a bit of disaster - anybody knows what is going on?
by Michal Jaegermann
After today series of updates my x86_64 test box started seriously
misbehave. For example:
# iptables-restore /etc/sysconfig/iptables
*** glibc detected *** iptables-restore: free(): invalid pointer:
0x00002aaaaaac7150 ***
Aborted
# runuser -s /bin/bash - nobody -c mDNSResponder
*** glibc detected *** runuser: double free or corruption (out):
0x00002aaaaaac7650 ***
# service xfs status
xfs dead but pid file exists
and many other things. Some fail silently, other will complain
like above. Pointers indeed look a bit strange.
Interestingly enough /sbin/iptables-restore was installed
on 2004-Nov-12 and 'ldd /sbin/iptables-restore' shows only
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00000033f4b00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00000033f4600000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000033f4400000)
wher all three pieces were installed yesterday afternoon and a
machine was running, and rebooting, a few times without any
ill-effects until new rawhide packages were retrieved. 'rpm -V' does
not report any troubles neither for 'iptables' nor for 'glibc'.
A sudden hardware failure does not seem to be likely as another
Linux installation on the same box runs just fine. A swap space is
common to all installations. Booting older kernels also does not
change anything. Today packages look like the most probably cause
but I do not see on that list anything obvious. Oh, and x86 test
system, updated to the same level, is not doing anything strange.
I would file a bug report but I am somewhat at loss about what.
Anybody seeing something similar?

Printing problem with current OOo2 beta
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I seem to be having a printing problem with the current OOo2 rpms - it
seems to enjoy over printing certain items. Mainly oversized text. I can
provide a test case to explain if needed.

rawhide update problem
by Rob Shewan
Let me just try to state the obvious. It seems that gnome-panel is dependent
on two libraries from evolution-data-server. It isn't obvious why this might
be necessary but someone else might comment.
I removed all of the evolution packages in an attempt to incorporate the
large quantity of updates available. I could remove these without any
dependency problems. I have done a 'yum clean all' to ensure that there is
nothing left around to confuse yum.
I know that not everything I have done makes sense but I would appreciate
any constructive feedback anyone might have. I also realize that this is
rawhide and it just happens but maybe this information is useful to someone.

ETA on fixing OO bugs: no printers and weird paste?
by Rodolfo J. Paiz
Guys/gals,
Is there an ETA on fixes for OO doing really bizarre things when
pasting, as well as its inability to see any of the CUPS printers? I am
getting more and more heat from users around here... and just to have an
idea of progress would be nice.
Cheers,

New FC2/FC3 testing kernels.
by Dave Jones
kernel-2.6.10-1.13_FC2 and kernel-2.6.10-1.762_FC3 just got pushed out.
The only change here is a rebase to 2.6.10-ac12, which should fix
the problems a lot of x86-64 owners saw.
All being well, I'll get these pushed out to updates proper in a day or two.

Boot problem using recent boot.iso
by David Bentley
Having read a recent thread asking people to test the
current boot process prior to FC4 test 1 being
available I downloaded the latest boot.iso dated
08-Feb 2005 to see if I could get an install to work
on my Intel SE7505VB2 based server (on a spare disk as
master on the primary ATA channel) only to still get
the same result as with FC3 in that you get as far in
the boot process as seeing the LOADING sata_sil driver
and the system hanging with the message Disabling IRQ
#10 being displayed.
I gather from reading this list in the past that there
is a problem with sata support but had hoped that by
FC4 these problems would have been fixed.
