Re: FC15 beta testing result by my 76-year old uncle

Hi Andy


 Cheese/skype, but not image


 * logitech quickcam express doesn't work -- light goes on in
 I don't know about it specifically, but when I use my USB microscope I use
 Camorama.  Notice though it has no UI to select device, you have to give a
 switch --device=/dev/video1 on commandline if it's not the first video
 device.  It also might be worth a try.

Found this 1 year old kernel bug, it affects several cameras

FC15 beta testing result by my 76-year old uncle

2011-04-23 Thread Marius Andreiana
Hi all,

I've setup FC15 beta for  my 76-year old uncle. The major issues
encountered:
* wake up from suspend didn't work on his laptop; on another one does
* logitech quickcam express doesn't work -- light goes on in Cheese/skype,
but not image

Overall, it was pretty ok. Here's my uncle talking with a friend of his:
http://tinypic.com/r/311vvnq/7

He finds very helpful l10n and Chrome translate of english content.

Happy Easter :)
Marius

better Macbook Pro support in F15?

2011-03-06 Thread Marius Andreiana
Hi,

There are quite a few Macbook Pro reported in Fedora. Some of them are easy
fixes, e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652801
(just install a few packages)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580703
(sound it's muted by default)

and other might need further investigation, e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617867

Would it be possible to review these and at least close the easy fixes for
F15?

Thanks,
Marius

Fedora java png parser issue

2010-12-23 Thread Marius Andreiana
Hi all,

Please see this bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665355

Fedora java distribution cannot read some PNG images which work fine in
* Windows java 1.6
* Linux image viewers
* browsers
* identify a.png works: PNG 16x16 16x16+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 1.38KB 0.000u
0:00.000

(more info and code to reproduce in bug).

Do you have any suggestion for workarounds or fix? (besides re-generating
all pngs somehow)

 Just edit /etc/eclipse.ini and set the
 --launcher.XXMaxPermSize and -Xmx384m
 to something meaningful for you. JVM can allocate more memory than a
 predefined
 value which can be controlled by startup parameters. This is what we do in
 eclipse.ini but we can not set this to something really big because people
 can
 use eclipse for things that even require less than the current settings.

solved, thanks!

does fedora maven eclipse plugin work?

Hi,

Trying to clarify this here instead of bugzilla...

After a

eclipse-dtp eclipse-emf eclipse-jdt eclipse-mylyn eclipse-mylyn-java
eclipse-platform eclipse-pydev eclipse-pydev-mylyn eclipse-subclipse
eclipse-svnkit maven-eclipse-plugin

and using eclipse with a new user account, it doesn't appear to have the
plugin setup. e.g. File - Import - Maven is missing. File - New - Other
- Maven is also missing.

 I believe you are a bit mistaken. maven-eclipse-plugin is plugin *for*
 maven to support creating eclipse project files from pom.xml [1]

 There must be other package you are looking for, but I'll let someone
 else answer that part of you inquiry (since I have no idea :-) ).

Ah, I was looking for http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/ , guess this isn't
packaged

handling env variables like JAVA_HOME, M2_HOME...

2010-10-17 Thread Marius Andreiana
How can Fedora work out of the box with apps requiring env variables like
JAVA_HOME, M2_HOME ?

Today, even though fedora provides java  maven, one still has to manually
set these vars. Should Fedora java/maven packages set these (e.g. by files
in /etc/profile.d/), while still allowing users to overwrite them in
~/.bash_profile?

 Looks like Chuck missed it, I just committed it to F-14.

Would it be possible please to commit the rest of the patch in the same bug

(the exact location and code lines with issuefix are included)

If this patch gets in later than FC14 as an update, it doesn't help as FC14
can't boot at all now.
