[FC4] RPM doesn't work after upgrade with odd error message
by Gilbert Sebenste
Hey gang,
Just did a "yum -y update" a few hours ago on a machine with FC4.
After that, whenever I type in yun (anything), I get:
> yum -y update
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/_rpmmodule.so: undefined symbol:
matchpathcon_init
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29)
[GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
---
The YumFaq doesn't help me, unfortunately. Anyone have any clues?

Adding icons to GGV menu
by Nimit Dhulekar
Hello everyone
I am making some changes to GGV. I have added a module that will allow you
to search on PS files. I need some verification that the changes I have made
aren't OS specific. I am attaching an XML file in which I have made some
changes to the layout of GGV (adding extra menu icons and toolbar
shortcuts). Please replace the XML file ' ggv-ui.xml' in the directory
/usr/share/gnome-2.0/ui
and reply back confirming whether you were able to see a menus called
'Search' and 'Add' and also toolbar icons 'Search' and 'Add Note'.
If you are unable to view any changes try replacing the file ggv-ui.xml in
the following directory
/usr/local/share/gnome-2.0/ui
I apologise for having to include the code at the end of the mail but it
just wouldn't allow me to send the mail with the attachment to this mailing
list.
I am presently running FC3 and the changes were reflected only when the
changes were made to the second path not in the first whereas my colleague
who is running FC2 could see the changes after replacing the file in the
first path.
Your urgent replies would be highly appreciated.
Nimit

I'm seeing similar behaviour, but with gnome-terminal. I've only
had a quick look using an xterm but that seems to be OK.

fglrx slower on FC5 than radeon?
by Jack Howarth
Has anyone installed the new xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.23.7-4.lvn5
and kmod-fglrx-smp-8.23.7-4.2.6.16_1.2080_FC5 yet? I find that these
drivers seem to slow the desktop performance of the machine. The
glxgears rate of the fglrx driver (set with the ati-fglrx-config-display
tool) is only 1500 fps compared to 1833 fps with the stock xorg radeon
driver. Beyond that the fglrx driver seems to make the machine much
less responsive (windows open slower, etc). Reverting back to the
radeon drivers was much more usable. Also I would note that the disable
feature of ati-fglrx-config-display is broken. It will set your xorg.conf
to the 'ati' driver and not the 'radeon' setting that is kept in the
xorg.conf.backup-ati-fglrx backup file. It also drops the...
Load "dri"
when you disable the fglrx driver and adds an Overlay line which wasn't
in the original. If you didn't make a backup of xorg.conf before
enabling the fglrx driver, you can revert back with the Display
control panel.

Theming grub/gdm/gnome
by wwp
Hello all,
is there a Fedora-related (or not) place to find Grub themes, GDM themes and
other GNOME themes?
I've installed FC5, then found that the gtk-engine redmond95 is no longer
installed, but would also like to get customized grub/gdm :).
Any links that you would recommend?
Regards,

Re: ATI fglrx driver ??
by Bill Case
Hi;
Quoting from mailing list entry from Livna on Mar 20:
"A note for users of ati-fglrx and nvidia-glx: The drivers currently
don't work with the FC5 release kernel due to a bug in it. A updated
kernel that should fix this issue should be pushed as a regular Fedora
updated soon."
Is it true the fglrx driver doesn't work? Now what do I do?
I am currently downloading (very slowly) by BitTorrent the FC5 .isos.

RE: Can't open display:

Bob,
You are on to something. My ps -ef does show that nolisten was passed to
the command stream. Now, the question is, where do I go to modify this
