notification area in gnome & kde
by Christoph Wickert 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi there! Some problems with the notification areas in kde and gnome panel: 1. The "famous" 1px wide RHN icon :-) Good: On my box it works fine in both gnome & kde, since I 've chosen kdm for login. Bad: When I chose "Hide from Panel" in the configuration dialog the icon is back after a login. 2. Space wasted by eggcups & pam-panel-icon Although there's only one visible icon (RHN), there's space for 4. pam-panel-icon and eggcups are no visible, but space is wasted. Choosing Quit on eggcups results in an empty notification area: RHN icon is gone, in gnome I get the message, that notification area has chrashed. pam-panel-icon still wasting space. I think, pam-panel-icon should be 0px, if not needed. Any ideas? How can I at least disable it? IMHO at least one is a bug, but I found none on bugzilla (RHN icon of course). I'm not sure, where to look: kdebase and gnome-desktop? Thx Christoph -- Christoph Wickert <christoph.wickert(a)web.de>

Unknown Excel functions in gnumeric-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm
by Paul Dickson 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I downloaded gnumeric from Rawhide (but cmp says severn has the same file) and tried it on my one of my files. Unfortunately, it tells me the function '=upper(concatenate(A1, " ", B1))' is invalid. It was previously valid in an earlier version of gnumeric (RH9) and the documentation on gnumeric's home page says upper and concatenate are Excel functions (so I doubt support was removed). Is there a missing dependancy in gnumeric's RPM causing me to not know what RPMs are missing or should I submit a bug report? On starting up gumeric, I get the following warnings: [dickson@violet 09:24:06 treasury]$ gnumeric sac-data-2003.gnumeric ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Configured default font '(null) 0.000000' not available, trying fallback... sac-data-2003.gnumeric ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Converted xml document with no encoding from pseudo-UTF-8 to UTF-8. ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Could not find child for option "PhysicalSize" with id "US-Legal" ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Could not set value of "PhysicalSize" to "US-Legal" ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Unknown function : concatenate ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Unknown function : upper ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Could not find child for option "PhysicalSize" with id "US-Legal" ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Could not set value of "PhysicalSize" to "US-Legal" ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Could not find child for option "PhysicalSize" with id "US-Legal" ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Could not set value of "PhysicalSize" to "US-Legal" ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: GnomePrint: Requested Helvetica but using Bitstream Charter (Bitstream Charter Bold 12.000000) ** (gnumeric:19102): WARNING **: Trying to fallback to 'Sans' ** (gnumeric:19102): CRITICAL **: file gnumeric-gconf.c: line 298 (gnm_gconf_set_file_history_files): assertion `prefs.file_history_files != list' failed [dickson@violet 09:24:40 treasury]$ -Paul

mozilla theme
by Justin Georgeson 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I realise this is going to be a somewhat offtopic post, but am thinking perhaps the mozilla package maintainer(s) will see this and respond. Thankfully I waited to install a new mozilla theme long enough to notice that it's using the gtk2 theme from the system settings. Is this something RedHat added to the Classic theme? (If I download new themes, can I get this back by going to the Classic theme) I'd like to be able to change to the button icons for a different theme, and keep the gtk2 theme system settings applied. Anyone know how to do that?

Initial look at Fedora Core Test 2
by Philip Wyett 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi, Some initial spots/impressions of Fedora Core Test 2. - Doing a workstation install but de-selecting the games section, still leaves you with kdelibs being installed. - Grub boot screen still has messy layout. - Graphical boot is much faster - Nice! :) Still doesn't look too appealing though. - Beep when graphical login appears is just bloody annoying, but I could live with it! :) - Main part of Gnome panel goes black for around two seconds when loading up. This never affected the same crash test dummy box with RH 9 or Severn beta 1. - 'Desktop' folder in 'home/username' under Gnome 2.4 is a pain because it's case sensitive. Not everyone uses upper case in directory naming and the ability to rename it 'desktop' or even hide it would be nice. - Desktop icons way way spread - see: http://www.philipwyett.dsl.pipex.com/fedora/testing/default_desktop.png Cleaning up by name does not rectify this problem. :( - Alot of the apps when started maximised have a problem in the top right corner of the screen - see: http://www.philipwyett.dsl.pipex.com/fedora/testing/moz_started_max.png - 1 pixel wide notification area on panel is well known about! - 'Add/Remove Applications' still doesn't work for installs. - Mouse console services shutdown permanently fails at shutdown/reboot. - 'md: Recovery thread got woken up' - This thing seriously needs a line of it's own. :) I'll keep my powder dry on Gaim bugs as I think Havoc will soon rawhide 0.69.

suggestion
by Gene C. 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I just used up2date to get and install all of the updates available including the kernel. This is the first time I have had up2date update the kernel. When up2date completed, I noticed that both the old and new kernels were still installed (good) and that the new kernel was now the default (surprised by this but I believe it is the correct thing to do). However, when I went through the up2date panels, there was no message of anything warning/telling me that I will need to reboot to actually have the new kernel take effect. While there may be other installed packages which will not really take effect without a reboot, the kernel is the most obvious and glaring. I really thing some "reminder" would be useful about the reboot being needed. I will put this bugzilla if you desire. -- Gene

I fidured I could... but why would this not work for me? ls -lh |grep drw | \ while read i; do \ (tar -zcvf $i.tgz $i) and zip all the folders in the given location to it's own file... I bow my head in shame.... Stephan

beta 1 laptop install and fix
by Frank Merenda 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Sorry if this is a dup, I wasn't properly subscribed to test, so I wanted to repeat this message for laptop users if it didn't go through. Yeah, I know beta two is out. :) I just installed beta 1 (9.0.93) on a Tecra 8200. The first few times it would hang at /sbin/loader (I think) - right before the graphical mode started up. I tried the 'nofb' option, but that didn't work. I then passed the following into the command line: linux nofb pci=off and the install start working correctly. I had to answer 'no' to 'have driver disk', and 'no' to 'load driver' when new devices were found on boot. I also had to change my boot into level 3, and disable pcmcia, since that service was hanging and preventing me from booting. I haven't tried any devices in pcmcia yet, so I don't know if it will work or not. After that, everything booted fine. I ran startx, and X started correctly. My next question is 'where's gnome 2.4'? How do I get it?

Boot images
by Ossama Khayaat 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi, Trying to create boot disks, the only image that works is bootdisk.img, while if I want to use any of the other images (drvblock.img, drvnet.img, pcmciadd.img) they don't work at all. What I mean is, after I use rawritewin.exe to create the disk, and it says it's created successfully, I can't access the floppy from windows. Also, I can't boot from any of these images. I tried downloading the drvnet.img from the internet, but still it doesn't work. Finally, the iso images I'm using are downloaded correctly (I checked the MD5SUM and it's correct. Any help would be greately appreciated. Regards, Ossama Khayat --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

redhat-config-securitylevel question
by Pekka Pietikäinen 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

I noticed redhat-config-securitylevel got the following change, and was wondering about the rationale (bug 104561 seemed to be marked private last time I checked) * Thu Sep 18 2003 Bill Nottingham <notting(a)redhat.com> 1.2.8-1 - allow ICMP in general (#104561) I was under the impression the previous version which allowed echo and --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED allows all the icmp traffic that is necessary to be a Good Internet Citizen (tm), but obviously there was some case it didn't cover :-) -- Pekka Pietikainen
