desktop switching tool still buggy
by Rory Gleeson
Can anyone reproduce this?
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122260
* This report is based on the *updates* to switchdesk of May 2/04.
Description of problem:
Switchdesk tool *worked* after updates, but only the first time. I
switched to KDE and it defaulted to KDE.
However, when I tried to switch the default back to Gnome via KDE, it
kept going back in to KDE on each log in.
Logging out and manually choosing Gnome brought me back in to Gnome.
I used the desktop switching tool from Gnome and defaulted to Gnome.
But, it still goes to KDE, whether or not I choose the "current
display" option or not.
So, the desktop switching tool is still buggy.

RE: Installation of FC T2: GRUB interactive on 1st install andGRUBhang on 2nd install
by Dan Thurman
Hi all,
I did a little more researching but nothing gave me any
clues to what is going on and why GRUB hangs... I inserted
CD1 and ran linux rescue and found:
My drives and partitions are:
/dev/hda1 /boot (active)
/dev/hdb3 /
/etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# ... blah, blah...
#boot=/dev/hda1
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
initrd /initrd-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.img
The above configuration file is correct, so... why
is GRUB hanging when starting up?
All I get on a boot up is all the usual pc bootup text,
then after that a cleared screen with a black background
and 4 characters in white:
GRUB[]
where [] is the block-cursor.
Best regards,
Dan

Again, Thanks!

As you may have seen during your registration process for this mailing

Or did I misunderstand, what you meant by "past emails" ?

Installation of FC T2: GRUB interactive on 1st install and GRUB hang on 2nd install
by Dan Thurman
Hello,
I just joined this mailing list and I have no idea what URL is available
for past emails to this
group so any advice or pointers would be helpful, and thanks in advance.
I have an old VA Linux Systems 501
I have downloaded the FC T2 and I have installed and configured the HDDs
twice
now and it is getting very annoying so I guess that is what being on the
fringe-edge
means... aggravation.... grrrrr.
Try #1:
The first install did not go well. I have gone through two-hours of
installation, partitioning of
the HDDs, and installing 'Everything' for packages and it appears that
this might be the
cause of my woes? It seems that everything was somewhat fine (in spite
that the CDROM
read had difficultling reading some packages that I had to occasionally
retry) but other than
that, the installation seems to complete to the end with the 'reboot'
button. The problem after
installation is this: on reboot, everything was restarted until GRUB
and then GRUB went into
interactive mode. There was NO SETUP -- so I had NO IDEA what I was
looking for since I
hadn't used GRUB in interactive mode before until now. Dang... I found
the splash screen
and that came up but what the heck is the explicit filename for the
vmlinuz???? Anyone have
a sample GRUB.CONF file so I can try a manual boot? Never mind... I
gave up thinking
that my CD's were corrupted so I downloaded T2 again, checked the MD5's
and burned 4
more CDs.
Try #2:
I installed T2 again, starting over from scratch and changed the way I
setup my partitions. NOTE:
there was a problem with manual DRUID, as I noticed that there was NO
WAY TO REMOVE THE
BOOT PARITION on a SECOND drive!!! Sheesh! -- so I got out of the
installation, and booted my
trusty little boot-floppy (self-booting Linux kernel, standalone from 8
years ago) and fdisked out
all the partitions, saved, rebooted, and then restarted the installation
again. This time paritioning
worked to my specs and the installation when completely through with 1
file re-read. Rebooting
after a complete install (using "Everygthing" packages), and an now
revisiting GRUB but this time
the GRUB is HUNG!!!! GOL-DURN-IT!!!!
Now what am I doing wrong folks? Any hints or advice as to how to
kick-start this?
Best regards,
Dan

FC2t3/x86_64 DRI broken?
by Steven Pritchard
So I just upgraded a x86_64 box to FC2 test3, and while glxinfo says I
have direct rendering, everything else seems to disagree... Neither
tuxracer or et.x86 will start, and glxgears only gives me 11 fps.
I tried setting 'Option "AGPMode" "4"' to see if that would help...
It did get glxgears up to around 540 fps, but nothing else works.
Anyway, the system is a Rioworks HDAMC (AccelerTech "Hurricane 64" -
http://www.accelertech.com/products/motherboard/DK8X.php) with a
single 1.4GHz Opteron and a Radeon 9200SE.
glxinfo output is below. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

SATA support missing in kernels post 2.6.5-1.339
by RaXeT
All custom kernels post 2.6.5-1.339 have toasted Promise support.
I compile the same kernel with PROMISE PDC202{68|69|70|71|75|76|77}
support (BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW)
loaded as a module. NO WORKEE anymore.
I'll stick with 339 for now.
Thanks,

hotplugging USB disk on key: incorrect fstab entry
by Alexander Kirillov
I have a problem with USB disk on key (Lexar Jumpdrive) in test 3:
after insertion, hotplug recognizes the drive and adds an entry to
/etc/fstab like this:
/dev/sda /mnt/diskonkey auto ....
This is incorrect, and as a result, clicking on the icon in GNOME's
"Computer" or manually mounting via mount /mnt/diskonkey returns error.
Correct entry should be
/dev/sda1 /mnt/diskonkey auto ....
^^^^
After editing fstab manually, everything works fine. Anyone else has
seen this problem? Should I bugzilla it?
(this is on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop)
