FC8 kde : I'm having some configuration issues...
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've got a new install of FC8 on a Gateway laptop (MT6451 Notebook PC) It's got an AMD Turion 64x2 processor. I'm not sure the KDE Control Center [kcontrol] is working properly. After I used a root session to: # yum install ksynaptics I was able to disable "tapping" via kcontrol > Peripherals > Touch Pad But when I tried to configure some keyboard shortcuts via kcontrol > regional & accessibility > keyboard shortcuts the changes didn't seam to work. Then I found the shortcut settings in: {menu} > system > personal > keyboard shortcuts And SOME of them worked. I WAS able to use Ctrl+Alt+Space to activate window menu. where I use the pull-down choices to resize, move, maximize, minimize or close a window. And I WAS able to disable the direct shortcuts {such as Alt+F4} for those functions. I WAS able to assign work space switching to Ctrl+F1,F2,F3,F4 And disable the direct shortcuts to switch to the workspace to the left etc... But setting Log out to Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn't work. I still have to use Alt+F1 > "move sideways to System" > "move vertically to log out" I wanted to disable automatic loading, playing etc of removable media. In the past all I had to do was: Alt+F2 > kcontrol > KDE components > Service Manager uncheck KDED media manager But with FC8 the KDE Control center indicates that ALL of the listed services are NOT running ???????? Even so, I tried unchecking KDED media manager but it had no effect. I did eventually find that I could: Alt-F1 > "move sideways to system" > "move vertically to hardware" > "move sideways, then vertically to removable drives and media" uncheck each undesired option (ALL OF THEM) on at least the Storage and Multimedia tabs. Though I note that when I try to play a music cd by calling kscd on the run prompt it didn't output any sound. So I did Alt+F1 > "move down to sound & video" Several players were listed, some of them worked. But what was not listed was totem, which was the default player that started before I unchecked the "play audio cd disc when inserted" box... For the heck of it I tried calling totem at the run prompt. It started but was unable to play the cd. Under Movie the play disk audio disc choice was grayed out. the play disk cd rom 1 choice wasn't gray but when I select it I get a pop-up that says totem was not able to play this disk. Please check that a disk is present in the drive. Yet if I recheck that "play when inserted" preference setting, eject and reinsert the cd, totem starts up playing the cd. Go figure... One of the players that was listed was a simple looking player identified simply as "cd player" that I'd almost like if I could call it by name at the run prompt but it's name wasn't visible. So I fired up ksysguard to look at the process table. Now considering that when I installed FC8 I unchecked Gnome and checked ONLY the KDE desktop, imagine my surprise to find that it's gnome-cd and that gnome-keyring, gnome-panel, gnome-power-man, gnome-screensav, gnome-session, gnome-settings-, gnome-vfs-daemo, gnome-volume-ma are all listed as running processes... (sorry for the truncated names but I'm not going to guess at the part I can't see...) NO freaking wonder kcontrol and kscd aren't working properly. EVEN though I selected KDE from the install dvd and expressly unchecked gnome, it seams that several key services are using gnome tools. This bothers me because I strongly dislike gnome. (I'd even prefer to run under a microshaft environment!) Can somebody please tell me how to get FC8 to stop using gnome, and let the KDE tools work properly? ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHoi4XRZ/61mwhY94RAiOJAKCa7c1Jix62DnSQ0Bir9zc6UK0TyQCdGcbl xufaXqOeF4V8ak6KxalPOSs= =GF6E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | | ^^^ ^^^ | <o> <o> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ ` J(tWdy)P | ___ <<jtwdyp(a)ttlc.net>> | ' `

New FC8 install: How to prevent auto-mounting???
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use mc from a konsole to do my file browsing. I'm quite comfortable with using mount & umount from the command line as needed. I really dislike finding filesystems already mounted when I expressly set them up with the noauto option in my /etc/fstab. How can I stop it from happening? I'd actually prefer a root command line solution that will make it impossible for kde to turn automounting back on. In case it matters, I boot to runlevel 3 and start kde via startx as needed. ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHoflMRZ/61mwhY94RApnbAJ9eSA/SCqhdP/c6exnsfjSh4OadmQCdHCJu Tj2OQxdMeZn3FSRYqY9RzA8= =Pf2h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtwdyp(a)ttlc.net>>

Re: How to fix error message (unable to Access Resume Device (Label=/dev/sdc5)
by Petrus de Calguarium 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

