If you are not a super user, ask your system administrator. From the Samsung website, download the Unified Linux Driver package to your computer. Right-click the Unified Linux Driver package and extract the package. Double click cdroot autorun. Note: there is no such named package and their is neither a file named cdroot nor one named autorun. At any rate, when I attempt to print a page the printer's activity light flashes for a long time then stops. CUPS reports completed. This occurs regardless of whether there is paper loaded or not. Cups isn't being very helpful here either. Almost anything administrator related tells me Forbidden, but nowhere can I find a way to Login to it. Part of me says the driver doesn't work and part of me says the printer is DOA. Has anybody else had any success with this particular printer model? Thanks for any help or tips, Mike Wright I have an ML-1740 that works perfectly. I share it out with SAMBA to my wife's Win 7 laptop. Samsung is a bit club handed but they were among the first to support Linux long before it became fashionable. In their early driver package one of the CUP filters was installed with the wrong permissions. When I fixed that all was well.

Just recently, I went looking for a printer that could print on discs, more out of curiosity than anything else, and there's none to be found in any of the local shops. I think that, not only has the concept of printing on discs fallen out of favour, but the idea of burning things to disc, too. Blank discs, of any sort, are getting harder to buy, never mind printable ones. Fewer shops stock them, and with fewer options (less brands, less different types of discs). And thanks to changes in media distribution (rental shops dying off, viewing things on-line going up, people exchanging their recorded videos on memory devices instead of DVDs, etc.), I think the mass video piracy that pushed the high volume of blank discs sales, has diminished. I work in legitimate video production, anything from filming sporting matches to stage plays, etc. I have a good reason to buy discs in bulk. Likewise for businesses that do organised back-ups. But I can't really see much need for the average consumer to have to buy 100 blank discs regularly. It's getting to the point where I'm going to need to special order discs, because the shops don't have them, or really crap ones. I did have to go out of my way to buy boxes for the discs. That's another thing that I don't get - shops selling 100 disc tubs of blanks, but no disc boxes or sleeves to put them in. It doesn't make sense. You're right about the jewel box shortage. I've been able to find all I need at Office Depot. I expect that CDs/DVDs and cases will continue to be available at places like Tiger Direct for quite some time.

Re: Fedora vs CentOS -- php/apache and Drupal 7
On 04/16/2013 03:41 AM, Roger wrote: This is a call for understanding because of lack of knowledge. Apologies for the mix of issues in one message but they all relate to the same problem. Firstly, I've been reading the pro's and con's of RHEL and Fedora and am none the wiser. It seems to be around cost of service and lack or availability thereof. The beginning discussion was, I think on stability. It made me start thinking about Fedora vs CentOS because of the problems I'm experiencing with Drupal 7 and php/Apache in Fedora 18 so here goes. I believe that the latest Apache updates of some time ago were flawed or do not correctly interact with php or php updates were flawed and have not been corrected. I have nothing to back up this assertion other than the problems now being experienced and a recommendation to remove php 5.4 and revert to an earlier version. Please don't quote me on this, It's what I've noticed, read and considered. When I use Ruby on Rails I do not have issues because it uses WEBrick. Discussion to date says that CentOS circa 6.n has the Fedora 14 kernel, is rock solid and gets updates every 6 months approx. Fedora 18 has kernel updates every few days or weeks at most. Frankly I enjoy the update cycle. It's interesting to see what gets improved. I have always run latest Fedora versions and have not experienced the current raft of problems. Fedora 18 sudo yum update, updates everything apps, modules, etc that needs security fixes or improvements. CentOS is a server system but can be used for a stable desktop system and has been recommended as an alternative. So what does CentOS 6.n desktop, yum update actually update or does it leave all the apps like cinnamon desktop, skype, gimp, apache, php, libreoffice, python, pulseaudio, gnome, Firefox or chrome as they are first installed, circa Fedora 14ish? One would think that this would leave significant vulnerability. If it runs the latest spate of updates then is it not little different from Fedora 18 but with an old kernel? Further reading implies that the better CentOS installation should be text based as a server only and that I should run all my work on the server not Fedora 18. I am now having significant problems with an already built Drupal 7 site on Fedora 18 after the latest spate of php updates and am perplexed as to what to do to get a quality stable functioning and stay functioning. I've got ubuntu 12.10 but it is now so slow that it's not easy to use. Further, I have 2 gig memory, intel mb, fast dual cpu, 250g hard drives and my desktop fedora 18 uses 55-63 percent memory. I thought this may be affecting php and apache, hence Drupal, but The Dell 1520 laptop has the same internals and memory and uses 25percent of the 2 gig memory, same drupal, same Ruby on Rails. I'm puzzled because after checking ps aux, top, and System Monitor on both they are very similar yet memory usage is markedly different. I do not know what I should be looking at to understand the issues and/or fixes. Is there an app that I can use to track what happens in the browser, apache, php and Drupal when I start the Drupal site on my machine. Help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance Roger Off Topic...Does anyone know of a Rails dev who would be able to help and teach me building a small application? Thanks again Roger Hey Roger, Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. The two are not the same thing. Fedora is a development system with a short life cycle. It provides cutting edge applications. CentOS is an enterprise class system with a 10 year life cycle. It does not support the most recent versions of software for desktop use. Your choice should be driven by your needs. As for security updates, both Fedora and CentOS issue frequent security updates. No need to worry about vulnerability issues with either system. computer consultant Determine what functions you require. Determine what software you need to provide those functions. Determine what OS is required to support that software. Determine what hardware is required to support that OS. /computer consultant As for me, I got tired of having to keep up with the frequent version updates of Fedora. The software that I need runs just fine on CentOS which I use on my desktop.

