yum -y install sane-backends-drivers-scanners

There's something in the package dependencies that doesn't look correct.
Since the split-off of the -cameras and -scanners subpackages, nothing
depends on these separate packages anymore. They are installed only for
the default GNOME Desktop Spin via the "comps" file.

I think there needs to be a section of "if you used hp-setup", you need 
to do these other things. Yes, I know this is HP specific, but hp-setup 
is yum-able (is there a right word to describe "something that can be

Is this a conversation to take offline ... I am probably boring everyone

I *think* the OP is asking how to run Chromium from a desktop menu, but
it's hard to be sure. And he doesn't mention which desktop.

Well I wouldn't go that far as much better. There are many problems
with mplayer too. I have faced slow rendering sometimes because
mplayer failed to properly recognise the hardware. What I hate most is
the complete lack of playing multiple streams. This ruins the
experience for me when I want to play a concept album like "The Wall".
Of course the work around there is to play an audio CD and not tracks
in separate files.

The Linux based alternative to Medialon (a show control program) is neither
free nor supported anymore. (The author died.) The program is a specialized
process control program with features customized for theatrical or venue
presentations and equipment using DMX protocol. People purchase it rather
than use any alternatives out there now that Loren has retired ShowMan.

That's just one example of a small niche that may never be entirely able to
go Open Source. (There is at least one person trying to enter the field with
Open Source as of a decade ago. I've not heard anything of his program for
the last 8 years or so.)

It's must safer to say "Most people can become entirely Open Source." That
sounds better than "Microsoft free" with no mention of also being "Apple
free." Technically people who use Apples can be "Microsoft free", too. But
they are still paying through the nose for  (stuff I can't use. I seem
to be "Apple challenged". I simply can't make the famn dool things work to
do what I want to do when I want to do it.)

This appears to be a recurring bug, that's yet to be identified. This

Add any missing raid UUIDs to /etc/default/grub, there should be a

Apparently, `file` doesn't recognize GRUB2 yet, as it outputs no
information about what sort of bootloader is installed.  My system,
which I'm absolutely certain uses GRUB2 (it says so in the menu ;-),
says:

/dev/stdin: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, starthead 32,
startsector 2048, 1024000 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x7, active,
starthead 221, startsector 1026048, 8192 sectors; partition 3:
ID=0x8e, starthead 254, startsector 82946048, 1167316992 sectors, code
offset 0x63, OEM-ID "  м", Bytes/sector 190, sectors/cluster 124,
reserved sectors 191, FATs 6, root entries 185, sectors 64514 (volumes
<=32 MB) , Media descriptor 0xf3, sectors/FAT 20644, heads 6, hidden
sectors 309755, sectors 2147991229 (volumes > 32 MB) , physical drive
0x7e, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x0)

So, no info probably means GRUB2.

Yum is configured to keep 3 kernels. If you remove the middle one 3.2.5 
manually, when yum runs it shouldn't remove any kernels since you only have 2. 
Alternately, you can configure yum to keep more than 3 kernels. But that will 
take up more disk space unnecessarily.

Now I wonder. When I run : file - < /dev/sda
The output dose not have the string: GRUB version 0.94
but in /boot/grub2 there is a grub.cfg and there is no grub.conf
in /boot/grub nor is there a grub-install.

So what am I to conclude about booting?

Sound Broken By Some Update?

2012-02-23 Thread Richard Heck


For a few days now, I'm having trouble with sound on my machine. I'm 
running a fully up to date F16, with KDE. This seems to have started on 
the 20th, and I'm seeing errors like this in the logs:

Attempts to start pulseaudio manually cause the same errors, initially, 
but then it eventually works, giving me only this error:


/home/rgheck/ > pulseaudio
E: bluetooth-util.c: Error from ListAdapters reply:

Nothing's changed with the soundcard, which is fairly basic:

Ideas?

   Yes, I consulted a compatibility list and based the selection of the

   Nothing here?

   Something here:

   I guess that just shows that xsane is there?

You could make sure you are running on the kernel you want to keep as yum

That's because grub2 obsoletes grub.  You'll have to uninstall grub2
and manually install the GRUB1 RPM:
i686: 
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/i386/os/Packages/grub-0.97-84.fc16.i686.rpm

You probably want to check the Linux hardware compatibility lists at

there's probably a link to it.

If you want the system to boot from the second disk, you probably need
to change the boot device order in the BIOS.

