Found my box frozen this morning ie no login when I hit a key Caps and scrollock were blinking both Whats it and

CheapWebHosting.co.nz

Last night I removed FC6 and installed F7 After that I booted into it and logged in using gnome Today I booted

since it's the last thing i need before officially graduated from college
ironically, i'm helping with the website of the University that will graduate me
www.dsu.edu if you want to see the ugly monstrosity

they're trying too hard to appeal to people our age :[

what they did was threw glitter on a pile of shit and called it a redesign

taxpayer-funded no less

ferrum any idea where i can find a list of supported joysticks/gamepads for f7?

www.departments.dsu.edu/alumni ---------stuff i was working with today

google has been no help

drama1981, it's specified in the .config when the kernel is compiled. Other than that, I'm not sure.

ahh ok thankx

/lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/build/.config if you know how to read it
tw2113, you made this alumni page?

no
i'm remaking it

thank god
that shouldn't be so difficult..
could probably do that in a few hours, ne?

i estimate that at least 70-80% of the entire site is done from frontpage
i worked most of my 8 hour day on it, but i was passive with it and was checking fedoraforums and other bookmarks a lot

that's why they pay you the big bucks

i like the fact that adding my tablet PC to the mix, i get surrounded by Mac dual screen and Ubuntu
here on my desktop is Fedora, so i'm still in the right room

I'll probably switch my desktop away from Fedora soon. Perhaps to CentOS.

i had a question

or FC6, that was working nicely :/

is that bad bunny thing with OOo a real threat?

I'm not familiar with this

http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/911

oh, the worm!
right right

not saying i'm sitting here afraid to touch OOo, i was just curious

what is a .odg file?
oh graphics

OOo's base format i think

/var/spool/mail/alpha255: No such file or directory (errno = 2) --- why would i get this when opening mutt?

tw2113, it's not a tremendous deal. It relies on social networking, so it will be rather limited, like most ms word worms. Still sucks, though.
you can probably disable whatever it depends on in the options.

alpha255, because /var/spool/mail/alpha255 doesn't exist

heh

AlienBlood, i installed sendmail. and added a user; thought it might be created automatically

it isn't, may not necessarily be delivered there if you do other things as well

stock install
let me look some more

send yourself an e-mail

less profile gives me this...
MAIL="/var/spool/mail/$USER"

Yes, still not creating it

Error sending message, child exited 69 (Service unavailable.).
sendmail is running

and you did 'mail alpha255'?

sorry, trying out the game neverputt

"Error sending message, child exited 69" :: shouldn't be doing that with a child, anyway

tried from within mutt
nope, i do that with the wife!

hello

ctrl-d at the end of creating mail alpha255 right?

or .

ahh it's working now
thnx!

where can i find win32-codecs RPM for fedora 7?

make one

phildar60, no idea what that is.

phildar60, livna has support for win32-codecs in mplayer

not all of them

It never works by myself

Support gstreamer. But the codecs from Fluendo :P
*Buy

there is a HOWTO on fedorasolved that explains how to set it up

i have to boot on windows to view videos....

phildar60, false.

and easyubuntu for fedora?

phildar60, www.fedorasolved.org

easyfedora?

Anduin, thnx!

https://shop.fluendo.com/

missing lice,ce problems F7 is sooooooo nice

There's some fedora frog thing that's out there and you shouldn't use because we'll make fun of you and refuse to help you when it blows up in your face, but if you're into those fix everything scripts go find it

how many of you know female fedora linux users?

i know

tw2113, http://www.sciconnect.com/

a girl frm mandriva

i'm not that into science, but that is a good idea for a site
bi'm not that into science, but that is a good idea for a site/b

tw2113, i know about a dozen female grey parrots that use linux on a regular basis... a handful of female chimps and about 30 or so female dolphins

My mother uses Linux, I'm not sure if that is what you want to know, though.

same with my mom
and i have a friend getting married saturday who knows about it at least

my girlfriend uses linux aswell

a male secure linux web hosting user has a gf? wow
:P

she uses wine to play some windows games... like ultima online and anarchy online
tw2113, beeing a linux geek makes you very attractive to women...
tw2113, didnt you know that?

i've only used secure linux web hosting since february

tw2113, ah thats why ))

no denial

tw2113, the specific aroma will down itself upon you in a while.

