Re: no kernal after 2.6.23.1-23 boots
by ray goss
I don't think it was because of hitting the max
bootcount , that would have affected the -23 kernel
also and as I said in the original message the -23
kernal would boot normaly , after each time a later
kernal would fail I would reboot and select the -23
kernal from the grub menu and boot to run the
softwareupdater in hopes that an update fixed the
problem .

no kernal after 2.6.23.1-23 boots
by ray goss
this is a repost to add that I get same message with
-30 and -31 kernals
after update to kernal 2.6.23.1-26 fc8t3 nolonger
boots, the last few lines displayed are .
starting udev ok
load default keymap ok
setting hostname localhost.localdomain ok
no devices found
setting up logical volume management: no volume
groups found
ok
checking filesystems
failed
***** an error occured during the file system check
****** droping you to a shell ; the system will reboot
***** when you leave the shell
give root password for maintainence
( or type control-D to continue )
giving root password I can browse around in the
filesystem
including /home/(me) and all seems normal.
kernal 2.6.23.1-23 boots normaly
is there any way around this other than wait for a
kernal that gets lvm straight ?

Re: no kernal after 2.6.23.1-23 boots

I tried running fsck /dev/sdb1 ( the / partition of
the drive fedora lives on ,it said clean ) I rebooted
and the system booted the -31 kernel , I'll see if it
continues to boot . The question though is why when
the boot scripts run from the -23 kernel did it boot
normaly and not from a later kernel ? a difference in
the way or sequence that kernals after -23 mount the
drives ?

F7: How to get spell check to work in Alpine 0.9999
by Gilbert Sebenste
Hello all,
I cannot get the spell checker to work in the Alpine email/news reader
that was compiled on Koji by hitting ctrl-T in the message body. Using
/etc/pine.conf, none of these work when uncommented out:
#speller=/usr/bin/pine-spellcheck
#speller=/usr/bin/aspell
#speller=
The first and the middle entries gives me an error:
Alternate Speller terminated abnormally -1
The last entry gives me:
Spell-checking file "" not found
Any ideas?

Opening Mugshot Stacker
by Aravind Seshadri
I have Mugshot 1.1.49 installed in Fedora 7 on my laptop. My preferred
browser is Firefox (current version is 2.0.0.8). Whenever I click on a
link in Mugshot Stacker I get the following SELinux denial message.
**********************************************************************
Summary
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.8/firefox-bin from
loading /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so which requires text
relocation.
Detailed Description
The /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.8/firefox-bin application attempted to load
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so which requires text relocation. This
is a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this
permission. Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this
permission. The http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html web
page explains how to remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux
temporarily to allow /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so to use relocation
as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

display dimension/resolution - what affects settings?
by Tom London
Running a laptop with Intel graphics (X60) and intel driver, I
typically connect to 19" external monitors both at home and at work.
The monitors are different (one HP, one MEL).
The layout is 'different' on two monitors.
Diffing the output of xdpyinfo shows:
[tbl@localhost ~]$ diff home-xdpyinfo work-xdpyinfo
20c20
< focus: window 0x1c00096, revert to Parent
---
> focus: window 0x1800020, revert to Parent
59,60c59,60
< dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (246x185 millimeters)
< resolution: 132x141 dots per inch
---
> dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (376x301 millimeters)
> resolution: 86x86 dots per inch
[tbl@localhost ~]$
What 'goes into' these settings?
Windows laid out on the right border on one screen is positioned about
a third of the way in on the other.
This due to display differences?

no kernal after 2.6.23.1-23 boots
by ray goss
running fsck /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
returns no valid ext2 file system bad superblock tun
e2fsck on an alternate superblock .
the system boots normaly when I select kernel
2.6.23.1-23
gparted shows from within fedora shows that drive
(sdb1) as ext3 , hardware info from Ubuntu 7.04 also
on the same box (sda) shows it to be ext3
also.entering my root pwd after the boot halts with
-26 or later I can access and browse the file system
in text mode , I can access and browse the file system
from Ubuntu.
it may be a filesystem error but why does it affect
only Fedora kernals 2.6.23.1-26 and later ?

My wishlist for f8
by Neal Becker
1. Where are hibernate/suspend options on the X greeter?
2. Where is shutdown/hibernate/etc on kde's logout (used to be there, now I
only have end current session or cancel)
3. iwl4965 only works if I rmmod/modprobe it. Anyone else? Any ideas on
how to debug? Is this a problem with firmware d/l? How can I tell?
4. No sound with intel ICH8 (Realtek 268 chip) with
kernel-2.6.23.1-26.fc8.x86_64, but sound and mixers work great with
kernel-2.6.23.1-16.ALSA_NV.x86_64 (posted here earlier)
