How to discover latex fonts
by Michael Hennebry
Whenever I run latex with anything other than the default font,
whatever that is, I get a font not found message.
How do I discover what fonts latex can use
and the names and methods to invoke them?
Search lead me to fc-list, but it did not help.
It listed a bunch of files,
none of which were in the latex fonts directory.
If latex can use them, I know not how.
Yes, I did find the latex fonts directory,
but have no idea how to translate the file names into latex.
I want 14 point type, so I'm pretty sure I need a scalable font.

Print Errors with HP-1300 LaserJet
by Tim Evans
Recently connected a very old HP-1300 LaserJet printer to my Fedora 39
workstation, via USB cable. CUPS found and configured the printer as
"HP LaserJet 1300 Series Postscript (recommended)."
Print jobs are okay, but with every job I get an extra page, with the
following error message printed on it:
ERROR:
typecheck
OFFENDING COMMAND:
idiv
STACK:
50000
--nostringval--
--nostringval--
-mark-
-mark-
-mark-
-mark-
Even appears after printing test page from the CUPS admin interface.
Waste of paper...
Suggestions? Thanks.

by lejeczek
Hi guys.
Would you know how to disable/tweak bits in kernel/module so
display(& audio) is completely disabled?
I have AMD RX 6600 which I hope I could give completely to
ROCm for computing.

PCI-E to PS2
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Fedora 39
I am trying to find a PCI-E 1x to 2xPS2 adapter
that actually works.
The only one I could find was
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VB9TD6D
and it was dead on arrival: no power to the
keyboard.
You guys know of one that is Fedora friendly
that actually works?
Many thanks,

CLASSPATH for all Java installations?
by Jeffrey Walton
Hi Everyone,
I am building a DocBook, which requires Java. Fop is provided by
Fedora. I want to install FOP-Hyphenation provided by fop-hyph.jar.
The problem I have is, I don't know the CLASSPATH to place
fop-hyph.jar. It can be one of several locations provided by Fedora.
Cf., <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/java-packaging-howto/fedora_java_spe...>
and `alternatives --config java`.
My question is, where can I put fop-hyph.jar so that it is available
to all Java installations provided by Fedora?
(The info below is from Fedora 39 and Fedora's fop. I can't find
relevant reading on 'set_classpath' used by fop. I guess my Google-foo
is off today).
Thanks in advance.

by olivares33561
Dear fedora users,
Booted successfully to newer kernel but now have no sound
$ uname -a
Linux fedora 6.7.4-200.fc39.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Feb 5 22:21:14 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Visited alsa-info.sh file from github

https://alsa-project.org/db/?f=f3ddfc392020d0929a9cb0bae11a5a5d6166bebb
Any ideas, thoughts and suggestions are appreciated. Solved one problem booting kernels >= 6.4.12-300.fc39.x86_64, now have no sound. The settings show "dummy output" was using hdmi as output for sound.
Best Regards,
Antonio

wsdd failed Result: resources
by Tom Horsley
What on earth does that mean? Is there a contest to see who can
generate the least useful error message? :-).
My best guess is that it is trying to use ipv6 and I have ipv6
turned off? Or is it trying to use a bridge I have that isn't
normally connected to anything?

Strange message on boot
by Robert McBroom
I typically boot in mode 3 to a terminal. Fedora f39 going to lxde as
the desktop. Today with a cold boot and entering the user login the
following message showed
--
System is going down. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in
anymore , for technical details see pam_nologin(8)
--
Further messages indicated that some updates were being installed. After
some minutes the system rebooted.
Everything known has been done to prevent any automatic updates with
manual dnf being used as needed. The pam_login module looks for the
existence of
/etc/nologin or
/var/run/nolongin
What is updating files without a command and writing these entries?