or once i start interacting with them

tw2113, sad existence

i just don't do the best socializing

good morning |DrJef|

but there are always potentials at the wedding

tw2113, ask questions and talk about things you care about; it's not so difficult..

eh, this is off topic

tw2113, this is a support channel. No one needs support.
Ergo! No topic.

its definitely allowed to chat here. as long as it doesent disturb the main purpose of the channel.
which is of course end user fedora support

which is to gather donation moneys for me :[

ferrum, dream on

ok it's a topic i don't want to talk about much then
cause it's late

I'm just waiting for this coffee to wear off. Then sleep

anybody have experience with wine?

enviouz, yep

yep

/etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf does the x11 gui desktop have to be running for this to work?
i want to change that file to auto download and install updates
or should i do this via a crontab -e job?

alpha255, yum-updatesd requires x.org if you want to use puplet, yeah

Why? That's s a silly thing to do.

well i did yum install wine. but i cant do anything with it. i cant open wine file or wine config.

enviouz, why not?

so if the box is a server, how would you go about letting yum update automatically

can open exe's either just says opening for like 5 mins then does nothing

Then the world just has to listen when $RANDOM_PACKAGE got updated when you didn't want it to.

alpha255, if the box is a server host you should not automatically install updates.

Whether or not it's a "server" has nothing to do with it.

enviouz, well what do you want to achieve?

alpha255 is a fool

well im trying to see if it will play any of my windows games

envious, wine maintains an appdb.

enviouz, pop the cd in...
enviouz, cd into the dir and issue "wine setup.exe2
enviouz, cd into the dir and issue "wine setup.exe"

do i need a jester hat too?

enviouz, http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php

che its just an exe setup file i have

enviouz, or however the exe is called
enviouz, same way to go

They once release a kernel that couldn't ptrace

enviouz, before you experiment with wine and gaming though a few advices

che just duble cllick the exe right?

Anduin, don't kernel's get rpm -i vs rpm -U with yum?

enviouz, doubleclicking should also work but for testing its wise to do it on the shell first
enviouz, because you can see more output then

alpha255, yes. You're missing the point.

enviouz, glxinfo |grep direct returns yes?

ok, i'm off to bed

ahh ok ill try that once. just do wine "path to exe" right?

it's not a mission critical system

night everyone

night

enviouz, means you have direct rendering working?

Sure, just one rather glaring instance where things are overlooked. The F7 update installer will not work if you have a single blank line in /etc/modprobe.conf, just saying maybe your faith is best spent elsewhere.

hey

enviouz, in some cases you have to be in the same directory as the exe
enviouz, depends...

Anduin, true, i can buy that

enviouz, else the working dir is different and the exe cant find some things

hey fan

hey

If it's not a mission-critical system, then why do you think you need to do updates on some sort of schedule?

i am in need of a little help with setting up my wireless network any time someone has time

Anduin, what about at cron job that tells me that there are updates ready and need to be installed

mwilson, updating is a good idea

alpha255, that's what yum-updatesd does.

Did I ever say it wasn't?

ferrum, it needs the gui though right?

mwilson, did i ever say you said that? :')

gui / x11 / gnome / kde / next window environment

alpha255, not necessarily. iirc it communicates via that... acronym... I've forgotten
the gnome version of dcop
dbus!
there we go

enviouz, you might also save yourself some time by taking a look at appdb.winehq.org

http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php

I mirror them with reposync (another thing that wasn't tested, it is broken as "shipped")

enviouz, its a neat database with records of what works and what not

hey che could you help me out?

Fanactism, i have to leave for work soon

ok thanks anyways

Fanactism, what wireless card do you have?

atheros

humm, maybe i should use centos or something less cutting edge

i was trying to set up madwifi

k ill check that out. glxinfo |grep direct (does nothing)

with no luck

enviouz, yum install glx-utils

k ill try
nothing to do

glxinfo |grep direct returns nothing?

nothing at all

enviouz, issue plain "glxinfo"
enviouz, is there output?

hey guys, what happened to kwifimanager in fedora 7?

daemoen, not sure but tried knetworkmanager yet?

name of display 0.0 segmentation fault

enviouz, sounds great (

im using wlassistant, but it doesnt have anything for displaying in the panel

i'm having trouble booting into F7 as my videodrivers are not loaded correctly

Spaceknarf, nvidia ?

