Problems with buring FC4 test ISOs
by William Beebe
I've been having problems burning ISOs for FC4 test 2 and test 3. If I
download ISOs to Windows XP and then used Nero 6 to burn the CDs/DVDs, they
failed the integrity check when booted up. If, on the other hand, I boot
into Linux (SuSE 9.1 in this instance) and run K3b as root (kdesu k3b) I can
burn the exact same ISO images to blank media using the exact same hardware
and the new CD/DVD will successfully pass its integrity check. As stated I
downloaded the DVD ISO on WinXP using Firefox. When the first burn failed I
rebooted into SuSE 9.1, mounted the Windows file system to get to the ISO
and burned a second successful copy.
I'm currently installing FC4 test 3 using the good DVD. So far so good. DVD
installation is so superior to the CD installation shuffle. It's worth the
time to download or buy the DVD.
Well, it just finished successfully installing. That's the fastest I've ever
dropped a Linux on any box, regardless of distribution, and it's as fast if
not faster than Windows. FC4t3 seems a lot snappier when booting and logging
in as well. Gnome seems cleaner, but I'm still going to switch over to KDE
once I've got other items reconfigured. Overall this is a very good
beginning for Fedcora Core 4.

Freezes with 2.6.11-1.14_FC3smp
by Jules Colding
Hi,
I have had two total freezes (couldn't even ping it) with this kernel
today. Nothing in the logs, it just stopped dead. The only common about
the two freezes was that I was browsing with Firefox when it happened.
System is up to date. I have now booted 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp and the
problem seems to have vanished.
I'll send further information if anyone wants it.
Best regards,

Converting your FC4test2 isos to FC4test3 isos
by Dax Kelson
I noticed that test3 has been released, and I used this trick to convert
my FC4test2 isos into FC4test3. This way I'm not downloading the bits
that haven't changed.
cd /path/to/your/FC4test2/isos
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc1.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc1.iso
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc2.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc2.iso
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc3.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc3.iso
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc4.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc4.iso
rsync -v --stats --progress rsync://<rsync fedora mirror>/fedora/linux/core/test/3.92/i386/iso/FC4-test3-i386-disc[1234].iso .
Watching the data transfer speed, I notice that pretty often it jumps up
much higher than the cap of my internet connection. This tells me that
that my trick was worthwhile.
Be sure to grab the SHA1SUM file and check your ISOs once the rsync
completes.

nfs-utils-1.0.6-52, released 2005-02-19, #149901
Up to now I have no script to monitor the missing announcement. I'm
still hoping that this problem is addressed in a way so that it cannot
happen again. I just take a look at my rsync mirror logs and compare
them to the announcements that appeared on the mailing list. If no
announcement comes out within two days after the rpms appear on the
download mirror I open up a bug in bugzilla. So far most rpm packagers
were helpful and sent out the announcement when they see the
bugreport. But sometimes even this fails :-(
Why is it not possible to automatically sent out the announcement
after the rpms are signed and the MD5 sums are known?
Is it possible to trigger an email to the packager after the package
is signed? Something like a reminder "package is ready for
distribution, please sent out an announcement".
TIA,
Bernd.

esd won't allow gnome logout
by Marius Andreiana
Sometimes logging out of GNOME doesn't work (ctrl+alt+del has no
effect). Regular users will hard reboot (and hopefully select linux
again when grub asks what OS to boot).
I've ran ps ax and started killing processes to find out which won't
die, as
gnome-session-save --kill
was running.
esd was running with parameters
/usr/bin/esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 13
and it will die only on killall -9. I don't know what starts it, I
haven't enabled it in sound preferences.
As a temporary solution I renamed /usr/bin/esd so it won't run again.
Ever :D
