new year, new test kernel.
by Dave Jones
This hasn't been pushed out to the testing
repo's just yet, but you can pick it up
early from http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3/
The major change since the last test release
should be the fixing of the problem a lot of
folks (especially radeon users) saw on logout
of Gnome/KDE.

Fedora Core 3 Rootkit
by Alex Ackerman
This may seem like an odd request, but I am doing a masters thesis on
SELinux and I'm using Fedora Core 3 as a test platform. One of the areas
I am trying to test are additional uses for SELinux (beyond the obvious
"securing a system"). I'm looking for a rootkit or other known
vulnerability that is known to install on a base FC3 system. I'm trying
to find out if SELinux can be used in assured secure recovery ops. Any
ideas? Thanks!

Rpms, C/D burning and Sound in FC3
by gslink
As of Dec. 17 there was a set of replacement rpms in FC3 updates. The
libe package was poisonous. It defeated click to install and also fixed
the system so it was impossible to manage users and groups. These rpms
have been removed from updates but if anyone has loaded them then you
need to unload them.
Our experience with sound in FC3 is that it only works for the root user
unless you install the updates for FC3. With the updates installed
sound and also C/D burning work normally.
Even with the updates KPPP still will dial and connect but no other
program can use the connection.
In EVERY case that we have tried we were unable to use the FC3 discs to
UPGRADE. If you are going to use FC3 follow the RH warning and
reinstall. Then put the updates in. The updates may make the problem
vanish.

udev..
by Manu Abraham
Hi,
I have a dvb module that has funny problems when loaded with udev .. Is there
something specific that i should do in the driver to have normal operation
with udev ?
If the module is launched manually, it works fine .. Can somebody give me some
pointers here ?

nvidia drivers

Hi,
I'm using rawhide. Where is the best place to get hold of the nvidia
drivers from?
IIRC, it was dag that had them, but I can't remember.

rpm problems
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I've noticed that while my system will download rpms, it won't install
them - all I get are pre, preun and post errors (even when
uninstalling).
I installed the latest kernel update by hand yesterday and did it with -
vv as an rpm option. The output was this

Any ideas why all downloads are failing to install and what I need to do
to fix the problem. The problem only affects this machine and not my
laptop or any other FC3 box I have, so it's pretty much a local problem.

New kernel blah
by RaXeT
Why can't something be done short term to fix the Marvell gigabyte lan
module missing mess. The update from Syskonnect has been available since
early October 04. It was supported in earlier 2.6 kernels?
Anyone? And don't tell me someone has to add it upstream at kernel.org,
cause that's ridiculous.

kernel-2.6.10-1.1056_FC4 much better than post kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3
by Jim Cornette
It is nice not to have to override shortcomings from test kernels post
kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 until kernel-2.6.10-1.1056_FC4. I now can
shutdown the computer normally and do not have the shutdown from GUI
lockup that the -715 kernel version suffered.
Thanks for the resulting improvements.
On personal input, I think that this kernel and needed newer versioned
packages might be moved to test. The kernel should probably be
introduced into FC3 also, at least in testing.

Style may not be the answer, but at least it's a workable alternative.
