Wallet mysteries
by Timothy Murphy
Is there a one-page explanation of wallet
(actually I am using KDE Wallet) anywhere?
On one laptop I have to give my wallet password
everytime I go to my news account at news.eternal-september.org ;
on my other laptop I am not asked for this.
What is the explanation?
And how can I stop this request being made?

anyone running android sdk to talk to a real phone on fedora 14?
by Tom Horsley
I can't figure out if this is a kernel problem or what
(though I lean towards kernel since it works one way
immediately after powering up the system and a different
way after that).
If I plug in my samsung intercept phone right after powering off then powering back up
and booting fedora 14, I see this show up in /var/log/messages:
Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.131064] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.354901] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=681c

Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.374157] usb 2-3: can't set config #1, error -71
And lsusb shows this:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04e8:681c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy Portal/Spica Android Phone
which isn't really right as it is an Intercept, not a Galaxy.
Now I unplug the phone, and leaving the system up, plug the phone back in again:

Apr 23 22:40:20 zooty kernel: [ 750.534082] hub 10-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
It just goes completely wacko after the first time I plug it in.
No matter how many times I plug in in after that, I'll see the same
thing.
On the other hand, an ancient crappy system I have with only
usb 1 ports seems to work fine. It detects a communications
device and creates a /dev/ttyACM0 (or something like that)
as well as a storage device for the SD card.
Does this sound like something I should report as a kernel
bug?

Is this ok [y/N]
Question: are all these really necessary dependencies, or are they just
brought in as a historical relic over successive packagings?

So where are my workspaces??
by Beartooth
Having had trouble with F15 media, I told preupgrade on an
expendable (heavily backed up) pc to go to F15 beta. It did, eventually,
after taking an amazingly long time -- and looks worse, so far, than I
had feared.
I logged in, and it put me onto what has always been my workspace
#1. But there are no panels, let alone a workspace switcher; and right-
clicking does nothing anywhere.
I have it doing yum update at present, also going through an
amazing lot of stuff. Will that enable me to orient myself? Or is this
release a total loss already for all but Alpha Plus Technoids?

F14 scanner no longer recognised!
by mike cloaked
Until a few months ago my scanner attached to the usb port on my
machine was working fine under F14.
It needed a simple:
Add two lines to /lib/udev/rules.d/65-libsane.rules under the Samsung Lines:
# Samsung SCX-4500W
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="342b", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
and then firing up the Gimp I could scan immediately - however I have
not used the scanner for a few months and today when I needed it there
it is not recognised.
I tried (as root):
sane-find-scanner - and it gives:
"found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.],
product=0x342b [SCX-4500W Series]) at libusb:001:002"
but yet:
"[root@home1 ~]# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages)."
My original config is still as it was (I checked) - and also the
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf still contains the "xerox_mfp" entry at the
bottom that used to be needed.
I also made selinux permissive in case that was the issue - and it was
the same -
Does anyone know if something has changed in F14 recently that may
have been the cause of this change to scanner recognition - or a way
to work around this?
Thanks

HELP - Fedora 14 with kernel 2.6.39-rc5
by John Wendel
I've got a couple of boxes running F14 and I thought I'd play with a
2.6.39 kernel. I currently run 2.6.38.4 on both, so I do know how to
build a kernel. I tried my working 2.6.38 kernel config files and the
latest Fedora kernel configs as starting points.
Long story short, I can't get any video out of either box. One has a
radeon card and the other has nvidia. The system boots, and I can ssh
in, but no pretty pictures.
I'm stuck. Any hints will be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Serial Port for Root Only
by mike
I have a USB serial adapter I am trying to use as a seial console device
for putty. It is identified and works like a champ for root but will
not work for any other user.
For anyone other than root putty returns "Unable to Open Port". I have
checked proc/bus/usb/devices and can find nothing that would restrict use.
Is there somewhere else I should be looking?
Thanks
