Lilo not updated with FC2
by TGS
FYI: I just updated a Redhat 9.x machine to Fedora Core 2, and the updater
did not update the LILO configuration to contain the new kernels. The
machine would not boot, since the old kernel did not contain the ext3
module. It was not biggie for me, since I just booted into rescue mode via
the install CDROM, and did a grub-install. Next reboot everything worked
fine. I 99.44% certain that I selected the option to update the boot loader,
knowing that it was LILO, and since I have moved to using grub. Prepping the
machine to be grub beforehand, would have made the install go perfect.
Cheers to a good release for all you people that contributed!

kernel 2.6.6
by Mike Lurk
So far with this kernel (2.6.6-1.391) I haven't been able to do anything
in openGL. As a matter of fact any of the 2.6.6 kernels haven't worked
with openGL. The mobo is an Intel with a p3 600 and an integrated I810
video and the intel sound integrated as well. Any help would be
appreciated.

Fedora 2: Error activating XKB configuration
by Manlio Frizzi
Hi all
I've got this dialog box after X has started:
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60700000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
so i include the two results:
xprop -root | grep XKB output is:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "it", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "it", "", ""
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb output is
layouts = [it]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = false
options = []
Bye
thanX

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 2

Summary : The Red Hat Linux hardware probing tool.
Description :
Kudzu is a hardware probing tool run at system boot time to determine
what hardware has been added or removed from the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update fixes a problem when handling modules that contain a '-' in the
name (such as ne2k-pci); in the presence of these, some modules would not get
loaded or unloaded correctly.
Included are also some minor fixes for architectures other than
x86 or x86-64.
If no new regressions are found, this package will be pushed as a final update
by Friday, May 28.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Mon May 24 2004 Bill Nottingham <notting(a)redhat.com> - 1.1.68-1
- fix checking of modules loaded which have a - in their name as
/proc/modules will contain an _ instead, this time for the !loader
case (#122983, at least)
* Fri May 21 2004 Jeremy Katz <katzj(a)redhat.com> - 1.1.67-1
- look for module.usbmap under /modules also for anaconda usage

name change

- minor fix for viodasd probing

Re: libswigpy
by t l
The newest version of the swig package (swig-1.3.21-2) seems to have changed
what it 'provides'. It now says it provides:
rpm -q --whatprovides libswigpy.so
no package provides libswigpy.os
rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libswigpy.so
swig-1.3.21-2
With the older version of swig (swig-1.3.19-6.1) it said:
rpm -q --whatprovides libswigpy.so
swig-1.3.19-6.1
To work around, try this:
yum --exclude=subversion\* --exclude=mod_dav_svn update
That will allow you to update all the packages except subversion.

Hi,
Just attempted to do a yum update from the rawhide servers and it's come
back with libswigpy being missing.
What is supposed to provide it or is it more a case of it not having
been placed on rawhide yet?

No 2.6.6-1.383.
Perhaps it's because kernel-source change its arch from "i386" to
"noarch".
Please note that the default yum.conf use "exactarch=1".
I don't think it's a good idea to change kernel-source arch during FC2 .
I think we should push this change for FC3.

Fedora Core 2 Test Update: gimp-2.0.1-5
by Nils Philippsen
This update is supposed to fix #124307 "missing help files" by spitting
out a slightly more informative error message if gimp-help isn't
installed.
If no problems occur, this will go final on Friday, June 4th.
If you want the particular error message to be translated into your
favourite language(s), do the following:
- install the source rpm -- 'rpm -i .../gimp-2.0.1-5-src-rpm'
- unpack the sources, apply the patches -- 'rpmbuild -bp ...'
- go to the gimp-2.0.1 directory
- './configure'
- 'make -C po-plug-ins update-po'
- in po-plug-ins/<language>.po, put in the translation for the msgid
"Please install the gimp-help package to access GIMP help."
Submit translations as unified diffs to the po files without translation
to me by Friday, June 4th if you wish them to be included in the final
update.

Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-145
2004-05-28
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 2
Name : gimp
Version : 2.0.1
Release : 5
Summary : The GNU Image Manipulation Program BETA
Description :
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image
composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for
creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of
the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial
offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a
large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and
layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions,
all with multi-level undo.
The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included
scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site
has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which
includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of
the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are
documented in the package. Get
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz and
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are so
inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system
before running the scripts.
