Perhaps for an upgrade, but it shouldn't for an installation.  That
should only take a few minutes.  And unless the original poster has
written about this in another thread, I only see an installation being
mentioned.

For new installs, I usually prefer to do fairly minimal installs, then
add extra stuff on, afterwards.  You've got a better working
environment, then.  And you avoid installing stuff that needs immediate
upgrades.

Bug in gnome, titlebar corruption when the window is wider than the display width.

2009-06-23 Thread Anuar, Nuhairi
Hi,
Do you guys notice there is 2D corruption in Gnome on Fedora 10?
When the window is stretched really long (2 or 3 time longer than the desktop), 
the title bar will be corrupted.
To reproduced it:

1)  Open any window in gnome (terminal, my computers)

2)  Drag to the left until you can see small part of the window only.

3)  Resize the window to the right as much as possible to make it a very 
wide width window.

4)  Repeat 3 or 4 time

5)  You will see the corruption.

This happen on every display driver (vesa, nvidia, iegd, intel). On every 
different hardware.


Regards,
gallium

Is it in bugzilla already?

It's reproducible with Fedora 11. And changing the theme doesn't make a
difference (as opposed to the scrollbar corruption issue, bz #506671).

Dual screen / Xinerama

2009-06-23 Thread Gary Stainburn
Hi folks,

I've got on this topic before and also done a load more googling but I still 
haven't got an answer.

I have a FC10 / WinXP system at home with a NVidia GForce 9600 card in it. 
Attached to it I have 2 19" screens.

In WinXP everything works fine. I have the left screen as the main one and can 
open and drag windows between the two screens with ease.

However, in FC10 all I can manage to do is to get both screens to have the 
content which is of course no use.

My research points to me needing to use Xinerama. However, that same research 
indicates that this is no longer supported being replaced by another project 
which then itself got dropped.

Is this true? 
If not, does anyone have SIMPLE instructions on how to set it up
If yes, is there an alternative system I could use?

Cheers
Gary

It might be worth filing a bug about this since it doesn't seem right 
that the computer sits in an idle state for so long at the end of the 
install.  I suspect that it should be a lot quicker than this and that 
on some systems something takes ages to time out.

Hi

I had the same problem (F11)
The cure for me was to ensure that the name of the local machine (naxos) is
available to "mount"
Putting the name in /etc/hosts on naxos does the job

naxos ~ 2# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 
naxos
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

It is not good enough that hostname is set

My advice would be to reboot after adding the name to /etc/hosts
(assuming its missing) I wasted hours stopping and starting rpcidmapd type 
services
before discovering I had fixed the problem in the first 5 minutes
but that a clean restart was needed !

/etc/host.conf has changed in F11 I played with this as
well but don't think its relevant
multi on
order hosts,bind

---
In case the problem is on the server side (maui) Centos 5.3
my files look like this

maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 1# cat /etc/exports

I use the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. As my monitors are not exactly the 
same size, note that you'd probably need to edit the "PreferredMode" Option.  
I included those modes explicitly as one of my monitors was defaulting to a 
crappier resolution that what it could handle.

This works for me in F10 and F11 with the open source nouveau driver.

If you know what binary is issuing the error message you can

readelf -d  | grep RPATH

to determine the library path of the binary.

I've also found that "ldd -v " is helpful in tracking down
problems in that area.

My personal preference is to simply delete any symlinks under
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart.  You will have to set up all of
your virtual networks (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-... files),
firewall rules, and dnsmasq configuration manually.

Install the nvidia proprietary driver

yum install akmod-nvidia

With the dependencies, you will find a graphic tool: nvidia-display-settings

It will help you.

Gary,

Use Twinview.  I do this with Fedora 10 and it works perfectly.

Step 1:  Install nvidia proprietary drivers from rpm-fusion
Step 2: Run nvidia-settings -  I don't remember the name of the problem
because Gnome Do always fills it in for me, but it's pretty obvious
Step 3:  Click on the second entry on the left
Step 4:  Click on the "disabled" monitor
Step 5:  Click on Configure (or something like that - I'm not in front of my
machine now)
Step 6:  Click Twinview
Step 7:  Set that monitor as "left of" or "right of" the other
Step 8:  Click Apply
Step 9:  Click OK to keep the settings
Step 10:  Quit the nvidia program

If you want to not have to repeat those 10 steps every time you log in, you
need to write the settings to your Xorg.conf, but I don't remember how to do
that off the top of my head.  It also means you have to run the nvidia
program as root so that yuo can write to Xorg.conf

Can't get any SIMPLER than that.

