Bug in konsole
by Harry Putnam
My setup:
*--
Software:
Linux kernel 2.6.7-1.517 Architecture i686
Fedora Core release 2.90 (FC3 Test 1)
kde desktop
Hardware:
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz
cpu MHz : 1994.032
*--
I'm seeing a freeze in a konsole terminal under these circumstances:
From an xterm: konsole &
The resulting terminal reports `echo $TERM'
konsole
Now from that konsole ssh LANHOST (login)
In that terminal press ^-s (C-s). It then is unusable.
(LANHOST is also running FC 2.90 updated

It should be fixed in FC3 test2.

usb disk installations
by Jim Cornette
I attempted to install FC3T1 on a USB drive using expert mode. It seems
that all the proper files installed on the disk. The disk is a laptop
disk contained inside a usb - ATA adapter and seems to work with the
proper modeles loaded.
Are there any plans to get the module needed to mount USB disks loaded
soon enough to be able to boot from these disks.
My grub.conf file is in the attached file.
There is a lot of interest in getting this concept to work.
Thanks,
Jim

Python or yum broken?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've just tried a few times to do a yum check-update and all I'm getting
is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 135, in ?
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 62, in main
result, resultmsgs = base.doCommands()
TypeError: unpack non-sequence
Is this yum or python being silly. I've just used yum to update
evolution, so it's hard to say!
yum clean does something similar.

Better, but seems to wave at left/right edges - xorg-x11
by Jim Cornette
I just installed the latest xorg-x11 rpms and X comes up now. I am able
to start typing this message and all seems well.
I was able to comment that the fix that brought X up again was working,
then it messed up on the last trial.
The only problem that I noticed was a wavy like action on the left and
right sides of the screen. This is using the stock rpms from recent
days. This is with pure binaries and no horrible hacking applied.
Also, the i686 optimized rpms are working fine on the other installation
that I have on the same machine.
This gives hopes to those with the i810 driver running their video
cards. So does anyone with similar video hardware note any improvements
or regressions?
A noted improvement with this X version, compared with xorg-x11-6.7.0-6,
which this system had installed onto it before the upgrade relates to
higher glxgears readings.
xorg-x11-6.7.0-6 results:
glxgears
349 frames in 5.0 seconds = 69.800 FPS
360 frames in 6.0 seconds = 60.000 FPS
357 frames in 6.0 seconds = 59.500 FPS
360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 72.000 FPS
360 frames in 6.0 seconds = 60.000 FPS
360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 72.000 FPS
360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 72.000 FPS
360 frames in 6.0 seconds = 60.000 FPS
360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 72.000 FPS
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-2 rates at:
glxgears
621 frames in 6.0 seconds = 103.500 FPS
480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS
480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS
480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS
480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 96.000 FPS
and glxinfo will be included with bug closing on my submitted open bug
reports.

Laptop and Hyperthread
by TGS
Okay, I am now ready to figure out why my hyperthreaded laptop hangs when
booting into a SMP kernel under Fedora. Knoppix seems to work just fine.
So I was wondering if anyone has done that, and also any hints on how to
debug it.
I have had it boot correctly only once, under 533. Others either hang
forever, or progress at a snails pace, taking 3 hours to boot the machine.

Problems with recent updates (with fix)
by Erich Hoover
I had problems after updating recently where absolutely nothing could
get modprobe'd, so I tried manually modprobing things and received
errors about lines in /etc/modprobe.conf.dist. I tried commenting out
the lines and it just made errors with other lines. I ended up just
renaming /etc/modprobe.conf.dist and modprobe started working fine
again. Don't know if this will help anyone but having modprobe is
certainly a good thing.

Icons and sound on rawhide
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Some things have vanished from the current rawhide release.
1. My "home" icon has vanished totally. How do I get it back?
2. All of the icons in the redhat menu have gone.
3. After booting up, I have to set the volume levels for my soundcard.
Anyone else finding these problems?

lots of brokenness (was: Re: module-init-tools-3.0-2.i386.rpm)

A lot seems busted lately. Kernels 532, 533, and 535 all paniced on
me eventually, but I've had no chance to bugzilla anything due some
other busy-ness (fighting the good fight against the whole Sender-ID
patent crap).
Seems that udev isn't starting in the right place, or something
related to that. I'm getting permission errors on /dev/null (!),
non-existant /dev/microcode and other madness. I think I finally have a
stable kernel, but I'll need to let it run (really, limp along with the
other problems it has) for a while to see how stable the kernel is.
I downgraded initscripts and it didn't solve my (seemingly) udev
problems. Anyone know if installing module-init-tools-3.0-2 will fix
this? If so, I guess I'll have to hunt down a copy.
As an upside, once I get X up and running on my i810, it seems to work
just fine.
