Re: Fedora14 is filling up my HDD without a reason
Hi;
you can also use konqueror to see your drive.
file:/home/mick
or file:/
View->View Mode->File Size View
You can click STOP to save time, or just let it go.
I use it all the time.

Firefox Gnome cannot "save as" to a new folder
Hello;
I am able to create a new folder under KDE using Firefox.
In Gnome I select "Save Page As" then "Create Folder"
I get the drop down box for 2 seconds and it closes.
KDE lets me enter a name for the folder, press the rectangle at the end, and
save.
This is F14 fully updated as of today.
Thanks

Firefox contrast
Hello;
I am using the latest version of Firefox, under F14 fully updated and KDE.
What I would like to know is how to heighten the contrast of the drop down menu.
E.g. - bookmarks, the one under the cursor is very low contrast.
Normal is black on white, under the mouse cursor changes to white on light grey
- so it becomes invisible.
I have changed themes and skins to no avail.
Thanks

xsane error in F14
Hello list;
I have an Epson Perfection 610 USb scanner.
It worked fine in earlier versions of fedora.
I just hooked in up in F14 and get the following errors in xsane:
"error during CMS conversion: could not open scanner ICM profile"
or
"Failed to start scanner: invalid argument"
I tried this as root as well as mick.
I tried the preferences/setup/color management and set all the CMS lines to:
"/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.6.4/config/sRGB.icm"
If I enable color management, exit and restart xsane, I get:
"Error during CMS conversion: could not create transform.
Any ideas?
This is a fully updated F14 x64 box.

Hitachi Tablet Digitizer
Hi;
I just got an old digitizer tablet.
Hitachi HDG-405J-SR.
It is serial DB9 and paperback book sized.
It seems to be either RF or Ultrasound, as the stylus is powered and wireless.
Is there any way to get this working under F13?
Thanks

OT: soundcard Oscilloscope.
Hi;
I am trying to get a soundcard software scope to work in F13.
So far no luck, dependency hell or missing libraries.
I found some windows based ones.
I have XP in Virtualbox, but it cannot talk to the sound card.
I will be getting a DSO Nano soon, so this is a temporary fix.
This is a FOSS device from Dangerous Prototypes and Seeed Studios.
So if you have managed to get one working - please share.

F13 x64 Dolphin Details displays double-spaced
Hi;
I just started to get some folders displaying as double-spaced in dolphin.
I always use 'details' as default mode.
I have no idea how this happened, it is only on some folders.
I can see no difference in these folders from others that display fine.
Dolphin -> help -> about dolphin = version 1.4 using KDE 4.45
The system is fully updated as of just before this post.

I had read that page, and the help screens from within VBox.
They did not help.
The problem turned out to be a mouse.
I have a Kensington trackball USB mouse.
Vbox saw it, but it was greyed-out like the memory stick.
There was no vbox filter for it, so I added one.
When I fired up vbox it stole the mouse and locked it.
I ended up using a PS/2 to USB adapter and removing the vbox mouse filter.
All is now well.

In VirtualBox -> USB All boxes are checked.
It sees "Kingston DataTraveller 2.0 (0200)", is dark text and seems normal.

Bottom line hover over USB symbol "NO USB devices attached"

Hi;
I found a couple of 16MB usb sticks in a drawer.
I have the latest systemrescuecd and want to "burn" it to the USB stick.
An install needs > 512MB, this is only 16M.
I tried using dd but it would not boot.
To be clear I want the USB stick to act like a blank cd.
Is this possible?

Hello;
I had a friend come over with a USB stick.
I had put Mint linux on his laptop, and now he could not write to the stick.
I realized it was a Sandisk with their stupid U3.exe stuff on it.
I went through this last year and used a Windows program to remove the U3 stuff
and reformat it.
Is there any way to do this in Linux?
I remember I used fdisk to make it ext2, and formatted it.
It still would not work.

Media palyers in KDE hide mouse cursor
Hi;
I have noticed that all the media players in KDE hide the mouse cursor.
Not only that they appear to disable it for a while.
If you play a video file and move the cursor over the video it vanishes.
You have to wiggle the mouse like mad to get it back.
How do I turn the is feature off?
I am using the classic KDE cursor font.
(F12z64 fully updated)

It should "just work" - it did in F10 and F11.

USB to Parallel printer cable F12 x64
Hello list;
I have an older HP laserjet IIIP printer.
It has serial and Parallel connectors only.
Of course my MB only has USB.
I have a couple of USB to Parallel smart cables.
I have been using an
"Belkin USB F5U002 "
lsusb: "Bus 006 Device 003: ID 05ab:0002 In-System Design Parallel Port"
, with success.
The other is:
"Epson USB Adapter" (model # ISD-103) smart cable
lsusb: "Bus 005 Device 004: ID 04b8:0002 Seiko Epson Corp. ISD Smart Cable for
Mac"
I just put the printer on my F12 box and cannot get it to work.
I had a USB printer working here just fine, so printing works.
lsusb:
Bus 006 Device 003: ID 05ab:0002 In-System Design Parallel Port
This worked fine under Fedora 9/10/11 but not 12.
I am running F12 x64 fully updated.
When I run system-config-printer it is not detected.
It will not let me add a printer.
I tried power-cycling the printer, reseating the USB plug etc.
It seems that the printer setup is invisible to the user now.
What happened to the pull-down list of printers?
KDE Info center -> USB Devices shows:

The printer is connected and powered up.

(yes those funny chars are on the screen)
So how do you connect a parallel printer to a USB port and make it work now?
Thanks
Mick M.
