Chromium can't override page fonts
by Patrick O'Callaghan 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

I updated Chromium from chromium-6.0.417.0-1.20100526svn48276.fc13.x86_64 to chromium-6.0.451.0-2.fc13.x86_64 and now find that certain Web pages, notable www.nytimes.com, are rendered in a Times Roman font that is hard to read. Previously the same page used a different font (I'm guessing Arial or Liberation) which was readable so I'd never tried to change it. In fact I've no idea why it decided to change now, but the font-changing dialogue (Spanner->Options->Under The Hood->Change Font and Language Settings) has no effect when the page specifies its own font. Every other browser I've used has an option to override the page font, but I can't find this in Chromium. The same appears to be true in Chrome, though I haven't looked extensively. Suggestions welcome. poc

changing default "movie player?"
by Bob Goodwin 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Where is the default movie player set? I've been messing with this problem for more than an hour and can't seem to get it done. There must be a file somewhere I can modify directly? I don't understand why it isn't left as a user choice anyway? Bob --

Battery ggauge on laptops
by René Harder Olsen 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Hi. I am running FC12 on an Asus eee pc. When I am turning on pc I get a warning that the batery capacity is only 1,9 % and the battery may be defect, but I know for sure that the battery is ok and new. I my opion it has to do with the fact that the batterry used with an eee pc only have a voltage of 7.4 volts, normally laptops batteries, a Medion has 11.1 and thinkpad has 10.8 volts. So is there somewhere I can adjust the values for the battery gauge in Fc12 / FC13? I have tried to search for a conf file where I adjust the values without luck. Hope that someone maybe can help me, because it is frustrating to see this warning everytime I turn on the pc. Sorry for my english, i am not living in a english spoken country. Regards René

RE: FC13 Virt & Win XP guest
by Yanglong ZHU 04 Jul '10

04 Jul '10

Hi people, I read at NGINX site on this subject: FC13 Virt & Win XP guest. Suvayu Ali offered a method to overcome the first boot difficulty by "Pick boot from CD and reboot, it will fix itself." Obviously this method works and confirmed by Ken Smith. However, how this method was technically executed step-by-step is not clear to me, although I am not considering my self a newbie to Linux or virtual machine. Can somebody share this technique with us with detailed instructions? Thank you.

Hi, this is the current state of the matter: [jb@localhost ~]$ clera bash: /usr/libexec/pk-command-not-found: No such file or directory [root@localhost jb]# yum install PackageKit-command-not-found ... [root@localhost jb]# clera <------------------ note the root mode bash: clera: command not found [jb@localhost ~]$ clera <------------------ note the user mode Command not found. Similar command is: 'clear' I think somebody went over the hills ... Bash is a too important application to be subjected to that kind of "experimentation" ! Jurek

Locking Network printer to 12.168.1.99
by Jim 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

FC13 How would I lock the IP address of my Network Printer, Device URI: lpd://192.168.1.99/PASSTHRU , so a Linksys WRT54GL router wouldn't change it. This Samsung CLX3170FN will not setup as a ipp:// in FC12 or FC13, IT prints very good as a lpd:// setup Everytime I turn the printer off, then on Router DHCP will reassign 1.100 or 101.

by Dave Stevens 03 Jul '10

I am trying to preupgrade F12 x86_64 to F13. My installer tries to use ftp://ftp.nrc.ca/pub/systems/linux/redhat/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/install.img but gives me an error, "unable to retrieve" Does anyone have a url for another site?

I have two boxes, both have UltraVNC and Vinagre (Remote desktop viewer), exactly the same packages both in F11 fully updated When I connect from A to B both Vinagre and UltraVNC work, but when I connect from Ato B UltraVNC works fine but in Vinagre I see the list of remote desktops, but when I try to connect I get the message Connection closed: The connection to host B has been closed. Any idea?? Tnx -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag SIP: antoniomontag(a)ekiga.net

Workspace cycle under GNOME
by Marco Guazzone 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hi all, Is there a way to tell GNOME to do workspace cycle? By "workspace cycle" I mean that the WM considers: * the Workspace 1 as the next workspace of the Last Workspace (e.g. to pass from Workspace 1 to the last Workspace by pressing Ctrl-Alt-LeftArrow), and * the Last Workspace as the previous workspace of the Workspace 1 (e.g., to pass from the Last Workspace to Workspace 1 by pressing Ctrl-Alt-RightArrow). I did a search and from what I found it seems GNOME does not allow it, but I hope this is not true :( Thank you very much, Best, -- Marco
