Is printing a desktop issue?
by tony 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

Printing in FC3 is in considerable worse state than in FC1. Eggcups is well named because it is as fragile as eggs... How does one cancel a print job. Right click cancel = application crash. A new "feature" of my Epson stylus photo 1290 is not printing to the end of job. Printer sharing is on but the printer remains invisible to my Mac and W XP Pro computers. Where should I take these issues? Cheers Tony Grant

firewire hotplugging
by Florian Idelberger 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hi everybody, I'm running fc3 quite successful and am very happy with it. However, shortly after the fresh install firewire hotplugging started working, and I can't even mount my disks by hand because there is no /dev/sda<n> created. So I finally came around to look after it but without success so far, and this is what I get in my system log: > Jan 25 21:03:06 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-01:1023 > Jan 25 21:03:07 localhost kernel: ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 Any help much appreciated, Florian

Hello! I just about week ago installed my first GNU/Linux operating system and it was Feodora Core 3. I am glad i chose this one, everything is working properly and i have installed every application i needed, but only one thing left - Graphic drivers. *My graphic card - NVIDIA GeeForce MX 4000 64 MB I tried NVIDIA drivers i found on www.nvidia.com and it didn`t work out. I downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run and quited X desktop and run VIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run with sh command from bash with parameter kernel name and it started to install but i received error and when i booted X desktop and tried to run application that need graphical accelerate i recieved an error - Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual. I can`t find out a different way to install a drivers for my graphic card. Sorry if this is lame, but i just started to use GNU/Linux and i am newb still at this moment in Linux. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/ http://www.microlink.com/

How do I add a new window manager?
by John S. Yates, Jr. 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

I would like to play with WMI ( wmi.modprobe.de ). I have gotten it to build on amd64 and can launch it from the failsafe prompt. What do I have to do to make it an available session type?

the 'failsafe' session
by Bill Nottingham 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

So, this came up as a sidepoint in another bug. Say, you're a user, your mouse isn't working. You try and log into a failsafe session to fix it. You're now screwed because: a) if you start an app, it may not have focus b) there's no keysequence to change focus, unless you're an X guru Is this a situation we really care about? What do we expect people to use the failsafe session for, in practice? Bill

Thank you so much. Please remove that file, it's a left-over file from an automated process. rm -f '/usr/lib/libMagick.so.6.0.7.#prelink#.OLoyQ7' And 'man prelink' explains what prelinking is all about.
