"FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'ascii-0'" after xorg transition
by Ville Herva
I just moved to xorg-x11 (thanks to all fedora-test-list members for the
hints on how to do that painlessly.) I went pretty smoothly.
I have one problem, though. After the transition, I get these:
FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'ascii-0' for '/mnt/msdos/winnt/Fonts/lucon.ttf'
FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'ascii-0' for '/mnt/msdos/winnt/Fonts/lucon.ttf'
And font "lucida console" (a Windows font) no longer works. I've tried
recreate the font caches (mkfontdir, fc-cache -f, service xfs restart), but
it doesn't seem to depend on that.
Any idea what could cause that or how to fix it?

install of kernel 2.6.4-1.298 does not work
by Richard Hally
when I ran up2date today it appeared to install kernel 2.6.4-1.298.
There were no errors reported. But it did not update grub as usual, it
did not put any files in /boot, and when I do rpm -q kernel it does not
show 2.6.4-1.298 (It shows the other kernels 253 etc)
[root@old1 boot]# rpm -q kernel

[root@old1 boot]#
This shows (supposedly) that all those packages were updated. If the
kernel was not installed when the log says it was, how many others were
not really updated?
another problem is that I use grub! ( have never used lilo on this
box) and it was not updated. the log shows that the kernel install
tried to update lilo.
btw I am running in enforcing mode as root (with role sysmgr_r):
Where do I start with the bug reports?
the kernel 'cause it did not install?
up2date because it did not report any errors when something was very worng?
selinux policy? there are hundreds of avc denied messages...
please let me know how to proceed with getting my system updated in
enforcing mode
and if there is additional information I can provide. the messages file
is 796261 bytes and I have saved a copy.
thanks,

how to set up ftp install server
by M Galvin
This might not be the right place to ask but I am
setting up an FTP install server for Fedora. I have
read the Redhat docs but they don't really specify
what FTP dir structure needs to be. Does anyone know?
Should it be
/ftproot/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/disk1
/disk2
/disk3
OR
/ftproot/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/(all disks in one dir) while combining the Fedora dirs from each cd
Thanks in advance!

cannot update XFree86 packages
by MDS
Hello.
I know that there are up2date issues, and one of mine is not having any
of the XFree86 packages listed as available to update. They were there a
couple of days ago on the Available Updates Window, but now they're
gone. I have not updated these packages. I have similar issues with some
glibc packages, among many others, all of which I have not updated.
Much thanks.

Another person's experience installing FC2 test 2
by shmuel siegel
I am running a dual boot Win2k/Fedora system. Originally formatted by
Win2k for the NTFS and Fat32 partitions and formatted by RH7/8/9 for the
ext3 and linux swap partitions.
I got the already known complaints during the install. I couldn't do a
hard disk install because I didn't have a driver. The CDROM install
warned about partition alignment problems.
I didn't upgrade my FC1 system but rather installed FC2 to an existing
ext3 partition which I bravely reformatted as reiserfs. The installation
went smoothly and rapidly.
Rebooting, I found to my annoyance, that the boot loader was overridden
and now pointed to somewhere that didn't have my fc1 configuration, thus
forcing me to do some grub.conf editting. But more seriously, with
selinux turned on, I couldn't start. init did not have the proper
permissions. Rebooting with selinux turned off, didn't help since there
was no inittab. Copying the inittab from fc1 didn't help since there was
no rc.d/rc.
How should I proceed?

Re: Today's dependency problems
by Troy Carpenter
Actually, the problem is that the new gimp package (gimp-2.0.0-5)
deletes that library and replaces it:
# rpm -ql gimp | grep libgimp
/usr/lib/libgimp-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimp-2.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libgimpbase-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpbase-2.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libgimpcolor-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpcolor-2.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libgimpmath-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpmath-2.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libgimpmodule-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpmodule-2.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libgimpthumb-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpthumb-2.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libgimpui-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpui-2.0.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0.0.0
So the dependency is that libgimp-1.3.so.26 is being removed and will no
longer be available, not that it is currently not available.

Hm. libgimp-1.3.so.26 is provided by gimp-2.0-1.pre3.4.1.i386.rpm that
has been available since March 18th. Not sure why it doesn't show up for
you. Knowing which mirror you use could help in that respect.

Calming the BAD JOKE thread
by Jean Francois Martinez
1) This is a beta. Right. We expect things not working perfectly.
But we expect to be able to install (even some glitches) and to boot.
If we aren't able to do this, we will be frustrated and we will be
unable to provide any help in hunting bugs. another point is
that the people on this list care about Fedora's success and we don't
want Fedora getting a bad name due to bad releases or betas who are
in pre-pre-alpha stage (see below before you get defensive on this)
2) I think the reason myself and a lot of people haven't been able
to boot could be linked to recording software. I had the same
problem with Mandrake, I solved it, I don't remember how, I think it
involved telling to xcdroast to record at a higher or lower capacity
than 80 minutes. Since this is the xcdroast from Redhat 9 it is
probable that the iso images have been built with mastering utilities
who don't play well with recording at 80 minutes capacity: ie
the CDs are readable (some people have succeded in making a mediacheck
on CDs who didn't boot) but the boot record will not be detected by
the BIOS
3) The boot.iso image is in a state who is completely unacceptable
even for a beta. In normal times this would not be a major problem
since most people would install from CD and would not see it. But
since many people have been unable to boot from CD they have stumbled
upon it. It does not make FC2T2 a joke (ie I withdraw my words about
it) but as I said above boot.iso is in inacceptable state
