VLC QT4 interface?
by David Hláčik 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hello guys, I have just installed VLC 0.9.5 from rpmfusion to my Fedora 10 Rawhide. I am a gnome desktop user, but also have qt4 installed - because of Skype. What surprised me, that this version of VLC opened for me under QT4 Interface. Is there a way to have it under GTK as previous versions? Thanks! David

Compiling libical
by Armin 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi everyone, I'm updating my KDE svn build, and kdepimlibs doesn't build because it needs libical 0.33. It's not available in repos so I can't just install the -devel package. How can I compile it? It doesn't respond to cmake nor make. All I get, is a build.sh which just makes two useless archives (.tar.gz & .zip) which don't have anything except a few .php files and a README which doesn't have any useful information regarding compiling it. Does anyone here know how to compile libical? (I got the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libical ) any help is greatly appreciated, -- Armin Past is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, But today is a gift.

Trying to Rescue My Thinkpad T60
by potat0 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi all. Of my three machines running F 10 beta, my T60 was the best behaving so far, until last week's updates. Now, the latest kernel does not boot, but I can manage by simply using the previous one. My main concern is with X, which stopped working at the same time. As you may know, this T60 has an ati-radeon card, with which I was able to use Compiz since my first try of F10 beta. I just found out that rawhide reported today a new kernel that apparently addressed some ati problems, as well as a new ati xorg driver. I would like to know if any body else has seen this problems and if the incoming updates might address them. Otherwise the T60 is perfectly functional so I would gladly wait for an update instead of a full installation. Thanks in advance for any advice. -- This is an email sent via The Fedora Community Portal https://fcp.surfsite.org https://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=300837&topic_i… If you think, this is spam, please report this to webmaster(a)fcp.surfsite.org and/or blame ortizsantini(a)gmail.com.

F10Beta : how to shut off plymouth
by Beartooth 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

I'm running F10Beta on an EeePC 701 (a small slow very early one, compared to later). Every kernel entry in grub.conf ends with "rhgb quiet" -- but I still get that tiresome display instead of proper boot-up messages. Wherein have I goofed?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

What is filesystem panic?
by Per Anton Rønning 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

I guess I should rephrase my question about my 4GB memory stick/pen, where the filesystem now is set to readonly when I enter it into one of the slots. Could anyone tell me what might have happened by taking a look at the snip of the logfile? I am not allowed to do anyting but reading files. I am not allowed to delete files ,remove directires or write to files, even if I change to root privileges. I cannot say when this started - it just happened one time when I tried to backup some files to the Jet Flash. Then I got the message (one example): cp: cannot create regular file `/media/disk/trade/statQ': Read-only file system Does anyone have a clue? I'd be grateful for pointers in the right direction. *** snip *** Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: Product: Mass Storage Device Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: Manufacturer: JetFlash Oct 27 11:36:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: SerialNumber: TCC95547 Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access JetFlash TS4GJF185 8.07 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 : : Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sdb: sdb1 Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Oct 27 11:36:18 localhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Oct 27 11:36:19 localhost hald: mounted /dev/sdb1 on behalf of uid 500 Oct 27 11:36:19 localhost gnome-keyring-daemon[2713]: adding removable location: volume_uuid_7A22_FF86 at /media/disk Oct 27 11:36:30 localhost kernel: FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sdb1) [!!!!!!!! - my remark] Oct 27 11:36:30 localhost kernel: fat_free_clusters: deleting FAT entry beyond EOF [My remark: What does this mean?

CUPS: Problem sharing USB-Printer (ADDENDUM)
by Roger Grosswiler 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

I have a PSC750, which is installed locally on a server - ready to share. I can print locally on the server, but i cannot connet from a client to this printer. Cups replies, that i am not authorized. But i checked, everybody should be authorized. Is there a bug in Cups using USB-Printers? Perhaps a Problem with the device-URI?
