Re: How to clean up Python in Fedora 38
I think that the suggestions offered so far (environments, etc.) are all very good, but another approach is to use the Anaconda distribution of Python: https://www.anaconda.com/ I use this distribution precisely to avoid any mixups with the Python files that come with the OS distribution. Note that the use of the Anaconda version of Python doesn't preclude the use of pip, Python environments, etc. On Mon, Sep 4, 2023 at 10:25 PM Javier Perez wrote: > Thanks. > I used plain pip, no sudo stuff. > Time to hunt the . directories. > Thanks! > > On Mon, Sep 4, 2023 at 11:08 AM Jonathan Billings > wrote: > >> On Sep 4, 2023, at 11:35, Javier Perez wrote: >> > I installed Pycharm to learn python, installed some libraries using >> pip, totally sure I must have screwed up something although I have not felt >> the effect yet. >> > >> > My question is, how can I go back to default without reinstalling my >> whole linux setup from scratch?

Thanks, Hugh. I enabled the repo, as per your (untested) suggestion, did the yum update, and voila, I got duplex printing.

Brother HL-5250DN duplex printing: loves me, loves me not, ...
Greetings. I've got a brother HL-5250DN printer on my local network, and it is *currently* not doing duplex printing under Fedora 20. I've seen discussions of a similar problem in various places. The responses to the problem seem to fall into several categories: (1) Duplex printing must be *enabled* on the printer before it will print duplex. (2) Some printers are not well-supported under linux. You should check the Open Printing database (or similar). (3) Get the printer driver from Brother. Regarding (1), the duplex option *is* enabled on the printer, and it *does* print in duplex from Windows and Mac systems (and others -- see below). Regarding (2), the printer printed in duplex just fine through various versions of Fedora, up through Fedora 18 (the last version I had installed prior to Fedora 20). Furthermore, it prints duplex just fine from an Ubuntu 14.04 system that I have running in VirtualBox on my Fedora machine. In all cases the duplex printing capability happened without my having to expend any brain power at all on the issue: it just worked. Regarding (3), I've tried that, but it didn't appear to help. So far as I can tell, my problems are pretty similar to those reported by other people. One possibly novel thing: I noticed, without paying close attention, that some of the recent updates to Fedora 20 have been CUPS-related. That motivated me to roll the dice and try duplex printing again. And shazam! It worked! If that were the end of the story, I wouldn't bother to tell it. The printer once again does *not* print duplex. I'm assuming that the problem must have been fixed by one CUPS-related upgrade and broken again by a later one.

You need to make the changes in /etc/default/grub, and then update the
Grub configuration. If you make the changes in /boot they will be
overwritten the next time you update the kernel.
So,
1. Make the changes in /etc/default/grub
2. Run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf (--- only UEFI
systems)
And that's it!
Thanks, Jorge. That's very helpful. Unfortunately, it appears that the fedup
procedure doesn't provide the file /etc/default/grub, but I did find some
words about creating one at:

Problem with nvidia driver for latest f17 kernel
Greetings. It appears that I don't have an nvidia kernel module for the latest kernel for f17. Please see the appended for some details about my system. The system boots fine into run-level 3 with the latest kernel, but it hangs forever when I try to boot into run-level 5. Fortunately, the system also boots fine into run-level 5 with the penultimate kernel, which I'm using at the moment. I installed the *kmod-nvidia stuff shortly after f17 appeared, and I've been happily sleep-walking through kernel updates ever since. Now I've been rudely awakened. I've rebooted the system several times, on the theory that one of the *kmod packages would notice the version mismatch and compile a new module. That hasn't happened so far. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Any comments?

Re: Symbolic computation on Fedora
At the moment I am short on time, so cannot experiment with sage. That said, Fedora has a long standing packaging effort for SAGE[1]. It seems to me sage needs a TeXLive-like distribution model to be not so intimidating for new users. This however does not make the effort required to include it in Linux distribution respositories any simpler. I'll try compiling my own in a few weeks when I have some more time and report back. Hi, Suvayu. It's possible I was just lucky enough to have all the required dependencies already installed, but in my case it took less than a minute of my own time to download and build sage (e.g., wget ...; make). It did take a lot of time for the file to download and the build to complete, but I didn't have to do anything while these were ongoing. -- Mike -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

