Migrate stored Mozilla passwords.
by Sam Varshavchik
I can't figure out how to migrate all my stored passwords in Mozilla 1.4, on
FC 1, to another machine, Mozilla 1.6 on FC 2.
Even if I copy all of ~/.mozilla it doesn't work, in fact Mozilla won't
start because the structure of the ~/.mozilla directory has changed.
I had no luck Googling for it. Even if I remove the master password, it
looks like the format of *.s files has changed between 1.4 and 1.6, so
copying over just the *.s files didn't work: hitting 'manage stored
passwords' locks up Mozilla.

CALL FOR TESTING: ttfonts-ja
by Akira TAGOH
Hi,
the testing package of ttfonts-ja is available on
http://people.redhat.com/tagoh/sazanami/
which contains Sazanami fonts so-called Japanese TrueType
font.
I need some feedbacks to replace Kochi Gothic and Kochi
Mincho to Sazanami Gothic and Sazanami Mincho which the
upstream has released. and Kochi fonts won't be
maintained by the upstream anymore.
you can get the testing package against yum or apt. please
add the below for yum.
[sazanami]
name=Sazanami font testing
baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/tagoh/sazanami/
and for apt
rpm http://people.redhat.com/tagoh sazanami sazanami
rpm-src http://people.redhat.com/tagoh sazanami sazanami
Well, kochi-gothic-subst.ttf and kochi-mincho-subst.ttf is
being removed from the testing package. so you will see the
problem unless you modify /etc/fonts/fonts.conf at least.
you can modify it as the following:
sed -e 's/Kochi/Sazanami/g' /etc/fonts/fonts.conf > /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.new \
&& mv /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.old \
&& mv /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.new /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
If you find the applications which doesn't work with those
fonts or any problems on the fonts, please let me know.
Thanks,

could it have something to do with the fact that inside ~/.mozilla/profilename
there exists a randomly generated folder name (ending always in .slt) which
contains the important files?
e.g. i use the "default" profile. so, my bookmarks (bookmarks.html) and
preferences (prefs.js) are stored in "/root/.mozilla/default/gccurl7j.slt". on
a previous installation (before my hard disk failed) they were stored in a
different randomly generated folder (i think it was
"/root/.mozilla/default/sl8kut1k.slt") even though the mozilla version remained
the same for both installs. not a big deal, i admit, but it does require a bit
of care when backing up these two files. unfortunately, i do not know where the
passwd's are stored so i'm only guessing that this could be the problem.
mark. :-)
p.s. i have no idea why mozilla was implemented this way but it's easy to work around.

OOo and fonts
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Since the last update of OOo, the fonts used in OOo seem somewhat
screwed. What program do I need to run to get the fonts working
correctly again? It only seems to be OOo which is affected.

problem booting kernels 456 459
by hab
This is with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mother board with Maxtor drives
hooked to the SATA controller. Your default config with these kernels
causes some type of driver conflict resulting in a Disk hang and failure
to complete bootup. linux-ide list suggested that I don't include the
siimage driver. I tried this but it didn't clear the problem.
I have successfully built and use 2.6.7 bk12 but if I apply your
.config even with siimage removed it still won't boot.
Thanks

still scsi problems - Adaptec - scsi0: Someone reset channel A
by Götz Reinicke
Hi,
I still have big trouble with my Dell Poweredge 1650 and an Adaptec
29160 with an external Hardware 1 TB Raid-box. The linus distri is
Fedora Core R2.
If I try to copy files to or from the raid local or via smb, scp or nfs
the copyprocess stopps for some seconds with a lot of errors in the logs.
I checked all cabels and terminators also the scsi-bios-settings of the
controller.
I tried different kernels from 2.6.5 (original FC2) to 2.6.7-development
single cpu and smp - the problemm is still the same.
Amy ideas??
I cann post the complete error log if this would be of use...

[FC2 x86_64] kernel oops after smbmount

Hi,
when I try the following command:

After the oops, sometimes it happens that I don't have any console anymore and

Should I post this on bugzilla, or did I something stupid? :-)

Arjan's rawhide and people/arjan kernels are built with gcc 3.4
Ah ha.
Could you tell me how to make gcc34 be my default? I will switch to gcc34

USB Mouse not working
by Stan Bubrouski
Hey,
I've got a friend with a Logitech Optical USB mouse that won't work in
the console or in X in FC2. The wierd thing is that it works in the
installer but not once the system is loaded. I've checked and the
correct USB driver is loaded. This is with a default FC2 kernel. I
can't remember the model # of the mouse offhand but I remember that is a
VERY common mouse. I can't figure out why it works in anaconda but not
post-installation.
Can anyone shed some light?