what is the boot parameter to get into the commandline?
no, ati

all i want is a nice bar based meter

daemoen, knetworkmanager does... if you use kde thats probably what you want to try
daemoen, it requires the NetworkManager service running

append 3 and remove rhgb if it is there

che, any idea what i may need to do?

enviouz, Fanactism i will be back on later again

ok
thanks

in like an hour or so

aok thanks
ok*

Anduin, i'll try, just a sec

i guess someone else can also help you guys out

well apparently my problem is common

enviouz, what vidcard is it?
enviouz, su -
enviouz, lspci |grep VGA

i have ati xpert 128 (rage)

bbl

ok so anyone else who could possibly help me with my wireless problem?

Anduin, thanks, I only removed rhgb and it works
can you point me to some site with a description of the bug?

was that directed at me space?

no, at Anduin

bugzilla.redhat.com (though I don't know it is a bug, just how to disable rhgb and not boot to X)

knetworkmanager seems like it would be nice, but it cant even authenticate to it properly
it fails to acquire the static ip hosting address. wlassistant has no problems though, rather amusing

Anduin, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192857 seems to describe the problem
I had the same problem with FC5 back then, and the same problem has returned now

Spaceknarf, fglrx is known non-working

hmm
i'm using the radeon drivers at this moment
I rebooted, and all is fine

keep at it then From what I understand, the problem is on ATI's side. Don't know any technical details.

hm ok
compiz doesn't work on fglrx drivers either
so there's no real use for me to switch

hey ferrum could you help me with my problem?

Fanactism, is it brief? I haven't slept in two days and I was just heading off to bed.

well
lol
idk
here
i am having trouble with my wireless connection

hardware? software? driver?

just guess.

well i was attempting to use madwifi

Fanactism, what card do you have?

atheros
its an atheros card

alright

that's a chipset

yes, yes. Madwifi. What's the issue?

well not quite sure how to use it
followed the tutorial
nothing went like it was supposed to

http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/madwifi-yum-livna/

google and fedoramobile are your best bets.

thanks

fedoraos.org

if an app works fine with wine on one pc it should work fine on another correct?

mqaybe if they have identical hardware and software

ahh maybe thats the prob then idk
wine wont open period

Does anyone know how to make an rt73 device connect on boot? The system-config-network tool doesn't recognize the device.

Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000078 at address 0x60b29148 (thread 0009)
thats when trying to open notepad

http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/rt2x00-wireless-lan-chipset/ might help you

fsck, Thanks for helping, but I'm using the rt73 legacy drivers and the net config tool doesn't detect the device.
Thanks anyway though!

shouldnt i have a wine directory in my home folder?

.wine
from that i can tell that howto should help you.

fsck, it would if the Network config detected my device
I've got the wireless working - I just need a bootscript or somesuch to connect on boot
as it is, I'm having to manually run the iwconfig's every time I restart

i thought so too but i dont have the .wine directory. only wine directoory ive found iis /usr/lib/wine

rpm -qa | grep wine

listed 12 wine packages

anyone know how to burn divx formated movie to CD disc for playon Divx/DVD player?

I know this may be a #livna question (but not much happening there), but just curious if anyone has had problems with the new 100.??.??.?? nVidia drivers from their? In particular my PC locks up anytime I try to shutdown the x-server (cntl-alt-baclspace or Shutdown). Seems the new driver has to be the issue as that is when it started.

nvm found the .wine directory. still no go though. idk maybe wine just doesnt work with my pc

Does anyone know how to turn off forward/backward via right/left scrolling in Firefox?

wfarr, i dont think you can

hello everyone, I have a problem with RSSOwl and JDK6u1 from Sun

wfarr, i havent found the config option in firefox which lets me disable it

Hmm

wfarr, ive looked

probably have to disable it at the Xorg level

RSSOwl run fine with GCJ, but cannot run with JDK6u1

wfarr, you shouldnt have to..

does anyone know why?

hi there

wfarr, stupid firefox should let you reconfigure what those xevents mean

|DrJef|, shouldn't and aren't are two different things much of the time

wfarr, so that its actually a horizontal scroll

heh

wfarr, there are configs for horizontal scroll... as modifiers to mouse buttons

i have a booting problem with fc6

wfarr, for the blasted mouse wheel

anyone to help?

