dict databases
by Silent-Hunter 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I have a complaint about the Fedora Package Database. Why is there only one DICT dictionary database in the package manager? I used to use Linux Mint and it had dozens of them! Celtic, and German, and Russian, etc. Does anyone know where to find those for Fedora 13?

SELinux help
by Chris Smart 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

HI all, I know there's been a lot of discussion about SELinux lately, but I like it and I use it (although I'm a recent Fedora convert). However, just today I have hit a snag and I don't know to get around it - I'm after some advice on how to work around it (without turning SELinux off!). I have a Fedora 13 OpenLDAP server for central authentication and Fedora boxes which are configured to authenticate to the LDAP server (done using Fedora's authconfig-gtk tool). In the tool under "Advanced Options" I have ticked the "Create home directories on the first login" for obvious reasons. The problem is that when the user logs in, SELinux is blocking it because it does not expect xauth to have write access to create the home directory. "SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth "write" access on [user]" How do I go about solving this? In fact, what is the _right_ way to solve this? Thanks, Chris

Running xrandr for kdm and after login
by Jonathan Gardner 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I've been playing around with a dual-monitor setup on my F13 install. I can run a command like the following to get them to display properly: /usr/bin/xrandr --output DFP2 --auto --rotate left --output CRT1 --auto --pos 1080x420 I added the above line to /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup. When I start the computer or log out, the kdm does start with both screens properly aligned, but the login box is too high on the CRT1 side so it is cut in half. I don't know how to fix where the login box shows up. Ideally, I'd like it to appear in the middle of the DFP2 screen. If someone has some tips, I'd appreciate it. I thought maybe it's getting confused with such a wide virtual space, so perhaps turning off CRT1 will get it to center it on DFP2 properly. I changed the line in /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup to the following: /usr/bin/xrandr --output DFP2 --auto --rotate left --output CRT1 --off Now CRT1 is turned off, but the login box is nowhere to be seen on DFP2. Once I log in, it obviously preserves my xrandr configuration. I'd like to have it switch to dual-monitor mode, so I tried adding the following line to /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession, but that doesn't seem to run at all. As I've mucked with the files, I might have broken something. Now knetworkmanager isn't starting, although that may be a different problem. -- Jonathan Gardner jgardner(a)jonathangardner.net

[F-13] Printing regression ?
by Denis Leroy 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi list, Woke up this morning to find my printer no longer working. Looks like a recent F-13 testing update broke my setup, even though printing has been very very stable for me as a rule these past couple of years. I'm seeing /var/log/messages:Sep 8 08:26:54 jupiler hpcups[2108]: prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 493: cupsRasterOpen failed, fd = 0 after trying to reconfigure the printer (an HP Photosmart C7280). Downgrading the recent ghostscript testing package didn't fix it. I'm still looking into it, but has anyone ran into similar problems ? -denis

Problem customizing the Panel Menubar
by Jon Ingason 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, I have a problem to customizing the Panel Menubar. I had it in F12 and I have it now in F13. I right-click on the panel menubar, but I don't get "Edit Menus", only "Help", "Delete from panel", "Move" and "lock to panel". How do I get "Edit Menus"? -- Regards Jon Ingason

DNS problem
by Gordon Charrick 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I often use the site www.kitco.com in Firefox. This is a company, in the US, that deals in precious metals (gold, silver, etc.). The problem is that when I go to the site or refresh it, I see the message "Looking up www.kitco.com" in Firefox's status bar for several seconds before the page comes up. I don't have this problem with any other web pages and also don't have this problem when I use Firefox on Windows to go to this site. Can anyone else confirm this and have an idea what's happening? I use the site a lot because they have graphs and prices that are constantly updated.

OCR program for plots recognition
by Hiisi 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Could anybody suggest me a program in Fedora repos for plot recognition? I have a bunch of graphs images scanned from different papers and I want to put them into my Ph.D. theses. I have to replot them in GNUPlot for uniformity. TIA -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982. Be counted at: http://counter.li.org/ -- Spandex is a privilege, not a right.

by Christoph A. 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I just wanted to try the fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630592 and downloaded the rpm manually http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libselinux/2.0.94/2.fc13/x86_64/… installed via: yum --nogpgcheck install <rpm> I guess this was the wrong and I would need: libselinux-2.0.94-2.fc13.i686.rpm but I'm unable to remove libselinux-2.0.94-2.fc13.x86_64.rpm yum remove libselinux-2.0.94-2.fc13 [......] [......] You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: libselinux-2.0.94-2.fc13.x86_64 is a duplicate with libselinux-2.0.90-5.fc13.i686 and according to rpm it is not even installed: rpm -e libselinux-2.0.94-2.fc13.x86_64.rpm error: package libselinux-2.0.94-2.fc13.x86_64.rpm is not installed I would like to test the fix, how should I proceed?
