Asian fonts are not shown correctly in F14?

2010-12-09 Thread Joachim Backes
Hi,

I installed some Asiatic fonts, for example the lohit group or thai
fonts, but these fonts are not shown correctly (latin letters are
displayed - the fonts look like  arial for example). I saw this
accidentally if using OO. Then I tried the /usr/bin/display command
(from ImageMagick) for the correspondent ttf files in /usr/share/fonts:
shows the same behaviour.

Finally I tried a lot of fonts offered by OO, and saw a similar behaviour.

ls /usr/share/fonts

bitstream-vera  lohit-bengali opensymbolvlgothic
default lohit-devanagari  paktype-naqsh wine-courier-fonts
dejavu  lohit-gujaratipaktype-tehreer   wine-marlett-fonts

Hi,

if Corel WPO was installed by a .msi file (I don't know), then the
uninstaller does not work. This is a known issue.

And to your special problem: uninstalling wine does not remove the
~/.wine directory, and not the wine parts in
~/.local/share/applications! That's the red wine stain :-)

Kind regards

Fedora 14, Wine 1.3.8, Corel WordPerfect Office 12, now a permanent stain

I hadn't tried Wine in a while so I gave this a go.  After crashing it, 
searching around and finding some suggestions for a better installation, 
I tried to uninstall WPO and begin again.  But, when I run the 
uninstaller, it only pretends to uninstall it--it's still there.  The 
windows are in a barely readable dim grey.  I re-ran the uninstallation 
with the WPO disk, same thing.  So I tried uninstalling Wine, first with

F14 mplayer doesn't adjust brightness in X, nouveau

2010-12-09 Thread stan
I'm having a problem with mplayer in F14 x86_64.  mplayer doesn't allow
the use of the 3 and 4 keys to adjust brightness during playback in X
with nouveau, though it works in the console.

When I used it in F12 with the nv driver, it worked just fine in X.

Would this be a problem in mplayer or nouveau?  Or ???

Wondering if anyone knows how to fix this or what I should report this
as a bug against.

Thanks.

May be able to do something with cut. It may depend on if the records
are newline-terminated or not. but using cut you can specify a set of
bytes to be output (while the rest of the line is discarded), so you
may be able to do something like this:

dd if=yourfilename bs=48 | cut -b 1-8 > outfile

ah. just did a quick hack test with a file containing this:

a234567890123456789012345678901234567890
b234567890123456789012345678901234567890
c234567890123456789012345678901234567890
d234567890123456789012345678901234567890

and this seems to do the trick:

cut filename -b 1-8

giving:

a2345678
b2345678
c2345678
d2345678

which looks like what you wanted.

however this is a text file with newlines,... if it has no newlines
your mileage may vary. in that case you could try some sed or awk
hacks to insert newlines after each 48 bytes then feed it to cut.

good luck!

dd question

I have a binary file with data. Each block of 48 bytes is a record. I 
want to extract the first 8 bytes within each record. I'm thinking this 
should be possible with dd, but gawk, perl - anything goes. It just has 
to be fast, because the data files are ~ 1Gb.

I can do this in C++ but I was just wondering if it can be done with

Any suggestions? Thanks!

FluidSynth configuration

2010-12-09 Thread Jonathan Gardner
I installed FluidSynth and qsynth on my F13 / KDE install. When qsynth
comes up, it asked me to do some additional configuration by modifying
/etc/security/limits.conf to add:

  @audio  -   rtprio  100
  @audio  -   nice-10

After I made the changes and restarted it, it then asked me to add
myself to the audio group.

I'm not sure what I did or why this needs to be done. I'd appreciate a
pointer or some better advice.

Logging in with my new group showed that qsynth was working, although
I have yet to hear any sound from it. I tested with pianobooster,
musescore, firefox on a site with MIDI, and a few other MIDI apps I
thought would make MIDI sound.

(I haven't logged out and back in through X yet. I'd prefer not to
have to do so.)

Am I doing something wrong? Should I go talk with the FluidSynth guys
about my particular situation? Do we need to tweak the fluidsynth RPM?
(I'm volunteering to help.)

I've the desktop effects enabled but not the blur one. BTW everything

If you have desktop effects enabled, try disabling them or try to login

kde slow to start after a crash

2010-12-09 Thread Walter Cazzola

Dear Linuxers,
I've a quite frustrating problem, it is the second time that my PC
freezes and after resetting the PC KDE starts very slowly (it is taking
more or less 20 minutes to be fully loaded and responsive) and reboot
doesn't help.

The first time I have solved by canceling all the configuration files of
KDE (both .kde and .kderc) and reconfiguring the whole thing. This is an
experience that I'd prefer to avoid.

Any idea about how to solve the issue?

My system is FC13 up to date with KDE 4.5.3, nvidia card and kernel
2.6.34.7-63. I can provide any piece of log if you address me to what to
look for.

