epdfview?
by Ranjan Maitra 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Hi, For the past two distributions (F16 and F17), epdfview has been very quirky. Specifically, it does not like to display scanned pdf files. I have sometimes been able to get this to work by converting the ps to pdf and then back to pdf, but not always. I rather like epdfview (over evince or xpdf) but I wonder about its future, given that the bug reporting system on emmasoft is completely compromised with spam and advertisements of garbage, and there is no way that I can tell of communicating to the developers. Anyone knows if epdfview has a future? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

Atheros Ethernet controller with Fedora 17?
by Michael Hannon 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Greetings. As I mentioned in a previous note, I've got a new, HP desktop system that came with Windows 7 installed. My plan for this system was to install Fedora 17 on the second disk drive, then create a virtual machine that used the physical Windows partition as its hard drive. I had trouble with the video card during installation, but a suggestion from Ed Greshko got me around that (thanks, Ed). I also had trouble with the partitioning scheme on this UEFI system. After a good bit of fiddling around, I finally have (a) Fedora 17 installed on the second drive, with (b) the Windows partition still intact and functioning. Aside from all the time wasted, this seems like a pretty good state of affairs. The rub is that I have no networking under Fedora. The system has two network adapters, wired and wireless: Atheros AR8161/8165 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller (wired, of course) Ralink Dual Stream 802.11n (wireless) I'd really like to get the Atheros (wired) controller working, but I'd settle for either one at this point. It appears that Qualcomm/Atheros doesn't have much love for linux. Likewise, the sites that turn up in a web search seem to have drivers exclusively for Windows. Is there any hope? Fedora 18? New network card? I know I should have checked before I bought, but I've done this Windows/Fedora thing on a number of HP boxes in the past and never had any problems. Thanks. -- Mike

graphical desktop no longer comes up
by JD 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

My graphical desktop all of s sudden does not come up. I can bring it up manually: export DISPLAY=:0 nohup Xorg & nohup startxfce4 & However, mouse and KB do not work, so I am unable to login to the desktop. I can only use the text console. Not sure if this is a udev issue or Xorg issue.

How to initialize Kmail?
by Jonathan Ryshpan 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

I want to switch from evolution to kmail and have installed kmail from the Fedora repo and made some simple tests. I want Kmail to think it is a fresh installation and run the installation wizard. Some simple ideas, like removing ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail and uninstalling/reinstalling kmail have not been effective. How can I convince Kmail that has been freshly installed? Thanks - jon

NVidia GT520 and the rpmfusion how-to
by Matt Morgan 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

I just plugged an NVidia GT520 into my Fedora 17 machine and I have two monitors working with the nouveau driver with zero effort on my part. Yay. But videos are jumpy so I want to try the proprietary driver. I went to the How-to that's been recommended on this list, at http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia Where the first task is to figure out which driver to install. The options are "GeForce 6 and Newer," "GeForce 5 (FX Series)," and "GeForce 2 through GeForce 4." You're supposed to see what lspci says to figure out which you have, but my lspci output is a little obtuse: [matt@matt ~]$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1040 (rev a1) Which one do I have? Thanks, Matt

F14 was EOLed around 6 months ago, meaning it no longer receives updates, even for serious problems (and your chances of getting answers on this list drop off quickly). You should upgrade to at least F16 (F15 will be EOLed soon). This means moving to Gnome 3 or a different desktop. poc
