Re: Blackberry 8830 with Network Manager

Christopher A. Williams — 2008-12-04T04:05:01

I have the barry packages installed from the F10 repos. When I ran F9, I used barry as well and configured it for my carrier (Sprint) using Gnome-ppp. It then "magically" showed up in NetworkManager and just worked. On F10, Gnome-ppp seems to have been pulled. Barry now sets the modem up on /dev/pts/0 (or 1 or 2 - seems to be on the fly). Then I'm unable to use kppp to connect. Configuring directly through NetworkManager has not worked for me at all. There's a script that comes with Barry that allegedly connects up Sprint automatically. After running it, it appears to connect, but none of my apps seem to be able to use it. It seems hal-info has what it needs to recognize the sdram card as a drive, and even put mp3s on it. But we're sitting at squat for using it as a broadband modem. Maybe I should Bugzilla that part. Not sure if that will help though - my other hal-info bugzilla bug for my Sierra Wireless broadband card (AT&T USB Connect Mercury) is still sitting unassigned despite my being asked to crea

Printer tray/envelope feeder selection with OO and CUPS

Simon Slater — 2008-12-04T03:34:10

Hi all, a question to answer before another forest is cut down. I'm using OOWriter to print an envelope and single page via CUPS to a Lexmark Optra S. This did work fine in FC6 and I'm sure since F8 has been installed, but not now. The document is either printed on 2 A4 sheets or 2 envelopes, not one of each. I've tracked things to a CUPS bug ( www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=60661&highlight=envelope ) that was supposed to be fixed in version 1.3.7 used for Ubuntu. I'm using cups-1.3.9-1.fc8. Shouldn't this bug be fixed? This link ( www.cups.org/str.php?L2831 ) shows a patch, but what do I do with it? The kids are now happy with the extra colouring paper & envelopes ... the trees will be thankful for a speedy answer - so will I.

Re: F10 install - custom partitioning - no LVM logical volumes

Frode Petersen — 2008-12-04T02:48:35

Frode Petersen: (Back from the install session) I accidentally figured this out. You have to select one of the listed logical volumes and choose 'edit', then in the next dialog you can select a logical volume and choose edit to actually edit the settings or create a new logical volume. Isn't there a slight potential for intuitivity improvement? ;-) Otherwise, the install went along smoothly, apart from the garbled mouse pointer. Looks promising! Frode Petersen

Re: Rpmfusion not showing in yum.repos

Jeff Spaleta — 2008-12-04T00:03:15

You have old rpmfusion release files AND you the livna entries in your repolist. This is probably a problem. Just to be sure rpm -ql rpmfusion-free-release and see if the list files match up to what you have. Easiest thing to do... remove those rpmfusion release rpms.. and any livna rpms or repository definitions you have...go to the rpmfusion mainpage and install the latest release rpms. -jef

Weather icons missing in GNOME clock applet

Matthew Saltzman — 2008-12-03T23:17:57

I have a fresh F10 install. I have the clock applet preferences set to show weather and temperature, but neither shows up on the taskbar. There is space in the applet to show them, but it's empty. On another fresh F10 install, I do not have the same problem--the weather and temp show just fine. Any idea what I should look for to fix this? TIA.

F10 install - custom partitioning - no LVM logical volumes

Frode Petersen — 2008-12-03T23:10:10

Hi. I'm installing F10 (fresh) from the DVD. I have a tri-boot setup with Win+CentOS+F10. The CentOS and Fedora installs will share some physical LVM volumes, having some logical volumes in common and others for them selves. When setting up the partitioning of the disks in Anaconda (custom setup), I can't find a way to create new LV's on an existing PV. Is this supposed to be like that, or am I missing something? Couldn't find this in the release notes. (I created the LV's I need in CentOS, so I have a workaround; about to start the install again.) Frode Petersen

Fedora 10 X Problem

Usman S. Ansari — 2008-12-03T22:27:37

I installed (not upgraded, previously it had FC 6 & no problems) FC 10 on my machine few days ago. I am running into couple of issues. First one is, after few hours of work, X start to take long time to update (20-30 seconds or in some case minutes and some time for ever). This happens when I move from one desktop to another or move or resize terminal. I have been rebooting computer / restarting X to atleast be able to continue to work. This is very annoying as I have several terminals and other stuff open during the course of day. My machine: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] Acer 24 inch monitor (AL2416W) Please let me know if you need more details and how to fix this issue. Also, as I am typing this message the cursor has changed its shape, after recent update (Dec 3rd). Usman

Disable x86PAT at Boot Time

2008-12-03T21:59:11

Before I try FC10 again, I have been futzing with vanilla kernels and find that the source of my aggravation is x86PAT. The symptoms are that the kernel will only boot if urged on by pressing the Enter key. Anyway, does anyone know the correct kernel command line option to disable? "The Google" provides no clues. Thanks

Re: F10: KDE and second display not working

Linuxguy123 — 2008-12-03T18:56:26

I have 2 displays working with KDE4.1.3 in F10. I set them up with nvidia-settings. Make sure you run it as root so you can save the resulting xorg.conf file. And you have to reboot in order for the settings to take place. Apply doesn't set them properly. On Wed, 2008-12-03 at 17:49 +0100, Tarjei Knapstad wrote:
