yumdownloader --source failure and livna
by Mike Williams 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Someone else's mention of livna issues made me realize the cause of a problem. When trying to get a source rpm yumdownloader was failing as follows: yumdownloader --destdir /home/mike/src/selinux/audit --source audit Enabling livna-source repository Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist-source error was 14: PYCURL ERROR 7 - "" Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: livna-source. Please verify its path and try again Setting enabled=0 in /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo resulted in yumdownloader working. It seems odd that yumdownloader should fail with an error for a repo that was not required for the package in question. Even stranger, this problem occurs with enabled=1 under [livna] and enabled=0 under [livna-source] Mike

New distribution release at Distrowatch, formerly Fedora Remix
by Antonio Olivares 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Dear fellow Fedora users, I stumbled upon a new distro release at Distrowatch, called FusionLinux, http://fusionlinux.org/ I see many good things Formerly known as Fedora Community remix, Fusion Linux is a union between Fedora, RPM Fusion repository and a few extra bits. It is a installable live DVD/USB image that includes multimedia functionality out of the box with added desktop tweaks for better usability and additional software. Fusion Linux is 100% compatible with Fedora. It is like Omega right? <Quote> There is a bug that is preventing anybody who wants to create Fedora Respin or Remix with updated Fedora 13 packages. If anybody in Fedora community knows of a workaround for this bug I would really appreciate if you could share. Is there a way to create Fedora Respin or Remix with older versions of NetworkManager so that Anaconda installer doesn’t crash? * Bug 628235 – Anaconda installer crashes with latest updated anaconda on Fedora 13 </Quote> Hope all is well, since I have not heard from Omega for a while. Hope all is well Valent+(other contributors), great job and hope you find a fix for that Anaconda bug. Regards, Antonio

Problem with gvfs
by JD 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

I connected my kodak camera to usb, and this error banner popped up, saying: Unable to mount KODAK EasyShare V1253 Zoom Digital Camera Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device However, two icons appear on the desktop. Both are named: KODAK EasyShare V1253 Zoom Digital Camera One is for the small internal storage (a few hundred megabytes) and the other is for the 8GB flash card. Browsing the 8GB flash, I am unable to view the videos. Double clicking on the the video icon and "movie player" pops up the error banner: An error occurred Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file. So I tried to explicitly open it with VLC. VLC popped up the error banner: File reading failed: VLC could not open the file "/home/jd/.gvfs/gphoto2 mount on usb%3A002,006/store_00010001/DCIM/100V1253/000_0018.MOV". Your input can't be opened: VLC unable to open the MRL 'file:///home/jd/.gvfs/gphoto2%20mount%20on%20usb%253A002%2C006/store_00010001/DCIM/100V1253/000_0018.MOV'. Check the log for details. $ ls -la ~ | grep gvfs /bin/ls: cannot access /sdb3/home/jd/.gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs/ So, on the face of it, it looks like it might be a gvfs problem. $ rpm -q gvfs gvfs-1.6.2-1.fc13.i686 This update came in a couple of days ago. Can anyone shed any light on this?

clone current config fc13 with live usb
by Any Joe 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

A newbie here.. I have an FC13 on my laptop HD working perfectly with several customizations and making it a web server. I would like to make a sort of "mini" clone as a live USB stick with the same configuration [customized FC13 on HD] ================================== My issue is: the whole FC13 including data is less than 5GB. I have the rest of the hard disk (partition) as 15GB. How do I replicate the live image (current FC13 on my laptop) on a 8GB USB stick? [as possible I do not want to resize the partition on hard disk from 15GB to to say 7GB]. So I can run on different machines by booting from USB stick and not installing, with same config ========================================== Thanks a bunch in advance.

06 Sep '10

I have a nice Dell laptop with FC13 on it. Not sure if it ever worked, but now, when I do either suspend OR hibernate, when I open it back up, it is locked up.. have to hit the OFF switch & reboot.. I've seen messages on fc12, but not sure I've seen one about fc13.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

size discrepancy after tarring a dir
by JD 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

I have two mounted disks, both ext3 mounted as /sdb1 /sdc1 On /sdb1 I have a directory, let's call it dirx. 1. rm -rf /sdc1/dirx 2. cd /sdb1 3. tar cf - dirx | tar -C /sdc1 -xpf - Neither dir (/sdb1 and /sdc1) are not accessed by any programs other than the tar program (and of course /sdb1 is the shell's CWD). The shell's history file is in my home dir. After tar: 4. du -sk dirx /sdc1/dirx 2904536 /sdc1/dirx 2802124 dirx So, why this size inflation by 104MiB ? I repeated the process twice. Same difference. Other dirs tarred in this way from sdb1 to sdc1 do not show this discrepancy. Dirx contains mp3's.

Users without GDM Login - All Users Permanently Blocked!
by Jeevani W. 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Dear Fedora Support, On my new Fedora installation, I disabled the original user X created with installation with and entry in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf as detailed below. I created a new user Y for myself. However, I reversed this, disabling Y by addoing it as below, and re-enabling X be removing it from gdm.conf. However, the re-enabling by removing from gdm.conf doesn't work, and now I find myself with no enabled login from the GDM login screen, and thus unable to login to my system at all. I booted the system from the live-CD and mounted the /etc file system, then tried to remove any occurances that might be still blocking one of my users, with no success. Seems like once you enter a user to block into /etc/gdm/gdn.conf it does other configurations that permenently disables this user. Please, please could you tell me what I need to do re-enable one of my users from a live-cd login and /etc/mount. Alternatively, how can I create ANY user, or enable root login, to get into my system in some way at all?

To remove these users from the greeter window, you can edit /etc/gdm/gdm.schema and find the following section: <schema> <key>greeter/Exclude</key> <signature>s</signature> <default>bin,root,daemon,adm,lp,sync,shutdown,halt,mail,news,uucp,operato r,nobody,nobody4,noaccess,postgres,pvm,rpm,nfsnobody,pcap</default> </schema> Simply add the usernames of the people you want to exclude there, separated by commas. Alternatively, right under that, there is another section where you can disable the list entirely: <schema> <key>greeter/IncludeAll</key> <signature>b</signature> <default>true</default> </schema> Change the 'true' value to 'false' and any user sitting at the console will be forced to actually type their username to login. After making changes to this file, you will need to restart gdm. You can do this very easily if logged in remotely: # init 3 (count to 10) # init 5 Note that if you keep the list, each new user you add will have to have their username added to the exclusion list in that file to be removed from the list you see in the greeter.
