mouse buttons stop working
by Bjørge Solli
Hi
System: Fedora 10 (both 32 and 64 bit)
I have a strange problem. The mouse buttons stop working suddenly and
without any obvious reason. The cursor works fine and the keyboard works
fine, but no clicking with the mouse. I have seen this on two machines
with two different users and four different usb mouses (both wireless
and cabled). I believe it is a software related problem. Any ideas?
I use Ctrl+Alt+Arrow buttons to switch desktops and it might be that
switching desktop is a common factor.
regards

rubygems on Fedora 10
by José Tiburcio Ribeiro Netto
Hello!
Those of you that are developing Ruby on Rails applications on Fedora 10,
installed rubygems from the rpm on the official Fedora's repository, or from
source (rubyforge.org)?
Are there any conflicts when using "gem install some_gem"? Or when executing
"gem update --system"?
Thanks.

campcaster on fedora?
by Dave Stevens
I hope the subject line is self-explanatory, but in case it isn't, does anyone
have Campcaster (radio station automation software) in an rpm? It seems the
default builds are .debs.

evolution email
by Harry R.
Oh well,
After trying for a couple of days to get Evolution NOT to return those infamous sync errors
that it has been doing for years, after reading a LOT on the Net about this and other evolution
problems, after trying to import my old mailboxes (does not work always, or actually, it almost
never works), after trying to get it to understand an Mbox layout, and doing evrything again
and again, it now freezes at random and even crashed at typing email number 2.
Evolution is I am sorry to say probably the most disappointing email client I have ever worked
with. Back to the basics.

Wow, again, the community comes with the MANsers! I'll post my specs when I
get in, but I'm shocked to see that Mozilla doesn't have much love for our
market. I assumed that since it was FOSS that it would give more love to
Linux, but I guess Windows has more pull than I thought. That's what I get
for ASSuming things. Reid, I look forward to "nightly" adventures... so
I'll look into the latest beta build too.
Oh and to confirm, it probably is my nVidia car. Ever since I've been
running this system and learning about Linux (9+ months), there has ALWAYS
been a common denominator... and that's my graphics card (nVidia GeForce
8600 GT). If I didn't need 3D support A LOT of my issues would have gone
away. Amazing how troublesome this awesome little graphics card has become
to FOSS users.

I'm not certain I follow how the ISP gets involved with the definition
of localhost in /etc/hosts, but I haven't seen any reason not to call
the lack of an IPv6 definition for localhost (specifically not
"localhost6") a bug and to try to get it fixed.
My inclination is to file a bug against the F11 alpha when it comes out
next week, since it's anaconda that creates the default file content. I
expect some resistance to change, but I can only hope that BZ doesn't
become the venue of a debate on it, though.

broken nis in rawhide?
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak
Is there some reason why rawhide's ypbind should fail to bind, if I have
nsswitch.conf =
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
<other stuff snipped>
This worked fine on F10, and it works OK if I downgrade to the F10
ypbind rawhide. But with the rawhide version, the nis server reports
errors like this:
Feb 2 14:15:28 server2 ypserv[2312]: refused connect from
192.168.0.89:56329 to procedure ypproc_match (nisavtech,shadow.byname;-1)
Has something changed with nis sharing of shadow password data?
