I am having a problem so bizarre that in my mind that I don't where to search for the answer. Maybe someone has an idea. As of last night I had a cups print server that could print to all of our printers and also support printing to the printers from a print client. All of the printers were configured through the web interface. Late this morning I looked at the list of printers using the cups web interface and found the following: 1. All the printer displays said configuration of the printer should be done with system-config-printer. 2. The configuration had been changed on the server so that all of the drivers to these HP printers had been changed to Raw Driver. For the Postscript printers postscript files could be printed but text not. Yesterday text, postscript and pdf files could be printed. 3. For each printer displayed on the server the description field had been erased and replaced with the statement that that the entry was configured by redhat-config-printer. 4. No browsing is occurring nor can the client print. If you try you get an error : lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable Which makes sense since there are no printers appearing in the CUPS web interface for the client. The server is FC3 and the client is FC4. I am beginning to believe in computer ghosts. I have working with computers for nearly 50 years and have never been more frustrated. Ideas anyone? -- ======================================================================= I do not seek the ignorant; the ignorant seek me -- I will instruct them. I ask nothing but sincerity.

FC4 and hostname

by Truls Gulbrandsen

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have FC4 installed incl. the most resent updates on an IBM TP30. I am trying to give the PC a new name using 'hostname'. It works in a way but after having entered the command I am unable to load 'terminal' and 'network'. I go alt-crtl-f1 and log in and find that the new name is the, when exiting I find the 'terminal'window open. I have done the same operation on this machine running FC3 with the most resent updates (an IBM TP23) and works fine. Anyone with a solution to this problem?

FC4 Apache problem.

by Robert Cahn

I'm trying to start up a web site. Following the docs i put the following little file in /var/www/cgi-bin #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Hello, World."; I made it executable and Apache (running as localhost) won't run it. If I cd into /var/www/cgi-bin and execute ./first.pl it fails. If I execute perl ./first.pl it works. What do I need to do to enable this file in cgi-bin? /Bob Cahn Gipsy Trail Club Carmel, NY

As Mr Normolle points out 2.09 is ancient and RedHat 9 uses the same LaTex. \documentstyle[option,...]{type} has been replaced by: \documentclass{type} \usepackage{option} ... Is that what you're doing? I also note that my MikTeX (Windows atm) doesn't have psfig installed by default, nor is it in the LaTeX users guide. Is there any reason you can't use the graphicx package instead? (This appears to have superseeded the graphics package mentioned in the LaTeX user's guide 2nd edition, psfig is nowhere mentioned in that book) Am I misunderstanding the use of psfig? I would do: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \include{somepicture} % where somepicture.eps (for latex) or % somepicture.pdf (for pdflatex) exists \include{somepicture.eps} % although pdflatex will choke \include{somepicture.png} % etc, different formats are available % depending whether you're doing latex % or pdflatex \end{document} I'd guess from your use of it that psfig is an old package for backwards compatibility. Try and get hold of a copy of the 2nd edition users guide (specifically section 7.2) and where it says `graphics' read `graphicx'. Otherwise I would suggest searching on google for `latex graphicx'. -- imalone

cpu frequency scaling

by Josh Coffman

Hi all, Can anyone post some info or link on configuring the cpuspeed daemon that comes with FC4. It's working, but only with two steps: 50% and 100%. .. My cpu says 8 steps are available, but I don't know what frequencies I can configure. Also, when I try to edit available_scaling_frequencies, I get an error that the file is READONLY. (I tried echo -n, vi, and gedit all as root.) I'd also like to know more about the governor modes. I was getting help setting up powernowd, but I could quite get it to work. (Mostly because I'm a noob, I'm sure.) TIA, -j __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail for Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

Rhythmbox Segfault Importing music

by Robert Bell

I have same problem listed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126175 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126175> This bug has been open for a year but I haven't found any resolution. I have seen posts that say make sure there are no non-mp3 files, but there aren't any. If I open an MP3 with Rhythmbox it will play, I just cant import anything to the library. My debug log is attached to the bug above, if anyone knows how to fix this I'd appreciate it.
