"unlock keyring"

[François Patte]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Bonjour,

Everytime I want to ssh to a remote computer, an alert pop-up says: "You
have not unlocked your keyring when logging on this computer"

I tried my password: it fails

I tried my gnupg passphrase: il fails

I rejected the pop-up and I could log to the remote computer.

Who is asking this: local or remote computer? And How to get rid off
this And what is the goal of this?

Thank you.

PS running f10

Make sure that your gnome keyring password is the same as your login password.

Delete  ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring

Aha! I found it!

It was indeed set to grub instead of none. I really don't remember ever 
touching that setting, but memory can be misleading. Anyway, it doesn't 
matter anymore. I have set it to none and SELinux stopped complaining.

Thanks! :-)

That's good. Learning how to properly use PulseAudio Volume Control in

directing audio streams where I wanted them.

That's all right if you only use one audio application at a time.
However, sometimes one needs to use more. Here's a quotation from my
private mail to another list member:

"I'm attaching a small text file (of 'top') demonstrating successful use
of pulseaudio. I had Rhythmbox playing some of my favorite records. This
stream was directed to USB headphones. Simultaneously I had totem
(actually totem-xine with all the non-free codecs) playing a movie. This
stream was directed to loudspeakers through the Ensonic SB sound card.
Please note the relatively low average load, even if I have Firefox and
some other programs running.
Both audio signals were completely free of pops or crackles - and there
were no "holes" in the audio output of either. Those holes were plaguing
PA all the time when pulseaudio was new to Fedora :-("

I know that alsamixer already worked well around F7 era or so. Now I
need two sound cards working simultaneously with different streams to be
used in my SDR (Software-Defined Radio) experiments. I can't see how
alsamixer could handle that.

Well, it has generated a few rather even-tempered comments so far. I
doubt that this will develop into a flame war on this list.

To conclude, I understand that if someone - especially a newbie - has
trouble getting *any* sounds from his/her system, minimizing the number
of possible culprits (such as pulseaudio) can perhaps be justified. Now
that PulseAudio has reached a stable state, more often than not the
problem is probably elsewhere. Of course, my experience is based only on
the hardware I use. It might not be as plain sailing for other HW
combinations.

BR, Antti

I have a feeling there was something wrong with the Fedora metadata last
night  -  I could not update from the central repo even though the rpms were
apparently available later the files got fixed and all was well - so I
expect that the OP had not error in his mirror but that the files he was
syncing from were not yet up to date at the time.

HP parallel port scanner & Fedora 9

[Peter Boy]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect an older HP multifunction PSC 500 to a Fedora 9
box via parallel port.

HP lib does support it, but the xsane tool can not handle parallel
ports. I tried the hp-setup tools. It recognizes the device 
hp:/par/PSC_500?device=/dev/parport0

but a program error seems to prevent it from creating a config file

(Traceback: file /usr/bin/hp-setup, line 448, in  from installer
import core_install, ImportError: No module named installer)

I suppose Fedora uses it's own gnome based configuration tools as
mentioned on the hp-lib web pages.

Does someone know where I have to enter the parallel port information to
a make gscan2pdf work?  Unfortunalely I only found instructions for
older Fedora versions which used hpoj.

Thanks in advance

Peter

That's a strange conclusion. There is this libgxim update,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2238
which went directly into "stable" without spending any time in
updates-testing at all. Same for the update that fixes it:

How to send DHCP hostname with NM?

[Neal Becker]

How in the world do I get hostname set on a dhcp connection managed by NM?

In nm-applet, edit connections/Auto Ethernet shows
under IPv4 Setting
DHCP Client ID: (my name)

But it doesn't seem to send the hostname.

I have a

DHCP_HOSTNAME=evon800c

in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file,
and the DHCP server sees it:

Mar  9 12:22:39 server1 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:08:02:6c:20:ad via
bond0.20
Mar  9 12:22:40 server1 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.20.2.252 to

LAN addresses in IPv6

[Timothy Murphy]

I've been playing with ipv6,
and can use it externally thanks to a tunnel from sixxs.net .
But I'm puzzled about its use inside my home network.

What are the ipv6 addresses of the machines on this LAN?
Are they the ipv6 addresses given by "ifconfig -a"?
Or are they modifications of the "local address" given me by sixxs?

