I do use python, but I'm new to it. Your comment about the .pyc being recompiled was a great reminder. Thank you. rpm -Va python only flaged that one file. I did mv it, and then ran yum successfully. This was all an excellent reminder of how to properly troubleshoot these kinds of problems. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I do use python, but I've checked my root history and I've not manually installed any python packages since I installed F11. The version is 2.6 To get a little cleaner list output, I ran python from root: Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Jun 8 2009, 16:07:26) [GCC 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> for which in sys.path: ... print which ... /usr/lib/python26.zip /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2 /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Numeric /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PIL /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gst-0.10 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0 The PYTHONPATH environment variable is not set And, no, this is not a x86_64 box. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
python error with yum on F11
I just started getting the following error from yum: There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: cannot import name Popen 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: 2.6 (r26:66714, Jun 8 2009, 16:07:26) [GCC 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq Popen is supposed to be provided by subprocess.py, and I've confirmed that class Popen is in the /usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py module. I don't see anything helpful on the website above, or in a google search, or in pinging a few helpful associates. Any guidance from this community will be appreciated.

Re: Using a USB Hub on Linux ?
Folks - You can argue that USB isn't supposed to do this, but in reality it works. My wife uses Windows XP and I set her up with an IOGear USB 2.0 Peripherals Sharing Hub, model GUB201. It has worked wothout a hitch in letting her switch one printer between her desktop and laptop. Ergo, it CAN be done. As for doing it in FC? I don't know. I haven't had a huge need to figure it out.

Re: hplip
Patrick - When I installed hplip for my OfficeJet J6480, the automatic configuration didn't work correctly. Further, I couldn't fix it with either system-config-printer, cups, or lpadmin. I had to manually delete the printer from the printers.conf file, the restart the cups service. That was just to get to a point of having no printers defined. >From there I was able to run system-config-printer and get my printer working correctly. I don't know if that will work in your case, but it might worth considering.
