)?
If I click on the RETRY button, I get a different error:
> Repository preupgrade-main is listed more than once in the configuration
Any ideas on how to work around this?

New Kernel still will not boot
by George R Goffe
Howdy,
I'm running 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE on my laptop with this video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M (rev a1)
I am still experiencing a hang during boot; the original kernel works great (2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686* kernels)
case 1:
o reboot on console
o hit enter at the grub prompt; default = kernel above
o freeze happens at what appears to be some kind of graphics event near what could be nouveau initialization
case 2:
o power reset
o type "e" at grub prompt; default = kernel above
o down arrow to "kernel" line, type "e"
o hit escape
o hit escape
o boot proceeds "normally" with the system and graphics card functional.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to how to proceed?
Regards,
George...

FC12 - messed up system trays and lost weather
by Robert Moskowitz
I was again trying to get my external monitor on my KVM working (that
failed, I guess nothing changed in X11org all these months), and with
the resolution dropping down at one point, it seems things got
rearranged and I can't put humpty dumpty back together again.
Oh, I deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf after trying some things and failing,
so I THINK I am back to 'defaults'.
On the top tray, date/time is to the left of volume, network, and
battery and I cannot move it to the right of them where it use to be.
And weather and temp are not showing, even though they are selected.
On the bottom tray, trash is to the left of the 4 workspaces selector
and I can't move back to the right of them.
How do I put things back as they were? (I suppose the only IMPORTANT
thing is getting weather and temp showing again).

Packagekit bug icon not disappearing in F11!
by mike cloaked
I have machines running both F11 and F12 - in F12 if there are updates
available then the PackageKit icon pops onto the (gnome) taskbar, and
if I then use yum on the CLI to update the system the icon on the
taskbar goes away once the updates are complete. Presumably if I
allowed PackageKit to run the updates then the same would happen.
(Often I update from another machine via ssh which is why yum is my
preferred update method)
On the other hand on my F11 machine when the updates notification pops
up, if I use yum to update the system then the icon remains and does
not magically disappear from the taskbar until I log out and back in
again - this is with the gnome desktop.
Am I alone or do other users see this also? It is not a major problem
but is a slight irritation!

32bit vs 64bit in the filesystem structures
by George R Goffe
Howdy,
I'm trying to find out if there are any dependencies within the specific filesystem structures that are specific to 32bit and 64bit.
As far as I know you can mount a filesystem created on an x86_64 system on a x86 machine without any problems but this could just be that I have not been bitten yet and I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Is there a good place to go to find the answer to this question?
Regards and thanks for your time,
George...

Clearly there is a problem with the includes. Either avutil.h is not
installed at all, or it is installed somewhere else. If it is installed,
but somewhere else, you have two choices: make a symlink at
../libavutil/avutil.h pointing back to whereever the file actually is,
or find the source.c file which is looking for avutil.h (using grep) and
fix the include call to #include=avutil.h or /ffmpeg/avutil.h or whatever.
If it is not installed something has gone very wrong!
And could you please take the time to trim your posts..please?
