Parallel printer on Fedora 15
I recently upgraded from Fedora 14 to 15 via yum. After the upgrade, my parallel-attached HP1100 printer no longer worked. I deleted the printer, thinking I would just rebuild it, but I do not see an option to add a parallel printer. Am I overlooking the obvious?

I'm currently running Fedora 17, and I tried to use "fedup" to upgrade to 20. My PC has three HDD's. One has the OS, one has the swap partition and home dir's, and the last doesn't have a Linux partition. After running fedup and restarting, GRUB comes up with the default option of "System Upgrade (fedup)". It lists a number of OK messages and then stops with these two messages: [FAILED] Failed to mount /media/HDD. See 'systemctl status media-HDD.mount' for details. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems. systemctl status media-HDD.mount gives: media-HDD.mount - /media/HDD Loaded: loaded Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun, 05 Jan 2014 08:07:53 -06:00; 1min 5s ago Where: /media/HDD What: /dev/sdb1 Process: 795 ExecMount=/bin/mount /media/HDD (code=exited, status=21) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/media/HDD-mount Fedora 17 still runs, so it's unlikely to be a hardware failure, but for some reason it looks like Fedora 20 can't mount the drive. Can anyone offer suggestions as to what to try?

Sorry about leaving off the subject... I had a brain fart I guess. So F17 doesn't support fedup huh? A little odd since yum installed it for me.

Re: Fedup F17 --> F20
Well, I wasn't able to find an F18 ISO (guess I wasn't asking Google nicely enough). So, I tried a yum upgrade to F18. Everything looked OK until I rebooted. It gets to the blue bar that moves across the bottom (it says Fedora 18). Then my PC reboots. Normally, I would boot into recovery mode using the disk, but here I don't have one.

How to prevent headless JVM (Fedora 25)?
I have a 3rd party app that use a Java GUI, so it won't run on a headless JVM. I had it working until I installed a different app using dnf. It overwrote my JVM with a headless one and now the Java GUI app is broken. Is there a way to install/register a non-headless JVM with Fedora so it won't keep installing the headless JVM?

I use a several Java applications, some headless, some not on various linux distros + Windows +MacOS. Over time, most apps have begun to provide their own jvm. The others use various mechanisms such as setting JVM_HOME or editing a shell script to allow user to choose a suitable JVM. I always let the distro pick the "default" Java (e.g., openJDK), and install Oracle Java when one of my apps needs something that doesn't work properly with the distro package. It is an annoyance that apps use different, poorly documented, mechanisms to control which JRE is used. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Java says multiple Java versions should coexist in Fedora (use alternatives to select the one you want to be active) -- George N.

Re: How to prevent headless JVM (Fedora 25)?
When I installed Fedora Workstation, it loaded the headless JVM only. I installed the full JVM, but installing libreoffice via dnf reverted back to the headless one. It's almost like it considers the headless one to be the default.

The headless package (java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless) is a standalone package intended to be used on headless servers where the user may not want graphics related libraries installed. The headless package is just a subpackage of the main OpenJDK build and all it is is the full JRE minus some graphics related shared libraries (which are then provided by the 'java-1.8.0-openjdk' package). If you are using GUI apps, you just need to install 'java-1.8.0-openjdk' and you will be able to run GUI apps. Apps distributed via Fedora should have the proper dependencies (on headless vs full package); if you notice that once does not, please open a bug against that package.

Re: How to prevent headless JVM (Fedora 25)?
I have the non-headless JVM installed now, and I haven't tried to replicate the issue since. Does dnf keep a log? Here's my best recollection of the sequence of events:1. Clean install of Fedora 24 on a new laptop.2. Java GUI app failed. Vendor tech support eventually identified the headless JVM as the culprit.3. Installed Oracle JVM via rpm.4. Java GUI app worked.5. Upgrade to Fedora 25, and Java GUI app still worked.6. Install libreoffice calc & writer via dnf.7. Java GUI app failed. I checked and the only JVM installed was the headless one.8. Install non-headless openjdk via dnf.9. Java GUI app works.

The only way (I can see) it would revert back to headless is: 1. A bug in the JVM itself where GUI libraries are installed but it is not seeing/loading them (we have never seen this before though) 2. A bug in dnf where it uninstalled the GUI enabled package due to some weird conflict Are you able to reproduce this issue, or do you still have access to the system where the problem is happening?

Re: How to prevent headless JVM (Fedora 25)?
Tech support considered Java dependencies to be my problem. The app is just an executable JAR. I was unable to install the full Java via dnf, which is why I went with the Oracle rpm. Pretty sure the rpm conflicted with the headless JVM, so I removed that one. I can't explain this, user error is a likely possibility. Thanks On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 9:14 PM, Christopher wrote: Your "Vendor tech support" should have just told you to do 'sudo dnf install java'. In Fedora 25, "java" is split across more than one package. Most applications only need a partial installation, and that's what the "-headless" package gives you. If you need the rest of "java", you need to install the extra bits you need. $ sudo dnf install java # to install the full JRE $ sudo dnf install java-sdk # to also install the JDK If your "Java GUI app" was shipped as an RPM, it should have had a proper dependency on 'java' or 'jre' and done the right thing during installation. If it wasn't an RPM, you just needed to ensure all of its dependencies were installed first. Did you also uninstall the "-headless" version when you installed the Oracle JVM? That's the only thing I can think of which would account for what you described. If that was the case, then you would have seen that LibreOffice reinstalled the java-headless, because it is a dependency. When that was reinstalled, it would have updated your "alternatives" priorities, which apparently preferred the "-headless" version. Had you left the "-headless" version installed, and simply updated the alternatives after you installed Oracle JVM, this wouldn't have happened. Alternatively, had you simply installed the full OpenJDK version which ships with Fedora 25 by doing "sudo dnf install java", this wouldn't have happened. Hope that helps explain what you experienced. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
