Fedora Core 1 Status Update
by Bill Nottingham 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

The Fedora Steering Committee proposes to transfer Fedora Core 1 to the Fedora Legacy Project at the point Fedora Core 3 Test 2 is released. This is currently scheduled for September 13, 2004. This represents a one month extension from the original timetable but an extension we hope will enable the Fedora Legacy Project to receive considerably better quality access to the codebase. For more information on the Fedora Legacy Project, or if you wish to join the team please see http://fedoralegacy.org/.

Bash prompt change
by Mike Chambers 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Anyone notice/see their prompt change to [mike@scrappy ~]$ after the latest rawhide updates? It seems to show the proper dir's when you switch out of home, but it shows ~ (yes I know that means your home dir) when you first change to a user and their home dir. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "It's only funny until someone gets hurt...Then it's hilarious!"

Today's dependency problems
by Gerry Tool 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

I managed to get all but two of the packages currently in the update queue installed. The remaining two, libcroco and librsvg2 both refuse to install with a warning Unresolvable chain of dependencies: gimp 2.0.3-1 requires libcroco.so.2 gnome-games 2.6.2-1 requires libcroco.so.2 nautilus 2.6.0-6 requires libcroco.so.2 This situation has persisted for several days. How can I resolve this? Thanks. Gerry Tool

FC3T1 Gnome Errors
by Mike Klinke 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

After downloading the latest batches of updated files yesterday and today I find that I'm getting error messages from the "Gnome Settings Daemon" whenever I boot up into FC3T1 as follows: ========== Error Message Box ====== There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. The last error message was: Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. ========== >From the system.log: --------- /var/log/messages -------- Aug 2 20:12:22 localhost gconfd (root-2627): starting (version 2.6.0), pid 2627 user 'root' Aug 2 20:12:23 localhost gconfd (root-2627): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only config source atposition 0 Aug 2 20:12:23 localhost gconfd (root-2627): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable config source at position 1 Aug 2 20:12:23 localhost gconfd (root-2627): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only config source at position 2 --------- and indeed, changing themes ultimately led to the following error messages: Changing to bluecurve: ========== Error Message Boxes (2) ====== The Application "wnck-applet" has quit unexpectedly.

Hello, I am getting this error when trying to yum update FC3t1 error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 838 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 30c9ecf8 Sometimes the 838 is 313. I know it has something to do with signatures, but how do I fix it? Thanks.

Problems building (anything)
by Mike old 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

I have two machines with full build environments with FC3T1, the work machine is fine (1400 duron) However my home machine wont build anything, it bails with an error "internal compiler error - illegal instruction" As an example building the kernel, this occurs on make menuconfig on scripts/basic/fixdep (ie immediately, so would not appear to any broken hardware isues) The only thing I can think of is that my home box is a K6/2 ie: i586

I tried installing FC2 and that does the same. Install goes fine but on first boot up it runs like a dog. I've just reinstalled FC1 to make sure it's not a hardware problem and thats running sweet. Shame because I was just getting into this whole spacial Nautilus thing :-( Simon

HP Tape Changer and Linux
by Mark A. Hoover 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I've got a friend of mine offering me an HP C1553A 24/48 Autoloading Tape Drive. I've done a few Google searches concerning this device. HP says it's Linux compatible. Most mailing list references (rather dated) says it's not supported by the kernel (although these are mostly 2.2.x references). The Amanda website references tapes for the device, but I didn't see anything referencing the device itself. It's possible I'm not searching on the right terms, but I figured I'd ask the list and see if anybody is currently using one of these things and with what sort of configuration.

NVIDIA driver with 2.6.7-1.501 kernel
by Nave, Ronald 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I earlier reported that the NVIDIA-6106 driver did not work with the latest 2.6.7-501 kernel. on FC3- test 1 I have inspected the nvidia installation log and Xorg log , but do not see any obvious explanation of the problem. The log files are enclosed <<nvidia-installer.log>> <<Xorg.0.log>>
