Mouse speed
by Jon Smirl 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

I'm up2date on the Rawhide chaneel. Did something just change in mouse processing? Two days ago I could move my mouse two inches and the cusor would cross the screen. Now I need to move it six inches. I tried playing with acceleration settings, etc. Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse. USB - plugged in with adapter to PS/2 port. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl(a)yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

The printer is named portia. If I choose: Networked Unix (LPD) queue type the queue name raw seems to work but nothing prints, the queue name portia prints, the queue name auto gets the following error: There was a problem sending US Letter PostScript test page to 'portia' queue: lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable If I use Networked CUPS (IPP) the queue name comes up as /printers/queue1 and I have no idea what to put there. Can you tell me? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@trinity.edu

CUPS nightmare
by Bill Johnson 27 Oct '03

27 Oct '03

I have a home network configured as follows: Server - running Fedora Core .95 beta. Laptop - running Redhat 8.0 Connected via Netgear RP114(?) web safe router Printer is HP841C connected to Server via usb Printing from laptop worked fine under previous config (Redhat 7.3 was on previously on server, and printing was via lpd), but I cannot get printing to work from laptop now. Cups is installed on server and printer works fine when printing from server. Printer has been configured on laptop every possible way, but will not print. Have read google posts, howtos, and cups docs for 2 days, but nothing works. nmap shows port 631 on server, but DOES NOT show it on laptop. Firewalls are completely off on both laptop and server. Question 1 - Are there issues with doing this in fedora? Am I hitting some known problem with the beta? Question 2 - Can I just abandon CUPS and use the old lpd? It worked perfectly for me, and was not difficult to configure. I can't seem to find it on the new distro. Is it not provided with fedora? Question 3 - Is the NETGEAR router a possible problem? Could it be blocking visibility to port 631? Any suggestions about that if so? Question 4 - Is there anybody on this list who has managed to get a similar printing scenario up and running? Thanks in advance for the help. Getting a printer to work should not be this difficult. I must be doing something terribly wrong, but can't figure it out. Obviously, if I can't print with fedora, I can't use fedora, so I must resolve this. Regards, Bill Johnson

Palm | Gnome-Pilot | Pilot-Xfer
by Met ＠ Uber 27 Oct '03

27 Oct '03

Well I've finally gotten my palm to sync, but only for backup purposes using pilot-xfer. Every time I try gnome-pilot it crashes. It just sits there and does nothing at all. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not even sure how to go about debugging this. ~ Matthew

I installed the gnome development packages. Up2date noticed some needed to be upgraded. Now up2date hangs when the "Fetching obsoletes list ..." box shows 100% complete. Philip

ACL's this time around
by David.Grudek＠anixter.com 27 Oct '03

Why are ACL's not inputted into the distro yet? It seems that they are stable by now so it would be nice if they were in.

I clicked system settings -> display. A password dialog came up. I filled in the root password and hit OK. Then nothing. How do I change dpi from 75 to 100? -- "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom...." Proverbs 9:10 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 Felix Miata *** http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/

up2date woes again!!
by Ernest L. Williams Jr. 26 Oct '03

26 Oct '03

Hi Can't we get the up2date working correctly? I am now about to install Fedora Test 3 for the third time. This time I am reluctant to try the up2date since it keeps bombing out on installing openoffice. Not only does it bomb on openoffice everything else is screwed up. Nothing works now since especially X; up2date somehow corrupted the following file --- "libSM.so.6" Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Should I only update the kernel and leave openoffice alone? PS: The up2date for my Laptop went smooth except for the it hanging on installing emacs.
