More liive linuux distributions available
by Aaron Konstam 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

I don't know when this happened but unetbootin-linux-555 is now available. This allows dozens of live Linux distributions to be downloaded onto a USB stick. The new version includes Fedora 15. The yum available unetbootin does not allow this. You can download it from: http://www.unetbootin.sourceforge.net This allowed me to download the latest Ubuntu version. I admit the interface as at leas as weird as Gnome 3. -- ======================================================================= Never leave anything to chance; make sure all your crimes are premeditated. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net

Re: F14, google-chrome won't launch after yum update

Daniel J Walsh replied >This is definitely something in SELinux. The current upstream google >chrome is a little strange from an SELinux point of view. Have you >tried chromium? >http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium well, no. Advice on this llist over last year or so is that google-chrome is better. I can always fall back on firefox.... At least I know my problem is Selinux. And in this case evidently something that can't be fixed. I would think this will be viewed by many fedora users as a real black mark on Selinux. Unless google-chrome is at fault. More detail on how I was running: from a backup copy of F!4 I had just done a yum update. If I now go back to my main F14 (and dont do the yum update) then google-chrome works as it has been. so it was some glltch in the yum update Jack

How to get both T520 trackpoint and touchpad working in F15
by Alexander Volovics 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

I am trying to get both trackpoint and touchpad of the Lenovo T520 UltraNav working, preferably at the same time as under Windows 7. cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows: - SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad - TPPS/2 IBM Trackpoint After install of F15 the trackpoint works but not the touchpad. The scroll feature of the trackpoint (hold down middle button and move the stick) does not work. After installing 'gpointing-device-settings' the trackpoint can be configured so that scrolling with 'middle button & stick does work. I can however find no way to get the touchpad working. This would make scrolling much easier. Can anybody tell me the magic incantation. Alexander

difference between "ping -I INTERFACE" and "ping -I IPADDRESS" ?
by Franta Hanzlík 01 Oct '11

(sorry if this mail arrive in this list once more, I sent it by mistake cca 90 minutes ago from unregistered e/mail address) hello Fedora networking gurus, I always thought that using ping with specifying source interface is exact equivalent as specifying its IP address - but it is evidently not true. What I'm getting on my Linux Fedora 14 i686 box: # ping -I 10.128.254.2 -c 3 -nn 90.183.38.60; echo -e '\n\n';\ > ping -I eth1 -c 3 -nn 90.183.38.60 PING 90.183.38.60 (90.183.38.60) from 10.128.254.2 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 90.183.38.60: icmp_req=1 ttl=56 time=4.66 ms 64 bytes from 90.183.38.60: icmp_req=2 ttl=56 time=12.7 ms 64 bytes from 90.183.38.60: icmp_req=3 ttl=56 time=4.50 ms --- 90.183.38.60 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 4.502/7.310/12.769/3.861 ms PING 90.183.38.60 (90.183.38.60) from 10.128.254.2 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data. >From 10.128.254.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable >From 10.128.254.2 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 10.128.254.2 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable --- 90.183.38.60 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 1999ms pipe 3 Interface eth1 has IP address 10.128.254.2 : # ip addr show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:30:4f:39:4b:49 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.128.254.2/29 brd 10.128.254.7 scope global eth1 3: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:08:c7:25:c7:53 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.3.60.10/24 brd 10.3.60.255 scope global eth2 4: eth3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:08:c7:19:3b:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.1.254/24 brd 10.0.1.255 scope global eth3 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1e:8c:94:05:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.254/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0 6: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 3 link/ppp inet 90.187.57.21 peer 78.103.210.66/32 scope global ppp0 At all interfaces are only IPv4 addresses, they have not any IP aliases, iptables are stopped. eth1 is NATed 1:1 to public IP at ISP site. Know anyone why ping (from iputils-20100418-3.fc14.i686 package) behaves in such way? May this be somehow related with system routin tables? Thanks, Franta

Developers responsibillity to Fedora Users
by Aaron Konstam 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

Alan Cox is exactly right that the users of Fedora products get them free and one can make a strong case that therefore Fedora developers have no responsibility to listen to user's complaints. However, the Fedora users provide a service to the ReHat company of identifying bugs that otherwise would show up to annoy the paying users of RedHat Enterprise . This is probably a weak argument to support the developers of Fedora software listening to its users but what is clear is the current situation leaves a bad taste in the mouths of the current Fedora user-base. Clearly developers can ignore our complaints, but I have no evidence that the paying Enterprise customers will be more tolerant of the strange direction that RedHat is taking. -- ======================================================================= timesharing, n: An access method whereby one computer abuses many people. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam(a)sbcglobal.net
