Faint hope : new printer drivers in FC5?
by Beartooth
Fool that I was, I bought a printer on someone's recommendation, without
thinking to check whether it worked with linux. It's a Lexmark X1185 --
which didn't then, and still doesn't afaict: linuxprinting finds no driver
for it.
So will there be any new printer drivers in FC5 that are not yet generally
available on linuxprinting? If so, is there a list I can check mine
against?
Fwiw, I've been running an XP machine, just for topo maps and GPS stuff;
but it's beginning to look like CrossoverOffice 5.0 (CXO) will be able to
handle at least the most important (to me) of the proprietary suites of
GPS/topo software that I have, Maptech and Garmin. But, I'm told on the
CXO list, neither wine nor CXO can handle any printer that linux can't
already run.
So, if I take to running a clean OS on what is now the XP machine, will
that mean I have one more bulky paperweight sitting around? Or is there
hope with FC5 once I update to that?

Mounting pen-drives
by Anne Wilson
Three systems using FC4, all kept up to date. Initially, all three
auto-mounted pen-drives, with a pop-up asking whether to open a file manager
window. Now this only happens in one of them. The drives have to be
manually mounted in the other two.
Clearly something has been changed in two of them, but I don't recall doing
anything that would affect this. Can ayone tell me what it is that sets this
behaviour, and where it can be changed?
Thanks

Sorry for top posting but I'm stuck with Lotus Notes at work...anyway,
Do you have SELinux enabled? Depending on the context settings you have
set in SELinux can really lock down a service. Try disabling it if you
have it enabled.

I haven't used proftpd for a while. Does it have any security
options (like not running as root or living in a chroot jail)
that would keep it from reading your shadow password file?
And out of curiosity, why are you using it instead of vsftpd?

ProFTP login horror
by korgull
Hi,
I've set up the server and it is running, but when I try to login I get "530
Login incorrect".
It's like it doesn't know the password of the user that tries to login, but
authentication is done by PAM and it's a normal user that is known on the
system who's trying to login.
I expect proFTP to use the same username/password in this case, or is my
expectation wrong ?
Any hints to what I might have done wrong/forgotten in my setup ?
Regards,
Marcel

Screensavers - Removing
by Analogkid
Is it possible to remove a specific screensaver? There are just a
couple which I prefer not to have, or which my vid card doesn't
display very well.
Do I need to edit a config file? Or can I rm the program itself? If
they can be removed, where are they stored?
Thank you
Pete

Suspend and shutdown
by Uno Engborg
In FC5T3 all users have the menus "Shut down..." and "Suspend" in their
Gnome "Desktop" menu, and if they select it the shutdown or suspend
happens without asking the user for
a root password.
This is awful in multi user environments, or when remote desktops are used.
Is there some easy way of turning this off?
Is this the default Gnome 2.14 behavior?
At the very least the user shoould be prompted for a root or even better
a sudo password before he is allowed to do this. It also creates far
too many menu items in the Desktop menu that are very similar. The old
FC4 way of doing this was much better from a usability perspective.

ATI Questions...again
by Nathaniel Stickney
All,
I hate to bring up ATI again, but I recently switched to Fedora 4 from SuSE
and I have not been able to get my card working (read: DRI enabled) again. I
am running an ATI Radeon 9800XT with an ABIT NF7-S motherboard (nforce2
chipset). I run FVWM as opposed to gnome or KDE but this should not affect
DRI, should it? I have installed the newest proprietary ATI driver (8.22.5)
now that it includes 2.6.15 kernel support, but still nothing.
# uname -a outputs: Linux Elijah 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 #1 ...
# fglrxinfo gives the following:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on dispaly ":0.0".
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGl renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)
Any ideas? Thanks.