I should say that the question is theoretical at the moment,
as I am running Centos-5.2 and shorewall on my server,
and it seems I have to wait until shorewall6 comes along for Centos,
which apparently needs a more recent kernel and iptables
than currently running under Centos, according to
.

But I'd like to be prepared for the happy day.

I find that at present I can ping6 from any laptop to itself
using the ipv6 address from ifconfig -a:
-
[...@mary ~]$ ping6 -Ieth1 fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a
PING fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a(fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a) from 
fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a eth1: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.058 ms
-
But I cannot ping6 from one machine to another:
-
[...@helen ~]$ ping6 -Ieth1 fe80::202:2dff:fe21:3c9
PING fe80::202:2dff:fe21:3c9(fe80::202:2dff:fe21:3c9) from 
fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a eth1: 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
-

I assume that shorewall is preventing this.

Incidentally, I didn't find any online documentation
giving much help with IPv6 under Fedora and/or Centos;
all the ipv6 documents seemed aimed at someone
very different to myself.

Do you have an /etc/cups/lpoptions file?  What does it say?

I suspect you have a line in it that says "Default ..." for a

Guidelines aren't worth a penny, if there is nobody to enforce them.
In some cases testers and their negative feedback are considered nothing
else than a disturbing factor.

Re: LAN addresses in IPv6

[Robert Moskowitz]

Timothy Murphy wrote:

I've been playing with ipv6,
and can use it externally thanks to a tunnel from sixxs.net .
But I'm puzzled about its use inside my home network.

What are the ipv6 addresses of the machines on this LAN?
Are they the ipv6 addresses given by "ifconfig -a"?
Or are they modifications of the "local address" given me by sixxs?
  


Here is an example of an IPv6 addr:

ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:77:43:09:78
inet addr:208.83.67.155 Bcast:208.83.67.159 Mask:255.255.255.248
inet6 addr: 2607:f4b8:3:1:21b:77ff:fe43:978/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: fe80::21b:77ff:fe43:978/64 Scope:Link

I have real IPv6 connectivity through my ISP Clearrate that gets its 
allocation from Verizon. I have a /48 allocation.


Does sixxs.net give you a prefix allocation and you run RADVD yourself 
or do you get the router advertisements through the tunnel? The key is 
to look for Scope:Global.



I should say that the question is theoretical at the moment,
as I am running Centos-5.2 and shorewall on my server,
and it seems I have to wait until shorewall6 comes along for Centos,
which apparently needs a more recent kernel and iptables
than currently running under Centos, according to
.
  


And this won't happen until Centos 6. We are unlikely to get a kernel 
that meets the needs for shorewall6 with Centos 5.3, ever.



But I'd like to be prepared for the happy day.
  


Hold your breath. I am working with some FC9 and FC10 boxes to work with 
shorewall6. My plan is to work out the resulting IP6tables and copy 
those to Centos boxes. At least those rules that should work with the 
Centos kernel.



I find that at present I can ping6 from any laptop to itself
using the ipv6 address from ifconfig -a:
-
[...@mary ~]$ ping6 -Ieth1 fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a
PING fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a(fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a) from 
fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a eth1: 56 data bytes

64 bytes from fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.058 ms
-
But I cannot ping6 from one machine to another:
-
[...@helen ~]$ ping6 -Ieth1 fe80::202:2dff:fe21:3c9
PING fe80::202:2dff:fe21:3c9(fe80::202:2dff:fe21:3c9) from 
fe80::240:f4ff:fe4d:608a eth1: 56 data bytes

ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
-

I assume that shorewall is preventing this.
  


Not shorewall, but perhaps ip6tables. Though there is a parameter in 
shorewall.conf to even allow ipv6 at all. You have to enable that.



Incidentally, I didn't find any online documentation
giving much help with IPv6 under Fedora and/or Centos;
all the ipv6 documents seemed aimed at someone
very different to myself.
  


Join the crowd. I have a testbed that is strictly IPv6. No IPv4 except 
for lo's localloop. I run a duo stack host that provides services like 
DNS, NTP (still having acl problems with it), yum repos, and the like. I 
am working on an HTTPD proxy as well. Trying for a strictly IPv6 setup; 
it is hard to impossible.



For example, where is VNC for IPv6? You have to buy it from RealVNC, 
supposedly. The source for TightVNC for FC11 now has IPv6 for the client 
but still not the server. The developer indicated that this is NOT an 
easy mod.


