sun jdk1.4.2_01 plugin crash?
by Klaasjan Brand
Hi,
Anyone got the latest sun jdk + java plugin for mozilla to work?
I've copied the gcc3.2 compiled plugin.so into the
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins directory, but I'm getting a crash on
mozilla (epiphany) whenever there's an applet on the page...

What is the submission process for backgrounds?
by Chuck Talk
Hi,
I was just wondering what the submission process was for backgrounds. I have
some nice phtos from the Silicon Hills of Austin, TX I thought you might
like (looking out over the hills toward Lake Travis. But was wondering what
submission process, format, etc. You might prefer. All copyleft photos given
freely to enjoy.
Sincerely,

Showstopper in the RPM submission procesdure
by Eric S. Raymond
I have spent significant portions of the last couple of days trying to
weap my mind around what Fedora is doing. Let me start off by saying
that I think the direction of the project is wonderful and much
needed. As a system administrator managing three boxes, I love the
prospect of being able to use apt-get or yum to continuously upgrade
my systems without having to go through periodic CD shuffles and
reboots. Thus, I've joined fedora-devel to help.
However, at the moment there is at least one serious practical problem
that loses me as a package contributor. That is the use of Bugzilla
(or any other method that requires manual click-and-confirm) for RPM
submission. Most people maintain one or two packages at most; they
can live with a manual submission process. At last count, I
maintained thirty-seven packages -- thus, I can't. (This is also why
I don't publish through SourceForge.)
What I need is to be able to write an "upload" script for each of my
projects *once* (per project) that remote-scripts the RPM submission
process and all other things I need to do to publish a release. So,
what I need from Fedora is for there to be a submission front end
(call it 'fedora-submit') which, given a collection of RPMS as
arguments, does in a batch mode all that is necessary to upload them
and put them on a submission queue at fedora. It is OK if
fedora-submit requires additional metadata as long as it can all be
specified at start of run by command-line switches.
I asked about this on the IRC channel and was told that Bugzilla has
an XML-RPC interface. If so, writing fedora-submit as an XML-RPC
client ought not be too difficult; I would be surprised if it required
more than 150-200 lines of Python.
I am actually willing to write this myself, if anyone can point me at
documentation for the XML-RPC interface to Bugzilla and is willing to
answer questions about places where the documentation is inadequate.
In the process, I would be willing to help improve the (presently
inadequate) documentation on the submission procedure.
In case it's not obvious, I think the result ought to ship as part of
fedora-core in order to reduce the entry barriers for independent
packagers as much as possible.

Usability of new graphical boot process...
by Derek P. Moore
The new graphical boot process is purdy keen...
However, it could use one little change to increase
its overall usability.
As the progess bar moves from left to right, the name
of the service that is attempting to start is shown
for a few seconds then faded away. This is nice
eyecandy, but it's really inconvenient if a particular
service is taking forever or hanging indefinately.
If I'm not lucky enough to catch the name of the
service in the few seconds before it fades away, I'll
have no idea what's going wrong 'til I reboot and
devote 100% of my attention to watching the names of
the services before they fade away.
I brought this up in #fedora-devel, but thought I'd
post to the mailing list so this issue actually gets
some attention.
In #fedora-devel someone suggested that instead of the
names fading away after a few seconds, they could fade
from one into the next. That sounds like a much more
sensible option if we really want fading eyecandy.
Okay, I'm done now,
Derek

[loganlinux@hotmail.com: Error in UP2DATE]
by Florian La Roche
I can reproduce this. rpm-4.2.1-3 on a RHL9 box with kernel-2.4.21-3.EL
and glibc-2.3.2-27.9. Extracting a set of rpms seems to always give a
corrupt rpm database. The only note-worthy thing is a failed kernel postinstall
for those rpms. I'll check if I can find some more details.
greetings,
Florian La Roche

I speak for fedora.redhat.com web site, including documentations. For that,
translations are very importants !
PS : i don't see why you're speaking about tarballs

OpenGroupware.org?
by Wil Cooley
I thought OpenGroupware.org was slated to be in the next beta; did this
get pushed back? Do we have to wait for Fedora Contrib or whatever?

gnome-terminal is slow to death
by Behdad Esfahbod
Hi again,
Am I wrong, or gnome-terminal has _become_ too slow in 0.94?
BTW, is fedora.us going to port their RPMs for 0.94?
Moreover, when I added arjanv's 2.6 repository, from the sample
in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, and tried to install his kernel by
up2date, I got a silly error message:
file /lib/modules from install of kernel-2.6.0-0.test5.1.45
conflicts with file from package filesystem-2.2.1-4
Arjan? Can you fix that?