Years?  Bugs filed?  If so, where?

Could very well simply be a bug in dovecot and/or incompatibility between
dovecot/kmail.

One of two ways, you can either allow squid to connect to any port by 
turning on the squid_connect_any boolean


setsebool -P squid_connect_any 1

Or you can tell SELinux port 2082 is an http port

semanage port -a -t http_port_t 2082

You're absolutely right. I naively thought that info on colourizing the
output of yum would be in the man page for yum, while in fact that page
simply mentions that you can "colorize" the output but doesn't say what
it means, nor that further info is in the yum.conf man page.

All the same, thanks for the tip.

That's another advantage of reading man pages in konqueror.  As you start to 
type the name in you see a list of all related man pages (name-related, that

OT: Dual Pentium III, good enough for current 2.6 kernel linux?

2009-06-23 Thread Fernando Cassia
I´m contemplating what to do with one of my old desktops which is a
dual Pentium III, 650Mhz, with 1 Gig of RAM and
ATA-33 hard disk controller, plus two Elsa Gloria Synergy 8MB PCI
video adapters (video chipset? I don´t even remember) for a
dual-display config.

Would Fedora 11 run OK in such a system. I´m afraid Gnome might eat a
lot of the cpu horsepower available, just for eye candy...

Or perhaps it´s best to leave it running as-is as a museum piece with
its current OS/2 4.52 (WSeB) with SMP kernel? ;-)

Upgrading it to the fastest possible CPUs has circled my mind, but I
don´t think it´d be worth investing a single extra penny in this
system.

If I remember correctly the highest CPU that could be installed on
this system were 1Ghz Pentium III but with a 100Mhz FSB and 10x
multiplier.
However those CPUs were hard to come by even at the time (1999), as
most were 133Mhz bus already.

So I don´t even know how likely it´d be today to find a pair of 1Ghz
512K cache - 100 Mhz bus PIII cpus with matching Stepping ID.

Perhaps I should just throw it out the window and get a $250 netbook
which @ 1.6 Ghz will give me better performance than this anvil?.

The thought of selling it as metal scrap by the pound / kilogram also
has circled my mind...

Not really. I knew already that yum.conf had its own man page. What I
didn't realize is that I needed to look there for info on colours.
Judging by the various hypotheses put forward in this thread I suspect
that I'm not the only one.

In fact if I used one of the desktop search engines I might have saved
myself and everyone else the bother, but I still haven't come across one
that worked reliably and didn't eat all my cpu. Admittedly it has been
quite a while since I tried.

I may be wrong, but I noticed in a previous upgrade that in that
phase the machine is disk-limited as it is executing a great
quantity of sync() functions, related to the rpm database.

I would really like a simple way to turn the sync() stuff off
when doing an upgrade.
I know I know, it is dangerous and "libeatmydata" etc., but
an upgrade is already considered a risk by me, so I always backup
before upgrading; at that point, I would kick the sync() stuff
out of the way very happily.

x86_64 install fails, i386 install works, but ubuntu fixes all

2009-06-23 Thread B Wooster
Summary - based on the Fedora docs, I started with x86_64 install for
a Core 2 Duo system, with  NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i Chipset,
IDE CD/DVD, and SATA hard drive.

Seems like the packaging of x86_64 is different from i386 in terms of
supported drivers - i386 is much better at recognizing the drivers?

This is for a GIGABYTE GA-73PVM-S2
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2734&ProductName=GA-73PVM-S2

All installs were using ISO image, burned to DVD.
Fedora 11 x86_64: right after booting, it shows problems. It starts a
text-install, so it has failed to recognize the video. Then, after
selecting English, it asks for Install mode, I pick CD/DVD, and it
then says "no driver found". I manually select pata_amd (see i386
below), but immediately get back into the "no driver found"  so this
is now an infinite loop, can't hit F12 to get to next screen, no way
to quit, have to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL.
I then retried this, using Network install
(ftp://local-computer/). This proceeds fine - in text mode. So it
did at least  get the network "forcedeth" driver correct.
But of course, after the install is done, it fails to start X - I did
not note down the error, so all I have now is a text login.

