new perl & vim
by Tom London
Get this message after today's Rawhide updates:
[tbl@fedora mozExtensions]$ vi
vim: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Is there a 'hard connection' in vi to the prior version of perl (5.8.5?).

X.Org X11 6.8.2rc2 (6.8.1.902) is now available for testing in rawhide
by Mike A. Harris
X.Org X11 6.8.2rc2 (6.8.1.902) was released yesterday, and is now
available for testing for Fedora Core users in rawhide. This is
the second release candidate of what will become 6.8.2 in the
coming weeks. The 6.8.x series is a stable bugfix only series
which fixes bugs in 6.8.1 and contains no major new features.
If you have had any problems with 6.8.1 as shipped in Fedora Core
3, or 6.7.0 as shipped in Fedora Core 2, please upgrade to
6.8.1.902 in rawhide and test it well to see if the problems you
may have experienced have been fixed now. Please close any open
bug reports in both Red Hat and X.Org bugzilla if you have filed
a bug against X.Org and it is no longer present in the new RC2
rpms.
Fedora Core 3 and rawhide users are both encouraged to do this,
as we will be releasing 6.8.2 as an update for FC3 once it is
finalized.
Additionally, if you experience any regressions or other new
problems that did not occur in 6.8.1 or earlier, please report
these problems directly to X.Org, via the X.Org bugzilla at
freedesktop.org: http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg"
component. This will ensure that all X.Org developers have
a chance to see the bug report and possibly develop a
solution for the final 6.8.2 release.
Thanks in advance for testing.

latest kernels and ndiswrapper
by Alexandre Strube
Hello list,
I've been trying to use a wireless card (00:08.0 Network controller:
Intersil Corporation ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01) - with
isl3886 firmware). The prism54's guy Sebastien told me this firmware is
still not supported at all but with ndiswrapper.
As ndiswrapper wiki says at
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Distributions ,
"Recent 2.6 kernels have an option to enable/disable 4k stack size.
However, Fedora kernels disable this option altogether and use a 4K
stack size, which is not enough for some windows drivers. If you are
running a Fedora 2.6 kernel and your machine freezes after running
<tt>modprobe ndiswrapper</tt> as described in the [Installation] page,
you are probably using a driver that requires a stack sizegreater than
4K. Try installing the 16K stack kernel update fo Linuxant"
But I don't even get to that. I can create both userspace utilities and
kernel module for recent kernels.
But all of those says to me:
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper
(/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.724_FC3/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
In dmesg, I have
ndiswrapper: Unknown symbol task_nice
This is happening with latest kernels. In fact, every FC3/rawhide kernel
I tested have this issue. I've been able to use it with previous
versions of fedora though.
Is this a kernel, a fedora kernel, or a ndiswrapper issue?

Hardware upgrade & FC3?
by Arangel Angov
I have FC3 installed at the moment on a lucky star KT100 motherboard,
with 512SD RAM and AMD Athlon 1.4GHz proccessor. I just got a good deal
on a brand new Soltek motherboard, 512 DDR RAM and AMD Athlon 2.4GHz
processor. My question is, how will fedora handle this hardware upgrade,
first of all will it boot? The HDD an all other other hardware will
remain as they are.
I just don't want to try it before I ask someone.. don't want to do a
new install if not nessecary.
Thanks in advance.

Firefox inconsistency "bug"
by Cream
I have noticed a annoying thing about Firefox in FC3.
If you want to change your connection settings its Edit => Preferences
=> General
in Firefox for windows, its under Tools => Options => General
in Thunderbird for windows its under Tools => Options => Advanced
in Thunderbird for FC3 its under Tools => Options => Advanced
Why not move the Preferences item from Edit to Tools and call it Options?
(i dont know if this is in FC3 only or a general thing with Firefox for
linux)

That might explain random failures, but I'd find it hard to believe
that it would cause failures synchronized to the screen blanking.
But, I will try to check out that lead.

Redhat, not participating in Tsunami relief.
by Joel Juliano
This were just my observation, I tried a Google site search on tsunami
aid relief on Redhat, and blogs.redhat.com. And also I tried Oracle, I
could not see any pages about tsunami aid.
I know it's just a volunteer participation, this is not a force to
make contributions or aid. It's just... SCO, Apple and Microsoft have
one in their website.

How to make permissions on "/dev/nvidia" stick?
by Ernest L. Williams Jr.
Hi,
Following a reboot/powerup before starting doom3 or unreal; I have to
modify the permissions on the following files:
================================================================
[root@lion ~]# ls -l /dev/nvid*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Jan 15 23:41 /dev/nvidia
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 Nov 7 19:05 /dev/nvidia0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Nov 7 19:05 /dev/nvidiactl
================================================================
Does anyone know the trick to make this stick?
Following a reboot I must execute:
chmod o+rw /dev/nvid*
I am using "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run"
Thanks,
Ernesto
