gdm Question
by Robert McBroom
I have an F8 system that lists "hsqldb" as one of the users on the login
screen. The system is not connected to the internet and I am the only one
with access. The hsqldb rpm is installed. I see it as an entry in
system-config-users but can't figure out why.

cups 1.3.6-2 printer no longer prints
by Frank Cox
After running "yum update" last night and getting, among other things, an
update to the above version of cups, one of my printers no longer works.
I have a Samsung ML-1210 connected via the parallel port to a machine running
F8/x86_64. After the update, I can no longer get anything to print.
Going through system-config-printer and hitting "print test page" brings up a
window that say s"Submitted Test page submitted as job 79" (the number
increments every time) but nothing prints and the busy light on the printer
never starts flashing so it apparently receives no data. The button changes
from "print test page" to "Cancel tests" when I close the "submitted" window, so
I click that, and that's all there is to that. The "Printer state" line on the
screen never changes from "idle".
Going through http://localhost:631 and printing a test page from there says
that the test page was sent, but when I check the list of jobs there are "no
jobs" and the printer never does anything at all there either.
I have removed and reinstalled the ML-1210 printer several times through
system-config-printer but nothing changes. I have switched the printer off and
back on, and even rebooted the whole computer a couple of times.
Here is what I get in /var/log/cups/error.log when I click the "print test
page" button in system-config-printer:

[F8 i386] Drive mount locations change at startup.
by Scott Beamer
I've got 4 internal and two external hard drives.
Every time I boot and log in I find at least one of my internal drives
mounts in a different directory than it had previously (the others may
as well, but I've not yet noticed - read on).
It's never the same directory (it's either "/media/disk"
"/media/disk-1", or "/media/disk-2" or "/media/disk-3").
I've got a symlink from a directory in ~/ to a subdirectory on one of my
internal drives and it breaks with every boot.
Is this a bug or a feature? ;)
How might I get my drives to mount in the same place every time?
Thanks.

OT: Something better than kino?
by Dotan Cohen
A new Fedora user asked about a replacement for "Sony Vegas Studio 8".
I suggested to him Kino, but apparently Kino is "to simple". Is there
anything better out there? Thanks in advance.

google mail and thunderbird -
by Bob Goodwin
My ISP, Wildblue.net, has switched all their e-mail accounts to "gmail."
I am accustomed to having all my mail neatly sorted into directories
with Thunderbird mail.
Suddenly I have almost 800 messages dumped into one list broken into
pages of fifty lines. I found a rudimentary filter system but it
doesn't appear to sort my mail into directories as I am accustomed to?
Or I may be missing something ...
Can someone tell me how to deal with this mess? At least point me in
the right direction. I am still in shock and not sure what to do next!

F7 to F8 upgrade - gnome-terminal font not so sharp now
by Chris G
I have just installed Fedora 8 as a replacement for my Fedora 7
system, it went amazingly smoothly. I still have a working F7
istallation in parallel with the F8 one while I copy configuration
etc. across.
It seems to me that the font I use in gnome-terminal is slightly
fuzzier looking in F8 than it was in F7, have I lost anti-aliasing or
something like that maybe? How can I tell?

Segmentation fault at malloc.c:4232

hi,
I have written a program and it failed with "Segmentation fault". With
gdb, it seems that there is something wrong in the malloc.c:

Yum packages (again)
by Da Rock
Ok, I know a little of this has been covered before, but I have some new
info after some exhaustive debugging.
After the feedback regarding the repo conflicts, I decided to resolve
this once and for all. I uninstalled all mplayer, x264 and xine
packages, and reinstalled only the livna versions.
This produced mixed results. Firstly, Yum reported the packages
installed. When you go back and check what is installed (version, etc)
it stated that the freshrpms versions were installed- but only some. So
I ended up with some livna and some freshrpms, despite the fact that I
selected only livna packages to be installed.
So I uninstalled it all again. This time I went to the livna site and
downloaded and installed them manually. Now it came up and said
installed, but some codecs weren't installing due to a missing
libx264.so.56. I checked again what was installed and what provided
x264- livna was installed.
This seemed very confusing to me, so I physically checked the contents
of the rpm. The livna package did contain the library file
libx264.so.56- so why didn't the livna package repo recognise its own
files?
I also checked the freshrpms version, and this contained libx264.so.58.
Technically then, Yum shouldn't be declaring that libx264.so.56 is
contained in the freshrpms file, and the 2 versions shouldn't conflict,
should they?
So I put it to all- what the hell is going on here? Neither repo appears
to be able to declare what the packages ACTUALLY provide, and Yum is
getting very confused. So who's fault is it? Where does the
responsibility lie?
