Thinkpad A22p/Improper Video on Install
by James McKenzie
I'm trying to install FC8 on my old, creaky Thinkpad A22p (ATI Rage
Mobility Rage 3) and the video from the graphical installer is not
correct. I get about 1/3 of the orginal screen, then 1/3 of the third
1/3 of screen followed by that 1/3 again.
If I use the text installer, X will not start when running the first
time after installing.
TTIA.

used the archives to see if this had been answered before posting!)

firefox youtube cookie fix
by Frank Cox
I keep the "accept cookies from sites" option un-checked in my Firefox
preferences and maintain a (short) list of websites that I allow cookies
from.
Even though I have "allow for session" set for www.youtube.com, it still
comes up with "An error occurred" when I try to play a video. If I
check "accept cookies from sites" and reload the page, it works even
though no cookie that's not already on my whitelist shows up.
Which is a pain because I have to change that setting, reload the page,
watch the video and then remember to change the setting back to not
accept cookies again.
I just found the fix.
www.youtube.com is already on my "accept for session" cookie exception
list.
Adding youtube.com (note no www in that) to that list manually (under
Edit-Prefrences-Privacy-Exceptions) solves the problem..

Printing problem on FC13
by Alex
Hi,
I've set up a printer entry for my Brother HL-5070N network printer,
and when I print a test page it instead prints one page with "ERROR
NAME; undefined COMMAND; -12345X@PJL OPERAND STACK", followed by pages
and pages of blank paper until I turn off the printer.
There is a choice of a number of print drivers, and I've tried a few
of them, including ljet4, hl1250, and a ghostscript driver, and they
all do the same thing.
It hasn't worked since I installed FC13, but did work when I
previously had Ubuntu and an older FC installed on this computer.
How can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Alex

USB Printer Problem (still...)
by Smith, Herb
I haven't made any progress on getting my Xerox 6130 printer to work with F13. It's a fully updated F13 system on a Dell Dimension Desktop. The device manager see the Xerox printer on one of the usb ports and Fedora seems to have a driver for the printer, but the Add Printer process does not seem to recognize that the printer is there.
Is there any way to determine the correct URI for the printer on the usb port? If so, I could manually configure the printer.
The device manager does not give the URI for the thing, but it does see it as a Xerox 6130N printer.
Thanks in advance

Status of ESATA in F13 ?
by linux guy
I am wondering how ESATA devices are supposed to work in F13 these days.
Does F13 support hot plugging of ESATA devices ?
Are they only recognized at boot time ?
Are they supported at all ?
Thanks

Selinux beating up on Chromium

FC13/KDE
setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing
/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox "net_raw" access . For
complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l

I run the sealert -l 68797c25-9748-4ab8-b020-f63a80f543a7 and that

In about a hour and a half I get the same error message.

Still no kmod for new nvidia
by Michael Miles
Hello there
I have been waiting to see if a kmod comes available and there seems to
be the wrong one published by RPMfusion.
The release is kmod 2.6.32.16-141 for 195-36.31-1
The driver is 195-36.31-2
I am not sure if it miss labelled or just not the right kmod
This does not show up in update but when I search nvidia it's there.
Any input

selinux throwing incomprehensible errors when trying to run GoogleEardh
by Claude Jones
It seems to be saying that the directory access requested requires
labeling as usr_t, but its current type is usr_t -- it requires
usr_t but it's currently labeled usr_t -- there appears to
confusion here on the part of Selinux, no? I've tried applying the
recommended fix, but the recommended fix just resets the labelling
to what it already is, and I'm going round in circles
Summary:
SELinux is preventing /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin "execmod"
access to
/opt/google-earth/libIGGfx.so.
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by /opt/google-earth/googleearth-
bin.
/opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin is mislabeled.
/opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin default SELinux type is usr_t,
but its current
type is usr_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may
fix your
problem.

stardict problem
by François Patte
-----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?
Thank you.

how not to initialize HD
by Paul Cartwright
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.