Thanks. It's nice that my dumb wireless stick is now supported out of the
box. It would be nicer if I would go buy a less dumb wireless card, *stares
longingly at Intel page* or 802.11ac would get here with Linux drivers. Or
if I could live somewhere where I could have a wired gigabit net to all my
machines. Wishful thinking I'm sure. :)

Thanks... system responded:

boot drive 0x80, 1st sector stage2 0x3c0e298, GRUB version 0.94; partition

partition 4: ID=0x5, starthead 254, startsector 47302656, 274368512
sectors, code offset 0x48


which means it was GRUB not GRUB2, and a reinstall should simply be
"grub-install /dev/sdX"

However the binaries for grub 0.94 are not installed on the system but
rather the binaries for grub2 (1.99) and yum doesn't seem to want to let
me install the older version of grub.

Last time I tried to upgrade I ran into problems so I'm hesitant to
upgrade to grub2

I think my problem was /boot and / are on raid 1 partitions, root is on a
raid partition with a superblock of 1.1, /boot is on a superblock of 0.90

I need to get grub reinstalled on /dev/sdb

Scan does not work on either F-16 box -

2012-02-23 Thread Bob Goodwin



   this is an up to date F-16/64 bit computer. I reported last week
   that my trusty HP 5370 scanner didn't work, finally concluding
   that it must have met it's end. Today I received a new Canon
   LIDE 110 which according to a Sane list I found is supposed to
   work. It does not, lsusb shows:

   Fedora still reports "no devices available" the same as with the

   is not included in Fedora-16 but I don't know how to determine
   what is, at least I haven't yet.

   This is one of those things that usually just works and now it's

   I have two F-16/64 computers and both respond the same way.

F16 Live install to 2nd hard disk, grub failure

2012-02-23 Thread Wade Hampton
On a Dell 745 with WinXP on the first disk, we
added a second disk (SATA) and tried installing
Fedora 16 i386 from the live CD to the second disk.
During the install, the boot loader (grub) install was
automatic with no prompts.

After the install, the system still boots into Windows.
Grub was installed on the 2nd disk, but must not
have changed the MBR of the first disk.

Toggling the bootable partition on the first disk did
not fix the problem (no bootable partition was found
when booting).

Anyone have any ideas on this?

For now, I am using the full version of Fedora which
should properly install grub.

Cheers,

Get a copy of the kernel you want to to keep from

Put it some-place safe,
then when yum removes it, you just reinstall it.

"keep" is a value set in the YUM database.  "0" is what you set
installonly_limit to prevent YUM from removing installonly packages.

From the manpage, note the added emphasis:

installonly_limit
Number of packages listed in installonlypkgs to keep installed at the
same time. __Setting to 0 disables  this  feature.__  Default  is '3'.
 Note  that  this  functionality  used  to  be in the "installonlyn"

Turbo Tax is Windows and, though I only need it once a year, I need it.

Have you tried using the online version?  It works great for most use
cases (unless you happen to be in a gay marriage, or some other weird
edge cases where I wouldn't trust TurboTax in the first place) and
works with any operating system.  I haven't used the software version
in years, and don't miss it one bit.


I've got friends that use it and they say it seems to be maturing to a 
good point. I haven't looked at it since I got the sense it doesn't 
handle things like stocks and income other than "salary". Turbo Tax 
hasn't given me too much grief.


Appreciate the suggestions,

Yes I could do that, thank you.

You could change the installonly_limit in /etc/yum.conf.  If you set
it to 0, yum won't remove any kernels when a new one is installed.
You could then remove unwanted ones manually at your convenience.

There is a new kernel in -updates (3.2.7).
If I update to the new kernel, yum will want to remove 3.1.9.

To me this is a good thing - the new API's are far better designed for
things like containing garbage code that's probably full of holes.

[389-users] Announcing 389 Directory Server version 1.2.10.2 Testing

2012-02-23 Thread Rich Megginson
The 389 Project team is pleased to announce the release of 
389-ds-base-1.2.10.2.  No new features were added after alpha 8, just 
many bug fixes.  There are also 389-adminutil, 389-admin, and 389-dsgw 
packages in Testing.


NEW: EL6 support

Beginning with RHEL 6.2, the 389-ds-base package is included in the base 
OS.  Therefore, the 389-ds-base package can no longer be provided via 
EPEL, due to RHEL/EPEL packaging restrictions.


