How did you install them to get more than one?  I've not struck that

will Fedora 10 have KDE 4.1.3?

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all,

Quick Question:

Will Fedora 10 have KDE 4.1.3?

Just asking for the benefit of those who saw it being released and might ask:

ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.1.3/src/kdebase-4.1.3.tar.bz2

If not, then will it be pushed to rawhide as soon as Fedora 10 is released?

Thanks,

Antonio

Hi Jim!

Well, first lets find out what is going on - execute:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log$ cp Xorg.0.log /home/tod/Desktop/Xorg.0.log.txt

Of course you need to move to /var/log before you do this and use the
actual name of your home directory to land the file on your desktop.
I like to do it this way because it is convenient and kind of makes a
snapshot of the log file as well.

Pull the resulting file into your favorite text editor.  Note at the
beginning of the file those things you will find at the beginning of
the line in parenthesis.  Be very watchful for "(WW)" and especially
"(EE)".  Also be looking for the word "not" (as in "not using"). The
text editor environment is nice since you can use "find" and "find
again" to search for these things as you need to and move around in
the file efficiently.

Lets also have a look at your video hardware from the view of the pci
buss.  Execute (as ROOT):


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# lspci -v -v -x > /home/tod/Desktop/lspci.txt

Again making those changes necessary to your environment.  Then again
pull it in to your text editor.  At the bottom of the file you will
usually find the video adapter.

Probably you will find in the Xorg.0.log that it does not like the
settings recommended in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and so chooses
one that it does like.  You may need to get the technical information
on your video adapter and display to change your xorg.conf so that X
can use it.  Another possible way is to use a live CD (Knoppix,
perhaps Fedora, Ubuntu, etc...) and see what they come up with for an
xorg.conf that X likes!  I have occasionally used critical portions
(monitor, screen) of such a xorg.conf to modify one that was not
working and had very good results.

Have a lot of fun!

Tod

One detail you left out of you question... What kind of scan quality are you
looking for? If a multi-function printer/scanner/copier is good enough,
check out hplip[1] and see which printers have scanner functionality
working. I ran across the Photosmart C5580 when can be had for $99 at
www.newegg.com[2] and most of the functions work line printing, scanning,
even the flash card reader (however, no PC initiated fax, copy, or color
calibration).

Dell 3115cn is a scanner, printer, copier which speaks SMB and can also
email you documents. It also does fax but that only works remotely in
windows, while the rest works fine in Linux including the management web
interface.

Virtually all of which are for hardware that is no longer made,
but you might find on e-bay :-(.

I keep looking for a scanner that goes on the network and will
deposit scanned documents directly in a network share so it
can be totally OS independent, but I haven't found any such
beast.

The commercial (but reasonably priced) vuescan software
(from http://www.hamrick.com/) supports a much wider variety
of actually available hardware, but only operates as a GUI,
and I really like the ability to script things with the
sane command line tools, so I haven't actually tried vuescan
(but may someday get desperate enough to use the X11 XTEST
extension to turn the vuescan GUI into a command line tool :-).

Thanks for the link! What kind of SCSI adaptor is needed for these

You may be on to something here.

The router settings seem to apply to pppoe connections only.  My ISP uses a
standard dhcp server to give me my address -- no pppoe involved.  Plus my
problem isn't with communicating with external stuff.  Just the opposite, in
fact.

However, I did some experimenting by setting the mtu in the Network Manager
"edit connections" box.  It started out as "automatic", which seemed to be 1500.
I changed that to 1400 and got about twice as much data transferred with my scp
command as I ever managed before before the router locked up.

I then changed it to 1350 and it locked up after transferring about 25% of what
I could transfer with the default 1500 setting.

So... this suggests that if I can just find the correct magical mtu setting, I
might be in business.

Which leads to the question:  How can I find out what the proper mtu setting
might be?

It's interesting that the other Intel laptop works fine using the default 1500
setting.

Try this command as regular user:
  $ krandrtray
It puts an icon on the lower right icon tray. Click on it (blue-ish square) and
select a resolution to change it on the fly. This icon shows the available
resolutions your display can take.

