Evo messages don't refresh when deleting

2009-12-14 Thread Mike Chambers
Rawhide system upgraded from F12+updates as of today..

If you go to a folder and on the right side on top of the preview pane,
and click on an email and delete it, at times (although it seems not
every time, and maybe random), the next email isn't refreshed and/or
isn't shown on the bottom of the preview pane.  In other words, it
stills shows the body of the deleted email and not the new one.  But if
you were to click on a different email without deleting the one you just
left, it shows the correct email/body.

Anyone else seeing this?

Datacenter, git, and cvs

2009-12-14 Thread Mike Chambers
If I understand what is happening now (and over the past weekend), the
datacenter machines are moving to a new location, AND the package
building is moving from cvs to git (will be, or already in process)?

If so, mainly the git move, will we as users/testers/etc notice any
changes - via emails sent out, koji and the like - or is it all mostly
behind the scenes and package maintainers and the like will be the ones
who are affected?

Guess a summary of what to expect once it's all GO?

Have you also updated your system since the install to make sure you any
included fixes/updates that didn't make it to final release?

Dell wireless chipset

2009-11-08 Thread Mike Chambers
I have seen on some Dells (as well as my brother's new one yesterday),
that their wireless chip just says "Dell wireless" (give or take a
word/number or two).  What actual chipset/driver does that use and does
it work with Fedora out of the box?

Sorry for asking that type question here, but if I was to get one, it
would have F12 (or soon to be) on it which is what we are testing now.

Gnome panel crashes when changing color

2009-10-30 Thread Mike Chambers
It seems, whether you use the bottom panel, or change the top panel to
be the bottom (speaking after an initial rawhide install), and go to
properties and change the color of it, it crashes.  It logs you out of
gnome and into gdm, then fails to load and won't allow you to log in to
gnome again.

Anyone else seen this lately?

Rawhide install nfs fails

2009-10-24 Thread Mike Chambers
I mirror rawhide on a F11 box, that I normally nfs mount from a rawhide
running system.  Tried to do an nfs based install from rawhide 2 days
ago and it failed, but installing via http from outside source (I don't
have http setup on the box) worked. So I guess I am asking is if nfs
based installs currently work, or at least do they work if the host is
an F11 box and the client will be a new rawhide box?

Tried a rawhide install few minutes ago and this time tried dhcp from
the get go, and that seemed to work (although if trying static ip from
get go, it fails and so does dhcp afterwards).  But when trying to set
it up via nfs (via askmethod at start of cd), it fails.

Network not starting during install

2009-10-15 Thread Mike Chambers
When trying to install via rawhide the last few days, or at least within
last week or so, the network wouldn't come up, whether via thru
askmethod or normal defaults.  It doesn't matter whether dhcp or static
IP, still doesn't start and you get infinite circle of retry menus after
each attempt.

The hardware that might cause this if its that, is using the forcedeth
driver (built into motherboard).

Anyone else running into this problem?

After both, either after a restore or after importing a .cvf (?) file of
your address book.  I can send a new email, click on "to" button, and
see them doubled when you go to choose who to send the email too.  BUT,
if you look in the address book itself (via view/window/contacts), there
is just one entry.  So in other words, it's on doubled when you go to
send an email and want to add someone from your address book.

Understand what I am referring to?

Evolution time format/double address book entries

2009-09-13 Thread Mike Chambers
Morning all,


In the date field while viewing emails, it shows the time in 24 hour
time instead of 12 hour time with am/pm.  I have went into any
preferences and made sure the two settings that have time in them are
correct and what I want, but no affect.  And my clock on my desktop is
12 hour time like it should be.

Also, and this has happened in most/all of F12 testing, is that when
either importing an address book or doing a complete restore when
starting evo for the first time, when you go to do a new email and click
on the to button to find an address book, it shows them as double
entries.  Although if you do use one, it removes both of them from the
selection.

Anyone else?

Ok, it didn't install the first time, no idea what was up with that but
got it going this time.  It did find/install the 180 driver and so far
it seems to work.  Haven't scanned or copied yet but printing works.

Thanks, and guess this will work until the 190 comes out.

Probably same thing, but also went through cups (localhost:631) and I

I have it installed, but can't figure out how to use the drivers from

looks like same drivers.  Is there a different way to go about it using

F12 Alpha problems

2009-08-27 Thread Mike Chambers
Couple problems I see that may or may not be known yet..

1 - Evolution won't accept the restore option (using the
evolution-backup.tar.gz) when first started.  Keeps starting over (the
initial setup menu) after it tries to restore the settings.  Also it
seems that if you have filters installed and one of them is to a missing
folder or something, evo will stop processing filters when it runs into
it and won't bypass it and continue on.

2 - When trying to start the Appearance program, it starts but closes
itself after a few seconds without being able to click on anything.  Ran
it via shell and below is what turns up..

[m...@scrappy ~]$ gnome-appearance-properties %F
calling CanSetSystem: 1

(gnome-appearance-properties:6188): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_color_equal:
assertion `colorb != NULL' failed

This on an updated rawhide system, with F12 Alpha install + updates.
BTW, tried a rawhide install, which worked, but kernel wouldn't boot due
to vfs or something, which others have already brought up.

fonts turning white?

