eth1 not activated during boot
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
During installation of fc7t4 x86_t4 on an asus a8n-e,
I configured both eth0 and eth1. But eth1 is not
activated during boot. I expected to see it activated
aftereth0 is activated, but no attempt appears to
be made to activate it. Both devices are shown as
active in the system menu. I had to add an ifconfig
command to rc.local.

Anaconda != kernel drive assignments
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Installing fc7t4 on an Asus p5b-e with a mix of IDE and SATA
drives, the one VFAT partition showed up as sdd3 on the install
and sdc3 on the booted kernel. This required hand editing
fstab.

F7 Test4: Nautilus-search: multiple files cannot be moved or copied, but single files do
by Guido Ledermann
Hello,
can please someone confirm that if you search with nautilus-search-tool
and several files are found, you cannot move nor copy them when
selecting more than one. If you do it with only one file it works.
Interesting, that the version of is
nautilus-search-tool.i386 0.2-2.fc6
which would mean, that this bug also exists in FC6.
Guido
BTW: Workaround -> move to trash -> open trash -> copy or move it to
wherever you want...

re: Default action on .odt files

I had fc6 x86_64 system with one odt file created in fc6.
Upgraded to f7 test4 and now a double click on that file in nautilus
opens openoffice....
Right clicking gives a default of open with "word processor" (aka openoffice)
and "open with" gives as alternatives, in order:
- abiword
- archive manager
- wine
so it seems ok at my part

F7T4 DVD rescue mode question
by Jay Cliburn
I downloaded and burned the F7T4 x86_64 DVD iso with the ultimate goal
of going through a complete installation this weekend. (Already
running up-to-date rawhide.) First, however, I thought I'd have a look
at the rescue mode feature. I'm not sure I understand what's going
on with it anymore. Can someone set me straight?
My steps:
1. Insert DVD
2. Reboot
3. At the first menu, select "Rescue installed system"
4. Kernel boots
5. "Choose a language" (english)
6. "Keyboard type" (us)
7. "Rescue method"
"What type of media contains the rescue image"
Is the "rescue image" the image I just booted from DVD, or is it
the image I'm trying to rescue on my hard drive?
If it's the former (which seems counterintuitive), selecting "Local
CDROM" at this point causes the DVD to eject.
If it's the latter, the program (Anaconda?) demands to know the
location of a Fedora iso somewhere on my /dev/sda1 (/boot) or /dev/sda2
(LVM /).
This no longer seems to work like the rescue feature I'm accustomed
to. I looked on the wiki for any enlightenment from the F7 draft
release notes (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats), but found
none.
Is rescue broken, or is my understanding of rescue broken?
Thanks,
Jay

Beta 4 - Upgrading via YUM
by Roger Grosswiler
Good evening ladies and gentelmen,
i was upgrading from fc6 to f7t4 using yum and the notes from fc6 on
fedoraproject.org
conclusion: my notebook still exists, it is working. Even tough, it
took about 12 hours for the whole process (on a p2/400 mhz, don't
laugh :P)

dillo-0.8.6-3.fc6
...those should be the list for the files to rpm -e. Some of them are
from extras, perhaps some of them are from livna, so this list is for
information. Take what you need and forget about the rest. In fact,
almost everyting is working fine. I still wait for the latest
ndiswrapper from livna, which i hope to be followed soon.
After the upgrade, i was missing some functions (fast-user-switch)
which are there on a installation by default. This applet is now
working too, after i started it manually.
I think, i would make sense to delete the .gnome* - directories in the
home-dir to get the full set of functionalities.

Praise for Notification - "battery may be recalled"
by das
YOU GUYS ARE SOOO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
Sorry, just had to get that out there. I'm delighted
to see this notification at login.
"Battery may be recalled
The battery in your computer may have been
recalled by LENOVO and you may be at risk.
For more information visit the LENOVO battery
recall website."
And buttons for "visit recall website" (which works!)
and "do not show me this again."
It is in fact correct that the battery in my lenovo
thinkpad was recalled.
Very nice, and I hope the database for this kind of
stuff is huge given the number of recalls announced
out there for flaming laptops and such these days.
Much praise and thanks for a very smart feature.

Default action on .odt files
by Christopher A. Williams
Just installed F7T4 yesterday and restored my data from backup. I now
have a situation where the open action on .odt files (OOo writer) is to
try and launch either the archive manager or Java! Archive Manager is
the default and Java is an option. OOo is nowhere to be found.
How do I fix? I'm assuming this is a configuration bug and should
Bugzilla if it isn't already there.
Cheers,
Chris