I am guessing that you either relabelled or reformatted your swap partition, or are using a different swap partition than the one that was in effect when you installed. In case you haven't solved the problem, here is what I did to get rid of it: /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23-currentversion.fc8.img 2.6.23-currentversion.fc8 The first argument is the name of the initrd image you want to create; the second argument is the kernel you are currently running (uname -r will tell you this). This will create a new initrd for the kernel you specified above (in the second argument) with the updated information. A work-around, in case you don't care to recreate the initrd, is to put resume=/dev/sdc5 on the boot line of grub.conf. Hope this helps.

printk kernel messages??
by Brian Millett 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hello, I have a F8 laptop with the 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 kernel. I started having strange printing problems (slow, stopping, printers going offline) and noticed MANY messages as: Jan 31 11:28:18 dufus kernel: printk: 2 messages suppressed. Jan 31 11:28:22 dufus kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed. Jan 31 11:28:28 dufus kernel: printk: 2 messages suppressed. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks. -- Brian Millett - [ Ivanova, "The Geometry of Shadows"] "If it gets too bad I'll just gnaw it off at the ankle."

Broadcom 43: FC7 vs FC8
by Michael D. Berger 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

On my Compaq dual boot laptop with FC7, I never got my Broadcom 43 wifi to work despite applying numerous suggestions received on this list. Are there relevant improvements in FC8, or is it best to wait for future developments? Thanks for your advice. Mike.

ever see an HP 1018 laser Jet? why do print job disappear?
by Paul Johnson 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hello, Fedora users! Does this problem remind you of anything? In one of the Fedora 7 systems I administer, I've seen something very strange with a new HP 1018 laser printer. We plug in the USB connector, and dmesg output indicates the system sees the device. In both system-config-printer and also in the CUPS configurator in the browser, we see 3 lines showing the same printer. One refers to an HP printer found by HAL, one refers to an HP printer on hpijs protocol, the other refers to a USB device. I don't know why 3, but that is par for the course. I see it with all CUPS HP printers, I think. There is no HP1018 laser jet device driver in the HP list, but there is 1015, which experience leads me to believe is close enough. Here's the weird part. I configure the HP printer--using any of the 3 types that show as options ,and send jobs to the printer, and as far as CUPS is concerned, they print. But there's no output from the printer. In KDE, I've started the printer monitor, and I can see the jobs pop up onto the print que, and they disappear. But they never come out of the printer. As I write this, I'm having a faint memory of something like this on another HP printer. I think it was an HP1200 on which one lighted button would flash but nothing would print until the button was pressed. But I don't think I ever got to the bottom of that problem. Do you suppose my best hope is to find the PPD file that the HP windows driver supplies, and install that instead of choosing from the list? -- Paul E.

Unless, of course, you work on the RedHat or Fedora distros. I just hope I don't come off as big of a jerk as some of the deluded 'gurus' I have seen on these lists. Including this one.

Shrug. You're still wrong. The language specification says that your function definition: def plus(a,b): requires two arguments. You supplied ONLY ONE ("plus(3,)"). Unless you fix that, the interpreter will never enter the function. If you want to think of the function like a lambda you're applying the tuple (3,) to the "plus" function. (3,) is a tuple with only one element. Python checks argument lists. Others have already suggested you pass two arguments or allow plus() to accept one argument. The thing that threw the error was your function call ("plus(3,)"), and _not_ the function internal, which were never reached. So the exception is correct. Maybe you should post your "calculator" file, since I'm sure more is going on than you've described. Using exec() is a lot like using eval() in perl - exceptions will be caught by the wrapper; that may be your trouble. In perl they land in $@, in python they're probably caught and rethrown, hence the slightly surprising error line. But without "calculator" we're all in the dark. I've returned this discussion to the list where it belongs. Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <cs(a)zip.com.au> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/

"device_rename: sysfs_create_symlink failed (-17)"
by Timothy Murphy 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

I have two access-points, on 2 home LANs. I have set up two interfaces, eth1 and eth2, on my laptop, using the same WiFi device and driver (orinoco_cs). The theory is that if eth1 does not connect to AP1 then eth2 will connect to AP2. This used to work, but as far as I can see there has been a change in recent kernels with the result that if the first connection fails, the second always fails with the above error message in /var/log/messages . I googled for the error message, and saw many postings, but none that suggested any solution. Any suggestions of a way round gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