wfarr, which is retarded....

heh
touchpad here

wfarr, i know

I always accidentally go back
-_-

wfarr, the fact that firefox has configs for mousewheel mods... but not for the actual trackpad events for horizontal scroll.. is absolutely stupid

:s
I'd file a bug upstream then

I managed to turn them off at some stage..

they don't work here either

I'll probably just disable it in Xorg altogether
I rarely horizontal scroll
so I'm not that worried

wfarr, actually,,,maybe ive found it

oh?

wfarr, touchpad horizonal scroll acts as buttons 6 and 7

Aye.
What's the key in about:config?

all i was supposed to do to get wine working is do yum install wine correct?

wfarr, nope sorry not what i thought

yes it does

wfarr, there's nothing in firefox config to map buttons 6 and 7

wine works well

wont even open for me LarryYuma

i could not understand enviouz

|DrJef|, Yeah I'll just disable it altogether then

mutk, in firefox or by screwing wht the trackpad settings in xorg?

well i did yum install wine. installed fine or so i thought. cant open any windows programs. cant open wine config. cant open regedit. cant open notepad

mutk, firefox is really really stupid about it.... hard coding buttons 6 and 7 to the stupid page history

well there were two more packges to install

mutk, i think most other things do it correctly... inkscape... openoffice...evince... the horizonal trackpad scroll is actually useful in them

one was for windows cabinet extractor

mutk, as navigation when a horizontal scroll is available

i don't remeber the other one

theya rent installed as part of the dependancies?

i beleive they are not

nootepad and wine config should open though anyway right?

as i can not boot my fedora machine i can not say which packeges they were
yes they should be

well when i do wine notepad i get the following
Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000078 at address 0x60bb3148 (thread 0009), starting debugger...

wfarr, good news!!!!

ask google for how to install ie6 with wine

oh?

wfarr, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050821141856688&lsrc=osxh

somebody has written a script for it

wfarr, it is in there.. its just frelling obscure setting

it will install both wine and ie

k ill try that

check your wine arcitectur is it i386 or x64
it must be competible with your distro
anyone to help on my booting problem?

it is i386

and your fedora is?

wfarr, most annoying thing on my laptop...solved

I can reciprocate =P

i386
f7

Realistically speaking, there's only one more qualm I have yet to solve before I'm perfectly content.

|DrJef|, Sorry, I was distracted by real work.. I actually don't recal what I did. Pretty sure it was simply disabled it altogether in Xorg

mutk, thats okay.. i found hte magik config

well it mst work

what really oinks me is it works fine on my other pc

is there a recomended way to install java6 on f7 ?
or fc6 ?

update your pc enviouz or remove wine and reinstall it

ive gotten all updates. reinstalled wine about 10 times. still no luck. my other pc works fine with it and its about 8 years older
uive gotten all updates. reinstalled wine about 10 times. still no luck. my other pc works fine with it and its about 8 years older/u

try to install old versions of wine
people
my fc6 x64 box does not boot
while checking the file system it breaks booting saying that
there is a wrong option for fsck.ext3
the option is -C
i've run fsck and it says my partitions are clear
any idea?

idk LarryYuma ive never ran into that before but then again im new too

so am i

ahh ic. i thought maybe you had use fedora for awhille. i just started with the release of f7

nope i am new too
and i have removed windows completely from my computer
to force myself to use linux

In an effort to make the rules portable and stuff.

hello
i m thinking about a solution for ghost the fedora for install it really quick
i have to install it ona lot of computer (all the computer are same)

kickstart

do you have an idea for the tools i have to use

PrMoriarty, there ino ghost in fedora :P

PrMoriarty, search for kickstarts on google

kickstarts ^
^^
thank you

np.

it s can work for a pxe server?

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-automating-installation.html

or i mean a ghost server
cool

You can use kickstart in conjunction with PXE.

PrMoriarty, also by the side look for cobbler. really cool piece of code. that support pxe + kickstarts etc. etc.

humm

with cobbler i have installed around 20 machines in no time :P

cool ^^
i have a trouble
i mean i can install all the disk hda?
or just the installed partition?

can you re-frame the question ?

Not understanding, sorry.

lol..
if all my hda is not use and i ghost it

re-re-frame it

sorry my boss was around me
tchecking kickstart
kickstart is just an automatic installation?

