Updating to GNOME 2.7
by Mark McLoughlin
Hey,
Just a heads up - starting soon we're going to be updating FC3 to GNOME
2.7. Its a lot of packages and there are bound to be transient problems
but hopefully things won't be too bad.
We'll also be going through the process (on fedora-desktop-list) of
figuring out which of the new GNOME packages we'll be including in FC3.
>From a cursory look, those are:
- dasher
- evolution-webcal
- gnome-keyring-manager
- gnome-nettool
Appended is the list of packages which need updating. Obviously, more
packages will need updating as releases upstream happen.
As this is happening, please do test and report any brokenness on
fedora-test-list - we'll let you know whether its a simple transient
issue or something you should put into bugzilla.
Thanks,
Mark

anyone seeing failing cron.* jobs on FC3t1/rawhide?
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
I'm seeing:
Jul 30 09:01:01 tembo crond(pam_unix)[19124]: session opened for user
root by (uid=0)
Jul 30 09:01:01 tembo crond[19124]: Critical error - immediate abort
errors in /var/log/messages with no other errors indicated in
/var/log/cron.
This is a clean install of the rawhide of 2004-07-29 on an AMD-K6-2
400MHz system. I've made a bugzilla entry against vixie-cron for this
but I don't have/remember the bug number.
Running the commands from /etc/cron.daily/<whatever> "by hand" yeilds no
errors, so I suspect it is an environmental setup error. SeLinux is in
permissive mode but I don't see any avc's for cron or the commands.

mtrr and ioctl - will patch help?
by Jim Cornette
I was reading up on mtrr and ioctl because of a problem that I have with
starting X up when my computer is first booted. Google brought up this post.
Subject PATCH: fix bogus ioctl return in mtrr
This is fairly self explanatory - ENOIOCTLCMD is an internal code
outside of the -1 to -511 range. The correct return for an unknown ioctl
is -ENOTTY
although some Linux devices return the incorrect -EINVAL result.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/7/27/242
My trouble seems to be with my video memory taking a long time to set up
correctly.
Anyway, is there going to be a patched kernel soon to test?
Jim

Track down problem with access to display 0.0
by Harry Putnam
Summary:
Running FC3T1 (updated)
Kde desktop
Using default run level 3 and `startx' from cli to enter X.
Can someone point me to documentation that spells out the string of
events that occur when X is started. In my case I default to run
level 3 and `startx' as needed.
In past releases I've always been able to ssh root@localhost from a
user xterm in X and the resulting root terminal would be able to run X
applications in that users X session. Now I get messages that say
things like: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display
Depending on which app it is, the warnings differ but always `no access
to display' is the punch line.
I'm thinking if I unravel the scripting that startx runs I'll find
where somekind of authorization is being invoked. Maybe --nolisten or
something similar. I have looked at /etc/X11 scripts like `startx',
`xinit' and `Xclients' but am getting really lost as to what is
calling what etc.
I hoped somewhere the startup sequence of X in Fedora specifically
might be outlined.
PS-setting `xhost +' doesn't seem to have any effect on this.

Spamassassin/Evolution under fc3t1
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
If I disable all spam checks under the current beta of Evolution, my
email comes down happily.
If I enable them, the email slows down considerably and finally sticks
on message 12 (it is always message 12).
I've seen this before and basically, it just needed .spamassassin being
hosed - but that doesn't seem to have worked this time.
On my other FC3t1 machine, SA works just fine (that box hasn't missed a
beat other than going from RH 7.3 to 8) as does the FC2 box at work. As
a quick test, I've just brought over the .spamassassin directory from
the other machine and downloading email/checking is still dog slow.
Any ideas on what is causing this?