Also execute as regular user 'xrandr', which also shows the resolutions your
card takes. In my case it shows over two dozen possibilities even though
my xorg.conf has no particular modeline in it.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport   0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection


so the last obvious thing to consider is: does your display support
the resolution
to which you want to set it?

I have experienced the problem you described. Using the xorg comand from
my previous email helped solved the problem with an nvidia card.

www.sane-project.org has a convenient list of compatible scanners.

I, personally, use the Cannon MF-4270. I had to hack some bugs out of sane's 
pixma driver, but once I did that, it worked fine. The fixes went upstream, 
they should be in the next version of sane, so until then you'll have to 
pull them out of CVS and temporarily build your own driver.


The MF-4270 is really a multifunction scanner/copier/printer/fax machine. 
AFAIK, there is no support for the printer part of it, in CUPS, but I don't 
need the printer+fax functionality. It works fine for me as a 
scanner+copier. Supports both the flatbed and the document feeder, for 
scanning.

Re: Remote buffer overflow bug in kernel

Antonio Olivares writes:


Dear all,

There has been a bug in the kernel with a buffer overflow in kernel, 


\begin{quote}
A remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux Kernel could be exploited 
by attackers to execute code or cripple affected systems, according to a Gentoo 
bug report that just became public.

The flaw could allow malicious hackers to launch arbitrary code with

some cases if an exploit fails, result in denial-of-service attacks.

Q:  Will we see an updated kernel soon that addresses this issue?

Is it a real bug or just on Gentoo?  


RTFA:

   •Anders Kaseorg discovered that ndiswrapper did not correctly handle
   long ESSIDs. If ndiswrapper is in use, a physically near-by attacker
   could generate specially crafted wireless network traffic and crash the
   system, leading to a denial of service.

If you're using ndiswrapper for a wireless card, you're boned.

Just consider it as yet another cost of bending over to accomodate non-free 
binary blob device drivers, instead of giving your business to 
Linux-friendly hardware manufacturers which actively support the free 
software community.


This is not a kernel bug, this is a bug in ndiswrapper, so there won't be 
any kernel updates for Fedora. The fix will have to be in ndiswrapper, which 
is not part of Fedora proper.

True!  Sorry for hitting send too quickly :(
I did not read enough to find out that only systems with ndiswrapper which is 
not part of official Fedora kernels.  I am sorry for causing trouble.  I 
apologize to all.  

Only users which run ndiswrapper on Fedora systems sould be concerned.

Regards,

Antonio

I overlooked that part.  Sorry for clicking send too quickly.  IT is only with 
ndiswrapper and Fedora does not ship it by default.  Only users that run it 
should worry about this and/or disable wireless.

No there has not, its just the usual standard of "journalism" on the net.

Some random out of kernel third party code has a bug (ndiswrapper). If
you use it you need to ask said third party vendor  for advice.

Try creating an Xorg.conf from scratch (backup your existing config file):

read xorg's man page or search the web a bit.

What happens if you go into their personal preferences, and set a

See this:
http://www.wi-fitechnology.com/belkin-router-lock-up-when-using-azerus-Forum-927.html

Someone had a similar problem with file transfers and mentions changing the
size of the MTU. It indicates an MTU of 1400 for Belkin works ok. Take
it with a grain
of salt.

A Belkin G Router manual is found here:
http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=F5D7230-4&aid=5999&scid=221
Page 35 suggests that incorrect MTU settings can cause problems.

You can access your Belkin using Firefox and its IP address to check
the settings.
Elsewhere someone suggest you can access MTU setting by using this
URL 192.168.x.x/wan_pppoe.html

How did you install them to get more than one?  I've not struck that
problem.  I installed the Flash player using the Adobe RPM, and update
it with "yum update", along with everything else.

Dear all,

There has been a bug in the kernel with a buffer overflow in kernel, 



The bug report[1] states that it is an ndiswrapper issue. Fedora AFAIK 
does not support ndiswrapper as it is a kernel module that is not 
upstream. Fedora shouldn't have anything to worry about.


If you use ndiswrapper, you should check upstream or see if Gentoo has 
already done so, which I bet they have.

The transfer lasts less than 5 seconds before it locks up.  So the case has no
time to get hot.

It doesn't appear to.  The only log setting it has is "security log" and
there's nothing relevant in there.

