problems updating from fedora 0.94
by Sjoerd Mullender
When I try to up2date my fedore 0.94 installation I get the message
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
dbus-qt-0.11.91-3 requires dbus = 0.11.91
Please modify your package selections and try again.
I have dbus and dbus-qt installed:
# rpm -q dbus dbus-qt
dbus-0.11.91-3
dbus-qt-0.11.91-3
and I see that up2date tries to install dbus-0.13-2, but I don't see a
newer version of dbus-qt. Is that missing from the channel?

RE: Grub stage1 file error
by Ossama Khayaat
Michael and Michael, thanks very much for your responses.
I'll try to use 'parted' to check the type of partition again.
The problem is that even when I created a GRUB boot disk, and used the
GRUB command line to manually boot the partition, it couldn't read it.
I try:
# root(hd0,6) (which is /dev/hda7)
and I get:
unrecognized partition (or similar)
One more question is, say that it is a FAT16 partition, and I want to
convert it to ext3 without formatting. How can I do this? Just curious
:)
Appreciating your help,
Ossama

Locales question
by Jaap A. Haitsma
Hi,
I have the following question. I'm always logging in with US English as
the language. I'm Dutch, but I get confused with a desktop and programs
in Dutch. However I would like to have date / money / number/ time etc.
etc. in the Dutch format.
I added variables to /etc/sysconfig/i18n to make all the locale
variables Dutch except the language. However programs like mozilla mail
still keep the american date format. If I log in with Dutch as the
language the format is good, but then I have all my programs in Dutch :-(.
Anybody know how to solve this? BTW a graphical tool to set these things
would also be nice.
This is the output locale gives after I changed i18n
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_NAME=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
Seems OK to me, but mozilla mail still does not change to a dutch date
format even if I change LANG also to nl_NL.UTF-8 and login with American
English.
Thanks

anaconda monitor resolution bug
by Peter Boy
I just did a fresh install of severn/test 2. During installation I
explicitely selected custom LCD 1400*1050 ( IBM Thinkpad T40p). But
after installation it booted in 1024*768, the resolution during
installation.
Did someone else observed this behaviour or is it specific to my
equipment and not worth a bug report?

Discrepancy on Firewall page of 0.94 Install
by Karl Forsberg
Someone may have seen this already but I thought I would throw this out
there just in case. During the Fedora Core 0.94 install there is a
discrepancy on the firewall configuration page. The information
provided in the left column seems to be the Redhat 9 information, which
refers to low, medium and high security settings for the firewall. This
does not match the new format which excludes those settings. A small
thing.

laptop install - screen gets white
by Rainer Hattenhauer
Hello,
since RH 9, I have the following problem when booting from installation CD 1
and trying to perform an install on my laptop:
After media check, when launching the anaconda installer, the screen of my
laptop is getting slowly white and remains in this state. No chance to work
in graphical space, <ctrl>+<alt>+<+/-> doesn't show any effect, too.
Hardware: Ati Rage Mobility, which is detected by the install routine, but:
screen is marked as not detected.
Software: now using fedora test2
As a workaround, I connected my external Desktop monitor, went through the
installation, and after that, rebooting the system, and the graphic system
goes up properly.
Any idea for a better workaround which uses the laptop screen for
installation (beside using anaconda in text mode) ?

Redhat 9.1 Beta 1 installed without any additional options. H.E, Fedora
beta 2 requires pci=biosirq ide=nodma and nousb options. The system
hangs at "starting system services" gui boot up screen. Do I have to add
these options every time the computer starts ? and how to add them?
