Dell p513w with Fedora 16
by Dave Cross
My new Dell laptop came with a free Dell p513w printer. I've been
trying to set it up for use with Fedora 16.
It's a wireless printer, so I've set it up, connected it to my network
and got it working using a Windows PC. My Fedora desktop can see it on
the next work, but it appears that foomatic doesn't have a PPD for
this model of printer, so I've been scouring the internet.
This README file
(http://downloads.dell.com/printer/R247660_Readme.txt) talks about a
file called dell-inkjet-09-driver-1.0-1.i386.rpm.sh.tar.gz which
installs a bunch of PPDs for Dell printers in
/usr/dellinkjet/dell09/etc/. The list includes dlP513w.ppd, which is
the PPD for my printer. However, the only file that I can find is
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails?DriverId=R2476...
which only includes the .deb version of the package, not the .rpm one.
I've asked Dell support for help, but I thought I'd ask here too. Has
anyone had this problem or (even better) solved it? Is it possible to
extract the PPD from the .deb version of the file?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave...

How to keep specified number of rpms in local repo?
by Frank Murphy
I have set up a local repo for testing.
It stores both 32\64 bit pkgs.
yum-local-plugin does not give an option to keep x number of rpms.
So how can I get to keep six version of each pkg max.
6 foo-$someversion-.i686.rpm
6 foo-$someversion-.x86_64.rpm
/path/to/_local.repo
This will enable me roll-back with rawhide testing,
but otherwise a general Q?

FreeDOS on fedora with kvm/qemu/virt-manager
by Alex
Hi,
I have a freedos virtual machine working under kvm, created with
virt-manager. However, I can't get networking to work.
The freedos instructions point to using virtualbox and using the
amdpcnet network driver, but I'm just using libvirt/virt-manager. Is
there a network driver in freedos that I can use with virt-manager?
Thanks,
Alex

Evolution mail mystery
by Aaron Konstam
I would like someone to explain a strange thing that is happening with
my incoming mail.
There is a group of email addresses that could well be on a contact
list. I have a evolution contact list with those e-mail addresses on
them.
I am getting a series of identical e-mail messages that are identified
as coming from people on that list and seem to be addressed to an e-mail
address that is not one I am familiar with. Despite that on the surface
the e-mail is not coming to me the first line in the header reads:
X-Apparently-To: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net via 67.195.15.110; Mon, 16 Apr
2012 06:47:30 -0700
Others on the contact list are getting the same message.
What in the e-mail headers would allow me to identify what is going on?
Or how this is happening?

iphone won't mount as a file storage system ?
by linux guy
I am trying to mount my wife's iphone to download images and videos
onto a local hard drive. I am running a fully up to date F16 x64 OS.
I did this several months ago without any issues.
Dmesg give me the following.
[ 1286.087355] usb 2-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd
[ 1286.177635] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=05ac, idProduct=12a0
[ 1286.177645] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=3
[ 1286.177657] usb 2-1.1: Product: iPhone
[ 1286.177659] usb 2-1.1: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[ 1286.177661] usb 2-1.1: SerialNumber: a10733b8ceb1656487ee7cdf532caad722243961
[ 1286.538215] ipheth 2-1.1:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached

[ 1325.917498] ipheth: ipheth_rcvbulk_callback: urb status: -71
I have the usual i device libraries installed, it libimobiledevice,
ifuse, gtkpod, etc.
It appears that Linux is trying to use the phone as a tethered network
connection rather than mounting it as a USB storage device.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
Thanks !

Kernel 3.3.1-5 breaks mouse selecting.
by Christopher Svanefalk
Can anyone else confirm problems with selecting text (etc) using the
mouse after updating to the latest Kernel for F16? Whenever I try, it
will "drop" my selection (and start over somewhere else) when I try to
highlight something. It is extremely annoying since it makes
copy-pasting nigh impossible using the mouse.
No bug report filed yet, just wanted to see if anyone else had similar issues.