Yes.

it s not a copy of an image
right?

Correct.

arf
i really want to use a ghost
it s the fast thing everseen
(on microsoft system i m sure)

So then use Ghost.
Last time I looked it supported ext2.

humm
i heard a tricks
someone said me to use the instruction "dd"
for copy all the hda bytes per bytes

You don't want that unless you're *certain* all machines have *exactly* the same hard drive.

and it will create a *.raw stuff
i m sure they have the same hard drive
the same chipset
etc etc

hi, is there no kermit programm for fedora ?
i mean F7 ?

i m going to use it but i don t know really how it works

Doesn't look it.

maybe you used it in the past?

Yes, but not for that.

ohh ok
it s dangerous?
i m sure all the machine are ame

Basically you do "dd if=/dev/hda of=disk.img bs=16M" to make your image.

yum provides kermit, dose not show anything...

You do "dd if=disk.img of=/dev/hda BS=16M" to restore it.

lol cool

Actually, with F7 it will be sda.
But you get the point.

humm
i m on a FC4

You can probably get a ckermit SRPM from... FC3 maybe.

cause they are lazy to upgrade an internal soft work on this

ahh ok thanks

I sincerely hope you're not going to put FC4 on the new machines...

arf sorry
my computer shutdown
(cable disconnet)

aah

yes @ work it s hell
i can t touch any cable without a DC

we thought it was just FC4 ;-)

lol
arf my desktop is ubuntu

that should definitely do the trick, yes

but the user have a fedora core 4
(server application)
i think the developper think the migration is a little difficult

FC7

as a developper, those are his challenges

FC5 if going EOL in a couple of weeks. You *really* don't want to be running FC4 on anything.
bFC5 if going EOL in a couple of weeks. You *really* don't want to be running FC4 on anything./b

yeah, you don't want that...

ouch
let me just say this
what person in his right mind runs production on an engineering distribution with a 6-month release cycle and support for just barely over a year?
ohw, and in addition complains the migration is rather difficult

who said I was complaining about migrating it?

no-one did, who said you were saying that?

PrMoriarty is doing something like that ?

well at the very minimum he has someone on the phone that does that
;-)

:P i think i heard someone doing fc4 to f7 here
was it you evil_steve ?

Centos 4.5

humm

nice

the last is FC7 ,no.

PrMoriarty, try to realize the truth

cool

PrMoriarty, there is no FC7

and by the way i heard near the machine developper want to use the centos
machine coffe*
and it s not the 1st time i hear people on FC want to go on centos

i bet they're not big fans of RAD

(dunno why really..)

i saw some great explanation about the "c" in fc for f7 in a mailing list of fedora. the person in context was arguing about package names ending with "fc7"

that's just people not understanding why it went away from core
if you follow the instructions for atrpms, they still think there is a FC7

aah. atrpms.

hey
I need some help with Beryl
tried googling, but no solution
can't get Beryl working, and I keep getting a TON of 'extension "SHAPE" missing on display ":0,0"'

DarkUranium, /join #beryl

well, can I ask about something else then
I got another problem -
sound won't work

yes tell what sound card you have

Soundcard Detection ... doesn't find your card?

it find it, but doesn't work
finds*

The speakers are plugged in and turned on?
Volume is turned up?

of course
works in Win
probably has to do with the output...
it's optical ATM

Wanna answer openbysource's question?
optical sound? huh

VIA Technologies
yes, optical

lspci -v and paste the output over to http://rafb.net/paste

through an optical cable

never heard sound via optical cable

it's 5.1
sometimes coaxial is used
sometimes just 10 different plugs for each speaker
and sometimes - like in my case - optical

Check the notes on the ALSA website about your card.

http://rafb.net/p/2wrYOu83.html

Man it's really nice just hanging around here, just scouting for problems I haven't had yet. I pick up tons of stuff just by being pointed in the right direction by someone elses problem
Main problem I have with solving my own problems is not knowing where to look for the solution and not knowing what could have caused it

keep hanging around you will soon learn :P

also google helps lots :P

Yeah, been using that a lot too. This really beats the first time I tried running linux back in 97
Been trying to run it as my primary desktop on and off since then. Now me and my business is finally totally migrated

/proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled)

/etc/sysctl.conf ?

is that a question?
thank you

root can print, normal user not

guys, did anyone read through my logs

darkuranium, yes and i have no idea about that card. look into google and alsa project website

gtg
bye

whats the easiest printer install module? i am not too fond of cups?

