Can someone confirm that the new odt file format for OOo in rawhide is not getting the correct mime associations?
by Jef Spaleta
Running rawhide, using openoffice.org-writer-1.9.82-1 the new
default file format is
"Open Document Text" aka "odt"
My gnome desktop running nautilus is not automagically associated
openoffice as an application to use for these files. In fact the only
application nautilus associates for me is archive manager.
Can someone confirm this?
written oowriter create a "odt" file.. this should be the default
file type now... and examine what applications nautilus associates
with this filetype.

aRTs Engine dying after KDE 3.4rc1 update
by Botoaca Andrei
I had this problem since KDE3.4 was out. Every tool based on the so called
"aRTs engine" like Juk and amaroK die on start, leaving a blody trail of "no
debug info found" in the crash manager of KDE.
Anybody any ideea why this crash occurs, and if so, does anyone know also a
remedy for it ?
Thank you,
Andrei

Good results with NetworkManager 0.3.4 from updates-testing
by Per Bjornsson
Hi,
After using NetworkManager 0.3.4 from FC3 updates-testing for about a
week I figured that since I haven't even seen an announcement of the
updates-testing version, I'd just volunteer a positive review here. It
seems to fix pretty much every problem I used to have with
NetworkManager (which were mostly related to irreproducible
flakiness/random crashing and seemingly over-aggressive scanning - the
new one seems much better in both aspects).
0.3.4 feels like a big step forward in stability and I think it seems
quite ready to be released as a "real" update, at least if others have
similar experiences.
Cheers,
Per

Detritus from Lynx in $HOME
by Janina Sajka
I continue to use lynx for web browsing. Somewhere between Fedora 2 and
Fedora 3 my $HOME began showing lynx cache files--which really belong in
/tmp, I should think. I'm loathe to understand why or what to do to afix
this. I see nothing in /etc/lynx* or my ~/.lynxrc that indicates the
following should land in $HOME:
L14478-1013TMP.html.gz
L14478-242TMP.html.gz
L14478-1161TMP.html.gz
L14478-1227TMP.html.gz
L14478-1220TMP.html.gz
L14478-329TMP.html.gz
L14478-1118TMP.html.gz
L14478-36TMP.html.gz

L14478-1066TMP.html.gz

Any thoughts?

Starange USB Problem
by David McCormick
I have a Athlon 64 bit machine running both 32 bit and 64 bit FC-3 on
separate hard drives. I just got a HP laptop with an Athlon xp-m chip
and loaded FC-3 32 bit on it. I have a USB Zip-100 drive and a Logitech
cordless USB mouse. Both of these operate fine on the 64 bit machine
with both the 32 bit and 64 bit OS's. On the laptop they work sometimes
but most otf the time they don't. I looked through the archives but so
far haven't found anything. Does anyone have an idea about this
behavior. I think it might have to do with the mobile chip.

friday night, i installed weeks worth of stuff w/yum including fc3 770
kernel and on reboot connection stopped working. dhcp would work, but
everything else was host not reachable. i rebooted with previous two
kernels and still no network connection. something else in the updates
eliminated the default routing for 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.
i edited network configuration and added it to static route ... and then
the next time, it said that default static route wasn't supported ...
but at least it got rid of the host not reachable.

Strange problem With Fedora Core 3 and dual monitor
by Fedora
Hi.
I have a portable Dell Inspiron 8500 with a video card ATI Radeon
Mobility M9.
I have the latest kernel and patches installed.
I Work with the multiple monitors configuration (the one from my
portable and a separate monitor connect to my portable).
I configure KDE to work with 2 monitors.
I have two problems
1- When I start my portable with the separate monitor connected to it,
the system freeze when HAL start.
If I disconnect the second monitor and restart the computer and wait
for the computer to be ready to work,
I can reconnect the monitor, activate the combo (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE)
to restart X and all work
as expected. I think this is a problem with udev???
2- I wish to put the second monitor to my left but Fedora don't let my
configure that. Any Idea???
Thanks for Your Great Work
