The /etc/gdm/Xsession points to the wrong file in this one. It should be ../X11/xinit/Xsession, not ../xinit/Xsession.

Request for testers to confirm nv driver mouse cursor bug
by Mike A. Harris
If you are using Nvidia video hardware with FC5test3 or later, and the
mouse cursor is invisible, or has any visible mouse pointer corruption,
please add a comment to the following bug report to confirm you are
having the same problem, and attach your X server log file as an
uncompressed file attachment:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182517
2 chips have been identified as experiencing this problem so far, so
once people have updated the report with any other chips that have
the problem, I am going to disable hardware cursors on those chips
by default so that things work out of the box in FC5 for as many
nv users as possible.
Once the upstream nv driver maintainer fixes the bugs in the driver,
we'll update and drop the workaround. For those who want to track
the issue in X.Org, the upstream bug is:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3009
Thanks in advance.

td_ta_new returns TD_VERSION?
by Frank Chen
I am using gdbserver to debug a multi-threaded
application on FC3. The call to td_ta_new returns
TD_VERSION in gdbserver (thread-db.c). From gdb 6.4,
the error maps to "version mismatch between
libthread_db and libpthread" Both these libraries come
with FC3. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/tls. But it
didn't help.
Thanks,
Frank

Pup and repos
by Eric Mesa
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I love pup, it certainly runs a lot faster than yumex. Will it also
be able to update packages from other repositories? Also, will
add/remove software recognize other repos defined in /etc/yum.d/ ?
Thanks,

XMMS and Rhythmbox
by Eric Mesa
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I see that with FC5 we finally moved away from calling Rhythmbox
"music player" and XMMS "audio player". I remember trying to install
Rhythmbox when I first had FC in order to check it out because I
didn't know I already had it on my system. Plus the subtle difference
between music player and audio player was a little annoying too. I'm
curious, when I upgrade to FC5 (currently I'm running T3 as a VMWare
player image), will this be changed in my menu to reflect what it is
now being called?
Thanks,

Few issues of fedora test 3
by Leo
Dear all,
I installed fc5test3 from scratch 1 day before official
announcement. And have some issues:
i.
Wastebasket is always empty: I have reported it as a bug. It was
closed due to "Cant reproduce this problem in FC5test3. Closing". But
it is still in my system. Update to the latest development won't
help. Any idea how to fix it or get more debug information?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182087
ii.
Mount reiserfs failed. Any fix?
message from dmesg:

Application developers? What has SELinux policy got to do with application
developers?
The targeted policy "focuses on locking down specific daemons, especially
ones vulnerable to attack or to devastating a system if broken or
compromised". (From the SELinux FAQ on fedora.redhat.com.)
That's a tiny subset of applications.

gnome 2.14 after FC5 released?
by Eric Wood
Since the release dates for gnome 2.14 and FC5 are the same, and the devel
freeze is even earlier, will the gnome 2.14 probably be released as an
update?
I know there was some talk about sliding FC5 just for the sake of gnome 2.14
and it performance benefits. I was just wondering what the latest
concensus was.

iptables problems after kernel 1871
by Gianluca Cecchi
after upgrade to 1871 kernel and iptables 1.3.4-3 I have problems with iptables.
Actually I made a localupdate when 1869 and 1871 were in place. I
didn't notice that yum proposed to deinstall 1869 and reinstall 1871.
I had these messages when overwriting my running kernel:
[root@fedora fedora]# less /tmp/yum.log
