Migrate stored Mozilla passwords.
by Sam Varshavchik 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

I can't figure out how to migrate all my stored passwords in Mozilla 1.4, on FC 1, to another machine, Mozilla 1.6 on FC 2. Even if I copy all of ~/.mozilla it doesn't work, in fact Mozilla won't start because the structure of the ~/.mozilla directory has changed. I had no luck Googling for it. Even if I remove the master password, it looks like the format of *.s files has changed between 1.4 and 1.6, so copying over just the *.s files didn't work: hitting 'manage stored passwords' locks up Mozilla.

CALL FOR TESTING: ttfonts-ja
by Akira TAGOH 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

Hi, the testing package of ttfonts-ja is available on http://people.redhat.com/tagoh/sazanami/ which contains Sazanami fonts so-called Japanese TrueType font. I need some feedbacks to replace Kochi Gothic and Kochi Mincho to Sazanami Gothic and Sazanami Mincho which the upstream has released. and Kochi fonts won't be maintained by the upstream anymore. you can get the testing package against yum or apt. please add the below for yum. [sazanami] name=Sazanami font testing baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/tagoh/sazanami/ and for apt rpm http://people.redhat.com/tagoh sazanami sazanami rpm-src http://people.redhat.com/tagoh sazanami sazanami Well, kochi-gothic-subst.ttf and kochi-mincho-subst.ttf is being removed from the testing package. so you will see the problem unless you modify /etc/fonts/fonts.conf at least. you can modify it as the following: sed -e 's/Kochi/Sazanami/g' /etc/fonts/fonts.conf > /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.new \ && mv /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.old \ && mv /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.new /etc/fonts/fonts.conf If you find the applications which doesn't work with those fonts or any problems on the fonts, please let me know. Thanks, -- Akira TAGOH

Everyone- >I did just that on my new computer: after installing FC2 and creating >the user acount, I copied all of .mozilla from my old computer (which >had FC1) before starting mozilla, and all my settings were there. >One thing that will be important is that username and home directory are >unchanged, since these appear in various places in mozilla's >configuration files. > >I have no idea why it worked for me and not for you, unfortunately. could it have something to do with the fact that inside ~/.mozilla/profilename there exists a randomly generated folder name (ending always in .slt) which contains the important files? e.g. i use the "default" profile. so, my bookmarks (bookmarks.html) and preferences (prefs.js) are stored in "/root/.mozilla/default/gccurl7j.slt". on a previous installation (before my hard disk failed) they were stored in a different randomly generated folder (i think it was "/root/.mozilla/default/sl8kut1k.slt") even though the mozilla version remained the same for both installs. not a big deal, i admit, but it does require a bit of care when backing up these two files. unfortunately, i do not know where the passwd's are stored so i'm only guessing that this could be the problem. mark. :-) p.s. i have no idea why mozilla was implemented this way but it's easy to work around. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

OOo and fonts
by Paul F. Johnson 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hi, Since the last update of OOo, the fonts used in OOo seem somewhat screwed. What program do I need to run to get the fonts working correctly again? It only seems to be OOo which is affected.

problem booting kernels 456 459
by hab 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

This is with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mother board with Maxtor drives hooked to the SATA controller. Your default config with these kernels causes some type of driver conflict resulting in a Disk hang and failure to complete bootup. linux-ide list suggested that I don't include the siimage driver. I tried this but it didn't clear the problem. I have successfully built and use 2.6.7 bk12 but if I apply your .config even with siimage removed it still won't boot. Thanks Hubert

still scsi problems - Adaptec - scsi0: Someone reset channel A
by Götz Reinicke 28 Jun '04

28 Jun '04

Hi, I still have big trouble with my Dell Poweredge 1650 and an Adaptec 29160 with an external Hardware 1 TB Raid-box. The linus distri is Fedora Core R2. If I try to copy files to or from the raid local or via smb, scp or nfs the copyprocess stopps for some seconds with a lot of errors in the logs. I checked all cabels and terminators also the scsi-bios-settings of the controller. I tried different kernels from 2.6.5 (original FC2) to 2.6.7-development single cpu and smp - the problemm is still the same. Amy ideas?? I cann post the complete error log if this would be of use...

Firewire Support
by Perera, Nelanka 28 Jun '04

Do I basically have to use the 2.4 kernel if I need firewire working? I understand its disabled in the 2.6 kernel that ships with FC2. Nelanka

USB Mouse not working
by Stan Bubrouski 28 Jun '04

28 Jun '04

Hey, I've got a friend with a Logitech Optical USB mouse that won't work in the console or in X in FC2. The wierd thing is that it works in the installer but not once the system is loaded. I've checked and the correct USB driver is loaded. This is with a default FC2 kernel. I can't remember the model # of the mouse offhand but I remember that is a VERY common mouse. I can't figure out why it works in anaconda but not post-installation. Can anyone shed some light? -sb -- Stan Bubrouski <stan(a)ccs.neu.edu>
