No Nautilus Scripts
by Clifford Snow 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

I can not find Scripts in Nautilus 2.4.0-3. I've added scripts to .gnome2/nautilus-scripts but I don't even get a menu choice for scripts. (File - Open Scripts...) Running 9.0.93 Severn Is this a bug or am I missing some preference? Thanks, Clifford Snow glass-art(a)comcast.net

Is there a standard procedure? Until all the new infrastructure is in place for the red hat sponsored fedora...look at submitting to the the repositories at www.fedora.us. Fedora.us will be merged into the new iteration of the fedora project, but it will take a little time. Until the merger is complete, if you want to contribute packages and be a part of maintenance and QA of add on packages, work with the www.fedora.us group. -jef"really tired of dealing with fortran"spaleta

Hi, I have been maintaining a couple of programs for some time and was wondering how I could get those RPMs added to the feodora list of packages. Is there a standard procedure? Thanks, David Kaplan

Missing module char-major-188
by Charles Curley 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

I seem to be missing a module from Fedora Beta 2. On boot, I get: Sep 29 10:26:37 issola modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-188 Sep 29 10:26:41 issola last message repeated 15 times Sep 29 10:26:42 issola cups: cupsd startup succeeded in my /var/log/messages. When I try to use a printer (using cups), I get similar messages. The printer is defined as a Unix lpd printer, and works from other machines with appropriate permissions. However, the zinger is I can't find the package to which it belongs. If I run: find mnt/CHARLESC/jukebox/severn.disc*/ -iname *.rpm -print -exec rpm -qlp {} \; | grep char-major-188 I get nothing. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?

useNoSSLForPackages and other badly-conceived options (notice non-hijacked thread!)
by Paul Gear 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

As the subject says, i think 'useNoSSLForPackages' is rather badly conceived. Whenever i see an option that has the word "No" or "Don't" in it, alarm bells ring in my head. This is a recipe for confusion. Can we get future versions of the option renamed to "useSSLForPackages"? (I would make it off by default, too, since many packages are rather large and some of us still pay a lot for bandwidth.) I suppose i should bugzilla this... -- Paul http://paulgear.webhop.net A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right. Q: Why should i start my reply below the quoted text?

Does anyone > have any feedback for getting the installer to actually, well, install? A couple of things... First maybe you should move any test release specific technical issues to fedora-test mailing list. I'm sure there are some people who cross read the two lists...but i bet more seasoned testers read fedora-test. Second have you read the release notes for the test release fully? Just becuase you have to disable some feature for the installer to work does not mean those features are disabled for good. Example the Sony laptop issue as stated in the Release notes.If there is a problem with the kernel or whatever for your lappy, that prevents the use of these devices even after install. Not much you can do, except file the bugreport..follow up on the report with information as requested from the developer and try any updated kernel(or other packages) that are created to attempt to fix your problem. If disabling devices for boot...gets it installed...then do exactly that, then file the bug reports and wait for bug fixes to roll out for you to test. -jef"just be glad the install work around doesn't involved a crowbar and jumper cables"spaleta

Installation Freeze
by Josh Holtzman 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

I am tring to install fedora on my Sager 4760 laptop, and it freezes immediately after hitting [enter] during the first step of the install. I've heard things like disable the USB or Firewire with boot parameters, but I want to be able to use these devices once linux is installed! Does anyone have any feedback for getting the installer to actually, well, install?

Is firewall yes/no really honoured?
by Jos Vos 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi, After a fresh Fedore test 2 install I saw the firewall was enabled. I always choose disable firewall during installs, but of course I'm now not *100%* sure anymore that I did it also this time. Anyone else seeing that a firewall is enabled even when choosing no firewall during installation?
