2 encrypted VG's on 1 disk - HOW?
by johhny_at_poland77 07 May '11

07 May '11

I don't think it's a "distro related" issue, so i'm posting it here too: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11289/how-to-install-fedoraubuntu-w… what am i missing? why doesn't GRUB offer the 2 distros@boot, why is it only offering only 1?? why doesn't it sees the other one?? Thanks for any help...

Wallet mysteries
by Timothy Murphy 07 May '11

07 May '11

Is there a one-page explanation of wallet (actually I am using KDE Wallet) anywhere? On one laptop I have to give my wallet password everytime I go to my news account at news.eternal-september.org ; on my other laptop I am not asked for this. What is the explanation? And how can I stop this request being made?

anyone running android sdk to talk to a real phone on fedora 14?
by Tom Horsley 07 May '11

07 May '11

I can't figure out if this is a kernel problem or what (though I lean towards kernel since it works one way immediately after powering up the system and a different way after that). If I plug in my samsung intercept phone right after powering off then powering back up and booting fedora 14, I see this show up in /var/log/messages: Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.131064] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.354901] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=681c Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.354905] usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Apr 23 22:31:52 zooty kernel: [ 242.374157] usb 2-3: can't set config #1, error -71 And lsusb shows this: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04e8:681c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy Portal/Spica Android Phone which isn't really right as it is an Intercept, not a Galaxy.

No matter how many times I plug in in after that, I'll see the same thing. On the other hand, an ancient crappy system I have with only usb 1 ports seems to work fine. It detects a communications device and creates a /dev/ttyACM0 (or something like that) as well as a storage device for the SD card. Does this sound like something I should report as a kernel bug?

migrating volumes -- Recipes? Critiques?
by Joel Rees 07 May '11

07 May '11

I'm finding my /var partition kind of tight, so I thought I'd ease the crush and (avoid fragmentation) by making a new partition for just /var/cache and moving all the stuff in /var/cache over. (Yeah, this is all under LVM, so I could just make the /var partition bigger, but my home and /usr partitions are already splintered a bit as it is.) So I made the new partition and used tar --acls --atime-preserve --numeric-owner --selinux --xattrs -cf cacheball /var/cache and, in /mnt, with the new partition mounted there, tar --acls --atime-preserve --numeric-owner --selinux --xattrs --preserve-permissions --preserve-order xf cacheball /var/cache checked the results, and re-booted. X11 doesn't want to come up, just sits there with the pointer in the middle of the screen. Possibly relevant stuff from /var/log/messages: ------------------------------------- ay 5 13:25:42 fed gnome-session[2561]: WARNING: Client '/org/gnome/SessionManager/Client1' failed to reply before timeout May 5 13:25:42 fed smartd[2414]: smartd received signal 15: Terminated May 5 13:25:42 fed smartd[2414]: smartd is exiting (exit status 0) May 5 13:25:42 fed gnome-session[2561]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop': 検索ディレクトリには妥当なキー・ファイルがありませんでした May 5 13:25:42 fed gnome-session[2561]: WARNING: Unable to find desktop file 'gnome-at-spi-registryd-wrapper.desktop.desktop': 検索ディレクトリには妥当なキー・ファイルがありませんでした ------------------------------------- Any thoughts? I'm probably going to go ahead and drop the new partition and just expand /var, but I suspect this has to do with selinux, which I've been avoiding learning how to do right. Joel Rees

Recent fc13 libburn update
by Bill Davidsen 07 May '11

07 May '11

Since I installed the update my Blu-ray burner burns perfect DVDs. Previously they didn't read well in DVD drives and were not reliable. Backed up rather a bunch of material this weekend, verified each media on another system, all ten perfect. I see nothing in the documentation which suggests this should happen, but I'm happy. Same hardware and batch of DVD media, used to have a 20% reject rate. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

Parallel printer on Fedora 15
by JUSTIN TAYLOR 07 May '11

07 May '11

I recently upgraded from Fedora 14 to 15 via yum. After the upgrade, my parallel-attached HP1100 printer no longer worked. I deleted the printer, thinking I would just rebuild it, but I do not see an option to add a parallel printer. Am I overlooking the obvious? TIA Fedora 15 Linux 2.6.38.5-22.fc15.i686 KDE 4.6.2

skype steals sound card

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I am wondering how to prevent skype from stealing the soud card everytime some of my contacts connect (even if he does not ring me)? i.e.: a contact open skype while I am listening to some music, the music is cut and I have to close skype (which is in stand-by) if I want to recover my music Thanks for every suggestion. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris Descartes Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3D0skACgkQdE6C2dhV2JV6EwCfYZ1sTiDpiJbNVomNFiNHKqiz 7xIAnAuHr3uF4ydGATNe4ZK4JuTXkLr5 =YX4W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

compat-wireless repo anywhere?
by Tom Horsley 06 May '11

06 May '11

In the saga of my quest to get a cheap USB wi-fi dongle to work as an access point, I was eventually led to the compat-wireless code: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download I'm just curious if anyone out there has a fedora repo for this stuff so I wouldn't have to build from source. I suspect the answer is no, because it would sure be a lot of work to keep up with all the snapshots and deal with build errors, but I thought I'd ask just in case :-). The prospect of making my dongle work does seem to be looking up. I suspect by the time fedora 16 is using a 2.6.39 or greater kernel, it may just function out of the box. Full story at: http://home.comcast.net/~tomhorsley/hardware/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.html Eventually maybe I can have a portable hot spot. A bootable live USB stick with the wi-fi drivers, and the USB dongle itself. Turn any public computer with a wired internet connection into a wi-fi hot spot by rebooting with the live USB and plugging in the wi-fi dongle (now if only I could get a wi-fi dongle that also had a 4 gig flash drive, I'd really be set :-).
