does Fedora need Google search logic?
by Valent Turkovic 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Package search has been bugging me for a long time now, I as an advanced user know exactly what I want and any package is just "yum install name" away, yes I still use yum and will continue to do so because I prefer yum over pkcon :) <rant> also pkcon is harder spell the phone line or skype (when dealing with new users), yum is easier to type even you are regular cli user, and yum is easier command to remember but never mind, back to topic at hand. </rant> For new users it is too hard to install package by searching because for any general search phrase and even for searches that are unique package names users get too many search results, and too often the top result is not what they are looking for. Too much information is not a good thing. This has been bugging me for months but haven't written anything about this because didn't see a solution until now. After looking at Suse Studio Screencast [1] it become obvious really fast whan needs to be done because they have done it in really elegant way. When doing a search in SUSE studio package search results are sorted by installation frequency. So packages which are most often installed are on top. SUSE guys have great example by searching for apache package. I repeated apache search on Fedora with yum, pkcon and with PackageKit GNOME GUI. The results are attached in this RFE, but you can see how search isn't usable if user doesn't know exactly that needs to be installed. Regular users won't go installing apache, this is just one example, but I had lots of similar situations in real life when I told some fedora users to just type name of package and to install it, but users got too many search results and got confused. I expect that only few packages will show and that main package will be first. We need some king of google logic that would sort package search results. Am I making any sense? Has something like this already in the works? Am I just wasting your time?

Thinkpad A22p/Improper Video on Install
by James McKenzie 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

I'm trying to install FC8 on my old, creaky Thinkpad A22p (ATI Rage Mobility Rage 3) and the video from the graphical installer is not correct. I get about 1/3 of the orginal screen, then 1/3 of the third 1/3 of screen followed by that 1/3 again. If I use the text installer, X will not start when running the first time after installing.

firefox youtube cookie fix
by Frank Cox 22 Aug '10

22 Aug '10

I keep the "accept cookies from sites" option un-checked in my Firefox preferences and maintain a (short) list of websites that I allow cookies from. Even though I have "allow for session" set for www.youtube.com, it still comes up with "An error occurred" when I try to play a video. If I check "accept cookies from sites" and reload the page, it works even though no cookie that's not already on my whitelist shows up. Which is a pain because I have to change that setting, reload the page, watch the video and then remember to change the setting back to not accept cookies again. I just found the fix. www.youtube.com is already on my "accept for session" cookie exception list. Adding youtube.com (note no www in that) to that list manually (under Edit-Prefrences-Privacy-Exceptions) solves the problem.. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Printing problem on FC13
by Alex 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi, I've set up a printer entry for my Brother HL-5070N network printer, and when I print a test page it instead prints one page with "ERROR NAME; undefined COMMAND; -12345X@PJL OPERAND STACK", followed by pages and pages of blank paper until I turn off the printer. There is a choice of a number of print drivers, and I've tried a few of them, including ljet4, hl1250, and a ghostscript driver, and they all do the same thing. It hasn't worked since I installed FC13, but did work when I previously had Ubuntu and an older FC installed on this computer. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks, Alex

USB Printer Problem (still...)
by Smith, Herb 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

I haven't made any progress on getting my Xerox 6130 printer to work with F13. It's a fully updated F13 system on a Dell Dimension Desktop. The device manager see the Xerox printer on one of the usb ports and Fedora seems to have a driver for the printer, but the Add Printer process does not seem to recognize that the printer is there. Is there any way to determine the correct URI for the printer on the usb port? If so, I could manually configure the printer. The device manager does not give the URI for the thing, but it does see it as a Xerox 6130N printer. Thanks in advance Herb

Status of ESATA in F13 ?
by linux guy 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

I am wondering how ESATA devices are supposed to work in F13 these days. Does F13 support hot plugging of ESATA devices ? Are they only recognized at boot time ? Are they supported at all ? Thanks $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Jun 11 09:42:24 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Selinux beating up on Chromium
by Jim 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

FC13/KDE setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox "net_raw" access . For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 68797c25-9748-4ab8-b020-f63a80f543a7 I run the sealert -l 68797c25-9748-4ab8-b020-f63a80f543a7 and that doesn't stop error message. In about a hour and a half I get the same error message.

selinux throwing incomprehensible errors when trying to run GoogleEardh
by Claude Jones 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

It seems to be saying that the directory access requested requires labeling as usr_t, but its current type is usr_t -- it requires usr_t but it's currently labeled usr_t -- there appears to confusion here on the part of Selinux, no? I've tried applying the recommended fix, but the recommended fix just resets the labelling to what it already is, and I'm going round in circles Summary: SELinux is preventing /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin "execmod" access to /opt/google-earth/libIGGfx.so. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by /opt/google-earth/googleearth- bin. /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin is mislabeled. /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin default SELinux type is usr_t, but its current type is usr_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
