Hard disk trouble
by Ankur Sinha 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

hi, I've plugged in my harddisk via a SATA/IDE to USB converter to my laptop. The device is created as /dev/sdb, but fdisk -l or parted, gparted do not show it as a drive. Here's the dmesg output: > scsi8 : usb-storage 1-2:1.0 > scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB TO I DE/SATA Device 0041 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 > sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 > sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk How do I access my drive? I intend to format it etc. and then set up fedora 13 on it. -- Thanks! Regards, Ankur https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha "FranciscoD"

bonded nic not starting at boot
by Will Yonker 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hello all, I am running fedora 12 and have two bonded interfaces. Everything works fine if I manually start my bonded interface (bond0). It also works fine if I put (ifup bond0) in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. However, it refuses to start on boot otherwise and rc.local is kinda late in the boot sequence. Things that require the network to be running become very unhappy. NM is not running so that can not be interfering. I have three systems all using Intel NICs but otherwise different hardware. They are all having this issue. What am I missing (ID 10 T error probably)? As always, any help would be appreciated. Here is some system information: # chkconfig|grep Network NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off # uname -a Linux test 2.6.32.19-163.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 11:38:54 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias bond0 bonding options bond0 miimon=100 mode=4 # cat ifcfg-bond0 DEVICE=bond0 IPADDR=10.64.236.67 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.64.236.0 BROADCAST=10.64.236.255 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none USERCTL=no BONDING_OPTS="miimon=100 mode=4" NM_CONTROLLED=no GATEWAY=10.64.236.1 TYPE=Ethernet IPV6INIT=no NAME="system bond0" IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes # cat ifcfg-eth0 # Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) DEVICE=eth0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=00:14:4F:78:4D:64 TYPE=Ethernet NM_CONTROLLED=no IPV6INIT=no NAME="system eth0" UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03 # cat ifcfg-eth1 # Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) DEVICE=eth1 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=00:14:4F:78:4D:65 NM_CONTROLLED=no TYPE=Ethernet IPV6INIT=no NAME="system eth1" # ifconfig bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:4F:78:4D:64 inet addr:10.64.236.67 Bcast:10.64.236.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::214:4fff:fe78:4d64/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1097 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:658 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:141477 (138.1 KiB) TX bytes:137257 (134.0 KiB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:4F:78:4D:64 UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:582 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:271 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:77525 (75.7 KiB) TX bytes:56514 (55.1 KiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:4F:78:4D:64 UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:516 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:388 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:64012 (62.5 KiB) TX bytes:80977 (79.0 KiB) --- Will Y. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

F12/13: Gnome Desktop Session saves - do not work
by Dan Thurman 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I am getting all sorts of wierd problems trying to get the gnome desktop sessions save to work, and it does not work most of the time or at least I cannot save the durn thing at least once you know, like the Ronco: "Save it and forget it!" sort of thing... ok, ok, so I embellished it. When is this gonna get fixed - or - shall I ask, has anyone else besides me have an issue with this? Sigh... Ubuntu got it right, so when is Fedora gonna get it right? Fedora is my favorite distro but come on, it has not worked right since F9 (barely), at least for me... grumbling....

Ripping CDs to ALAC
by SternData 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I currently rip my CDs into flac using "Audio CD Extractor" and, having installed Fluke on my Mac, can play them using iTunes. I've also discovered that Rhythmbox can play ALAC encoded .m4a files. Does anyone have a profile for Audio CD Extractor that directly creates lossless ALAC files in an .m4a wrapper? -- -- Steve

gtkam
by Walter Cazzola 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi all, I'm just passed to the fedora flavor of linux after a more than 5 years using mandrake/mandriva. I'm pretty happy with the passage but I'm still looking for some of the applications I was using with mandriva or a good replacement. I was used to download pictures from my camera by using gtkam but yum can't find it. I tried to install the mandriva version but it breaks the dependencies. Can I install gtkam on my fedora and if yes how? otherwise does it exist a good alternative to it better if for kde. Thanks for the help Walter -- Walter Cazzola, PhD - Assistant Professor, DICo, University of Milano E-mail cazzola(a)dico.unimi.it Ph.: +39 02 503 16300 Fax: +39 02 503 16253 Â· Â· Â· ---------------------------- Â· Â· Â· ---------------------------- Â· Â· Â· ... recursive: adjective, see recursive ...

Suspend "lid switch" & NetworkManager
by d p 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I find that the following update causes suspend/resume to fail: ========================================================================== Updating: NetworkManager i686 1:0.8.1-4.git20100817.fc13 NetworkManager-glib i686 1:0.8.1-4.git20100817.fc13 NetworkManager-gnome i686 1:0.8.1-4.git20100817.fc13 ========================================================================== The suspend appears to happen normally, but resume seems to do very little, and ends with a blank screen. I think it makes no entry in "messages". I haven't noticed anyone else reporting this. The laptop is Dell 9400: Nvidia 7900GS, Kernel 6.33.8-149.fc13.i686.PAE Thanks ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Activ8me Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________

New 2.6.34 kernel kills my system in lirc_imon driver
by Tom Horsley 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

This is what I love about the ever flexible, change on any random whim, driver model in linux - the changes are so thoroughly tested on every piece of hardware in the universe before release :-). For the 4th time now, a new kernel has killed my system in the exact same driver: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629980 Fortunately, I'm really good at recognizing this bug now, having had so much practice over the years...

Lots of mirror errors on yum
by Edmon Begoli 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi, When I recently run yum install on my virtual Fedora 13 (my test machine) I get into lots of 404 http errors on mirrors. I suspect that this has to do something with this Fedora not being as frequently updated as my physical one, so I would like to know if there is something I can do with my yum to eliminate these inaccessible mirrors. Thank you in advance, Edmon

[OT] general C++ question
by Christoph Höger 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi all, I just learned about closures in the Boost library and wanted to write some shorter code. To test, I used the following snippet: #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/function.hpp> #include <boost/bind.hpp> class FakeVisitor { public: virtual void visit(int e) {} virtual void visit(std::string e) = 0; }; template <typename T> class GenericVisitor : public FakeVisitor { public: boost::function<void (T e)> f; virtual void visit(T e) { f(e); } }; void print(int a, int i) { std::cout << a << ":" << i << std::endl; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { GenericVisitor<int> v; v.f = boost::bind(&print, 0, _1); v.visit((int) 1); v.visit(std::string("hallo")); //boost::bind(print, 1, _1)(2); } Apparently, it does not work. Does anyone know why GenericVisitor<int> does not inherit visit(std::string)?

Changing permissions to LVM block device using udev rules
by Roberto Fichera 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hi All in the list, I'm just fighting with udev rules in a F13 environment about setting permissions (group, owner and mode) to certain block devices created from a LVM storage so that they become persistent across reboots. Does anyone give me some hints. Thanks in advance. Roberto Fichera.
