Urgent help needed for rpmfusion catalyst 10.12 f14
by Peter Boy 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello, I have to use the rpmfusion catalyst driver for my ATI Radeon HD 3470 on my F14 system because of a bug in the open source driver since f12 for that specific model. The catalyst driver worked fine with version kmod-catalyst-10.12-1 / xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-10.12-2. But since an update (mar 19) to kmod-catalyst-11.2-1 / xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-11.2 I encounter regular kernel crashes, the panel crashes when I start audacious, and many other programms don't work anymore, especially some devel tools I need for my work on an open source cms project. Unfortunately I couldn't find the old files xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs-10.12-2.fc14.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-10.12-2.fc14.x86_64 anywhere on the web. I searched all mirrors, asked google without success. Does anybody have those files at hand and can send them to my mail address? Thanks in advance Peter

Can't use setkeycodes any more in Fedora 14
by Neil Bird 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

I have a not-that-old Logitech multimedia keyboard for which I have to manually add some scancode-keycode mappings. Up till F12, I could happily do that with a call to setkeycodes at boot-up. Now I've updated to F14, however, setkeycodes is always erring with: KDSETKEYCODE: Invalid argument failed to set scancode 94 to keycode 189 [numbers e.g.] FWIW, getkeycodes seems to report an empty table (although this might be correct if no extra settings have been applied): Plain scancodes xx (hex) versus keycodes (dec) 0x00: 0 - - - - - - - 0x08: - - - - - - - - 0x10: - - - - - - - - 0x18: - - - - - - - - 0x20: - - - - - - - - 0x28: - - - - - - - - 0x30: - - - - - - - - 0x38: - - - - - - - - 0x40: - - - - - - - - 0x48: - - - - - - - - 0x50: - - - - - - - - 0x58: - - - - - - - - 0x60: - - - - - - - - 0x68: - - - - - - - - 0x70: - - - - - - - - 0x78: - - - - - - - - Escaped scancodes e0 xx (hex) e0 00: - - - - - - - - e0 08: - - - - - - - - e0 10: - - - - - - - - e0 18: - - - - - - - - e0 20: - - - - - - - - e0 28: - - - - - - - - e0 30: - - - - - - - - e0 38: - - - - - - - - e0 40: - - - - - - - - e0 48: - - - - - - - - e0 50: - - - - - - - - e0 58: - - - - - - - - e0 60: - - - - - - - - e0 68: - - - - - - - - e0 70: - - - - - - - - e0 78: - - - - - - - - -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit

Re: Libreoffice calculation [OT]

Basically what I am messing with, is the March Madness bracket office pool we have at work. I take the number of wins for a round (example, 5 wins) and want to be able to just input that number into the cell, and have it automatically multiply by a set number that scores for that round (example, 10). Maybe this will help Round 2 scores 4 points per win. Someone gets 10 wins for that round. That would be 40 total points for that round. So I want to be able to just input the 10 and have it automatically multiply by 4 for me, instead of doing it in my head/on calculator. I also will be printing this sheet out (maybe converting to html first) to let everyone keep updated with the scores. So except for the info for the brackets, nothing else needs to be on there. Gonna post a URL to let you see what it currently looks like (html form) to get an idea of what I want seen. Any calculations that need done are to be hidden and not seen. http://www.miketc.net/bracket.html -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "The best town on Earth!"

CHECKSUM issue
by jim 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

I have been using Fedora 14 since its release, 32 bit version. I am building a 64 bit HTPC that doesn't have a DVD/CD drive, so I will be using a Flash for boot and download. I see recommendations for using DVD-iso and others saying use the Live-iso, so I downloaded both. In trying to confirm the download, I used the CHECKSUM for verification. The Live-iso passed and the DVD-iso failed. Is the procedure the same for each? I am absolutely a novice-minus at using gpg. The sites I used and resultant CHECKSUMS are: http://mirror.pnl.gov/fedora/linux/releases/14/Live/x86_64/ http://mirror.pnl.gov/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ In the CHECKSUM file, the listed checksum for 'Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso' 8f81741e938924f68965b5dceac7013d72fe875725b53f61bebd36e740f79b99 *Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso Checksum generated from DVD-iso from command#: 'sha256sum Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso' 8f81741e938924f68965b5dceac7013d72fe875725b53f61bebd36e740f79b99 Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso In the CHECKSUM file, the listed checksum for 'Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso' f303d600fbccd1a4984e37f067472ffc6511dda25e1ece30c664051a52fe40c5 Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso Checksum generated from DVD-iso from command#: 'sha256sum Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso' 87d0565961a56dcd7d360fa1302351dc9b6244f31bf15dade1f163c8e980aa34 Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso

