CUPs and Samsung ML2250 printer
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Not sure what the problem is here, so I'm open to suggestions.
When I print to my ML2250 (picked up and configured automatically by s-c-p and
hal), I have to hit the print button twice. Once doesn't cut it, but twice does.
Any ideas?
Supplemental bonus question...
If a print job goes wrong and I restart the printer, all I get is page after
page of either nothing or rubbish (random characters). Clearing the print jobs
via 127.0.0.1:631 and pulling the plug on the printer do nothing; it carries
on printing rubbish. The only way to reset things correctly is to restart the
machine.
Any ideas for this as well?
TTFN

My experiences with F9-Beta
by Joachim Backes
Hi,
I tried to install F9-Beta
1. on a real partition of my 2 processor machine (AMD64) with the x86_64 DVD
2. inside of a vmware-server machine with the i386 DVD
In both cases, the installation failed after some packages had been installed. Anaconda wrote a
traceback.

kernel-libre (hopefully 100% Free) for Fedora 8 and rawhide
by Alexandre Oliva
Hi,
I've stripped non-Free firmware bits from Fedora kernels for F8 and
rawhide, starting from tools developed by the gNewSense folks and now
in use by BLAG developers, and built alternate kernels that I've
successfully booted up and used on my x86_64 notebook.
You'd be surprised at how little it takes to get to a Free Software
kernel. It's just a few drivers that need firmware removed.
Nevertheless, I may have tentatively removed too much, and I'd
appreciate if someone would defend some of the bits I removed to be on
the safe (freedom-wise) side.
The first experimental kernels should be landing at
http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/snapshots/kernel-libre soon. The
version for Fedora 8 is based on 2.6.24.3-51 (one SCSI patch on top of
the just-released 2.6.24.3-50). The version for devel is based on
2.6.25-0.139.rc6.git5 in CVS.
Once I get some positive feedback and I'm happy with this arrangement,
I'll figure out how to track and number kernel-libre such that the
version it's based on becomes entirely obvious, and then I'll submit
it for integration into Fedora proper. I realize it's a bit late for
Fedora 9, but if it can be added to CVS, this will already make things
much easier. And then, once it's in CVS, and considering that it
doesn't add features (if anything, it removes features, unless you
count the possibility of 100% freedom as a feature, like me :-), maybe
it could go into Fedora 9, and maybe even Fedora 8.
Have fun, and please send feedback my way. If you respond to the
list, please Cc: me such that I don't miss the answers in all the
traffic of this list. Private replies are fine as well.
Thanks,

Plan for tomorrows (20080403) FESCO meeting
by Brian Pepple
Please find below the list of topics that are likely to come up in the
next FESCo meeting that is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday at 17:00 UTC
in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.org:
/topic FESCo meeting -- Any objection to this week's report from FPC at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-April/msg00231.html
/topic FESCo-Meeting -- Final Release Schedule (Slip in conjunction w/
latest beta slip?) - all
/topic FESCo-Meeting -- Features Completion -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/FeatureList - poelcat
/topic FESCo meeting -- Free discussion around Fedora
You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to
this mail and I'll add it to the schedule. You can also propose topics
in the meeting while it is in the "Free discussion around Fedora" phase.
If your name/nick is on above list please update the status on the
Extras schedule pages in the wiki ahead of the meeting. That way all the
other FESCo members and interested contributors know what up ahead of
the meeting. And we will avoid long delays in the meeting -- those often
arise if someone describes the recent happenings on a topic directly in
the meeting while all the others have to wait for his slow typing...
Later,
/B

It sounds cool. You would definitely want to filter what is going to
be synced though. Because of using things like VMware on Windows puts
all your VMs in My Documents\My Virtual Machines\ a user could use up
a ton of disk space replicating it.
One of the "Other" things to sync though would be Bookmarks and other
configuration items. Essentially making the Fedora an upgrade to any
Windows installation.
--Joe
Certainly, the idea to sync the Bookmarks would be great!
But I would like to know what the "Other Configuration Items" would be..??

Feature or bug? (strange?) yum behaviour
by Mark
Hey,
I was just about to install gimp or so i thought.
I didn't look in Applications -> Graphics to see if gimp was already
there. This time it was but i found that out after i did: yum -y
install gimp.
Now for the feature or bug in yum.
When you have a application installed and then yum: yum -y install
gimp then yum first needs to download updates of it's repository.. do
something else and than it simply tells me: Package
2:gimp-2.4.5-1.fc9.i386 already installed and latest version
But wouldn't it be best if yum FIRST checks if the package is already
installed and if it is then ask the user to check for updates?
I know i can use rpm -qi gimp to see if i get information or nothing
indicating it's installed or not but having this in yum before it does
anything would be nice.

Can't build wireshark for F-9

Spin SIG
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
There's now a Special Interest Group (SIG) for Fedora Community Spins.
From the initial proposal by Jef Spaleta[1], here's what the SIG's
responsibilities are:
--
The purpose of the Spin SIG is oversee the development of an evolving
set of technical best practices to be applied to all community spin
concepts. The Spin SIG will also oversee the continued maintenance of
approved community spins in the Kickstart Pool, and will regulate the
use of any infrastructure as it becomes available for use for the Spins
SIG. For example webspace at spins.fedoraproject.org will be made
available for spin descriptions and links to externally hosted binaries.
New spin concepts first come to the Spins SIG for discussion and
technical review. Once the Spins SIG comes to a consensus as to
technical merit of a proposed spin, that spin concept is passed to the
Board for trademark approval.
--
I'm volunteering to get this show on the road. If you have interest in a
Fedora Community Spin, whether it be an existing, new or localized
version, sign up[2] and/or attend the first meeting Tuesday April 8th,
21:00 UTC, in the #fedora-meeting channel on the FreeNode IRC Network.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
