Thanks, Jef. I wasn't sure of the model b/c I'm at work and I can't seem to
retain these types of details in my head. ;-) However, I just confirmed with
her that it's a Z22. So...looks like my best chance is if the lexmark drivers
actually work. I won't hold my breath. Thanks again for the pointers!

FC2 printer question.
by Robert Cahn
I'm trying to configure an old Canon bj-200ex printer. When I use system-config-printer and
specify Locally-connected printer the ap can't see the printer which is attached to the parallel
port. Eventually I specify /dev/lp0 (or /dev/parport0) by handand continue with the installation but
I'm unable to print to the printer. Is there any way of testing that the port is working at
a very low level before I spend more time with the installation? I tried cat fil.nam >/dev/lp0 but
that didn't work.

evolution 2 doesn't highlight the strings in the search results
by Tino Meinen
Just to check if it's my setup or not.
Does anyone see this behaviour?
In Evolution
Search the body contents of messages for a string.
In the messages containing the string, the string used to be highlighted
in purple (evolution 1.4.x), but in evo2 I don't see them highlighted
anymore.
I'll file a bug if anybody confirms

yum 2.1.4-1 broken?
by Robert Couture
Hello ... (Hi Seth! <g>)
I am having a lot of trouble with 2.1.4-1. They are varied and wide
ranging.
For example, I have the stock yum.conf and it will proceed with
downloading a header while resolving a dependancy, get to 100% then
error out with:
[Commandline used: yum -d7 --exclude=libbon* update] (The exclude is to
exclude the borked libbonoboui with the wrong sized toolbar buttons)
Resolving Dependencies
1096727887.4
rhythmbox-0.8.7-2.i386.rp 100% |=========================| 33 kB
00:00
Error: failure: Fedora/RPMS/rhythmbox-0.8.7-2.i386.rpm from development:
[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
If it has reached 100%, why would it try another mirror?
Also, this version is downloading one header at a time, and exiting
without a message. (Er, some of the time.)

1096728021.04
rhythmbox-0.8.7-2.i386.rp 100% |=========================| 33 kB

It is not productive to have it exiting on _every_ header :-)
I backed up to 2.1.3-1 for an update and it installed all the rpm's and
failed to do any of the post-install stuff. (That has me concerned.)
It just stopped. Left it for about a half hour sitting there with
nothing happening.)
Thanks for your time :)

rsync not running as daemon
by Thomas J. Baker
After todays (20041004) updates, rsync won't run in daemon mode anymore.
It seems to exit immediately. I have an rsync daemon set up via xinetd.
Unfortunately, reverting to the older rsync package doesn't fix the
problem. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks for your help. I just mimiced that rule out of the existing
rules file without a real understanding
of how it formulates things. I was just surprised not to find any
parport rules in there.
I will try loading the ppdev module explicitly.

I had made my user account a member of the lp group anticipating this
... didn't work. I have no /dev/parport*
... I do have a few /dev/par* though.
I just wanted to find a way that my parport device would persist between
reboots. Maybe the modprobe ppdev
will do the trick.

It wasn't. Tonight, I will reconfirm that permission changes are not
being applied with a second
udevstart while udevd is already running (and that I am going about it
the right way),
and enter it into bugzilla if it is not already there.
Thanks.

Rawhide on a Dell CPi300DX working - some notes and a Thank You
by G.Wolfe Woodbury
First, THANKS for putting XFCE in the install options!
Installing rawhide of 2004-10-02 on my Dell CPi300DX is working just
fine. Prior to 2004-10-01 there were problems with the pcmcia ethernet
card that prevented FC3tX from working.
As for the screen not wanting to go above 800x600, that's just a memory
limitation. Reducing to 16bpp let me get full screen size.
Good job by the FC3tX team for making this machine useable again.

Graphical Grub
by Christopher Cornelius
Hello Community.
Can anyone tell me if there is a graphical way to alter the boot
configuration once Fedora is installed? Perhaps a "graphical" grub.
I'm not good with command-line applications yet.
Thanks

Udev and fstab - beginners question
by malcolm
Since this is my home PC I want anyone to be able to mount usb-mp3
players, DVDs, CDRW etc. I used to do this by just bunging 'users' in
the fstab options. Now something ( udev or whatever ) overwrites it on
every boot and then I get the message 'only root can mount etc etc' -
How do I make it so that everyone and their dog can mount anything.
