FC8t3 issues

[Ian Thurlbeck]

Dear All

here is a grab bag of things I noticed trying out FC8 test 3 + current updates.

Please advise if I should bugzilla any of them:

1) installer: cosmetic redraw bugs on custom partition editor page
    82915/GV/... graphics

2) installer: checking "Additional Fedora Software" when behind a proxy
    hangs anaconda "retrieving mirrorlist" (may timeout?)

3) gdm: cannot log in when using NIS authentication

    pam_unix(gdm:auth): check pass; user unknown

    Old bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=134393

    Fix to set USENIS=yes in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig works - why doesn't it
    just use the rules in /etc/nsswitch.conf ?

    workaround: setting DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop to run kdm

4) xmms KDE_Window_Open.wav

    ** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*"

    requires xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch to quieten this.

5) hald runs as uid 68 but this has no entry in /etc/passwd ?

6) lpstat -t lists printers in long format, even if you
    set BrowseShortNames Yes option:

    device for col at dunnet: ipp://dunnet:631/printers/col

    when it should be:

    device for col: ipp://dunnet:631/printers/col

    compiling a fresh cups from 1.3.3 cups.org source lists short names printers.

That's all so far!

Many thanks

Ian
