Printing photo-quality on HP deskjet F4180
I don't know if this is a software issue, or if the printer is just broken. (I'm using Fedora 12) Basically, I can print fine using plain paper/normal quality. But If I try to print photo quailty/photo paper, the image is overscaled (about twice the size), displaced so that the centre prints around the left edge, and only prints black - no colour. I have hplib installed (by downloading from the hp site and following the instructions - many weeks ago). I have managed to print photo quality before (at least once). Does this sound like a familiar problem to anyone? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I had that installed before, but then my wife wanted to scan documents, and I was advised on the list to use the HP download. Scanning wouldn't work before, and it did after i did that download. Nevertheless, I will try it, and report back. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Can't see MacBook Air airport after kernel upgrade
Hello, My MacBook Air, running Fedora 12 (only - no Mac OSX or anything else present) was working fine last night. I hit the orange star to do an upgrade. Today, the system could not see an eth0 wireless device (the Airport). I edited grub.conf to say default=1, so as to reboot the previous kernel. Now all is working fine (so I'm not too concerned). That previous (working) kernel is 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.x86_64. The newer (not so good) kernel is 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.x86_64. Do I need to open a bugzilla ticket for this? If so, are there any special keywords/terms I should use to make sure it gets seen by the tight people? Thanks. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I originally had the ! important, but I removed it from
the example to keep things simple. The example doesn't even work on a
page that has no style rules.

Can't print to parallel port with Fedora 14
I have a laser printer which was working fine. Unfortunately the computer to which it was attached (which was running Fedora 12) proved to be sick. So I've tried moving the printer to two other computers in turn (one 32-bit, one 64-bit) running Fedora 14. I cannot get it to work on either of them. I get the message: lp: driver loaded but no devices found I tried googling which suggested trying: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=7,auto although this was rather an old message.

Problems reading files after writing them to DVD
I've just tried archiving some of my photos to DVD. I used Brasero. I tried this using two different DVD drives (the one built into my desktop, and a USB device - both have worked fine before). I get the same results with each. After burning the drive and ejecting it, I re-mounted it. Now i can see the files OK, but attempting to open one of the .NEF files with UFRAW causes GNOME to give me a dailog box saying: /media/Data disc (14 Apr 11)/2010-09-12/CPA_7583.NEF: Unsupported file format. There are also text files on the disc. Trying to read one of these, or a .NEF file, in emacs shows all ^@s (which I believe means it's all binary zeros). Note the files are of the correct size - i.e. identical to the copied files (which I can read without problems). This is on an up-to-date Fedora 14 system.

Can't install Fedora 14 on MacBook Air
The initial installation menu comes up ok. I select the default option (install or upgrade).

None of these worked, nor the suggestion of using acpi=off.
However the option of installing with basic video driver is working (no
graphical install). I'll see how it goes. I don't want to try the live
CD suggestion unless all else fails.
Thanks everyone for your help.

emacs not working on GNOME in fedora 14

Where to set default root for wifi in Fedora 14?
My airport (wifi on Macbook Air) is working fine now fedora 14 is installed (hooray!). But the default root is not enabled. I can do so by typing as root: route add default gw 192.168.254.254 eth0 but I don't understand why this is not done automatically by NetworkManager. So where can I configure this? I think /etc/sysconfig/network or rc.local will be too early, as the device will not have started by then. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Trouble with wireless connection
This only started happening a couple of days ago: My wife's desktop, and my laptop, connect to our broadband modem via wifi. We find that now (as opposed to earlier in the week), we cannot connect until we restart the modem. My desktop and my webserver connect via an ethernet cable (static IP address). Neither machine has a problem connecting. Is this likely to be a hardware problem that has developed in the modem, or might it be due to a recent software update? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

How do I set up DHCP in order to upgrade the software on my router?
I'm trying to upgrade the software on my broadband router. The closest
instructions I could find to doing it are here:
http://markferry.net/Network.SpeedtouchUpgrade
Those instructions are Debian/Ubuntu specific, but I figured I ought to
be able to adapt them. However I'm not having any luck.
What I've done is:
yum install tftp-server
yum install dhcp
I've updated /etc/xinetd.d/tftp to look like this:
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
(i.e. all I changed was disable = no)
/var/lib/tftpboot contains the software file (ZZQIAA8.225.bli).
I edited
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
to look like this:
#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
# see 'man 5 dhcpd.conf'
#
authoritative;
use-host-decl-names on;
ddns-update-style none;
option domain-name "colin.demon.co.uk";
next-server 192.168.254.201;
filename "linux/pxelinux.0";
allow bootp;
subnet 192.168.254.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.254.255;
}
group {
host 192.168.254.254 { hardware ethernet 00:14:7F:F8:83:DD; }
}
iptables and iptables6 are disabled.
I start the dhcp service. Then I telnet to the router and issue the
upgrade
command. I then see the following in syslog:

That last message is repeated ad-inifinitum. Well, not quite. Eventually
the router restarts into mormal operation mode, and the software version
is unchanged. And the following lines of syslog appear (which I think
are of no consequence):

Thanks.
That's better, in the now one BOOTREQUEST gets answered with one
BOOTREPLY.
But then NetworkManager resets the ethernet port, and we go round and
round (very slowly).
Eventually I had to reset the router.
I think i will have to buy a new one.

Can't ssh to machine after re0installing as F12
Hello, today I upgraded (actually a fresh install, but I kept my old /home partition) to Fedora 12. Now I can't ssh to the machine (I use DSA public key authentication only). I can't figure out why. One clue is that if I open a shell, I get landed in /. I have to specifically type cd to change to my home directory. I suspect that somewhere the change of permissions h at install time did not work properly, so maybe my .ssh directory is not being found. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Can't find scanner - HP Deskjet F4180
Hello, I'm trying to use the Gnome scanner tool, but it can't find the device. Googling shows that at least one person had no problems at all with this printer/scanner.

Sane conf file for HP Deskjet F4180?
(Still not getting emails from this list, so I'm reading the archives. Jim, your message didn't really help, as it looks like it must be HP-specific. Ubuntu users seem to have no problems, but I can't find any fedora messages). There doesn't seem to be an appropriate .conf file for the F4180 in /etc/xsane.d, as far as I can tell.

How to run preupgrade?
I have F14 installed on my Macbook Air, and I want to upgrade to F16. So I read the installation manual, and quickly found chapter 20. I did: yum install preupgrade as instructed, and then: preupgrade as instructed. Everything appeared to go well. At the end I pressed the button to re-boot as instructed, but my F14 system just re-booted as normal. How do I actually perform the upgrade from this point? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
