Rollback
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
How do I go about rolling back to a previous version of Cups? I'm still
not getting anywhere and having to use my wifes FC2 box for printing
rather than this one.

Reiser4
by Nadeem Bitar
Now that Reiser4 is released is there any hope to see it in FC3.
Thanks,
Nadeem
PS: I know this is wishful thinking. since test 2 is due in two weeks.

Evolution 2
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Any signs of Ev2 coming into rawhide? I've not been keeping up with the
chase on the Evolution2 (though I have been using the rawhide versions).
I'm asking as IIRC, it was due to hit rawhide a couple of weeks back,
but there was a delay.

MSI K8N Neo nForce3-250 kernel problems
by Marcos A. Mondragon
Hello,
I've been have problems getting a working kernel with this motherboard.
I initially install FC2 x86_64 without a problem and I tried to install
FC3 test1 but there were problems with the test1 isolinux that were
addressed by Jeremy Katz (Bugzilla # 130557). I then used yum to update
my packages to FC3 test1 via the development channel but I haven't been
able to boot a kernel later than 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 (which I kept around
from FC2). I've entered it into Bugzilla (# 130558) but I was curious
if anyone on the list has been able to use this motherboard with FC3
test1. I've looked around and tried some of the generic x86_64
suggestions (acpi=off) without any luck and I have a segment of my
serial console dump that I'm including. I can e-mail the full log if
anyone is interested.
Thanks,

system-conf-printer - more info
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
The saga of the hosed cups continues....
I've done the following so far
1. switched off nscd and cups via s-c-services
2. restarted the machine
3. opened a terminal window, su, strace -o print2.txt -f system-config-
printer
As with yesterday, the system ground to a halt (100% processor time,
lots of disc hammering). Unlike yesterday though, instead of a complete
hang, the desktop cleared (nautilus and gnome-panel then restarted,
though all applications I had been running had not been restarted).
strace seems odd. At the start of the 2Mb file, there are piles of
python bits not there (lots of things from /sbin and /usr/lib/python2.3
- such as /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/ltihooks.pyo and ltihooks.so)
Towards the end, it seems that s-c-p is loading the printer information,
but then dies suddenly at the end.
If its any use, I'll tar.bz2 them (both the one from yesterday and from
today) - I would imagine 4.1Mb of text will compress nicely.

apt sources for fedora 3 test?
by Aaron Gaudio
I currently have download.fedora.us and ayo.freshrpms.net set up as apt
sources for fedora test, but download.fedora.us doesn't appear to have
any SRPMS anymore, and ayo.freshrpms.net doesn't have an updated index
(some of the rpms are 404ing, so I assume they updated their packages
but not their index).
I wonder if anyone else has some better mirrors to suggest?

Hosed cups - the strace output
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've uploaded the strace output for my system when trying to run s-c-
printer and restart the cups server.
http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/linux/downloads/printer.tar.bz2 (it's
206k long)
If anyone can see the reason for both cups not starting or s-c-p not
working, I'll be interested to hear.
Both files marked printer are run from me as su and trying to start s-c-
printer.
printer.txt - with nscd and cups started on boot
print2.txt - with nscd and cups stopped on boot
cups.txt - attempting to start the cups server
Help!

cups / nscd / system-config-printer
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm looking at the output of strace -f system-config-printer
There looks to be a problem with nscd not being available. When I run
system-config-services, nscd reports that it's dead but the lock file is
still there.
Other than caching the nameservers, what else does it do and could it
interfere with printing?

bug or not: modprobe and DL2K
by TGS
When modprobe runs and creates the modprobe.conf, it creates entries for my
Dlink network card, with the module DL2K. I have to edit the file to be
dl2k, all lowercase, to have the driver for the card.
Is this a bug?

X crashing? Slowing? .. with i810 driver - xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-1
by Jim Cornette
I tried the latest CVS version and found that X and startx seemed to die
as processes after a short time running on the 815 video card . Gnome
kept using whatever residual elements were on screen 7. Anyway, I
submitted the below bug against the i810 driver.
https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1232
As a note: I am compiling the src rpm w/ the below commands to see if it
fares better. ..
rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-1.src.rpm
At least it is alive again. After compiling and installing the i686
rpms, the results will be added to the bug report.
Just in case other users have similar troubles w/ the latest driver.