So far I have tried maxima, which seems quite good for simple things but often fails to give me any usable results for more complicated cases. Acquiring Mathematica licenses is not feasible at the moment; so my question is what other alternatives have people used and liked? So far I have come across these: 1. SymPy - this seems a bit lacking in features (what I could gather from the Wikipedia page as the project page is rather sparse). 2. Sage - this seems to be quite well mature but non-trivial to maintain an installation. Anyone has any opinions? Hi, Suvayu. My first inclination was to recommend sage, until I saw your assessment of it. I tried it some time ago, mostly out of curiosity, as it seemed like a REALLY nice idea (and at the time I was doing a fair amount of Python). I recall that there was some version of Fedora on which I just couldn't get sage to work at all, although I've forgotten the details. At that point, I lost interest in it. But prompted by your note, I downloaded the sage source (didn't see a binary built for Fedora 17). It took a good long while to download, and it took a much longer time to build (via a simple make command), but it seems to have built successfully on my system (Fedora 17, x86_64). I ran a few of the examples in the sage tutorial, including some with the notebook interface, and everything worked as advertised. I realize that it's dangerous to draw conclusions from a single data point, but maybe the sage developers have solved the maintenance issues. I'd be interested to know what you finally decide to do. -- Mike -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Atheros Ethernet controller with Fedora 17?
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.

Install Fedora 17 onto a PC with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550Ti?
Greetings. I've got a new HP desktop system with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550Ti video card. The system came with Windows 7, but it has a second disk drive, on which I was hoping to install Fedora 17. I've tried installing from the Fedora 17 DVD but have had what is evidently a common problem. I.e., just as the installer appears to be about to launch into the GUI, the monitor goes into sleep mode and never returns. I've seen some discussion on the net about changing kernels, getting the proprietary drivers, modifying xorg.conf, etc., etc., but at installation time I'm stuck with whatever is on the DVD. If you have any suggestions as to how I can work around this problem, please pass 'em along.

Re: Fedora 18 release name
Spherical Cow is really an idiom, and arguably not a normal adjective-noun pair. Justify it all you want, it still sounds like Copying Ubuntu to me. Dudes, it's just a name. Please, focus on technical. I'm late to this (all-important) thread, but I haven't seen anybody mention the origin of the term spherical cow. It's a physics joke, or, maybe better, a joke about physicists. The world is a complicated place, and to make any progress in analyzing it, physicists (and other scientists) have to resort to simplifying assumptions. E.g., the earth and the sun are not really spheres, but if you ignore that geometric subtlety, you can do some reasonable calculations about the gravitational interaction of the sun and the earth. Non-physicists tend to view this approach as a simplistic retreat from reality. Hence, the joke: A physics professor says to the class, consider a spherical cow of mass M. -- Mike -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: no internet connection with Fedora16
From: Joe Zeff j...@zeff.us Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 10:46 AM Hi, Joe. My desktop doesn't use NM, and for a very good reason: it nuked my DNS numbers every time I rebooted until I permanently disabled it. I've not had a single issue of that kind since I went back to using network. I'm beginning to think that resistance is futile and have started to accept the inevitability of NM. OTOH, I run my own name server for my tiny home network and was none too pleased to find NM wiping my name server out of /etc/resolv.conf. I was querying this list about a somewhat-related problem when somebody (don't recall the name offhand) made the brilliant suggestion to mark resolv.conf as immutable. I've added the following to my resolv.conf to remind me of what I did and how to undo it: # # I've marked this file as immutable via: # # chattr +i resolv.conf # # To undo that: # # chattr -i resolv.conf I haven't been mugged by NM since I did this. BTW, I did the same thing to my iptables file to keep some helpful system utility (NM?) from messing with my configuration. -- Mike -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Problems with DNS name server in Fedora 16
Greetings. I just installed Fedora 16 (x86_64) on my home computer today. Not an altogether pleasant experience so far, I must say. I've got one issue in particular that's really puzzling me. [...] I.e., the host utility CAN resolve the name, as can the dig utility (not shown in the examples), but other utilities, such as ping and ssh cannot resolve the name. [...] Check the contents of /etc/resolv.conf on the main system. It probably isn't referencing itself but whatever nameserver your ISP provides. As an example, it should probably look like: search my.lan nameserver 192.168.1.72 nameserver isp.dns.server Very good suggestion. In fact, my resolv.conf DID have an entry for my system, but it was in reverse order. I.e., to use your example, it was: search my.lan nameserver isp.dns.server nameserver 192.168.1.72 I don't understand why the resolver didn't fall through to the second nameserver, but it evidently did not. After I put the nameservers in the order you suggest, everything seems to be working fine! Resolv.conf gets rewritten every time the net initializes, so you may want to: chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf to make it immutable. (Remember to chattr -i if you nned to edit it later.) Another good suggestion. I had forgotten about the immutable attribute. I've set it now. (It's a safe bet that in six months or so I'll be sending a note to the list, whining about how I can't edit resolv.conf ;-) Thanks for your help. -- Mike-- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: Problems with DNS name server in Fedora 16
I don't understand why the resolver didn't fall through to the second nameserver, but it evidently did not. After I put the nameservers in the order you suggest, everything seems to be working fine! Because the multiple servers are only good for the first server failing. Once the first server says I know there isn't any such name defined, it doesn't ask the 2nd server. Yep, that makes perfect sense.

