Adding /etc/mono/config.d
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi
I have a mono package waiting to be submitted for FE (it's an SDL and
OpenGL wrapper for C#), but it needs to add to the /etc/mono/config file
which is a no-no really.
How hard would it be to add /etc/mono/config.d/ into the mono path
(along the lines of the apache config.d directory)? It would be a great
help for those adding .NET packages and make adding config files a hell
of a lot safer.
I'm happy to bugzilla this as a request, but thought I'd ask here first.

mono-1.1.16-2 and FC5
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
gtksourceview-sharp is failing to build under FC5 as the newer -2
version isn't yet in core. It seems stable enough at this end (and I use
it quite a lot daily). Any chance of it being added to a new push for
core?

FC5 and Xorg 7.1 Current Status?
by Marc Schwartz
Hi all,
Just curious on the current status of Xorg 7.1 for FC5.
There are various posts on various forums suggesting that it is "in the
works" without a defined time frame, though comments from Mike Harris
last month on FCP implying a desire to do it sooner than later.
Now that nVidia has released a new driver version today (8774) which
supports 7.1, it would be nice to test the functionality available for
the 'bling'.
Any updates?
Thanks,
Marc Schwartz

Previous versions of installation files?
by Andrew Kroeger
Greetings:
I hit a fatal exception in anaconda earlier today while doing some
configuration testing. No problem... filed a bug (#204005) and got a
response back shortly indicating it was fixed in rawhide.
But...
The issue I found was in the rawhide anaconda. The rawhie RPMs are
versioned, so if there's a problem, I can always work around it.
However the installation files (minstg2.img, stage2.img, vmlinuz,
initrd.img, etc.) are not versioned.
Is there any location where previous builds of the installation files
are archived? I'm not expecting something that would be included in the
mirror infrastructure, as this is more specific to testing/development.
Given that I mirror updates locally for my testing, I lose the
previous versions of the installation files when new ones are released.
When a stopper like I encountered bug occurs, I'm SOL until it's fixed
and pushed out. (Granted, I could go back to the files on the FC6t2
snapshot, but then I'd lose fixes for newer bugs.)
Is there anything like this (or could it be done), or so I need to
include my own versioning when I mirror the installation files?
Thanks,

Re: Dual boot + hibernate
by Mike Leahy
Leon,
Thanks for the tip - I'm thinking it would be kind of nice if the grub
hook could be excluded as a commandline option when running the
pm-hibernate executable (kind of like how yum allows you to
enable/disable individual repos). Oh well...this workaround will do the
trick for me.
And yes - hibernate is working fine for me as far as I can tell. But I
have only been running FC6T2 for about two weeks now. Whatever is
breaking hibernate for you Leon either occurred with earlier updates
that I didn't get, or some other problem I could only guess at.
Regards,
Mike

Thunderbird does not open Firefox
by Robert M. Albrecht
Hi,
when clicking a link in an email, Firefox does not start.
If I start Firefox manually, after clicking the link, a new tab is
created in Firefox and the webpage shows up.
Is this a configuration issue or a bug ?
Last yum upate was today.

Evolution and glibc on x86_64
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm running rawhide on an x86_64 box. After applying yesterdays updates
for Evolution and glibc, I'm finding Evolution has stopped working
completely.
I start evolution up via either the command line or by selecting the
icon, everything is okay and then things go wrong. Evolution starts
eating upto 90% of the processor time and refuses to go any further.
>From the command line, I've attempted to start it up with and without
plugins. The software hasn't crashed, it's just got itself confused.
Is anyone else seeing this?
rpm -qa evolution glibc
evolution-2.7.92-3.fc6
glibc-2.4.90-23
glibc-2.4.90-23
