Re: Fedora Core 2Test1 - PCMCIA Wireless problems
by Pratik Mehta
Hi,
I have Cisco 350, so that is fine. When i installed the FC2 test 1, i think i had kernel 2.6.1 ....I can use the ethernet to connect to redhat network and update it. Will this give me a new kernel 2.6.3 or do i have to build one.

Also if it's the Cisco MPI350, and not a PCMCIA 350, he'll need at least
kernel 2.6.3, and I expect he might run into this bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117022
if he's using WEP.
FWIW, I've had the PCMCIA 350 working in both FC2 test 1 on a Tecra
8100 and IBM ThinkPad t41. The MPI350 is still a special case, it
seems. You'll need the card to be at no more than the 5.00.03 firmware
for it to work in Linux - the newer firmware isn't supported just
yet.

Experienced the lack of tap to click on a compaq laptop after upgrading
to a stock 2.6 kernel
pretty sure the version of the touchpad driver included with the kernel
has tap to click disabled in the build.

I tried it before but now with '--oldpackage' it works for me :-)

VMWARE ethernet + sound
by Clete Blackwell 2
Hi,
I'm testing out Fedora Core 2 Test 1 with VMWARE 4. I cannot seem to get networking or sound working in the enviorment. Could someone point me to anything or the right card set to use in the internet connection settings thing? Also, I use DHCP.
My REAL card (I doubt it matters) is a SOHOware 10/100 card and a turtle beach: santa cruz. I have tried VMWARE's different kinds of networking, none of them working.
Sorry if I already sent this, I never got a confirmation mail and I didn't get it as well, so I'm resending. (Hey mods, I sent it under the wrong address, so it was held. If you read this, deny the last 2 :)).

Fedora Core 1 Test Update: less-382-1.1
by Karsten Hopp
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-089
2004-03-02
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : less
Version : 382
Release : 1.1
Summary : A text file browser similar to more, but better.
Description :
The less utility is a text file browser that resembles more, but has
more capabilities. Less allows you to move backwards in the file as
well as forwards. Since less doesn't have to read the entire input file
before it starts, less starts up more quickly than text editors (for
example, vi).
You should install less because it is a basic utility for viewing text
files, and you'll use it frequently.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This package contains an updated version of less, which is supposed
to fix segfaults on certain types of files (bugzilla #117118).
Support for non-UTF8 japanese charsets has been removed, therefore
it isn't possible anymore to view non-UTF8 japanese texts with less
by setting the JLESSCHARSET variable.
See bugzilla #115079 and #116902 to read about the reasons for the
removal of the iso254 patch.

Nautilus problems
by Marcus Schuetz
I am running nautilus 2.5.8-1 and I have a couple of problems. Before I
run off to bugzilla I wanted to check if anybody else is seeing this or
has a solution.
1. Trash is gone. Even though it's checked in gconf to be visible I have
no icon for it on the desktop
2. Context menu for Home is missing the Browse folder option right after
startup. It's there for My Computer and after I open my home folder in
spatial mode it appears.
3. Some of my nautilus scripts are misbehaving e.g. Open with gedit from
http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ no longer works:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Nautilus script -> open gedit
filesall=""
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
files=`echo "$1" | sed 's/ /\?/g'`
filesall="$files $filesall"
shift
done
gedit $filesall&
now tries to open the selected file in ~ instead of the current directory.

invalid context...

Re: kernel 2.6 and sata
by Rio Baan
I've got a Silicon image SATA RAID built-in on my ASUS P4G8X-Deluxe board,
and it just causes my install of Fedora Core 2 test1 to bomb out.
It gets as far as the gray init screen, and the dots stop swirling during
"Setting hostname". After that everything locks up.
Unplug the RAID, and presto! It boots OK (but with a few other errors)
Also, I'm a bit miffed that the installer for Fedora only party recognised
my RAID. My RAID is formatted in NTFS, so that's an excuse. However, when it
comes time for patitioning during install, a screen popped up saying
something akin to "Couldn't recognise hde and hdg, would you like to format
the drives and LOSE ALL DATA". which was a bit frightening. It knew there
were two drives there, but didn't think to figure out what was on them and
why.
Autopartition didn't even recognise the RAID's existance when confirming my
formatting options.
The box to hide/display LVM and RAID during that process seemed a bit
useless.
The whole SATA RAID thing is just my major sticking point with test1 at the
moment.
