* gnome-vfs , had some users that really would rather use GUI
applications
(Nautilus) to reach a kerberized ftp server.
Which btw reminds me, I rewrote gnome-kerberos a while ago, only used
by local users here yet, but it has among other things a systray icon
showing the status of your kerberos ticket, screenshot:

Something for Fedora ?

A few issues
by Robert Trembath
Morning everyone,
In Fedora Core Test 3, I am still experienced a few problems with
various hardware, particularly xorg. The default config remarks out
screen refresh rates and only makes 800x600 and 640x480 available. Also
adding nvidia drivers that nvidia states supports 2.6.x kernels kills
the kernel. I get a message while compiling the module that the kernel
has been tainted and the system becones unusable. Also in system with
builtin Intel 845 Video chipsets where it has been disabled in the bios,
and a new AGP or PCI card has been added, I can manually configure X11
for the new card and complete the install, but when rebooting after
installation, I get a kernel panic and the system is unusable.
The workaround for the PCMCIA problem is also still problematic compared
to Fedora Core 1 where PCMCIA works very well. Thanks to those who
pointed me to to the workaround. Curious why this problem still exists
since it was originally found in test 1 and has been noted for some time
as a bug. Not even the workaround has ended up in a release. Just curious!
Test systems
1) Dell Lattitude C840 Laptop w/P4 2.0gHz, 512 MB RAM, 20GB HD, Nvidia
Geforce4 w/32MB, 1600x1200 display.
2) iWill XP4 P4 1.8gHz Box, 256MB RAM, 40GB HD, integrated Intel 845
Video and i810 audio, and an Nvidia Geforce2 64MB PCI Video Card.

fedora 1.92, tclx-8.3.5-2 bug?
by Jean-Luc Fontaine
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
$ tclsh
% package require Tclx
Can't find tclx.tcl in the following directories:
~ /usr/lib/tclX8.3
~ /usr/lib/tclX8.3
~ /usr/lib/tclX8.3
~ /tclX8.3/tcl/bin
~ /tclX8.3/tcl/bin
This probably means that TclX wasn't installed properly.
Note: this is using my own Tcl 8.4.6 shell, but I suspect it also
happens with the tcl rpm in the 1.92 distribution.

Self Introduction : Mark A. Fonnemann
by Mark Fonnemann
Hello-
1. Mark Alan Fonnemann
2. Chestnut Hill, MA, USA
3. Recently received my Master's in Mathematics. Looking for full-time
employment currently. do you have a job available for me??? :-)
4. Boston College, Computer Science, B.A.; Mathematics, M.A.
5. I'd like to see ghex packaged on a more regular basis i.e. every new source
release, I plan on packaging shortly after. It has been included in the past in
fedora.us but the package available is very old (2.4.*) where as (stable 2.5.*
and 2.6.0) has been available for some time.
6. I've been doing testing and filing bugs for Fedora Core 2 (especially
firewire). I've been around on fedora-test-list either finding firewire bugs or
asking stupid questions. ;-) i'm good for that. :-)
I spend most of my time programming in C, VB, and Java. Hope to find a
position doing just that in the near future. I've also been known to be
interested in emulation, bison generated grammars, and (f)lexical analysis
along with a bunch of other theoretical computer science problems.
Favorite computer book is (obviously) K&R C with Stevens' Unix Network
Programming a close second. Redhat user since RHL4... Fedora/Redhat has come a
long way since then!!
7. i'm new to GPG. hopefully, i did this right!

CD ripping is broken on USB drives
by Jurgen Botz
As best I can tell this isn't unique to me... but if anyone /can/
use cdparanoia or grip on a USB CD drive with kernel 327 or later,
please let us know.
The underlying cause, as I've reported before, seems to be that the
sg driver currently does not work with USB storage devices. It worked
in 305, it doesn't in 327 onward (I don't have any kernels from in
between those available). The symptom is that sg doesn't even see
the devices and doesn't report them when you load it.
Pardon the cross-posting, but I've reported this in bugzilla and on
the devel list before and there hasn't been any ack of this problem,
which I think it pretty critical... I know arjanv thinks sg should
die, but while some of its uses may be marginal, CD ripping is not...
I mean, is there anyone who /doesn't/ rip their audio CDs these days?
It would be pretty bad if FC2 couldn't rip on USB drives.

rawhide custom compose syntax?
by Warren Togami
#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime
./genhdlist --productpath Fedora /home/stage/x86_64
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder
/home/stage/x86_64 x86_64 Fedora > /home/stage/x86_64/pkgorder.txt
./buildinstall --pkgorder /home/stage/x86_64/pkgorder.txt --version 1.93
--product "Fedora Core" --release yarrow --prodpath Fedora
/home/stage/x86_64
I have been using the above syntax suggested by Justin Forbes in order
to create my own modified rawhide trees while testing Anaconda. It
seems to create a working net installable tree, but the pkgorder is
always messed up so the resulting installed system is unusable. Anyone
know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Warren

cup version drop "v"
by Leonard den Ottolander
Hi,
The use of a starting letter in the version of cup and cup-devel is
inconsistent with any other package in the distribution. This
exception is a pita when using scripts to sort rpms by version.
Could we please restrict letters in the version and release to be
positioned after one or more numbers?
Please change "cup-v10k-13" to "cup-10k-13".
See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122865
Leonard.
