Can I double-replace a user??
by Beartooth 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

My Number One PC, currently running F14, has a weird trouble, which I haven't yet managed to describe very well. It boots, showing what my workspace switcher calls #1, with my gnome terminal and its usual tabs (which work). But the switcher fails to change to any other workspace, and if you click the window selector, it seems to think no windows are open. (The window list remains all but invisible, also as if there were none.) None of the methods listed in the Workspace Switcher help gets me to any other workspace. (I have 18 of them, btw; I know that may be marginal -- but the preferences dialog no longer lets me change the number. No way to do so even appears.) I can add more windows on top of the terminal, but if I minimize one, it disappears; and I have found no way to get back to it. (All I've tried do work when open.) I had supposed this to be a trouble of the machine, which normally only I ever use. The other day, I added my wife to the Users list, just in case, and yesterday I logged her in for the first time. Beginning, in a very sleepy condition, to configure her desktop, I discovered the Workspace Switcher worked fine there. So I added a third userid, btth2 (my normal being btth -- who want to keep typing out "Beartooth"?). The switcher works there, too. This would appear to tell me the trouble is in how btth is configured, somehow -- I can't imagine how. I'd like to add all my data, and all I can of my tweaks and configurations (*except*, I hope, the source of the trouble!), to btth2; delete btth; and rename btth2 -- in effect, moving btth to the new name and back. That might save me finding the weirdness, reporting it, and getting my swiftly senescing skull around the directions for coping with it. Can I do all that? How? Or is there something better to do instead? (The trouble is on my main PC, which is of course the newest, biggest, fastest I have; and I miss it. <snimper, whiff>) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

F13 & my printer does not work....
by DB 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi All, Yet again I'll be very grateful for any help you can give me..... I just upgraded to F13 on my 2 systems & on both of them, I seem to be unable to print. The 2 machines are a) my desktop uname -ar Linux Fedora-Blue 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Oct 19 04:24:06 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux which was fresh-installed because preupgrade wouldn't reboot(Grrrr) and b) my laptop which was preupgraded. The printer is an Epson Stylus DX6050 which "always" worked before.... Strange thing is that under previous Fedoras, I had to fight to get the scanner recognised, this time, the scanner is recognised & working, but I can't get any of the print commands to offer me anything but a "write .pdf to file". Can anyone suggest what I've forgotten to check????????? As ever, great thanks for any suggestions! Dave

memmove() with 5 arguments? (was F14 X server problem)
by Dick St. Peters 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

On Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:33:54 -0500 I started this topic by saying: > I need to run X with the fvwm window manager, but the F14 X server > doesn't play nice with fvwm - or with twm. When fvwm or twm calls > XCreateFontSet(), the X server dies with a SIGSEGV. > To get around this, I have copied the F13 /usr/bin/Xorg server binary > and /usr/lib/xorg/modules directory contents to my F14 system, and > they work just fine with the F14 fvwm, F14 X libraries, and F14 fonts. > While this workaround works, it's not exactly a good long term fix. > Note that this workaround means the problem is with the F14 X server > or its loadable modules, not the F14 fvwm. > When twm is used, it calls XCreateFontSet() with a base_font_name_list > argument different from that in the fvwm XCreateFontSet() call, and > the F14 server dies, so the problem is not the font asked for by fvwm. This gets stranger and stranger ... Before trying to dig into the X server code, I wanted some clues about where to look, so I put this into root's .xserverrc: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/ltrace /usr/bin/Xorg :0 I deleted root's .xinitrc, .fvwmrc, and .fvwm directory and, as root (only root can ltrace /usr/bin/Xorg) I ran: xinit fvwm 2>/tmp/Xorg.out The ltrace output in /tmp/Xorg.out has 176 calls to memmove(), all with five arguments, like this example: memmove(0xa352c50, 0xa3535e0, 1648, 0x806892f, 0x40001c) Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here? The first three arguments appear to be the usual three memmove() arguments: dest, src, and count. The extra two aren't documented anywhere I can find, and memmove() has always been a three-argument function. To further confuse things, memmove() isn't the only call with too many arguments. clock_gettime() is supposed to have two arguments, but it's called 694 times with five arguments. There may well be other calls with strange argument counts, but the output has 371800 lines, and I'm not up to examining all of them. -- Dick St. Peters, stpeters(a)NetHeaven.com Gatekeeper, NetHeaven, Saratoga Springs, NY

avahi-daemon stops advertising printers
by SternData 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

I have two printers advertised via avahi-daemon as AirPrint printers. When avahi-daemon starts up, they're seen via the bonjour devices on the network. (See log, below.) After some time, usually within the hour, the bonjour devices can no longer see the printers, but the local avahi-browser application thinks they're still there, and there are no errors in any of the logs. Restarting the daemon immediately makes the printers visible again. Any ideas? $ avahi-daemon --debug Found user 'avahi' (UID 495) and group 'avahi' (GID 488). Successfully dropped root privileges. avahi-daemon 0.6.27 starting up. Successfully called chroot(). Successfully dropped remaining capabilities.

More F14 sound problems
by Aaron Konstam 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Not since Fedora have I had such sound problems What worked like a charm in recent Fedoras does not work now. I can get sound from YouTube, NPR, CNN,etc but no sound from my CD-DVD drive When I put in an Audio CD Rhythmbox opens and I can see that it is playing but no sound comes out of the speaker. DVDs just lock up the machine using VLC. All this worked up through F13 on the same machine. Any suggestions? -- ======================================================================= "Indecision is the basis of flexibility" -- button at a Science Fiction convention. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

output to console from init script
by msacks 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello, I am trying to figure out a way to output some information to the console (system boots to runlevel 3) from an init script. Here is what I've tried: add echo "$SOMEINFO" into the init script and pipe it to wall, and put that in the init script. This doesn't seem to work, I was thinking of outputting to motd to achieve this, but wondered if anyone knows a better way. Perhaps using the at command?
