Can you guve me some dummy-leve instructions on how to
do this? Essentially, I can now *read* the text in the error dialogs,
but since I have neither desktop icons, nor the panel, I can't
(read: don't know how to) access a console prompt. TKseti and
licq load, because they are in my startup sessions...
Other than that, I would have to read each error message and
write them down on paper, then login to KDE to post further info
on this. N.B. The nVidia drivers are now installed, and I have almost
all updates from rawhide installed. At the very least, the important
ones like glibc, gnome-panel, and nautilus are installed....
Thanks,
Elton

iptables & masquerading...

I just upgraded from a pre 8 beta to the current beta and it looks like
masquerading is borked...

Is this a known issue with the stock kernel, am I doing something wrong or
what?

Re: GPG Signatures Not Found...

An earlier thread had implied the severn-updates channel rpms were
rawhide ones; hence my conclusion. Importing the key _did_ actually
solve the problem, so that's great. If it becomes an FAQ (unlikely), I
should probably file a (very-low priority) RFE for the up2date GUI to
distinguish between a lack of GPG signature and the presence of a
signature that could not be verified (rpm -K foo.rpm does this well and
says "MISSING KEYS").
Thanks for the clarification about what's normal with RHN. Are the
severn-updates's rpms indeed different from Rawhide's RPMs?

problems with up2date and rpm
by Alexander Volovics
After downloading and installing the new SSL certificate I
attemted to update severn and encountered the following problems:
1) up2date listed the packages and then asked if I wanted to install
a new up2date (up2date-3.9.19-2). I said yes and up2date downloaded
and installed this up2date and the complementary up2date-gnome.
Then up2date came with the message that it would 'restart'.
It did not restart!
2) I restarted up2date myself and it downloaded all the necessary hdr's
and rpm's (337!).
However it did not seem able to install them.
Install started but then it 'just sat there' without installing
anything!
3) I then tried to install by hand using 'rpm -Fvh' (because the new
up2date was already installed and in the the /var/spool/up2date
directory.
'rpm -Fvh' complained about 5 missing dependencies (tzdata, ..., etc)
and stopped. As all the packages complained about were in the
/var/spool/up2date directory I didn't try to solve this.
4) I then tried 'rpm -Uvh'. This worked OK up to xterm-179-4.1 which
it didn't install (I knew about this problem and the solution but I
had forgotten about it) and yelp-2.3.6-2 which it did install after

Hmm..I think you just offended me. I like gcombust of xcdroast...are you
calling me a less technically inclinded user? Wait, no don't answer
that...my fragile ego probably couldn't stand the truth.
But seriously...if we are going to open this can of worms up and ask the
question what are the 2 best cd-burning apps rhl should be shipping as
core distro pieces...i don't know if I'd put gcombust in that elite
group. I like it..it works for me...but i think I've seen more
'technically less inclined users' like seth, drool over k3b. I've even
heard k3b compared favorable to windows cdburning apps like nero.
