A modest request
by gslink
FC and the other RH products as well need a way to turn on media check
during install. If there is a bad spot on a disc this can mean trouble.
Disc Druid allows a partition to be short formatted but there is no
switch to allow media check during format. This needs to be added.

Item to include in FC4
by Jim Bevier
I run several systems that have two or more versions of Linux that I
use/test. Is there a way to modify the Fedora installer or add a utility
that will setup grub.conf during install of a 2nd or 3rd OS? Every
distribution seems to setup a Windows boot partition, but none seem to setup
other Linux partitions. Yes/No????

FC4 ISO suggestion
by Gene C.
I just noticed that the binary + SRPMS for FC3 now exceed the size of a dvd
and so the dvd ISO only contains the binary although the binary + SRPMS cdrom
ISOs are still holding to a total of eight.
Since the drives supporting larger dvd sizes are currently available but the
media is relatively expensive, I would like to suggest that, for FC4, a
second dvd ISO be created which just has the SRPMS. This would allow an
individual to cut two dvd disks but would be consistent by having everything
available on those two dvd disks.

Where do you get the fedora extras from?
by Mark Bradbury
Hi All
I see threads on this mailing about what games should be included in
FC4 and responses that say they are included all ready in extras. I
was just wondering where is this FC3 extras? I have looked at
fedora.us but the last entry on the web page seems to be Sept. 19. I
had a look in the
main repository for FC3 extras and its empty. Livna.org's website says
that fedora.us has not yet finished rebuilding their packages even
thou freshrpms, dag and have rebuilt theirs and we are almost 1/4 of
the way though the next release cycle.
I would prefer not to use freshrpm and others as there always seems to
be conflicts with fedora base fedora.us and livna.org.
so basically I'm asking what should I have in my fedora.us-extras.repo
to get these "extras"
many thanks

If there's a game you want to include in Fedora Core, what would that be?
Mine is Monopoly and Scrabble based games.
I really liked Monopoly, I'm addicted to that game. :-)

Yum problems
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Everything now except yum seems to be happy again on my machine.
When I run yum, all I get is this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ?
import yum
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 21, in ?
import rpm
ImportError: /usr/lib/librpm-4.3.so: undefined symbol: rpm_execcon
Any ideas what has borked on this? I have yum 2.1.12-1 installed.

ldconfig + SELinux = symlink slaughter
by Dave Mack
OK, this is getting mildly annoying. With the current Rawhide tree (and
for about the last week) I've been running into a problem when I "yum
update" with SELinux in enforcing mode: the reboot which follows fails
because most of the symlinks to shared libraries in /lib have
evaporated. The culprit is ldconfig, which is being run during the yum
update after library changes.
Reproduce by:
# ls -l /lib/libtermcap.so.2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Dec 11 09:17 /lib/termcap.so.2 ->
libtermcap.so.2.0.8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12952 Jun 15 17:34 /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8
# setenforce 1
# ldconfig
<many lines of complaint about "Input file /lib/<something>.so not found">
# ls -l /lib/libtermcap.so.2*
ls: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
# setenforce 0
# ldconfig
<no errors>
Now everything is back to normal.
Is anyone else able to reproduce this or is it just me? Known bug?

RE: Evolution-connector not connecting
by Jamie Bohr
Fred,
I was finally able to get it to work my self with a patch from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=139134. The calender hangs though. My Exchange mail box is different than my MS login.
I am getting very frustrated and tired of the connector not working out-of-the-box. There are some major issues that need to be resolved, and quick I might add. I may have to swith to a M$ Windows system, which would be too bad, I love the features in Evolution and it is by far a better Mail client.

Running newest vncserver off rawhide I get this error when starting

Fedora Core 3 Test Update: sane-backends-1.0.15-1.4
by Tim Waugh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-538
2004-12-13
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : sane-backends
Version : 1.0.15
Release : 1.4
Summary : Scanner access software.
Description :
Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) is a universal scanner interface. The
SANE application programming interface (API) provides standardized
access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner,
hand-held scanner, video and still cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.). If
they're using SANE, developers can write image-processing applications
without having to think about the peculiarities of individual devices.
SANE also makes it possible to write a device driver once, which can
then be used by any SANE-compliant application. SANE currently
includes drivers for some Epson SCSI scanners, HP ScanJet SCSI
scanners, Microtek SCSI scanners, Mustek SCSI flatbed scanners, PINT
devices, most UMAX SCSI scanners, Connectix QuickCam, and other SANE
devices via network. Note that this package does not enable network
scanning by default. If you wish to enable network scanning, read the
saned(1) manpage. If you'd like to develop SANE modules, you should
also install the sane-backends-devel package.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This is version 1.0.15 of the sane-backends scanner drivers. This package
also aims to resolve the issues concerning device permissions for USB
scanners which are always connected.
Please report successes or failures here:
