help with missing font (Fedora 15)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi all,
I am missing a font (for a while) but I can not figure out what it is.
Basically, I get something like this on my help pages when using R.:
1 lm package:stats R

3 Fitting Linear Models

7 <80><98>lm<80><99> is used to fit linear models. It can be us
7 ed to carry out
8 regression, single stratum analysis of variance and analysis of
9 covariance (although <80><98>aov<80><99> may provide a more co
9 nvenient interface
10 for these).
11
.....
While the wrapping around of the line is problematic, I don't know how
to deal with this (it also happens with man pages, as in man gcc).

18 remainder. g++ accepts mostly the same options as gcc.
.......
Can I get rid of those line numbers? This did not happen for me
before, from what I recall.
I am using Fedora 15 with the LXDE spin. I don't recall having this
problem before Fedora 13. So, I think somewhere down the line, I lost
a font.
I have the following fonts installed? What am I missing? OR do I have
too much?

How to debug X lockup (advice from gurus wanted)
by Roberto Ragusa
Hi,
it sometimes happens to me that X completely locks up, while the
machine is still alive on the network.
This is on F14, untainted kernel, nouveau driver, no 3D used,
KDE desktop on a 32-bit machine with 8GiB RAM and PAE kernel.
It typically happens when something is going to be drawn on
the screen (a window pops up or virtual desktop change).
I would like to open a bug, but I'm not able to attach any kind
of usable log; dmesg says nothing, all I can say is that
the screen remains frozen (including the pointer), the X
server and the kernel keep doing some "SIG ALRM" stuff and
any attempt to access the X server stalls the command (xrandr
or xset, for example), in a Ctrl-C responsive way.
This is happening on different kernel revisions. This laptop
is perfectly stable and it sometimes takes a few weeks to show
the problem (using suspend during the night).
If I do a fresh reboot there is a high probability of a lockup
in a mater of minutes/hours.
Just as if there were lucky and unlucky reboots (important stuff
being placed in memory areas which is easily corrupted?).
Another data point: this laptop sometimes fails to suspend properly
(remains frozen). In any case the last frozen-X event happened
today before any attempt to suspend, so I can not blame the
BIOS and ACPI parts.
Any idea?

Brain fart: no format option on a pen drive pop-up menu?
by Fernando Cassia
Surely I'm missing something, but shouldn't there be an uption on the
right-click menu over a pen drive, to format the drive?. Can't find
it.
I go to Computer, select the KINGSTON device, right click, properties,
and I see the following tabs:
Basic, Emblems, Permissions, Open with, Notes
Nowhere is there any option to "format drive".
I know I can probaly just format it from Bash, but I'm curious of what
is the expected way to initiate a drive format from the Gnome GUI....
I'm using an ancient system with Fedora 10 here... uname -a
2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Thu Dec 10 11:00:29 EST 2009
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
FC
PS: The options available on the pop-up menu for the drive object are:
Open
Open with other application
Copy
Rename
Unmount volume

gpp on F15
by Aaron Konstam
A few days ago there was comment about problems with gpp
(gnome-photo-printer) on F15.
It works on my F15 as it did on my F14.

Sound from KVM guest
by Michael Eager
Hi --
I installed Windows 7 in a KVM virtual machine running on
Fedora 15. The guest is configured with an es1370 sound card.
Windows detected the sound device and installed drivers, but I
don't get any sound.
The same thing happens when configured with an ac97 sound device.
Any suggestions?

GNOME 2 on Fedora 15
by Dave Cross
I've tried GNOME 3 for a couple of months and I really don't like it[1].
Is there any way to go back to GNOME 2 on Fedora 15? Can I reuse the
F14 rpms? Or can I rebuild the F14 srpms on my F15 system?
Or perhaps someone else has already done this work and made GNOME 2
available for F15?
Cheers,
Dave...

Gnome 3 child process inheritance problems Number 2
by Robert McBroom
palimpsest doesn't ask for root password so while it runs it is useless.
Switching a terminal window to a root terminal with su -
Attempting to start any gui program gives a sequence-
----------------
There are multiple lines
No protocol specified
ending with
Display localhost:0.0 unavailable
The environment variable $DISPLAY in the child terminal session has
localhost:0.0
Tried variations on the DISPLAY setting :0.0, :0, localhost:0 but doesn't help.
Ideas?
New Data--
Starting a child terminal window with sudo allows gui programs to find the
display.
Child gui programs requiring privilege started directly with sudo work as well.
What would this be filed against in Bugzilla?

Continued kernel updates for F14?
by Christopher Svanefalk
Hey all,
for those of us who are a little reluctant about moving to Gnome3 just yet,
does anyone know if there are plans to release rpms of kernel versions later
than 2.6.35 for F14?
Best,
Chris
