TIP: Not Another PDF Scanner
by ToddAndMargo 08 Sep '23

08 Sep '23

Hi All, Fedora 38 I just discovered the NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner) is now available as an RPM. (It saves images too.) https://www.naps2.com/download Here is a screen shot on NAPS2 running on my computer: https://imgur.com/G8NaxFc.png As many of you already know, I do a lot of work on Windows as I can not find much Linux work. I prefer Linux work as I am not constantly troubleshoot quality/system issues. I constantly install NAPS2 on my Windows customers. NAPS2 makes for a full featured, easy to use scanner utility. And my low and zero computer skill customers are able to use it without issue (I do have to set up their scanners for them though.) I especially love the ability to eMail directly from Thunderbird in NAPS2. And with "all in one" printer now being fall apart in your hands, the user does not have to learn a new way to use the new printer to scan. (Some of the scanner utility that come with the printers, all I can say is "what where they thinking?") I now have NAPS install on my fedora 38) computer. It is sweet. I am a YUGE fan of both Simple Scan and NAPS2. I now have two scanner utilities that I adore. CUSS (Common Unix Scanning System A.K.A "SANE"), not so much and have removed CUSS from my system. CUSS comes under "What were they thinking?" as well. -T p.s. cropping is over on the "Images" icon -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to clean up Python in Fedora 38
by Javier Perez 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hi Newbie/rookie in Python here I installed Pycharm to learn python, installed some libraries using pip, totally sure I must have screwed up something although I have not felt the effect yet. My question is, how can I go back to default without reinstalling my whole linux setup from scratch? This is also my personal computer and I am sure there are customizations even I forgot I set up in general. It would be kind of a pain. I know I cannot delete totally Python because linux uses it heavily nowadays. My goal is to delete whatever was installed through pip and stick to packages from the repositories and reinstall a programming environment in a reasoned, less haphazzard/ad hoc way. Is Pycharm a good IDE or is there something better, particularly for a newbie. I've seen Visual Editor but have never really used it.

Virtual Box not working after upgrade to Fedora 38
by Michael D. Setzer II 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Did the install and created the new driver as it says, and it seems to have the vboxdrv in the same relative place as it did with fc37, but gives message that not found, but file is there?? modprobe vboxdrv modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64 # find . | grep vboxdrv ./6.4.11-100.fc37.x86_64/extra/VirtualBox/vboxdrv.ko.xz ./6.4.12-100.fc37.x86_64/extra/VirtualBox/vboxdrv.ko.xz ./6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64/extra/VirtualBox/vboxdrv.ko.xz Any ideals why modprobe isn't seeing the driver that does exist??

unwanted login
by Beartooth 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

One of my F38 machines has taken to demanding that I login over and over. I want not to have to login at all. (I'm the sole user, and at home.) Fwiw, I'm running xscreensaver under Mate. Where and how do I reconfigure? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

problem with files in python3.11/gzip
by Eyal Lebedinsky 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

Running a compressing backup (afio) I get many errors in /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/scipy/ files here report zero timestamp, which makes gzip unhappy. $ ls -l --full-time /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/__init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3200 1970-01-01 10:00:00.000000000 +1000 /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/__init__.py $ gzip -kc /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/__init__.py >/dev/null gzip: /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/scipy/fftpack/__init__.py: warning: file timestamp out of range for gzip format I cannot tell if this is a python3.11 issue, a packaging issue or a gzip issue. Here in Australia we are at UTC+10 Last update seems to be 2023-05-16T13:36:21+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: gzip-1.12-3.fc38.x86_64 2023-07-04T20:25:23+1000 DEBUG Upgraded: python3-scipy-1.10.1-1.fc38.x86_64 The backup done in 2023-07-01 did not show the problem so I suspect the python3 package.
