Unsigned packages in yum?
by Paul F. Johnson 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hi, Is it just me or is there something wrong with yum updates? I can download the updates fine, but when it comes to the install, all I'm getting is unsigned package //var/cache/yum/development/packages/tk-8.4.9-1.i386.rpm I've imported the PGP files (otherwise I couldn't do the downloads!). Any ideas on what has one wrong? TTFN Paul -- "I'm gonna hit the highway like a bat out of hell with a Cilla Black fan on the bike" - Meatloaf

Thank you everyone for your comments. Stephan.

FC3: Problems with mounting USB harddisk
by Stephan Groß 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hi, I'm trying to use my external USB harddisk under FC3. When I plug in the disk it is recognized by hald and the /etc/fstab is (correctly) modified (see attachment). But if an unpriviledged user mounts one of the ext3 partitions he only has read access but no write access on it. Only root is alowed to read AND write to the partition. If the partition is formated as FAT the user mounting it has both read and write access to it. Short question: Is it possible to get read-write access for ext3 partitions and if yes, how must I adjust my config? Thank you for some advice. Regards, Stephan.

Announcing Fedora Core 3 for PowerPC platforms
by Colin Charles 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

The Fedora Project is proud to announce a TESTING tree for Fedora Core 3 on the PowerPC platforms It is available at: http://fedoraproject.org/fedorappc/FC-3/ For most part, the isos/ directory contains all 8 ISOs, the first four which are the binaries, the remainder which are SRPMS. If you want a complete binary install, the first 4 ISOs are all you require. The os/ directory contains a full tree of Fedora Core 3 for the PPC platform. As a bonus, we created a repository, so that you can have a yum repository to point to after installation. The repository is: http://fedoraproject.org/fedorappc/FC-3/os/Fedora/RPMS/ Updates are also available, at a yum-ified repository: ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/people/dwmw2/fc3-updates-ppc/ Some notes about the release: the release is known to not boot on G5's, and we are working on re-building another tree, which we can push out soon. Sleep support for the G4 iBook's and Powerbooks isn't implemented upstream yet, but there are testing kernels available in RPM form To install the release, you need boot.iso from the os/images/ directory (use mac/pseries appropriately) as well as at least CD1 (disc 1 is not blessed). When booting the boot.iso CD, hold down the 'C' key, and use the "linux askmethod" option. Other methods of installation are located at: http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html We have a mailing list for further discussion at: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ppc And if you IRC, come join us on irc.freenode.net, at #fedora-ppc. As always, if there are bugs, file them at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ under the 'powerpc' platform. We have a tracker bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=121179 Lastly, this release would not have been possible without the tireless contributions from Paul Nasrat, David Woodhouse, and Seth Vidal (who hosts the site!) and the numerous testers who hung out at #fedora-ppc Happy PPC-ing! -- Colin Charles, byte(a)aeon.com.my http://www.bytebot.net/ "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi

i815 graphics
by Russell Coker 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

I've just got a couple of new (to me) Compaq P3-800 machines with i815 graphics on the motherboard. When I try installing FC3 as well as the usual problem of every second attempt crashing the machine when it enters graphics mode I have another problem. At the stage of getting to selecting packages the screen does not update. The dialog box "Reading Package Information..." remains on the screen, and then when I move the mouse cursor it changes the background color of "Install Default Software Packages" and "Customize Software Packages to be Installed" radio button text and thus causes them to appear (but the "Reading Package Information..." dialog is still on screen). If I continue then subsequent screens have the same problem and a graphical install is not feasible (and I imagine that if I did complete the install I would not be able to use X due to the same bug). Anyone else seen similar bugs? -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
