New tcl8.4.15 is released
by Marcela Mašláňová
New stable version of tcl-8.4.15 is available. Are maintainers of
depended packages interested in upgrade on 8.4.15 or will be better to
wait for stable tcl8.5?
If no one interested in 8.4.15 version, I'll wait for stable 8.5.

What TV teletext viewer to choose?
by Dmitry Butskoy
I'm thinking about the adding of some teletext viewer for Fedora (at
least for Gnome).
Most TV cards support teletext capturing, and this feature is demanded
by users.
Besides some very old implementations (gnometv, alevt), which seem
already stopped, I've found two possible variants:
- Enable "mtt" in the "xawtv" package (recently added to Fedora).
But enabling of "mtt" will require Motif...
- Package Zapping TV viewer (http://zapping.sf.net), which has an
advanced teletext viewer (Zapzilla).
But Zapping should be stripped first from any mpeg-patented-etc. stuff...
Any comments?
What is better? Or maybe something else?

LiveCD wiping root partition?
by Michel Salim
I just did a clean install of Fedora 7 from the live CD onto my laptop,
which previously had a Fedora install upgraded from one of the F7 test
releases, partitioned as suggested by anaconda (LVM, one swap partition,
everything else under '/')
When reinstalling, I kept the partition layout and specifically told
Anaconda *not* to reformat / (having booted in rescue mode beforehand, and
removing everything but /home). Anaconda gave a warning that the leftover
files might interfere with the installed system, which gave the impression
that those files won't actually be removed during installation.
As it turns out, however, the old contents are completely gone (I'm trying
out different recovery tools now to see if I could rescue some of the data).
It's as if the live CD simply used dd to transfer the install image to the
hard drive (in which case, how does it actually handle different partition
layouts, e.g. /usr, /var, /home on separate partitions -- does it just move
the files afterwards?)
As it stands it seems that the Live CD is a very dangerous tool, at least as
long as
1) the default behaviour of Anaconda is to put everything under /
2) it does not carry more warnings about what it will do to the / partition
during installation
Could someone let us know how the live CD actually performs its work? It
would aid tremendously in the data recovery part. Would 'dd'-ing the entire
partition to an external drive, and mounting it on a Windows computer (most
recovery tools are unfortunately for that platform) preserve all the data
required? I'm assuming that the new installation overwrote the same parts of
the disk that was used to hold the OS in the previous install.
Thanks,

No networking since July 28! Only w/ Windows
by sean darcy
Using rawhide as of July 28.
All of a sudden, my ethernet won't come up. No link lights. But this is
dual-boot machine, and networking works if I boot up Windows XP.
I've got a Realtek integrated card, and the kernel finds it:
lspci -vv
..............
02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

But no link light comes on at the linux machine, or at the router.

Windows gets the dhcp address from the router. Fedora times out. I've tried
setting Fedora to a static address, but then I still can't ping anything,
including the router. OTOH, fedora gives no error about ifup'ing eth0 with a
static address.
Completely puzzled. Don't know where or whether to file a bug report.

Differences in packages installed in mock i386 vs x86_64
by Orion Poplawski
The following packages are installed in my x86_64 development mock root
by default but not in i386 (as part of the "update" step):
audit-libs-python
curl
graphviz
libgfortran
libselinux-python
libtiff
libtiff-devel
mesa-libGLU
mesa-libGLU-devel
mesa-libOSMesa
mesa-libOSMesa-devel
openmpi
openmpi-devel
openmpi-libs
policycoreutils
qt4
qt4-devel
qt4-x11
xmlrpc-c
Can anyone else confirm this?
This is with mock 0.7.2-1.fc7 and yum-3.2.1-1.fc7 on x86_64

Fedora 8 Test 1 slipping
by Jesse Keating
Due to an ongoing issue with booting many Dells (and some Toshiba)
systems via CD, we've had to delay the release of Test1. The good news
is that we've found a solution and a new kernel is building in koji as
I type this. The bad news is that there is not enough time to get the
output of that build and spin it into a set of trees for release on
Thursday. As such, we're slipping the release to Tuesday of next
week, August 7.
This gives us time to consume the kernel build and generate a release
candidate tree early tomorrow, and spend all day, and all of Thursday
beating on it for real blocker issues. Friday morning is our Go/No Go
point. If all things are Go, we'll be handing it off to mirrors and
giving them the weekend and Monday to sync up the release. If we're No
Go, we will determine then a new release date.
All the gory details can be found at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/8/Test1TreeTesting
Cheers!

Poor SCSI performance for rawhide kernels
by Joachim Frieben
While debugging an issue with the aic7xxx driver, I noticed that SCSI performance is quite poor for the current development kernel compared to release kernels.
For a U160 disk attached to a 2940UW controller, FAST-20 mode [which, btw, has to be forced manually, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=171282] delivers more than 28 MB/s [hdparm -t /dev/sda] for the latest F7 update kernel 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 [compared to the nominal rate of 40 MB/s] whereas it drops by almost 30% to about 20 MB/s for rawhide kernel 2.6.23-0.49.rc1.git3.fc8 which is barely more than in FAST-10 mode. It this difference of the order one would expect?
