I finally found the problem - it was a bad DVD burn - a good DVD did not give the problem! Very sorry for the noise. -- mike c

Sound Juicer offers no profiles
by Matthew Saltzman 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

I'm new to music management in Fedora. I'm trying to rip a CD to MP3 format using Sound Juicer in F15. When I open SJ, it pops up a dialog that says: The currently selected audio profile is not available on your installation. and offers me a chance to Quit or Change Profile. If I try to change profile, the CD is opened and the preferences window opens. The CD Drive selector is blank, but choosing it lists the only CD drive in the machine. After selecting that, the selector remains blank, which seems odd. But the real problem is, the Output Format selector lists no options at all. I expected some options available by default, as described in the help for SJ. Any idea what I've done wrong? TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Mathematical Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

How to set a default network connection in FC15
by Abu Attar Musharih 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Dear List, I connect to the internet via wireless. There are two available connections, the first one is set up by myself (insert IP etc), the other is automatically found by the network manager. The problem is, the network manager sometimes changes the connection to the automatically found one and creates problem as it needs proxy. I want to make the connection which I set as a default so the manager can not change it automatically. I clicked the network icon next to the battery and schrolled down to newtwork setting but could not find the way. Any pointers? Thanks in advance.

Blinking cursor after reboot with Preupgrade
by Richard Shaw 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Since I know I don't have enough ram to do a fresh install I'm trying to upgrade my old EEEPC 701 from F13 to F15 via Preupgrade. I ran preupgrade-cli from runlevel 3 to maximize the amount of ram available at everything appears to run fine prior to the reboot. When I try to run the upgrade from GRUB upon reboot nothing happens. I just get a blinking cursor in the upper left and it sits with no disk activity. Choosing the previous Kernel from GRUB and it boots up fine to F13. Any ideas? Thanks, Richard

Disk encryption using ecryptfs fails: "You do not own that encrypted directory"
by Clemens Eisserer 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Hi, A friend of mine told me ubuntu offers a ecryptfs based solution, where only a directory is encrypted (therefor no need for seperate partitions or ugly image files),and which is mounted automatically using the user's password at logon time. I discovered with Fedora-15 I can do the same using ecryptfs and the appropriate pam module. I used the tutorial at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EcryptfsAuthConfig, but everytime I try to create a private encrypted folder, I get the error attached at the end of the email. Any ideas whats going wrong? Thank you in advance, Clemens [ce@localhost ~]$ ecryptfs-setup-private ............ /sbin/restorecon /sbin/restorecon Done configuring. Testing mount/write/umount/read... ....... You do not own that encrypted directory ERROR: Could not mount private ecryptfs directory

spaceballs...
by DJ Delorie 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

Is there a standard for how multi-axis trackballs (spaceballs) interact with X? Are they common enough to "just work" now or is it the usual proprietary-hardware-nightmare still? The common trackball seems to have the ball, some scrollwheel replacement and a bunch of buttons. It would be nice to be able to *rotate* the ball, or push it in various directions, etc. But only if there's a sane mapping to X events.

problem mounting a cifs share at boot in f15
by Gianluca Cecchi 06 Jul '11

06 Jul '11

In /etc/fstab in both f14 and f15 I have this entry: \\XXX\YYY\ZZZ /share cifs credentials=/etc/filename,uid=500,workgroup=mydomain.dom 0 0 But in F14 it correctly mounts on boot, while in F15 it fails. I get this in /var/log/messages: Jul 6 10:38:42 mypc systemd[1]: share.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=1 Jul 6 10:38:42 mypc systemd[1]: Job remote-fs.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. Jul 6 10:38:42 mypc systemd[1]: Unit share.mount entered failed state. If, after boot, I run mount /share it mounts correctly... What do I have to change? Thanks in advance, Gianluca
