Still waiting for Mageia 5 final release

I have been using Mageia 5 RC version for almost a month as daily usage. Very things work fine for me accept vnstat is not recording data. Watching video, listening to music, doing office work and printing without any problem.

I suffered Chinese input with Mageia 4 and now all things solved.

One thing that I would like to mention is the shutting down time is only 3 seconds. It is the fastest among the version I installed.

Mageia 5 RC

I installed mageia 5 RC almost one month and still waiting for the final version.
I found that when using any java program, the Chinese character turn into square. I search for solution and finally I got it.

1. I make a folder in java lib fonts folder. Name it as fallback.
2. Copy Chinese fonts from usr/share/fonts to the fallback folder.
3. It is done.

Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P205b finally can print in Mageia Linux

I bought this printer about 2 years, can't print under Mageia Linux. Few days ago I accidentally encounter and article that I can download a driver for this printer.
The site url is : http://foo2hbpl.rkkda.com/

I follow the instruction to download the file and install it.
Then set up the printer and found there is a Fiji driver for it.
Everything go so smoothly.

I would like to say Thank You.

Gnome-tweak-tool cannot start in gnome-shell 3.6

I got the problem starting gnome-tweak-tool in gnome-shell 3.6 but can start in fallback mode.

After googling and found the solution as below:

sudo cp  /home/USERNAME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/user-theme@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme.gschema.xml  /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Where USERNAME is login name.
