Thank you. It worked well.
I've been using the list archives for almost
all my troubleshooting. I am very interested
in seeing that discussion, but I have not
been able to find it yet. Still looking.
From my perspective I can't imagine anybody
thinking that is a good idea.

Obsolete RPMs
by Dave Cross
I've upgraded a couple of systems from F14 to F15 using preupgrade.
Everything seems to have gone fine.
I'm slowly getting used to GNOME 3 and I'm sure that it will make
sense to me one day.
But it strikes me that there will now be a number of obsolete RPMs
hanging around on my system. These will be the RPMs relating to
features used in GNOME 2 but not in GNOME 3. I'm thinking of things
like compiz and all of the applets. Is there any reason why I
shouldn't just remove all of these RPMs? Are there any more that I can
remove safely?
Cheers,
Dave....

Paradigm shift going from Gnome2 to Gnome3
by Aaron Konstam
There is a paradigm shift going from Gnome2 to Gnome3 which I have not
seen discussed on this list.
Gnome2 is totally mouse oriented. Everything you want to do you do by
moving the mouse and clicking. Obviously I am rerring to Gnome2 itself
not applications.
However, in Gnome3 a large fraction of actions have been moved to the
keyboard.
This is the same difference as that of creating documents in Word and
Latex. And this change in paradigm used to be a hot topic.
Does anyone out there have an opinion pro or con about this shift that
will no doubt be continued into the future with Gnome?

Network printer detection from wifi client to print-server->router
by Daniele Guerrieri
Hi,
this is my first post on the list; i have a simple question.
I have a usb printer attached to a router which works also as print
server (ip: 192.168.0.50, call this 'print server router');
this print server router is wire linked with another router (using RIP
version 1, for both in and out), which is the gateway to internet, a
router, a dhcp server, and also a wifi access point (192.168.0.1, call
this 'main router').
I've got also:
a) PC 1, eth linked to the main router;
b) PC2, wifi linked to the main router.
So:
when i searched the network printer (using system-config-printer) in
the PC1, it worked very well and quickly found my samsung printer;
when i searched the network printer in the PC2, it couldn't find
anything: but after several trials i found that putting 192.168.0.50
(which is the
ip of the print server router) in the textarea host field in the
system-config-printer->find network printer GUI, the printer was
immediately found and worked very well.
The question is: why do I have to put the ip address in the host field
on the gui when configuring the network printer from PC2 (wifi), when
PC1 (ethernet) doesn't need it?
Maybe there is some conf of Avahi that could be changed?
Thanks,
Daniele Guerrieri

Sound Juicer offers no profiles
by Matthew Saltzman
I'm new to music management in Fedora. I'm trying to rip a CD to MP3
format using Sound Juicer in F15. When I open SJ, it pops up a dialog
that says:
The currently selected audio profile is not available on your
installation.
and offers me a chance to Quit or Change Profile. If I try to change
profile, the CD is opened and the preferences window opens. The CD
Drive selector is blank, but choosing it lists the only CD drive in the
machine. After selecting that, the selector remains blank, which seems
odd.
But the real problem is, the Output Format selector lists no options at
all. I expected some options available by default, as described in the
help for SJ.
Any idea what I've done wrong?
TIA.

gnu linux update question
by Peter G.
It is common knowledge that one does not need to reboot for updates to take
effect in GNU Linux.
However, in actual practice, this is not so. I could cite many examples, but
this should suffice:
On Sunday evening, I installed a new updates-testing version of mesa and then I
suspended the machine for the night. The following Monday morning (yesterday),
I resumed the machine and suspended it again around noon. I again resumed the
machine at about suppertime and _powered_ _it_ _down_ about 2 hours later. An
hour or two after that, I powered it back up and the mesa testing update turned
out to be bad and I was not able to log in. I did not know which program was at
fault, because the bad program had been installed over 24 hours prior, but was
only showing itself to be bad after a power off.
Could someone explain how reboots are not needed in Linux for updates to
_take_, given the evidence to the contrary.

X server in F14 horribly slow
by JD
After upgrading to F14, switching from one workspace to another is
excruciatingly slow!!
I am a gnome user.
Can this be attributed to Gnome or to the X server
or to the ATI Radeon driver?

F15 fails to suspend/hibernate on Thinkpad W510+
by Darryl L. Pierce
Whenever I try to put my laptop into either suspend or hibernate mode
(i.e., close the lid when not plugged in) the laptop _seems_ to be
trying to go to sleep but never quite gets there. The battery light
stays on, the sleep light (crescent moon) light blinks, but there's no
disk activity and the power light stays on.
And nothing short of holding the power button down and forcing a power
off works for bringing the laptop back out of htis state.
Any ideas on what I should or could do to get suspend to work again?
It's a PITA to have to hard shutdown the laptop when I accidentally shut
the lid.
