December 2004 - test - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Paul F. Johnson

Hi, Any chance of the current dev version of OOo being added into rawhide as an additional package. I've been tracking it for a while now and the current version (1.9.5) is incredibly stable and looking fantastic.

Permissions on system-config-bind

by Hewitt,William P - JSC

I am trying to use system-config-bind and found that the file, Zone.py seems to be having problems setting the variable "self.owner" and results in the failure of the application to write out the configuration files..... Has anyone else had a problem with this? Am I trying in vain to set up DNS this way instead of *rolling my own* config files? Does this application (system-config-bind) actually work (or perhaps a placeholder) ? WPH

disklabel

by Manu Abraham

Hi, I had a machine running RH9 and a 120GB SATA HDD. The HDD was ailing and occassionally giving out sector not found {Drive ready,Seek failure} errors. So i thought it was time to move in to FC3 and a new 160GB SATA HDD. Bootup of FC3 gave me a kernel crash, and an error complaining about suggesting acpi=off, but even with acpi=off, still gave me the same warning and a crash.. I then later on figured that the SATA Enhanced mode operation would be a problem and switched it to compatibility mode. The motherboard is an ASUS P4C800, Intel 875 chipset.. Lo it worked.... That went fine through.... No problems even though initially i thought not to edit /etc/fstab by hand because it was generated by fstab-sync ? I went on to edit it by hand... Everything went smoothly... Now i figured that i required some files more were there on the old HDD, than compared to the backup i had... I plugged in the OLD SATA HDD has Primary Slave, and the NEW SATA HDD as Primary master. The initscripts failed stating about duplicate LABEL=/, LABEL=/boot, LABEL=/work... and a hung system... I know that if i modify the disklabels to actual device names my problems would be solved... But, what i would like to know is whether a graceful way of doing it exists, without much hassle... I know that this is not much of an issue, but still thought it would be better if i posted the problem... Manu

re: a modest proposal

by gslink

If you take a disc with a bad sector Windows will work on it and RH won't. This is a fatal flaw and brings the reliability of Linux into question. As soon as Microsoft finds out that RH has intentionally refused to check disc surfaces the propaganda advantage will be great. Imagine a test demonstration where RH won't even install. With this kind of attitude RH doesn't need any enemies.

difficult to reproduce x86_64 gnumeric + python plugin issue

by Caolán McNamara

I'm having a bit of difficulty in reproducing a gnumeric x86_64 python plugin problem on exiting gnumeric (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133662) I'm sure it relatively trivial, I'd be interested in backtraces or failure/success reports with the fc3 rpms at http://people.redhat.com/caolanm/gnumeric/ C.

A small request ...

by Poonchezhian P.

Hi everybody, So far with redhat/fedora installation, it has been the default, that if I select full installation, I have all the language packages installed as default. (For ex: kde-i18n-* packages). It would be better, if the installation does install only the packages related to the language that is selected at the begining of the installation, for ex: If I select US.English, the kde-i18n packages neednot be installed, so that it saves something around 370MB of valuable space. It would be better to have it as default way instead of deselecting individual packages during the installation. -- Poonchezhian P. Email : pchez(a)mail.cyberneme.com

missing rawhide .../images contents

by G.Wolfe Woodbury

The rawhide|development tree is severely broken again. There is nothing in the .../images directory. Kind of makes it hard to do testing installs and such. -- G.Wolfe Woodbury `- -' RHCT U The Line Eater is a boojum!
