Unable to get projector to work
by Henrik Frisk 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Hi all, I reaqlize that the info I'm giving here might be to little to give any good suggestions, but I'm giving it a try nevertheless. I have a MBP with the following graphics card: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac Edition] (rev a1) I have no problem connecting to a second screen (VGA, Nouveau), but when I connect to a projector (VGA) it doesn't show up at all. No, I don't have the models of the two projectors I've tried with, but I did have the same problem with my other computer and Fedora 15 (that time I was running NVIDIA drivers). Am I missing something obvious here? I wasn't clever enough to look at Xorg.0.log yesterday when I tried the projector (I've been looking through it now but I can't seem to find the right place), but I will next time and perhaps I can provide better information. Best, /Henrik

The GDM greeter does not offer KDE as desktop after installing the group "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
by Joachim Backes 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

I installed the env group "KDE Plasma Workspaces" and expected that after logout KDE is offered as additional desktop env, but I don't see this if pressing the gear-wheel on the gdm login greeter. Any ideas? Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel-3.13.8-200.fc20.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/de-index.html https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/en-index.html

Just to see if I can do it, I thought I'd set up a small grid/cluster using fedora. Does anybody know of a good step-by-step guide for this (preferably free and online :-) )? Thanks, billo

Fresh Install of Fedora 20 installed last night.

Fwd: Fan speed going up and down?
by c. marlow 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Hi, I have installed F20 Mate for the first time and have been using it for 2 or 3 days now, and when opening Firefox the fan picks up speed and gets faster, slower, faster, slow. But it seems like when I close FF the fan goes back to a normal lower speed? Why is that? Is this normal? Thanks, Christopher

how to request RPMfusion to create an rpm
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, I was wondering how one goes about requesting RPMfusion to create a package which does not fall within Fedora's guidelines. The package I am interested in is: https://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/ I had moderate trouble installing it on one 64-bit WS, but on the other one, I am still working on it (not easy). I was thinking if such an RPM was available from RPMfusion, etc, this would be very useful to people like me. I looked up BZ for RPMfusion, but you can only file against a specific component. Since this component does not exist on RPMfusion, I wonder how to go about filling in a request. I understand that this request can be denied (it is after all a volunteer effort), but it still can not hurt to try!

Display issues
by CS DBA 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

All; We have a laptop running fedora 20, we plugged it into an hdmi projector, then the fun started... the second monitor never connected, since then if we go to system settings --> "Display and Monitor" we see the second monitor (greyed out) even after we disconnected the projector, and it's persistent across reboots... How can we get rid of this phantom second display? Thanks in advance

Fedora and Garamond (LaTeX) fonts
by Ranjan Maitra 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, I have been trying my luck at using Garamond fonts in LaTeX with Fedora. From the repo, I found texlive-ebgaramond-svn30741.0.15__2013_05_22_-4.fc20.noarch and installed it. I got LaTeX to compile my document, however, I am unable to get the boldface fonts. Not sure why this is, so can someone suggest how I can get boldface fonts to work. According to this website (which uses garamond as opposed to ebgaramond fonts), I should be able to get it to work. (I wonder what the difference between the garamond and ebgaramond packages are, if any.) http://gael-varoquaux.info/computers/garamond/index.html Can anyone please help with what I am missing?
