Web page problem
by Gene Heskett 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Greetings; I have setup a softlink from /var/www/html/gene/linkname That points to another directory here, owned by a different user. All that has been chown'ed to apache:apache as I just noted some of it was owned by root. I can goto that page with FF3 and display the contents as a file listing just fine. I cannot actually view, from a web browser, any of the text files there displayed, or start a download of any of the compressed files that may be there. Just for grins I fired up FF-2.0.0.14, and it works fine. Is there some option I need to enable in FF3? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Session Setup Changes Windows at Login
by Tom Browder 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

I just did a clean install of Fedora 9, and established a new account. I'm using the gnome desktop and running bash as my login shell. I set up two terminals just as I want them, save my session, and logout. When I login, the terminals appear, then, after a second or two, the terminals jump to a new position. I get the same behavior if I check the save session changes on logout option. I'm also having a problem with crashes with the workspace switcher--that makes it essentially unusable. All of this may be related to an error message I get when executing df. df: `/usr/local/people/sam/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected See my bug entry https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452304 Help! Thanks. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA

Canon LBP 2900 drives me crazy
by Bassel Safadi 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Hello every body, just installed a fresh copy of fedora 8 to use as a file and print server, I have a canon LBP2900 printer that used to print perfectly on windows two days ago on the same machine before converting it to Linux, cups see the printer with the latest driver installed from canon website which is ( LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5 ) now every time I send a print job to the printer I got a massage ( Not connected? ) and it says that the printer isn't connected I'm sure 100% that the printer is connected but I think it's something related to usb detection in linux, I tried and tried, but the print status keep saying that it's processing the job but nothing actually printed and I keep getting those not connected massages.. Thanks in advance for your help Bassel Safadi

openoffice + postgresql-jdbc
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Hi all, What magic is needed to make the openoffice-base program recognize the postgresql-jdbc driver? I want to use oo-base to access a pgsql database. The pgsql sdbc driver for oo-base has some bugs, so I'd like to use the jdbc driver. Does oo only work with Sun java? Or is OpenJDK OK? Or what? Help most appreciated... - Mike

OT: need javascript/DOM help
by Mike Wright 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Hi Listizens, I'm working on a project but am absolutely stymied and need outside help. Both konqueror and firefox exhibit the same behavior so I don't think this is a browser bug. I've checked the xhtml1-strict.dtd and it says that anchor tags support the core attributes which include "id"; however, the following html doesn't produce the expected results. Are there any javascript/DOM gurus out there who can tell me why the html page below finds the <p> tag and the <div> tag but ignores the <a> tag. Sorry for the OT/wrong forum post, but I find the collective knowledge of the fedora users to be one of the best out there... and the most helpful. TIA, Mike Wright :m) Below is the html being tested. ===================== <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head><title>Javascript DOM Experiments</title></head> <body> <p id='m'></p> <a id='a'></a> <p id='p'></p> <div id='v'></div> <script type='text/javascript'></script> </body> </html>

Desktop effects, workspaces, and the workspace switcher
by Colin Paul Adams 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

I have a 7x3 arrangement of workspaces. I just tried turning on desktop effects. Immediately I notice that the switcher no longer displays an iconic representation of windows in other workspaces. Is there a way to restore this behaviour? I'm also a little confused about worksapces on a cube - it seems to be that each individual workspace has a total of 7 desktop panes. This seems rather peculiar to me, as a cube has 6 faces (or it did last time I looked). So I now seems to have about 147 desktop panes, which is rather more than I need - I think i should cut down on my workspace count :-). Anyway, I thought I'd ask here for help. I did try System->Help first, but a help window opens, and then immediately fades, which isn't exacttly helpful! Is there a configuration for desktop effects? (apart from the turn-on, workspace-on-a-cube, wobbly windows bit). Where is the documentation on all these phenomenona? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire

Sound doesn't work after suspend/hibernate Fedora 9
by Matt Morgan 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

When I boot my computer all the way up, sound works fine. When I return from suspend or hibernate, sound is gone. I don't get any obvious error messages, I just don't hear anything. It's Fedora 9, i386, on an intel board with integrated Intel sound. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks, Matt

Using FIND to globally rename files...
by Dan Thurman 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

How do you use FIND to globally rename files? I find that some music files that have '!' embedded in them to cause conflicts especially when attempting to use Nautilus to move them from one location into another, so I wish to rename files that have offending characters in them. I tried: 1) find . -type f -name \*.mp3 -exec mv "{}" `echo \"{}\" | sed -e 's/[!]//`" \; Nope. Does not work. 2) find . -type f -name \*.mp3 | xargs "echo "mv \"{}\" `echo \"{}\" | sed -e 's/\!//`"" Ah, this is really convoluted, of course it does not work. It is rife with errors indeed! :) Um, help!?!? Kind regards, Dan
