xhost not working?
by Jay Harris
While we're waiting for the download... has the Xserver changed
the way it allows incoming windows? I can no longer get Xwindows
to display on my FCT3 desktop from RH9 or Solaris boxes. It seems
xhost+ has no affect. I didn't notice this earlier since most of
my windowing is now done through ssh.

rpm database corrupted, how to recover?
by Torrey Hoffman
While installing some rpms from FreshRPMs.net on my system, rpm
segfaulted. It seems to have corrupted the database in the process, and
now all rpm commands hang.
How can I recover without reinstalling Fedora?
Here's what it looks like when it hangs:
[root@moria rpm]# rpm -v -v --rebuilddb
D: rebuilding database /var/lib/rpm into /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2274
D: creating directory /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2274
D: opening old database with dbapi 3
D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv
D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0
(Nothing happens for a long time. Killed with -9)
So I moved /var/lib/rpm/Packages to /var/lib/rpm/Packages.corrupt
and then:
[root@moria rpm]# rpm -v -v --rebuilddb
D: rebuilding database /var/lib/rpm into /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2334
D: creating directory /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2334
D: opening old database with dbapi 3
D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv
D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages create mode=0x0
D: locked db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: opening new database with dbapi 3
D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2334/Packages
create:mpool
D: opening db index /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2334/Packages create
mode=0x42
D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: closed db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: closed db index /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2334/Packages
D: closed db environment /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2334/Packages
D: removing directory /var/lib/rpmrebuilddb.2334
But the resulting Packages list is NOT actually rebuilt, it is empty!
[root@moria rpm]# ll Packages*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Nov 12 13:19 Packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 rpm rpm 58630144 Nov 12 12:50 Packages.corrupt
This has been filed in Bugzilla as bug #109913.

yum vs rpm.
by Kevin Francis
I am going to assume here, that yum is the tool of choice for Fedora Core.
If that assumption is correct, we should discourage people from using
apt-get/synaptic, seeing as how this is a sure fire way of seeing those
`rpm lock-up' complaints.
Perhaps an FAQ or something explaining how to make yum go faster ( -C )
is in order. The #1 complaint about yum is the fact that it updates all
the time.
Remove that, and it's maybe ... 5 seconds slower than apt? And it's
designed for the task.
I send this to the test-list, as this will probably be of concern to the
people putting out the next test.

No USB mouse with Arjan's 2.6 kernel?
by Torrey Hoffman
I'm running Fedora Core 1 on a new P4 system, using an ordinary
Microsoft optical USB mouse and PS2 keyboard. Everything works with
the default 2.4 Fedora kernel.
I installed the latest 2.6 kernel from Arjan's RPMs at
http://people.redhat.com/~arjanv/2.5 -- specifically
vmlinuz-2.6.0-0.test9.1.83smp and tried it out.
Most things seemed to work, except my USB mouse didn't get started up
and didn't work. The light didn't come on, which seems to happen when
the USB drivers load, so I don't think the USB mouse driver was loaded
at all.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Fedora Core 1 Update: glibc-2.3.2-101.1
by Bill Nottingham
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-002
2003-11-12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc
Version : 2.3.2
Release : 101.1
Summary : The GNU libc libraries.
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Herbert Xu reported that various applications can accept spoofed messages
sent on the kernel netlink interface by other users on the local machine.
This could lead to a local denial of service attack. The glibc function
getifaddrs uses netlink and could therefore be vulnerable to this issue.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0859 to this issue.
In addition to this this update fixes a couple of bugs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tue Nov 11 2003 Jakub Jelinek <jakub(a)redhat.com> 2.3.2-101.1
- fix getifaddrs (CAN-2003-0859)
- fix ftw fd leak
- fix linuxthreads sigaction (#108634)
- fix glibc 2.0 stdio compatibility
- fix uselocale (LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE)
- speed up stdio locking in non-threaded programs on IA-32
- try to maintain correct order of cleanups between those
registered with __attribute__((cleanup))
and with LinuxThreads style pthread_cleanup_push/pop (#108631)
- fix segfault in regex (#109606)
- fix RE_ICASE multi-byte handling in regex
- fix pthread_exit in libpthread.a (#109790)
