2 yum problems
by Neal D. Becker 15 Nov '03

15 Nov '03

I encountered 2 problems with yum today: 1) Installing kernel-source-2.6 removed kernel-source-2.4, but I still need to keep kernel-source-2.4 around. 2) I couldn't find any way to convince yum to reinstall kernel-source-2.4: yum install kernel-source-2.4.22 Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: arjanv Server: Red Hat Linux 1 (i386) Server: Fedora Linux / stable for Red Hat Linux 1 (i386) Server: Red Hat Linux 1 (i386) updates Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (testing) Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (unstable) Server: Macromedia Flash Player for Red Hat Linux 1 Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Cannot find a package matching kernel-source-2.4.22 yum install kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i386 Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Red Hat Linux 1 (i386) Server: Fedora Linux / stable for Red Hat Linux 1 (i386) Server: Red Hat Linux 1 (i386) updates Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (testing) Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (unstable) Server: Macromedia Flash Player for Red Hat Linux 1 Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Cannot find a package matching kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

Fedora Test Update Notification: Mozilla
by Christopher Blizzard 14 Nov '03

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2003-013 2003-11-14 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : mozilla Version : 1.4.1 Release : 18 Summary : Web browser and mail reader Description : Mozilla is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes an issue where Mozilla will crash when visiting sites that include Japanese text. In Fedora Core 1 when the ttfonts-ja package is upgraded it leaves behind a font cache file that includes references to fonts that don't exist.

If the font file didn't exist or was unreadable, Mozilla would crash. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Nov 13 2003 Christopher Blizzard <blizzard(a)redhat.com> 37:1.4.1-18 - Include patch that fixes crashing problems with fonts that can't be read --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/ SRPMS/mozilla-1.4.1-18.src.rpm md5 sum: d7955cb995f8c072fbae6af63bf161fc i386/mozilla-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 3d400d8bffadd9961dabe32b24dd0d87 i386/mozilla-nspr-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 36ae14df2a69080e61f3bc0aa755386a i386/mozilla-nspr-devel-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 48caf99a6f566a5f6e5c5210eef22330 i386/mozilla-nss-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: a059b794c70d7e5a03767a3cb8a7fd70 i386/mozilla-nss-devel-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 6bd546e463fe65210ae1f862a5f8b7c9 i386/mozilla-devel-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 98bb9574eefa33c30638661291245432 i386/mozilla-mail-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 991be1a72cf7f51d76cd0da710c247f8 i386/mozilla-chat-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: ab93a8d0e09fae0ee81a5fb863a4da93 i386/mozilla-js-debugger-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 6bff65b258914e8ae0dbacad88ffe4a8 i386/mozilla-dom-inspector-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 93e69e8444cec4384ad756653aa6a757 i386/debug/mozilla-debuginfo-1.4.1-18.i386.rpm md5 sum: 6fe7af5eb352c3c8d2f38975acb383b9 This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Availability of a rhn-applet update for testing
by Daniel Veillard 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

The release 2.1.4 of rhn-applet fixes some problems making rhn-applet nearly unusable on a default Fedora Core 1 setup: - pop-up dialog asking for registration to RHN - failure to handle HTTP(S) redirect on YUM sources - failure to handle file:/// based YUM sources Related bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108737 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109502 The new version has been tested successfully by a couple of people but more testing is needed. This should hit the fedora test channel soon and for the impatients there is version at: http://people.redhat.com/~veillard/testing/FC1/i386/rhn-applet/2.1.4/ signed with my key.

what is the appropriate list?
by Elton Woo 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

YES, I know I am cross-posting to the lists. But I can't seem to find a clear answer on either one. QUESTION: If there is an outstanding bug from Severn / Fedora Core which is still in Fedora Core Release 1 (Yarrow), *which* is the list where one may comment on such a bug? NOTE: I am NOT referring to a "new" bug, but an unresloved one. respectfully, Elton Woo. -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/team/team_4504.html "You only live once: let's make life BETTER for each other."

I have seen this at rhythmbox's site but I could never compile it right(mainly because I suck at compiling and never took the time to get it right, and then discover dag's rpm :) ). But I was wondering did you compile this just for yourself? Or is there a rpm? I only know of dags and his uses gstreamer.

Unofficial FAQ
by Maxwell Kanat-Alexander 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Just to let everybody on the list know, I've written an Unofficial FAQ for Fedora, that answers questions that people have most commonly, and solves various issues that they have. It's at <http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/> I wrote it because we were getting an incredible volume of questions on #fedora during the first few days of the release, and a FAQ was the only way to deal with it. It's been really helpful in the channel -- maybe it will be helpful to the list, too. If you have something that you think should be added, post the question (preferably with a solution) on <http://fedora.artoo.net/forum/> I hope this helps some people out. -M (I've cross-posted to fedora-test-list just because so many questions keep coming up over there.)

rhythmbox packages
by seth vidal 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hey, I posted some rhythmbox 0.6.0 packages the other day to: http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/RPMS/rhythmbox/ Would it be possible for those to be released as bug-fix errata for 0.5.4 I know it's not important but it does speed up rhythmbox tremendously. I had to make almost no changes to the 0.5.4 spec file. -sv
