Hi All;
Is there a way in KDE4 / Fedora9 to set a different desktop background
image for each virtual desktop (pager desktops) ?
Thanks in advance

Java plugin stopped working.
by Steve Blackwell
I'm using 2.22.2 of ephipany and my java plugin seems to have stopped working presumably as a result of a recent update (nspluginwrapper-1.1.2.2.fc9.x86_64?).
If I go to this site:
http://www.javatester.org/index.html
then select the Java Version tab, it says "Browser has Java disabled" . On the privacy tab of the Prefereces option from the Edit menu in Ephipany I see that I have both Java and Javascript enabled.
If I go to the Javascript tab of the above site, it tells me that java scrip is working and that I have Javascript version 1.8 and Firefox version 3.0.
# rpm -qa | grep java
java_cup-0.10-0.k.6jpp.2.x86_64
tzdata-java-2008i-1.fc9.noarch

# java -versionjava version "1.6.0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b09)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0-b09, mixed mode)
Any hints? Do I need to install Sun's java?

Oracle 11g1 on Fedora 9
by Fred Silsbee
success!!!!
....don't depend on any of the internet instructions on how to do this install
all are missing information critical to the install
better to:
otn.oracle.com
look for the forum and see the recent threads I've posted and the answers I've gotten (wow did I learn a lot)
There are even false/missing instructions given even on the Oracle website!

Firefox not opening from Thunderbird links: error launching default action command
by R. G. Newbury
Firefox 3 was hanging on certain websites. I downgraded to Fedora 2.0.17
. Now when I click on a link in a Thunderbird email I get a box with the
error message:
Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action
command associated with this location.
Can anyone tell me how/where to fix the 'default action command'?

SANE Support in Fedora 9 for HP
by Jeff Maxwell
I have a very old HP OfficeJet 630 parallel port multifunction
printer/scanner/fax machine.
Prior to Fedora 9, I had no problems with xsane/sane recognizing the
scanner function.
After installing Fedora 9 and going to the Software Add to include the
HP support for sane, xsane still can not find my device.
I have installed it as a printer without any issues.

selinux question(s) (/home really = /n/home..)
by Matt Nicholson
So, I have an environment, where we pull user data/auth from ldap/kerberos
for a bunch of fedora workstations. I would love to have selinux turned on
on these, but, right now it jsut doesn't work with our setup.
See, your users home directories are in a few different places. for the most
part, LDAP think their home is at /n/home, or /n/data/home. So, i have /home
bind mounted to those locations, and, sith selinux off, its all nice and
happy. Another weird thing, is that /home is local on these workstations, so
when a user sits at a workstation for the first time, an empty homedir must
be created. We hope to move to nfs /home soon, but not yet.
once i turn it on, however, users cannot log in, and the home directoies
cannot be created. I get selinux messages like:
Summary:
SELinux is preventing sshd (sshd_t) "create" to ./nichols2 (home_root_t).
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by sshd. It is not expected that this access
is
required by sshd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to
restore
the default system file context for ./nichols2,
restorecon -v './nichols2'
If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this
access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see
FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can
disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Thats for an ssh login attempt. I get the same for one via GDM. I've tried
adding "context=system_r:object_r:home_root_t" when i bind mount the /home
on /n/home etc, and no luck so far. do I need to relabel /n ? what/how
should I? any help would be awesome.
Thanks,

A New fedora user question
by VAFA KHALIGHI
I just started to use fedora 9 (Gnome Desktop) which seems to be much better
than my previous Linux distribution. I just had a few questions and would
appreciate if you c
1- I installed the adobe flash player, but when I explore some intenet pages
which require flash player, it says missing flash player. Any one knows how
can I resolve this problem?
2- can anybody please tell me how to download and install latest nvida
driver for my computer?
3- I tried to install TeXlive 2008. so after doing perl install-tl, it gave
the following:
TeXLive::TLUtils::setup_programs failed at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line
1057.
wget --version failed (status 32512): No such file or directory
Output is:
Can't exec "wget": No such file or directory at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm
line 1060.
Couldn't set up the necessary programs.
Cannot continue with installation.
Please report to texlive(a)tug.org.
Can you please help me.

I did fallow the instructions but I could not find the file "wl.ko" in
which directory should be? I also noted some error listed during the
processing, here is all the steps that I went through and various
messages maybe you can detect what I miss or did wrong.
thank you.
