Persistent device naming
by Neal Becker
What package should I use for persistent device naming?
I had been using devlabel for usb things, so I can have e.g. /dev/camera.
It works, but every time I boot with the camera not hooked up I get
messages. I see we have udev and according to doc udev should also be able
to serve this function? Which is the preferred approach?

USB Mouse and Net
by Coleman Nitroy
Just did an upgrade to core 2 test 1, and my USB mouse does work. Kudzu
said it detected a PS/2 Mouse on first boot... I was thinking odd. I
tried to modprobe hid.. and I get "Fatal: Mouse Module not found" and
"Fatal: Keyboard Module not found" or something to that degree. Will
try building my own kernel.
Also for my net, it does something really weird.. I can resolve host
names.. i.e. ping google.com works... BUT links google.com does not...
I am thinking some sort of proxy got setup maybe? I can't do any http,
or ftp to anything outside of my local net. Ideas?

Cannot Logout of X Successfully
by Dave Waller
I am not able to logout properly yet and it almost always results in
going to another computer and ssh'ing in to reboot the system.
I have a dual head system and I have it configured so that the displays
are connected. when I logout X seems to restart but then the mouse can
not travel to the other display and it stays black, no login screen.
And I can not switch to text console and the num lock or caps lock is
not setable either.
I don't know if it is related but the System Settings -> Display app
does not let me save either and in .xsession-errors file is complains
about line 177:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 177, in ok
display_option.modes[0].name = res
IndexError: index out-of-bounds

Login slowness & NFS problems
by Mike Chambers
With the lastest couple of kernels in rawhide, it seems when logging
into them via ssh, at least, they are very slow. I added selinux=0 to
the .110 kernels and that seems to help.
I also noticed that using .116 kernels that NFS doesn't seem to work,
which I believe someone already mentioned in a previous email.
