Unsigned packages in yum?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Is it just me or is there something wrong with yum updates?
I can download the updates fine, but when it comes to the install, all
I'm getting is
unsigned
package //var/cache/yum/development/packages/tk-8.4.9-1.i386.rpm
I've imported the PGP files (otherwise I couldn't do the downloads!).
Any ideas on what has one wrong?

This is of course the solution and it has been my own stupidity and ignorance
that made me seeing a problem where no is.
Thank you everyone for your comments.

FC3: Problems with mounting USB harddisk
by Stephan Groß
Hi,
I'm trying to use my external USB harddisk under FC3. When I plug in the disk
it is recognized by hald and the /etc/fstab is (correctly) modified (see
attachment). But if an unpriviledged user mounts one of the ext3 partitions
he only has read access but no write access on it. Only root is alowed to
read AND write to the partition. If the partition is formated as FAT the user
mounting it has both read and write access to it. Short question: Is it
possible to get read-write access for ext3 partitions and if yes, how must I
adjust my config?
Thank you for some advice.
Regards,
Stephan.

Fedora Core 3 Test Update: hotplug-2004_04_01-8.1
by Bill Nottingham
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-537
2004-12-09
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : hotplug
Version : 2004_04_01
Release : 8.1
Summary : A helper application which loads modules for USB devices.
Description :
The term "hotplugging" refers to the dynamic reconfiguration performed
after a device has been attached to a running system. This package
contains the application which is called by the kernel when a USB
device is added; hotplug then loads the required modules for that
device.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This fixes a small bug with the use of REMOVER and USB. If no regressions
are found, this will probably be pushed final at some point before the new
year.

Announcing Fedora Core 3 for PowerPC platforms
by Colin Charles
The Fedora Project is proud to announce a TESTING tree for Fedora Core 3
on the PowerPC platforms
It is available at:
http://fedoraproject.org/fedorappc/FC-3/
For most part, the isos/ directory contains all 8 ISOs, the first four
which are the binaries, the remainder which are SRPMS. If you want a
complete binary install, the first 4 ISOs are all you require.
The os/ directory contains a full tree of Fedora Core 3 for the PPC
platform. As a bonus, we created a repository, so that you can have a
yum repository to point to after installation. The repository is:
http://fedoraproject.org/fedorappc/FC-3/os/Fedora/RPMS/
Updates are also available, at a yum-ified repository:
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/people/dwmw2/fc3-updates-ppc/
Some notes about the release: the release is known to not boot on G5's,
and we are working on re-building another tree, which we can push out
soon. Sleep support for the G4 iBook's and Powerbooks isn't implemented
upstream yet, but there are testing kernels available in RPM form
To install the release, you need boot.iso from the os/images/ directory
(use mac/pseries appropriately) as well as at least CD1 (disc 1 is not
blessed). When booting the boot.iso CD, hold down the 'C' key, and use
the "linux askmethod" option. Other methods of installation are located
at:
http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html
We have a mailing list for further discussion at:
http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ppc
And if you IRC, come join us on irc.freenode.net, at #fedora-ppc. As
always, if there are bugs, file them at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/
under the 'powerpc' platform. We have a tracker bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=121179
Lastly, this release would not have been possible without the tireless
contributions from Paul Nasrat, David Woodhouse, and Seth Vidal (who
hosts the site!) and the numerous testers who hung out at #fedora-ppc
Happy PPC-ing!

i815 graphics
by Russell Coker
I've just got a couple of new (to me) Compaq P3-800 machines with i815
graphics on the motherboard.
When I try installing FC3 as well as the usual problem of every second attempt
crashing the machine when it enters graphics mode I have another problem.
At the stage of getting to selecting packages the screen does not update. The
dialog box "Reading Package Information..." remains on the screen, and then
when I move the mouse cursor it changes the background color of "Install
Default Software Packages" and "Customize Software Packages to be Installed"
radio button text and thus causes them to appear (but the "Reading Package
Information..." dialog is still on screen).
If I continue then subsequent screens have the same problem and a graphical
install is not feasible (and I imagine that if I did complete the install I
would not be able to use X due to the same bug).
Anyone else seen similar bugs?