Thanks for the help

OfflineIMAP not working

Hi everyone,

I was trying out OfflineIMAP as I wanted to try the notmuch email
client. But I keep getting this error,

WARNING: Error occured attempting to sync account Test: 'NoneType'
object has no attribute 'replace'

I searched around a bit, it seems to be a Fedora specific problem.
Does anyone use this on Fedora? How do you make it work if the default
Fedora package is not working? I would be grateful if anyone could
shed some light on this.

Thanks a lot.

I've seen a number of threads on this on fedoraforum.org.  No Windows 
installer acknowledges the existence of a non-Microsoft OS and always 
overwrites your boot sector with its own code.  You need to use a 
LiveCD, or an installation disc in rescue mode to re-install Grub, then 
edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (or, use one of the various links to it if you 
prefer, but it's all the same file) to add an option for Windows. 
Windows first, Linux second is by far the easiest way to go.

Which is why, if you value the data on your computer at all, when making 
a major change like installing a new OS, you should  *always*   have a 
complete backup of your system.  No pushback, just fact.  With today's 
sub-$100 terabyte plug-in drives and tons of cheap or free backup 
software it just makes sense.

I have never, ever, had that happen. I've never tried booting Linux from 
the Windows bootloader, but Grub is probably more reliable. If you do 
use the NT Loader you would need to have Grub installed on the first 
sector of the Linux boot partition, which is one of the two options 
during install, and is not the default.

One could also use a third-party (non-free) loader like Boot Magic or 
System Commander neither of which is released or supported today. The 
only commercial boot loader that is, to my knowledge, is Acronis Disk 
Director, which I tried once and didn't like.

Stick with the open-source solution (Grub) and not only will you be 
supporting the OSS cause (some people claim the boot loader is the 
central piece of the Linux system) but you'll have a better product.

I find the documentation for installing Grub from scratch long and 
confusing. It's probably simpler just to reinstall Fedora. Go ahead and 
put it on the second HD but make sure the boot loader is selected to 
install on the MBR of the first disk, which is always the default.

This all assumes you install Windows first, Fedora second. I've never 
tried the other way around but expect it would be difficult.

Using system-config-display, it properly recognizes the card, but
won't let me configure the dual-head part. I've tried to have it build
the xorg.conf on its own, and that didn't help. What is the proper way
to configure this card? How well supported is this card?

Thanks,

Many years ago now, I either misunderstood and/or didn't follow
correctly the boot loader instructions given by the installer (RedHat
or Fedora, can't remember now).

Result: two unbootable disks, just like the OP here.

I'm going to get a lot of pushback/criticism/bs, but here's my position:

Boot sectors and boot loaders are for writers of OS installation disks
and viruses.  Everyone else should just leave well enough alone.

If you can try a change that can be undone, like fiddling with a chain
loader in boot.ini, you might want to consider trying that, but *most
people won't know how to recover if something goes wrong*.

My advice: Let Windows and Linux each install as if the other weren't
there and find some other way to choose which disk boots.  There are a
number of advantages to doing business this way, but the biggest are:

1. You can't screw it up.

2. You don't have two drives/OS's tied together by some boot mechanism
that you might want to change at some later time.  If the primary disk
fails, for example, the other disk will still boot just fine.  If you
want to move one of the disks to a different machine, you don't have
to do anything.

How, without fussing with boot sectors and loaders do you choose which
disc a machine boots from?

These days, every motherboard seems to give me the option of changing
the boot order in the setup screen at the very beginning of the boot.
It's not a one-click operation, but unlike most other options, if you
do it incorrectly, you can always do it again.

In the old days, I routinely made a boot floppy for Linux.  If I
wanted to boot linux, I put the floppy in.  If I wanted to boot
Windows, I left the floppy out.  In theory, you can still make a boot
CD, but (so far as I know) it's now a lot harder than mkbootdisk was.
There is, at least theoretically, still the possibility of doing
something like this.

If you're not going to switch back and forth often, then I recommend
using the setup screen to choose the boot disk.  If you *are* going to
switch back and forth often and you have a modern processor, I'm going
to wonder why you don't virtualize one or the other so you can use
both at the same time, rather than dual booting at all.

Robert.

RE: Fedora and window Xp dual boot

2010-12-09 Thread Shelby, James
Another option I use for total isolation is to just press F8 or F12 (which ever 
allows you to select your boot device) and choose that hard drive.  This way 
you could have a failure on either drive that would not impact or effect 
anything on the other drive.

RE: Fedora and window Xp dual boot

2010-12-09 Thread Shelby, James
You should be able to modify the boot.ini on your Windows Drive and add the 
Fedora bootloader.  This wasn't too difficult but I needed to do a dd 
if=/dev/sdb of=linux.bin bs=512 count=1

Then copy that bin file over to my windows system.

