Anyone using it? Anyone know why attempting to install it would load the library parts of the package but fail to put the appropriate files in /usr/share?

My packages from the update are: deltarpm-3.5-0.4.20090913git.fc11.1 pam-devel-1.0.91-9.fc11 libsidplay-1.36.57-21.fc11 authconfig-gtk-6.0.0-2.fc11 vte-0.20.5-2.fc11 authconfig-6.0.0-2.fc11 pam-1.0.91-9.fc11 I looked over them, and none of them would affect graphics setup. But this morning it seems my Quake 4 is working again !!! I'm thinking it was a temporary video card issue, or other hardware Thanks for your help & I learned another Linux command. One day I'll have enough experience to actually contribute back. > >Even more reason to try out the updates-testing repository and give >feedback about bad updates at http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates I'm still deciding on how to contribute back. I'm kinda hesitant to begin any task, since starting anything seems very tough, and would require a lot of commitment. I guess they're all excuses, but hey. New Years Resolutions are just around the corner, and I'm finalizing my Bash Scripts that help with my Dungeons & Dragons game... Thanks again

gthumb problems
by Paolo Galtieri 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

I have a Nikon D70s camera. I also have an external USB smart card reader Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0b97:7762 O2 Micro, Inc. Oz776 SmartCard Reader When I plug the 4GB SanDisk from my Nikon into the card reader it mounts the disk and puts an icon on my desktop. When I double click on the icon it brings up a file browser. It identifies the contents as being digital photos and there is a button on the file browser to start the gthumb photo import tool. Clicking on this button does not bring up gthumb. When I look in my .xsession-errors file I find the following: (nautilus:2163): Nautilus-GDU-WARNING **: unable to query info: The specified location is not supported handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged') handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged') handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged') handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged') D70S"; exec gthumb --import-photos: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' D70S"; exec gthumb --import-photos: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file The same problem occurs if I attach the camera directly to the PC. The actual mount point is /media/NIKON D70S Note the space between the NIKON and the D70S. It looks like the file browser is choking on the space since it is showing D70S" rather than "NIKON D70S". This all worked fine under F11. Once the device is mounted I can run gthumb manually on the mount point to import the files. Paolo

Re: Wrong page format Avery A4 labels. [SOLVED]

On my HP LaserJet 2200 the label sheets print wrongly as mentioned above. But when I print using my colour printer HP Photosmart 8450 they print correctly. Thanks to Peter Hillier-Brook who somehow forced me into trying this other printer. -- Erik.

Need usb troubleshoting tool
by Gene Heskett 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Greetings all; Do we have a usb monitoring tool that can detect and name the processes that are apparently fighting over a device plugged into a semi remote usb hub, a 7 port Alps gizmo plugged into one of the mobo ports? Or is it possible that because it is not plugged directly into the motherboard, that some other process is claiming the attention of that hub, and making usbhid-ups _think_ another process has locked the ups for its own use? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Nut 0 vs F10 winner
by Gene Heskett 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Greetings; I am trying to make nut work, in this case with the usbhid-ups driver for a Belkin UPS. Something is interfering with the drivers access to the ups, I can often see device or resource busy messages in the drivers debugging output, which causes it to do a restart, looking for all the devices it knows about. Eventually it will find it again, but in the attempts to do so are hidden the messages about something else accessing the device & locking usbhid-ups out. From a screen scrape: Checking device (050D/0751) (001/016) - VendorID: 050d - ProductID: 0751 - Manufacturer: Belkin - Product: Belkin UPS - Serial Number: unknown - Bus: 001 Trying to match device Device matches failed to claim USB device: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy The errors of course propagate up through upsd to upsmon which in term reports no perms and stale data. Does anyone know what might be attempting to gain access to this usb connected device besides usbhid-ups? Thanks all. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
