And now for a positive note.
by Aaron Konstam
I know with every new version of Fedora problems arise and I don't want
to minimize the importance of problems people are having with F12.
But again as with the installation of F11 the installation of F12 went
for me like a charm. Configurations of the system that used to have me
cursing and yelling (and I have installed probably 18-20 versions of
RedHat and Fedora) worked like a charm.
There is no doubt thinks are getting better.

Printing on F12
by Paolo Galtieri
I setup a remote lpd network attached printer using system-config-printer.
And it works ... sort of :-)
I print a file, e.g.
lp /etc/hosts
and I get as a response
request id is HP-LaserJet-2100-29 (1 file(s))
which is the lp print id. This file prints. On the other hand:
cd /var/www/html/css
lp php-test.css
returns
lp: successful-ok
This file does not print, nor does
lp /var/www/html/css/php-test.css
Other files in /var/www/html printed successfully.
I ran wireshark and in every case where I got "lp: successful-ok" I see no
traffic.
if I
cd ../js
lp ajax.js
Then I get
request id is HP-LaserJet-2100-33 (1 file(s))
Here are the file sizes:
[pgaltieri@peglaptop js]$ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 1041 2009-12-05 17:37 ajax.js
-rw-r--r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 2158 2009-12-05 17:45 dept.js
-rw-r--r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 542 2009-12-04 15:00 site.js
[pgaltieri@peglaptop js]$ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 601 2009-12-04 21:23 about-me.css
-rw-r--r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 506 2009-12-04 21:23 main.css
-rw-r--r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 835 2009-12-06 11:48 php-test.css
If I rename the file
cp about-me.css /tmp/XX
lp /tmp/XX
I get
request id is HP-LaserJet-2100-34 (1 file(s))
But it will not print any file that ends in .css. Is this expected
behavior? Why should lp care?
Any help is appreciated.

Tiff files frmo xsane arent usable in windows
by Joseph L. Casale
I scanned a sh!tload of docs and saved as tiff files, then scp'ed these across the wire
to another linux box that has a windows user who needs these images. Problem is, that
windows user, nor me on a windows box here can open these files?
Anyone know why, and if there is a batch image conversion I can do that wont affect the
quality on the remote lniux box so I don't have to re-upload all these files?
Thanks!

dd question, what am I doing wrong?
by Dan Thurman
I am copying a disk/partition to another disk/partition
using dd, with the following:
BEFORE:
Disk1: partition#1: psize=100G, size=97.65G, used=91.23G, unused=6.42G
Disk2: partition#1: psize=250G, size=244.14G (newly formatted)
I did a dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1
AFTER:
Disk1: partition#1: psize=100G, size=97.65G, used=91.23G, unused=6.42G
Disk2: partition#1: psize=250G, size=244.14G, used=237.72G, unused=6.42G
WTF...
Then I:
1) mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
2) cd /mnt/b
3) df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 97G 90G 1.6G 99% /mnt/b
4) umount /mnt
5) mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
6) cd /mnt
7) df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 97G 90G 1.6G 99% /mnt/b
8) Umount /mnt
Hmm... this is not what I expected... I had assumed that somehow
the free disk space would somehow be reclaimed...
What am I doing wrong here and how do I get around this?

I have the same problem. I think the problem is that qmmp-freeworld from
rpmfusion is the problem. That one should also be upgraded to version 0.3.1

su hangs for 30 seconds
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
As of a day or so ago "su" has started hanging for 30 seconds. So has
the lock screen. Jiggling the mouse unblanks the monitor and shows me
the backdrop picture but the password entry box doesn't appear for 30
seconds. I don't believe I mucked with anything PAM related, but there
were a few yum updates in the last few days. Is anyone else seeing
this?

GNOME notification; black background?
by Reid Rivenburgh
Hi. I'm currently using F12 and GNOME. When I upgraded to F12, I
noticed that the notification popups changed from being a popup with a
yellowish background in the lower-right corner to a popup with a black
background in the upper-right corner. I can deal with the location
change, but the black background makes it hard to read (to me). Is
there any way to customize that?
Thanks,
Reid