Then I tried the i386 install. This sails through with no trouble.
Automatically finds CD/DVD drive, does the install in VGA mode, and
after install, X works just fine.
Then, I tried to make DVD playback work - followed all instructions
for libdvdcss, xine, totem, etc, but no luck - cannot play DVDs,
something about MPEG codec not found.

Finally, I decided to try a different distribution.
Chose Kubuntu 9.04 amd64 (basically Ubuntu, basically debian). This
64-bit install worked like the i386 Fedora install - all smooth.
(Though Fedora install was more aesthetically pleasing! Nicer
graphics/prompts, better feedback).

Kubuntu first-boot was smooth - it popped up a window "hardware driver
upgrade", which was required to get into full 1600x1200 mode on my
display, to install the proprietary nvidia drivers. DVDs played back
too! Dragon Player asked to download required files, and everything
just worked. This was amazing - much smoother experience than Fedora
11 x86_64

Hope this helps anyone else struggling with Fedora - after 10 years of
Fedora, I think I'm going to stick with Ubuntu for now, but might be
back when I have time to try Fedora 13 or some such version, hoping
that all these problems may be fixed by then.

I may have time to try one more re-install - so if anyone has tips on
how to make x86_64 install work, please post.

Broadcom BCM43XX Nightmarte on F11

2009-06-23 Thread Christopher A. Williams
I have a couple of laptops I've been working on that I have not been
able to get WiFi to come up on at all.

Both of them have the Broadcom BC43XX series adapters. One of them is a
Gateway MX6030 laptop equipped with a Broadcom BCM4318 adapter and the
other is a Dell Inspiron e1705 with a BCM4311 adapter.

In each case, the default F11 B43 drivers simply don't work at all. I
also have tried the kmod-wl / broadcom-wl drivers from RPM Fusion. No
Dice.

This is really starting to irritate me It's almost to the point that
I'm ready to rip these adapters out of these machines and replace them
with Intel ones if I can find some that will fit.

What needs to happen to have Broadcom's goofy hardware to behave and
actually work using F11?

Do you have a network of computers?  Sometimes a command-line only box
is useful to test networks.  Then there's using a low powered box to run
various low powered services (DNS, DHCP, non-database webserving,
jukebox fileserver, etc.).

I have something even worse than that as a DNS, HTTP, DHCP, NTP, mail,
and central fileserver.  Albeit still running a very old version of
Fedora.  I've thought about shifting it to CentOS, to avoid using an out
of date server, or repeatedly having to update a server (which can be a
pain).

I was running a dual PIII with about the same specs not
too long ago. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't really
peppy either. The biggest problem is likely to be the
video. There are so many older video cards no longer
supported by the shipped xorg. You might want to try
a livecd and see if it can talk to the video.

Details are needed. Some broadcom cards won't work.

Give us the output of lspci -vv (only the specific to the wifi card).

All PIIIs are single cores, AFAIK. Mine is dual in the sense of having
two CPUs, including heatsink. You know, good ole "SMP" before the
multicore craze started.

Good to know F11 runs OK. I wasn´t even sure it included i586 kernels.

Despite that fact that Broadcom are arseholes when it comes to Linux 
I've found the adaptors work pretty damn well, thanks to the guys who've 
meticulously worked to provide the kernel drives. I would guess that 
you're missing the required firmware? It isn't distributed with Fedora 
for legal reasons. Have a look here, particularly the section about 
firmware installation:

This has worked perfectly for me, for both BCM4306 and BCM4311. If you

kdesu not working

2009-06-23 Thread Martín Marqués
I was changing some preferences on KDE and bumped with a problem when
trying to change kdm settings. kdesu asks for the root password, and
after supplying it, it asks for it again (tried numerous times to
enter it, with the same result).

Is there something wrong with kdesu?

I'm with F11 with the latest updates.