Where is a SIP environment supporting IPv6? SIP Communicator is getting 
there, but still not right. I have not found any other SIPv6 client. 
Asterisk has only recently merged the IPv6 effort, and it has not 
migrated to Trixbox yet.


No IPv6 is still getting little attention. I recently filed a bug on 
FC10 that you cannot have only an IPv6 nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, 
you need at least one IPv4 address, even if it is a dummy like 
127.0.0.1. This is supposedly in glibc, and no one was testing this 
until one of the testers helped me identify the problem so I could 
submit the bug.

Because 

host  fails for this machine, but works for lots of others.

I think it's like this:
If you setup a new F10 box, and never play with any network setting or use 
NM, it works.  If you ever use NM, you're screwed.  I say this because the 
other machines that are working never had anyone login and mess with NM 
(these are all servers in a closet).

That's all right if you only use one audio application at a time.

Both audio signals were completely free of pops or crackles - and there
were no "holes" in the audio output of either. Those holes were plaguing
PA all the time when pulseaudio was new to Fedora :-("



I have been so far pretty happy with PA, but just wanted to add that 
these days many Audio hardware are capable of handling multi-streaming. 
Hopefully PA improves even more and incorporates some of these features. 
Not many have multiple cards, but most do have these multi-stream 
capable audio hardware. They come in pretty handy if you actually use 
your desktop as your primary home multimedia device.

I've never had any problems like this. If the machine gets an IP
by DHCP, the server registers the hostname in DNS, independent of
the client machine running NM or not. If the hostname is specified
in DHCP_HOSTNAME.

Without access to the server's logfiles it would be difficult
to find out what your problem is...

Unless you can sniff the DHCP packets, or make a local setup
with your own DHCP server, not connected to the rest of the
network.

Resoning for SELinux to deny this:

Login programs are becoming a lot larger, lots of software needs to be
run in order to allow "Assisted Technologies".  Most of this software
can be executed by a non logged in user, so a bug in the software could
compromise the system.  Allowing the login program to manipulate the
boot environment might allow a slightly compromised login program to
turn off security options like SELinux, or change other kernel options.

All this for arguable value.

Again this all comes down to what sixxes.net is providing you. Did they

On your tunnel termination box, ie your IPv6 gateway.

You have to allow IPv6 forwarding and your ip6tables has to be set up 
accordingly, or disable it. You need to set up a static IPv6 address for 
the inward facing ethernet (or WiFi) interface on this system, with the 
lower 64 bits the assigned prefix. The higher 64 bits can be anything 
you choose, there is a way to map the 48 bit mac addr into these 64 
bits, but I advise against it. Plan for the situation where the 
gateway's internal MAC address changes. This is one of my 'issues' with 
the who IPv6ops area.


No your entry into radvd.conf is relatively easy:

interface eth1
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
MinRtrAdvInterval 30;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 100;
prefix 1:2:3:4::/64
{
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvRouterAddr off;
};
route ::/0
{
};
};


Where eth1 is your internal interface name, and 1:2:3:4:: is the 
assigned prefix.


If your gateway has multiple interfaces or is vlaned, that is easy to 
setup, but then you need a larger prefix allocation like a /60. If you 
need mobility, I can provide the information for that too, as in my 
testbed, I have multiple vlans and move systems by moving them across 
vlans. If you have an internal router, then that is where you do all 
this and then you need IPv6static routing. I am doing that and can show 
how that needs to be set up.

Please let us (particularly me!) know of any progress along this line.

As will be apparent, I am more or less completely at sea with IPv6 -
I'm stumbling in the dark.
Basically, I would like a very simple document
(preferably not starting with 10 pages on the history of IPv6,
and a lecture on the size of 2^128)
which explains eg the roles of aiccu and radvd in terms of a home network
with a fixed IPv4 address,
and what is meant by Scope:Link and Scope:Global, etc.

NM problems

[Neal Becker]

I have a number of strange things in NM.

If I view 'edit connections' I see:

Auto Ethernet: 14 minutes ago
System eth1: never
Auto eth1: never

1.  I am now connected to 'system eth1', but it says 'never'.

2. If I choose auto ethernet it works fine and the settings are editable in 
this dialog.

3. If I choose 'system eth1', it works fine but settings are all grayed out.

Why are settings all grayed out in 'system eth1'?  In /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts/ifcfg-eth1 it says:
USERCTL=yes
and
NM_CONTROLLED=yes

What is it looking for?

