fedora web sites under attack?
by Valent Turkovic 05 May '11

05 May '11

I can't access http://planet.fedoraproject.org/ http://repos.fedorapeople.org/ and some other fedora web sites. Is this some kind of attack or are they down due to maintenance?

Audio CD ripper -
by Bob Goodwin 04 May '11

04 May '11

I have a number of CD's that I need to transfer to flash drives. I did this a few months ago but can't recall what I used to do the job? K3B works but it's rather cumbersome to use. I see several other app's that look as though they should work but don't, e.g. grip, sound-juicer, asunder. They seem to have trouble finding the cdrom drive and I'm not sure they are any faster to use than K3B. But it seems they ought to work. [bobg@box9 ~]$ asunder Error: Couldn't open /dev/cdrom Error: Couldn't open /dev/cdrom Error: Couldn't open /dev/cdrom Grip produces an error message: Err0r: Unable to initialize [/dev/cdrom] Sound-juicer says "Unable to read the CD" There is no problem listing contents: [bobg@box9 media]$ ll total 8 drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Feb 13 11:57 disk drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Feb 13 11:59 disk-1 Any suggestions?

SELinux for mock
by Piscium 04 May '11

04 May '11

I like to rebuild a number of Fedora source packages for performance and some tweaking. In the past I have used rpmbuild for that purpose, but this weekend I started using mock. So far I built about a dozen source packages successfully, but then got a SELinux snag when building glibc (I am using the targeted policy on F14). The wiki has instructions on how to set SELinux for mock: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Mock_to_test_package_builds#SELinux_pol… I followed the instructions but the result of running Make was different from the expected, there was an error. [1]. My question is if the policy files of the wiki page are current? They are three years old, which is a long time in dog years or Fedora years! I wonder if anybody could tell me where to get updated policy files as I am not proficient on SELinux? Or maybe can I just ignore the error and use what I got as a .pp file was created? (I am using this after installing mock so if there was no error the next step per the wiki would be: restorecon -R /var/lib/mock /usr/bin/mock I have not done the above yet.) --------- [1] [root@d3000 selinux.local]# make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile PackageMaintainers_MockTricks_mock.if:13: Error: duplicate definition of mock_domtrans().

MailX Fedora14+

How can I set the users mail (mailx) to go to a specified email address automatically. Have tried adding /home/user/.forard with content of: some(a)ispemail.com This is so users cron jobs results\errors can be collected remotely. The root was done using /etc/aliases -- Regards, Frank Murphy UTF_8 Encoded Friend of Fedora

mouse wheel events?
by Tom Horsley 04 May '11

04 May '11

Is there something in evdev somewhere that needs tweaking for mouse wheel events? It seems like I have to furiously spin the wheel (actually it is a ring around the ball on my trackball) for apps to pay attention and start scrolling. If I run xev, however, I see the button 5 and 4 press and release events without any furious spinning of the mouse. Are toolkits trying to collect enough events to make sure I really meant it before they start scrolling or what? Just curious here (but hoping there is a setting I can tweak :-).

fedora on lenova T520 w nvidia optimus ?
by Genes MailLists 04 May '11

04 May '11

Interesting looking laptop - and the msata drive thing looks like a (reasonably priced) way to add SSD for root partition (leaving regular drive for data). So does anyone know what works/not works ? Esp the Nvidia Optimus NVS 4400m - the dual intel + nvidia graphics. I have not heard much about the VGA switcheroo (assume its needed here) - maybe its possible to disable the intel graphics in BIOS ? If so will nouveau work on this ? Thanks for any insights .. g