Dumb question - does the router get hot during the transfer? This
sure sounds like a router problem.

RE: acer aspire one - wireless ethernet

[bruce]

hmmm...

ok. does the router have any logging function? if it does, anything in the
logs? what kind of router by the way?

also. if you have time, are you willing to see if you can setup a test
between your two machines/router with the machines both having static ip
addresses?

i'm curious to nail down exactly what the issue might be...

i'm inclined to think it's a setting somewhere in the router...

you say you're using scp... can you setup a nis share on one of the boxes,
and attach from the other, and copy the files from the client, to the nis
share?

I just turned set the wireless security on my router to "disabled" and then
booted the Acer Aspire One and got it online wirelessly.  I then used scp to
copy the large file from my desktop computer to the Acer.  The first time I
tried it, all 5mb transferred just fine.  It would only get through about
3mb
of that before locking up with the WPA2 security enabled.

I then attempted to copy that file a second time, entering the exact same
command.  And after getting about halfway through the transfer (just short
of
3mb) the connection was locked up just the same as it was before.

So the problem still exists with the wireless security turned off.  It seems
to
transfer about twice as much data before locking up, though.

The filesystem location /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

If it isn't that's the underlying problem.

That should produce a useful python traceback, since the ImportError

Does your router appliance have any logging capabilities which are
enabled? Is your router spending more time logging events when
connected with the Aspire One?

I don't believe I have ever installed java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel

# rpm -qa | grep openjdk
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-0.18.b09.fc9.x86_64
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.18.b09.fc9.i386
#  grep openjdk-devel /var/log/yum.log*
#
These logs go back to the beginning of June. I know I didn't install it 
manually.

Re: acer aspire one - wireless ethernet

I just turned set the wireless security on my router to "disabled" and then
booted the Acer Aspire One and got it online wirelessly.  I then used scp to
copy the large file from my desktop computer to the Acer.  The first time I
tried it, all 5mb transferred just fine.  It would only get through about 3mb
of that before locking up with the WPA2 security enabled.

I then attempted to copy that file a second time, entering the exact same
command.  And after getting about halfway through the transfer (just short of
3mb) the connection was locked up just the same as it was before.

So the problem still exists with the wireless security turned off.  It seems to
transfer about twice as much data before locking up, though.

Remote buffer overflow bug in kernel

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all,

There has been a bug in the kernel with a buffer overflow in kernel, 

\begin{quote}
A remote buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux Kernel could be exploited 
by attackers to execute code or cripple affected systems, according to a Gentoo 
bug report that just became public.

The flaw could allow malicious hackers to launch arbitrary code with 
kernel-level privileges.  This could lead to complete system compromise or, in 
some cases if an exploit fails, result in denial-of-service attacks.
\end{quote}

More at  
http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=2121

Q:  Will we see an updated kernel soon that addresses this issue?

Is it a real bug or just on Gentoo?  


Thanks,

Antonio

Is it possible in KDE 4.2 to configure the panel to only show icons

It does, but its not very good right now.  You can span a single
desktop, but that's about it.


Can you point me to any docs per spanning a single desktop ?




You'll need to create and/or edit your xorg.conf to facilitate it.  I
use the nvidia drivers, so I do battle withe their config editor

You don't know what it's for but it doesn't work?

Drag it to the desktop. Click on it. Watch the windows disappear. Click
again. Watch them come back.

(It would be more useful added to the panel, but I don't see an obvious
way to get that).

Hi Steve,

If you type in about:plugins in the address bar and hit enter, do you
see Java in the list that shows up?


No,  there is no java in the list.

  

If it does not, can you paste the output of:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/*javaplugin*


$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/*javaplugin*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 63 2008-11-03 14:55

/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so

Thanks for taking the time to help.

  
Alright, so that link looks good. We need to figure out now if that plugin 
exists, and if mozilla is expected to be seeing it. So, can you post the 
output of:


ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so

and:

ls -l /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/*java*

Deepak



[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -l 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so
ls: cannot access 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so: No such file

So that looks like a problem:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ locate gcjwebplugin.so

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so
/usr/lib64/gcj-4.3.0/libgcjwebplugin.so
/usr/share/doc/libgcj-4.3.0/README.libgcjwebplugin.so
  


This is odd, to have the JDK 
(/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/), you must have 
installed java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel. Therefore, you must have installed 
java-1.6.0-openjdk, which in turn provides the 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/ directory 
(java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin provides 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so). Seems 
like your links got nuked or you lost some files somewhere.


