Fedora Bug Day Tomorrow: Jan 28th 2004: Bugzilla versus Mothra
by Jef Spaleta
What:
Fedora Bug Day: General Fedora Triage
Why:
Bugs bad...Closing bugs good
Who:
Everybody and anybody who wants to help developers make better use of
their time. Programming experience, isn't necessary to make a worthwhile
contribution to the triaging effort. But programmers are welcome to. Who
knows you might even stumble on a bug you can fix by submitting your own
patch! For the rest of us, just digging into bugzilla and finding
bugreports to mark as duplicates can help save developers some time.
How:
Simply pick an existing Fedora Core bug to triage, jump on the
#fedora-bugs during the stated times on Weds Jan 28th and convince
me that the bug should be closed or marked up as a high priority for
review.
When:
Jan 28th 9am EST (or right after i get my first cup of coffee) to let's
say 6pm-ish EST (right before my wife tells me I need to drive her home
from work). Allow of course for some gaps in between when my boss and
found my hiding place and needs me to do something.
No Clue What I'm talking about when I say the phrase Fedora Triage?
Take a quick look at the fedora-triage-list archives:
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/fedora-triage-list/
These messages should hopefully tell you what its all about in more
detail:

rebuild gcc rpm on x86_64
by Gene C.
Can someone explain the logic to me why you need the i386 version of
glibc-devel installed on a x86_64 system in order to rebuild gcc for the
x86_64? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113893
Besides the man and info files which are duplicates of the ones in the x86_64
glibc-devel package, the i386 package only contains files in /usr/lib.
Yes, I am going to go and try to install it but I am sure bothered as to why.
An additional issue is that the i386 glibc-devel is not part of the FC1 x86_64
test1 distribution (only glibc for the i686). Shouldn't I be able to rebuild
any package in a distribution given only the packages contained in the
distribution?
Do I need the i386 version of glibc-devel to rebuild on the sparc? How about
the IA64 Itanium?

up2date on x86_64
by Gene C.
Has anyone successfully run up2date on x86_64 test1?
I have set up local trees for x86_64 updates. I have done the same thing for
my i686 and athon systems and usually download all updates packages once and
then use up2date to apply them to my collection of i686 and Athlon systems
(some of which are everything installs).
I setup a similar situation for x86_64 but up2date seems to hang after it gets
the headers. I ran up2date as root from a console and got no tracebacks so
there is not much to bugzilla.

I see these laptops come with 512MB ram. Can you add more memory?

It will hold up to 2GB PC2700. Beware the 802.11g is by Broadcom so the
wireless will probably not work.

under Fedora Core 1 (preferably version 2.99.56)?

fedora x86_64 troubles
by Aleksander Demko
Has anyone tried the 0.96 discs on an IBM eserver 325? When I boot
the install cdrom in mine, I get 1 or 2 (what look like) register
dumps, yet the install continues. However, when it gets to screen
about cdrom testing, my keyboard input seems to have no effect.
I could try to get detailed information, if anyone is interested.
This machine is a dual opteron with 6 gigs of ram, a scsi disk and
a usb keyboard and mouse. I've had the mandrake alpha and some
other fedora tests running, with varying levels of success.
Stock 32 bit fedora 1 runs fine, ofcourse.

Re: emachines laptop
by Mike Larkin
The 2nd dimm slot is internal, inside the system (but I did confirm with
the eMachines rep that there really is a dimm in there, it's not some
RAM soldered on the system board). It's not a field/user-replacable
module. :(
Hence, unless you want to void the warranty, you've got to send it to
eMachines and get an RMA for them to install the memory for you.
That's not good news, but at least they offered to do it for me under
warranty.
As for the drive, it's a 60GB Toshiba 6021GAS, 4200RPM and 2MB cache
(low end unit).
I can't try the memory suggestion without replacing both modules, so
even if I were to do that, it would be a while before I could comment
on the effect.... I can however say that the clock speed is not 2GHz but
rather 1.8GHz.. 3 different OSes all report 1.8GHz.
On another subject - is AMD64 ACPI any better under 2.6.1? Because
without ACPI for power management, you only get about 1 hr battery life
under FC1, while with Win32 ACPI battery management, it's closer to 3 hours.
