so then, what is the update process for FC2 test1?
by Eric Wilson 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

OK, I've always been fairly conservative when it comes to testing new releases, but I'm dieing to try the 2.6 kernel, so I'm new to this test process. So, I've pulled down FC 2 test 1, and I'm having the same problems everyone else is. Too, up2date fails in the same manner listed in the lists. I want to think I've been a good steward and a fairly cluey admin. I've looked at the mailing lists and what docs I could find. I've seen several threads about up2date and whether or not it should be used on FC2 test 1, but I don't recall anything definitive. I don't really have a clear picture of the process for updating these test1 packages with their fixes. Can someone point me to the doc for it? Cheers; E! ----------------- Eric Wilson

Upgraded to FC2T1
by Freddy 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

I upgraded from fedora core 1 to core 2 test 2 and so for things have been going ok. The first problem I hit though was, it would not start anaconda with my cisco aironet 350 inserted (this is a laptop). Taking it out allowed me to do the upgrade, which took about 3 hours... Is that normal? The update removed the kernels that came with core 1, but left me my custom compiled kernel, which still boots up fine, except it doesn't start my pcmcia. With the 2.6.1-1.65 kernel that came with it, nothing worked, except 3d, which I was impressed with. I have a Dell Latitude C400 which I am doing this on, and so far so good, core 2 looks pretty cool. I'm trying to update with up2date right now, but it seems to have frozen on "Fetching rpm header: ORBit-devel-0.5.17-11.4" but anyway, it's looking good. I'll try to get everything else to work now... _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Fedora Bug Day Tomorrow: Feb 25th 2004: Eat bugs before the bugs eat you
by Jef Spaleta 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

What: Fedora Bug Day: making bugzilla cry uncle Tomorrow is a general effort to triage Fedora Core bugs, I'm sure there are some bugs against the fc2 test release that can use a group hug from community triaging, a hug or a baseball bat in the form of a well crafted patch. Interested in helping out trying to close bug reports out or marking them up, show up on the #fedora-bugs irc channel tomorrow, and get you feet wet in the triage discussions, And if wading into Fedora Core's bugzilla looking for bugreports to try to help close, isn't you cup of tea, you might find helping with the fedora.us addon package QA process is something you want to start getting involved in. 330+ packages waiting for peer review in the QA que ( http://www.fedora.us/QA ). If you are interested in helping out with that fedora.us QA effort, but don't really know how to get started, pick a package in that list you like, and drop in on the irc channel and hopefully someone an find some time to answer your questions about how you go about helping out with QA. I'm feeling bad about not having enough time to be around last week, so I have deliberately broken the equipment I'm responsible for at work, so that I can have enough time tomorrow to shepherd the volunteers for a Fedora Bug Day. Well, i didn't really deliberately break the equipment. It's sort of their fault for tying me to my desk with a critical high voltage power cable not expecting me to chew through it to get to the coffee machine. Anyways... When: Feb 25th, starting at 14:00 UTC (09:00 EST), Where: #fedora-bugs channel on freenode irc network Who: Pretty much everyone. If you have a little time to spare, and want to help make it easier for the developers by helping organize the untamed sea of bugreports in bugzilla, then triage just might be for you. You don't need to code(though if you can, patch submissions are always welcome), you just need a web browser and an account at bugzilla.redhat. com. An irc client or email client would help too...since you probably want to try to communicate to the other triagers either on irc on the fedora-bugs channel at freenode, or in the mailinglist at duke. https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/fedora-triage-list/ Huh: No Clue What I'm talking about when I say the phrase Fedora Triage? Take a quick look at the fedora-triage-list archives: https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/fedora-triage-list/ These messages should hopefully tell you what its all about in more detail: http://tinyurl.com/ywma3 - Summary of my vision for Fedora Triage http://tinyurl.com/23alw - My short term goals and long term plan -jef"tungsten splinters under your finger nails, are not as bad you might think"spaleta

system-config-httpd doesn't work (bugzilla #116772)
by G.Wolfe Woodbury 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

I reported previously that system-config-httpd didn't seem to be working. I did a fresh install from a development mirror and the problem is still there. An examination of the "messages" log shows that the consolehelper is still trying to access "redhat-config-http" instead of "system-config-httpd" when running. Someone overlooked something simple in the configuration tables for console helper is what it looks like. -- Gregory G.

Wierdness with Internet
by Eric Ebert 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

I'm currently running a box with Fedora Core 2 Test 1 on it. I have something that is very odd going on when I'm surfing the web. When I try to get to certain web sites (i.e. www.music123.com or www.riemans.com) they always time out. However, when I go to these sites on my laptop running windows XP they work fine. The really strange part is that my linux box is doing IP Masquerade for my XP laptop. Anyone have any thoughts on this because I haven't gotten beyond the fact that it is strange.

RPM update to 86_64
by David McCormick 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

I have seen several messages that say to get 32 bit programs to work on 64 bit to recompile the RPM's. I can't find where to look for the information on how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also has any one gotten Netscape to work on 64 bit? It gave me an error that it needed a lib that was not on the disc's. David McCormick

I've been trying to mount windows NTFS shares on FC2 in original test 1 Kernel and with the newest one , 2.6.3-1.100 and the error I get in shell and in webmin is as follows: ERROR: smbfs file system not supported by kernel Please refer to smbmnt (8) manual page smbmnt failes 255 I can stil create shares that are seen from windows machines. I was able to create and link to shares form Linux to windows via webmin in all previous linux'es I've used namely RH8, RH9, FC1 - all tests and final. Am I missing something? is that kernel feature off due to testing or ...? TIA -- ____________________________________________________ Bart Kalita MCP www.bart-domain.com www.astradine.no-ip.org