2009-08-16 Thread Mike Chambers
I have seen menus (firefox and evolution) and/or fonts turn white or
missing on various occasions, no matter what I was doing.  I've seen
mention of gtk2 for various reasons, although this may or may not be a
part of the problem.  And what I mean by the problem, is the fonts are
there and didn't leave, just not black no longer.  They just seemed to
fade out, or turn completely white and not be seen, or even be turned
white but can see the letters.

Anyone else experienced this and/or know what I am experiencing?

I'll give it a shot again here in the next day or so, maybe this weekend
if I get time and some personal things don't get in the way.  I believe
12.7 was the last version I tried with.

Anaconda install askmethod

2009-08-11 Thread Mike Chambers
When trying to do an install against rawhide and/or F12 Alpha test
image, and using askmethod as in previous releases, it doesn't seem to
do the same thing.  Instead of going through and asking for network
configuration, type of install and location of image and such, before
the actual installer gui starts, it just asks for language and keyboard
types, then asks what partition and path the image is on.  I'm doign an
nfs install, so I have no way of answering that question.  Is askmethod
parameter during install going through a change or just a mishap?

The icon got to where it would be there at login, but it was muted.  I
would turn it up, and still no sound.  Look a few moments later (if not
seconds at times) and it would be muted again.

No sound in rawhide

2009-08-08 Thread Mike Chambers
Sooo, I thought I saw mention about sound with current rawhide or close.
Mine is just the ac97 or whatever built into the motherboard and after a
straight up upgrade from F11 to rawhide it stopped working.  I take it
known problem already?  Have anything to do with the boxes on the panel
in the notification area being there instead of the device icons?

crontab configuration

2009-08-05 Thread Mike Chambers
Ok, in F11 it had /etc/anacrontab file that I could edit to get my
cron.daily time to be set.  But I don't see that file and can't find
where the time is set that I want it ran from.  I believe it was 4am
this morning when it ran but I don't know where that time to run came
from?

Any enlightenment?

F12 Alpha Test install

2009-08-04 Thread Mike Chambers
Things I ran into when trying to install this test image and checking to
see if anyone else ran into them, or ask for confirmation on what I see
or shouldn't see.  BTW, install consisted of downloading x86_64 dvd iso
and it along with the images/install.img both residing in a mounted nfs
directory.  I burned boot.iso and used it to start the install from,
while the install.img I got from mounting the dvd.iso and copying it to
the proper location.

1 - askmethod - was able to select language and keyboard types, but it
didn't let me configure network or type of install.  It might have let
me do the previous later on if I had proceeded, but it asked me about
what partition and path to the install image to install from.  But mine
is on nfs and it didn't allow me to configure nfs at that point.

2 - My mouse was not detected at all during install.  Or at least, I
never saw the mouse arrow during it.  Had to use keyboard the whole
time.

3 - I used the GUI to do the install and when getting to type of
install, I tried to select NFS and listed my server and path to iso
image (yes dir is mounted), and it was looking for repo stuff for
instead of detecting the iso image itself.

Just a few things I ran into during install.

Evolution fonts

2009-08-04 Thread Mike Chambers
Does anyone else see the fonts and/or window panes or preview panes
showing the email fonts or whatever in a larger size than in previous
versions?  In other words, if you highlight a folder on left pane, look
at top section on left side at the emails at how big they are.  Then
highlight an email and look at the bottom at the preview pane and the
fonts in the body of the email seem bigger than in previous versions.

Anyone else (IF I am explaining this correctly) seeing this?

Mike

Partitioning error during install

2009-07-08 Thread Mike Chambers
I have a 500G Sata Drive that I have F11 installed on half of it, using
3 primary partitions (/boot, / and swap).

Now, I want to run rawhide on the other half, via F11 and update to
rawhide (which I understand is not exactly running smoothly), or install
rawhide itself.  But the problem I run into (no matter which I install),
is when I get to the partition section.  I go to add a partition - not
as a primary (this should allow it to be an extended correct?) - and I
get an error and can't proceed any longer. 

So either anaconda is having problems with this setup (due to the
rewrite?), or I am doing something wrong causing it to crash.

BTW, when I say as or not as a primary partition, I mean I am actually
checking or not checking the "make it a primary partition" check box.

Any ideas?

kernel-2.6.29.5-206.fc11.x86_64 in koji

2009-06-30 Thread Mike Chambers
Installed this kernel, and upon boot it panics.  I can't find anything
in any logs, as it seems to happen upon first start of boot (as in
during the "quiet" part of boot) before the processes are started to
come up.

Question is, how reliable would smolt be, if you don't know how many
more are *not* reporting to smolt anyway, via not on internet but on
just a local network?

How does this affect Rahul Sundaram and his position?  Not that I am
trying to butt into Red Hat's business or whatever, just that he seems
to be the voice of Red Hat/Reason since this beta cycle began and just
seeing who we will be talking to, and who will be making decisions on
things and such.

Maybe an explanation/diagram of who reports to who, and who says what
type thing? (as in , developers to Rahul, Rahul to you, you to a
committee, etc..? something like that).  Might let us all understand how
this works as far as names and stuff *shrug*.

I would try an install from rawhide and see if that works with the
