Question: LightScribe+k3b in Fedora
by Joachim Backes 02 Oct '08

02 Oct '08

Hi, I read some articles that LightScribe from LaCie is (or will be) integrated in K3B-1.0 (and following): http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2006/12/082-lightscribe/index.html But after installing the 4L and LightScribe software, there is no menu entry in K3B for lightscribing. Somebody knows more about this question? Kind regards -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de>

Followup: Reverting from KDE4 to KDE3
by Eric 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

OK... I made a copy of my VMware F9 virtual machine, so I could screw it up to my heart's content and still be able to restore what I had. Then I went in and said "yum groupremove "KDE Software Development"" and let that run to completion. It left kdebase in place and removed everything else, so I said "yum remove kdebase" and that took care of removing all of KDE (or at least I hope so...). So, if I want to install KDE3, what do I do? On http://www.kde.org/download/ under "KDE 3 Series", then under Fedora, it says "KDE 3.5.10 has been pushed as an update for Fedora 8 and 9. The Fedora 8 update includes all of KDE 3.5.10, the Fedora 9 update only the applications which were shipped as KDE 3 versions, not KDE 4 versions.". So, does that mean I download all of the files under "https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-7808" (most, perhaps all, of which appear to be RPMs), install them all with rpm, then download everything under "https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-7780" and install that over what I installed before? Or, is there hidden away somewhere a complete archive of KDE 3.5.10 specifically for F9? I know... "Just try it and see what happens"... I could do that but I'd rather see if any of you all can offer some insight first.

External eSATA drive doesn't fdisk properly ? F8 eSATA hotplug ?
by linux guy 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

I've got a new laptop with an eSATA port and a new (unformatted) eSATA external hard drive. Is eSATA hot plug compatible with a stock F8 kernel ? $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.26.3-14.fc8 #1 SMP Wed Sep 3 03:40:05 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ /sbin/lsmod | grep sat sata_sil24 16069 0 libata 131937 3 ata_piix,sata_sil24,ahci The reason I ask is because I expected to be able to plug it in and do an fdisk /dev/sdc and set up a new partition. (My laptop has 2 internal hard drives, sda and sdb, so sdc should be the external eSATA drive, right ?) When fdisk failed, I resorted to hwbrowser. It stalled/crashed. I repeated the experiment after a reboot with the drive powered up, ie not hotplugged anymore, with the same results. What am I missing ? Thanks
