New FC6 Installation DVD released
by Lyvim Xaphir 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Latest FC6 Respin installation DVD was released on 2007-01-19. Lots of known FC6 bugs fixed and it uses the latest updated packages as of Jan 11th. If you have had install problems with Core 6 before, you are encouraged to try installation with this new FC6 Respin DVD. http://fedoraunity.org/news-archives/core-6-re-spin-20070111/ "The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of new ISO Re-Spins of Fedora Core 6. These Re-Spin ISOs are based on Fedora Core 6 and all updates released as of January 11th, 2007. The ISO images are available for i386 and x86_64 architectures via BitTorrent starting Thursday, January 18th, 2007. PPC images will follow within the next 5 days, but will have had only limited testing. This release was delayed while waiting for fixes to known issues with Fedora Core 6[1] as well as the creation of a new tool for composing Re-Spins. Previous releases were built with a homebrew script. This release was built with the new tool called Pungi[2], developed by Jesse Keating, a leading community member and Fedora Release Engineer, with community input. This tool will be used in future official Fedora releases and for Fedora Unity Re-Spins. We have joined in this effort to bring a full featured tool to the Fedora community, enabling anyone to build Re-Spins and Live-Spins now and in the future."

Yum on x86_64
by Gareth Bult 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, I seem to have (finally :) ) acquired a complete(ish) / working x86_64 system .. but I'm still having trouble with a few bits, not least "yum". I get; Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Unreleased Updates Finding updated packages Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "yummain.py", line 204, in main File "clientStuff.py", line 363, in getupdatedhdrlist File "clientStuff.py", line 409, in bestversion IndexError: list index out of range [root@squizzey oddjob]# (This is a modified system [2.6.0-test11] however it seems to run well) Pointing it at mozilla's channel for SeaMonkey seems to work if I disable the default channels, however... Anyone any ideas ? (I was sort of expecting to see it say "no x86_64 updates supported yet" as opposed to a complete crash) Also, can yum pull SRPMS and rebuild them ? tia Gareth.

Thunderbird and Snapshot
by Paul Lemmons 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

I am almost certain I have done this before but I am getting old and may be imagining things. I have opened up a new message in Thunderbird (latest and greatest). I have verified that the format is "Rich Text (HTML)". I go to KSnapShot and snap a section of the screen and click on the "Copy to Clipboard" button. I then try to paste it into the note and it simply does nothing. Am I missing something? I would like to paste an image into a note to send as documentation to someone. -- Murphy Says: Real programmers don't eat muffins

Canon Elura 100 Camcorder and FC5
by Robert L Cochran 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

I gave my wife a Canon Elura 100 camcorder for Christmas. I just watched her download her very first movie to Windows XP. Can I do the same in Fedora Core 5? If I just plugged in the camcorder to my onboard 1394 port, will an application come up recognizing the camcorder and offering to download the movie from the DV tape? Thanks Bob

Python, RPM error
by Austin Isler 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I apologize if this is in the archives, and I missed it. I updated rpm a while back with: # yum -y update rpm I believe it installed a python2.4 package as well. Ever since then, I have had problems with python and rpm. I get this error when trying to use yum: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ? import yum File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 21, in ? import rpm ImportError: No module named rpm Appreciate the help, Austin

Dear All To get a pdf file with the contents of a web-page, I produce a ps file and then I use ps2pdf. However, no text can be copied from the resulting pdf file. Is there other way of producing a pdf file with copyable text? Thanks in advance, Paul

firefox bookmarks
by Richard E Miles 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Is it possible to save the firefox bookmarks so that when I do a clean install of FC4 I can reload them? I tried to cp the bookmarks.html file back into the /home/rmiles/.mozilla/firefox/0qem39dn.default directory but it did not restore them from an earlier saving of this file. It would be nice to be able to reset the bookmarks that I had in FC 3 to the FC 4 firefox. -- Richard E Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097

Public keys - again.
by Anne Wilson 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Realising that I hadn't installed lshw since I installed FC6, I tried to get it today and came up once again against the public key problem. I'll never get the hang of this :-( I followed the link on freshrpm's web page and saved the file, then ran 'rpm --import path/to/file' which appeared to put it into the right place, but still the package wouldn't install because it said there was no public key. Wondering whether the problem was because something was broken in my repo setup - out of date, perhaps - I removed the repo and reinstalled it. Still no joy. Just what is it that I have forgotten?

FC6 Cups with Samsung - 1610 laser printer
by Antonio M 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

I am using a Samsung ML-1610 laser printer. I am experiencing many problems in printing images either with Eog, Gimp or documents including same images as a openoffice writer document or a PDF document. I can't print my photo (that it is not a real problem as I use an external lab)!!! When I installed the printer (that was working a little bit better with previous versions of Cups) I was compelled to use the GDI driver, as if I try to use Postscript driver I get an internal cups server error.. When I try to print an image i see red light flashing but no printing!!! Any help -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
