Transfering files to a Samsung Galaxy III
by Robert Moskowitz
I just got a Galaxy for my corporate phone. No instructions; Samsung
GUI is taking a lot to learn, coming from a BB and Gnome! My first touch
screen...
Anyway, I have mp4 lessons on this system that I would want to view on
the Galaxy. Is there any 'eazy' way to do this? I plug the Galaxy into
my notebook and it only goes into charging mode.

Fitbit on Fedora via Wine?
by Robert Moskowitz
Has anyone tried the Fitbit application on Fedora via Wine?
It uses Bluetooth to sync up then some port or other to communicate with
hosting app.
I got the Fitbit zip as an accessory for my Galaxy, only to find out
that the Android app is not ready yet!
I currently don't have Wine installed, but this COULD be an incentive to
do that...

where is gamma4scanimage?
by Frédéric Bron
scanimage should come with gamma4scanimage but it does not.
yum provides gamma4scanimage and yum search gamma4scanimage give nothing.
Where can I find gamma4scanimage for F17?

Search function will not find recent files
by Robert Moskowitz
The search function on the windows screen? only finds apps, not also
recent files. In my old f16 install this worked fine. Of course I had
so many Gnome extensions that I could no longer tell what was original
and what was extended.
So here on f17, how do I get the search to also search on recent files?

automatic helpers which really suck!
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I installed f-17 and wanted to set my mail with thunderbird.
New account, name, mail address, smtp.... *immediately* thunderbird
helper goes on the web to check my email server and don't find it! Why?
I really don't know: this mail address and server has been in service
for years now (and I'm using it to send this mail).... I can ping it, I
can dig it...
And now, I am stuck: I cannot have my mail because thunderbird try to
help me, as if I was so stupid that I cannot know my own email address!
I really don't understand what is the goal of this kind of help, even if
I make a mistake while I give my emeil server address, doomsday won't come!
The result is: I cannot configure my mail because someone has thought
that this automatic check will help people. Stupid!
Regards

Epson Stylus SX525WD: scanner resolution can only be 75, 300, 1200 and 2400
by Frédéric Bron
I have F17 installed (3.6.9-2.fc17.x86_64).
I installed the Epson driver for my printer from http://download.ebz.epson.net/:
yum install epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series-1.0.1-1lsb3.2.rpm
yum install iscan-data-1.15.0-1.noarch.rpm
yum install iscan-2.28.1-3.ltdl7.rpm
1. the scanner works only on a USB2 port, not on a USB3 port, why?
2. with xsane, I have access to the following resolutions only: 75,
150 300, 600, 1200, 2400, with scanimage: 75, 300, 1200, 2400.
Why is it not the same list?
How can I have access to more values as with the Windows tool where I
could select whatever value I wanted?

f17 NM stopped registering with DNS
by Neal Becker
I've been using f17 wired enet at work, and it's worked for a long time. Now
for some reason, my machine is not registering in DNS. I don't know if some
change to NM, or something changed in our corp net (which I don't control).
Any ideas? Ways to debug?
Thanks
