Fedora 20 upgrade

yearly upgrade cycle...

now on Fedora 20

also decided to try x64, and see the full 8 gig ram on my main system!

no more eap.

looking good so far;

minecraft working on full x64 java;  perhaps a bit slower, but running.

scanner/printer from epson : Artisan 730   working over wireless network!  These rpms from the epson site:

  • iscan-data-1.26.0-1.noarch.rpm
  • iscan-network-nt-1.1.1-1.x86_64.rpm
  • iscan-2.29.3-1.usb0.1.ltdl7.x86_64.rpm
  • epson-inkjet-printer-201112w-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm

note: to get network scanning, need to edit 
  • /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf
not any of the "epson" conf files.  There is a more recent "generic" printer driver, but it does not have any settings to use the small photo tray.

mythtv with old Hauppauge external usb video0; needed to update to "testing" from rpmfusion at this time (by the time you read this, may work with default set of rpms)

  • mencoder-1.1-18.20140111svn.fc20.x86_64.rpm  
  • mplayer-common-1.1-18.20140111svn.fc20.x86_64.rpm


firefox, chrome, gimp

all ok so far