The only thing I can suggest is removing all your java-1.6.0-openjdk 
packages, and reinstall them all. Be sure you at least have 
java-1.6.0-openjdk, and java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin.



Let me know if that works,

Yep, so that is definitely the problem. The alternatives seem to be
messed up. Not really sure why that happened. Can you paste the output
of:

alternatives --display libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 ?

(that will tell me if just the link is bad, or if the alternatives
setup itself is broken)

Uhm you just pasted in the traceback from cobbler... but most of
the english-ese that you wrote was about yum.  So I am a bit confused.

I'd need to see the traceback from yum to start making any sort of guesses.

This is a 64bit system?

-jef

  
The yum traceback is higher up in the email, but here it is again. This 
is a 64 bit system running Fedora 9.


There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

  No module named config

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun 15 2008, 18:24:56)
[GCC 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
 http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq



I apologize for not being fully clear. After a little bit of review 
before that last email was sent, I also found that cobbler is affected 
by the same thing with YUM, pointing back to config.py, I believe. But I 
can't figure out what is supposed to match with what.

> what does the /var/log/messages say, if anything?

Here is the relevant section of /var/log/messages when I try to re-connect
from the Acer after copying a large file and losing the connection, before I
reset the router.  I think I'm in trouble from the very first line.
"Couldn't
get connection secrets".  All I get is the window asking me for my WPA2
password.  If I leave everything else alone after the lockup and just reset
the
router, the Acer reconnects right away all by itself.  But if the Intel
laptop
was also online wirelessly when the lockup occurred, then the Intel laptop
won't
go back online after I reset the router until the Intel laptop has been
rebooted.

The lockup doesn't affect the wired connections at all.  I can still log
into
the router using a wired connection and go to the configuration page to
reset
it, and I can still surf the net and whatnot from a wired connection even
without resetting the router.  The wireless connections to the laptops still
think they are present after the lockups occur.  I don't get the
"disconnected"
message and I still have four bars in the panel applet until I reset the
router.  When I reset the router, the panel applet in the Acer says
"disconnected", then the spinning balls start and then it reconnects, but
the
Intel says "disconnected", then the spinning balls start and it comes up and
asks for my WPA2 password and won't actually connect again until I reset the
Intel laptop.

I can confirm this is an issue if you are not careful.  Firefox and
Konqueror are not "smart" enough to use the "best" one.  You need to be
sure to delete, or at least move "out of view" the out of date versions
of Flash.

Re: madwifi, F9, atheros 5413 cards

[PH mooraa]

Just for someone's good, I am mentioning how the problem was solved..

what - atheros AR5413 (ar5006x) cards, madwifi livna rpms, adhoc mode, and
configuration scripts I described at the start of the thread -- no traffic
between peers

No matter what configuration I set in ifcfg-ath0, network manager was
changing something. It has to be related to authentication because the cards
would send packets but would never receive anything form anyone. I had
"iwpriv authmode 1" and "wpa 0" in my ifcfg-ath0. I had disabled
wpa_supplicant and still no successful pings anywhere..

Because network manager was doing something fishy, I stopped it using
ntsysv. I was able to connect cards in adhoc mode. They will not connect
automatically as NM is not running, but I added a workaround in rc.local
saying "service network restart".

I am still searching what NetworkManager was doing which blocked all
incoming traffic in adhoc mode in madwifi. If found, will file a bug for
sure. Its F9 too because same configuration worked fine on other distros.

RE: acer aspire one - wireless ethernet

[bruce]

just saw this thread.. so bear with me if the questions are already
answered...

are you using dhcp on the router/laptops?

are you using static ip addresses?

what does the /var/log/messages say, if anything?

The interesting thing here is that I can copy the exact same file (and
larger
ones too) from my desktop computer to my other laptop (a "no-name" Intel) on
the
same wireless router with no problem.

