An Idea for FC4
by Jeffrey D. Yuille
Hello Sirs,
I don't know if anyone has suggested this before, but I was
curious about something: in the next release of Fedora Core (FC4),
during the installation of Fedora, why can't there be an automatic
detection and configuration of printers, just as there are automatic
detections of other devices during installation? I have had difficulty
in printing over the network with Fedora Core where the printer is
attached to a Fedora Core 3 box. I have Googled all over the internet
where I have found info about setting up printing with CUPS, however I
have not been able to print over a small network. By the way, I know
that printers can be automatically set up in other distributions of
Linux (Mandrake, for one) that have allowed me to print wirelessly and
though Ethernet over a small network.
Anyway, this is just a suggestion. Are there any plans to allow
for the automatic detection and installation of printing in Fedora Core
4 when it becomes available?

Missing libs?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've rebooted to kernel 1075 and some of the libs seem to be reporting
as not found. Is this me or the system?
httpd failed (pcre missing)
ntp (crypto missing)
vsftpd (ssl missing)

starting to toy with rawhide, no conflicts, some broken things
by Jim Cornette
I am booting a development installation that was sitting dormant since
FC3 was released. It still had FC2 repositories listed, so it was pretty
well outdated.
Anyway, I have noticed problems with several features that do not seem
to work well with rawhide on my test resumes.
The first problem relates to not getting an IP address when booting up
the system. I have to run dhclient in order to get an IP address from my
router that is setup via DHCP. Using neat or system-config-network, I
get an inactive message for the interface. the NIC is setup to activate
on boot.
Another problem is related to a usb harddrive that is attached. I have
to mount the drive as root in order to use it.
Also I have a few ACPI related errors. For the acpi errors, I get the
below in the system log.
Jan 7 12:36:16 cornette-hdb kernel: ibm_acpi: ec object not found

dhcpd: Lease with bogus binding state: 257
by Andy Green
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi Folks -
Running dhcpd just for my wireless network. It has been working okay,
although it seemed slow to deliver an IP. Today it is not working at all, I
look in the /var/log/messages, and I see
Jan 7 12:35:47 backup dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:10:c6:41:d4:d6 via wlan0:
network 10.0.0.0/24: no free leases
This is mighty surprising since it has many IPs to allocate /etc/dhcpd.conf
and just one client right now:
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.0.21 10.0.0.253;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
option routers 10.0.0.10;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option domain-name "home.warmcat.com";
}
Oh well, maybe I have a couple of hundred hackers parked outside. So I
restart dhcpd, but I am surprised to see
service dhcpd restart

The warning is actually okay, I only want to serve leases on wlan0 from this
machine, not eth0. Okay, maybe there is junk in the leases file, but I go
to /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases and it just has the default comment in it. I
move even that to a new filename so there is no lease file and the behaviour
is the same on service restart.
Google shows another guy on FC3 saw the same thing, but it is not useful for a
result, I tried Bugzilla and I did not find anything there, but many times I
failed to find something there that is there.
Any ideas?

Confirm? New local root exploits

Anyone tried the recently announced local root exploits against Fedora

Fc3 : installation via pxe boot and network
by Dirk Westfal
Greetings,
i`m trying to setup an install server to boot and install systems via
network.
Currently I`m using the initrd from base/pxeboot.
Now: the kernel boots fine, the ramdisk is loaded and /sbin/loader starts.
However after loading the network driver it then hangs forever with:
'trying to mount CD device hda'.
Well, of course there is no cdrom media present....
Question: how can i tell the /sbin/loader to start a network install ?
tia!
Best Regards,
Dirk Westfal

Kernel test
by JERRY WHITMIRE
I have tried to run kernel 2.6.10-1.727 586
and it took 9 min & 35 sec from grub to full log no to gnome desk top
where it takes only 1 min & 29 on 2.6.9-1.715 586 fc3 and all below
kernels.
And have kernel panic on 2.6.10-1.1069 fc4 586 felled to sync .i think it
stopped on the ide drives.
Is there any way to remove these ?

Then your issue doesn't sound like mine.
I believe those errors are generic 'read' errors,
your question is why are you getting them.
I get mine because ever since kernel 2.6.9 (on both FC2 and FC3),
I can no longer burn CDs... 2.6.8 and earlier works fine.
So because I can't burn CDs (correctly) they are bad when I try to
read them, and hence the/my errors.

How to connect to internat in FC3 by dhcp.
by Yuji Yoshino
Dear The Officer
I woulod like to know about dhcpd and named in FedraCore3.
I have installed FedraC ore3, but I could not connet
to the internet.
I must change hosts, dhcpd.conf and named.conf ?
I think that dhcpd is for ipv6.
Because I have found dhcpdipv6 in /etc/services file.
Please show me how to connect to internet or
what kind of manual to read.
Sincerly yours.
Yuji Yoshino.
