OpenOffice.org alongside LibreOffice
by Pasha R 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hi all, Is it possible to install OOo alongside LO on F17? When I try, rpm complains that "file /usr/bin/soffice from install of openoffice.org3.4-freedesktop-menus-3.4-9593.noarch conflicts with file from package libreoffice-core-1:3.5.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64". Is there a workaround? Thanks.

Hello, I have a Canon camera: Bus 006 Device 004: ID 04a9:3055 Canon, Inc. PowerShot G2 When I try to import the picture by using shotwell I get an error message: Unable to fetch previews from the camera: I/O problem (-7) But When I do the same from root, this glitch disappears. How can I fix it? Thank. -- ====================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)kegtux.org ======================================================================

Since you're using wlan0 I assume this is a portable machine, take it to someplace with free public Wifi and see if it does the same thing. Usual rules about security & public Wifi apply, just opening a connection shouldn't be an issue. > > Kind regards, Frank Elsner > -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

I do not know where the problem is: shal I file a bug??? I changed the subject as I realized that Firefox is not to be blamed.....

Using fully updated ruby and Rails on Fedora 16. Trying to learn rails. I have Is there a Rails forum or group in Melbourne or Australia to whom I can ask questions. I had a look at github but it is very confuzzling, looks like it's for highly skilled devs. I couldn't find anywhere to ask learner's questions. thank you in advance Roger

F16 on Lenovo x120e - cannot resume out of suspend mode
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

This started last friday. Basically if I suspend the system comes up but no video and no keyboard response. Power switch off does not seem to work, I have to pull AC and battery and I hear the drive stop. This started when I had some runaway tasks that were eating up all my CPU (only single core model) so I was switching to terminal 2 <ctl-alt-sft-F2>, running top, figuring out what might be going crazy, switching back to terminal 1 and stopping programs. After about 5 of these switchs, no switching back to terminal 1 and reboot and poweroff did not do anything (actually no keyboard response). I ended up pulling the battery. Since then suspend has stopped working right; don't know if they are related. This evening, I powered up, applied all updates, powered down, powered up, powered down, powered up, THEN tried suspend and no dice still. I WAS traveling and thursday, the notebook was in my backback on a 9 hour drive, but not particularly bounced around. It came out of suspend just fine friday morning. Or so it seemed. Advice for trouble shooting? I really don't want to reinstall Fedora, I was hoping to wait until F18 for the next OS install.

You should be able to use /etc/dhcp/dhclient-wlan0.conf .
