Configuring USB-connected printer
by Geoffrey Leach 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

I'm unable to configure a printer, connected via usb, under Fedora 15. Fedora 14 Anaconda recognized and configured automatically. The hardware configuration has not changed. The URI for the printer generated by Anaconda was usb://HP/LaserJet%201300 Using this URI to configure the printer on Fedora 15 does not work; the test page job is queued, but not printed. Ditto using usb://HP/LaserJet FWIW, here's the USB description for the port. The "Belk" is a Belkin parallel-to-usb adapter. Same as under Fedora 14. T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=050d ProdID=0002 Rev=02.02 S: Manufacturer=Belk USB Printing Support S: Product=IEEE-1284 Controller C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=100mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 2 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.)

Re: Developers responsibillity to Fedora Users
by Wade Hampton 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

[snip long rants] The "customers" of Fedora are the users. If you irritate or frustrate your users, especially if the cost is $0 to move to something else, you WILL lose market share and hence mind share. Additional data points that might add to the flames: 1) I have a co-worker new to Linux. He tried F15 and hated it, then went back to F14. I believe WinXP/Vista/7 users trying Linux for the first time ARE confused by F15/Gnome3. 2) Other friends/co-workers have moved to Ubuntu for their desktop and only use RHEL/CentOS for servers (No Fedora). 3) It took me hours to get my F15 laptop sane including finding obscure settings to turn on the minimize in windows, and a working printer configuration application. These are the reasons why only one of my Linux-based laptops/netbooks/desktops is F15 and the rest are F14 or Ubuntu. I hope to try Fedora 16 alpha soon. I hope that most of the major objections to Gnome 3 in F15 have been addressed and that developers have listened to the complaints. I plan to remain a loyal Fedora user as I have used RHL & Fedora since about RHL 2 or 3 circa 1995 (and Slackware before that). Open source is GREAT, but developers must remember that the cost (time and $) to move from one version to another is very low.... Cheers, -- Wade Hampton

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nvidia glxgears
by John Schmitt 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

I have the nvidia driver from rpmfusion installed. All my OpenGL apps are accelerated and work well except for one thing: $ glxgears Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual # glxgears does not run $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nvidia glxgears # glxgears runs the way you expect I've uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia drivers, mesa and all their dependencies a few times which did not change this. I removed /etc/ld.so.cache and ran ldconfig which did not change the behaviour. What is going on? How do I fix this?
