Fedora Core - Troubleshooting

As of this writing (5 November 2006), FC6 has just recently been released, and some Scribus-related issues are present. The first thing you must do, of course, is to recompile Scribus under FC6. Alternatively, there is a much more up-to-date RPM (1.3.3.4) as part of the repository -- just 'yum install scribus'.

Printing

Printing from Scribus may be broken, if you use the same method and settings from FC5. It seems to generate an error message and no output.

The fix for this is to check the box for Alternative Printing Command' then in the Command text box enter

lp -dname-of-your-printer

Adobe Reader

If you use either the tar.gz or .rpm files for Adobe Reader 7.08, it will not work. The fix for this is open /usr/bin/acroread as root (or with sudo) into a text editor (this will be a link to the "real" file).