But in addition to that I had to goto /usr/lib/cups/filter and do a chmod 755 on some of the files that did not have execute permissions before the driver would work. http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ Thanks for your help. ;-) -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Samsung laser drivers for Linux - thinking aloud
On 02/14/2013 06:28 PM, Fernando Cassia wrote: I have an old system around with F16, which I didnt bother to update to F17 or F18 because I seldom use it (old specs, ancient cpu, low ram ,120GB IDE HD, etc) but XFCE boots and can be used when everything else fails. I decided to plug a Samsung 2165W laser to it through its usb port. The 2165W like many other cheap Samsung lasers are closer to ´winprinters´ because, althought not GDI printers, those use the proprietary Samsung SPL page description language, implemented in Samsung´s windows drivers, -but also as Linux binaries, more on that later-. In other words, these printers don´t enjoy the flexibility of PCL/PCL5 or PostScript printers that are almost ´universal´ and work out of the box with little fiddling around. F16 XFCE showed a nice ´detecting new printer´ dialog on the top-right side of the screen only to conclude 30 seconds later with ´drivers not found´ or a message like that, with a ´search for drivers´ button below. 1. I pressed ´search for drivers´ and the dialog went away, networking leds flickered a bit, then nothing. (??) I decided I had to try again, unplugged and replugged the device, althought this time, after the flickering stopped, it said once again, that no drivers were found, so I choose the option to ´manually point towards driver´ or words to that effect. A file selection dialog asks you to point to a .psd file. 2. Luckily, I had downloaded the Samsung drivers and unpacked those to the hard drive by then, so I pointed it towards ./drivercd/linux/noarch/bin/(something else, I didn´t keep notes) and there was a long list of .psd files, one for each samsung printer model #. I selected 2160 because I know 2160 and 2165 are the same model# family. Cups did its magic and lo and behold I had a printer object with the right cups driver. 3. When I tried to print, obviously, it failed (you saw that coming), the problem ´rasterizer not found´ or words to that effect. It was complaining about a missing package dubbed ´raster2samsungspl´ engine. Obviously Samsung´s idea is for one to run the ´install script´ as root. Apparently it copies binary files around (and libs, like libstdc++) to fixed destination paths and hopes for the best. My idea, on the other hand, was that cups should be (by now) intelligent enought to search for some sort of ´driver description file´ and install the driver from the cups side, not from a manufacturer-provided ugly bash script. I was wrong. apparently the only way to make it work is by running Samsung´s install bash script. So the $1M question is: can´t Samsung design drivers which can be installed via a package manager (rpm), or via a cups install routine, instead of the current method?. I´m sure they can, in theory. Which is the right venue to complain about this? (other than Samsung, which I´m sure couldn´t care less about us Linux users). There was an ´openprinting´ effort... or perhaps the FSF? or the cups project?. One would think that by 2013 distros would have gotten around to design a foolproof way for hardware manufacturers to properly package drivers (even proprietary blobs) which would then be installed semi-automagically by the Linux printing subsystem, no?. Anything wrong with my analysis?. Yeah, I know just run the darn manufacturer-provided bash install script and be grateful it at least works. Yes, that´d be the easy way. I don´t think it´s the right way going forward No, I´m not asking for directions on how to get my printer working. No, please don´t tell me to update to F17 or F18. No, please don´t start a flamewar. My point is about the packaging of Samsung´s drivers and the install method they have chosen. doesn´t it suck? what -if anything- can we do to get it improved?. FC Samsung was among the first to support Linux. We all, those of us on this list, love Linux but even we would not use it if there was no hardware that supported it. It used to be that almost no hardware worked with Linux. Basic stuff like video drivers, printer drivers, even basic IO interface cards, ... If Samsung wants to build bash scripts to install their proprietary drivers I say more power to them. If you want to repackage their stuff in an RPM then I say more power to you. That's the great thing about Linux. You have the choice, unlike that other personal computer operating system we have all come to love so much.

