sound
by Gene C.
I just installed the 2.6.10-1.753_FC3smp kernel from FC3 Testing and my sound
is suddenly much louder! Previously I was running the 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp
kernel.
The sound device is:
02:00.0 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-768 [Opus] USB (rev
07)
The modules loaded are:
snd_intel8x0 33889 2
snd_ac97_codec 68513 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss 51573 0
snd_mixer_oss 21313 2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 89541 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 27077 1 snd_pcm
snd 54821 8 snd_intel8x0, snd_ac97_codec, snd_pcm_oss,
snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm, snd_timer
soundcore 12961 2 snd
snd_page_alloc 13509 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

ext2resize vs resize2fs
by Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha
The e2fsprogs src.rpm includes a version of ext2resize for the
ext2online tool, but the spec goes with resize2fs instead of ext2resize.
Why? Is resize2fs better tested/maintained than ext2resize?
I'm asking out of curiosity and because I get the following with e2fsck
after using resize2fs (for shrinking), and I wonder about the integrity
of my data:
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Block bitmap differences: -(54693--55331)
Fix<y>? yes
Free blocks count wrong for group #1 (0, conted=639).
Fix<y>? yes
Free blocks count wrong (645166, conted=645805).
Fix<y>? yes
Regardless, should I file a bug on resize2fs for the above?
Regards,
Luciano Rocha

OpenOffice broke: double-check before bugzilla
by Rodolfo J. Paiz
Hey, everyone:
I have the following RPM packages installed:
[root@rodolfo ~]# rpm -qa | grep openoffice | sort
openoffice.org-1.1.3-2.5.fc3
openoffice.org-libs-1.1.3-2.5.fc3
This update appears finally to have fixed a display problem wherein the
column headings disappeared, had artifacts, or were printed on odd parts
of the screen. Hopefully the fix is complete and permanent; well done!
However, at least one new problem have been introduced: the "paste"
command now does not actually paste; instead it inserts the cells you
paste, moving the rest of the cells in that column down. This is a
massive pain and really interferes with getting *any* work done. Now,
Edit->Paste Special works fine so I'm stuck using only that... but the
other 30 people in my office whom I converted to OOo are screaming
bloody murder.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is it a new bizarre configuration option
that was set to a badly-chosen default? Or is it a bug? I've looked
through Tools->Options, but nothing new strikes me.
Finally, if I need to bugzilla this at Red Hat, should I file it against
component "openoffice" or "openoffice.org"? They have both.
Cheers,

yum remove and cyclic dependencies
by Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha
Hello,
Yum (2.1.12-0.fc3) doesn't like cyclic dependencies on packages to be
removed and fails.

# rpm -e mysql

....
# rpm -e perl-DBD-MySQL

Also, yum remove ignores silently unknown packages passed as argument.
(And yum remove .... >& out outputs stderr before any stdout!)

OpenOffice update broke paging for spreadsheets
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
The late update for OOo seems to have broken paging for spreadsheets.
I have a spreadsheet that is 5500+ rows long, and I'm using the
pretty-print features of OOo to create a catalog. The latest FC3 update
of OOo broke the pagination of the output. Now it shows only 1! page of
output in page preview.
Should I bugzilla this at RedHat or at OOo?

Name resolution
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
For some reason, the newest FC3 (vanilla) box on my network can access
everything inside of the network (i.e. on the domains 192.168.2.xxx),
yet won't access anything on the outside world (I can't ping an IP
address or something like www.bbc.co.uk).
The firewall is switched off on the box and I don't have a firewall
running on my router.
The /etc/resolv.conf file has been hand-edited to have the DNS of my ISP
rather than trusting my router.
Any ideas on what is going on with it?
TTFN