Yep. The main reason I always remove pulseaudio is the apparent total
inability to send already encoded sound (like a DVD soundtrack) to the
SP/DIF optical output on my motherboard's sound interface. I spent
weeks decrypting the ALSA gibberish required to get this working,
then pulseaudio wiped out all the work. If it can do it, then it
needs a better mixer interface to show how to do it, if it can't do
it, it needs to be able to before it can replace ALSA for me.

In fact, I suspect what linux needs far more than pulseaudio is a layer
on top of ALSA that sorts all the hardware specific gibberish ALSA
names like "IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA" into something more meaningful
and provides some explanation for why I have 27 "simple" ALSA sound controls
when my motherboard has only 7 sound related connectors :-).

What is the interface name for the tunnel? Do an ifconfig on it. It

However, there is no information from sixxes.net on a prefix allocation, 
so no radvd for you. There are other methods, but check with them on how 
they recommend you configure for internal IPv6 hosts.

Hold your breath. I am working with some FC9 and FC10 boxes to work with 
shorewall6. My plan is to work out the resulting IP6tables and copy 
those to Centos boxes. At least those rules that should work with the 
Centos kernel.



Please let us (particularly me!) know of any progress along this line.

As will be apparent, I am more or less completely at sea with IPv6 -
I'm stumbling in the dark.
Basically, I would like a very simple document
(preferably not starting with 10 pages on the history of IPv6,
and a lecture on the size of 2^128)
which explains eg the roles of aiccu and radvd in terms of a home network
with a fixed IPv4 address,
and what is meant by Scope:Link and Scope:Global, etc.


I lived IPng back in the '90s. I walked away from it for quite a while, 
and it has morphed and grown. Things are far from easy until we get true 
IPv6 (I am fortunate, Verizon is rolling out their IPv6 plan, and my ISP 
got on the early adoption effort), as well as routers that naturally 
work with IPv6. We are a year off from that for other than the medium to 
big companies...

how to display a full WUXGA "test pattern" on the laptop?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  almost certainly a dumb question, but i've never tried this before
-- if i have a 1920x1200, say, png file, how can i display it *fully*
on a laptop display, temporarily overriding the menu bars and so on?
thanks.

rday

p.s.  ideally, i guess i'd want to need to press ESC to get back to a

Label Program reccomendations ??

[William Case]

Hi;

Can someone recommend a quick and easy label maker.  Up to now I have
used the label facility on OOo Writer.  Its OK, in fact, its good for a
large-ish merge etc. but a bit of a PIA for just one or two file folder
etc. labels.

I want something, command line will do, that will let me quickly type in
a file folder title and use a label from a sheet that already has used a
few labels.  I expect I will have to configure the label properties one
time but I would hope I could name that configuration.  I would like
something like the following:

Label configuration name:  FF
Label position: 1 - 10 (say)
Label title: Alphanumeric characters

So that I could do something like:

]$ labelprogram FF 4 "my new file folder"

or

] labelprogram FF 4-6 "my new file folder" "Another File Folder" "The
Third new file folder"

This example is only one possibility.  Just looking for
something/anything that is quick and easy.

I used glables recently when I needed something different form OOo.  Its
instalable from yum, worked well and I think would meet your needs.

Bill,

I don't know of any existing program that will do that at the command
line, but here's an idea: Glabels is a gui label program that will do
most of what you want, and I notice that there is a glabels-batch
program to batch-print labels previously set up using the GUI.

You could probably write a short wrapper script to take the command-line
text arguments, put them in a temporary CSV file, then use glabels-batch
and the CSV-merge capability to grab that data and print. I notice that
glabels-batch does support the -f flag to specify which label to start
printing on.

Many of the Gnome tools will switch to full-screen mode when you press
the F11 key.  You can toggle back to windowed mode by pressing it again,
or the Esc key.

I'm curious what you'd use as a test pattern, and what you would test.

Although pulseaudio is capable of sending audio to the digitial out
interface it doesn't do any sort of multi-channel audio over digital
(i.e. AC3/DTS, etc). What your are talking about is AC3/DTS
pass-through. If you tell ALSA properly to pass-through AC3 audio
streams then it will completely bypass pulseaudio.

In fact, this is what I do on my MythTV box which coexists happily
with pulseaudio. How you get pass-through working is unfortunately
something you have to do on a program by program basis. If you list
which specific applications you're having trouble with then there is
probably someone on the list that can help you.

