Only able to print one sheet from any spreadsheet
by Steven P. Ulrick 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hello, Everyone This problem is so odd that it is almost embarrassing to mention. It will almost make me sound like I must be totally clueless and incapable of running a Linux system. But, since that is not the case, here goes. This morning before work, I was attempting to print five sheets of a spreadsheet that I use every Monday (on Thursday's I print out three sheets from the exact same spreadsheet.) Up until this morning, this has always "Just Worked." This morning, I was only able to print the first sheet (of the five that I needed.) Whatever I tried, I could only print the first sheet. It isn't that I can only print one sheet, it's that I can only print the first sheet. I tried to print other sheets with no success. Also, I tried creating other multi sheet spreadsheets in OpenOffice.org and KSpread. We're talking just putting one character on each of three sheets. Same results as described above. I recreated the spreadsheet that I attempted to print this morning by copying and pasting all six sheets to a completely fresh spreadsheet. You can download it here: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/Projects/fedora/20070730a-VendingMachines.ods Here is the exact spreadsheet that I had issues with this morning: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/Projects/fedora/20070702-VendingMachines.ods Here are links to all of my Cups logs: http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/Projects/fedora/access_log-Debug http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/Projects/fedora/error_log-Debug http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/Projects/fedora/page_log-Debug I had no luck finding anything out of order in any of them. That doesn't mean that it isn't there, it just means I can't find it... Now I am off to creating a completely new, never used user account just for the purpose of seeing what happens when I try to print my desired (or any, for that matter) multi sheet spreadsheet... My version of OpenOffice.org is as follows: OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 (SRC680_m222 Build-1) Also, I am running KSpread compiled from KDE Branch 3.5 source. My version of Fedora Core is FC6, fully updated and booted into the most recent kernel update. If you need any more information, I will be glad to oblige. All printing has always "Just Worked" for me on Fedora Core 6. So I am no expert when it comes to this subject :) Steven P. Ulrick

SMB Permissions
by David Frascone 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I have been running samba for some time, but I can't seem to get permissions right for the following: My file server has two users, me and my wife. I'd like to make 3 shares, plus a home directory: /media (rw to me and my wife, ro for guests) /public (rw to me and my wife, ro for guests) /private (rw to me and my wife, no other access) And, normal (rw) to owners of /home/USER. However, I run into tons of permissions problems when I create a file, and she reads it, and vice versa. So, the actual questions: 1) How do I implement a "guest" account? Make a third account? 2) Is there any way to have both accounts (mine and my wife) create files with permissions 777 when we write to shared space, but normal permissions (700) when we write to our home directories? Guess that's about it. Thanks in advance, -Dave -- David Frascone Diplomacy is saying "nice doggy" until you find a rock.

Handling Updates...
by semi linux 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I'm looking at moving to F7 for our next generation HW. As an investigation into the running of F7, I installed it on our old HW to check it's functionality and prep for the changes. Right away I got "BUG: warning at kernel/softirq.c:138/local_bh_enable() (Not tainted)". This bug has been reported and fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240982) The end result is that I have to update the kernel. The question :: If I'm going to update, how can I freeze on one particular update (so I ship the same thing today as I do in 1 year)? We use kickstart already, so updates can be scripted easily enough but I would imagine that Glibc/gcc and other updates should occur at the same time as the kernel - What's the proper way to stop this from being a moving target? Do I just download everything today and hope it's a good freeze point while scripting it into our kickstart files? Anyone here solved this problem before? - G.

F7 kernel 2.6.22.1-27/33 resume issue w/ Acer TM6460
by Patrick Lists 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

*** resent with proper date/time. apologies for taking you back to '88 *** Hi all, I'm having quite a challenge getting my Acer TM6460 to resume from suspend with kernel 2.6.22.1-27 (and-33) and using the vesa driver for X. It worked fine with up-to-date FC6: - suspend works with # pm-suspend --quirk-s3-mode - resume fails. The screen remains black (no backlit) and the HD led comes on the first time but from a similar problem with an Acer Ferrari 4005 I know it must flicker afterward which it does not. So I went to the pages at: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-index.html and followed the advice. The debug info is: [root@localhost ~]# cat dmesg.txt | grep "hash matches" hash matches drivers/base/power/resume.c:28 hash matches device 0000:09:04.1 This device is the cardbus bridge: [root@localhost ~]# cat dmesg.txt | grep "0000:09:04.1" PCI: Bus 10, cardbus bridge: 0000:09:04.1 PCI: Enabling device 0000:09:04.1 (0080 -> 0083) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:09:04.1[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:09:04.1 to 64 Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:09:04.1 [1025:010d] hash matches device 0000:09:04.1 I have no idea if this indicates a problem with the cardbus or not.

