F18, F19 webalizer problem?
by Cristian Sava 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Hi all, Webalizer is enabled via /etc/sysconfig/webalizer but I don't understand why /etc/cron.daily/00webalizer has this line: [ "z$WEBALIZER_CRON" != "zyes" ] && exit 0 that I think it should be (and it is working this way) [ "$WEBALIZER_CRON" != "yes" ] && exit 0 What is the mistery? C.Sava

What's the best (recommended) way to modify a Fedora install ISO ?
by Fernando Cassia 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

I'm curious as to what is the best, or official way to modify a Fedora ISO image considering that I only want to change the defaults of a few handful packages, not do any major rebranding or modifications. For instance, I'd like a Fedora ISO that includes cups-pdf pre-installed as the default printer. How would one go about adding such package to the default LiveCD? Let's say also that I want only Firefox and all other packages under "Internet" removed. Just to name two examples... is there a "custom LiveCD creator" ?

"This print job requires a PostScript Language Level 3 Printer"
by Sam Varshavchik 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

So I need to ship back some defective merchandize. The vendor sends me a link to a UPS return label, I open it in Firefox, and try to print it. The printer is an HP 1320. When I try to print it, the printer blinks happily for a few seconds, but stays quiet, and Fedora tells me that the print job completed succesfully. I try a few variations. Tell Firefox to print to a PDF file, then open it in evince, and try to print it. Same results. Tried having Firefox print to a PS file. Tried using pdf2ps on the PDF file. Tried a few other things. I forget exactly what I tried, but on one particular attempt the printer woke up. I got all excited, until the printer ejected a single page, with a single sentence "This print job requires a PostScript Language Level 3 Printer", and completely blank otherwise. Very funny. I finally got the label to come out by having Firefox print to an SVG file, opening it in document viewer, and printing it. That worked. HP 1320 is a postscript printer, but it looks to me like some PDFs (not all, I can print most PDFs without any issues) contain Postscript features that the printer does not support. Anyone know if there's a way to get CUPS to handle that correctly.

Are the nvidia drivers suppose to be working? If so, what is the secret? Also, I have a dualband router and I am not able to connect to my 5g network. Please advise. -- All things are workable but don't all things work. Prov. 3:5 & 6

How do I prevent sound devices being search for when trying to install from a LiveCD\DVD I have onboard audio disabled in bios, but I have an nVidia VGA\DVI\HDMI Graphics, and it's the hdmi audio it's hunting for. Coming up as nVidia HDA (device) The only bz I found was: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40748 -- Regards, Frank www.frankly3d.com

F18 - dual screen problem
by Robin Laing 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

After an update, my dual display started having problems and I don't know where to look. A clean install of Fedora using KDE spin worked wonderfully with this setup. On one upgrade, the Fedora boot process is mirrored on both displays and stays mirrored after X starts which is configured as side by side. When I do a power on boot, the bios display is only on Display 1. Once Fedora picks the kernel, the display changes to mirrored and any comments or splash screens are the same on both screens. If I use CTRL+ALT+F3 for example, the terminal is mirrored to both displays. Screen saver password request box comes up on both screens but the data only goes in on one screen. I can use either box to enter the password. X runs slower under this configuration as I think it competes for control and if I try to run some applications (games) the display really gets screwed up if they require full screen, such as Tuxracer. This will be displayed on both screens in a mirrored mode and then won't go back to side by side until I reset the configuration. I have tried to search through the grub2 settings to find where the screen resolution is set but have not succeeded in configuring this. I am using Nvidia video card with the Nouveau driver. Is adding the following to the /etc/default/grub the correct way to fix problems? GRUB_GFXMODE=3840x1080x32 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Why is Fedora-19-alpha so extremely slow?
by Regina Anger 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Greetings, Because F17 and F18 installers have bugs when installing with encryption enabled for "/" on my notebook (and the F18 respin does not start installation at all) I decided to give F19-alpha a try. However, the system runs very slow (compared to F17 on the same notebook) - XOrg performs poorly and larger applications (firefox) take a lot more time for startup than on F17. I guess this is because of debugging options (run-time checks etc) enabled. Is there any way to avoid this additional debugging overhead somehow, like some kernel parameters or .... Thx, Regina