I'm betting that the latter will involve a lot less pain than the former. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Each file link, when you cright-click it, takes you to the full link of the

If feeling brave you could script link extraction from the page and a

Thank you Mark.
After looking into the source page containing all the links, and saw how
the
URL of each file to download is constructed, I built and ran the
following script
which worked like a charm.
PS: The first URL given to wget came to me in an email message sent to
me by
yousendit.com because the uploader has me in his distribution list on
yousendit.com.
#!/bin/bash
wget -c -O ysi.txt

's/=bas.*$/=bas/' | sort | uniq urls # so that I can examine this file
in case my sed script has an error

wget -c -ndH $url

Thanx for the inspiration Mark.

That's how sessions work and that's why skype gets restarted --- because you didn't explicitly shut it down before login. To prevent it from restarting, go to systemsettings - startup and shutdown - session management, find the field called applications to be excluded from sessions, and put skype in there. Haven't tried it (I happen to want skype to start on login), but it should work. ;-) HTH, :-) Marko I don't use KDE but Gnome used to have System/Preferences/Startup Applications The Option tab on the Startup Applications Preferences dialog box had a checkbox [Automatically remember running applications when logging out]. If you put a check in that box then whatever was running at log out would automatically restart on log in. There was also a button [Remember Currently Running Application] that you would use after you got your desktop set up the way you wanted it to look at log in. It's probably not the best idea to check the [Automatically remember running applications when logging out] box. If you have an application that crashes your session it could get restarted automatically the next time you log in potentially crashing it again. Could get messy. ;-) Like I said, I don't use KDE, but I'll bet there is something similar there.

From the GUI I've checked displays under system settings but I only see my integrated video interface, and detect displays produces nothing but the existing display. You may need to install the Mach64 X driver, and/or force the kernel to load the appropriate drive before X starts. There is a two-level complication to graphics under Linux. Then you may need to generate a real xorg.conf file so that X sees both cards, It has been a while since I did two monitor setups, but I thing X -configure may do most of the work once the kernel module is loaded. HTH Many older MoBos will not support two video cards. When you plug a video card in the expansion slot it disables the integrated one. This is not an issue with Linux but with the MoBo. If you must have dual monitor support you will have to track down a video card that will support dual monitors. Most dual monitor video cards will not be supported by older MoBos either because they require high speed slots that are not available on the older MoBos. You will run into the same problem if you try to install a Gb network card.

The only reason I've stuck with Fedora this long is that I am very grateful to Red Hat for its contribution to the community. HOWEVER. As time has passed, Fedora has become increasingly demanding, idiosyncratic, and user-hostile. I can't keep up with the tick-tock any more, and I'm tired of playing where's waldo so as to figure out how to do the most obvious things, like how to bring up a terminal or how to change the power settings with the latest release of FC-infinity. The precipitating event is actually caused by Windows, which will not accommodate all 24Gb of RAM I have on one machine without my paying blackmail (which I would have to pay over and over again), and Fedora doesn't even aim at being a replacement for Windows. Perhaps I will become just as dissatisified with Ubuntu as I have been with everything else, but maybe I'll die or become senile first. My impression of system professionals has not changed since I first started using computers, which was long before anything resembling x86 was even a gleam in anyone's eye. All I can say is I hope y'all are having fun, because your endless flights of fancy are nothing but a pain for ordinary users.

For example all those wireless cards that need firmware not in RPM format are completely outside of RPM package management if the firmware is updated to fix a security hole. In the USB case its probably not a big deal but in the PCI case a card with DMA and complex firmware could provide holes. That's also going to be fun if anyone tries to lock down Fedora.

The process needs to be able to periodically run the php apps. The shell scripts are used to run the individual php apps. During testing, I wanted to be able to run the apps, in a background manner, as well as display the output for debugging. The system has ~5-10 php apps that will be running. The overall goal for all of this is part of a targeted web crawler, where the php apps perform backend processing to manage the data from the crawling process as it gets stored in the database. So the process should fire up all of the processes, and they should then run every X secs... At least thats the way I ultimately want it to work. But I'm unable to figure out how to do this, and at the same time, display the output for the debugging process... Hopefully I've done a better job of explaining some of what this is for..

