Mouse Wheel gone
by Christian Menzel
Since the latest xorg-X11 upgrade I receive the already mentioned XKB
error and the mouse wheel is not working anymore.
Has anybody seen this behavior?

I have the same symptoms...
rpcinfo says that nfs et.al. are running.
Something has changed in test 2, since the same PC running RH9
accesses that host just fine.

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik
I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken;
and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what
exactly needs to be fixed.
Consider something like this:
LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS"
AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no))
Here's what happens on x86_64:
gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5
/tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main':
/home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to
`res_query'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:5147: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
[ blah blah blah ]
| /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
| builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
| char res_query ();
| int
| main ()
| {
| res_query ();
| ;
| return 0;
| }
The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work.
The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64
in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't
need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC
does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype.
So, what now?

Desktop Development Specialization
by Joel Juliano
What if Fedora Core development was divided in two divisions, the
GNOME division and the KDE division, the releases will be available to
be GNOME-only or KDE-only releases on seperate iso's, the GNOME ISO
will specializes only on GNOME softwares and applications. There will
be a micro-managed bug fixing for GNOME-only related softwares, the
effort will be concentrating on much more focused approach than the
traditional (hybrid ISO's), same to the KDE ISO, wherein include a
KDE-only related (or specialized) softwares and applications.

[ANNOUNCE] Aurora Build-1.92 (Code Name Tangerine)
by Tom Callaway
Hi folks,
We now have a full set of sparc packages that match up to Fedora Core 2,
and its name is Tangerine. Did you know that of the top ten hits for
Tangerine on Google, none of them have anything to do with the fruit?
You should eat more tangerines, they're quite tasty and good for you.
But I digress.
Like the previous release (1.91), its not an installable tree
so again this means no ISOs.
I'm going to repeat this one more time: THERE ARE NO ISOS FOR 1.92.
Why? Because anaconda is hard, and people didn't want to wait another 6
months for me to figure out what is broken. However, if anyone is willing
to try on their own to get this working, we're happily accepting patches.
But, unless someone else takes up the charge, this tree branch will stop
at 1.92. If someone fixes anaconda so that the installer actually works past
keyboard selection, I'll spin a new tree.
In the meantime, we're refocusing the effort on a new tree, which is
currently going to be based on Fedora Core 3. You can follow the daily
notes for this work here: http://auroralinux.org/journal.php
Now, I have yumified the tree, so if you're feeling really brave, you
can always point yum at it, and try to upgrade that way. A version of
yum for Aurora 1.0 is here:
http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/1.0/yum-1.0.3-1_73.noarch.rpm
If you're running 1.91, you should be able to use the yum in that tree.
Going from 1.91 to 1.92 is reportedly a fairly painless process.
If you're a listed mirror site, please sync the build-1.92 directory,
and chime in. The primary directory is currently at:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/aurora/build-1.92/ (and)
ftp://auroralinux.org/pub/aurora/build-1.92/
Now, for the known bugs:
The "rpm" package in 1.92 is a little broken on sparc32 systems. Its my fault.
Fixed packages are already available from:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/aurora/updates/1.92/ (and)
ftp://auroralinux.org/pub/aurora/updates/1.92/
A temporary workaround is to run: export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5.
Build 1.92 uses SILO 1.4.8 which should work fine. It seems to occasionally
burp when you're trying to tab completion, but I can't reproduce this
consistently. If it breaks for you, let me know.
There is no SMP kernel for sparc32, upstream has marked this as broken.
Any other bugs that you find? Please either email me or file them in
bugzilla.auroralinux.org, under Corona.
Last but not least, we've setup a hardware support matrix Wiki to keep track
of what works and what doesn't. You can find it here:
http://auroralinux.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?HardwareCompatibility
Thanks for your continued patience and support,

Crappy fonts
by Orion Poplawski
Is it just me, or do the fonts in FC4/development look crappy (compared
to FC3 in particular)? Particularly in kconsole (default) and as I type
now in thunderbird (default I think - "monospace").
I've set lang to "en_US" from "en_US.utf8" to avoid acroread issues, not
sure if that affects this.

Kernel or Grub
by Don Casey
OK, I have found a very reproducible issue on my system. Don't know for sure
if it is a Grub issue or Kernel. I believe that it is Grub because I have
four Kernels on my system and all produce the same response now.
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

Problems with Xen (kernel-xen0-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4) and Intel Corporation 82562ET/EZ/GT/GZ Ethernet
by Keith Sharp
Hello,
I have been trying to get Xen working with the most recent kernel builds
from Rawhide. When I boot using Xen and kernel-xen0 the network fails
and I get tracebacks on the console.
Booting starts as expected but starting eth0 seems to take a little
longer than normal. The problems begin when NTP is started, booting
pauses here for quite a few seconds and then a traceback appears.
Booting eventually continues with these pauses and tracebacks. When the
system is finally up I can login is root and the network appears to be
up (according to ifconfig) but I cannot ping any other local devices and
the RX and TX values for eth0 remain at zero.
Attached is a console log from booting - the interesting stuff is
towards the end, the output of lspci, and my grub.conf
I am running FC4T1 with kernel and xen updated from Rawhide:
kernel-xen0-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
kernel-xenU-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
The Ethernet port works fine under the standard SMP kernel.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Keith.

Install FC4 test2 on PPC - Dual Proc G5?
by Joe.Hoot＠itec.suny.edu
I just downloaded the fedora core test2 for ppc. I rebooted my PPC Dual
G5. I was prompted by yaboot and hit enter to except the default kernel
"linux." The kernel starts to load and then dies. I shutdown the machine
and started it back up and at yaboot, typed linux nofb. It started to
load again and then died again. Here is the output when it stops booting:
opening display /pci@0,fd000000/NVDA,Parent@10/NVDA,Display-B@1... ok
copying 0F device tree...done
starting cpu /cpus/PowerPC,G5...failed: 0000000

All Rights Reserved.
Welcome to OPen Firmware, the system time and date is: 16:49:16 04/21/2005
To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return.
To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return.
Release keys to continue!
Any suggestions? Is this a problem with booting dual proc g5's? Is there
any way to disable SMP with a kernel parameter that can be passed so that
I can install the system? Is there an SMP kernel available to boot? Is
the dual proc the issue I am having or is it something else?
Thanks,
Joe
