New FC8 install: How to prevent auto-mounting???
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I use mc from a konsole to do my file browsing. I'm quite comfortable
with using mount & umount from the command line as needed. I really
dislike finding filesystems already mounted when I expressly set them up
with the noauto option in my /etc/fstab. How can I stop it from
happening?
I'd actually prefer a root command line solution that will
make it impossible for kde to turn automounting back on.
In case it matters, I boot to runlevel 3 and start kde via startx as
needed.

Re: How to fix error message (unable to Access Resume Device (Label=/dev/sdc5)
by Petrus de Calguarium
I am guessing that you either relabelled or reformatted your swap partition,
or are using a different swap partition than the one that was in effect when
you installed.
In case you haven't solved the problem, here is what I did to get rid of it:
/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23-currentversion.fc8.img
2.6.23-currentversion.fc8
The first argument is the name of the initrd image you want to create; the
second argument is the kernel you are currently running (uname -r will tell
you this).
This will create a new initrd for the kernel you specified above (in the
second argument) with the updated information.
A work-around, in case you don't care to recreate the initrd, is to put
resume=/dev/sdc5 on the boot line of grub.conf.
Hope this helps.

printk kernel messages??
by Brian Millett
Hello, I have a F8 laptop with the 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 kernel. I started having strange
printing problems (slow, stopping, printers going offline) and noticed MANY messages as:
Jan 31 11:28:18 dufus kernel: printk: 2 messages suppressed.
Jan 31 11:28:22 dufus kernel: printk: 1 messages suppressed.
Jan 31 11:28:28 dufus kernel: printk: 2 messages suppressed.
Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks.

Broadcom 43: FC7 vs FC8
by Michael D. Berger
On my Compaq dual boot laptop with FC7, I never
got my Broadcom 43 wifi to work despite applying
numerous suggestions received on this list. Are
there relevant improvements in FC8, or is it
best to wait for future developments?
Thanks for your advice.

ever see an HP 1018 laser Jet? why do print job disappear?
by Paul Johnson
Hello, Fedora users!
Does this problem remind you of anything?
In one of the Fedora 7 systems I administer, I've seen something very
strange with a new HP 1018 laser printer. We plug in the USB
connector, and dmesg output indicates the system sees the device. In
both system-config-printer and also in the CUPS configurator in the
browser, we see 3 lines showing the same printer. One refers to an HP
printer found by HAL, one refers to an HP printer on hpijs protocol,
the other refers to a USB device. I don't know why 3, but that is
par for the course. I see it with all CUPS HP printers, I think.
There is no HP1018 laser jet device driver in the HP list, but there
is 1015, which experience leads me to believe is close enough.
Here's the weird part. I configure the HP printer--using any of the 3
types that show as options ,and send jobs to the printer, and as far
as CUPS is concerned, they print. But there's no output from the
printer. In KDE, I've started the printer monitor, and I can see the
jobs pop up onto the print que, and they disappear. But they never
come out of the printer.
As I write this, I'm having a faint memory of something like this on
another HP printer. I think it was an HP1200 on which one lighted
button would flash but nothing would print until the button was
pressed. But I don't think I ever got to the bottom of that problem.
Do you suppose my best hope is to find the PPD file that the HP
windows driver supplies, and install that instead of choosing from the
list?

Ah, yes, the Linux guru. I suspect that there aren't too many gurus on
this list, just a lot of folks with various levels of experience.
Unless, of course, you work on the RedHat or Fedora distros. I just
hope I don't come off as big of a jerk as some of the deluded 'gurus' I
have seen on these lists. Including this one.

Shrug. You're still wrong.
The language specification says that your function definition:
def plus(a,b):
requires two arguments. You supplied ONLY ONE ("plus(3,)"). Unless you fix
that, the interpreter will never enter the function. If you want to think of
the function like a lambda you're applying the tuple (3,) to the "plus"
function. (3,) is a tuple with only one element. Python checks argument
lists.
Others have already suggested you pass two arguments or allow plus()
to accept one argument.
The thing that threw the error was your function call ("plus(3,)"),
and _not_ the function internal, which were never reached. So the
exception is correct.
Maybe you should post your "calculator" file, since I'm sure more is
going on than you've described. Using exec() is a lot like using eval()
in perl - exceptions will be caught by the wrapper; that may be your
trouble. In perl they land in $@, in python they're probably caught and
rethrown, hence the slightly surprising error line.
But without "calculator" we're all in the dark.
I've returned this discussion to the list where it belongs.
Cheers,

"device_rename: sysfs_create_symlink failed (-17)"
by Timothy Murphy
I have two access-points, on 2 home LANs.
I have set up two interfaces, eth1 and eth2, on my laptop,
using the same WiFi device and driver (orinoco_cs).
The theory is that if eth1 does not connect to AP1
then eth2 will connect to AP2.
This used to work, but as far as I can see
there has been a change in recent kernels
with the result that if the first connection fails,
the second always fails with the above error message
in /var/log/messages .
I googled for the error message,
and saw many postings,
but none that suggested any solution.
Any suggestions of a way round gratefully received.

Updates are Good Things(TM). It shows that Fedora developers are finding
and fixing bugs in an appropriate and timely fashion.
Granted, it's better to not have the bug in the first place, but the
people who write the software and those who maintain it in Fedora, and
those who use it are all just that: People. No one is perfect, and
nothing that anyone makes can therefore also be.
If fixing things quickly like this is "incompetant [sic] quality
control," I don't want to imagine what "proper" QC is...
