Konqueror 3.2 Fonts
by Paul Vandenberg 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Hi, I've downloaded a beta and the release candidate of KDE 3.2 for Fedora. In both cases, I had strange behaviour with fonts in Konqueror. First, the fonts were too big. I changed the size settings and it affected some of the web pages, others were still huge. Does KDE 3.2 have some new way of working with fonts, or is there some incompatibility between vanilla KDE and Fedora with regards to fonts? Konqueror is not useable for me with the 3.2 versions I've used so far. Thanks....Paul

Qt (>= Qt 3.0) not found
by Florian Sievert 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Hi, i noticed meanwhile several times that I am not able to compile one or another software using qt. I always getting the same error: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support! This time during the try to compile superkaramba. I searched around a while (also this list) and noticed that someone points out the file /etc/profile.d/qt.sh and that the qt dir may be set wrong. However after starting the script an "echo $QTDIR" gives back an /usr/lib/qt-3.1. For me this doesn look fine. I also noticed an tip to give the qt-dir as param for configure: ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt-3.1. With the same effect, the qt-lib isn't found again. I am currently running out of good ideas? What could went wrong? I also doesn't found any really usefull hint in the config.log, but I found it strange that there wasn't anything behind the lines with qt-libaries and qt-includes. Sorry, if i couldn't see the problem, but I don't really understand why he is not finding the qt-lib, that is physically is installed and the important sys-var $QTDIR also seems to have the right directory. Thanks :) Florian

Canon S750 Printer - draft quality only?
by Don Levey 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

I have a hybrid (win/Linux) network at home, and a Canon S750 printer attached to one of my Windows machines. I am able to connect, and print, to this printer using SMB print shares on my Linux machines. However, the print quality seems to always be draft. The blacks are grey, the colors are sparse. From Windows, I get full quality. This printer does not show in the list of printers I can set up from within FC1. I choose a Canon S800, or S600, as well as BJC 8200, with identical results. Canon of course has no Linux info or drivers; when I need another printer I'll get one which is compatible. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Has anyone gotten this to print with decent quality? I see sites using a Google search, but I only read English :-( Thanks, -Don

OT - How come the competition is getting it right
by Chris A Czerwinski 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Will Novell finally get it right this time and by listening to their users? or Will RedHat drop the ball and forget us Red Hat Linux 9 as Fedora is volatile, April is coming up very fast. Is a stable version required to keep US users happy and the product alive with eager supporters and the name Red Hat as good will or Will inaction be the answer again? Cut and paste... Mandrake modifies release system http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/02/02/1931213 jlguallar writes "(...) The new release road map:The spirit of the new development road map is to keep providing a release similar to what was released in the past, which will now be called "Mandrake Linux Community." This is the regular Mandrake Linux distribution, based on Cooker, which goes through the traditional QA process. But from now on, a second 'rock-solid' version titled "Mandrake Linux Official" will be released two or three months after Mandrake Linux Community. This new version will include all Erratas applied to the initial release, and as a result will be particularly solid and problem-free. The Community release will be ideal for those who want the 'latest and greatest' features as soon as available, while the second release will be perfect for those who prefer to wait and avoid any potential glitches. (...)" ---- Is the competition listening to their users and finally seeing that the linux desktop is finally reaching the masses and stability is now to be considered as part of the ongoing process. We are also aware that there are many transitional window users and newbie's who would like a stable product once in awhile so that they can use the system rather than tweaking it all the time. Base product is a good platform from where developers know all good processes start form. So maybe it should be that when the kernel, the new kernel comes out then 3-4 months later all processes should catch up and be released and finally with all erratas in another 3 months for the stable product to appear and now the new base / benchmark has been put in place and we can now go back to work with the business at hand. Growing is part of maturity, and maturity is realizing when to grow again on another level; as with life we find no real satisfaction or happiness without obstacles to conquer and we know where to come back when we need to restart.

Hi there, Can any of you out there help me learn how I can install new packages. I downloaded some utilities and I don't know where to put them before I run the rpm installation tool. When I did try to install various packages I got a message saying it could not find a man page. I am very new to Linux, as you can see. Thank you so much for your help.

03 Feb '04

Dear all, I've upgrated RedHat 9 up Fedora Core 1 and I've noticed that when I browse samba shares using konqueror I always need input my user name and password. There is a possibility to store samba passwords in the konqueror in RedHat 9 (just check box on password promt form). Can anybody tell me, how can I store samba passwods in the Fedore konqueror? Thanks in advanced. -- Best regards, Michael Stepanov, Perl/Linux Developer Francoudi & Stephanou Ltd.

lilo on promise's PDC20267 raid controller
by Dariusz Zmokly 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Hi! I installed Fedora and everything works fine except lilo. When I want to install new kernel and type 'lilo' I see [root@godoko bezu]# lilo Fatal: Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x7201 So I have to move one of hdd disks to another computer without the Promise's controler, install new lilo configuration on that box, then move this hdd back to the first box. I read somewhere that it may be caused by old version of lilo (mine is 21.4.4) so I downloaded latest one: lilo-22.5.8.tar.gz. It isn't documented very well so I just typed './QuickInst' and got: "QuickInst configures LILO and installs it on your hard disk. It should only be used for first-time installations, _not_ to update or modify an existing installation of LILO. It will _not_ generate a valid installation with versions of LILO below 22." Hmm, I am not sure what to do. I could try install this lilo version by hand but this could be very bad idea. Could you give me some guidance? Thank you ;) Dariusz Zmokly