Gnome ought to run ok on it given enough memory. It likes to eat memory
but fortunately many of the other most obvious problems with Gnome's
performance are design problems that make it very sensitive to latency
and to disk seek performance. Disk performance hasn't really changed in
years and the latency problems are going to affect all processors fairly
equally.

In other words on a lower CPU box most of the desktop will simply spend
a bit less CPU time waiting while performing pointless disk I/O and while
waiting for other bits of Gnome to respond. Like driving a fast car in
traffic you don't actually arrive any earlier

... etc ...

  that is *exactly* the setup on the gateway laptop i have next to me,
on which i'd like to install f11 later this week, so if you keep
careful notes, that would be just ducky!  :-)

  actually, i have a pretty good idea how to install then add the
appropriate firmware later, but if someone can verify the steps before
i get there, well, bonus.

I'm using KDE. Why should that matter? I run plenty of Gnome apps under
KDE, such as Evolution, which I'm using to reply to this. Furthermore,
the "yum info" on fbreader gives no indication that it's desktop
dependant. It's described simply as "an e-book reader" with a list of
features.

Thanks!

This worked like a champ. On both machines.

Just for clarification on F11, the _only_ thing that is missing is the
firmware. The b43-fwcutter version that comes with F11 works on the
firmware packages. There is no need to install it again. Also, the
firmware directory on F11 is /lib/firmware - the default location for
most distros.

All I needed to to was to download the correct firmware package and
extract per the instructions above, and voila!

Cheers,

Chris

full java development out of the box?

2009-06-23 Thread Robert P. J. Day

  at the moment, does f11 have a full java development environment
using only the openjdk packages?  on my system right now:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-22.b16.fc11.x86_64
java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.6.0.0-22.b16.fc11.x86_64
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-22.b16.fc11.x86_64
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-22.b16.fc11.x86_64

can i assume that i'm set to go for java development and that i don't
need to hustle over to sun for anything extra?  is there a fedora page
that clarifies this?  thanks.

Of course I knew that. In my mind, "dual" and "dual core" are the same
thing and don't necessarily mean that the cores are on the same die.
Kind of like when I say a Sun E1 is 64-core, I don't mean on a
single chip. (Since I don't pay close attention to shifting

modprobe warnings

2009-06-23 Thread Beartooth TpBkR

One machine always gives me warnings during boot, saying that 
modprobe.conf is deprecated, and that all conf files belong into [sic] /
etc/modprobe.d

Do I simply become root and run "mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/
modprobe.d"?? (Or the equivalent using drag-&-drop, with modprobe.d open 
to receive it??)

If it's that simple, why doesn't the software just do it?

You shouldn't have to. In practise, some apps for various reasons might
not work well. In that case, bug reports would be useful.

No idea. I've never tried to find their Linux stuff, just followed links

Linux support.

Rebuilding Kmod-wl

2009-06-23 Thread homburg
I have been experimenting with 2.6.30 vanilla. I am trying
to recompile the kmod-wl rpm for the 2.6.30 kernel. I cannot
find where, in the spec file, to specify the kernel. It
builds for the installed kernel rpm.

Do I need to create a 2.6.30 RPM or is there some way to
edit the spec into submission?

Thanks

F11 is -march=i586 -mtune=generic, F12 is going to be -march=i686
-mtune=atom. Everything from PPro up is i686, so everything should work
just fine.

Re: Rebuilding Kmod-wl

Why not install the akmod-wl available on RPM Fusion ? In your case, it is
perfect, since you have a custom kernel; the module will be rebuilt the next
time you'll reboot on your vanilla kernel.

Simple and easy :)

Would the original poster please answer the following:
Was this a clean install onto newly formatted partitions?
Was there already a /boot partition with ext3 formatting?
Was the disk formatting allowed to happen using default settings or was it
custom partitioning?
Was this an upgrade from a previous version of Fedora (<=F10)?
Was this from an install CD/DVD or from a liveCD?

Once the list can see some of these answers it will probably have an idea of
the best questions to then ask to progress with a solution.

You might look with hdparm and see if your disk has cache disabled, look in

akmod kernels are dependent on kernel-devel.rpm for the
kernel to be accomodated and cannot be used for a vanilla
kernel. 

akmod is intended for kernels in the test or development
repo for which the kmod has not been compiled.

