Why can only root mount zip, floppy, cd-rom drives?
by Gerry Tool 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I just made a fresh installation of FC3T2 Personal Desktop and installed all available updates. Unlike a previous install of FC3T2, I cannot mount any of these drives. What is the cause and how does a user get to mount them now? Thanks. Gerry Tool

xorg-x11-base-utils conflicts with xorg-x11-base-fonts
by TGS 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

When I update via yum, I am seeing an error message xorg-x11-base-utils conflicts with xorg-x11-base-fonts. Is the xorg-x11-base-utils package obsolete or something?

Recent Documents refresh problem
by John MacLean 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi, Having a problem with the Recent Documents off the main menu. Using gedit, OO.org apps, and whatnot update ~/.recently-used in a timely manner. However the 'Recent Documents' doesn't get updated (present test at 20 minutes). Running the file browser seems to trigger an immediate update. Selecting 'Clear Recent Documents' sets ~/.recently-used to 0 bytes but the menu not updated. Again the file browser triggers an update. What component would I bugzilla this against? -- John MacLean <john.d.maclean(a)mail.mcgill.ca>

Didn't get answer
by Andrius 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hello, I didn't get answer to my question. Is it problem unclear or unknown? In installation process of Fedora Core 3 test 2 for AMD64 I got such bug message "Bug: Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:471 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed." (after keyboard configuration). If I press cancel I can go through other steps, but when I got the same message when it is time to copy packages to disk and installation stops.

xorg-x11
by Paul F. Johnson 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi, Is it me, my machine or xorg-x11 which is up the wall? I can get to gdm, login and then nothing. Very little HD activity, it just sits there. I'm going back to the last version, but I'm having to use nodeps as well as oldpackage :-( TTFN Paul -- "If I face my God tomorrow, I can tell Him I am innocent. I've never harmed anyone.

Mouse lag in X
by xerces8 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi! I noticed that this still happens in FC3t2 : I click on a windows title, move the mouse and what happens is than a selection rectangle is drawn on the desktop, starting a few inches away from the real click position. See http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.0/1207.html for patch and http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/7/8/154 for a smallish discussion. This issue makes work under X a joke, please fix ! Regards, xerces8

Already running this as su.
