OpenOffice to LibreOffice
by Antonio Olivares 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Dear folks, Upon reading some alerts, I have found out that OpenOffice is being forked and now it will be LibreOffice. It has the backing of Novel, Red Hat, ..., etc. This had to be done because of Oracle's recent treatment of OpenSolaris, and the possibility of it doing something similar here? http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3905711/Open-Office-Suite… We would have still had gnumeric, and abiword, koffice and other software, but just in case Oracle changes it's mind? Now, Fedora 14 will continue to ship with OpenOffice version, will next version of Fedora switch to LibreOffice? Thanks! Regards, Antonio

I would have thought that the point of having different pre-final release versions, including release candidates, is to progressively improve the version ie reduce bugs - as it gets closer to a final release?

Java plugin in WebKitGTK JVM dialogs - how do I disable?
by Barry Scott 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

I want to run java applets in WebKitGTK on Fedora 13. When I run tightvnc, for example, the JVM pops up a dialog asking for permission to run the trusted applet. Since my application has no keyboard or mouse, its a kiosk app, there is no way to click on the dialog. What I want to do is configure the system so that it never asks and assumes yes run the app. How do I do this for all possible applets? Barry

F13 <-> Samsung Galaxy S via USB
by Gary Stainburn 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi folks, If I connect a USB memory stick to my laptop it access it fine, with it appearing in the 'Devices recently plugged in' and I can access the stick fine. If I try this with my Samsung Galaxy S in Mass storage mode, it doesn't work. If you look at the following extract from /var/log/messages, you can see that it gets as far as seeing the two devices (Phone memory and Micro SD card) but doesn't make them available. The Toshiba shown below is the memory stick that works. Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

foomatic/hplip vs hpcups drivers
by JD 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Just wanted to know if the foomatic hplip drivers and the hpcups drivers are mutually exclusive? Reason I ask is that the foomatic hplip project configured itself (when I installed it) so that none of the hplip drivers got installed, but the hpcups drivers did. This sourceforge project provides the shell script that builds and installs the binaries. User does not get to play with configure.

installing HP printer, setup
by Mickey 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

FC13 I have installed the HPLIP drivers for a Deskjet F4580 printer, but cups can't complete setup because of a file called foomatic-rip-hplip ,which doesn't exist in fedora , but foomatic-rip does exist in fedora. This foomatic-rip-hplip is called from the the .ppd file, instead of the foomatic-rip file. I have to edit the .ppd file for this printer and change the foomatic-rip-hplip to foomatic-rip, WHERE is THIS .PPD file located in FC13 ?

Maximum number of NICs for Linux.
by byrdca 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Today I was asked about the maximum number of NICs supported by the Linux kernel. My initial response was "probably more than you need". Its been bothering me that I didn't know where to find the answer. I looked in include/linux/limits.h, I didn't expect to find it but that was my first thought. I then started digging through drivers/net but I soon got lost. I'm after the hard data for the maximum number of ethernet cards a modern Linux system supports, anyone have any ideas on where I find this data?

F13 wifi goes a little crazy (Networkmanager)
by Boggiano 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

I've a strange problem with NetworkManager on my fedora 13. The system is up-to-date and kernel is 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE. Basically, every minute I lost the connection on the wireless interface (wlan0), only for a couple of second, but it's really annoying when I'm using skype, for example. The connection is very simple: it's not secured! I don't have a static ip, so I must use dhcp. I never had any problem with other versions of fedora on this network. I have only F13 on this laptop (HP HDX18). --> lspci <-- 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection --> iwevent <-- 16:38:40.512753 wlan0 Scan request completed 16:38:43.015620 wlan0 New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated 16:38:45.688226 wlan0 Scan request completed 16:38:45.688541 wlan0 Set Mode:Managed 16:38:45.688551 wlan0 Set Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) 16:38:45.688566 wlan0 Set ESSID:"wlan-ap" 16:38:45.694417 wlan0 Association Response IEs:010482848B9632080C1218243048606C 16:38:45.694443 wlan0 New Access Point/Cell address:00:23:69:78:FA:49 16:39:38.881457 wlan0 Scan request completed 16:39:41.383649 wlan0 New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated 16:39:44.056186 wlan0 Scan request completed 16:39:44.056845 wlan0 Set Mode:Managed 16:39:44.056873 wlan0 Set Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) 16:39:44.056912 wlan0 Set ESSID:"wlan-ap" 16:39:44.063084 wlan0 Association Response IEs:010482848B9632080C1218243048606C 16:39:44.063132 wlan0 New Access Point/Cell address:00:23:69:78:FA:49 16:40:58.856974 wlan0 Scan request completed 16:41:01.359595 wlan0 New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated 16:41:04.055649 wlan0 Scan request completed 16:41:04.056419 wlan0 Set Mode:Managed 16:41:04.056447 wlan0 Set Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) 16:41:04.056485 wlan0 Set ESSID:"wlan-ap" 16:41:04.062461 wlan0 Association Response IEs:010482848B9632080C1218243048606C 16:41:04.062510 wlan0 New Access Point/Cell address:00:23:69:78:FA:49 .. .. --> /var/log/messages <-- Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost NetworkManager[1535]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: completed -> disconnected Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: IT Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: IT Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: (2402000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm) Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm) Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: (5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm) Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost kernel: (5490000 KHz - 5710000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2700 mBm) Sep 28 21:14:13 localhost NetworkManager[1535]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: disconnected -> scanning Sep 28 21:14:15 localhost NetworkManager[1535]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: scanning -> associating Sep 28 21:14:15 localhost NetworkManager[1535]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: associating -> associated Sep 28 21:14:15 localhost NetworkManager[1535]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: associated -> completed --> /etc/modprobe.d/network.conf <-- options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=IT options iwlagn 11n_disable=1 11n_disable50=1 disable_hw_scan=1 I forced this options, doing some researches on the net, but the problem is still there.

How can I do ?