With the way Windows seems to not like Linux taking over the bootloader I still 
use grub on my windows system with the understanding that it could very well 
one day not boot windows.

network interfaces & aliases question/issue

2010-12-09 Thread Jim Cromie
using sysconfig-network, Ive added an alias to my eth0 to add a fixed IP

[j...@groucho network-scripts]$ egrep -E 'DEV|BOOT|IPADD' ifcfg-eth0*
ifcfg-eth0:DEVICE=eth0
ifcfg-eth0:BOOTPROTO=dhcp

ifcfg-eth0:1:DEVICE=eth0:1
ifcfg-eth0:1:BOOTPROTO=none
ifcfg-eth0:1:IPADDR=192.168.20.2

but it seems I can only have one of them working:
(Ive since renamed eth0:1 to eth0_static, thinking there was a problem with
':' in filename)

[j...@groucho network-scripts]$ sudo ifup eth0

I expected 2 inet lines above.

While I do not know what is causing this message. I can tell
you it is triggered by something cron.daily runs.

desktop configuration question

2010-12-09 Thread Aaron Konstam
On both my F14 machine and my F13 machine the following occurs. If I
have multiple windows open on the desktop and I put the cursor in the
upper right corner of the screen all the widows open on the desktop
appear in on non-overlapping display. This is what all Mac users are
proud happens hitting a key on their keyboards. I like that this
happens. Clicking on one of the now open windows returns too the
previous display with the "clicked on" widow on top.

This does not happen on all f13 or F14 systems  that I have looked at.
There must be some configuration option that makes this happen? How does
one enable and disable this behavior?

You cannot create a hard link between these two file systems.  Linux 'sees' 
them as two different logical drives with two different super-inodes.  It is 
possible to create a soft-link however.

I can get the vesa driver to run at 1024x768, but what I want is the
r128 driver running at 1400x1050.  Part of why I want the r128 driver is
to get the hardware acceleration.

Anytime I had the r128 driver running at a resolution above 800x600, the
display exhibited some strange folding effects.  I think that means that
some of the timing values were wrong.

Thanks for your help.

I think my next step is to try installing Fedora 13 and see if I can get
that to work.  If it works, maybe I can collect timing values from it.

Craig

That's what I was looking for. It seems rather kludgy to rely on yum
sorting the repo's and using them in a particular order even though
that's what yum-plugins-local does.

Hard links can't cross fliesystems because two hard-linked files point
to the same inode.

Other than yum's whining, I haven't noticed anything else amiss. Is
there a problem with the bigloo-libs-3.4a-1.fc14.x86_64 package, or is
this just another warning like the /etc/udev/rules scrum that takes
place every time the system boots up?

A hard link is basically a link to the i-node number of the original file.

i-node numbers are not portable across different disks.

Hard links can only be created to files on the same file system.

To create a hard link, the original file and the link file should exist in the
same partition.

LVM is a logical superstructure consisting of different physical partitions on
same or different disks.

As a general rule, I don't disagree.  I block Flash on all sites, by
default.  It's usually annoying advertising, several of them, and it
bogs my computer down.

However, there are sites which do make good use of Flash.  Sites where
animation was the reason for viewing them, etc.  And you can get stuck
by some essential site (for you, such as your bank) needing Flash before
you can do what you want to do.  So it's handy to have it around.

yep I understand... but why I have a mountpoint mounted over the same
mountpoint with only one partition mounted on / ?

HardLink ?

2010-12-09 Thread admin lewis
Hi,
I'm trying to make an hardlink between in this way:
ln /my/path/source/file.txt /blah/blah/file.txt/
but I've got the following error:
ln: creating hard link `.//' => `/../': Invalid
cross-device link
I've only one root filesystem so it's strange that error about
cross-device..
the source file is in /home/.. and the link target is in /var/ftp.
the following is my mount

You can also use wget (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm )
to download files. Use

wget ftp://
download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso

If the download fails resume with

wget -c ftp://
download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso


Remember that DVD images can exceed the 4GB limitation of FAT32 formatted
drives. Make sure you are saving to a NTFS formatted drive.

RE: can't download fedora 64bit dvd iso file

2010-12-09 Thread Robert G. (Doc) Savage
Dan,

You could try using the "meat" of that link without the prefix:

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso

which will actually initiate an FTP download from a mirror site.
Windows' FTP has been known to be problematic for very large files
because (at least in the past) an interrupted download could not be
resumed.

I would recommend using IE8 for what it's good at, then another utility
for the main haul. Fetch cwRsync from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sereds/files/cwRsync/4.0.5/cwRsync_4.0.5_Installer.zip/download

This is a Windows version of the rsync utility, a workhorse of the file
transfer variety if there ever was one. Assuming this latest cwRsync
uses the same command line options as rsync, this *LONG* command line at
an MS-DOS prompt will download the F14 DVD ISO file to the current
directory:

C:> cwRsync -tvxzP 
rsync://download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora-linux-releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso
 .

Don't forget the trailing " ." space-dot destination. If you're curious,
the options in that command line are defined as follows:

   -t  preserve modification times
   -v  increase verbosity
   -x  don’t cross filesystem boundaries
   -z  compress file data during the transfer
   -P  same as --partial --progress
   --partial   keep partially transferred files
   --progress  show progress during transfer

On a 12Mbps connection this download should take about 75 minutes. If
the download is interrupted for any reason, you can re-run the same
command line and it will pick up where it left off. rsync is VERY
tenacious and guarantees 100% error-free delivery.

Good luck.
