ALSA drivers - Intel HD Audio
by Mister Ribbit
I have the new Intel HD Audio on board my Intel D915GEV motherboard,
and I'm trying to get it working. I think I can do it if I compile
the driver that Intel supplies on their web page, but they say that
the driver has been handed off to the ALSA project, and I've found it
in the alsa-driver 1.0.6 package (but not 1.0.5). I was wondering if
FC3 would ship with an updated kernel to have the 1.0.6 driver (or the
new 1.0.6a) so that it would be working straight out of the box in the
future. Or, maybe you are on that set of drivers, and somehow have
lost the azx driver for this hardware.
Thanks!
Ciao!

Didn't get answer
by Andrius
Hello,
I didn't get answer to my question. Is it problem unclear or unknown? In installation process of Fedora Core 3 test 2 for AMD64 I got such bug message "Bug: Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:471 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed." (after keyboard configuration). If I press cancel I can go through other steps, but when I got the same message when it is time to copy packages to disk and installation stops.

Re: yum not updating fc3t1 to fc3t2
by Wood David
Already running this as su. Tried using up2date instead, but got a
dependency conflict with the x11-base-fonts (as it's gone in fc3t2).

Unable to get the CD Database to work identifying audio CD's
by Brian Craft
I'm running FC3 Test 2 and can't get the Gnome CD player (CD Player
2.8.0) and the CD Database to work together. The audio cd's work fine,
but it won't go out and grab the information about the audio cd.
Any idea's or anyone else having the same problem?

Kmail 1.7 problem
by Thomas Taylor
Hi All:
Kmail 1.7 (Using KDE 3.3.0-2 Red Hat)
Fedora Core 3 test 2
kernel 2.6.8-1.541smp
Since I'm using a test distro I'll also send this to FC-test list.
Once I managed to get the configuration setup correctly the program works fine
as far as up/downloading mail. The problem I've encountered is in trying to
change the headers view.
Under the 'View' menu, the headers item is grayed out and there is no way to
go into 'Settings-Kmail' and change the type of headers to display (long,
fancy, standard, etc).
To try to bypass this lack, I tried 'Settings-Configure Toolbars', adding
"Show All message headers" and "Show long list of message headers" to the
toolbar.
The first time I clicked on "Show all message headers", it seemed to work
properly, expanding the header list from "long headers" to "all headers".
The problem presents when I clicked on "Show long message headers" and
received a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) message and the program bombed. I'm attaching
the backtrace log for review.
Ever since that change I have been stuck in the "show all headers" mode. Any
time I try to change it results in the signal 11 message and the program
bombs.
Should I try reloading just Kmail, all KDE, or ??
Thanks, Tom

Fedora Core 2 Test Update: gimp-2.0.5-0.fc2.1
by Nils Philippsen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-328
2004-09-30
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 2
Name : gimp
Version : 2.0.5
Release : 0.fc2.1
Summary : The GNU Image Manipulation Program
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.

On the edge and bleeding heavily.
by john brennan-sardou
Good evening everybody,
Just trying to install fc3 test2 by a dvd iso and it does not work. Simply
because after booting and asking what language and keyboard I have fc3
refuses to recognise the dvd reader or the dvd copier which are on my system.
Funny enough it seems to have recognised them at the beginning in order to
boot. It keeps asking for the cd. Tough I only have dvd units on my system.
Any ideas please?
John Brennan-Sardou.

Upgrading Evolution 1.4 to 2.0
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
A colleague previously running FC2 has tried upgrading to FC3t2. Since
no GRUB entry was made for FC3t2 during the install process (only
Win2000 was listed, the newly installed FC3t2 was not accessible!) she
tried a new install erasing the FC2 partition.
She had backups of her ~/evolution folder and wants to migrate the mail
to Evolution 2 (having updated the shipped package to 2.0). The
~/evolution folder is copied to the user directory, Evolution starts and
appears to ignore this folder.
Has anyone been able to migrate their Evolution mail folders to 2.0 this
way? I can't find any documentation on this.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132878#c7 reports
the GRUB issue. I realize I could have update grub.conf but couldn't be
bothered to work out the entry).
Thanks in advance,
Leon...

Worst experience with Up2Date ever.
by Rodd Clarkson
I'm having real problems with up2date since upgrading from FC2 to FC3t2.
There was the usual flood of new packages after the release of FC3t2 and
up2date seemed to be totally incapable of downloading them and
installing. Worse, up2date would show that packages needed to be
installed, but couldn't find them when asked to update them, or would
show nothing needing to be updated when there were over 175 packages
needing updating.
The icon in the notification area is currently displaying as red and
shows that 55 packages need updating, but if I click on the icon and
then click Launch up2date (which shows 55 packages needing updates) and
then click through, up2date says my system is up to date (it isn't)
It's trying to use yum channel fedora-core-rawhide from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/
for the updates.
