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

How get a F15 Beta spin/desktop/KDE/XFCE/LXDE LiveCD, a daily snapshot release and install it on a spare machine/partition/VM etc. http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ This way you get to see what's coming in Fedora 15 and experience it before it gets out when it will be ready :) Regards, Antonio
