::1 or 127,0,0,1 - which is correct for FC7?
by Jim Cornette
I had mail to root be held up with no address when I used to have the
default entry for ipv6 which did similar. I changed it to 127.0.0.1 and
the errors went away. Now the errors returned with the ipv4 entry.
I am getting the similar error which the ::1 entry use to cause. This
problem seemed to start recently. Is something broken or was it changed
to only reference ipv6 entries now?
cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
HOSTNAME=cornette-dell-hdb
Edited /etc/hosts after error. Is this the correct entry or should
127.0.0.1 be there also?
cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
::1 cornette-dell-hdb localhost.localdomain localhost

FC 7 Test 3 fails to boot on Parallels Desktop
by Philipp Ott
Hello!
I have an Intel iMac with Parallels Desktop Build 3188 (product like
VMware) and run FC6 with the ata_piix driver. Trying out the test3
build of FC7 shows that
a) grub cant find the harddisk, choosing "Boot from local harddrive"
yields an error saying there is no harddrive to boot from. However
the harddisk image file is booting by itself fine into FC6.
and
b) the installer cant find a harddisk or the CDROM/DVD drive.
Following the install path I get the option to choose the install
source. When I take the CDROM/DVD drive option it asks me for the
driver. In this list I cant select ata_piix because it isnt there,
and the others dont work.

F7 Test3 USB drives are not mounted (again...)
by Guido Ledermann
Hello,
after my last update, the USB drives aren't mounted automatically any
more. I don't even see there icons in the panel to mount/unmount them. I
now use gnome-mount.i386 0:0.5-4.fc7.
Can anyone confirm this?

Permissions on USB devices
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I seem to be having a problem with the ownership of USB devices. If I
plug in my MP3 player, it's identified fine, but I'm unable to write to
it and even as su, cannot change the ownership of the device.
Any ideas on what's going on?
I'm on rawhide (x86 and x86_64) using the 3045 kernel.

BCM43XX Firmware in F7T3
by Christopher A. Williams
I've recently started having trouble with my Broadcom BCM43XX series
WiFi card on F7T3. I have historically used bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract
the firmware from my laptop's Windows drivers.
My laptop is a Dell D610 and I'm using the firmware that is included
with the latest available version of Windows drivers supplied by Dell
for this laptop.
I've extracted the firmware to /lib/firmware as usual, but now I get the
following errors at startup:
kernel: bcm43xx: Microcode rev 0x173, pl 0x425 (2006-10-04 21:02:04)
kernel: bcm43xx: Firmware: no support for microcode extracted from
version 4.x binary drivers.
kernel: bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-95)
I should also note that I continue to use the latest available rawhide
updates. This used to work with F7T2 and earlier. What has changed?
Cheers,
Chris

NFS mount problem on f7 from fc5
by Allen Kistler
Basically I can't mount an fc5 export on f7-test. Is anyone else seeing
this problem?
The error message I get in f7 is:
# mount -t nfs -v ack603:/var/ftp /mnt/nfs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on ack603:/var/ftp,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I mount my ftp directory from other machines (fc5, fc6) all the time.
/var/log/message doesn't contain anything at all on the error. The
error occurs straight "out of the box" (the test dvd) and after updating
everything to rawhide.
The export machine is fc5 with all the latest rpms. Portmap is running.
There is no netfilter to get in the way anywhere. Am I missing
something? Clues welcome.

Live Cd and AbiWord
by Gerry Tool
I just downloaded the Live CD and tried it out. I was surprised to see
AbiWord as the word processor. Just as it has been doing in the first two
test cycles, it immediately crashes. It seems like it would have been
preferable to not include any word processor instead of one that can't work.
I can't find the abiword package on the Prime DVD.

Request for Opinion: Bug or feature?
by Michael Wiktowy
Greetings listlings,
I had some time to install F7test3 from the LiveCD and jotted down a
bunch of issues that I encountered. None of them are particularly
Earth-shttering. I just wanted to pass them by the list to get some
feedback as to whether these are legitimate things worthy of a bug
report or just petty quibbles before I fill out a bunch of bugs that
end up just cluttering up bugzilla due to me being too pedantic or my
lack of understanding:
On Installation:
1) I can start liveinst multiple times simultaneously from the LiveCD.
I could see this leading to very bad things since I doubt that
anaconda was designed with running multiple installations on the same
box simultaneously in mind.
2) I can't exit out of the LiveCD installer easily. The close button
does not work and there is no obvious abort installation button.
2a) The few points where you can exit out (at beginning to initially
bail out of install and post install reboot) mention "Reboot" but it
doesn't actually reboot.
3) In the partitioning screen I get "RAID is not supported on this
platform" when clicking the RAID button. I don't know why since I was
under the impression that I could software RAID multiple partitions on
the same drive if I wanted (not that that would be sane).
4) The scroll wheel does not change magnification on the "select
nearest city in your timezone" map. I would be a better UI if it did.
5) The "Performing post-installation filesystem changes. This may take
several minutes ..." and the "installing bootloader" message are not
in regular message area and have no progress meter. They should be and
they should have. There doesn't seem to be any reason why they are
slapped over top of everything.
6) LiveCD is not automatically ejected on reboot. This is not specific
to post install but post using the LiveCD in general.
7) On shutdown after install, turning off swap denied by SELinux
7a) device busy cannot unmount errors when shutting down LiveCD after
install (maybe due to 7)
8) Beagle started silently indexing my system during the middle of the
installation causing the UI to seriously lag. It took a long time to
figure out what was going on and get the indexing preferences up to
turn off indexing.
On firstboot
9) Smolt message in first boot unclear "Sending your profile will
enable a monthly update." This needs more words of disambiguation. I
initially interpretted this as "Unless you submit to Smolt, no OS
updates for you!" ... then I realized that this was an insane
interpretation ... but those coming from Windows-world might not. Why
is there not three options: Send your Profile now, Send your Profile
Now and once every month, Don't send anything, Nosey!
10) Smolt privacy policy document not found when hitting the privacy
policy button.
In general:
11) RFE: Hardware browser in default LiveCD ... booting to a LiveCD to
check out what kind of hardware a machine has is a major usage case
for me. I would be happy even if the smoltGui was included in the menu
somewhere.
12) After installation, the bluetooth service caused SELinux to thrash
around violently since ithe bluetooth deamon really wanted to use dbus
and SELinux really wanted to not let it. While this was sorted out
with an update already I was thinking about how annoying this would be
if I didn't have access to updates right away. Is dbus access
equivalent to UDP in that you have to program a loop to get it to keep
trying to get some response?
Thoughts?
