Re: startx vs init 5
by Dwaine Castle
Brian,
I've listed some of the console output below.
/etc/X11/perfdm does start the GUI without the error messages, but that is
because it sends everthing to /dev/null. I guess that is why I couldn't
find these error messages in the logs. So, these errors may occur when I
start X sessions with init 5.
Is runlevel 5 unimportant to X-windows?
Thanks.
Dwaine

Some packages need updating (relies on libcurl.so.2)
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
yum update has failed as it's looking for libcurl.so.2 for vorbis-tools,
xine-ui, grip and php. This looks like a packaging error as the lib is
provided in curl 0-7.11.1-2 .
By the looks of it, these need updating as curl 0-7.12.0-2 is on the
update list

FC3T1 - After Install, can no longer SSH into system from FC1
by richard mullens
I did a clean install of FC3T1 on a machine that had FC1 on it.
Afterwards another machine (installed with FC1) would no longer SSH into
the machine.
The FC1 advice on overcoming this wasn't helpful to a newbie.
Of course this is a problem with FC1. Don't know if this happens on FC3T1.
In retrospect, I guess it would have helped if I'd chosen a different IP
address (or ethernet card ?).

[FC3] Differences in ssh or Xauthorization...
by Harry Putnam
In past versions I've been able to access root while in $user X
session like this:
xterm -e ssh root@localhost
That would bring up an xterm with a password request. Once logged in
this root xterm would then have priviledges to run X applications in
users X session. It could start its own `netscape' session for
example.
I don't normally run netscape as root but am using it here for a clear
example. The real apps I'm having this problem with are things like
emacs or gvim.
In FC3, when I do this, the root xterm cannot get access to my user
display. I get errors like:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I know about `xhost' and the X11 forwarding of ssh (which is set to
YES) but in the past nothing like that was necessary.
Anyone know what changes are causing this?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I am trying to get FC running on the above h/w.
I tried FC2 for AMD64 (FC2-x86_64). It installs OK, but it hangs during
boot[1].
So, I tried FC3 test1 (FC3-test1-x86_64), but it doesn't even boot from
the CD - I get a screen of white noise[2]
Can someone help?
Max.
[1] The FC grub(?) screen shows up with only one thing on the list. When
I hit return, I see it show the 'hit (I) to boot manually' or something
like that (I don't hit any keys), but the screen goes blank. I wait a
long time, but it doesn't come back. If I hit the power button, it comes
back (the last boot message is to do with the swap space), displaying
the shutdown and power off messages; and it then powers off.
[2] My video card is a PCI ATI card.

yum groupinstall groupupgrade
by Harry Putnam
How do the yum options groupinstall groupupgrade work?
The yum man page doesn't bother to explain any more than:
* groupinstall [...]
* groupupdate [...]
Which appears it would be
`yum groupupgrade pkg pkg2 pkg3'
That fails though so it must mean something different.
yum groupupdate cdda2wav cdrecord

Boot up messages concerning devlabel
by Harry Putnam
There seems to be some sort of timing problem or something related to
devlabel activity during bootup.
After a complete update (except perl) I see many lines of warning
during bootup that something can't find:
/var/lib/devlabel/ignore_list
And once booted a ls -l /var/lib/devlabel/ignore_list
shows a zero length file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 26 17:58 /var/lib/devlabel/ignore_list
Anyone know what this is about. Doesn't seem to be particularly
harmful but then I'm probably not really using devlabel for anything.

[FC3] Can yum download progress graph be controlled
by Harry Putnam
I wondered if there is a setting that controls how yum records
download progress. What I see currently is a line for every few kb of
increased data like this.

It can take up lots of screen realestate. Can I set something so this
just occupies one line?