First a warning - you want to be careful about running a label sheet
through the printer multiple times, especially with labels missing.
You run the risk of labels coming off and jamming the printer. This
is especially true if the paper path bends the sheet, and/or you are
using a laser printer.

Having said that, it is not too hard to set up a script that will
take a postscript template, and insert your text into it. I have one
that I use for envelopes. (I have versions that use dialog and
Xdialog to get the information, but grabbing it from the command
line would be a simple change.)

You can probably get your template by printing the label output from
OO as a postscript file and going from there. It would probably be
easier to build a script for each label type, rather then one script
to handle multiple labels...

  i'll be driving that image file out the DVI port into a projector
that projects a WUXGA image and i want to see how well the projector
handles simple images, all the way up to really "stressful" images,
like alternating white and black pixels.

  and if anyone knows where i can grab full WUXGA images/test patterns
out there on the intertoobz, that would be cool.  otherwise, i'll just
gimp up a bunch of them.

YMMV, If the automated sensing doesn't get things right, the traditional tweaks 
don't seem to work either.  I update F10 and look every once in a while to see 
if the INTEL drivers will get rid of the black band down the right side of my

Re: Label Program reccomendations ??

[William Case]

Thanks Mikkel;

I am going to take a look at glabels and if that is still too much of a
PIA, I will try and build a script(s) from postscript templates as you
suggest.

I have been warned on several occasions about this danger.  Nonetheless,
I have run label sheets through my various printers multiple times with
no difficulty yet.  Something in my Scottish ancestry prevents me from
wasting a whole sheet of labels for just one label.  Something from my
German ancestry makes me want to put nice neat labels on each new file
folder I create.

I am sure I will pay the price for listening to my inner daemons some
day.

I don't have any trouble after removing pulseaudio

Without removing pulseaudio I could never get mplayer to do the
passthrough at all. This script plays DVDs just fine with
audio going out to SP/DIF:

amixer set IEC958 unmute
amixer set 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' 0
amixer set 'IEC958 Playback Source' PCM
exec mplayer dvd://1 -alang en -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 -ac hwdts,hwac3, 
-monitoraspect 16:9 -fs

Then pulseaudio came along, and nothing I tried would get this
script to work again until I tried "yum erase pulseaudio" :-).

gnome-panel applets hangs

[Özgür Caner]

Hello,

I'm using FC10 on two different computers and both have the same problem.
After a while working with the computer gnome-panel hangs not the
panel itself but the clock applet stops updating and some of the
notification icons disappear.

I attached a screenshot showing my problem!

To workaround that problem, I do a right click on the clock applet and
then click on preferences/settings. After that clock applet works and
the disappeared icons are visible too.

Is there a better solution for this problem?

thx

Re: Resizing NTFS partition to make room for FC10

[Jerry Feldman]

I know this is a little off topic.  I did google around looking for 
the correct forum to post this question but had little luck.  If 
anyone can make an informed suggestion I'd very much appreciate it.


I have a 150GB ATA disk, /dev/hdb, containing winxp.  I'd like to move 
the contents to an spare 80GB ATA disk, /dev/hda, to make room for a 
full install of FC10 on the larger disk in preparation for ultimately 
getting the winxp install running under a linux based VM.


From knoppix, I started by using ntfsresize to shrink the xp partition 
down to 20GB.  That worked suprisingly fine.
I then installed the smaller drive and used dd to copy over the image 
of the xp installation:  dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hda bs=1000 
count=2000


I rebooted and voila! it worked - sort of.  The new disk boots xp but 
it still, according to fdisk, thinks its 150GB.  So I used fdisk to 
delete and redefine the xp partition (primary, bootable type=7) with 
the new size of the drive, 20GB.  After rebooting xp came up but then 
started quickly blue screening a message I couldn't read, and 
rebooting.  This repeated in a loop until I just rebooted.  I tried 
the whole process over again but this time specified 80GB to dd and 
fdisk, same disaster.


I tried everything again, but this time instead of fdisk I fired up 
gparted to see if I could resize from there hoping that if it could 
some magic would also fix the invalid sizing detected by fdisk.  
gparted could see the drive but couldn't recognize it as having 
anything it could work with.  I highlighted the drive and the progress 
bar stayed gray.


