How do I change Printer settings for full access?
For example I want system-config-printer to Root, Owner & the certain group full access without password. I also need to do the same for firefox because even given firefox root privilege it won't install flash. I tried using thunar at root, was able to change permission that way but still required a root password. Yes, I am a new user. I done some research on this but couldn't find it anywhere. Chmod couldn't find the system-config-printer file even with root access.
Here what i used chmod u+x g+rwx o+r /usr/bin/system-config-printer I also saw this file /usr/bin/system-config-printer-applet there as well tried the same thing. Here is what I am using xfce desktop version. Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) NAME=Fedora VERSION="20 (Heisenbug)" ID=fedora VERSION_ID=20 I notice there are other problems with firefox, it won't remember cookies (no it not turn off in the settings) Here is the locations of firefox firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz |

Get the ``adobe-release-<arch>-1.0-1.noarch.rpm““ repo-file http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ → → Select "Yum for Linux (YUM)", and install with : # yum localinstall adobe-release-<arch>-1.0-1.noarch.rpm ( Or : # rpm -Uvh adobe-release-<arch>-1.0-1.noarch.rpm ) Then you can install "flash" : $ yum search flash # yum install <flash-plugin> P.S. : Do not run user applications (like thunar) as root. Root is for "administrative tasks" only. * 'system-config-printer' .. full access without password : Not an option. - |
What about the change ownership?

1) # yum install flash-plugin.<arch> 2) $ cd (~/).mozilla/ && mkdir plugins && cd plugins/ 3) $ cp /usr/lib(64)/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ./ ... Then you can restart firefox, and watch "flash video". ( I'm using firefox-24.8.*esr ). - |

When I changed myself from standard user to administrator, most actions now require my password and not the root. Which is a little easier. For some strange reason the "yum" from adobe flash even if manually installed doesn't work. I did get the flash from yum and it is installed and works. |
Not really solved but I gave up on Fedora to much configuration problems with my system. I removed it, so far I like lubuntu with xfce & lxde desktop that still remains installed with windows 7 dual boot.
