korean chracters on Severn
by Brian Lee 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi! I installed Severn (beta 2) and found follow several bugs: - The Korean chracters are broken in some application like ami, gimp. (screen: http://www.senux.com/tmp/severn/ami_broken_korean.png http://www.senux.com/tmp/severn/gimp_broken_korean.png) - The default font in hanterm is not pretty. And some dirty dots are left at scrolling in hanterm. I think this is a critical one for hanterm users. - Mouse is not working well in configuration box in the first starup of installing RH. My mouse is 2 button one with wheel. Mouse does not move where I moved. But mouse working well after the startup configuration section. - I think the hanterm icon should be place in ``system tool'' from start button. (It is in additional system tool now.) Thank you for the opened software, RH Linux. -- ____ |o | i / Brian Lee <c2VudXhAc2VudXguY29t> #######|< Website http://www.senux.com/en/ (x-x-x-x) \ My public GnuPG key: 0x46C763A3

Include MPlayer in beta?
by Steven Haigh 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I'm just compiling up Mplayer available from http://www.mplayerhq.hu - according to the documentation, it should be a killer for playback of all media types in *nix... What are the chances of this replacing kaboodle or noatun as a default media player? Surely having out of the box support for most media file types in existance would be awesome! -- Signed, Steven Haigh http://wireless.org.au (Visit https://wireless.org.au to install our Root Certificate.)

A lot of people seem to take a very naive position on how to get from here to a viable linux desktop. If only we can reimplement existing technologies, is what I hear when I see people clamoring for mplayer to be in the distro. A lot of people seem to think reimplementing the ability to access these proprietary technologies is the shortcut to desktop domination. As soon as we get one layer of technology reversed engineered they'll just patent another layer of technology, and possibly a strongly layer of legal protections to keep us out. Without an alternative in place...its a a big treadmill of wasted development effort tryng to keep up. I was trying to be subtle with my nod to xiph. No point in repeating my rant on this issue from the last beta phase, but it's so hard to resist. I firmly believe its critically important that we...we as in userbase, and not just the developers...make it a point to encourage the adoption of open standards even in multimedia codecs. Having quicktime and windows media playing on our linux desktop in the short term might seem like a victory and a step towards mainstream linux desktops in the home. But I see it as long term defeat towards a viable open source desktop alternative. Open source solutions can not base core functionality on proprietary technology. Hell even MS and Apple don't rely on technology they can not control, they each have their own competing content formats. It would make little sense for MS to rely on quicktime for its multimedia...just as it would make little since for any open source product to rely on windows media technology to provide the multimedia functionality...technology essentially out of control of the open source development community. The real solution is putting effort behind what xiph is doing with its ogg framework. So that we can give the content producers a viable open alternative to produce content in. I'd much rather see the effort being burned now to get access to the 'most common' proprietary formats, being used to move the ogg theora effort out of alpha and into beta. I wish typical linux desktop users, understood this need a little better than they seem to. -jef

Sound problem on Severn
by Thiago Vinhas de Moraes 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi. I have Severn with all the recent rawhide channel updates, but got a problem with Sound and KDE's Arts. Here is what happens. Before I get inside KDE, the sound works fine, and I can test the soundcard using eox to play songs, or cat /etc/dsp. After I log in KDE, and the Arts server runs, I can't use any other application that uses sound. If I give a cat /dev/dsp it gives a "Resource Busy" response. If I try to run xmms or any other sound player, the same problem. Does anyone has a way to fix this? Regards, Thiago

xcdroast with 2.6 kernel
by Pavel Rosenboim 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm using xcdroast and 2.6.0 test3 and test4 kernels. In this setup xcdroast always says that CD has an audio track, even when I want to copy a data CD. This does not happen with 2.4 kernels. What cause this problem? Gnometoaster detects the track type correctly with 2.6 kernels.

Re: Evolution not displaying attachments when sending message?

I don't have access to my beta install right now...but as a point of comparison with the Felipe's hacked up ximian install. I'm running a hacked up rhl9 box with some selected applications recompiled from srpms from rawhide....including evolution. My recompiled rawhide evolution srpm on rhl9 isn't having a problem with attachments either: libgnomeui-2.2.0.1-5 (from rhl9) redhat-artwork-0.81-1 (from rawhide) evolution-1.4.4-4 (recompiled locally from rawhide srpm) -jef

problems with iso's from bittorrent link
by Justin Georgeson 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

I downloaded the iso's using BitTorrent with the links listed on rhl.redhat.com. When trying to install off the CD's created with the iso's, I'm given an error that 'everything references nptl-devel which is missing' on the 3rd console. After that I tried using the installer's media checking tool, and it seemed to hang at 97%. I guess I should have checked the the md5sums before burning. Anyway, just wanted to check if anyone else was having trouble. I can't image bad imagines would have stayed up this long, so I'm grabbing them a second time, again with BitTorrent, since it's so much faster.

Yum + Severn + Rawhide ?

Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade evolution using yum and I keep getting this message... '...package evolution needs libgal-2.0.so.3 (not provided)' This is my yum.conf...

I've been reading the yum and yum.conf man pages and I don't see any input into this problem. Mark

rawhide gpg key, rawhide-release package.
by Féliciano Matias 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

The new key "Red Hat, Inc. automated build signing key (2003) <rawhide(a)redhat.com>" is only available from http://rhn.redhat.com/ (package redhat-release, channel "severn update"). This key is not available from rawhide nor from http://www.keyserver.net/ . Can you add all RedHat keys in rawhide-release (like in redhat-release-9.0.93-4). If you put the keys in redhat-release and rawhide-release, perhaps you should remove the keys from the rpm package. btw, severn update channel in rhn have the same packages than rawhide except for redhat/rawhide-release package. Perhaps rawhide-release package could be replaced by redhat-release in rawhide. When RH10 will be released with redhat-release-10 package, redhat-release in rawhide could jump to 10.0.93. -- Féliciano Matias <feliciano.matias(a)free.fr>
