Re: Why xcdroast and not gcombust?

Hmm..I think you just offended me. I like gcombust of xcdroast...are you
calling me a less technically inclinded user? Wait, no don't answer
that...my fragile ego probably couldn't stand the truth.
But seriously...if we are going to open this can of worms up and ask the
question what are the 2 best cd-burning apps rhl should be shipping as
core distro pieces...i don't know if I'd put gcombust in that elite
group. I like it..it works for me...but i think I've seen more
'technically less inclined users' like seth, drool over k3b. I've even
heard k3b compared favorable to windows cdburning apps like nero.

pam src rpm replaced?
by Leonard den Ottolander
Hi,
Just curious why pam-0.77-3.src.rpm on the FTP site was replaced with
another version with a slightly different size but the same contents as the
previous version with the same version number.
While I am at it, I reported a simple missing BuildRequires for pam three
weeks ago, but I haven't seen any reaction on bugzilla yet
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101563). Why does it
have to take so long just to fix such a simple bug for which a fix is
provided? Not that I expect new pam rpms to be released for a single
BuildRequires, but a simple "this will be fixed in the next release" would
be nice.
Bye,
Leonard.

Any current workaround for Radeon/Chromium Segfault? (Bug 101647)
by Steve Bergman
I seem to be experiencing bug 101647 with my radeon 9100 and fully
updated rawhide system.
glxgears works fine and is properly hardware accelerated. However,
anything more complex (chromium, tuxracer, rune, quakeforge, RTCW)
crashes as described in the bug with similar messages.
Works fine with RH9.
I just bought the card today because I wanted to do away with NVidia
driver which was the sole proprietary item on my machine.
Any suggestions on a workaround or do I just need to be patient?
Thanks,
Steve

Authentication Error After Updating up2date
by Robert L Cochran
I did an rpm -Fvh of up2date-3.9.20-2 and up2date-gnome-3.9.20-2 in my
Severn installation and then tried to run up2date -u.
I now get this error message:
There was an authentication error: Unable to authenticate.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks

printconf should restart printer
by sean darcy
My printer is set up on an linux server running cups/samba. It's used by
both linux and windows workstations. Every once in a while I get this error
on the linux workstation:
Call timed out: server did not respond after 10000 milliseconds closing
remote file
Then both printconf ( redhat-config-printer ) and the GNOME Print Manager
show the printer is down - cute little red X . Neither give any way to
restart the printer.
I can go to the cups web interface :631 and restart the printer, which
works. Then printconf and GPM are happy.
Shouldn't printconf have a restart feature? Isn't it just a link to lpadmin?

Re: no ... *really* ... any ETA for updated beta?
by Jef Spaleta
Robert P. J. Day:

>but please -- let's not waffle back and forth.
Its more like "when its ready, but here is our best guess at when that
will be...feel free to hold yer breath while you wait"
And as rhl's development structure moves towards rhlp, you sure as hell
better expect some waffling on policy decisions....changing from an
in-house development process to a more open community process is not
going to be a linear progression...policy changes red hat initiates,
will garner feedback, to impact that initial policy change red hat
decided to make. I'd rather have feedback and waffling now and even long
stretches of time when red hat's policies have seem to regressed back to
a fully closed development state...then have to deal with unpopular
policy decisions down the road when rhlp is in full swing.
Estimates are not promises.....estimates are best guesses....frankly
I'm shocked Red Hat made such a bold estimate and wrote it
down...because by doing so it open themselves up to exactly this sort of
attack. Get a grip..its a beta...even the release schedule is buggy..you
shouldn't expect otherwise.
If Red Hat continues to publish "estimates" on release schedules...they
should come with a confidence rating or Vegas odds, so that spectators
don't make the mistake of thinking they are "promises".
And maybe...just maybe...those estimates were based on estimated release
schedules for components...and if a components release schedule slips a
bit...maybe the beta release schedule slips a bit too? Maybe there are
specific engineering goals in mind for each beta iso set? Maybe its not
just a matter of throwing the current rawhide snapshot together as an
iso. Maybe there is different development focus during each stage of
the beta? Maybe you don't have a clear enough picture of what the
internal drivers/priorities are to make a comment about the importance
of keeping the estimate beta release schedule in tact? Maybe it really
is in your best interest to wait till its ready? The interior timepoints
during a beta cycle should be considered far more fluid than the
beginning and end timepoints.

openafs on taroon
by Jack Neely
Folks,
I'm trying to get OpenAFS 1.2.10 working on taroon. Anyone seen the
following?
My kernel is 2.4.21-1.1931.2.399.ent. It looks to be an error with mm.h
which looks fine to me.
Thoughts?

up2date and mozilla issues with severn.
by Steven Haigh
Hi all, I've had Severn installed on my desktop SMP machine for a week
or two now, and I have to give a congratulations to all involved...
RedHat has come along way since I last used a RH release for my main
desktop usage... I think the last one I had on my desktop was 6.0... And
as always, my thanks to Alan Cox for his great work with his -ac series
of patches for pretty much every kernel version in existance... Great
work...
I've used RH on all of my servers, including my home firewall etc with
excellent results - but usually never install X etc, so even though I'm
a long time user, I'm not so cluey with X....
It's the first time I've used a Beta version of RH on any system, and
have noticed that I haven't been asked to install any updates since the
initial install... Is there something I should have done to get up2date
working in severn using beta packages? I get the SSL certificate error,
but from what I've read on the list archives, this is a known issue, and
I guess it'll be resolved shortly...
The second issue I've found has been with Mozilla... It's the one
supplied with severn (1.4).. I use it to access my IMAP mail accounts
over both SSL and normal. I've noticed that when I hit Ctrl+Shift+C on
an IMAP folder to 'mark all as read', it never actually does anything...
I've updated to Mozilla 1.5b from mozilla.org, but would prefer to stay
with the official RPM's for ease of upgrade later on... Has anyone else
come across this?
