Printing advice
by Roelof 'Ben' Kusters 01 May '12

01 May '12

Would anyone be able to advise me regarding what printer to buy? Requirements are: - Can print A3 (29.7 x 42 cm, 11.6 x 16.5 inch) (and A4) sized paper. - Scores 'good' on a price/quality ratio; meaning not super-high-professional-quality but good enough for a small office where the primary function is NOT printing; for the office that is, the printer's primary function is obvious... :D - Is supported by Fedora. I have (good) experiences with Epson and HP, but I am hoping for some input from people with (more) experience. -- Greetz, Roelof Kusters aka Ben The internet isn't a highway, it's a swamp: the more you surf, the more it draws you in.

lost ability to play .wav files after recent updates
by dave perry 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hi, For the last week, I get the following error message in either MoviePlayer or Rhythmbox when I try to play .wav files. The following plugins are required: * GStreamer element ffmpegcolorspace * GStreamer element audioresample According to my search on the net, both are provided by gstreamer-plugins-base rpm. yum says I have the most recent version of this rpm. # yum install gstreamer-plugins-base Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Package gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.35-3.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do Since I could play these .wav files in either program a few weeks ago, it appears something broke with the last update. Any help is appreciated.

f16, vncserver, screen geometry
by Mike Wright 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hi all, Finally have f16 installed into a xen box. After some confusion with systemctl I managed to get vncserver hooked up and started; however, it's config file (/etc/sysconfig/vncservers) seems to get ignored WRT -geometry. I use that same file on all of my other fedoras without a hitch. I did find that I could enlarge the vnc window by using f16's systemSettings->display but none of the the built-in resolution choices fit my display full screen: either too small or too large with scroll bars. Ideally vncserver would honor the -geometry setting in its config file but since the vncserver window's size can be forced by changing the display's size it should be possible to add another size to the list of those available. I guess this is two questions in one. 1) Has the config file for vncserver moved or is f16's vncserver implementation broken? 2) Is it possible to add a custom display size somewhere? (looking to add 1670x1020). Thanks for any help, Mike Wright

Memory loss after long uptime
by Konstantin Svist 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hi all, I have a strange recurring problem on some of my servers, maybe someone can help me figure out what might be causing it. After running a MySQL machine with fairly high load for a while (~month), RAM usage in top stops making sense. Normally, RES column accounts for everything currently present in RAM (not swap) and corresponds pretty well with mem_used-buffers-cache. This is always the case after a fresh boot and seems to be the case on most other servers. But that's not the case here: 59098540k used - 1633832k cached - 25824k buffers = 57438884 (54.7G) supposedly used by all processes sum(RES column from top) ~= 35127296k (33.5G) So where's the other 21G?? I'm pretty sure I'm not nitpicking here, this is >30% of total system RAM unaccounted for. I've tried stopping all non-OS specific processes (and restarting some services that seemed to eat more RAM that they should have (irqbalance)) -- and memory is not reclaimed. Over the few years that I've seen this problem, I've already replaced all the hardware and upgraded Fedora from 8 to 14 (currently running 2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64) and MySQL and other code without any sign of improvement. Interestingly, another machine with same hardware & OS runs MySQL in slave mode to replicate the DB -- that machine has uptime of 134 days and does not exhibit the same symptoms. In fact, here is its mem footprint: 63166496k used - 19786032k cached - 2881484k buffers = 40498980k (38.6G) sum(RES column from top) ~= 45.5G (which makes sense since a few RAM-hungry processes share memory) Please help!

bash history
by Peter G. 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

I read about a shell variable called HISTIGNORE that is supposed to prevent duplicate commands from occurring in .bash_history. I put the following line into ~/.bash_profile: export HISTIGNORE="&" It's not working. I still have duplicate commands galore. Why isn't is working?

No subtitle on VLC or SMplayer
by Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hello, All on a sudden, I can't see any subtitle on smplayer or VLC . Sometimes embedded subs work under dragon player but that's it. How to fix this? I've tried every way I know. And yes, I'm loading/locating the subs (.srt) every time.

I appear to have 2 versions installed 4.7.4-1 cannot be removed 4.8.1-1 would remove KDE as well Unfortunately yum reports a conflict with 4.7.4-1 if I try to update to 4.8.2-1 It reports conflicts with 4.7.4-1 for most of the png files It also reports the same problem if I try to reinstall 4.8.1-1 Any ideas?