VIA processors such as the C3 are PPro compatible *but* the GNU C
compiler definition of i686 is (was ?) broken and incorrectly used cmov
without checking if it was available. If gcc has been fixed or those
options avoid cmov then it ought to cover any vaguely recent processor
fine (and -mtune=atom seems to produce better code for older processors
than i586)

Possibly packages compat-libstdc++-33 and libXp may be needed?

Did you read the error message that I had posted? The files that

Possibly it is a library search path problem?  See `man ldconfig`

I think that you are right, but I'm not exactly sure what to do about

I ran '/sbin/ldconfig', no help. I tried adding /usr/local/lib/ to
that command line in order to be sure that my relocated compat
libraries were found.

[r...@quarlewm2 bin]# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

FWIW, when I needed to I just added "/usr/local/lib" at the top of
/etc/ld.so.conf, like the various files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/, and
then ran `ldconfig` (no options or paths).


I don't know what "FWIW" means (for what it's worth?), but thanks for
the info. However, the error message "dirname: error while loading

If you know what binary is issuing the error message you can

readelf -d  | grep RPATH

to determine the library path of the binary.

I've also found that "ldd -v " is helpful in tracking down
problems in that area.



I'm not exactly sure what definition you are using for "binary" in this 
case. The binary programs that are issuing the error messages are bash 
and dirname. The binary libraries that are mentioned in the error 
messages are libc.so.6 and libdl.so.2. Could you be more specific as to 
what you mean by "binary" in this case?

any value in refactoring the yum "Authoring and Publishing" group?

2009-06-23 Thread Robert P. J. Day

  typically, when i install fedora, i install the above group since i
know that i'll be working with docbook and XML and so on.  but it
seems that that group could stand some redefining, and possibly
refactoring into smaller bite-sized pieces.

  here's the current definition:

Group: Authoring and Publishing
 Description: These tools allow you to create documents in the DocBook
format and convert them into HTML, PDF, Postscript, and text.
 Default Packages:
   docbook-slides
   docbook-style-dsssl
   docbook-style-xsl
   docbook-utils
   docbook-utils-pdf
   linuxdoc-tools
   texlive
   xhtml1-dtds
   xmlto
 Optional Packages:
   BibTool
   abcm2ps
   conglomerate
   dblatex
   docbook2X
   html401-dtds
   kile
   latex-mk
   latexmk
   lilypond
   lout
   ooo2txt
   python-docutils
   scribus
   tetex-prosper
   txt2rss
   w3c-markup-validator
   xdvik
   xmlcopyeditor
 Conditional Packages:
   tex-cm-lgc


now that list is certainly not complete -- i just filed a bugzilla
request to add the packages "docbook5-schemas" and
"docbook5-style-xsl" since they seem to belong there.  but there are a
lot of other packages that would seem to qualify as well if we're
talking about generating output formats from XML:

$ yum search fop
fop.noarch : XSL-driven print formatter
fop-javadoc.noarch : Javadoc for fop
...

$ yum search xalan
xalan-c.i586 : Xalan XSLT processor for C

xalan-j2-demo.x86_64 : Demo for xalan-j2
xalan-j2-javadoc.x86_64 : Javadoc for xalan-j2
xalan-j2-manual.x86_64 : Manual for xalan-j2
xalan-j2-xsltc.x86_64 : XSLT compiler
...

$ yum search saxon
saxon.noarch : Java XSLT processor
saxon-aelfred.noarch : Java XML parser
saxon-demo.noarch : Demos for saxon
saxon-javadoc.noarch : Javadoc for saxon
saxon-jdom.noarch : JDOM support for saxon
saxon-manual.noarch : Manual for saxon
saxon-scripts.noarch : Utility scripts for saxon
...

  it seems only fair that the above packages belong in the "Authoring
and Publishing" group as well, no?  and if "scribus" is there, surely
"publican" belongs, too.

  on the flip side, some of that content could be removed, perhaps in
huge chunks.  for instance, everything related to "tex" could be
broken out and placed in its own subgroup.  AFAICT, tex is entirely
self-contained, is it not?  so all tex-related packages could be
removed without affecting the rest.

  in addition, there are packages that work strictly(?) with SGML
(docbook-utils, docbook-utils-pdf) and so may not be of much interest
to people dealing strictly with XML input.

  anyway, you get the idea.  that entire yum group looks a bit chaotic
and ill-defined, and it might not be out of line to have a breakdown
of everything related to that topic in smaller subgroups to pick and
choose just what you want.

  thoughts?

