Creating a server with Fedora 18
by Howard Howell 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

I have a friend who is vision impaired. He recently got enough of his sight back to begin working on his systems again, and is interested in setting his servers up on Fedora 18. His last version was 10 (long storage in between). Is there a site, blog or tutorial that would be easy for him to use with a screen reader or would have it broken down as a series of steps to help him get going (I know nothing of server setups now, so I cannot offer much help.) Among the things he mentioned was: Web manager. Reverse DNS. Unfortunately we were driving and I couldn't take coherent notes. Regards, Les Howell

yum Environment Groups?
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

On my Fedora 18 system, when I do a "yum group list", I get three lists of groups: Available Environment Groups, Installed Groups, and Available Groups. I understand what the second and third lists are. What is an Environment Group? Why is none actually installed (eg. GNOME Desktop)? The yum manpage mentions Environment Groups obliquely, but doesn't explain what they are. My googling doesn't seem to yield anything helpful. After I wrote that, I continued playing and discovered some more surprises. I installed a bunch of groups (but no Environment Groups). Now "yum group list" shows an Installed Environment Groups list: Infrastructure Server, Minimal Install. These had previously been listed as Available Environment Groups. Next, I installed Environment Group "GNOME Desktop". I'd have thought that was the default. No matter. A small number of additional packages were added. But yum list still shows "GNOME Desktop" as an Available Environment Group, not an Installed Environment Group. How come? Similarly, I did a yum install of Environment Group KDE Plasma Workspaces. No packages actually got added since they were all already there. Yet yum group list still shows KDE Plasma Workspaces as Available, not Installed.

My apologies for not responding sooner. I got buried in company paperwork yesterday. Then Xerox (a) accepted my ticket, and (b) gave it priority 1. So I'm putting this on hold for a few days hoping they fix their rpm file. The Xerox engineer did not seem too confident, saying: - This printer uses GDI-based drivers, so technically speaking, the - standard print process with Linux environments wouldn’t work since - they only use PostScript-based drivers or emulators. I’m sure - engineering solved that problem somehow, but I don’t see how since - the files the driver package includes are just ppds and a few filters. But he's trying. To answer your question, I did an "rpm -qp -l" on Xerox's 64-bit Linux .rpm file for this printer. I saw no PCL file. Bill.

Documentation for colord-sane
by Joe Zeff 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

I've been trying to get the nVidia drivers to work again on my desktop, using F 17. Instead of using the binary blob directly, and having to do it again and again every time the kernel updates, I've been trying this guide: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752 which worked fine with my old nVidia card. Alas, every time I've tried, the system hangs, with this as the last two lines on the screen: [ 37.160831] usb 1-4: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'colord-sane' sets config #1 [ 42.792091] usb 1-4: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'colord-sane' sets config #1 After this, the computer just sits there with no disk activity. I can use ^Alt-F2 to get to a different terminal and log in as root just fine. Top shows that nothing is going on. If I use yum to remove the drivers and reboot, it works, as does booting into an older kernel using nouveau. Once that's done, /var/log/messages has another set of the above lines, followed by this: khorlia colord-sane[665]: (colord-sane:665): CdSane-WARNING **: failed to create device: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists: device id 'sane-Canon PIXMA MX410' already exists I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't been able to find any documentation on the service. In fact, I've even looked up various bugs at Bugzilla, and emailed the person one of them was assigned to, asking for a pointer to the info I needed, but haven't had a reply after well over 24 hours. (Not a complaint; people get busy.) If anybody can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it because, if nothing else, I might be able to learn how to get the trouble-shooting info I need. And, while I'm thinking about it, there are no AVC alerts, so it's not related to SELinux.

Fedora 18 network printer setup
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

I have a Brother DCP-7065dn printer scanner connected to my LAN. Sadly, it requires a proprietary driver. I've installed that. <http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html> I asked the System Settings: Printers to set it up (add the printer). The SS:P found the printer (so it must have found its IP address) and added it. But the SS:P was only willing to configure it with the IP Address "localhost". Not surprisingly, printing didn't work. I even tried telling SS:P the printer's IP address, but it ignored that and used localhost. I used SS:P to remove the printer again. I used the CUPS web server to add the printer (as suggested on the Brother page). That worked. My printer has a static IP address, which made pointing Firefox at it easier. Why would Systems Settings: Printers not be able to add this network printer?

yum erase unused dependencies
by Bill Davidsen 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

I recall last year a discussion of using yum to remove unwanted packages, and tell it to remove only dependencies which were used by no other package. I can't seem to find how that was done in my notes, could someone give me a pointer to the method? -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
