LVM should not be used by default with FC3
by Nathan Grennan
I have been heard from multiple sources that LVM will be used by
anaconda when using automatic partitioning. I think this is a very bad
idea. It breaks the KISS(Keep it simple stupid) principle. I have
personally used LVM in the past and currently use software raid. Both
are powerful and wonderful features, but in most cases are overkill,
make things more complex, and make life hell when something like grub or
init scripts break.

Well all unencumbered stuff will probably be part of the default install from the
distros so no need install extra stuff for it. I think Thomas 'community' packages
refered to packages with stuff Red Hat or anyone other US company for various reasons
can't include in the default package.
As for non-lwz gif, didn't the lwz patent expire some months ago? Anyway we have a
MNG decoder in GStreamer already so no need for cruddy gifs :)

/var/run/directory/
by Russell Coker
I have been thinking about the /var/run directory under SE Linux.
Currently in the strict policy every daemon is permitted to create files
under /var/run. The problem is that a daemon which runs as root can (if
compromised) create /var/run files with the names used by other daemons if
the daemon is not running at the time. This interferes with stopping and
starting daemons.
The solution to this is to have a directory under /var/run for each daemon and
give write access to that directory only to the daemon that uses it. For
daemons that run as non-root this also makes things easier for non-SE systems
as there is no need to create a pidfile such as /var/run/sm-client.pid and
chown it, the directory can just have the permissions needed to allow file
creation by the daemon.
Can anyone think of a reason not to do this? Or should I just start filing
bugzilla entries against all packages that have /var/run/daemon.pid files?

Anaconda RFE: add a question to ask for "fedora extras", and if approperiate, livna
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Hello
As there has been really huge amounts of talk on this list the last few
days about fedora extras - i was wondering about something. Could it be
possible to ask somewhere in anaconda or firstboot, if you want the
extras repository pre-configured (maybe with a label stating
"UNSUPPORTED")? And maybe also if you are in some part of the world
(which you told the installer earlier) where livna is legal (such as
norway, asia etc.), then also ask the same about livna?
Just a question, thrown in for debate or burning. I know this has been
discussed before (with no real outcome), and i know that fc3t3 is
comming close. But it would really help the usability of fedora.
The question (at least if case is "only extras") could be asked as a
"package" under package selection. But then what to do about "personal
desktop" and "workstation" installs?

Doom3 for Devel ?
by Frank
Hallo,
i have upgraded my Fedora 2 via 'yum' to rawhide. I begun with it 3 Weeks before.
Since, i do this every Day. So the latest Updates are on my System installed.
The System works like a Champ AND can play nice Quake3 with my GeForce
FX 5700 with it with the latest Nvidia Drivers and Kernel 2.6
So i installed Doom3, the official Linux Port from id -> iam very scared
because please have a look at the Output:
----- R_InitOpenGL -----
dlopen(libGL.so.1)

a manual /sbin/start_udev doesnt resolve the Problem. And Google couldnt
help me out further or the Helps from
http://people.redhat.com/~harald/udev.html
i does it all:
# mkdir /tmp/dev
# mount --move /dev /tmp/dev
# /sbin/MAKEDEV null console zero
# mount --move /tmp/dev /dev
# cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices
# chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/nvidia*
besides, the last thing succeded for the Nvidia driver Problem. Before
i must the recompile after every Reboot. But my Alsa Drivers, doenst comes
up automatically until i do a /sbin/start_udev manually.
Back to doom3
I suspect, like RvB said, this is a X Error. But he dont know exactly
how about to solve it. He doenst have my Hardware, like he said
Anybody Expert here --- please ?
As a Attachement you can propose my xorg.conf. Hope this helps a lot.
Greetings
