Gnome failing on first login
by Andrew Commons
Hi,
I am setting up authentication using LDAP (using the 389 server). I create a
new user in the directory and then try and login. The home directory is
created but Gnome will not start and examining the home directory shows that
most (all?) Gnome related directories and files are missing.
My workaround, at present, is as follows:
(1) Create the user normally on the system.
(2) Login to the user and immediately log out.
(3) Remove the user from the system making sure I do not remove the home and
mail directories.
(4) Add the user into LDAP using the same username, UID and GID as the
temporary system user.
The login now works.
Is there a better way than this ugly kludge?
As an aside, I logged into the user for the first time using Switch User,
when I logged out and logged back into the original user I could not remove
the new user because there were still processes owned by the user running.
I'm not sure if this is a timing issue or something else. I logged out
completely and logged in again and all was OK. Any ideas on that as well?
Cheers,
Andrew

JFS native kernel support.
by Vitaliy T
Greetings all,
I was surprised by the performance JFS in Ubuntu 10.04 alpha on my
laptop. As I understand it everything is fine with the license and JFS
also works with SELinux. Why drop support for JFS from the kernel and
made it as a module? I do not want to argue about that JFS is better
or worse ext4/xfs/etc, I just want to know why when installing Fedora
12, I can not format the partition as JFS?
Thank you!

Re: APIC data ?? (Arne Chr. Jorgensen)
by Arne Chr. Jorgensen
hi,
I have copied DSDT and FADT from /proc/acpi to files, and
suppose this could be one way to get the data I was asking
about.
Now, I don't know what these tables are in fact.
( attempting to figure out some of that now )
Found some decompiler and issued
iasl -d fadt.dat
- and get something like this:

Are these table entries incorrect ? ( it may look like it )
If so, which one is wrong ?
Where is the original data ? My BIOS firmware ?
In fact, looking closer in my dmesg file:

-----------------
Here it seem to select the 32bit address.
Question: - if a wrong address would be used, then all sorts of timer related stuff may be
all very wrong, huh ?
Any comments ?
( Now, what the heck do ... )
Suggestions ?

Coredump files?
by Jonathan Allen
Hi All,
Where does F12 put it's core dump files? I've already done
limit coredumpsize 102400kbytes
and even when triggering a deliberate core with Ctrl-| no file appears
in the current working directory. Where else is it?

I have a fully patched version of KDE and still have no sound running fore

Any ideas .

yum localdowngrade option?
by Andre Robatino
In testing a new version of a package, I'd like to be able to switch
between older and newer versions without having to repeatedly download
either one. Yum can update using local RPMs with the localupdate
option, but I don't see anything like a localdowngrade option. Is there
another way to do this (other than erase and localinstall)? I'm asking
because
http://illiterat.livejournal.com/7834.html
claims that "there are no known reasons to use rpm instead of yum".
