Kernel building
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've not compiled a kernel for quite a while (the last was around 2.6.8
for a RH9 box).
Does the kernel-source supplied with FC come with the config file used
by RH or if it doesn't, is one available? The kernels work fine, I just
want to tweak it so DETECT_ALL_LUNS (I think it is) is enabled for USB
so I can get my 8 in 2 reader working (there is a bugzilla job in for
this problem)
TTFN

Tom, this is fixed in the next version (libselinux-1.19.4-1). I started
a bug on it and by the time I could get it reported,
it was fixed ;) Btw: The bug was at url:
"http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143836".

Fedora Project launches Pre-Extras
by Seth Vidal
The Fedora Project is officially launching Fedora Pre-Extras, to work
alongside Fedora Core 3 for i386 and x86_64 based platforms.
What is Pre-Extras?
It is our way of showing you that we've been working hard, as many
packages have been built, and are ready for distribution.
We are working very hard to make the build system work well, and the
infrastructure for this is almost ready, it just has a few kinks that we
are ironing out. As a measure of good faith, CVS for both Core and
Extras has already been opened.
While waiting for Extras to officially launch, use Pre-Extras today!
Where did all these packages come from?
These were packages from the now-merged Fedora.us repository as well as
freshrpms.net repository. So they maintain the same high quality
standards that was imposed previously.
So how do I get it?
Pre-Extras is currently hosted on the FedoraProject.org website, and is
available at:
http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/3/
It is available as a YUM repository, and an entry like the following
would suffice (in /etc/yum.conf):
[pre-extras]
name=Pre Extras
baseurl=http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/3/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
There is a temporary Pre Extras GPG key, which all packages are signed
with. The fingerprint:
pub 1024D/1AC70CE6 2004-12-14 Fedora Pre Extras Release <pre-extras(a)fedoraproject.org>
Key fingerprint = 5389 DD00 C5BC 5168 12B4 3272 82ED 9504 1AC7 0CE6
sub 1024g/4E1A9D43 2004-12-14
To import the key:
rpm --import http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Pre-Extras
What about bugs?
If you find bugs in the packages, report them at the Fedora Extras
Bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/
A cautionary note...
To paraphrase a Fedora Project contributor, Jef Spaleta, these packages
could eat babies; that is to say, they are built, signed, and ready for
use, but they have not gone through the rigorous QA testing that would
be expected normally from Extras. So if they break, submit a bug report,
but there are no implied warranties or guarantees that they will work.
Use these packages at your own risk!

SATA drives in a RAID 5 in Fedora
by Michael St. Laurent
Has anyone used Fedora Core 3 to setup a system with three SATA drives in a
RAID 5 configuration? I'm wondering if FC3 handles SATA better than EL3
does.

Problem with Firefox, Epiphany and up2date not connecting to internet.
i can go on line with Konqueror with no problem.
i can go to network control device and the
#1 dns is 192.168.0.1
#2 dns is 205.171.3.65
this works with Konqueror and it works real fast with these settings.
To get firefox, epiphany, konqueror and up2date to work.
I have to put in
# 1 dns 205.171.3.65
# 2 dns 205.171.2.65
and they work slow something with whatever is not letting the first set of
dns # work right.
i have turned off firewall and selinux to see if this was the problem with
the same results.
This happens with FC 3 TEST 3 AND FC3 final and the other Fedora releases.
I know that the dns # 192.168.0.1 and 205.171.3.65 are the right ones
because i have used other linux products and these # work with them . i do
not know where to start to correct this problem.
Does any one have any ideas on how to fix this . i would like to get this
fixed before Fedora core 4 comes out.
Thanks

Strange, that only konqueror works?
Please post the contents of your "/etc/resolv.conf" file. Also, post your "/etc/hosts" file.
I think your problem may be due to a misconfigured "/etc/hosts" file,
not sure.
I will include a snippet of my "/etc/hosts" below:
========================= /etc/hosts =========================
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
====================== /etc/hosts ============================

iptables problems
by Arangel Angov
I started having this problem with iptables a while ago. It seems that I
can't start/stop iptables manually through the terminal. Only way I can
control iptables is thru system-config-securitylevel. This used to work
fine with default FC3 installation and I don't remember when exactly it
started giving me a hard time. When I do "rpm -e
system-config-securitylevel system-config-securitylevel-tui" I can
start/stop iptables manually again, but when the packages are installed
I can't do nothing from the terminal. It also gives me an error in
System Settings > Server Settings > Services when I try to start or stop
the service. It says smth like "Service couldnt start, error:" and thats
it.
Another thing: I can't add firewall rules manually when I have only
iptables installed (without system-config-securitylevel).
For example I want to use NAT so I can get Internet to my laptop and
"iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE" is just not added
to the table of rules.
Anyone has any ideas, or should I visit bugzilla for this one?
Thanks,
Arangel

FC4 - Installation memory test ?
by richard mullens
I just built a new machine and booted up with FC3 and SuSE Professional
9.1 installation DVDs.
I tried the memory test that is available on the SuSE installation and
pretty quickly it found a bit that read back as zero when 1 was written.
As I had two DIMMs installed, I swapped them around and the bad bit
moved to the other address bank - as expected.
I think that such a test function would be useful in FC4 - unless (and
here I'm showing my ignorance) the boot sequence tests memory and marks
bad memory as unavailable.
Can one can tell the system about bad memory ?

Rawhide SE Linux targeted policy warning !!!
by Steve G
Hi,
I just updated from rawhide. I am using selinux-policy-targeted-1.19.15-7. It
breaks about everything. My suggestion is to skip it (unless you want a little
excitement in your life).
You cannot even get in via ssh to correct the problem because of ssh not being
able to execute bash. Relabeling does not fix it. If its too late, your only hope
is setting selinux=0 at boot menu and waiting for a corrected selinux targeted
policy unless you have the old one.

mailman question[MAILER-DAEMON: Returned mail: see transcript for details]
by David Meyer
I'm sure folks have seen this (many times) already, so
thanks for the help up front.
So I'm trying to get mailman to run on FC3, and I am
running into the following problem:
>> ----- Transcript of session follows -----
>> Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be
>> executed as one of the following groups:
>> [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody],
>> but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group: "mailnull".
>> Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as one of these groups:
>> [mail, postfix, mailman, nobody],
>> or re-run configure providing the command line option:
>> '--with-mail-gid=mailnull'.
>> 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 2
Since I installed mailman from the RPM, I didn't
configure it. Further, sendmail.8.13.1 has a config
option that looks like
# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid)
# O DefaultUser=mailnull
If you set DefaultUser to something else, everything else
goes south...
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks, and have a safe and happy new year,
Dave
