Bumblebee on Fedora?
by Dave Cross
Bumblebee is a project to enable NVidia's Optimus technology on Linux.
I have found a number of web pages explaining how to use Bumblebee on
Fedora, but they all seem to involve downloading and compiling the
project's source code. Whilst I'm happy to do that if it's necessary, I
wondered if anyone knew of plans to make pre-built RPMs available in the
Fedora repositories.
Cheers,
Dave...

Black screen on boot
by Pavel Shkadzko
Hi, I'm experiencing strange behaviour with 3.6 kernel (laptop.hp pavilion dm1) . Black screen on boot after grub without any loading animation, and system becomes irresponsive. This happens only with network cable attached. Adding "nodetect" does not help. Any ideas?

OT - PogoPlug
by Robert Moskowitz
I am looking at getting a PogoPlug from Ebay. The P21 model that has 4
USB ports.
The description only lists to EXT3. I have 2 EXT4 drives that I would
like to plug into it without reformating (lots of stuff on them). Does
anyone know if this will work?
What is the status of the Fedora development for the Pogoplug?

fedora without texlive
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I just completed an F-17 install. I choosed the "customize now" option
and ask to not install texlive, but texlive is installed.....
Is it possible to have an install without texlive?
I use texlive, but fedora package for texlive is obsolete (texlive-2007,
almost 6 year late!) and I prefer to install texlive from CTAN in my
/opt partition.
How to remove texlive?
Thanks

DVD Styler
by Dick Roark
I am running DVD Styler on two different fedora 17 machines. Both fail the
same way. The setup is normal until execution is started and then DVD
Styler abruptly closes. Does anyone else's f17 having similar problems?

Feature request : transcriber
by Beartooth
People I know are forever sending URLs that are just talking
heads. I don't do talking heads.
But iiuc there is now software that transcribes speech, though I
don't know how well. Would it then not be possible to write software that
would go to a site and transcribe what is said there? Even if it could do
only one speaker, it could save a lot of us a lot of time.

annotate pdf files - best options for use with F17?
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I am required to annotate a pdf file for proof-reading and I was
wondering what users would recommend for easy use with Fedora 17. I
looked online some and came up with xournal, PDFescape, Crocodoc: the
last two are some online resource. I tried xournal but was not
impressed.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Rannan

ImageMagik PDF manipulation rotate, thumbnail, problems
by Gary Stainburn
I'm writing a fax document import facility. We receive faxes using Hylafax
which get converted to PDF and uploaded to a web server.
My web interface then allows the PDF documents to be split into single pages
and injected into a database.
I create the thimbnails by calling
convert -thumbnail 450 $1 ${1}.jpg
which creates a series of JPEG files one for each page.
Because some people don't know which way up to put pages into a fax machine I
also give the user the ability to invert a fax by calling
/usr/bin/convert $1 -rotate 180 $2
However, the resulting PDF file is very poor quality so I changed this to
/usr/bin/convert $1 -density 300x300 -rotate 180 $2
which fixed the quality in the PDF file which then looks as good as the
original, but is now the right way up.
My problem is then that if I use this new PDF file to create the thumbnails
using the top convert command the resulting image is still the same size, but
the whole of the contents of the page is squashed in the bottom left corner
and the rest of the image is plain while.
Can anyone help with this?
