FC2T2 - can't login as normal user - home directory does not exist message (wrong)
by Edoardo Comar
After an install with SELinux enabled
logged into kde as root, and added a couple of normal user with the add
user graphical tool, specifying UID manually and creating their unique
group names as the user as well.
I had their userdirs created and I could also get into them by executing
su - myuser
(answering no to the security context question)
but if I try to login from the kdm prompt
the login fails and the error message is that the /home/myuser directory
does not exist
I can only log in a failsafe session using / as temp home

Gnome panel suggestion
by Michael A. Peters
I have a suggestion - I'm not sure if this should go to gnome or to
fedora - I know some hackers are involved with both, and I know some
distro's will do special patches to make something more friendly.
Here's an example of how I personally use the gnome panel -
http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/tux/images_fedora/fedora4.jpeg
(that's from my C2T1 install)
Since my application menu is on the small menu at the top - when I add
an application to the gnome menu from the application menu, it gets
added to the menu at the top - and I have to move it the bottom. I would
prefer it if I could set a preference to which gnome panel the app gets
added to - since I don't want my application launchers at the top.
I hope this kind of suggestion is OK with the list purpose - it's not
really a bug report, but I think it would improve usability.

Quad Opteron boot problem with FC2
by Richard Cochius
I got an Celestica *A8440* board with 4 Opteron 1.8 GHZ. The
installation runs without a problem.
But I can't boot the SMP Kernel. I get an 'Kernel panic. Idle Task not
sync'. The problem, i found out, is the switch 'K8 NUMA support' in the
kernel config. If i turn it off the kernel boots with SMP support.
The next problem is that i can not run initrd on the system. It tells me
every time that all loopback device are busy.
Does someone has the same problems or a solution?
Greetings
Richard

Unknown GPG signatures
by Anthony Richardella
Should I worry about packages I download using up2date that
give an "unknown GPG signature" error? After installing Test
2 and running up2date there's about 20 packages that give
this error.
There are also other files like initscripts-7.49-1. After
installing it, it still stays that the installed version is
7.48-1.

need help to build driver disk (iteraid)
by Andrei
Hello,
I need some help to build a driver disk for the iteraid module (IT8212F ATA133 RAID Controller) for FC2 T1 kernel. I want to install a FC2 T1 on a box with a Raid 0 Array.
I have dl.-ed the source files for the driver (http://www.ite.com.tw//pc/LinuxSrc_it8212_092007-05_26x.zip) ; I have compiled them on a test machine. The resulted files are:
iteraid.ko
iteraid.o
iteraid.mod.c
itetaid.mod.o
now, I have read how to build a driver disk (http://faq.linux.cz/pracovni/driver-disk-howto);
I have downloaded the binary driver from ite.com.tw for the 2.4 kernel where I have replaced the modules.cgz file resulted after compilation.
But, I can't manage to insert the module when the installer starts. It keeps saying invalid compressed data , cpio: read failed ...
btw. for the 2.6 kernel the modules are files with *.ko extension ? Only this file is required to insert a driver as a module?
thanks

Re: SATA errors linger in test2
by Rio Baan
Thanks for your response.

>raid, go get a hardware card from LSI (more than 2 ports) or 3ware.
Actually, I care very little that Linux can't use the SATA RAID I have at
this point in time.
I just want Fedora to boot! :D
>Your CPU supports "HyperThreading" which is a second set of processing

I was beginning to think it was due to hyperthreading....
Funny thing is, one of the kernels (the top one with SMP) doesn't crash my
system outright on boot when it finds the RAID. It just stops and goes
nowhere on that grey screen. The swirling dots just keep going around and
around.
The other kernel crashes the system outright at this point.
I would check /proc for the cpu information.... if I could get test2 to boot
that far....

i810 X Crashing FC2T2
by Josh Hayden
I've been having an issue with X crashing. It's happened twice when I've
not been around my computer, logged into GNOME. I come back and X is
gone. It appears to be in mode CTRL-ALT-F7, because the screen is just
blank. I can switch to CTRL-ALT-F1, kill the X process, and gdm restarts
it as usual. I looked in /var/log/XFree86.0.log and towards the end, it
has the following three lines repeated 95+ times:
-------------------------
GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 108000
GetModeLine - hdsp: 1280 hbeg: 1328 hend: 1440 httl: 1688
vdsp: 1024 vbeg: 1025 vend: 1028 vttl: 1066 flags: 5
-------------------------
After that in the log is this:
*** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
*** be the reason for the server aborting.
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please
send the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xorg(a)freedesktop.org.

clock-applet dies when trying to change prefs
by M Galvin
The clock-applet is on the panel but when I right click on the time and select preferences it dies and I get a error message pop up that just says "The Application "clock-applet" has quit unexpectedly." It then lets me restart the clock-applet which puts it back on the panel. Then the prosess repeats. I just want to set it to display the full date. Its just keeps dying when seleting Prefeneces...
Anyone else have this prob., a fix?

FC2T2: 2 questions
by Alexander Volovics
Installed FC2T2 on i8100 without problems, however:
- The 'yenta_socket' not loading bug from FC2T1 is still there.
I have to manually modprobe yenta_socket, restart pcmcia and
/sbin/ifup eth0 to enable networking.
Is this "a work in progress" or should I bugzilla it again?
- I configured SElinux as 'permissive' during install in the hope
that everything would work as in previous versions of RH/Fedora
and I would just get warnings if things had changed.
But, for example, I could not start the 'system-config-*' apps
from the menu and had to run them as root in a terminal.
Changing SElinux to 'disabled' fixed this.
Is this a deliberate policy configuration or a bug?
PS: Though I can envision some uses for SElinux in a home environment
in general it seems to be massive overkill and adds a substantial
level of complexity. How is grandma going to deal with this?
