Schema problem or something else
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Post the big upgrades of last week (Thur + Fri), I seem to have
"developed" a number of very small but very annoying problems and am
wondering if a schema or two has been chewed.
The first is that all of the icons on the redhat menu have vanished.
The second is that I have a logout widget on the panel bar. Normally,
this gives the choice of three other ways. It currently just instantly
logs out.
Under the current kernel, I still have to be in as su to use k3b/
xcdroast etc. I thought that had been fixed
Other than that, everything seems happy.
Why do I think it's a schema related problem? Simple, gconf-editor dies
- alright, it could be at best an indication of a problem and at worst,
a totally different problem.
Any help on these would be appreciated.
TTFN

Fear and Loathing my next Fedora update
by TGS
The other day I was happily singing the praises of Fedora. Everything, at
least everything that I use, seems to work just fine.
At least that was until I updated Yum, and was hosed. No biggie, since I was
only updating Yum, and easily was able to backdate to the previous version.
Then I said to myself, hmmm, maybe I should not be soooo cutting edge,
getting every fix that is released. So I sat back and waited.
Then I have was shocked to see the file corruption issue be introduced to
the baseline at this late date, after 540+ builds.
So my question is this ...
Are the releases, patches, fixes, additions, and updates being tested
properly before they are put into the tree, or are the developers releasing
code that is semi-stable at best, with the hope that the user
developer/community with be the initial test bed?

Evolution Attachments - File Type Associations
by Thomas Zehetbauer
Where does Ximian Evolution get the information how to treat a specific
attachment type and how do I modify this? I am getting voice messages as
application/ogg attachments which I can only save to disk although both
ogg123 and xmms are installed.

FC3t2 via yum
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
This is just a wild guess, but can I take it that my box is actually
running FC3t2 as I've run yum every night (like a good little man)? Or
have the repositories not been updated.
Just asking as only udev is on the development branch for update at the
moment (13:11 British Summer Time)
I know when I reboot, my box is still claiming to be running FC2 and not
3t1

last 541 kernel damages fileystem .. starting fresh FC3T2 candidate.
by Jim Cornette
Since I booted up using the latest kernel and ended up with a lot of
file errors related to inodes, I'll be installing fresh.
I noticed that my download time for the release candidate is scheduled
to complete around noon tomorrow at current dl speed. Are there any
torrents going or is there an alternate ftp server with the release
candidate?
Also, does X contain the latest patch for the i810 graphics controller?
I wanted to know so I could determine if installing in text mode or
graphics mode would be a better choice.
