In FC1 I had a printer Icon in the panel. I dragged a document to it and it printed.
Where is that now?
TIA

It was discussed with the interaction design team here and not considered to be very valuable. The implementation was really ugly too. You should be able to print from the application launched by double- clicking on a file.

When I get a file from a client or I need a hardcopy of a PDF file I am very sorry it is very convenient to say to the application (which opens any way) "please print this file". The application opens the file, sends it to the printer then quits.
Mac OS X does this. That other OS does it.
It is a convenience issue. Convenience has value for me.
Seeing how FC3 treats DVB and lirc as well as desktop printing it looks like I'll be doing an upgrade to FC1 with a hand rolled kernel and xorg built from source.

Can you be more precise? What do you mean "say to the application"? Right-click on the file? Drag and drop the panel? Double-click and open the application for it? Something else?

By dragging the file to the desktop printer icon the application associated with the file type knows I want to print it. Your way is open application with double click on file, open print option in menu... I used Mac OS for many years, drag and drop desktop printing was considered progress when we got it. It is. I confirm.
Right-click on the file?
Right click was my first guess but no, no print option in Gnome.
Drag and drop the panel?
In FC1 there was a printer icon in the panel. Choose PDF file, drag to Icon and it printed. Not in FC3...
Double-click and open the application for it?
Sucks.
Something else?
Right click in Evolution would be really nice. But that is not FC3.

No, I watch satellite TV (the BBC) using VDR and the VDR-xine plugin.
FC1 = no problems. Install VDR, get xine source and patch with VDR-xine, make xine, make vdr. Install lirc, configure remote. Start VDR and xine, teach xine remote commands, watch TV. From day one after buying the DVB- S card to first evening of TV = 1 week.
FC3, third week? forgotten... No remote yet.
No udev script found so far works with DVB. I have to manually create devices. It took me one week to be able to watch TV again.
lirc is not working. At all. A PVR without remote is about as good as a... (almost got carried away...). I can't record shows to disk.
Dear Colin, tell me more about progress!
We are all working together towards a better desktop OS n'est pas? By going back to FC1 with a better X server and hardware support that works I can get on with what is most important: my life.
Shame, because what actually does still work in FC3 is faster, smoother, better looking.

It's a bit inconvenient that VDR stuff isn't quite on the agenda of Fedora Core... This means it worked better on FC1 probably because the 2.4 kernel wasn't as new as 2.6 is now. Quite a number of drivers still have to be ported over to 2.6 and I think this may be the case with you.

Hmm, I haven't tried my self-made serial LIRC receiver yet on FC3, but I'll give it a try.
No udev script found so far works with DVB. I have to manually create devices. It took me one week to be able to watch TV again.
That's what I meant with "have to be ported over to 2.6" -- these drivers at least need to implement sysfs support in order to be conforming to "how things are done on 2.6". When they announce their properties through /sys it should be half the rent needed for proper integration with hal and udev. David, Harald, smack me if I talk rubbish here ;-).
lirc is not working. At all. A PVR without remote is about as good as a... (almost got carried away...). I can't record shows to disk.
What LIRC device do you have? I think it should be possible to use the programs without a remote control, with keyboard and/or mouse, otherwise it's a bug in the respective application IMO ;-). I couldn't test DVB yet (no digital LNC until after we have moved), but this will affect me in the future so I'm interested in the whole topic.

I ran a hand rolled 2.6 kernel on FC1. I used the DVB drivers in the kernel.org kernel. My card is supported (skystar2)

We probably have the same. Built from howto on lirc site.

The 2.6 kernel DCB drivers gave me entire satisfaction. From memory I was running a hand rolled 2.6.9. No problems.

lirc_serial
kernel is patched with 0.7.0 lirc source/ I have /dev/lirc0 and run lircd with the -d option.
I am using the keyboard to watch TV. This sure stops me from zapping between channels from the living room couch...
Someone spoke of /etc/lirc/hardware.conf. I googled around and it seems to be a debian thing. In any case there is no mention in the lirc docs I have read.
As with the other problems I have with udev have been permission things. I am scratching through the tree checking and checking...
Thanks for your encouragement

If it is a Gnome thing fine! I'll go bug the Gnome folk. Your call. There seemed to be a bit of KDE in the old version from FC1 if my eyes didn't deceive me?

