libnotify and NetworkManager
by Brian C. Huffman
When I first login NetworkManager is popping up a "Network Disconnected"
dialog box (coutesy of libnotify) which is great except the box shows up
out in the middle of nowhere (somewhere on the left side of my screen
down a little from the menu bar). Once the applet actually loads, it's
on the right side of the screen.
Is this a bug that should be reported?

Re: ps not working as expected
by Ron Yorston
After a reboot with SELinux enabled the system decided to relabel the
filesystems. Now 'ps ax' shows all processes, even for an ordinary user.
'ls -Z' on the stat files still reports SystemLow-SystemHigh for processes
that were previously affected (like the X server).
Very odd.

ps not working as expected
by Ron Yorston
I'm seeing different results if I run 'ps ax' as root and as an ordinary
user. Some processes don't appear in the listing for the ordinary user.
Running under strace shows that ps is failing to open /proc/NNN/stat for
these processes. 'ls -Z' shows that these processes (and only these
processes) have SystemLow-SystemHigh on their stat files. If I run with
selinux=0 ps behaves as expected.
This is an fc5t3 system with all recent updates. Kernel 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5.

Xair - DRM fails
by Ralph angenendt
Hi, not sure if this is the right place:
On FC5test3 with Xair (all updates as of today) DRM fails strangely:
| [ralph@logout ~]$ glxinfo
| name of display: :0.0
| libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
| libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
| display: :0 screen: 0
| direct rendering: No
When "straceing" glxinfo, I see the following:
| stat64("/dev/dri", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=60, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/dev/dri/card0", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(226, 0),
| ...}) = 0
| open("/dev/dri/card0", O_RDWR) = 4
| ioctl(4, DECODER_SET_PICTURE, 0xbf96c3e0) = -1 EACCES (Permission
| denied)
| ioctl(4, DECODER_GET_CAPABILITIES, 0xbf96c3e4) = 0
| ioctl(4, DECODER_GET_CAPABILITIES, 0xbf96c3e4) = 0
| close(4) = 0
| geteuid32() = 500
| stat64("/dev/dri", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=60, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/dev/dri/card1", 0xbf96c200) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
| directory)
| geteuid32() = 500
| stat64("/dev/dri", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=60, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/dev/dri/card2", 0xbf96c200) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
| directory)
| geteuid32() = 500
| stat64("/dev/dri", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=60, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/dev/dri/card3", 0xbf96c200) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
| directory)
[...]
| stat64("/dev/dri", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=60, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/dev/dri/card253", 0xbf96c200) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
| directory)
| geteuid32() = 500
| stat64("/dev/dri", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=60, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/dev/dri/card254", 0xbf96c200) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
| directory)
| write(2, "libGL error: open DRM failed (Op"..., 55) = 55
| write(2, "libGL error: reverting to (slow)"..., 52) = 52
| futex(0x78a5a4, FUTEX_WAKE, 2147483647) = 0
So it seems to open the first card at dri/card0, fails with
DECODER_SET_PICTURE and then tries all other possibly available cards
until it bails out with open DRM failed.
TIA,

Request for testers to confirm nv driver mouse cursor bug
by Mike A. Harris
If you are using Nvidia video hardware with FC5test3 or later, and the
mouse cursor is invisible, or has any visible mouse pointer corruption,
please add a comment to the following bug report to confirm you are
having the same problem, and attach your X server log file as an
uncompressed file attachment:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182517
2 chips have been identified as experiencing this problem so far, so
once people have updated the report with any other chips that have
the problem, I am going to disable hardware cursors on those chips
by default so that things work out of the box in FC5 for as many
nv users as possible.
Once the upstream nv driver maintainer fixes the bugs in the driver,
we'll update and drop the workaround. For those who want to track
the issue in X.Org, the upstream bug is:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3009
Thanks in advance.

fc5t3 gnome power manager crash during yum update
by Skunk Worx
While yum updating fc5t3 I got the kernel grubby crash (known) and also
a popup that the gnome power manager crashed unexpectedly.
When I clicked "inform developers" in the gui, it told me the lists were
out of date and offered to update them.
After updating the lists, another gui came up prompting me to select the
component that crashed.
gnome power manager was not in the list.
[this is from memory, none of it is on my screen now].

Scanning with Epson
by David Fletcher
Just tried plugging my scanner into the fc5t3 machine. Can't get it to do a
thing.
The scanner is an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo, connected to USB.
There is no scanner entry in the graphics menu, and when I run command xsane
nothing happens.
I also installed iscan, which says "Could not send command to scanner. Check
the scanner's status"
The scanner appears in /dev/ as scanner-usbdev1.x
Any ideas for me to try?

firefox i386 RPM should be included on x86_64 iso
by Philippe Rigault
Due to the lack of a 64-bit flash plugin, the only way to browse
flash-enabled sites currently is through the 32-bit version of firefox (unless
there is a way to use the 32-bit plugin with firefox.x86_64, which I think is
not possible).
Therefore, I consider the 32-bit version firefox a must have on the x86_64 iso
files (there is no firefox i386.rpm in the DVD of FC5test3).
I am even recommending the 32-bit version to be the default on x86_64 until a
proper alternative (free flash plugin or 64-bit version distributed by
Macromedia) exists.
Regards.
