stardict problem
by François Patte 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I recently installed stardict. Fedora repo does not provide bilingual dictionaries (French-English etc.), so I found this site: http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries_dictd-www.freedict.de.php With a lot of tarball English - Latin tarball GPL, 65K and so on. The problem is: every link download the same tarball: the full Stardict source to compile startdict.... What is this mess?

how not to initialize HD
by Paul Cartwright 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

I don't know why, but I keep trying to install Fedora on my laptop. The last time I did it , it told me it had to initialize my HD, and I stupidly said YES. And it did. Wiped out my XP/Ubuntu setup. I reinstalled XP , and I tried AGAIN, and it still wants to initialize my HD. This is a Dell 100Gb HD laptop that has always been dual-boot, with lots of Linux distros EXCEPT Fedora.. If I say ignore, it tells me there are no partitions to install onto. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

sun jdk vs java-1.6.0-openjdk
by Bob Hartung 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, I have loaded Fedora13 without a hitch and am impressed by the improvements! However, I am just now beginning Java programming and I am wondering if there is any substantial difference between java-1.6.0-openjdk and the sun jdk. If I decide to remove the openjava and work only with the Sun JDK at this time, how do i make sure that all of the many openjava related files are removed? Thanks, Bob

Blue screen of death
by Alex 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hi, As if to say, "F"-you, the screen changed from my normal desktop, with Firefox, Azureus, a few terminals, and a few VMs running, to a solid blue screen with just the Fedora squiggly 'F' in the middle of the screen, and the whole computer locked up. Completely dead. Catatonic. Unresponsive. Nothing in the logs. What the hell happened? This is really aggravating, because it has been one problem after another, and I'm beginning to rethink my decision on this desktop. Ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Sun Java double-click interval
by Pasan 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

I use Fedora 13 64bit with latest updates. Applications using sun jre (for an example matlab) has a very fast double-click interval. This makes double-clicks get interpreted as two single clicks. When I add the line '*multiClickTime: 400' to $HOME/.Xdefaults and invoke xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults double-click interval in matlab (and all other sun java applications) works fine. But every time I login I have to invoke the command 'xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults' I have a feeling $HOME/.Xdefaults' is not checked by the X session. What's the correct filename in Fedora where I have to put double-click interval? Thanks Pasan --

Fedora users on powerpc
by JD 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

Is there another list that is dedicated to fedora users on powerpc? I had asked a question here about booting F12 on powerbook G4, and no one answered. I assume there are no fedora/powerpc users on this list.

camera won't automount
by Claude Jones 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

I'm having problem with one device, a Nikon D90 camera, that won't automount. At some point in the past, I had set something that would cause it to be detected, but the only option offered was to download pictures with Digikam. (At some time in the past, the device notifier would offer options including opening the device in Dolphin which is what I'd prefer.) For some reason, this function didn't work properly because Digikam would open and stall on the process of detecting my images, and never would open. I have a very large image archive and this process could take a couple of minutes in the past, but it would eventually open. This camera will mount under Windows; however, in Windows, the icon never appears that allows you to eject it gracefully once you're ready to dismount it. When I attach the camera to the Windows box, it automatically opens an explorer window and shows me the folder structure, but, the eject button never appears. What I've done: I've gone into the device notifier widget settings and tried finding there, a way to disable the mount with Digikam option, but could find nothing there that affected the behavior I've removed the device notifier widget and re-installed it - no difference I found the auto-mount files "device-automounter-kcmrc" and "kded-device-automounterrc" and renamed them and restarted KDE - no difference I removed Digikam (I really don't want to use this app anyway, as I find it cumbersome) - now, the device notifier doesn't ever show the camera I re-formatted the memory card in the camera Lots of google searches on this issue, but haven't found anything else that helped Tried my other camera, a Fuji 9000, and several pen drives - these all automount successfully and offer various options for how to mount the devices with various applications The strange behavior under Windows (it automatically opens a folder with the camera memory card's root folder displayed, BUT, never produces the eject icon) makes me suspect this is some issue with the camera, but, what could it be? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA

Problem with an external usb HD - slow usb
by Luigi Castro Cardeles 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hi list, I use fedora 12 on a dell inspiron 1545 laptop. (2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64). i have a external usb hd and i can't make it connect like a usb 2.0 device. this device is ntfs format I check if the device is using ehci (dmesg after i plug the device) [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep USB usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 I check if this device is connected on a usb 2.0 [root@localhost ~]# lsusb Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0471:2021 Philips Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub I mount the device with this options: /dev/sdc1 on /media/hd_backup type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) but when i use cp, mv or rsync, the max speed i get is max 6MB/s (a lot 800kB/s). If i use this device on Windows (tested with Vista and Seven), i get much high transfer rate. I read about sync and async options, but if i put sync or async on fstab, it does not alter the transfer rate. Is this the normal upload transfer rate? I am doing something wrong?
