x86_64: Some update issues
by Peter Boy
I startet to perform an update of an core 3 installation:
- My quite old monitor (NEC Multisync LCD 1700nx) still a "unknown
monitor"
- the upgrade process did not touch the MBR as it was told
- upgrade did mostly work: desktop ok, but all the open office icons
missing, desktop adopted to the new style / layout / menues
- while shutting down after finishing the installation a lot of warning
messages: GTK ..... deprecated
- xorg seems to be quite slow. After logging in the Gnome splash screen
is shown for a unusually long time ( > 1 minute)
some more serious problems:
- setfont complained about "input file: unrecognized characters at the
end of file" (translation of the German message), but no obvious problem
arised so far
- open office does not start (but crashes silently without any message)

FC4t1 messages log Can't set EGID to user GID
by Dwaine Castle
I've had very few problems with FC1 - 3. FC4 has presented me with a
challenge.
I normally would have not even tried to install the OS with a media check
error but what-the-hell.
Booting into init 5 won't work, Init 3 seems to work OK, but when I try to
change to runlevel 5 things get slow. Top shows a least 4 processes queued
in runlevel 5, compared to 0.17 in runlevel 3.
I've noticed a message in the message log that I wonder if anybody else is
seeing.
Fc gdm[2907] Can't set EGID to user GID
Last message repeated 59437
Last message repeated 119038
.
Millions of times
Could this account for the slowness that people are seeing?
Is this a PAM or SE problem that I can disable or fix?
Thanks.

evolution updates killed LDAP
by Shahms King
I just finished filing bug #150017, basically after updating to
evolution-2.0.4 and evolution-data-server-1.0.4 LDAP addressbooks
stopped working. At first, there was an error message about being
unable to connect, but after restarting evolution and e-d-s, the message
goes away but no results are ever returned from any query. The
addressbooks in question were working fine before the upgrade and I had
made no configuration changes when they stopped.
Running ldapsearch on the command line using the same parameters
evolution is configured with returns the expected results.

FC4T1 installation summary
by D Sievers
Hello All,
Here is my experience with test1 so far. I apologize if there is too
MUCH detail, but I've never really installed a test version before so
I'm trying to be helpful.
Using the 4 CD's, i386 on a Toshiba Satellite 1755 laptop
On boot
- Skipped mediacheck (in case anyone is curious, I have read of problems)
Anaconda (only minor things)
- Some icons did not appear until the mouse moved over them, at which
point they became visible. If I recall correctly, this was either on the
Choose Language or Choose Keyboard Layout screen, or both
- After the last package begins to install (this was at-spi), I was
prompted to change from CD#4 back to CD#2, which was already installed?
- During the "Post-Install Configuration", after the progress bar
reached the halfway point, there was about a 2-3 minute pause with no
hard disc activity before continuing
- The final screen where you are told "Congratulations & Reboot", the
text being presented spills off the side of the screen
-After clicking reboot, a screen full of GTK deprecation warnings
appears on the console before any TERM signals are sent.
Once the reboot is done, upon booting into FC, the graphical boot screen
tells me "Failed to bring up eth0"
- my /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 all look okay
- For the first time, during install I chose to "Enable firewall", but
I'm not sure how to disable it, or if that should have any effect
- Tried the following (Note: I have a Compaq PCMCIA ethernet adapter.
Worked fine in FC3.)
> cd /etc/init.d
> ./pcmcia restart
Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[2907]: watching 2 sockets
done
> ./network start
Bringing up loopback interface [OK]
Bring up interface eth0 [FAILED]
I haven't been able to do anything else (such as test the other patches
in devel tree) since I can't yum
Any ideas how to fix my ethernet?
Thank you,

Doug:
I had some similar problems on FC3 when I decided to
enable the NetworkManager service. If NetworkManager
is enabled in Services trying disabling it and then
restarting the network.
If this doesn't work turn it back on and forget I ever
mentioned this. :)

FC4t1 DVD mediacheck broken
by Aaron Kurtz
The mediacheck function for the FC4t1 DVD iso does not seem to work. The
SHA1 sums match (2e08d86311a291132dc3c1b40fa8383b354daf91) but I can't
seem to burn a good DVD. I tried to run mediacheck under vmware with the
ISO as the dvd, and it still didn't pass, although I had no problem
mediachecking other DVD isos using the same setup.
I have not tried the FC4t1 CD isos.

Bad iso image
by John Pearson
I have downloaded the dvd iso image for Fedora Core 4, test 1, etc. The
sha1sum hash on the completed torrent matches the published spec. The copy
of the same images hashes clean on the machine that I am using to burn the
image. [using Nero 5.5 under windows XP. All that is available here and
now.] I have made 3 dvd copies using different batches of blanks. None of
them passes the test. None of them produces a working machine. Although I
am able to install both FC2 and FC3 on the machine in question. Is there
something else that I can do or need to try?
