K3b 2.0 RC4 released
by Markus 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi there. I'd like to inform you that K3b received a new bugfix release: http://sf.net/projects/k3b/files/k3b/1.93.0rc4/k3b-1.93.0rc4.tar.bz2/downlo… It includes no new features compared to the previous Release Candidates for 2.0. Distributors shipping an older 2.0 pre-release are encouraged to ship this update through their regular update channels especially as it fixes also crash bugs. If you uncover bugs and happen to have the manpower to also fix them, please commit those fixes to K3b's newly created stable branch http://websvn.kde.org/branches/k3b/2.0/ and please port them to trunk (to become K3b 2.1) http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/multimedia/k3b/ as well. Bye, Markus

yum update failure with kde packages

Fwd: In praise of Windows
by John Aldrich 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

I thought I'd forward this here for discussion as it seems to be more "on- topic" here than in the regular Fedora Users' list. :-) I think the OP has some good points. That being said, I don't use NM much, once I've got a system configured. On the other hand, I think that something akin to the classic Windows XP "Control Panel" interface is a bit more "intuitive" at least for those of us who have to use/support Windows on a regular basis. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: In praise of Windows Date: Fri June 11 2010, 8:59:03 am From: Timothy Murphy <gayleard(a)eircom.net> To: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Am I alone in finding the old (classic) Windows XP control panel greatly superior to the KDE analogue? I find Windows' My Computer much better than any Fedora counterpart, too. The network interface through the "Connect to" icon is also more intelligible than the NM interface, in my view. On the whole I find Fedora/KDE much pleasanter to use than Windows, which I suppose I use about 5% of the time. In particular I find if something goes wrong in Windows it is far more difficult to correct. But there are several features where Windows wins, as I have suggested. I hope the Fedora/KDE developers look carefully at Windows, to see what they can steal. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines -----------------------------------------

Thoughts on floppy disks
by Timothy Murphy 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

I was recently following the advice in the Fedora-13 Installation Guide to setup a pxeboot server, and it recommended that one should read the syslinux documentation in /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.84/syslinux.txt . (Actually, the Guide says syslinux.doc , but that seems to be a typo.) In any case, this document, which is dated 1994-2009, seems to be entirely concerned with "CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX FLOPPY". There are several other places in the Fedora-13 documentation where I have come across mention of floppy disks. (And several Linux programs spend time looking for /dev/fd0 .) Do floppy disks still exist? Are computers with floppy drives still being made? It seems to me that as an absolute minimum any documentation mentioning floppy drives should at least explain how CDs can be used to the same end. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

amarok not working in 4.5

Hi, I cannot get amarok to start since upgrading to 4.4.80 (not with 4.4.85 either). See buttom part of email for error messages. It does not seem to be related to the dbus updates as I tried to downgrade. I have tried switching Phonon backends, without success. Has anybody else seen this? perhaps found a workaround?

Device Notifier misidentifies iPhone
by Patrick O'Callaghan 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

On plugging in my iPhone 3GS, dmesg gives me: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=1294 usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1: Product: iPhone usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Apple Inc. usb 1-1: SerialNumber: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Furthermore, under VirtualBox I can access the phone, synch it etc. The VBox USB pop-up also identifies it as an "Apple iPhone". However the Device Notifier pop-up says it a Sony DCR-SR75, which I think is a digital camera (the only menu option is "Download Photos with Digikam"). Clearly some database somewhere is corrupt, but where? poc