So far it seems I can use the drive this way without causing xp any 
problems.  The issue is things just don't look right and I suspect it 
will come back to bite me one day.  I'm not an expert at manipulating 
bits on a hard drive just yet.  Could someone point me to my error?  
Is what I'm trying do-able?  If its a conceptual problem a little 
education would come in handy too.
I think that Tod got a lot of good solutions have been proposed. I just 
want to make some clarifications.


ntsfresize (and resize.e2fs, etc) resize file systems, not partitions. 
This is why fdisk things the disk is 150GB. fdisk only looks at the 
partition tables. So, resizing a partition is physically a 2-step 
operation that gparted, qtparted, et. al. do as if it were a single 
step. If you ever have to resize an LVM, it is much the same. To shring, 
first shrink the file system, then the logical volume, to make it 
larger, do just the opposite.


Please report your success once you have virtualized XP into F10, and 
what virtual manager you have used.

I don't have this problem for a couple of fedora versions. nevertheless,
gnome-keyring-manager should help you in changing the password and avoid
the window (1st suggestion above). If the problem persist, do delete the

Just tried "mplayer -ao alsa -ac hwac3, TRANSFORMERS.iso" and it
picked the right output automatically. I'm running alsa ver. 1.0.19
and pulseaudio ver. 0.9.14. Not that it matters much you can also use
the option -afm hwac3 which will try both AC3 & DTS and you don't need
the "," for fallback.

It may be an ALSA driver issue. I remember having more issues when I
was running nForce boards with AC97 audio. All my new boards are
AMD/ATI chipset with HDA audio and work quite well without much
fiddling.

I agree completely. The only thing that is a mystery for me is what is kdm

I can't print, sort of.

[Alan Evans]

Sometime recently, printing stopped working in some applications.

I can go into System->Administration->Printing and print a test page.
And I can print without problem with OpenOffice Writer.

Firefox won't print anymore. It pops up the dialog with the progress
bar stating it's printing, which quickly disappears, but the little
tray icon that indicates printing never shows up and the printer never
wakes up.

Gedit pops up a dialog complaining "Can't prompt for authorization"
when I try to print from it.

I see nothing relevant in /var/log/messages. Should I be looking
somewhere else for printer-related messages?

The printer, for its part, is shared from a Windows machine in our
office, so the Device URI is of the "smb://" variety.

Printing used to work all around. I don't print very often, so I'm not
sure when it stopped working.

I thought I had no machine with a global scope address,

I'm 90% sure it would work fine but newegg is a little light on
details such as chipsets (North bridge, PCMCIA, etc). I have a
somewhat similar laptop. HP Core2Duo ~2.5Ghz with Nvidia Quadro 570M
graphics (1920x1200) and it works quite well with the proprietary
drivers.

The problem is that mindless enforcement isn't always a good idea. For
example, once the breakage happened, pushing the fixed version directly to
stable was the *right* thing to do. (It was a serious regression, it needed
fixing as quickly as possible.) And he actually submitted it for testing
first, but then changed it to stable before a push actually happened,
certainly based on positive feedback. But pushing the previous update (the
one which caused the regression) directly to stable was the mistake.

No.

Upstream TeXLive 2008 has something like this, but it's blocked because of
licensing issues, and there are also technical issues caused by that
package manager (how to make it coexist with RPM?).

No experience, but this thing has an NVidia graphics card. Those are the
source of worlds of pain. I strongly recommend going with Intel integrated
graphics instead (but NOT the GMA 500 "Poulsbo" - that one is not supported
yet).

I'm using an N80Vn-X5 on Fedora 10 which is pretty similar to what you 
are looking at. The only thing I had to do special was tell ALSA to use 
a particular model of "m51va" for sound to work. I need to get around to 
filing a bug on that. Otherwise it works great. I get about 3-4 hours 
battery life. The 9560m GT is not a problem. I use my own dkms RPM for 
the nVidia binary driver since the rpmfusion kmod driver is nothing but 
a mess. Yes, I've talked to rpmfusion but they do their own thing.

Not all compiz effects working

[Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu]

Hello Everyone,

I am running Fedora 10 x86_64 on a P5Q-E motherboard with a Radeon HD
3870 graphics card.  I'm using the fglrx module provided by RPMs from
the rpm fusion non-free repo. My desktop environment is Gnome.

I have "desktop effects" enabled, which has let me put the desktop on a
cube and has made the windows wobbly.  Cool!  Unfortunately, enabling
more 3D effects using the CompizConfig Settings Manager doesn't work.

