Can't create useable Location icon on F9Beta gnome desktop
by Gerry Tool
I always set up my gnome desktop with several Location icons to make
navigation to special directories easier.
It doesn't work in F9 Beta, although it did in F9 Alpha.
After setup, I click on the icon, and get an error box that says
'Couldn't display "/home/gerry". There is no application installed for
this file type'
for example if I try to set one up for my home directory. (I know,
there is already one of these - this is just an example.)
Can someone verify this?
What to assign a bug report to?
Thanks.

Final step failed on upgrade to F9 beta
by Janina Sajka
I successfully ran an upgrade from x86_64 F-8 (with all package updates) to F-9
beta yesterday on my very recent Lenovo Thinkpad X61. I used telnet with installation iso on /home of the
target system to accomplish the upgrade accessibly. I'll report re
issues of F-9 later. In this email I only want to note that everything
went smoothly ...
UNTIL package installations completed. I never got the "congrats,
Reboot" screen. After package installation reached 100% (2318 packages),
the next screen kept painting, over and over--for hours. It eventually dropped to
an Anaconda error screen. The OK button did successfully reboot the system.
My anacdump.txt is attached--not sure whether attachments are allowed,
though. So please advise if I should send this file differently.

No, it really cannot just be slow. There is something really wrong.
The graphics is corrupted, the top panel half missing and odd bits of
windows appear on screen. I have filed bug 439091

I have put the last few lines before the hang into bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439084
As you say, gathering info is slow. Possibly related to
Alexey Starikovskiy (2):
ACPI: battery: Don't return -EFAIL on broken packages.
Revert "ACPI: EC: Handle IRQ storm on Acer laptops"
in 2.6.25-rc7

Possible dhcp client bug
by Alan
I have been having problems with dhcp connections on wireless not wanting
to connect.
I looked to see if there was a config file for dhclient in etc. I found
one for eth0 but not wlan0. I created a null file (using touch
/etc/dhclient-wlan0.conf) and the problem seems to have gone away.
I don't know if this is a bug because if I try long enough it will
connect... eventually. It could be coincidence that both times since then
everything has connected cleanly.
Is this something worth investigating or am I just going slowly mad?

X86_64 Beta rogue DHCP
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
After entering information for a static IP address on a fresh install
Came up using those settings. On subsequent reboots however,
it is using a dynamic IP , ignoring the correct values that appear
on the system>admin>network menu. A service network restart
does not result in the IP being set to the required value.

Anyone having problems with bluetooth using the development tree updates?
by Jef Spaleta
Okay I had a rawhide box up and running for the past week.
In the last couple of days I've seen some very strange bluetooth issues and
I wanted to see if anyone else other there is having issues.
Yesterday hcitool scan failed to return any devices.
Today,after updates hcitool scan works but the Bluetooth device manager
won't let me connect to my mouse even though
hcitool scan lists it as being available.
Anyone else with an updated development box seeing any problems using the
gnome Bluetooth device manager gui?

Why 686 kernel?
by Clyde E. Kunkel
After installing F9 beta from DVD and doing a 300MB update (wow!!!) I
noticed that the updated kernel is the 686 flavor not 386 and I got a
kernel oops on reboot.
How do I get my i386 version back? F9 alpha only installed i386 versions.
ASUS P5K-E wifi board.
