And we appreciate the space savings, especially over Ooo-1.1.3.
I might add that if you have attempted to install
openoffice.org-core-1.9.89-3 before removing the earlier version,
you will probably need to run the "additional cleanup step"
listed here:
rpm -e <all installed Ooo packages>
rm -fr /usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.8* # additional cleanup step
cd /var/cache/yum/development/packages
rpm -Uvh openoffice.org-*1.9.89-3*
By the way, some testers are getting the message
warning: openoffice.org-core-1.9.89-3:
Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8
You should consider importing some GPG keys into rpm:
cd /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3.90
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY*
(It seems that the installation can't do this
automatically.)

RE: Unable to update Openoffice.org-core in todays update
by Fred New
I can confirm Simon's originally-reported cpio error message
for the installation of OOo-core. It seems to be related
to the language pack changes since I get a similar
message for the Estonian language pack:
Updating : openoffice.org-langpack-et_E ####################### [37/97]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.89/share/template/et/wizard/bitmap:
cpio: rename
Curiously, the installation failure leaves
openoffice.org-core in an uninstalled status:
$ rpm -qa openoffice.org\*
openoffice.org-math-1.9.89-3
openoffice.org-langpack-et_EE-1.9.89-1
openoffice.org-graphicfilter-1.9.89-3
openoffice.org-impress-1.9.89-3
openoffice.org-writer-1.9.89-3
openoffice.org-calc-1.9.89-3
openoffice.org-draw-1.9.89-3
openoffice.org-xsltfilter-1.9.89-3
$
By the way, today's updates all seem to have GPG signatures.

Failed FC4-T1 install: kernel spin_lock something locks up hard
by Rodolfo J. Paiz
Hey:
I am failing to install FC4-T1 on a Dell Optiplex GXpro with a Pentium
Pro @ 200 MHz, 64MB of ECC RAM, 4.3GB drive, slow non-IDE non-bootable
CD-ROM, and built-in 3c905 Ethernet adapter. This machine is known as
Gemini on the LAN.
Gemini is my main test machine and gets reinstalled constantly. It
successfully installed FC1, FC2, and FC3 but barfs quickly on the
installer for FC1-T4. Before I go off half-cocked to Bugzilla, let me
ask you guys whether there's a known workaround and, if not, what
information I should supply to Bugzilla. Here's what I do:
1. Download and check with sha1sum all the ISO files. All pass.
2. Expand them into an install tree.
3. Copy .../3.90/i386/os/isolinux/vmlinuz and initrd.img into
Gemini's /boot. Modify /boot/grub/grub.conf to boot them.
4. Boot into the FC4-T1 installer.
5. Am prompted for language, keyboard, and install method. Select
"English," "us" or "us-acentos," and "FTP."
6. Get IP address via DHCP fine, then point to correct FTP directory
for network install. Download begins. If I leave everything alone, in
about 15 seconds I get the following error repeated a few dozen times
and then a hard lockup (after about one second of repeating errors):
" <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: kernel/sched.c:313: spin_lock
(kernel/sched.c:c04501c0) already locked by kernel/sched.c/313. (Not
tainted)"
7. In an effort to troubleshoot, I press Alt-F3 to get some sort of
progress indications. Stuff pages by quickly, but I'm able to see the
"ext3" and "xfs" modules being loaded just before a LOT of stuff gets
quickly thrown on-screen and these errors get repeated. Once the box
locks I get nothing at all from it.
So... can I work around this? Nothing found in Google, nothing found in
Bugzilla, no clue here. Or should I post to Bugzilla as a new bug? If
so, is there any additional diagnostic step to take so the bug filed is
more useful?
Help... :-)
Thanks,

Gnome opens wrong terminal
by Sean Earp
Hello All-
Just checking to see if I am the only one affected by the following
problem...
When logged into GNOME with a fully updated FC4T1, if I right-click on
the desktop and choose "Open Terminal", it is not GNOME Terminal that
opens up, but Konsole.
For that matter, it takes a good 7 or 8 seconds to launch the terminal
the first time (subsequent launches are instantaneous). I have not
changed anything specifying my default terminal (I wouldn't even know
how to if I tried). Can anyone else confirm this problem before I throw
it at Bugzilla for lunch?

/lib/tls will be no more in Fedora Core 4 Test 2 - updated instructions for Xen?
by Robin Green
In Fedora Core 4 Test 2, the /lib/tls directory has gone. Most
applications are linked to /lib/libc.so.6:
# ldd /bin/true
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00c72000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x001b6000)
and there is /lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/ for apps that need it.
What should we Xen users do now if we want to avoid triggering the code
that used to emulate unsupported stuff in /lib/tls? Do we have to do
anything?