I also discovered that if the Acer and my other laptop are both online
wirelessly at the same time and I send a large file to the Acer from my
desktop
computer so it locks up the router's wireless capability, the other laptop's
wireless connection also locks up and won't re-connect even after I reset
the
router.  I also have to reboot the other laptop to get it back online,
otherwise it just continuously asks me for my WPA2 password.

So whatever it is that causes the lock-up, it doesn't just lock up the
wireless part of the router. It also locks up the wireless part of the other
Intel laptop.

However I don't have to reboot the Acer to get it back online after the
lockup.  While the Acer is the cause of the lockup for the other units,  The
Acer's wireless connection doesn't seem to lock up like the router and the
Intel
laptop do.  After resetting the route the Acer will say that the connection
was
lost, then reconnect to the wireless router automatically.

Alright, so that link looks good. We need to figure out now if that plugin 
exists, and if mozilla is expected to be seeing it. So, can you post the 
output of:

ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so

and:

ls -l /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/*java*

You can set per background per plasma activity, but not per virtual desktop,

That could just be badly authored sites, but you'd need to give us

then make wrong assumptions based on those results (e.g. use 
JavaScript

to check something, or try to set a cookie, or look at the version of
the browser that you're using and compare it with their short list).

An example of a Flash-using site that work relatively painless for

without having to install anything other than the Adobe Flash player
(via their repo), and the libflashsupport RPM:  http://youtube.com/

Up until a day or so ago, I would have said add the Livna repo to 
your

computer, and yum install akmod-nvidia (rebuilds itself after any new
kernel installations), *OR* kmod-nvidia (requires updating with an
updated kmod-nvidia RPM after any new kernel installations).  But 
Livna
has just merged into RPM fusion, and I'm not sure of the procedure 
for

starting from scratch, now.

I see no harm in installing the Livna repo RPM for Fedora 9, then 
doing

yum update once or twice to let it sort itself out.  Then yum install
the nvidia RPM that you want.  See:  .
I'm sure it'd be a bit less messy to start off with the RPM Fusion 
repo,

but I can't advise about doing something that I've not done, myself.

The kmod-nvidia also had two variations, for 96xx series and legacy
graphics cards.  See:  http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/LivnaSwitcher

Hi Steve,

If you type in about:plugins in the address bar and hit enter, do you
see Java in the list that shows up?

If it does not, can you paste the output of:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/*javaplugin*

Yum Woes with Python

[Seann Clark]

All,


  This is a pretty simple problem that I can't quiet get resolved. 
I spent two hours on google searching and found nothing that really 
helped. My problem is this:



Wed Nov 05-12:02:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:distro> yum update
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

  No module named config

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun 15 2008, 18:24:56)
[GCC 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
 http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq

Now, this is after I did an upgrade to python to add in a little extra 
functionality I needed for a lot of various things (my fault, totally, 
for being lazy and using yum install python-*)
Seems just the config package isn't there, since the errors I see are 
from that package:


Wed Nov 05-12:02:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:distro> cobbler

'module' object has no attribute 'getLogger'
 File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 77,

   rc = BootCLI().run(sys.argv)

   self.api = api.BootAPI()

 File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 79, in

   return utils.setup_logger(name)

 File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cobbler/utils.py", line 85, in

   logger = logging.getLogger(name)




So, yeah, I am stuck trying to find out what matches with my version(s)

OPENVPN/IPTABLES help

[woodson2]

Hello, I have openvpn up and running successfully on FC9. I'm using routing
mode with the following configuration

My internal LAN range 10.10.10.0/24
My Openvpn client range 10.8.0.0/24

I can connect and ping the openvpn server from the openvpn client but can't
talk to the other machines on the internal LAN subnet. However, the machines
on the internal LAN subnet can ping the openvpn clients. I have entered the
following in iptables.



iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 10.10.10.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -I INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT


I have also added a route on my d-link router that routes any traffic
destined to 10.8.0.0/24 back to the OPENVPN server(10.10.10.xxx). This all
works as it should when the firewall is disabled so apparently I'm missing
some rule in iptables...Any help would be greatly appreciated..thanks..