However, the 389 Project will still make the full 389-ds-base package 
available via http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/rmeggins/389-ds-base. 
 See http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Download for more information.


NEW: Issue Tracking System

We have moved our ticket tracking system from the Red Hat Bugzilla 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=389 to our Fedora 
Hosted Trac https://fedorahosted.org/389. All of the old 389 bugs have 
been copied to Trac. All new bugs, feature requests, and tasks should be 
entered in Trac


This link shows all of the issues fixed in the 1.2.10 branch - 
https://fedorahosted.org/389/report/12


NEW: Plugin Authors

WARNING: Plugins should be made transaction aware so that they can be 
called from within a backend pre/post transaction plugin. Otherwise,
attempting to perform an internal operation will cause a deadlock. See 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Plugins


Installation

 yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing 389-ds
 # or for EPEL
 yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing 
[--enablerepo=epel-testing-389-ds-base] 389-ds

If you start the guest first and then plug in the USB device it will get
connected to the guest machine.  I verified this earlier today.

As Richard said, you can't use a blank filter for this.  You need
specific filters for the device that you want to automatically connect.

I'd not used USB filters in a long time since in early implementations I
found it buggy.  So, today I verified that it works as expected if you
have those specific filters defined.

Perhaps the part that's confusing you is that a blank filter does not
automatically grab the next inserted USB device. You have to tell it
which device you want to use with the filter.

If you *ALWAYS* want that USB device connected to a particular guest
when it's running, then you should:
1. Plug it in
2. Run virtualbox and open the settings for the host
3. Add the USB device (not a blank filter, but the device itself).

I can't remember if there's any check boxes to make it connect by
default but that should do it. After that, if the device is plugged in
when you start your guest it should automatically get connected. I'm
not sure what will happen if you start the guest first and then plug
in the USB device.

DISCLAIMER: I can't verify this from work so this is from memory and I
might be completely wrong :)

I thought the same thing. As I read the documentation, that's exactly
what a filter is supposed to do. But I have a "blank" filter, which
claims it will connect any USB device, and that doesn't happen. My guest
doesn't see the device until I select it in the guest menu. It's that
problem which prompted my initial request for help.

In my case, I have only one guest. I'm only running VBox because the
application won't run on a recent Fedora release and the hardware won't
work with an old release. Solution, run the old release as a guest under
the new release. But the application needs to use the flash drive.

You would have to alter the named pipe log script to write the regular 
access log file itself - the server cannot write to two different access 
logs at the same time.

I'd like to avoid logging everything via this script (I have 1GB logs
every 20 minutes in peak hours on each slave).

The Chromium source distribution should contain a shell script to
start Chromium.  Google's official builds include this in
/opt/google/chrome and hardlink it to /usr/bin/google-chrome to start
the browser.  This is done as part of the build process even for
non-official builds, so it's very strange you don't have it.

You can find the wrapper script in the Chromium source distribution here:
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/tools/build/linux/chrome-wrapper?view=markup

Simply copy it to the main Chrome directory and then hardlink it to /usr/bin.

Have you double checked those UIDs against the arrays? My first guess would
be that there is a mismatch for the problem arrays.

I am not sure what "the only way to start the browser is to execute the
shared library file 'chrome' from shell." means exactly but it seems to
me that you could add an application to your upper panel (using ALT key)
that would execute 'chrome' from wherever it is.

OK, why not? That's "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" ("target" as

The fact that so many typos are being made shows that this is pretty

Making a shared library executable outside the shell

2012-02-23 Thread Christopher Svanefalk
I have built Chromium from source, and currently the only way to start the
browser is to execute the shared library file 'chrome' from shell.

I would like to be able to launch it from the normal menu like my other
applications, but I do not really know how to do this. Simply creating a
symlink in bin breaks dependencies (browser crashes due to inability to
load related libraries), and I am not really good enough at shell-work to
figure out what else could be done. It is further not possible to launch
the file from a normal file browser (system reports that it has no
application for handling shared libraries).

Any solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Christopher

Hopefully, the coming years will see an increasing shift to HTML5
technology over Flash and related, proprietary plugins. YouTube recently
defaulted to WebM (as someone else pointed out), and in my experience it
works just fine. The same should be possible for a majority of other
interactive web features, it is simply a question of investment from the
responsible companies, and these things of course are bound to take time.

Even so, I think progress towards a genuinely open web experience is going
alright.

Huh! No flash => quitting university? Really? I am also a university
