hp printer installation

2022-06-18 Thread Roger Wells
Any attempt to install my hp4630 all-in one printer on a clean install 
F36 produces dialog saying "python3 not responding" and ultimately fails.
Same printer has installed and worked as expected on F35 and many 
previous fedora installations.

Installation attempt is for wireless connection.

Have you installed glibc.i686?


Genius, very good. That seems to be the cause. Plus a couple of others, 
eg libstdc++.i686.

Thank you very much



Thanks,

I would check to see if there is an security issue as it saying `bash: 
/home/roger/pvcs/vm/linux/bin/mlcproxy: No such file or directory` 
either means its not there, or something going on.



thanks for responding,

It's there, and when copied to a CentOS7 machine runs fine.


1. stat /home/roger/pvcs/vm/linux/bin/mlcproxy
2. ls -lZ /home/roger/pvcs/vm/linux/bin/mlcproxy
3. file /home/roger/pvcs/vm/linux/bin/mlcproxy

Also not sure if you are meaning the code is 30 years old, but if it 
is, I would wonder if it was an a.out binary which I think was dropped 
from the kernel recently.

<https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item=Linux-Remove-a.out>


pvcs was actually first released 37 years ago.  This release, 8.6.3 is 
just a year or so old.  It works fine on F35

F36 pvcs problem

2022-06-06 Thread Roger Wells

we use pvcs here for CM and have for many years (~30).
Currently we are using it on RHEL 7 & Fedora.
On F35 (and earlier) no issues at all.
On F36 (installed end of last week) some programs are not recognized and 
issue error message "not a dynamic executable" when examined with "ldd":

any ideas?

Just did that.

1. Press the button on the upper right corner of the Gnome desktop.
2. Press the settings button on the lower left of the menu
3. Select Users

On the resulting "Users" dialog one can select Fingerprint Login:
Disabled/Enabled

In my case it is Disabled

As far as when this occurs, at least:
1. at boot up login
2. after suspense login
and not
1. not when a browser asks for a password when visiting a site
2. when issuing a command using sudo, like mounting an external share

Once again, this did not occur on F23 and started as soon as I upgraded
to F24

Its no big deal.  We could do like windows 10 which just stops the
fingerprint reader when a password is entered.

Let me know if you think I should submit this upstream somewhere.

It feels like it may be similar to the scrolling problems mentioned that
seem be fixed after installing libinit and adjusting some configuration
files in /etc.  After doing that the Gnome "Mouse & Touchpad" settings
dialog (same place as the "Users" mentioned above) took on a whole new
meaningful life.

HTH,
thanks for your response

F24, small backward steps

2016-09-09 Thread Roger Wells
Just a couple of smallish things after upgrading (via dnf) from F23 to
F24 a couple of months ago:

1. deja-dup gui:

one has to deselect then reselect the Overview option in order
to be offered the "Backup Now" option.

The details option in the progress dialog will only display two
or three lines, is not resizeable, and does not follow resizing the
entire dialog

The progress dialog does not wait to be dismissed at the end,
causing any messages about problems (like failure to backup a particular
file) to not be seen

2. fingerprint identification:

The laptop has a fingerprint reader and it works fine.  However
I prefer not to use it. The user set up specifies that fingerprint login
is disabled.

However whenever I am asked for a password the fingerprint
reader blinks until I swipe a finger over it (even after using a
password). 

No fingerprint is registered.

This is different than F23 where it never blinked.

3. Scrolling issues:

This, edge and natural scrolling via the touchpad, was covered
nicely in a previous thread. 

Solutions offered there work well but should be better
integrated as I am sure they will be.


Desktop is: gnome-desktop3-3.20.2-1.fc24.x86_64

laptop is Thinkpad X240 (Intel graphics)

Not to be a pita, just trying to help
I really like Fedora & the Gnome desktop

F24 mouse/touchpad natural scrolling

2016-08-05 Thread Roger Wells
Hello,

In the Mouse & Touchpad settings dialog where one can select/deselect
Natural Scrolling there is no difference between settings.  The
view/window is moved around the contents, i.e. not "Natural Scrolling"

The machine is a Thinkpad x240, OS is F24, just upgraded from F23 a day
or so ago.

This setting worked as expected on F23

Actually, I just checked and none of the settings, "Mouse Speed",
"Primary Button" included has any effect.

I did set the speed to high on F23 and thought it worked.  Never messed
with the "Primary Button" though.

uname -a: Linux rwells-x240 4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 12
11:50:00 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

TIA

Hi,

I have been using Linux on X series Lenovo Thinkpads for many years,
X200, X220, X240 and before that IBM A31 & X31
Linux versions include Fedora, Centos, RHEL but I have briefly tried
Ubuntu (successfully).
I develop navigation and mapping software for autonomous marine vehicles
for a living using these computers.

Good Luck in school
HTH
