Enlightenment FC3
by Mark Farmer
Has anyone got Enlightenment running on FC3 yet?
If so, what rpm(s) did you use & where did you get them? Looking on pbone only finds FC1 & FC2.

help needed: Upgrade 2.4.9 xfs to fedora
by Jim Li
I am having problems upgrading to fedora from 2.4.9 xfs, specifically
i don't know why some of the features such as ipchains disappears and
X windows cannot get started after the upgrade. Is there a procedure
or links explaining the procedures on how to upgrade redhat 7.1/7.2 to
fedora.
Sincerely,
Al

kmail and threading
by John Summerfield
I was using kmail on nahant and it was threading nicely.
On FC3 it absolutely refuses to, and I _have_ compared settings.
In Settings/Configure Kmail/Appearance/Headers I have
x Show Attachment Icon
x Thread list of message headers
o Open threads that contain ...
o Fancy format
"Thread list of message headers" looks to me to be the one that does the
trick, but it makes no difference I can on Nahant (threading works) or FC3
(where it doesn't).
Any ideas?

selinux and mysql problem
by Florin Andrei
I just filed this bug into bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=141434
Essentially, on a running FC3 system that was installed a while ago, is
updated regularly and has minimal additions (some Freshrpms, ATrpms and
PlanetCCRMA packages were added), i installed mysql-server via yum. But
launching mysqld fails because of selinux.
I can't believe i'm the only one being hit by this bug. However, a quick
search on bugzilla did not reveal much.
If you're seeing this same problem, please add your comments to
bugzilla.

Re: xcdroast and 2.6.x kernel in user mode
by Davor Herga
Hello again!
Solve the problem!
The point was, that things didn't work well with compiled versions.
After turning on the non-root mode, I had to manually add the CD
devices. I used /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd.
It all worked well while I was loged as root, but no chance in user mode.
When I used the RPMs from Fedora Core 3, xcdroast did mention that root
password would be needed for nonprivileged user to start, but it didn't.
The non-root mode is not there, but all works well for non-privileged
user. No root password needed.
Si I have to correct myself - IT WORKS!
And thank you Alexander for that list of your installed RPMs.
Davor.

Fedora and Moneydance install Question
by Terry R. Grier
* These are the instructions on how to install moneydance. there are no
YUMs for it.
I need/want this program to work with Fedora 3.
I have followed this to the letter. and the files are in the folder.
But at the comand line when I type moneydance I get 'bash: moneydance:
command not found'
*
*I am just wasting my time here? .... or am I missing a step?
or ... are these instructions... no good? ....
*
*the program runs in Java. I followed the instruction on fedorafaq.org
and installed java first.*
*www.moneydance.com
*
*If this will not work... what program to people use for personal
finances? I truly enjoyed using this program.
T
*
Once you have downloaded the appropriate package, untar the file into
a directory on your system like so:
%> gunzip moneydance_*.tar.gz
%> tar xf moneydance_*.tar -C /usr/local
This will create the /usr/local/moneydance directory. We use /usr/local
as an example, Moneydance can be installed in any location.
** /Please skip this step if you are not installing the "Other" package.
/ If you downloaded the "Other" package above, you will need to create a
symbolic link named "jre" in the /usr/local/moneydance directory that
points to the location of Java on your system. For example, if your java
executable is at /usr/j2se/bin/java then you should create the link like
so:
%> cd /usr/local/moneydance
%> ln -s /usr/j2se jre
** You can now run Moneydance by executing the 'moneydance' script in
the new directory.
%> /usr/local/moneydance/moneydance
To make starting Moneydance from the command line easier, you can create
a symbolic link in your path that points to the moneydance startup script:
%> cd /usr/local/bin
%> ln -s /usr/local/moneydance/moneydance moneydance
For your convenience we have provided a moneydance.xpm file that can be
used with a desktop icon for launching Moneydance from a GUI such as KDE
or GNOME.

You want to be funny, don't you? Just that nobody laughs. You are
telling no news and even about an obsolete issue. See my reply to your
mail. Maybe you ignore replies.
Alexander
Sorry, missed your earlier reply.
The problem is, that I have xcdroast-0.98alpha15 compiled and installed and cdrtools-2.01 also compiled and installed.
As hard as I try (Non-root mode is activated) I can't burn CD's in user mode, but it works perfectly well when loged in as root.
I have FC3 with 2.6.9-1.667 kernel and it simply doesn't work.
All I can think off, though I doubt it would help, is to install xcdroast and cdda2wav from the Fedora Core 3 RPMS.
Is this link - http://k3b.plainblack.com/index.pl/news2 - also obsolete?
P.S.
I do have a better sence for humour, really ...
