Firefox backspace button action should be "Previous Page" not "Page Up"
by Mark
Hey,
i was just wondering why Firefox had page up action bound to the
backspace button. and i end up reading this bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358764
Now the default action for Firefox in fedora is "page up" and i think
nearly every keyboard in the world _has_ a page up key so please
remove that silly default action. A patch for this to give the
backspace the "previous page" (or whatever you want to call it) action
is very simple:
type (in the address bar): about:config
find: browser.backspace_action
The value is likely to be on: 1. Change that value to 0 and backspace
is acting the way it should do.
I don't know where firefox is getting the "logic" to make firefox
default backspace action "previous page" in windows and "page up" in
linux.. just doesn't make sense to me.
And could this be patched in the firefox that is in the fedora repo?
or (if fedora chooses not to patch it to the "previous page" action)
than make it no action at all!! "page up" is just not good.

Posted here because i would like to know the users and developer
opinions about this.
Thanx,
Mark.

make mockbuild is broken
by Ralf Corsepius
Hi,
"make mockbuild" in Fedora's CVS is broken (Fedora 7):
# make mockbuild
mock -r fedora-8-i386.cfg --resultdir=/home/build/src/fedora/pkgs/rpms/perl-Params-Util/F-8/perl-Params-Util-0_30-1_fc8 /home/build/src/fedora/pkgs/rpms/perl-Params-Util/F-8/perl-Params-Util-0.30-1.fc8.src.rpm
INFO: mock suid wrapper version 0.8.4
ERROR: Could not find required config file: /etc/mock/fedora-8-i386.cfg.cfg
make: *** [mockbuild] Error 1
Seems to me, as if Makefile.common's settings do not meet mock's
expectations. There is one .cfg too much.

= Agenda =
* Last preparations for Fedora 8 (main topic)
* KDE-Bits for the Release Summary
* Status of inclusion of kde-desktop-effects in f8-final
* Prepare for the next development cycle (basically KDE 4.0 and
kdebase-workspace)
= Summary =
o Last preparations for Fedora 8:
- New ksplash with InfinityTheme was imported into kde-settings
- Some multilib and upgrade path issues were fixed by RexDieter this morning
- Also strigi-libs has got some multilib fixes
o KDE-Bits for the Release Summary:
- Things that could/should be mentioned or enhanced:
- kde-desktop-effects
- knetworkmanager and nm-applet
- KDE 4 Development Platform
o Status of inclusion of kde-desktop-effects in f8final:
- compiz-manager was approved by rel-eng for inclusion.
- during the meeting there was the confirmation that kde-desktop-effects would
be included into compiz-kde
- So only compiz-kde needs to be approved by rel-eng to be included in f8final
- compiz-kde was also added as default to kde-desktop group in comps.xml
o Prepare for the next development cycle (F9, kde4, all that jazz):
- The next development cycle is almost covered by KDE 4.0 (ETA: Dec, 11 2007)
- There must be made a decision which bits of KDE3 should be kept (at least
kdebase3 and kdelibs3)
- kdegames4 and kdeedu4 are already done
- importing kdebase(4)-workspace and re-placing the
Conflicts/Provides/Obsoletes has to be done mostly together
- Due to the work that Upstream has done to minimize the conflicts, many of
the current hacks could be removed
- kdebase3 will need a lot of purging to keep only the stuff which doesn't
conflict
- KDE4 should be imported into Rawhide asap
o Open discussion:
- The now used kdepim-enterprise would be merged into KDE 3.5.9 by upstream
- There were some discussion (or guessing) if kmail would be shipped with
kdepim4 by upstream
- So we have to probably ship kdepim3

b43 in Fedora 7
by Ioannis Nousias
I've been trying to use the broadcom b43 driver in Fedora 7 with
2.6.22.9-91.fc7, but I have no luck.
I've extracted the 4.80.53.0 with b43-fwcutter in /lib/firmware
directory. Loaded the b43 driver and even registered the pci id of my
card using the following (as suggested in the bcm43xx mailing list)
B43_PCI_ID=`/sbin/lspci -n | awk '$2 ~ "^0280" && $3 ~ "^14e4:43" {
print $3 }' | sed -e 's/:/ /'`
echo "$B43_PCI_ID" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/b43-pci-bridge/new_id
(actually the suggestion was for the bcm43xx driver and the path was
'/sys/bus/pci/drivers/bcm43xx/new_id' )
the only thing I get in dmesg is this
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 7 (level, low)
-> IRQ 7
ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:02:03.0
NetworkManager doesn't report a wireless network, same with iwconfig and
of course 'ifconfig wlan0 up', reports "wlan0: unknown interface: No
such device".
I have these aliases in my modprobe
alias pci:v000014E4d0x00004324sv*sd*bc*sc*i* b43
alias wlan0 b43
which corresponds to my cards id.
Why does it have to be so complicated ?

Ioannis

F8 KVM guest on F8?
by Warren Togami
Does anybody have a F8 KVM guest on F8 host?
Could you please test if a nfs mount from guest to host works? Please
be sure that both sides are updated to latest rawhide.
Thanks,