For similar uses, I have been using swfdec in rawhide recently and it 
works very well. I am not a heavy users and I avoid flash as much as 
possible so this experience is certainly not authoritative but you 
should definitely give it a try


# yum install swfdec-mozilla swfdec

Gnash does work with Youtube but not as successful for me in other 
websites. In either case, I do recommend file bug reports just in case, 
swfdec doesn't work for you. The developer is quite responsive.

Hi All;

Does Fedora9 (and KDE4) support multiple screens? If so, how do I

Oracle 11g1 on Fedora 9

[Fred Silsbee]

success
don't depend on any of the internet instructions on how to do this install

all are missing information critical to the install

better to:

otn.oracle.com

look for the forum and see the recent threads I've posted and the answers I've 
gotten (wow did I learn a lot)

There are even false/missing instructions given even on the Oracle website!

Gnash has most Flash features up to SWF done, while above that it is
spotty.  In this case, running the SWF with gnash's verbose output gives:

10666] 11:30:17: UNIMPLEMENTED: SWF9 is not fully supported, trying
anyway but don't expect it to work

for me.

It is a very active project, and they are making significant progress.
However, in the meantime, gnash can't handle this.

It is installed.  The curious situation is that I am able to use the
OfficeJet while signed on as "root" but not as my local user.  There
must be some setting that I am missing which allows the OfficeJet to be
used by others on the machine when they sign on as there normal user.

Is it possible you need the libsane-hpaio package installed?

Re: selinux question(s) (/home really = /n/home..)

[Matt Nicholson]

Right, but I'm on a fully updated F9. I got the F10 libxcb package
updated/installed, and all seems to be well. kinda a bit hack-y to add to my
image/kickstart, but, if it works, it works, and I'll be rebuilding a F10
version as soon as its out I'm sure.

Thanks for the help!

I too have had issues with Adobe Flash player.  I have visited web sites
that say that I am missing this.  I've gone to the the Adobe web site
and have followed their instructions but still find that the yum or rpm
process has not properly updated FireFox.  Per the Adobe web site, if I
check the plug ins, I should see that Adobe Flash is include after
following the install instructions.  Fedora 9 believes that it has
installed it.

I'm talking about KDE 4.1.2 but I think it also applied to 4.1.1
I can add menu items anywhere I want, and have done so on multiple machines - 
to the panel, the desktop, the favorites list, or to one of the folder views

What brand and model of router?  I've seen an identical thing with Mac
OS X 10.4/10.5 and DLink routers.  If I do a continuous ping to the
router, eventually packets just start dropping until only 10-15% get
through.  Reset the router, no problems.  The same router with a Windows
XP Dell Inspiron and a Dell wireless card, no problems.

That could just be badly authored sites, but you'd need to give us some
examples.  A common reason that sites reckon you don't have something
that you do have is that they do a stupid test via something *else*,
then make wrong assumptions based on those results (e.g. use JavaScript
to check something, or try to set a cookie, or look at the version of
the browser that you're using and compare it with their short list).

An example of a Flash-using site that work relatively painless for me,
without having to install anything other than the Adobe Flash player
(via their repo), and the libflashsupport RPM:  http://youtube.com/

Up until a day or so ago, I would have said add the Livna repo to your
computer, and yum install akmod-nvidia (rebuilds itself after any new
kernel installations), *OR* kmod-nvidia (requires updating with an
updated kmod-nvidia RPM after any new kernel installations).  But Livna
has just merged into RPM fusion, and I'm not sure of the procedure for
starting from scratch, now.

I see no harm in installing the Livna repo RPM for Fedora 9, then doing
yum update once or twice to let it sort itself out.  Then yum install
the nvidia RPM that you want.  See:  .
I'm sure it'd be a bit less messy to start off with the RPM Fusion repo,
but I can't advise about doing something that I've not done, myself.

The kmod-nvidia also had two variations, for 96xx series and legacy
graphics cards.  See:  http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/LivnaSwitcher

Lost .jpg thumbnails

[John Lagrue]

Some time over the last month of so my Gnome desktop has lost the ability to
generate thumbnails of jpgs.

I have all the options set; the maximum filesize for thumbnails is set to
10Mb, so that's not the issue. Bmp, gif and png files all show as thumbnails
in Nautilus - but no jpgs do.

Does anyone have an idea of what might have gone wrong?