Sorry for the offtopic question. I like Fedora, and I plan to stick to it, but why does it so often feel that the Fedora devs just simply forget KDE? I too miss the easy printing functionality allowed in Windows, but I'm a KDE person...would there be any of such a printing addtion to KDE on Fedora? Or is this whole issue a desktop manager issue and not a distro issue.
And just incase you were wondering about my KDE / Fedora comment, I'd like to point attention to another such example: switching from GDM to KDM, I basically had to hack (using the term loosely) /etc/X11/prefdm script to get it to work.
Peace

Yes, it WORKSFORME.
And reviewing the prefdm , I can't seehow it's suppose to work at all.
My take on /usr/X11/prefdm is that it's pretty straightforward: ... # Run preferred X display manager preferred= if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/desktop if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then preferred=gdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then preferred=kdm elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then preferred=xdm fi fi ...

Post #7 had what you probably missed:
---------------- I've found that after changing /etc/sysconfig/desktop, if I do a [ctrl-alt-bksp] it won't change, but if I change the runlevel to 3 and then bacck to 5 (as in "init 3;init 5") it works perfectly. -------------------
Though, I'd recommend: /sbin/telinit 3; /sbin/telinit 5 instead.
Of course, rebooting works too.

Hello,
In fact, if you are trying to obtain the KDE desktop upon bootup instead of getting the Bluecurve desktop by default, all you need to do is go to /etc/sysconfig/desktop and where it says "Gnome" , change it to "KDE". You need root priviledges, though.

Honestly I wasn't tring to make this into an issue, cause I got it to work with a little help from LQ.org.....but Ithe point I was tring to brign forward is, maybe Fedora could pay a little more attention to KDE users. I could be wrong here becuase this happened since the beginning of FC2, but I did everything the tutorial I was flowing stated, to no avail. A little radiobutton in Anaconda to select primary desktop would be much apperiated.

Hello Arturo,
I certainly agree with you. It would be nice if the developers at Fedora Core could pay more attention to KDE within the distribution, especially at startup. I have used KDE since I started using Linux and wouldn't use anything else.

What follows is purely opinion formed while observing the development of Linux for many years. It does not necessarily represent the opinion of my employer, RH, SUSE, Linus Torvalds, Lee Iacocca, Vladmir Putin, or any other person, organization, or entity, living, non-living, or yet-to-live, besides myself.
My guess would be that it's one part strategic, one part historical. First, the history: RH has generally striven to ship only unencumbered software. When it ships anything else, it's usually because an alternative doesn't exist. If you go back many years, Qt used to be partially encumbered, thereby making KDE less than Free (per. FSF definition). The issue was resolved, but not before Gnome had gained momentum. Now we get to the strategic part. It takes time and money to maintain a polished desktop. RH has invested more into Gnome. SUSE has invested more in KDE. RH has taken alot of abuse over KDE, but in my opinion SUSE has historically done even worse with Gnome. (Hopefully this will change as Novell continues to integrate Novell, Ximian, and SUSE to form a single company.) Both RH and SUSE are commercial entities, they have to prioritise and allocate resources. Gentoo and Debian, both of which are mostly volunteer based, have done a decent job of packaging both desktops, only occasionally demonstrating a partial preference for one or the other. And that's the root of the problem. Companies are best off picking one general direction and sticking to it, volunteers can afford to explore the whole map.
Now we come to where you fit in. Because RH is welcoming volunteer support in the development of Fedora, you can help improve the quality of KDE support in Fedora. The more you do by testing, reporting bugs, and submitting patches, the more momentum KDE will have within the Fedora project.
Until then, don't be surprised if Gnome enjoys a favored status simply because more people developing and testing Fedora are using it. Some people get upset or make accusations, but resist the temptation. Just keep providing gentle reminders like you did in your message.

Well thanks for that. Honestly, I just wanted to know. This is not going to make me change to SUSE ( :) not yet at least ) or anything. If some information like this was posted on the http://fedora.redhat.com website that would make things alot clearer.
