Printing at 600 dpi makes everything twice as big
by Jonathan Ryshpan
When I print a page with Image Quality -> Resolution at 300 dpi
everything works fine, but when I print at Image Quality -> Resolution
at 600 dpi everything prints twice as large as it ought to with
resolution (I believe) at 300 dpi. The page that's printed shows only
the upper left quarter of the image that should be printed. I've had
this problem in the past (Fedora-15), but only with the Gimp and
Gutenprint; now it happens all the time.
System Info:
4 CPU x86_64 hardware
Fedora-16 with all updates installed
KDE 4.7.3
cups-1.5.0-22.fc16.x86_64
Brother HL1440 Printer
Default printer resolution is 300 dpi
Any suggestions?

F16: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and MTP
by Steven F. LeBrun
Has anyone succeeded in mounting the SD Card built into the Samsung
Galaxy Tab 10.1 on Fedora?
It wants to use MTP for the USB connection and I have not found the
right combination of software to correctly mount the tablet as a file
system. The MTP mounted tablet causes RhythmBox to crash when it tries
to connect to the tablet as a music player.
I have read some information about mtpfs. Does anyone know where this
software can be found?
MTP == Media Transfer Protocol.

F16 New Install on HP Pavilion g series - Problems
by Gregory P. Ennis
Everyone,
I am trying to do a new install of F16 on a HP Pavilion g series
notebook. This is an x64 install.
The first problem was related to booting the install x64 DVD. The
screen went blank after bit and the install died. I have tested the DVD
with checksums, and on a different computer and everything worked fine.
It appears that this particular notebook has a problem with the
installation disk.
I went to the troubleshoot section and did the install related to 'basic
graphic's (I think that was the label) The install proceeded but When
the process checks for missing dependencies it found a bunch. I next
reduced the install selections to just "Graphical Desktop" with use of
the "Fedora 16 x86_64_updates" repository and continue to be advised
that the installation will be compromised by a missing dependency :
libass-0.10.0-1.fc16.x86_64 requires libfribidi.so.0()(64bit)
I have not been able to find a google search result of a similar
problem.
Any ideas as to how to proceed?

f16 -- disk space usage: 32 vs 64 bit
by g
greetings,
in an off list discussion, f16 disk space usage of 32 vs 64 bit has
come up.
would like to receive comments as to how to calculate/guess2mate how
much space is used of 32 vs 64.
also, suggestions for allocation for kde with a minimal, general and
complete install.
i know, second question can be debatable and various due to what one
considers 'minimal' and 'general', but that would be open to repliers.
tia.

Printers : enabled non root? F15\16
by Frank Murphy
How can I get the logged in user to
check the "enabled" box for installed printers.
As sometimes it unchecks itself,
and then to go looking for a root p\w,
if root person is not there.
Not wanting to add everyone as a sudo.

Re: Re: Tablet Acer Iconia W500, anyone?
by Fernando Lozano
Hi,
> It's my understanding that Google has released the complete source for
the latest Android. Someone please correct if I'm wrong.
> John
Releasing the sources is not enough for me. Android is developed at
closed doors, and the source released afterwards, or not released at all,
like it happened wth 3.0 / Honeycomb. I don't know how hard is to do
something usefull with those sources. Sometimes you find "complete" sources
available but an incomplete/not documented/not automared build process, and
the sources are pretty useless without a huge effort.
Not mentioning that all android devices on the market use ARM cpus. Maybe
the current sources need significant porting effort for x86.
Current Android requires programming for their specic APIs: no X, no
LibreOffice, no Gimp, no Inkscape...
A tablet like the Acer Iconia W500 has the same specs as a current netbook,
so I could use it sometimes as a tradicional netbook and say edit ODT
documents, and sometimes as a tablet, using the touch interface for
multimedia and web browsing. It even helps that by providing a doc with
keyboard, full-size usb and vga ports. So today I could do with it things I
cannot do with a tablet.
My question is, on the tablet side, anyone has tried Fedora on the Iconia,
and found it nice to use with touch-screen only?

This blog and its sequels have detailed instructions on installing F15 on the tablet:
http://www.entirelyunlike.net/?p=56
But it does not answer my question, about the tablet as a real tablet (under Fedora), not as a netbook.
I can't believe there's no one on this list who tried Gnome Shell 3 on any touch-enabled PC or x86 tablet. :-(
