Features for FC4
by Mark Haney 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

I know it's probably a bit early, but does anyone have a comprehensive set of features/ideas for FC4? So far FC3 is by far the best distro out there, but surely there's been some thought to what's next. Plus, I'd love to help out with it in any way I can, but time prohibits real development, is there any need for documentation? -------------------------------------- Mark Haney Network Administrator InterAct Public Safety Systems mhaney(a)interactsys.com Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) Kernel: 2.6.9-1.667 GNU/Linux 13:45:07 up 5:48, 1 user, load average: 1.79, 1.93, 2.01

No sound on FC2 to FC3T3 update... artsd going nuts
by Kim Lux 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Sound doesn't work on my laptop with FC3T3. It did with FC2. Here is the vital info: On login I get this message: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (Device or resource busy) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. Sometimes after login I get this message: Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting In hwbrowser I find: Sound cards: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller Manufacturer: Unknown Driver: snd-intel8x0 If I run system-config-sound: The following audio device was detected: <blurb here, same as hwbrowser> When I press "Play Test Sound" the application hangs. If I run tops, I find that artsd hogs the cpu cycles like crazy. In dmesg everything looks normal as far as errors go. There doesn't appear to be a driver loaded for sound. Here is the only stuff I see that might be related to sound: ICH5: chipset revision 2 ICH5: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later codec_read 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2c codec_read 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2c codec_read 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2c codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2 codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2 codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x18 codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x18 All other logs are clean. In /etc, I have a asound.state and an alsa dir. asound.state looks normal and only contains stuff about mixer. asound.conf is not present. in /etc/alsa, I have alsa.conf.

Any advice ? How do I troubleshoot this ? -- Kim Lux (Mr.) <lux(a)diesel-research.com>

swig and subversion
by Paul F. Johnson 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Hi, Can someone please rebuild subversion? A standard update has to exclude swig as subversion relies on older libraries.

More FC3 (and rawhide) issues.
by Noah Silva [Mailing list] 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Forgot some ... a. I have had performance problems and found some applications using an ENORMOUS amount of memory. Evolution was taking nearly 400mb at one point, and epiphany wasn't much better. I know hot to use top and gnome-system-monitor and restart things, but some people would just wonder why their system gets so unbelievably slow... Restarting them helps fix the problem, at least for a while. I may have a lot of mail, but jeez... I can't be the only one who's noticed this. b. In evolution, in the calendar, the scrolling seems not to work right. It won't scroll until I go 4 or 5 blocks (in the month view) and then it will suddenly jump. Should this be files with Novell or Redhat? This seems to happen not on my rawhide machine. (Also sometimes entries don't update properly until restarting evo.) thanks, Noah SILVA

Re: KVM mouse even worse
by Reg Clemens 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Since I have never seen ANY of the problems mentioned, I have to assume the problem is with the KVM switch itself. I had an old 'rotary switch' KVM, and indeed you had to have it switched to the booting machine. I replaced it with a ConnectGear (electronic) KVM and all the problems went away... I have to assume the electronic KVM makes it 'look' to the OS as if there is a keyboard/mouse there on all 4 ports, independent of which one you are switched to. -- Reg.Clemens reg(a)dwf.com

fedora core 3 base livecd with kde3.3.1, gnome2.8 etc. ...
by Dirk Westfal 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Hello, don`t know if someone here is interested, so i keep this short : finished a livecd based on core 3 with kde & gnome, firefox& thunderbird, different laguage profiles (english,german,french,italian), security tools (ethereal,nmap, nessus etc.). Uses gdm as login manager, kde is default desktop. Auto save/restore of user sessions from usb storage in kde - need some help to make this work in gnome ... Also contains fedora network install kernel/initrd.image from boot.iso. Takes ~1-3 minutes to load. Screenshots can be found here : http://www.linux4all.de/livecd/basilisk/1.40/walkthrough/wsimages.htm Readme/Requirements/Download : http://www.linux4all.de/livecd/basilisk/1.40/ Best Regards, Dirk Westfal

RE: /usr has vanished
by gslink 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

There is a bug related to this in FC3. If you are root and change group membership from root to something else and then give rw and execute permission to everyone and the directory is a partition then the directory will usually appear empty. If you write anything into that directory before rebooting then the directory is messed up. If you reboot first no harm is done. Is this what happened?

KVM mouse even worse
by Sean Bruno 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

It seems like the issues with mice and KVM switch boxes has gotten worse under FC3. Under FC2 the mouse would get confused when switching between different machines and I would have to "ctrl-alt-f1" and then "ctrl-alt-f7" to reset the mouse back to a useable state. Now under FC3, this "workaround" no longer compensates for the issue. To get the mouse back, I have to disconnect the mouse(physically) and reconnect it. Does this sound like something that has already been reported? --
