To get my camera (JVC GR-DVL510EA) working in F7, I did the
following...
sudo modprobe fw-ohci
Connect the camera.
Change permissions on device file - see below.
Start kino - The camera should be shown and operational now.
I've also changed permission on file "/dev/fwX" (/dev/fw0 on my machine)
to allow non-root access to the firewire device.
I've edited "/etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms" and then I
ran "sudo pam_console_apply" afterwards to achieve this.

Python, RPM error
by Austin Isler
I apologize if this is in the archives, and I missed it.
I updated rpm a while back with:
# yum -y update rpm
I believe it installed a python2.4 package as well. Ever since then, I
have had problems with python and rpm. I get this error when trying to
use yum:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ?
import yum
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 21, in ?
import rpm
ImportError: No module named rpm
Appreciate the help,

Producing pdf files with copyable text
by Paul Smith
Dear All
To get a pdf file with the contents of a web-page, I produce a ps file
and then I use ps2pdf. However, no text can be copied from the
resulting pdf file. Is there other way of producing a pdf file with
copyable text?
Thanks in advance,

Youre welcome, Rogue. No doubt you can mount your USB NTFS drives
manually or using NTFS config tool with no problems?

revisor and rawhide?
by Justin Conover
Anyone have any look building a cd/dvd with rawhide? Or an updated F7 for
that matter? It bails on me all the time, I haven't ever been able to make
something or it just runs and runs for a day or longer. Currently one I
left at work is still in the process of "Creating DVD ISO images" but I
don't see the CD ISO Images that it said it made either.
The /srv/revisor directory is pretty much empty and /vart/tmp/revisor looks
to be pretty much yum cache and downloaded rpms.
I have a new laptop and F7 wont detect the dvd drive after it loads up the
install process and network wise it wont startup the tg3 interface.
Slackware 12 and Ubuntu 7.04 install, slackware is easy and ubuntu has to be
in text mode then I can install the latest nvidia drivers.
I'm more of a fedora ellitest and need my fix...
Laptop Specs
Dell Inspiron 1420,
Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, 2.0GHz, 800Mhz 4M L2 Cache
14.1 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ TL LCD (1440x900)
NVIDIA (R) GeForce TM Go 8400M GS with 128MB dedicated graphic memory
Integrated 10/100 Network Cardand Modem, for Inspiron (slackware sees it as
tg3 and works)
8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive for Inspiron
Intel 3945 WLAN (802.11a/g) Mini Card
