Printing problem with cups-1.6.4-2.fc19
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
having a problem since having updated to
cups.x86_64 1:1.6.4-2.fc19
cups-filters.x86_64 0:1.0.38-2.fc19
cups-filters-libs.x86_64 0:1.0.38-2.fc19
cups-devel.x86_64 1:1.6.4-2.fc19
cups-filesystem.noarch 1:1.6.4-2.fc19
cups-libs.i686 1:1.6.4-2.fc19
cups-libs.x86_64 1:1.6.4-2.fc19
I use some Libreoffice documents with gray background.
I'm printing to a Samsung ML-1660 B/W printer. Since that cups version
update, the gray parts of my document are signifinatly darker printed
than with the previous cups version, and the gray areas are not smoothly
printed.
I have the impression that the color management now fails in cups.
Anybody has similar problem? All comments are welcome.
Kind regards

Yesterdays update
by jarmo
Hi
Yesterday evening got updates to f19, somethin 900M. Update went
smoothly, but reboot didn't manage. Again got that Plymouth stuck.
Renamed /var/log/journal Journal.org and got things working again.
Now I disabled plymouth in start, adding to kernel line
plymouth.enable=0. All working fine, now question, where and why we
need this Plymouth? Because of candy? First feeling was, that f19
started little bit smoother without plymouth. Ofcource my computer is
somewhere 2007 intel "dual" core wit 2G ram, so should work still.
Using Xfce4 as wm....

"Copy To" & "Move To" options missing in Dolphin & Konqueror
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello Everyone
I recently moved my old ~/.kde directory out of the way because of
issues that I was having. Those problems are now fixed :) But I just
noticed that the "Copy To" & "Move To" options are not in the right
click context menus anymore. I can't even find where to configure
it... I should say that the options to configure that are no longer
where they USED to be...
Any help you can give me on getting this feature back is greatly
appreciated.

systemd[1]: Starting Fingerprint Authentication Daemon...
by Mateusz Marzantowicz
I don't have any fingerprint reader connected to my machine. Why is
systemd starting this useless daemon in this case? I've heard somewhere
that systemd tends to be more intelligent version of sysvinit that does
only what is really needed to save time and system resources. Here are
two lines from my system logs on F19 machine.
systemd[1]: Starting Fingerprint Authentication Daemon...

Status of Samsung F2FS support?
by Fernando Cassia
Hi there,
I wonder what is the current status with regards to Samsung F2FS boot
support. When I first heard about F2FS I thought it'd be a nice solution to
finally be able to get a full R/W Linux installed on a pen drive, without
tricks like ram drives...
So far, I haven't seen a Linux distro that allows placing /boot /root and
/home into a F2FS filesystem.
The ideal scenario would be to boot an install ISO from one pen drive, and
create a permanent installation on a second pen drive inserted into another
port, then afterwards boot from that second F2FS formatted drive...
Thoughts? Comments? Expletives? ;-)))

How to keep an old kernel?
by Timothy Murphy
I'm running Fedora-19/KDE on a Thinkpad T61.
I had serious problems with hibernation
when kernel-3.11 first came on the scene.
Things have slightly improved now,
but I still occasionally have what seems like
the same problem, one symptom being that I cannot shutdown
except by pressing the power button.
In any case, I have one 3.10 kernel in my three grub kernels.
I'm yum-updating with exclude=kernel* to avoid losing this kernel.
But I'm wondering if there is some way of telling yum
that I want to keep this kernel, but would like to update
the current kernel?

3D printing
by antonio montagnani
we are testing a 3D printer, with Marlin driver.With Repitiert Host at
first test we didn't get any connection with 250000 baud rate.From
googling around I am confused if 250000 baud can be accepted by Fedora
(I think so)
Printer works fine in Windows with same baud rate.Are we missing some
point??
Printer is 3drag from an Italian company, Futura Elettronica

F19 : getting to GUI (or anywhere)
by Beartooth
I have F19 on a T30 Thinkpad, installed by fedup from F18 (which
ran fine), and running xfce4 with some software from Gnome and KDE (such
as gnome-terminal) also installed.
The display has elephantiasis, as if it were on a screen big
enough to cover the room wall. It is a deep reddish brown (on black), and
hard to see despite the absurd magnification.
It's also way slow, at least when I use its own keyboard and
mouse. I have my desktop PC connected to it over ssh -Y; it seems to
respond at a normal rate here. (But, despite the -Y, I can't get to any
display other than a terminal, on the PC any more than on the laptop. Or,
maybe, I just don't know how.)
. Maybe the following, from the PC, will tell someone something :

I would like at least to establish whether the trouble is in F19,

Different results with Fedora 19 and older nvidia card
by Michael D. Setzer II
Booted machine from livecd image, and the gnome3 worked.
Used Fedup to upgrade an Fedora 18 setup to Fedor 19, and
gnome3 doesn't work (Opps screen), but KDE and Xfce does.
Did a clean install from the DVD image of Fedora 19 to a new
hard disk, and gnome3 doesn't work, kde regular doesn't work,
kde failsafe works, and xfce works.
The machine has a nvidia geforce FX 5200 card, which I know is
old, but that is what my classroom has in all 20 machines. So, not
just a matter of getting a different card. Long ago was using the
nvidia driver from there site, but they dropped support for the
older cards, so had to switch to the nouvea driver.
Any suggestions, or just have to stick with xfce..
Thanks.
