how to force my laptop external video refresh rate to 50 Hz?
by Robert P. J. Day 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

for the sake of testing an external video device, i'd like to force the video refresh rate on my aging WUXGA dell inspiron 9200 to 50 Hz. i can see from the xorg.conf man page that the Monitor section has a VertRefresh option, but my current xorg.conf has no Monitor section whatever -- i'm assuming X is then just faking up a default one. is there a quick way to force a lower refresh rate? specifically, on the DVI port. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Striata Reader & FC 10
by Leon Vergottini 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi I am trying to install Striata reader in order to open some documents. If I try to install with KPackageKit it tells me that it requires a GPG key. So I tried yum and disabled the GPG check in the yum.conf file. Striata then installs fine, but as soon as you run the program it just hangs. I am trying to install striata-reader-1.0-27-linux-2.4-intel.rpm package which I have downloaded from the Striata site itself. I also downloaded the Windows version and install it with Wine, but no luck there either. Can anyone help, please? Regards Leon

Customised F10 iso with updated packages - how?
by mike cloaked 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

I decided naively that it would be nice to make a new version of the f10 DVD iso that included the packages that were updated since F10 release - a personal re-spin if you like. However despite trying to google for jigdo options, as well as revisor and pungi I am now rather confused as to whether it is a job that can be done without too much effort. What I naively thought was that I could loop mount the original F10 DVD iso and then run jigdo-file to create a modified iso using the rpm files in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/ to generate new .jigdo and .template files that could then be used by jigdo-lite to generate a respin iso - but it seems that it is not as simple as that! Perhaps I just did not understand the documentation I read! Can anyone point me to a howto that will allow me to create this kind of "more-current" f10 iso so that further installs on other machines might a) avoid having to run yum update to pull in lots of files, and only a small number in updates repors since I create the new iso after the install and b) avoid some of the known serious bugs such as the scsi disk non-bootable machine bug with updated nash/mkinitrd It would be nice if this were possible for a relatively experienced linux user but who does not have the detailed knowledge about this specific task.

Brother color laser printer issues
by Kevin Kempter 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi all; I have a network based Brother HL 4040-CN printer. I tried to set it up with cups via ipp://address/ipp/ but could never communicate with the printer this way - I keep getting this error: "Destination printer does not exist!" I can setup an lpd printer but the colors are all muddy and dark. Thoughts ?

Miro on F10
by Claude Jones 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

I've just installed Miro and I can't get video to playback. Originally, nothing would play. I went into options and switched to gstreamer and that got the audio going. I've tried all the settings for xine and have installed xine and all the windows codecs from the mplayer site and I've tried all the combinations in options. Been googling this for awhile, and keep finding suggestions to switch to gstreamer, but I've already done that. Anyone have a suggestion? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD

Installing Fedora on a Strato root server
by Axel Thimm 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hi, there is no Fedora image yet at Strato for having a Fedora server. What do you do in order to install Fedora on a Strato server? I thought of copying over the pxe images and booting into a kickstart controlled install from my personal servers, or maybe even using koan/cobbler? What's the most elegant/efficient way? Thanks! -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
