Evolution fix?
by James Drabb 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

I am using evolution now under 0.94, so I lost the original thread. As a temporary fix try this: cd /usr/bin mv evolution-1.4 evolution-1.4.orig vim evolution-1.4 put this in evolution-1.4 #!/bin/bash LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 evolution-1.4.orig chmod 755 evolution-1.4 This should work around the NPTL issues in evolution-wombat.

Severn 2 and kernel-smp-2.6.0-0.test5.1.45.i686.rpm don't get along
by Willem Riede 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

I upgraded my test box to severn 2 today - went smoothly. As this is a dual PIII box, I heeded Michael Johnson's warning and didn't run smp until I upgraded to kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2075.nptl.i686.rpm. That went without a hitch too. So, feeling lucky, I installed Arjan's kernel-smp-2.6.0-0.test5.1.45.i686.rpm but with that kernel the box hung during the initscripts -- with the graphical boot it is not as clear where the problem is, but it appears to be with the advanced power monitoring. Does anyone else see that? Probably, I should just disable apmd, as my box doesn't support it anyway. Regards, Willem Riede.

Compiling Kernel
by Robert L Cochran 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

I have to use the gcc32 compiler to compile the kernel and modules, right? If so...pardon a dumb question...but do I edit the Makefile variable CC=gcc to CC=gcc32? Or do I export a variable CC=gcc32? What's the approved way? Thanks -- Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA http://greenbeltcomputer.biz/

Fedora: low mem warning with 512 MB!
by Jos Vos 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Hi, While installing Fedora, it warns me that it will immediately enable swap because I have too litte mem. But I have 512 MB! If I look at /proc/meminfo on VC2, I see that it indeed sees all the mem I have. Is this a known problem?

apt/yum & up2date
by Lorenzo Prince 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

How can I use up2date to install packages from apt & yum repositories without the RHN registration coming up? Does that default option in the sources file take care of that? Every time I try to use up2date it gives me the RHN screen. Prince -- #!/bin/bash /usr/games/fortune linuxcookie

OT: touchpad with scrolling capabilities
by Santiago Erquicia 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

I know that this doesn't belong to this list, but I would like to know where should I mention this. I have a new Toshiba notebook and one thing that I really like about my touchpad is that if I move my finger at the right part of it upwards or downwards it scrolls the windows up and down. If I do the same, with my finger at the bottom part and moving to the left and right, it scrolls horizontally the window where I am. Does anyone know who should I comment of this functionality?

Fedora Core: initial encounter (RH doesn't like my machine??)
by Elton Woo 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

As with Severn beta1 (RH 9.0.93), Fedora Core (RH 9.0.94) did not install until after three attempts. Previous betas (wolverine, etc) always installed on the first attempt. Download ISO's: Bittorrent was *disappointingly slooooow*. I could have latched on to a mirror and gotten the three CD's much faster using mozilla. Run md5sums, ISO's check out OK, burnt 'em with K3b. Burn successful _no error_ messages whatever. Boot, check media = OK, proceed ... and THEN ---> With Fedora, my first install resulted in a kernel oops (evinced by my flashing keyboard lights. Because it refused to create the boot disk (two previously used 1.44M diskettes in my LS-120 drive aka /dev/hdb). Second try: "Install Everything": "error installing ncurses 5.3.9 ... you may have insufficient space [on a 20 Gb drive!!!??] or this might indicate a hardware defect" ... hmm, maybe my] Quantum is failing? Third try: "Custom" ... <*WHEW*>!!! finally, success! Old or previous bugs resurface: 1. Install "all packages" fails, as before: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101078 2. In KDE, the Start Here folder is a "malformed URL" 2. My beloved RFE is still a RFE. I had to configure the scanner. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80613 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101078 3. After installing, redhat-configure-packages, keeps insisting on "install disk". Install only works from the console window or by clicking on the icons in the nautilus CD window. 4. Autologin dialog "unreadable" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101511 5. Kmail still misbehaves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102532 6. Since the Start Here is malformed in KDE, I can't add startup programs. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102533 Graphical boot is indeed faster. Should I remove sendmail to speed up things? During installation, I'm pretty sure I saw something mentioned about a joystick configuration applet, but I find no such item.

Upgrading an LVM System
by Mark W. Jeanmougin 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Most of my boxes use LVM for disk management. When I use Fedora Core (or Severn, or Shrike) to try to upgrade from a system based on LVM, I get the following error: Mount failed One or more of the file systems listed in the /etc/fstab on your Linux system cannot be mounted. Please fix this problem and try to upgrade again. First off, this would be much easier to troubleshoot if it listed which filesystems couldn't be mounted. Second, it would be nice if you could adjust the contents of your /etc/fstab and then try again, rather than having to reboot. Of course, the root cause of the problem is that you should be able to upgrade a system which was installed onto LVM. Should I bugzilla this? Thanks, MJ
