default services
by Alexander Kirillov
(Sorry if this had been discussed before - I am new to the list)
Why FC2 t3 activates so many services by default? I had to manually
deactivate the following:
- irqbalance - why the hell it was even installed on a uniprocessor
machine?
- rawdevices - how many people need this? And those who do, probably
know enough to enable them
- portmap/netfs/nfs/nfslock - well, I understand that they are
necessary in LAN environment, but could we add a question to installer
or firstboot so that home users do not get this bunch?
- rpcgssd/rpcsvcgssd - I do not fully understand what these are, but I
definitely do not need them. How many people do?

Screen saver / tuxracer crashes
by shmuel siegel
Are there any updates on why systems hang when tux racer is run. The
best that I can see from bugzilla is that some people think that it is a
kernel problem and not an X problem.
If it helps anybody it happens on my system too
running .327 with Selinux in permissive mode.

RE: Installation of FCT2: GRUB interactive on1stinstallandGRUBhangs on 2nd install
by Dan Thurman
Hi,
I finally figured it out. This case is SOLVED!
Thanks to all offering me help!
Here is my HDD layout at least in my mind:
/dev/hda 15GB IDE
/dev/hdb 50GB IDE
/dev/sda 9GB 10k rpm
/dev/sdb 9GB 10k rpm
The problem is, that the BIOS internall set this order:
/dev/sda 9GB 10k rpm <== C: or first boot disk
/dev/hda 15GB IDE
/dev/hdb 50GB IDE
/dev/sdb 9GB 10k rpm
So, I had to re-arrange the disk order in the BIOS
so that /dev/hda is the first disk or C:
GO FIGURE!!! Sheesh.
BTW: Fedora is AWESOME so far!!!

Hi,
If fdisk /MBR clears the boot sector does that mean it works? I will
reformat the drive and see if it boots DOS? Will that prove anything?
Additionally, I can also try to see if RH9 installs...

Personally, it sounds like the first few sectors of your drive are bad.

can't view webalizer usage stats
by Mike Chambers
I am trying to view my usage stats for webalizer but it doesnt' seem to
let me. I have usage located in /var/www/html/ dir and the
/etc/webalizer.conf points to that location (I moved it thinking it
might be the problem), but I get permission denied.
http://www.netlyncs.com/usage/
Can someone take a look and give me a hint on what the problem is?
Permissions?

RE: Installation of FCT2: GRUB interactive on 1st install andGRUBhangs on 2nd install
by Dan Thurman
Hi,
I did exactly what you said, to:
1) Win98 fdisk /MBR
2) grub-install /dev/hda
rebooting resulted:
Missing operating system
It appears that I am not performing Grub-install correctly
or that it is broke?
I went back to rescue, and interactive grub:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
Same result:
Missing operating system
What is going on? Is grub able to create the proper MBR???
Ok... I have scratched everything again, and installed for
the 4th time, from the beginning and tried the whole
installation again....
Guess what... a reboot after installation resulted:
Missing operating system
I tried the grub-install /dev/hda. Same problem.
I tried interactive grub:
root (hd0,2) <--- note: the partitioning changed to /dev/hda3
setup (hd0)
GRUB IS NOT INSTALLING THE MBR!!!!! GRUB IS BROKEN!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH GRUB!!!!
Best regards,
Dan

Just a wild thought: get yourself a bootable Dos floppy, boot it and do
fdisk /mbr to absolutely destroy any mbr stuff lurking around. Then
reinstall grub with grub-install.
Good luck,

Missing Navigation Bars in Evolution 1.4.6
by J. Scott Amort
Hi All,
I've just upgraded to FC2T2, and have noticed that there are no
navigation bars (i.e. up/down bars) in the shortcut window on
Evolution. I have all of my mailing lists as a bunch of shortcuts in
their own group, but now I can only access the first ten or so, as there
is no way to scroll further down the list! Is this a silly error on my
part, or should I send it on to bugzilla? Thanks.
Best,
Scott

Gerry,
Not sure if it'll help or not, but I managed to get my epson MFP working.

bug in FC2 test3 libmng package when compiling xine?
by Mark Fonnemann
Hello-
is this a bug in FC2 test3? when running the ./configure script for xine i get
the following error:
checking for mng_initialize in -lmng... yes
checking libmng.h usability... no
checking libmng.h presence... no
checking for libmng.h... no
*** All libmng dependent parts will be disabled ***
but:
[root@markf78 xine-lib-1-rc4]# rpm -q libmng libmng-devel libmng-static
libmng-1.0.4-5.1
libmng-devel-1.0.4-5.1
libmng-static-1.0.4-5.1
also, off topic to this list but relevant to the compilation of xine so i'll
throw this in here for good measure:
checking for Ogg... yes
checking for Theora... no
*** Could not run Theora test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means Theora was incorrectly
installed
*** or that you have moved Theora since it was installed.
*** All OGG/THEORA dependent parts will be disabled ***
any ideas where to find RPMS for Theora? i already checked redhat.com and
freshrpms.net but no such luck... any help on these issues would be greatly
appreciated.
mark. :-)
