Getting to GUI in F21
by Beartooth
I have an old Dell PowerEdge SC1420, which ceased to be a server
or to have any form of RAID years ago, when I inherited it. Over the
years,
I've run many releases of Fedora on it, one or two of CentOS, and I
disremember
what all else.
Some OSs figure out my HP w2207h monitor on contact, even from
behind the KVM switch where I normally keep the SC1420; the last few
Fedora
releases have been good about that, iirc.
Some OSs don't find out how to display anything while behind the
switch, but do if I shut everything down and connect the Dell directly
and alone to the peripherals.
Some OSs never get it; I have had to tinker endlessly with
xorg.conf a/o grub.conf.
But now F21 doesn't get it, and I can't seem to find a file that
will let me tell it there is such a thing as a 27" 1680x1050 terminal.
(The only plausible candidates so far open with DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, and
a reference to the other files that set them; but I'm drawing a blank
about any way to reset the setting files.)
I can ssh into it, and have been updating it regularly; a few
days ago it even accepted a fedup (nonproduct).
Also, for a little while today, I had a Gnome3 display; I managed
to open a Mate-terminal; but before I could get to a panel, much less a
workspace switcher (one of my must-haves), it suddenly jumped into a
display that looked like a few lines torn from the normal boot messages.
I couldn't faze that, and finally hit Ctrl-Alt-Del. That got me
to a normal looking boot, except for one "FAILED," which went by too fast
to read. Then, for a little while, it went back to the Gnome3 screen, in
which I had begun adding and removing apps.
It didn't want to start yumex as root *nor* as user; so I told it
"yum remove evolution," thinking it would keep the data-server, or
whatever that thing is that stays when I remove Evolution with Yumex. It
didn't, and chaos ensued -- till it hit the abominable error message from
the monitor, saying "Input out of range."
Clue, please?

mozilla-adblockplus-2.6.6-1 shows 2.6.4 installed
by Andre Robatino
I have mozilla-adblockplus-2.6.6-1 installed in F21 (was just pushed stable
in F19, F20, and F21). Firefox's Add-ons/Extensions still shows 2.6.4, even
after quitting and restarting Firefox, and removing and reinstalling
mozilla-adblockplus. Do other people see this? (I'm guessing it happens in
all browsers and is Fedora-specific. I don't see any mention in the Adblock
Plus forum.)

F21 enabling java runtime in Firefox
by Robert Moskowitz
Maybe I am just too tired. Or maybe 'they' have really made it hard
now. I am just going in circles on getting jre working.
At one point I was finding pages about 'alternatives --display java',
but that lists so many items, that it is not clear what to enable.
Can't live with it, can work without it. And I don't even like coffee.
Can't really stand the smell of it. I am a tea snob. ;)'
Looking for that piece of magic. If anyone has a clue to spare, I would
appreciate it!

Develop ineo 25e printer and CUPS
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi all,
I have a Develop ineo 25e printer, and want to set it up with CUPS.
I connect to http://localhost:631/ and add the printer, with uploading
the PPD available here:
http://www.develop.eu/en/products/office-products/colour/ineo-25/download...
(English, Linux, version 1.1 dated 2012)
The printer is network connected, and the connection is
socket://192.168.129.100
job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided
I tried several combinations, with or without the PPD, socket:// or
ipp://,... no way:
The test page prints OK, but any other page is a kind of source code I
could not define.
Would you know what option could save me?
Thanks.

Zygrib not available for Fedora 21?
by Peter Lesterhuis
Hi,
After upgrading to Fedora 21 I lost Zygrib.
Can't find a rpm in the repo's. Of course I could compile from source, but I'd rather wait for a rpm-package.
Does anyone know if it there will be there soon? Should I try to install the fedora 20 rpm?

eclipse
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I downloaded Elipse (Gallileo) from the official repository of Fedora
with the purpose to develop Java programs,but it doesn't look to be suitable
to be used for developing Java programs..(it is not sensitive to the
skill used in Java programming, i.e there is not option to create java
classes, as also the option of compilation.., etc..).
Also I don't find JDK (Java Development Kit) inside the IDE, neither in the
menu
Window ---> Preferences I find a possibility to add the Java capability, as
it is wrote on the manuals of Eclipse....
I don't understand, I used Eclipse on Windows OS.. and there I
had not problem to develop Java Programs...
I am confused... what it is ?
What can I do to use Java in Eclipse in Fedora environment.
Regards
thank you
