x86_64: Some update issues
by Peter Boy 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

I startet to perform an update of an core 3 installation: - My quite old monitor (NEC Multisync LCD 1700nx) still a "unknown monitor" - the upgrade process did not touch the MBR as it was told - upgrade did mostly work: desktop ok, but all the open office icons missing, desktop adopted to the new style / layout / menues - while shutting down after finishing the installation a lot of warning messages: GTK ..... deprecated - xorg seems to be quite slow. After logging in the Gnome splash screen is shown for a unusually long time ( > 1 minute) some more serious problems: - setfont complained about "input file: unrecognized characters at the end of file" (translation of the German message), but no obvious problem arised so far - open office does not start (but crashes silently without any message) Peter

FC4t1 messages log Can't set EGID to user GID
by Dwaine Castle 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

I've had very few problems with FC1 - 3. FC4 has presented me with a challenge. I normally would have not even tried to install the OS with a media check error but what-the-hell. Booting into init 5 won't work, Init 3 seems to work OK, but when I try to change to runlevel 5 things get slow. Top shows a least 4 processes queued in runlevel 5, compared to 0.17 in runlevel 3. I've noticed a message in the message log that I wonder if anybody else is seeing. Fc gdm[2907] Can't set EGID to user GID Last message repeated 59437 Last message repeated 119038 . Millions of times Could this account for the slowness that people are seeing? Is this a PAM or SE problem that I can disable or fix? Thanks. Dwaine

evolution updates killed LDAP
by Shahms King 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

I just finished filing bug #150017, basically after updating to evolution-2.0.4 and evolution-data-server-1.0.4 LDAP addressbooks stopped working. At first, there was an error message about being unable to connect, but after restarting evolution and e-d-s, the message goes away but no results are ever returned from any query. The addressbooks in question were working fine before the upgrade and I had made no configuration changes when they stopped. Running ldapsearch on the command line using the same parameters evolution is configured with returns the expected results. -- Shahms E.

FC4T1 installation summary
by D Sievers 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hello All, Here is my experience with test1 so far. I apologize if there is too MUCH detail, but I've never really installed a test version before so I'm trying to be helpful. Using the 4 CD's, i386 on a Toshiba Satellite 1755 laptop On boot - Skipped mediacheck (in case anyone is curious, I have read of problems) Anaconda (only minor things) - Some icons did not appear until the mouse moved over them, at which point they became visible. If I recall correctly, this was either on the Choose Language or Choose Keyboard Layout screen, or both - After the last package begins to install (this was at-spi), I was prompted to change from CD#4 back to CD#2, which was already installed? - During the "Post-Install Configuration", after the progress bar reached the halfway point, there was about a 2-3 minute pause with no hard disc activity before continuing - The final screen where you are told "Congratulations & Reboot", the text being presented spills off the side of the screen -After clicking reboot, a screen full of GTK deprecation warnings appears on the console before any TERM signals are sent. Once the reboot is done, upon booting into FC, the graphical boot screen tells me "Failed to bring up eth0" - my /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 all look okay - For the first time, during install I chose to "Enable firewall", but I'm not sure how to disable it, or if that should have any effect - Tried the following (Note: I have a Compaq PCMCIA ethernet adapter. Worked fine in FC3.) > cd /etc/init.d > ./pcmcia restart Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[2907]: watching 2 sockets done > ./network start Bringing up loopback interface [OK] Bring up interface eth0 [FAILED] I haven't been able to do anything else (such as test the other patches in devel tree) since I can't yum Any ideas how to fix my ethernet? Thank you, Doug Sievers dsievers(a)users.sourceforge.net

Doug: I had some similar problems on FC3 when I decided to enable the NetworkManager service. If NetworkManager is enabled in Services trying disabling it and then restarting the network. If this doesn't work turn it back on and forget I ever mentioned this. :) Teak --- D Sievers <dsievers(a)users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hello All, > > Here is my experience with test1 so far.

FC4t1 DVD mediacheck broken
by Aaron Kurtz 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

The mediacheck function for the FC4t1 DVD iso does not seem to work. The SHA1 sums match (2e08d86311a291132dc3c1b40fa8383b354daf91) but I can't seem to burn a good DVD. I tried to run mediacheck under vmware with the ISO as the dvd, and it still didn't pass, although I had no problem mediachecking other DVD isos using the same setup. I have not tried the FC4t1 CD isos. -- Aaron Kurtz <a.kurtz(a)hardsun.net> GPG Key ID: ED588CF2

Bad iso image
by John Pearson 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

I have downloaded the dvd iso image for Fedora Core 4, test 1, etc. The sha1sum hash on the completed torrent matches the published spec. The copy of the same images hashes clean on the machine that I am using to burn the image. [using Nero 5.5 under windows XP. All that is available here and now.] I have made 3 dvd copies using different batches of blanks. None of them passes the test. None of them produces a working machine. Although I am able to install both FC2 and FC3 on the machine in question. Is there something else that I can do or need to try? -jpearson

network-browsing not working with firewall active
by Roger Grosswiler 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

i think it must be the same issue as in fc2. With active firewall, you are not able to browse your network. Roger
