help - recovering virtual machine
by Genes MailLists
I have an image file with everything I need installed on it.
It was running fine in f11 (has win xp in it).
I intalled f12.
What do I need to do/recover from backups - so that virt-manager sees
the vm ?

gthumb problems
by Paolo Galtieri
I have a Nikon D70s camera. I also have an external USB smart card reader
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0b97:7762 O2 Micro, Inc. Oz776 SmartCard Reader
When I plug the 4GB SanDisk from my Nikon into the card reader it mounts the
disk and puts an icon on my desktop. When I double click on the icon it
brings up a file browser. It identifies the contents as being digital
photos and there is a button on the file browser to start the gthumb photo
import tool. Clicking on this button does not bring up gthumb. When I
look in my .xsession-errors file I find the following:
(nautilus:2163): Nautilus-GDU-WARNING **: unable to query info: The
specified location is not supported
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
D70S"; exec gthumb --import-photos: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking
for matching `"'
D70S"; exec gthumb --import-photos: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end
of file
The same problem occurs if I attach the camera directly to the PC. The
actual mount point is
/media/NIKON D70S
Note the space between the NIKON and the D70S. It looks like the file
browser is choking on the space since it is showing D70S" rather than "NIKON
D70S".
This all worked fine under F11.
Once the device is mounted I can run gthumb manually on the mount point to
import the files.

Re: Wrong page format Avery A4 labels. [SOLVED]

Just to let you all know that the problem seems to be printer related. On my HP
LaserJet 2200 the label sheets print wrongly as mentioned above. But when I
print using my colour printer HP Photosmart 8450 they print correctly.
Thanks to Peter Hillier-Brook who somehow forced me into trying this other printer.

Need usb troubleshoting tool
by Gene Heskett
Greetings all;
Do we have a usb monitoring tool that can detect and name the processes that
are apparently fighting over a device plugged into a semi remote usb hub, a 7
port Alps gizmo plugged into one of the mobo ports?
Or is it possible that because it is not plugged directly into the
motherboard, that some other process is claiming the attention of that hub,
and making usbhid-ups _think_ another process has locked the ups for its own
use?
Thanks.

Nut 0 vs F10 winner
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
I am trying to make nut work, in this case with the usbhid-ups driver for a
Belkin UPS. Something is interfering with the drivers access to the ups, I
can often see device or resource busy messages in the drivers debugging
output, which causes it to do a restart, looking for all the devices it knows
about. Eventually it will find it again, but in the attempts to do so are
hidden the messages about something else accessing the device & locking
usbhid-ups out. From a screen scrape:
Checking device (050D/0751) (001/016)
- VendorID: 050d
- ProductID: 0751
- Manufacturer: Belkin
- Product: Belkin UPS
- Serial Number: unknown
- Bus: 001
Trying to match device
Device matches
failed to claim USB device: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource
busy
The errors of course propagate up through upsd to upsmon which in term
reports no perms and stale data.
Does anyone know what might be attempting to gain access to this usb
connected device besides usbhid-ups?
Thanks all.

wine dxdiag - shows nothing
by AlannY
Hi there.
Recently, I've used Gentoo and runs Wine for games on it. But now, I switched to Fedora 12 x86_64.
I've installed wine successfuly:
%# yum instal wine.i686
After that, I've installed directx9 and gecko with winetricks script.
Set up wine is OK:
%# winecfg
Some win-programs already works.
Then, I need to test graphics:
%# wine dxdiag
But, this command shows nothing. Exit code ($?) is 0 (which means everything ok).
What to do? I cannot play games with wine-directx on Fedora, but can on Gentoo.
I've fell in love with Fedora and don't want to switch back.
P.S. Are you playing win-games in Fedora?

Fedora 12 Second Monitor issue
by John Clark
Hey everyone, I may just not be seeing this topic and if so I am sorry. I
just started running Fedora 12 with two monitors. The main display is fine,
but my second display will not give me more than 800X600 resolution. It is a
HP vs19 LCD, and I know it is capable of more. Is there any solution to
this?