'printer install module' ?

CUPS is the printing subsystem. Deal.

like alternative to cups

non-sense. What vendor do you expect to support a new printing subsys used a 10 people in the world ?

ok well cups isnt working

it just work.

iv been trying to make it work for 3 days

CoolGuy21, what is the problem ? explain

why dont you try to expose your *real* problem, instead of trying to implement a *fake* solution ?

Anvil i have tryed for 3 days
you get tired of it

I havent seen you.

ok heres what happens
give me 10 min let me get the server up k

Any Swedish in here?

hello

in fc6, xchat would open urls using firefox. in f7, xchat uses konqueror... any idea where to change that?

i downloaded the dvd fedora 7. i boot it an at ne point i get an error: running anaconda... error loaing shared libraries: libpython2.5.so.10:cannot open shared object: No such file or Directory

probably corrupted download ?

Did you verify the checksum and/or test the media?

ok i will check the media now for errors

Found my box 'frozen' this morning, i.e. no login when I hit a key... Caps and scrollock were blinking both... What's it and where can I find the cause (nothing in messages)? Panic?

fixed!

how can I memtest with Fedora 7 DVD? It complains "could not find kernel image memtest86"

Anvil are you therE?

do you use KDE?

yes, forgot to mention that..

you can prioritize your web browzer using the control center file associations

CoolGuy21, can ya tell the problem

you can prioritize your web browzer using the control center file associations

ok, so that's the way it's done? I can't remember doing that on FC6

openbysource let me copy paste into paste bin

I am not sure that is the way it is done, but it might get you there.

CoolGuy21, sure

oh well, whatever works
thanks.

a shot in the dark

are there any alternatives rpm to install zope/plone in F7 ?

it's behaving a bit different (i.e. it takes a bit longer), but I can live with that

did that get the results you desired?

well, it applies to all kde apps, I'm not quite sure I want it that way
but apart from that it works reasonably well

openbysource hwo do i set a dns server for the ethernet?

sorry I don't know an explicit fix, go figure

CoolGuy21, well you need to know about bind
:P

lol

I'll have to look at xchat, I guess

CoolGuy21, what kind of dns server. primary dns server ?

openbysource there was like setup-network
yes, for the ethernet card

CoolGuy21, that is not server. that is called setting dns client

ah ok

i guess so. if i am correct

how do i setup the dns client?

CoolGuy21, what version of fedora ?

im in command line

CoolGuy21, /etc/resolv.conf
edit this file and write the ip address of the dns server.
CoolGuy21, like for e.g: nameserver 192.168.0.1
that means 192.168.0.1 is the dns server and the client will look to it for any name resolving queries

"/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket failed"

is it just this ?

yes do u have a fix for it?

i probably guess the cups service is not running.
CoolGuy21, give a pastebin of ps aux | grep cups

http://pastebin.ca/561116

aah it's running the cupsd

which is?
ok what do i need to do to get this going?

when do you get this error

hi guys, I can't run memtest from my fedora 7 DVD. It complains "could not find kernel image memtest86"

im logged into port 631, i do test print and thats when it takes the printer offline and shows this message

i guess probably more informative error can help. look into /var/log for any log files

openbysource http://pastebin.ca/561121

That's because it's not on there.

anyone know a good ftp with a gui so i can ease myself into seting up an ftp with linux?
I have tried googling

moonchos just use webmin

ok cheers I'll look it up

Where did you get the printer driver from?

ivazquez, so how do I run memtest? The installation guide said I could run memtest

ivazquez from Konica Minolta website
ivazquez, http://printer.konicaminolta.com/support/current_printers/mc2530dl_sup.htm#Drivers

http://www.memtest.org/
Then ask them for support. It sounds like a bug in the driver.

CoolGuy21, why is it that you are going into SSL handshake ?

i dont know its from the web interface i think

ivazquez, thanks, but do you mean the official Fedora installation guide is screwed

openbysource, what do we do?

Yes. Log a bug.

ivazquez, OK. Off to bugzilla. Thanks!

CoolGuy21, look for open source printer drivers here http://www.cups.org/ppd.php