On 03/27/2012 10:35 PM, bruce wrote: Hi mark. I have a series of php apps that are async, and modify different tbls within a mysql db. The php apps also perform other tasks as well. The process needs to be able to periodically run the php apps. The shell scripts are used to run the individual php apps. During testing, I wanted to be able to run the apps, in a background manner, as well as display the output for debugging. The system has ~5-10 php apps that will be running. The overall goal for all of this is part of a targeted web crawler, where the php apps perform backend processing to manage the data from the crawling process as it gets stored in the database. So the process should fire up all of the processes, and they should then run every X secs... At least thats the way I ultimately want it to work. But I'm unable to figure out how to do this, and at the same time, display the output for the debugging process... Hopefully I've done a better job of explaining some of what this is for..

Netscape is there, but when I go to watch a video from Netscape it tells me This CNN feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 10.1 or higher. I push the buttons as requested, and Flash seems to be LOADED, but not connected to Netscape. What do I do??? I remember a screen where you had to set these things 'on' in a previous Netscape, but cant find that screen in the current one. Thanks in advance. May I suggest going to Adobe's download site and installing their repo. Then it's just a matter of yum install flash. That way you will be notified of any flash security issues whenever Adobe updates their rpm packages. Hardly a month goes by without a new security issue being found in Flash. If I were you, I would consider upgrading your system. F14 reached End Of Life back about December 2011. F14 will not get any more security or bug fixes. If you are reluctant to upgrade to F15/16/17 to avoid dealing with Gnome 3 teething pains then consider a different distribution. Scientific Linux and CentOS are both based on RHEL which is itself based on Fedora. Both SL6.2 and Cos6.2 still use the Gnome 2 interface because RHEL 6.2 uses it. Another side benefit to moving to an RHEL based distribution is that they have a 10 year support window instead of the Fedora 18 month window. By the time they reach EOL Gnome 3 should have figured out all the bugs and features that are an issue at the moment. Fedora is awesome, for what it is, which is a test and development bed for RHEL. If you don't need bleeding edge software or if you require a more stable platform over time then Fedora probably isn't your best choice. I've been using Red Hat Linux since when you had to install it from a stack of floppy disks because CD drives had not been invented yet. First Red Hat up to RH9 when they stopped releasing install CDs, then Fedora up to F14, and now CentOS 6.2.

All I found is Ctrl Alt Backspace which is inconvenient. As for the original problem I now suspect hardware, perhaps the headphone jack on the front panel but that's a work in progress. Thanks, Bob Just kill the terminal that it's running in. As long as you haven't started it with it will die when the terminal dies. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Normally the following should produce sound from the loudspeaker. [root@box6 bobg]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:660: audio open error: Device or resource busy It does not, and no sound shows on the PAVC input or output bars. I'm not certain of how signal moves through the sound circuit but it looks like it doesn't get from PA to ALSA input? I can feed a signal into the sound input jack and produce normal indications on the PAVC display and sound at the loudspeaker. Apparently plugging in that USB sound adapter switched something in the logic. Rebooting has not changed things? Is there a default conig. file somewhere? I've tried everything I can think of via the alsamixer display settings. Everything did work normally before this.

Re: Virtual machine = Physical machine - fix screen resolution?
On 01/28/2012 09:01 PM, Philip Rhoades wrote: People, I sent this note to the Fedora virtual list so I thought I might try here . . I installed a Fedora 16 x86_64 virtual machine on a Fedora 14 x86_64 server but used a physical disk (/dev/sdb = /dev/vda) so I could get the new server going almost completely in virtual mode and then when it was ready to go, reboot the machine on the new drive. This process went extremely well (thanks to all the Fedora developers!) but there were a few glitches left to sort out - one of which was the screen resolution for both the console and in X. It seems the default virtual screen is 1024x768 but I need 1280x1024(or 768). I tried adding a vga parameter to the linux line in the grub.cfg file but that only temporarily changed the resolution during bootup. xorg.conf doesn't get used much anymore - do I need to create it for this case? Is there some way to tell Fedora to rediscover the maximum screen resolution somehow? Thanks, Phil. Hey Phil, I'm assuming that you are using a graphical desktop. Can you adjust the resolution with System/Preferences/Display? I know, it sounds like a dumb suggestion, but sometimes it's the simple things that bite you. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