Installation of VMware-server
by sizo nsibande 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I keep on failing to point the vmware-any-any-update to the kernel header files yet I am sure I have taken all the steps that should ensure that I have those headers. This is the message that vmware-any-any-update gives me and has me ultimately stuck: ############################################################### What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] ############################################################### Have any of you installed VMware-server on Fedora 7? If so please assist me in the same light! -- Who am I, what is my purpose? To love, to serve and behold the king - Jesus!

questions on how to install Fedora 7 from downloaded iso
by Darlene Wallach 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Because my BIOS will not boot from a SCSI CD-ROM, I have to jump through some minor hoops to install Fedora. Here are notes I have from when Conor Daly advised me of the hoops through which I had to jump: Here are instructions I used to install Fedora Core 3 a few years ago. Note I cannot boot from scsi cdrom. [start instructions] re: I want to install Fedora Core 3 but can't boot from scsi cdrom 1. Loopmount diskboot.img 2. Copy vmlinuz and initrd.img (with unique names) to your /boot directory 3. Configure grub (you should be on grub with RH7.3) to boot from the copied kernel 4. At boot time type 'linux askmethod' and you'll get to specify the CDROM I used this method to install FC3 online. Just downloaded the boot.iso and chose 'ftp' as the install method... or 1. Copy boot.iso to your hard disk 2. Configure grub to boot from the iso [0] 3. At boot time type 'linux askmethod' and you'll get to specify the CDROM This assumes that there is a suitable scsi driver available in the initrd.img. If not, you can go about it this way. 1. copy the contents of the CDs to the hard disk (second and subsequent CDs' rpm files go in the RPMS directory copied from the first CD 2. Use either of the above boot methods and specify 'hard disk' as the source. NB. Make sure you copy the CD contents to a filesystem that is _not_ going to be formatted at install time otherwise there'll be nothing there for the installer to use! Conor [0] Booting direct from an iso is mentioned here: http://www.linux.ie/lists/pipermail/ilug/2005-February/022062.html Basically, it's: grub> chainloader hd(0,0)/image.iso grub> boot -- Conor Daly conor[dot]daly[at]oceanfree[dot]net [end instructions] This is what I have in grub: title Fedora Core 3 install root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-fc3-install ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-fc3-install.img title Fedora Core 3 install text askmethod root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-fc3-install ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-fc3-install.img I don't remember which of the two I used to install Fedora Core 3. I downloaded the DVD iso and mounted it. $ ls /tmp/mountpoint/isolinux/ boot.cat initrd.img options.msg splash.jpg vmlinuz boot.msg isolinux.bin param.msg TRANS.TBL general.msg isolinux.cfg rescue.msg vesamenu.c32 So I plan on copying initrd.img and vmlinuz to /boot cp /tmp/mountpoint/isolinux/initrd.img /boot/initrd-f7-install.img cp /tmp/mountpoint/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-f7-install and modifying grub to: title Fedora 7 install root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-f7-install ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-f7-install.img What I'm not sure of is if the install will allow me to access the external hard drive for the installation. Have I made any mistakes in what I plan on doing? Thank you for your attention and patience, Darlene Wallach

Upgrade To FC 7: Unable to mount /tmp
by Ben Mohilef 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

We are trying to upgrade an old hunk'o'junk dual athlon box from FC5 to FC7 using a DVD. Unfortunately the installer claims that it can not mount /dev/hda15 as /tmp and aborts. /tmp mounts nomally on FC5 ( not nosuec or noexec) and I can't find any unusual attributes. It fscks cleanly as do all the other partitions. There are a spectacular dearth of diagnostics here. The FC5 works flawlessly. Has anyone else seen this problem? Am I overlooking the obvious somewhere? A clean install is just not practical on this box. Thanks.
