Re: yum seems to have forgotten what an update is
by t l
The header.info files on download (and mirrors) are not being
updated, so yum thinks there is nothing new to update....
(last updated on 4-Aug).
We can hope that someone is fixing the build/mirroring process.

Hi,
Any clues on this?
When I do yum update, it is failing to get anything new from either of
the two mirrors I'm using or the main fedora dev site.
My last big update was on Wednesday and since then, neither my desktop
box or this laptop has seen anything new.
Has something been hosed on these boxes or is it something else?
TTFN

Unsatisfied PHP dependency on libcurl.so.2
by Leonard den Ottolander
Hi,
Just did an installation of FC3t1 and after downloading all updates I
tried to do an update. Apart from having to add 1 or 2 packages to
satisfy newly emerged dependencies (at least howl) The update failed
because latest php requires libcurl.so.2. However, latest curl
(7.12.0-2) provides libcurl.so.3 which doesn't satisfy latest PHP
(4.3.8-3). Why the version change in libcurl?

Testing results of new added Cornerstone Colour 50/115sf Monitor - ReOpened bug #124814
by Dwaine Garden
The monitor has been added to rawhide, so I decided to test it out. I
had to reopen the bug 124814, because there was one line added to the
xorg.conf that cause X to crash when loading.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Cornerstone Color 50/115sf"
HorizSync 31.0 - 115.0
HorizSync 50.0 - 160.0
VertRefresh 1.0 - 1.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Line "VertRefresh 1.0 - 1.0" caused the problem. After removing the
line, X loaded just fine. The 1.0-1.0 looks wrong.
I'm just trying to contribute some testing back to the community. 8*)

You can create a boot disk/boot cd and launch the installer from that. If you
have another RedHat install CD that can boot correctly then you can use that by
taking out the CD when you get to the menu and replacing it with the CD1 you
actually want to install from (this is a good trick with some of the early
Fedora releases that don't work in older CD drives).

boot.iso with a different kernel?
by Ken Snider
Here's a quick question, hopefully someone can point me at a reference (or
where to start), google has been unhelpful.
I have a system I have to bring up using a custom kernel, is it possible to
boot from said custom kernel in a way that allows me to run the FC2/3T1 installer?
In essence, the real question is, is there a way to use a kernel *other* than
the installation media kernel/boot.iso kernel to launch the fedora installer?
I can replace the *installed* kernel at runtime via kickstart, it's just the
installer boot kernel that's an issue.
Thanks!

"yum list updates" error on (apparently) first time for this
by Robert P. J. Day
my aforementioned little dell latitude running FC3t1 has apparently
had yum updates disabled all this time, so i turned it on and did my
first "yum list updates", with the absolutely original /etc/yum.conf
file that came with the OS.
and got:
Damaged or Bad header.info from Fedora Core 2.90 - Development Tree
...
i'm just about to check bugzilla for this. is this a known and
resolved issue?

another TERM gotcha
by Michal Jaegermann
Look into /etc/bashrc
....
# are we an interactive shell?
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
case $TERM in
xterm*)
if .....
.....
You better change that the above to "xterm*|gnome)" or after
'su -' prompts and window titles may be not what you expect. :-)
Obviously does not help when you are logging to a remote without
"adjusting" your TERM variable.
