mc - B/W in su - environment using gnome-terminal - Error mesage
by Jim Cornette 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

I noticed that running mc in a root terminal su- not su without the - causes mc to be displayed in b/w. I don't see this behavior in a regular user either. Running mc in a normal screen shell is displayed in color. I believe mutt and other programs do the same thing. running setup displays in color. Is anyone else seeing something like this? * I guess no one is having the b/w problem with mc and mutt through gnome-terminal after su - to root then starting mc. Additionally, I get this output within the gnome-terminal. # mc subshell.c: couldn't open master side of pty pty_open_master: No such file or directory Oh well! Is this a bug more apt to be related to mc and mutt, gnome-terminal or some type of lone configuration on my end. I did not puroposefully change any of the default configuration files. Thanks! Jim

upgrade to latest success except perl
by Harry Putnam 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

I've taken my update list in bites of 5-7 pkgs and gotten everything updated. The only outstanding dep problem seems to be the stray dependancy in vim-enhanced: (From `yum upgrade perl') debug dep: vim-enhanced req /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi - None - 0 Cannot find a resolution attempting update out of loop on vim-enhanced Is this just a basic typo in the build of vim-enhanced. Can it be fixed by a simple edit in spec file?

Still got yum probs on fc3t1 + Evolution 2 beta
by Paul F. Johnson 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

Hi, The gtkhtml3/libgtkhtml3 problem is still in rawhide as is the perl problem. Any ideas when these will be resolved? There was talk of the first Ev. 2 beta coming available at the back end of last week. Sorry to be jumping the gun here, but has it materialised? TTFN Paul (looking forward to updating) -- "Look.

startx vs init 5
by Dwaine Castle 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

If use init 5 as root to start the GUI the console is error free. If I execute startx as either root or an ordinary user the console is littered with error messages mostly xorg config errors and python script errors. I saw this in FC2 also. As an experiment I ran all the scripts in the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d and then ran startx. The error messages were still there. What else does the init 5 command do that might set up the environment to eliminate the errors? And, shouldn't startx use this environment? Thank you. Dwaine

status of USB coldplug? (hotplug for always-plugged-in device)
by John Reiser 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

What is going on with USB "coldplug"? A device such as a USB scanner does not have a service dedicated to managing it (like a USB printer usually has CUPS, for instance), but the scanner often is never unplugged, so the hotplug machinery never deals with it to identify the correct device name, load kernel modules, or to re-assign ownership or permissions in order to facilitate practical usability. The result is that configuring and using such a scanner often is cumbersome and frustrating. It would be nice for kudzu/hotplug/usb.agent/whatever to cooperate enough so that this not-uncommon case "just works". --

GPG signatures
by Mark Haney 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

When I'm running up2date on FC3T1 I'm getting the kernels but it says there is no GPG signature on them. Is this correct? Or am I missing something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alea iacta est. Mark Haney Network Administrator Interact Public Safety Systems

FC3T1 works nicely but:
by Jason Dravet 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

FC3T1 seems stable for me. Kernel is 2.6.7-1.494. The system is mostly up-to-date as of 7-22 (no glibc-238 stuff). Now for the few issues I have: There still is no way to edit the gnome menus. I am stuck using dial-up. I can connect to my ISP once, then I have to reboot to connect again. To connect to to my ISP I do /etc/ppp/ppp-on. Then I do /etc/ppp/ppp-off when I am done. At this point I cannot reconnect until I reboot. When I try to reconnect I see the following in /var/log/messages: Jul 26 08:54:51 excalibur pppd[3664]: pppd 2.4.2 started by root, uid 0 Jul 26 08:54:51 excalibur pppd[3664]: Removed stale lock on ttyS4 (pid 3279) Jul 26 08:54:51 excalibur kernel: ttyS4: LSR safety check engaged!

Jul 26 08:55:20 excalibur kernel: ttyS4: LSR safety check engaged! Jul 26 08:55:21 excalibur pppd[3680]: Exit. Any ideas on why I cannot connect a second time? I have notice the ncpfs has been deprecated. Why? I need this module. Is there a replacement? And finally how do compile a module? I don't want to have to recompile the whole kernel. I was able to do the following before the upgrade: cp configs/kernel-2.6.7-i686 .config make menuconfig vi Makefile and remove custom from extraversion make modules SUBDIRS=fs/ntfs etc. >From what I have read the SUBDIRS= option has been 'replaced' with O=. So how should I compile my module. I have been to ntfs-sourceforge.net but the only module they had was for the stock kernel that came with FC3T1, but the 494 kernel. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Kooka Scanning Problems with Rawhide
by Dwaine Garden 25 Jul '04

25 Jul '04

I'm running the latest version of rawhide. I've had this problem since the Fedora Core 2 final testing. When I load kooka, the scanner scans just fine. But, there is no output in the output window. Even in preview mode, there is no output from the scanner. The USB scanner does go through it's excerise of scanning the paper and acts normally. I did test out my scanner to see if it was a problem with the libusb. Using xsane, the scanner scans and outputs the image. It seems there is a problem with kooka. I even tried to uninstall the kdegraphics rpm and reinstall. That did not fix the problem. I tried to get any output from running kooka from a terminal session. There was no output from kooka. Running KDE 3.2.2-6 Kernel 2.6.7 (custom compile) kooka 0.42 Has anyone experienced this problem? Dwaine.

grpconv: Out Of Memory
by Janina Sajka 25 Jul '04

25 Jul '04

I'm trying to dip my toe into ldap. So, I've tried using authconfig and checking ldap. After 'next' the system becomes very busy for about 2 minutes. Eventually I see the following in /var/log/messages: kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 31691 (grpconv). and authconf closes. Looking at top during this I see most of my 2 Gb of Ram and 2 Gb of swap used, and about 25% cpu as well. Can anyone shed light on this? Is there a bug here? Or, should this tool run only after some by-hand configuration of ldap/slapd?