LXDM themes?
by Jake Peavy 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

hey all, I recently installed the LXDE spin of F14 and the login screen is hideous. I've done a bunch of Googling but haven't found much constructive on other themes other than Industrial. I don't know much about LXDM, can someone point me in the right direction? I just want a very basic login screen, with no bubble writing and a solid background, although I do like being able to choose username from the list. Thanks, -- -jp Higher beings from outer space may not want to tell us the secrets of life, because we're not ready.

Libreoffice calculation [OT]
by Mike Chambers 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Got a sort of OT question... In libreoffice using spreadsheet, I want to input a number in a cell and have it multiply by 16. I have tried =D3*16 and =sum(D3*16) and both get errors. Anyone have any ideas? Obviously may contact me offlist and not bug the list if know the answer. thanks ahead of time, -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "The best town on Earth!"

Brasero to create video DVD?
by Alex 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi, Lots of questions today. I'm trying to use brasero on fc14 x86_64 to create a DVD video from an AVI that I downloaded, and was just wondering what people's opinion was of this program? While it seems to complete, it also just exits abruptly (disappears, really), and leaves the following in brasero-session.log: BraseroVob gstavidemux.c(5134): gst_avi_demux_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline2/GstDecodeBin:decodebin2/GstAviDemux:avidemux2: streaming stopped, reason not-negotiated BraseroVob called brasero_job_error BraseroVob finished with an error BraseroVob asked to stop because of an error error = 1 message = "Internal data stream error." BraseroVob stopping Session error : Internal data stream error. (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2839) Is this normal? Can you recommend another program that an average desktop user (my father-in-law) could use to burn a DVD from an AVI? I've tried de-ve-de, and although I like it, it's probably too complicated for him. Even a command-line application or script that could be run would be acceptable, as long as it didn't require a bunch of input decisions along the way. Thanks for any ideas. Best regards, Alex

How to compile a soft same as the version realeased by fedora?
by WangWentao 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi, guys I tried to compile OpenSceneGraph-2.8.3-3.fc14.rpm software, and got a low efficient and large version of it. But the version from fedora-repo works well. eg. my version with frame rate < 10, while fedora-repo version with frame rate ~=40. I have tried three ways: 1. configure && make 2. ccmake && make 3. rpmbuild --recompile OpenSceneGraph-2.8.3-3.fc14.src.rpm They resulted the same anyway. Especially, the rpmbuld way took 3G+ disk space, each .so file is much larger and each application is slower. It's realy strange to me. I use the gcc/g++ 4.5.1 under fedora 14. So where the differences come from? Or where are the special places in fedora's compiling environment? Any advice will be appreciated, thx. -- Bob

Automatic Backup when Drive Plugged In
by Chris Tyler 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

I was browsing the website of a computer supplier and saw an ad for an HP "Simple Save" external disk drive, which automatically initiates a hard disk backup (on Windows) when the disk is plugged into a USB port. Later this year I'll be sending my daughter to University with a Fedora-loaded laptop (she grew up on Linux :-) and have been thinking about backup options for her -- and this sounded like a cool approach. Instead of the unsafe autorun-file technique, though, I picture an app that would check the UUID on disks (or the maybe the FS volume name) as they are plugged in, and when a UUID is recognized, backup would automagically commence. But before I go off and write such a tool ... anyone know of an existing apps that does this? (yum search doesn't seem to be finding any likely candidates). -Chris
