PXE instillation of Fedora
by Aaron Gray 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Since these HP ProLiant DL150's dont have CD's, I need to do a PXE instillation from another Fedora box. Does anyone have a link to proper instructions on how to do this. I have looked at quite a few instructions but non that outline the Fedora files necessary to be put under /tftpboot on the server. Also it says on the ProLiant documentation that you only need tfpd and bootp and not full DHCP ? Any advice welcome, particularly if you have done a PXE instillation of Fedora. Many thanks in advance, Aaron

Getting a USB driver added for a device ? (Hitec HPP-22, wine, USB, RC)
by linux guy 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

I use the Hitec Aurora 9 (A9) transmitter for my remote control vehicles. http://www.hitecrcd.com/products/aircraft-radios-receivers-and-accesories/a… This transmitter is part of a system of devices. One of the devices in this system is the HPP-22, which is a USB device that allows a computer to communicate with the A9 in order to load and save model information as well as update the firmware in the transmitter and receivers. http://www.hitecrcd.com/products/aircraft-radios-receivers-and-accesories/t… Hitec publishes closed source Windows based software to enable a Windows computer to communicate with the HPP-22. http://hitecrcd.co.kr/tester/hpp_22.htm After renaming the install file from "Install_hpp_22_V1.04(1).exe" to "Install_hpp_22_V1.04.exe" in Dolphin, wine runs the installer just fine, albeit with a few warning messages. Note: Bash doesn't allow () characters. Doing a right click on the file name in Dolphin allowed me to change it. In hindsight this could have been corrected when downloading the install fall. When I run the resulting HPP-22 program, it displays "HPP-22 is disconnected." Ie its not finding the HPP-22 hardware connected to the PC via a USB cable. dmesg states the following: ====================================================== [263071.342137] usb 6-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 [263071.514255] usb 6-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1e1a, idProduct=001f [263071.514266] usb 6-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [263071.514273] usb 6-1: Product: HPP-22 [263071.514278] usb 6-1: Manufacturer: HITECRCD Inc [263071.514283] usb 6-1: SerialNumber: HPP-22-00000 [263071.524680] generic-usb 0003:1E1A:001F.0005: hiddev97,hidraw2: USB HID v0.01 Device [HITECRCD Inc HPP-22] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1/input0 ======================================================= lsusb returns this: ====================================================== $ lsusb Bus 007 Device 002: ID 046d:c521 Logitech, Inc.

size of root-doc is enormous
by Genes MailLists 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

This package ( part of the 'root' package suite - which is inappropriately named given the special meaning of root on unix/linux) is 500 to 600 MiB. Really ? wow ... yum info root-doc: This package contains the automatically generated ROOT class : documentation. Curious - why is thing so large ? And if its automatically generated, can it be generated on the client instead of propogating thru mirrors? yum info root: Description : The ROOT system provides a set of object oriented frameworks with : all the functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts : of data in a very efficient way. Having the data defined as a set : of objects, specialized storage methods are used to get direct : access to the separate attributes of the selected objects, without : having to touch the bulk of the data. Included are histogramming : methods in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, curve fitting, function : evaluation, minimization, graphics and visualization classes to : allow the easy setup of an analysis system that can query and : process the data interactively or in batch mode. ...

Fedora/3.6.14-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.14 youTube colors are mostly red/yellow, how to reset?
by Dan Thurman 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

The last two updates seems to have messed up the color palette for FF YouTube videos. All I see are mostly red/yellow colors. I checked my movie players & my webcam and they all seem to work properly, its just that youTube on FF does not work at all. I tried Epipany and it works. Is it a FF bug?

Printing from WinXP machine to a F14 machine.
by Aaron Konstam 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

I am trying to print from an XP machine to a F14 but it is defeating me. I am running the IIS system on XP which is supposed to support the ipp protocol for accessing printers. It has a HP Deskjet on it as a local printer. Cups on the F14 is supposed to also support ipp communication. In the XP documentation you are supposed to able to browse for printers in the add printer GUI but none is found by my XP. It is also suggested in the documentation to try: http://host-address/printers to reveal printers on networked machines but I get nothing. Can anyone describe the method to get this to work? I have tried many other things but nothing works. What am I missing -- ======================================================================= "Plan to throw one away.