Why Intel? I prefer to support the underdog. Plus, AMD Opteron is better. ;-)

I didn't say that was my only machine. It's an old machine I keep
plugged on the home LAN (not powered on, luckily) and boot OS/2 from
time to time, for no reason other than updating Firefox and the like
(yes, there's 32-bit OS/2 builds for it ;-), and remembering about the
good old times when IBM had a clue, and a spine.

Thanks for the advice. But I already have a dozen Virtualbox VMs in my
Dual-Core Opteron with 2 gigs of ram which runs Fedora 11.
My main question, which has been answered already, was if a PIII would
run a recent Linux with some decent performance to make it usable.

I'm not sure a charity would do much with a Pentium III if then they
want to check out a Youtube video and find out the hardware is
underpowered to play a MPEG4 video.

I'd rather give a 9-inch Asus EEE to a charity. or a check for $200 so
they can buy one. (No wait, I'd rather send them the machine).
(But then, I don't believe in charities, generally speaking. Maybe a
school board from a school board I can walk to, but certainly not
anything bigger than that.)

I kinda liked what someone mentioned here about keeping it as a
working spare, with a recent linux. It might be handy to have around
in the event I mess my main system, or need to mess with partitions on
a disk from a live system, or...

In any case, thanks for your reply, and everyone else's. I don't want
to drag this thread too long. :)

based on my current 'hotlist' rules to the gmail account.  Can Kmail do this 
(redirect based on rules) ? Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance

Now that you mention  it, my next endeavour will be installing some
working linux on a tablet with a Transmeta Crusoe TM3200 @ 400 Mhz. It
is an odd processor as it supports SOME but not all i686 arch
instructions.

Huh? This bug has been seen on at least 2 different distributions (Debian
and Fedora). There's no evidence at all of this being caused by a
distribution patch, so until/unless evidence to the contrary is provided,
this has to be assumed to be an upstream bug.

Yeah, I need to research how this stuff works better as I haven't
figured out how to connect to the console when running it from the

I think I figured out my problem though, it looks like libvirtd
disables soundhw if selinux is enabled, even if it's in permissive

I'll test that theory out when I have time in the next few days.

Recap: Host computer is Fedora 10, guest is Windows XP
The problem is to create a network printer instance inside the guest.

Answering my own question:

There are TWO DIFFERENT routes to getting printing working depending 
upon how the printer is connected to the network: that is, what sort of 
print server it is attached to.
If you can access the server using http://192.168.1.11:631, follow #1 
below. If you access the server without adding a port, then follow #2.


***
#1) Attached to a print server using cups/lpd/lpp

Use the 'network printer' option in the Printer Wizard.
For my HP-1320 LaserJet connected using an SMC one-port print server. 
The server interface is http://192.168.1.11:631 and the device URI in 
Fedora (host) is lpd:192.168.1.11/dummy.

The WinXP guest printer uses:

http://192.168.1.11:631/SCED4C99
where SCED4C99 is the internal 'name' of the print server.

You end up with a TCPIP port 'named' http://192.168.1.11:631/SCED4C99 
and a printer named 'unknown on http://192...etc. (there seems to be no 
way to name this printer).


***
#2 Attached to a print server using hplip or some other method.

Do NOT use 'network printer': use 'Local Printer' and create a TCPIP 
port for this printer. Under Fedora this printer shows up as 
'socket:192.168.1.12:9100' and the browser interface to the server is 
accessed directly with http://192.168.1.12.


Since my HP LaserJet MFC 3055 uses tcpip port 9100, I created a port 
9100 and configured the port settings to 'RAW' (not LPD). You can name 
this printer whatever you want.


In both cases, I was able to install printer specific drivers during the 
course of the printer creation. Luckily, I had downloaded (and 
extracted) the postscript drivers prior to attempting the printer 
creation. I selected 'Have Disk' and then found and selected the 'inf' 
file to start the driver installation.



