Firefox 3.5.3 can only print to file.
by Keith Hunt 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Running F11 64-bit, with Firefox 3.5.3 64-bit. I'm no longer able to print to a printer from Firefox. The only option is print to file. Firefox does not show any of my defined printers, even though there are a number of lines in prefs.js related to my default printer. I'm not sure when this happened in relation to FF versions, as I guess I don't print web pages that often. I think it probably occurred sometime during the 3.5x updates. Other apps see the expected list of printers and are able to print to them. -- Keith

SWAT with -P option
by Arun Shrimali 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Dear All I am running Samba (3.41) with swat on Fedora 11 and both are working fine. Now I want my users to be able to change their password through web based application. I have tried many option but none of them working perfectly with the latest version of Samba. Finally, I zeroed down to SWAT, which is working perfectly for users to change their password, but I don't want to have "view" tab on their panel when they approach to change the password. This view tab gives the complete configuration file - how their account is configured. I found that "-P" option in SWAT can help me in this. Can any body help me how to configure this in SWAT. Regards Arun

Preventing ConsoleKit from interrupting audio when switching consoles.
by William F. Acker WB2FLW +1 303 722 7209 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi all, I use speech output for reading the screen. Currently, I'm using espeak compiled to use portaudio. Whenever I switch consoles, I have to wait a few seconds for audio output to resume. I understand that ConsoleKit is responsible for the delay while it figures out if I'm the same user and should be allowed to use the audio device. If anyone knows how to disable this behavior, or knows fore sure that ConsoleKit can't be configured to accomplish this, I'd really like to hear about it. With respect, what I don't need to hear about is how desirable folks think the current behavior is and how I should learn to love it too. Pulseaudio won't help either, until it can be made to run system-wide. TIA. -- Bill in Denver

in Gnome. The gnome system monitor can itself eat up 25% of one of my CPUs. So what are the alternatives to seeing CPU usage?

creating a new gnome terminal, running a command when the term starts...
by bruce 03 Oct '09

03 Oct '09

Hi. I'm trying to create/invoke a new gnome-terminal, were i start/run a script when the term starts up.. from the gnome-terminal docs, i'm assuming i can accomplish this by using the "-x/-e" attribute when i fire up gnome-terminal... this doesn't work... others appear to have the same issue... so, when i do: gnome-terminal -x "foo" a new gnome term is created, but it hangs without a bash prompt (or any prompt) created. so it appears that a useless blank term window is displayed. the "foo" script is simply an empty script for testing. it has the chgrp of 777 with a chown of 777 and a chmod of +x. in the fstab, there is a default devpts so the virtual dev for the term window should be ok.. i think. i'm running an older fedora 9 for this test. any pointers/thoughts... thanks...

enabling root over ssh on F11
by Aaron Gray 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

I need to enable root access via sshd. I will be using certificates and firewalled access. I tried remove the suffix " user != root quiet" from /etc/pam.d/gdm. Also added "PermitRootLogin yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Also put SELinux into Permissive mode. But still neither root sshd nor login work. Help, Aaron
