The fonts now are too obscure to see after updating today.
by 肇鑫 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Greeting everyone. I update the XFree86 to 4.3.0-42 today. I notice that the fonts change a lot now. However, I think they are worse than before. If you are somebody like me, who choose Chinese as default, you will find the characters become so obscure now. I believe that if this is still existed, fedora should not be released. I use a notebook with 14.1 @ 1024*768. So I try to reset fonts using LCD mode in font setting. But it seems no changes happened. So please chech-out want is wrong in that. Thanks. Best wishes. huhu _________________________________________________________________ 与联机的朋友进行交流，请使用 MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn

Menu-editing in RedHat 9 * To enable menu editing per user config (via nautilus), you need to open a terminal and do the following: su - <give root password> cd /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules cp default-modules.conf default-modules.conf-no-menu-editing cp default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing default-modules.conf For any user you want to have the right to edit their menu, you also need to do this as the user: cd ~/.gnome2/vfolders cp /etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu applications.vfolder-info * When gnome-panel is restarted (via logout/login or kill) the user will be able to see the changes they have made to their menu. Enjoy, -ry

internet not working with arjan's 2.6 testkernels
by Tim Kossack 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

i'm using the arjan (hope that's spelled right) testkernels with rh9/xd2 on my sony pcg-z600lek notebook, but all kernels newer than 2.6.0-0.test5.1.36 seems to have problems connecting to the internet. my notebook is connected to a sitecom-router, and in this way (plus another switch connected to the sitecom-router) also to 6 or 7 windows-pcs. interestingly, i can connect to them via smb/nautilus and can copy files from them to my pc with the new(est) testkernel running, but when i want to fetch my mails via evolution or to browse with galeon, the resp. program tries to connect, but there seems to be simply no data coming. after a while, in galeon, i get the "timelimit"-error-message. note that when booting, i get the green "ok-message" for eth0 and again, i can copy files from other computers in my network flawlessly... my notebook's built-in network-adapter is a widely used intel (pro?)-chipset (sorry for not knowing the exact type, if needed, i'll try to find out the exact type). so my question-is this a known thing, and is it fixable from my side-or a bug in the (newer) kernels? thanks for any help!

so ... how do i get a graphical boot?
by Robert P. J. Day 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

i realize that the graphical boot has been discussed on numerous occasions, but frankly, i've never seen one on my system (currently running FC3). how do i get one? (at the moment, i see the standard line-oriented boot i've seen for years). i've verified that /etc/sysconfig/init contains BOOTUP=color GRAPHICAL=yes i've perused /etc/rc.sysinit and the conditions look like they'd be satisfied. /usr/bin/rhgb is there. the file /proc/cmdline does not contain the string "nogui". so what am i missing? i figured it would be nice to see this graphical boot thingie at least once. rday

Build emacs from sources fails on compiler
by Harry Putnam 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Setup: test3 updated to 10/28 (athlon-tbird (1.3gh) I remember seeing some mention of emacs problems awhile ago here. Trying to compile emacs from cvs sources fails with these error messages: [root@exp emacs]# ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

ok, graphical boot, one more time
by Robert P. J. Day 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

all right, i have some intriguing observations to report. but first, i want to settle this "rhgb" boot-line option. can someone point me to where this option has any effect *at* *all*? i have gone over these two files: /etc/sysconfig/init /etc/rc.sysinit and it *appears* that whether or not you get a graphical boot is tested in /etc/rc.sysinit, and is based *solely* on the following: RHGB_STARTED=0 GRAPHICAL=yes BOOTUP=color access to /usr/bin/rhgb there is, AFAICT, no test *anywhere* that looks for the option "rhgb" on the boot line. OTOH, the file /etc/rc.sysinit *does* check for the boot-line option "nogui" to *prevent* the graphical boot. so ... who wants to explain how the option "rhgb" means anything, and where it's tested. in short, i see "nogui" to prevent a graphical boot if it's turned on. i see no "rhgb" test to activate a graphical boot if it's turned off. second, if you check /etc/rc.sysinit, whether you get a graphical boot early depends on whether /usr is a separate filesystem. if it is, you can't get a graphical boot since /usr/bin/rhgb isn't even available yet. so that first conditional is skipped early in the file. however, the whole test is done again around line 560 where, by now, /usr is mounted and it should work. at least, that's the theory. in my case, though, what i get when the line "/usr/bin/rhgb" is run is umount2: Invalid argument. umount: /initrd: not mounted. printed twice. what the ...? i'd seen these crop up recently and was planning on tracking them down at some point, but it never occurred to me to associate them with the second invocation of rhgb. can anyone explain what these mean? that might go a long way to clearing this up. well, at least for me. rday

gmix vs xmms
by Christoph Wickert 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Hi there! I have trouble with xmms. Sometimes I can't change the volume in xmms, only gmix works. Only happens in gnome, kde works fine. When I open gmix it sometimes changes the volume: xmms is already running and I've increased volume, it's decreased by gmix loading it's settings. Anybody else seeing this? I think, the volume levels should be restored at login, not on gmix startup. Never had this problem before, only on fedora. Christoph -- Christoph Wickert <christoph.wickert(a)web.de>

[Bug 105979] kernel-source Makefile uses gcc not gcc32
by S. Cowles 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

I raised a problem with kernel compiles in an addendum to bugzilla bug 105979. It was pointed out that the problem (shown below) is caused by a workaround to kernel 2.4 build system limitations. Does anyone know a simple way to get the 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl kernel to build in Fedora 095 on the i386 platform? This is a bare-metal install of 095. The problem I'm having is shown here: # cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl # make clean # make mrproper # make menuconfig # make dep # make ... ar rcs lib.a checksum.o old-checksum.o delay.o usercopy.o getuser.o memcpy.o strstr.o make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl' kallsyms pass 1 ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o --start-group arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o drivers/acpi/acpi.o drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/char/drm/drm.o drivers/net/fc/fc.o drivers/net/appletalk/appletalk.o drivers/net/tokenring/tr.o drivers/net/wan/wan.o drivers/atm/atm.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/cdrom/driver.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/net/pcmcia/pcmcia_net.o drivers/net/wireless/wireless_net.o drivers/pnp/pnp.o drivers/video/video.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/md/mddev.o drivers/isdn/vmlinux-obj.o crypto/crypto.o net/network.o /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/arch/i386/lib/lib.a --end-group -o .tmp_vmlinux1 kernel/kernel.o(.text+0xfc3): In function `schedule': : undefined reference to `active_load_balance' make[1]: *** [kallsyms] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2 03-10-31 10:44:26 [122] bubo10:src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl#

Schedule slip
by Michael K. Johnson 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

We had to respin FC1 today for a non-technical issue (that's all I can say, sorry), which resets the clock for release. We have to start over again with the export process, and I don't think they work weekends, so we have to slip until after we hear back from them and then sync to mirrors. Wednesday the 5th is slightly possible, a day later more likely. We did at least pull in a few technical fixes as well whil we were at it.
