Firefox opening broken links when clicking on a link in Thunderbird
by thomas cameron 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

All - I'm running F10 x86_64, up to date as of today. My home directory is on NFS, and my .mozilla directory is the same one I've used on RHEL 5 and F9. When I click on a URL in an e-mail message in Thunderbird, it opens wrong. For instance, I get an e-mail with the link http://www.yearone.com/images/email/c146/turkeydayemail.html and I click on it. Firefox opens up file:///images/email/c146/turkeydayemail.html and throws a File Not Found error. It seems that the web site is being trimmed for some reason. Anyone seen this before? Know how to fix it? -- Thomas

SELinux alert when running yum update
by Colin Paul Adams 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

After upgrading my system from F9 to F10 I ran a yum update. The following occurred: Summary: SELinux is preventing npviewer.bin (nsplugin_t) "search" to ./.fontconfig (unlabeled_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by npviewer.bin. It is not expected that this access is required by npviewer.bin and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for ./.fontconfig, restorecon -v './.fontconfig' If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Firefox3 navigation toolbar issues (F8, remi repos)
by wwp 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hello there, using Firefox 3.0 as well as 3.0.4 installed on my Fedora 8 from Remi repos, I noticed that my changes to the navigation toolbar are not taken into account at next restart (as if they were not saved). It's even not needed to restart Ffx3 to see this behaviour: add a button to the navigation toolbar, then do File/New Window. The new window's navigation toolbar will show up default buttons instead of your custom choice. Does anybody encounter a similar issue? Regards, -- wwp

installation F10 fails at early stage
by Peter Lesterhuis 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

In an earlier post I mentioned that I could not install F10 on a new box (Packard Bell). I created a new partition. A short time after inserting the installation DVD (or the live CD), the proces stops. I can see the media verification check, then the message that anaconda is running and then ..... nothing. I created an USB-stick with the live CD iso-image, booted from it, and again it is stopping soon after the beginning. Did some googleing but could not find similar problems. Would there be another way of installing F10 on this new system? Would it be possible to format the new partition into VFAT using the Disk Management tool of Vista, then copy the live-cd-iso-image to it and then boot from this new partition? Are there alternatives? Thanks in advance. Peter

F10/Wine: DVD drive not accessible
by Richard Shaw 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I just installed wine and can't access the DVD drive. I've cleared out all of the drives in winecfg and did autodetect which seemed to correctly find my drive as "/dev/sr0" but when I run file explorer and click on the D: drive it says "Path not found". Any wine experts out there? I've searched google but this worked fine under F8 with the default settings. Most of what I found had to do with creating a consistent mount point, but I didn't have to do this under F8. Richard

Warning: rpmfusion nvidia driver needs a special xorg.conf setup.
by linux guy 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Some of you may know this, but I didn't and thus I'll share what I learned. The rpmfusion nvidia driver needs a special xorg.conf file. It might not operate properly with a file that previously operated properly with say a livna sourced driver. Specifically, it needs this to be present: Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" EndSection Right now I am unsure if the xorg or nvidia xorg.conf configuration tools will put both these lines in the xorg.conf file. I doubt they do, actually. You can read more about this issue here: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197 I hope this helps someone.

Contact for mirror list maintainers
by Danny Ciarniello 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Does anyone know how I can contact the mirror list maintainers? The mirror that I get the most, http://less.cogeco.net, seems to be down since I keep getting timeouts: http://less.cogeco.net/ftp/fedora/linux/updates/10/x86_64/repodata/repomd.x…: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> http://less.cogeco.net/ftp/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/x86_64/os/re…: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out> http://less.cogeco.net/ftp/fedora/linux/updates/10/x86_64/repodata/repomd.x…: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (104, 'Connection reset by peer')> This does not seem to be a temporary issue since I have not been able to access the server since I installed F10. Since I seem to get cogeco better than 90% of the time, it is more than a little problematic. Thanks, Dan.
