X.Org X11 6.8.2rc2 (6.8.1.902) is now available for testing in rawhide
by Mike A. Harris 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

X.Org X11 6.8.2rc2 (6.8.1.902) was released yesterday, and is now available for testing for Fedora Core users in rawhide. This is the second release candidate of what will become 6.8.2 in the coming weeks. The 6.8.x series is a stable bugfix only series which fixes bugs in 6.8.1 and contains no major new features. If you have had any problems with 6.8.1 as shipped in Fedora Core 3, or 6.7.0 as shipped in Fedora Core 2, please upgrade to 6.8.1.902 in rawhide and test it well to see if the problems you may have experienced have been fixed now. Please close any open bug reports in both Red Hat and X.Org bugzilla if you have filed a bug against X.Org and it is no longer present in the new RC2 rpms. Fedora Core 3 and rawhide users are both encouraged to do this, as we will be releasing 6.8.2 as an update for FC3 once it is finalized. Additionally, if you experience any regressions or other new problems that did not occur in 6.8.1 or earlier, please report these problems directly to X.Org, via the X.Org bugzilla at freedesktop.org: http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. This will ensure that all X.Org developers have a chance to see the bug report and possibly develop a solution for the final 6.8.2 release. Thanks in advance for testing. -- Mike A.

by shrek-m＠gmx.de 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

hi, you should remove the last dovecot update immediately. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/dove… here it is often reproducable, squirrelmail - dovecot sometimes you can see a new "sentmail"-box delete it with squirrelmail, dovecot/squirrelmail has no acces to INBOX mail, mail-f, ... works ok downgrade to # rpm -q dovecot dovecot-0.99.11-1.FC3.4 FC3 cd#3 solve all the problems bugzilla will follow -- shrek-m

latest kernels and ndiswrapper
by Alexandre Strube 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hello list, I've been trying to use a wireless card (00:08.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01) - with isl3886 firmware). The prism54's guy Sebastien told me this firmware is still not supported at all but with ndiswrapper. As ndiswrapper wiki says at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Distributions , "Recent 2.6 kernels have an option to enable/disable 4k stack size. However, Fedora kernels disable this option altogether and use a 4K stack size, which is not enough for some windows drivers. If you are running a Fedora 2.6 kernel and your machine freezes after running <tt>modprobe ndiswrapper</tt> as described in the [Installation] page, you are probably using a driver that requires a stack sizegreater than 4K. Try installing the 16K stack kernel update fo Linuxant" But I don't even get to that. I can create both userspace utilities and kernel module for recent kernels. But all of those says to me: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.724_FC3/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) In dmesg, I have ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol task_nice This is happening with latest kernels. In fact, every FC3/rawhide kernel I tested have this issue. I've been able to use it with previous versions of fedora though. Is this a kernel, a fedora kernel, or a ndiswrapper issue?

Hardware upgrade & FC3?
by Arangel Angov 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

I have FC3 installed at the moment on a lucky star KT100 motherboard, with 512SD RAM and AMD Athlon 1.4GHz proccessor. I just got a good deal on a brand new Soltek motherboard, 512 DDR RAM and AMD Athlon 2.4GHz processor. My question is, how will fedora handle this hardware upgrade, first of all will it boot? The HDD an all other other hardware will remain as they are. I just don't want to try it before I ask someone.. don't want to do a new install if not nessecary. Thanks in advance.

Firefox inconsistency "bug"
by Cream 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

I have noticed a annoying thing about Firefox in FC3. If you want to change your connection settings its Edit => Preferences => General in Firefox for windows, its under Tools => Options => General in Thunderbird for windows its under Tools => Options => Advanced in Thunderbird for FC3 its under Tools => Options => Advanced Why not move the Preferences item from Edit to Tools and call it Options? (i dont know if this is in FC3 only or a general thing with Firefox for linux)

If you have KLaptop in your tray, this might be provoking that > behaviour. Just a wild thought. That might explain random failures, but I'd find it hard to believe that it would cause failures synchronized to the screen blanking. But, I will try to check out that lead.

Redhat, not participating in Tsunami relief.
by Joel Juliano 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

This were just my observation, I tried a Google site search on tsunami aid relief on Redhat, and blogs.redhat.com. And also I tried Oracle, I could not see any pages about tsunami aid. I know it's just a volunteer participation, this is not a force to make contributions or aid. It's just... SCO, Apple and Microsoft have one in their website.

Hi, Following a reboot/powerup before starting doom3 or unreal; I have to modify the permissions on the following files: ================================================================ [root@lion ~]# ls -l /dev/nvid* crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Jan 15 23:41 /dev/nvidia crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 Nov 7 19:05 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Nov 7 19:05 /dev/nvidiactl ================================================================ Does anyone know the trick to make this stick? Following a reboot I must execute: chmod o+rw /dev/nvid* I am using "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run" Thanks, Ernesto
