Re: /usr has vanished
by gslink 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

There is no Bugzilla entry for what I reported. I do not normally report most problems to Bugzilla until the release gets more stable. Usually by the time that the entry is acted on the test release is obsolete and the entry just becomes clutter. If this problem remains in the system then I will report it. About 80% of our problem list vanished from FC2 to FC3 and what will happen with FC3 I do not know. I suspect the bugs will be replaced. Many of these problems are like reporting checksum errors on iso files. It doesn't help the file with the error because it is obsolete. It just helps insure that the next release doesn't have an error.

howto upgrade fc3 to x86_64?
by sean darcy 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

I'm running fc3. Just got a new athlon64 macine. Just moved over my hard drives. Works fine. Now I want to convert/upgrade the fc3 from i386 to x86_64. I'd really prefer not to do a clean install - I'll never remember how this machine is set up. thanks sean

how to have hal be selective
by Brian Millett 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Hello, I just purchased a DVD+-RW drive that I put into a usb 2.0 enclosure. The manufacture is: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: MAD DOG Model: MD-16XDVD9 Rev: 2.F6 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 It looks like to burn anything (dvd/cd) with this external device, I have to stop haldaemon. If I do not, then I have coasters. My question is, is there any way to have hal ignore this device when a blank cd/dvd is inserted? I, ofcourse, would want hal to mount any valid disk that is inserted. Thanks. Oh yeah, I am running rawhide yumed on top of FC3. -- Brian Millett Enterprise Consulting Group "Shifts in paradigms (314) 205-9030 often cause nose bleeds." bpmATec-groupDOTcom Greg Glenn

Memory consumption
by Alexandre Strube 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Did anything happened after kernel 2.6.7? I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.8 (yeah fc2, but I've seen some people complaining about it on newer kernels, that's why I'm asking here). The memory is being used more than ever, for the same applications. Something like 300 megs for evolution (The machine has 384mb of ram, so you could figure what happens with swap). I don't know what happened, but after some upgrades the machine IS consuming more memory than ever. This happens with every app I use, evolution was an example. -- []s Alexandre Ganso 500 FOUR vermelha - Diretor Steel Goose Moto Group

X server problems?
by Vadim 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Not sure whether this belongs in this forum, or if any of you have noticed this or not, but: I'm running FC3 on my laptop. We run Oracle on RH AS 2.1 and RH ES 3.0. We also use ocfs for storage. When I try to run an ocfstool on the server, which is a graphic ocfs configuration tool, I get the window, but clicking on any meny items crashes the windows and causes the following errors on client: sh-2.05# rpm -qa|grep ocfs ocfs-support-1.0.10-1 ocfs-tools-1.0.10-1 ocfs-2.4.9-e-enterprise-1.0.11-1 sh-2.05# ocfstool Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) serial 947 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0 Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) serial 948 error_code 10 request_code 102 minor_code 0 Running same tool on my FC2 worked fine. Running it on my RH8 desktop also works fine. Similarly, I can launch xterm to my FC3 form the same host and that will work fine as well. Tried xedit - works fine. Looked through the web - nothing. Any ideas? -V

gamin-0.0.18-1.FC3 test update
by Daniel Veillard 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

This is yet another attempt at fixing the problem where the gam_server goes into an infinite loop (or other nastyness) which are very likely to be related to GList free pool corruptions. People experiencing problems with gam_server should try to update and report if they can reproduce the problems and report so in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132354 If no negative report is shown this will be pushed as a final update in a week, thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Desktop team http://redhat.com/ veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/

livecd using fedora core 3 with kde3.3.1, gnome 2.8 etc
by Dirk Westfal 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Hello, don`t know if someone is interested, so i keep this short: I`ve finished a livecd using fedora core 3 with kde and gnome for the desktops, firefox/thunderbird, openoffice and other applications. Login manager is gdm, default desktop kde, gnome can also be selected. Auto save/restore of user sessions from usb storage (sda1) in kde - need some help to get that working in gnome. Also included is the fedora core 3 network install kernel/initrd from boot.iso (unchanged). Startuptime is ~1-3 Minutes on a 1,5 Ghz Amd/256Mb Ram with 52x ide cdrom drive.
