Whatever happened to kprint?
by Steven W. Orr 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Under kde3 I used to use kprint and now it seems to have disappeared. Is there a replacement? Basically, how do I print a doc with all of the fine controls on a per doc basis without it? Do I have to use the command line options in the lp command? -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

FC10 does not boot when HDD moved to another machine
by Frank Millman 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi all I am trying to install FC10 on a desktop machine. I can install in text mode, but I cannot get it to run X. I posted a query to this list a couple of days ago, but got no response. I found a thread in the Fedora Forum on the subject - http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=207320 I followed the advice of adding the following line to the "Device" section of xorg.conf - Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" It worked, and I thought the problem was solved. Then I found that if I switch from tty1 (graphical) to tty2 (text), then switch back again, the machine freezes and I have to press reset. I tried several times, and the same happened each time. I am guessing that the new Intel video driver is flakey, so I tried swapping hard drives with a similar machine running Windows Server 2000. Windows runs perfectly in the old machine, FC10 will not boot in the new machine. I get the following error message - Volume group "VolGroup00" not found Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: No such file or directory I swapped hard drives back again to ensure it had not got corrupted, and it boots fine in the original machine. If I boot off the dvd and select Rescue Mode, it boots and says that it has loaded the installed system under /mnt/sysimage. I can see the contents of /mnt/sysimage, but I have no idea what, if anything, to change to enable it to boot up normally. If I just exit, it shuts downs cleanly, but I get the same error if I try to reboot off the hard drive. The HDD is a standard IDE drive with a standard IDE connector on the motherboard. For the record, the drive is a Seagate ST38410A, 8.4gb. The motherboard in the machine that was used to build FC10 is a Gigabyte GA-8LD533. The motherboard in the machine that fails to boot FC10 is a Gigabyte GA-851MLH. The spec of the IDE connector on the former is UltraDMA33/ATA66/ATA100. The spec on the latter is the same except it also has ATA133. I confess this does not mean anything to me, but it might mean something to someone reading this. Here is some more info, as suggested by someone on comp.os.linux.setup - 1. #fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 8619 MB 8619752960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1047 cylinders Units = cyliinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x838ccac3 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux /dev/sda2 26 1048 8217247+ 8e Linux LVM 2. #cat /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 UUID=b6c62c5a-0afb-4258-a726-6a377a6f3b9e /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 If the worst comes to the worst I can re-install from scratch, but that does not fill me with confidence. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Many thanks Frank Millman

Re: F10 - something positive to say!
by 于根 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, I don't see it like this - on this forum I have the impression that people ask how things work and express their frustrations - if there are - in a rather clear fashion. the purpose of the list is to find answers to questions - the shoulder taps like yours and this one are expressed by detailed error descriptions with the result that the software gets better. What else does a developer want? I'm so totally new to Linux that I'm a "silent reader" on the list. If I'm stuck I go to the forum proper and get valuable answers either from other answers or from more experienced subscribers. As a total newbie to Fedora and Linux (but a com user for over 20 years) I can only say that I was amazed when I started up Fedora 10 for the first time on my brandnew laptop. A lot of things worked out of the box and so much faster than under win xp (subjective evaluation). So I will stick around and use Fedora permanently. I'm just waiting for the adaptation of some professional software to Fedora 10 (the Planet CCRMA package) and then there will be no turning back.

dbus preventing system-config-services from running
by stan 23 Dec '08

I installed all updates from updates and updates testing for Fedora 10 x86_64. When I try to start the service configuration from either the menu or the command line it fails. I remember seeing something about a dbus error but I thought that was fixed.

Fedora worked fine on them all. One desktop had a 3com adapter, the other had a Linksys NIC. One was a slower machine ( 1GHz cpu, 90KBps xfer speeds ), the other fast ( 2.8GHz cpu, 250KBps xfer speeds ) It is now just this machine with the Intel and National Semi NICs. So I powered it down and switched the cables to the 3 enet ports; so now the Nat Semi is the one going to the internet. I Booted with F10 live CD and tried my wget experiment again. Same old problems: Data error, interrupted downloads. This box with Fedora just sucks. BTW, The Intel connection which is my usual internet connection does have the "suspect byte" set in the "bad" state as per the test above. but since the same thing happens with the Nat Semi NIC, this should not be the cause. However, and I keep repeating this, OpenSUSE 11, Debian Lenny, Ubuntu 8.04, PCLinuxOS 2007. Windows XP, Windows 2000 and ArchLinux all seem to handle things just fine. Only flavors of Fedora have a problem with this PC. Is there anyone I can get in contact with to analyze this further? Run some patched kernel? module? Thanks charlie