Problems with DNS name server in Fedora 16
Greetings. I just installed Fedora 16 (x86_64) on my home computer today.
Not an altogether pleasant experience so far, I must say.
I've got one issue in particular that's really puzzling me. I use my linux
box as a nameserver for a few other computers at our house, just to save
myself the trouble of copying /etc/hosts files.
I've got a very simple DNS configuration that worked well in Fedora 15. I
added the statement:
controls {};
to the end of /etc/named.conf to disable what appears to be a new feature
(rndc). Otherwise, everything is the same as in Fedora 15, so far as I'm
aware.
Here's an example of the puzzling thing:
$ ping compute-server
ping: unknown host compute-server
$ ssh compute-server
ssh: Could not resolve hostname compute-server: Name or service not known
$ host compute-server
compute-server.my.lan has address 192.168.1.72
$
(I've made my Fedora box authoritative for the domain my.lan. I get the same
results if I use the FQDN in the above examples.)
I.e., the host utility CAN resolve the name, as can the dig utility (not
shown in the examples), but other utilities, such as ping and ssh cannot
resolve the name.
Perhaps even stranger, if I go to one of the other machines in our house,
e.g.:
ssh 192.168.1.72
the utilities such as ping and ssh on the remote system DO resolve our
local names successfully, even though the remote system is using my Fedora box
as the nameserver!
If you can help, please do so.
Thanks,
-- Mike--

Convert sqlite to mysql in f14?
Hi, folks. I've received a sqlite database that I'd like to convert to a mysql database on my Fedora 14 system. It's easy enough to dump the sqlite database, but the resulting file contains some commands that mysql doesn't like. I see that there are commercial tools available to do this kind of conversion, but this is (I hope) a one-time thing for me, so I'd prefer not to spend money on it. If you know of a (free) tool that will reliably do the conversion from sqlite to mysql, will you please send me the relevant information?

Using awstats on Fedora 13
Greetings. I'm trying to use awstats to analyze Apache log files on a Fedora 13 (x86_64) system. When I go to the web page: http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl I consistently get a 403 message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /awstats/awstats.pl on this server. The corresponding entry in the httpd error_log file is: [error] [client ::1] client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl I've done the usual kind of web search, and I've applied a bunch of sure-fire remedies to the problem, none of which has made any difference. I haven't attempted to catalog the suggested solutions, but I can probably dig them up if necessary. I CAN tell you that I've repeatedly restarted httpd, so it isn't like that that's the problem. If you have awstats running in a Fedora 13 environment, please pass along any information that you think might be relevant. Or, if you have a better solution than awstats, I'd like to hear about that.

Re: What's up with bash shell and spaces in filenames?
Hi, Alan. Are you sure that the spaces are causing the error? I.e., if the directory were actually named: Media My Book you'd get the behavior you describe. I don't usually use spaces in file names, but I've never had a problem dealing with spaces (e.g., when I've gotten files with spaces in the names from other people). -- Mike - Original Message From: Alan Evans ame.fed...@gmail.com To: fedora-l...@redhat.com Sent: Mon, May 10, 2010 8:23:54 AM Subject: What's up with bash shell and spaces in filenames? This is an on-again-off-again kind of problem. It usually hits me when it is least convenient, like when I only have shell access to the machine.
