Install Fedora on an android tablet or an iPad?
by CS DBA 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi all, Anyone know of any projects / methods to install Fedora on a tablet like the iPad or an android tablet? I have an iPad and I run into things I wish I could do with it every day. Linux on my tablet would rock! Thanks in advance... Sent from my iPad that I hope will be running Fedora Linux soon

I don't think it's a "distro related" issue, so i'm posting it here too: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11289/how-to-install-fedoraubuntu-w… what am i missing? why doesn't GRUB offer the 2 distros@boot, why is it only offering only 1?? why doesn't it sees the other one?? Thanks for any help...

Wallet mysteries
by Timothy Murphy 07 May '11

07 May '11

Is there a one-page explanation of wallet (actually I am using KDE Wallet) anywhere? On one laptop I have to give my wallet password everytime I go to my news account at news.eternal-september.org ; on my other laptop I am not asked for this. What is the explanation? And how can I stop this request being made?

anyone running android sdk to talk to a real phone on fedora 14?
by Tom Horsley 07 May '11

07 May '11

I can't figure out if this is a kernel problem or what (though I lean towards kernel since it works one way immediately after powering up the system and a different way after that). If I plug in my samsung intercept phone right after powering off then powering back up and booting fedora 14, I see this show up in /var/log/messages: Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.131064] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.354901] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=681c Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.354905] usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.374157] usb 2-3: can't set config #1, error -71 And lsusb shows this: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04e8:681c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy Portal/Spica Android Phone which isn't really right as it is an Intercept, not a Galaxy.

No matter how many times I plug in in after that, I'll see the same thing. On the other hand, an ancient crappy system I have with only usb 1 ports seems to work fine. It detects a communications device and creates a /dev/ttyACM0 (or something like that) as well as a storage device for the SD card. Does this sound like something I should report as a kernel bug?

So where are my workspaces??
by Beartooth 01 May '11

01 May '11

Having had trouble with F15 media, I told preupgrade on an expendable (heavily backed up) pc to go to F15 beta. It did, eventually, after taking an amazingly long time -- and looks worse, so far, than I had feared. I logged in, and it put me onto what has always been my workspace #1. But there are no panels, let alone a workspace switcher; and right- clicking does nothing anywhere. I have it doing yum update at present, also going through an amazing lot of stuff. Will that enable me to orient myself? Or is this release a total loss already for all but Alpha Plus Technoids? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

F14 scanner no longer recognised!
by mike cloaked 01 May '11

01 May '11

Until a few months ago my scanner attached to the usb port on my machine was working fine under F14. It needed a simple: Add two lines to /lib/udev/rules.d/65-libsane.rules under the Samsung Lines: # Samsung SCX-4500W ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="342b", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" and then firing up the Gimp I could scan immediately - however I have not used the scanner for a few months and today when I needed it there it is not recognised. I tried (as root): sane-find-scanner - and it gives: "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.], product=0x342b [SCX-4500W Series]) at libusb:001:002" but yet: "[root@home1 ~]# scanimage -L No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages)." My original config is still as it was (I checked) - and also the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf still contains the "xerox_mfp" entry at the bottom that used to be needed. I also made selinux permissive in case that was the issue - and it was the same - Does anyone know if something has changed in F14 recently that may have been the cause of this change to scanner recognition - or a way to work around this? Thanks -- mike c

HELP - Fedora 14 with kernel 2.6.39-rc5
by John Wendel 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

I've got a couple of boxes running F14 and I thought I'd play with a 2.6.39 kernel. I currently run 2.6.38.4 on both, so I do know how to build a kernel. I tried my working 2.6.38 kernel config files and the latest Fedora kernel configs as starting points. Long story short, I can't get any video out of either box. One has a radeon card and the other has nvidia. The system boots, and I can ssh in, but no pretty pictures. I'm stuck. Any hints will be appreciated. Thanks, John
