Need help for F18 with Canon LBP2900
by Khemara Lyn
Dear All,
I have tried and exhausted my search on Google on how to install my
LBP2900 on Fedora 18.
It could not work. I could see print jobs in the queue; but it would not
print.
Anyone out there has a solution for this? Maybe, there is a good guide
somewhere that i could not find. Please point me some links.
Thanks in advance for any idea!
Regards,
Khem

Blackberry / sd card
by Richard Vickery
For F19:
Is it possible to see files on a Blackberry 10 via usb? I plugged the
unit in, it made the connecting sound, and it creates a file /dev/sg2.
Yet I don't get a device in nautilus?
I want to add some files to the sd card, and if I plug it into the
sd-card slot it is, and had forever been, unwritable, regardless of
whether the permissions give me write capabilities.

Subject: Announcing the release of Fedora 19!
Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 10:01:29 -0400 (EDT)
The Fedora Project is delighted to announce the release of Fedora 19 ("Schrödinger's Cat"). Open the box and take a look for yourself!
Fedora is a leading-edge, free and open source operating system that continues to deliver innovative features to many users, with a new release about every six months.
Download it now:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
Detailed information about this release can be seen in the release notes:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Release_Notes/
** What's New in Fedora 19? **
The Fedora Project takes great pride in being able to show off features for all types of use cases, including traditional desktop users, systems administration, development, the cloud, and many more. But a few new features are guaranteed to be seen by nearly anyone installing Fedora and are improvements that deserve to be called out on their own.
A complete list with details of each new feature is available here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/FeatureList
== Make new things ==
Would you like to play? Whether you're a developer, maker, or just starting to learn about open source development, we have what you need to bring your ideas to reality. Here's a peek at some of our new tools:
* Developer's Assistant is a tool for new developers that helps you to get started on a code project by offering templates, samples, and toolchains for a variety of languages. And when you're finished, you can publish directly to GitHub!
* 3D modelling and printing are supported with OpenSCAD, Skeinforge, SFACT, Printrun, RepetierHost, and other tool options. Get printing without having to download binary blobs or run Python code from git.
* OpenShift Origin makes it easy for you to build your own Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure, allowing you to enable others to easily develop and deploy software.
* node.js is a popular Javascript-based platform for those building scalable network applications or real-time apps across distributed devices.
* Ruby 2.0.0 moves into Fedora but keeps source-level backwards compatibility with your Ruby 1.9.3 software. We're also giving you a custom Ruby loader to use to easily switch interpreters.
* MariaDB offers a truly open MySQL implementation and is now the default MySQL option in Fedora.
== Deploy, Monitor, and Manage ==
You don't have to work so hard when your machines are doing it for you. Regardless of how many you have, Fedora 19 helps you boot-manage your systems and gives you the tools you need for diagnosis, monitoring, and logging.
* systemd Resource Control is one of many systemd enhancements in this release. It lets you modify your service settings without a reboot by dynamically querying and modifying resource control parameters at runtime.
* Kerberos administrators no longer need their clients to sync their clocks or to have reverse DNS records carefully setup for services. Fedora 19 also includes Kerberos-enabled, LDAP replicated, two-factor authentication for FreeIPA.
* Checkpoint & Restore lets you checkpoint and restore a process. It is useful for issues like process failure or moving a process to another machine for maintenance or load balancing.
* OpenLMI is a common infrastructure for the management of Linux systems that makes remote management of machines much simpler.
== Desktop Environments and Spins ==
GNOME 3.8 brings new applications such as clock and improvements to the desktop including privacy and sharing settings, ordered search, frequent applications overview, and additionally provides the ability to enable GNOME Classic ("classic mode") for a user experience similar to GNOME 2 built out of a collection of GNOME Shell extensions. Refer to https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.8/ for more details.
KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.10: A modern, stable desktop environment, KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.10 includes new features for printing and screenlocking, better indexing of files, and improved accessibility features. Refer to http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.10/ for more details.
MATE Desktop 1.6 introduces a large number of improvements to this traditional, GNOME 2-like desktop interface. Refer to http://mate-desktop.org/2013/04/02/mate-1-6-released/ for more details.
== Spins ==
Spins are alternate versions of Fedora. In addition to various desktop environments for Fedora, spins are also available as tailored environments for various types of users via hand-picked application sets or customizations.
Interest-specific Spins include the Design Suite Spin, the Robotics Spin, and the Security Spin, among others. Other available desktop environments, in addition to the GNOME 3.8 desktop which is shipped in the default version of Fedora 19, as well as those highlighted above, Xfce, Sugar on a Stick, and LXDE.

Is linux+network printing ever going to be easy?
by Richard Shaw
I've got a HP Photosmart printer that works pretty well for regular jobs.
The problem is when I want to use the photo tray.
I've learned the hard way that at least with Linux, it is often
advantageous to make a copy of the printer to use as the "photo" queue with
all the appropriate defaults set.
So here's my scenario:
Wife wants to print a photo to the 4x6 photo tray with photo paper in it.
I setup the queue as mentioned above.
She opens the photo with the default application (Shotwell)
The clicks the print button, changes to the photo queue, and clicks print.
It prints out of the 8.5x11 plain paper tray.
I check her laptop via "localhost:631" and verify that the queue was setup
correctly, and it was.
I open the photo with Shotwell, click the photo queue, and go through the
settings in the other tabs only to find that "plain paper", 8.5x11 size,
and default color print quality selected.
I try to fix this by selecting 4x6 borderless prints, high-quality photo
printing but then try to change the paper type. Only plain and transparency
are available, no photo paper in the drop down, which the print dialog
complains that the print settings are not compatible, no duh.
The photo does print on the 4x6 photo paper and looks OK, but not great...
Is this just a problem with Shotwell?

RE: retrofitting LUKS encryption on installed system

Subject: retrofitting LUKS encryption on installed system
I've got a F19 installation that I'd like to turn into a fully encrypted
system with LUKS.
There are many howtos on the web for encrypting a partition, but they
all show doing it to /home.
-----Original Message-----
No, just re-install.
One partition with /boot and another with an encrypted volume-group, holding /, swap and the rest.
But before embarking on that trip, do you really need full disk encryption?
I mean, the content of /usr is on any fedora-cd ;-) And when up-and-running, everything is unlocked.
The only valid reason I can think about, is that other people have physically access to your machine and could get root-access by booting from cd/dvd, and might alter your system.
It surely works, but at a performance price. And the certainty that you have to enter the LUKS-key each time you boot.