Then go into the printer setup section of your program, and set up the 
printer as desired.


Enjoy


Along the way, I discovered that you MUST have a floppy disk in the 
floppy drive BEFORE mounting it in Fedora, BEFORE the disk will be 
recognized in the WIN guest. I also discovered that a USB key must be 
mounted first under Fedora too.

You probably have a keyring that you didn't request courtesy of the
gnome gremlins.  Check:

~/.gnome2/keyrings

At one point, many fedora releases ago, there was some weirdness where
default.keyring and login.keyring interacted badly and that would cause
such a popup.  These keyrings seem as well documented as the rest of
gnome (meaning hardly at all) so it beats me what they do.  Deleting the
keyrings solved the problem for me back then.  Perhaps it will do the

I used gnome-keyring-editor to delete the keyring. On the next login, it got

Bloody annoying.

If I have gdm autologin to my user account, and there's no password that it

Just a "me too" here. I've got two separate issues, one has to do with this
thread. Just after installing F11 everything seemed fine. I poked the
necessary holes in my firewall and shared my printer queues and my wife
could print from her F10 laptop. Now it seems just about every job gets
"stuck" and I see the AVC denials about python. Here's the details for mine
(just in case anything is different:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing python (hplip_t) "read" security_t.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this
access
is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application
is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can
disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
recommended.

As far as I know, the only way to control IRQ assignment with modern
"helpful" motherboards is to randomly swap cards around in PCI
slots and see what happens. If some of the devices are built-in
and can't be swapped, you get what you get :-(.

I wonder, would this shell script to wget the binaries and then
b43-fwcutter them be the sort of thing that rpmfusion could package up?

Having everybody navigate to a web page, figure out which of several

sounds like the sort of thing that give linux its "user unfriendly"

I'm not sure how I would do that with a CD, but if you created a
bootable USB drive with some persistent storage, it's quite straight
forward to do. 


Assuming a 1GB USB drive, you can create from the command line with:

livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 250  

Then just boot from the USB drive and copy over the files as before.

Cheers,

Chris

If F10's b43 driver worked, it's almost certain that the F11 kernel
will as well.

No. In fact I haven't personally tested this at all, the OP did.

This demand makes no sense. Users don't have vanilla installations (they use
the packages provided by their distribution) and are certainly not going to
build KDE from source just to prove something which should be obvious to
everybody except you (also considering the fact that it can be reproduced
on more than one distribution). And packagers also have other things to do
than building unpatched packages, also considering that it'd mean also
building vanilla kdelibs etc. and also considering that sometimes the
unpatched source doesn't even compile (e.g. because nobody tested it with
the latest GCC which is used in Fedora) or is just broken in some other
way. Plus, installing a properly-packaged vanilla KDE means replacing the
distro one which is also something nobody wants to do.

I know what distribution packagers do, I *am* a Fedora KDE packager. And we
ask users to report their bugs upstream unless there is evidence that
they're specific to Fedora. The vast majority of bugs which are reported to
us are NOT specific to Fedora, they're upstream bugs. Also note that we
don't even have that many patches, we try to stay as close to upstream as
possible.

And as Fedora and Debian use DIFFERENT patches, trying to blame issues on
patches when they can be reproduced in both distros is complete nonsense.

Please stop the bullshit, this is an upstream bug and needs to be reported
and fixed upstream! In distro-specific bug trackers, it'll just bitrot, or
you'll be asked to report it upstream if there's active triaging going on
(which is what happens in Fedora, our triager or one of us packagers will
ask the user to file the bug upstream).

Havn't seen this on Fedora packages, but on Debian non-free there's a
packaged named flashplugin-nonfree, which has a script named
/usr/sbin/update-flashplugin-nonfree that downloads the flashplugin
from the adobe site and installs it.

Same thing could be done for b43 firmware.

You could add a wissh to rpmfusion.

Are we sure they would take this on? They are already carrying the
Broadcom "official" drivers as the kmod-wl package set.

If they did, they would have to make the two mutually exclusive and
explain the difference between them because kmod-wl blacklists the other
F11 B43 drivers.

Still well worth asking the question though...

Cheers,

Chris