For example, I turned on Expo, which should activate after moving the
mouse to the top left corner.  It never works.  3D Windows, which should
make my windows appear to float above the desktop when I spin the
desktop, doesn't work either.  As far as I can tell, none of the
additional effects are working.

I've tried deleting all my compiz settings, restoring the default compiz
settings, enabling/disabling "desktop effects", and logging in and out
(even complete reboots).  Nothing has fixed the problem.

Am I missing something, or do the additional effects not work with my 3D
card?  Incidentally, I have been able to use all of the above effects
(and more) on a HP notebook running the i386 version of Fedora 10 with
an embedded Intel chipset.

Regards,

Ranbir

Robert, I have an ASUS mobo in this machine, but had I known the problems I 
would encounter with its broken bios, I would not have touched it for any 
price.  As it was, I paid nearly $300 USD just for the board, an M2N-SLI 
Deluxe.  I think the board is good, but the bios is a certified problem child.  
They have a newer, beta rated one on their web site, which fixes a problem in 
memory allocation that any linux kernel does a 1 times oops on very early in 
the boot sequence, but I have yet to get a 1 hour uptime out of it.  If I use 
the one that does the oops, uptimes are weeks if I want them.  And they aren't 
fixing it, that beta copy is now almost 3 years old according to its internal 
dates when unzip'd!  Repeated emails, 3 now, to support have never been 
acknowledged either.  After that, nope, not with a 50 foot borrowed pole.

I gave up on trying to run labels through my printers.  The inkjet would
scuff the labels, smudge the ink, and catch on the edges of labels.  The
laser didn't like anything that thick going through it.  Now I use an
old electric typewriter.

Ok, I think I did that, setting it to akonadi as user and passwords, but I 
left the line about a unix socket at the bottom of the form as is.  Then I ran 
mysqladministrator and added akonadi as a new user, and assigned the same 
passwords.  But when I tried to start the akonadi server, the window 
eventually pops up listing a number of checks.  Since that window shrinks to 
nothing in about 10 seconds, and faster if you try to scroll down the list, I 
finally gave up and copied it to the clipboard, so there that is:

It is. The proprietary driver is known to cause many problems (crashes,
serious performance and rendering issues etc.) which we cannot fix because
only NVidia has access to the source code.

Re: I can't print, sort of.

[antonio montagnani]

Alan Evans ha scritto:

Sometime recently, printing stopped working in some applications.

I can go into System->Administration->Printing and print a test page.
And I can print without problem with OpenOffice Writer.

Firefox won't print anymore. It pops up the dialog with the progress
bar stating it's printing, which quickly disappears, but the little
tray icon that indicates printing never shows up and the printer never
wakes up.

Gedit pops up a dialog complaining "Can't prompt for authorization"
when I try to print from it.

I see nothing relevant in /var/log/messages. Should I be looking
somewhere else for printer-related messages?

The printer, for its part, is shared from a Windows machine in our
office, so the Device URI is of the "smb://" variety.

Printing used to work all around. I don't print very often, so I'm not
sure when it stopped working.

grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template (Xen)

[Ray Van Dolson]

Hi, I'm trying to update the kernel on a powered-off domU by mounting
the image via loopback on the dom0 host, chroot'ing and doing an rpm
-Uvh on the kernel files.

This post[1] has a bit more information.

In short, the kernel seems to install alright, but grubby complains:

# rpm -Uvh --force kernel-PAE-*.rpm
warning: kernel-PAE-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: 
NOKEY, key ID 4ebfc273
Preparing...### [100%]
   1:kernel-PAE ### [ 50%]
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
   2:kernel-PAE-devel   ### [100%]

My guess is this is because I'm in a chroot environment, and grubby
must either be finding my dom0's grub.conf file or is confused about
something else related to the fact that I'm not in the "true" domU
environment.

My question is: is there a "right" way to do this sort of thing?  I
think I can just edit the grub.conf file by hand and everything will
work OK, but maybe there's a way I can tell grubby to do what it needs
to do and see the correct templates and such to update grub.conf on
its own.

Didn't really get a response on the fedora-xen list.  I'm not sure if
this is a bug or not, but thought I'd throw it out here first before
filing something against mkinitrd.

Thanks much,
Ray

If "it is" then someone has to have a serious talking to with all of my
systems  Apparently they didn't get the memo.  They are all running
various nVidia cards and they all run without any crashes and the
performance is very good.
