wireshark under KDE?
by Timothy Murphy 30 Oct '12

30 Oct '12

I'm running Fedora-17/KDE on my laptop, and am trying to run wireshark. I've yum-installed wireshark, wireshark-gnome and wireshark-devel. When I run wireshark (as root) it gets as far as "Registering Python dissectors" and then crashes: ------------------------ [root@rose tim]# wireshark Segmentation fault (core dumped) ------------------------ Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Fixing a crashed disk
by SternData 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

I quite stupidly unplugged my computer today when my foot got tangled in the power strip. On reboot, I was notified Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors Smartctl tells me the problem is at LBA 2014551336 (this is a 2TB disk). Following the info here http://kaivanov.blogspot.com/2010/09/fixing-disk-problems-under-linux-with.… I'm not able to determine what file might be sitting on this block. tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 |grep Block Block count: 472552448 Block size: 4096 Blocks per group: 32768 [root@sds-desk-2 ~]# debugfs debugfs 1.42.3 (14-May-2012) debugfs: open /dev/sda5 debugfs: icheck 235992741 Block Inode number 235992741 8 debugfs: ncheck 8 Inode Pathname This suggests that the problem is not in a currently extant file. I'm now trying the suggestion of writing from /dev/zero to a file in /home while in single users mode. Given that I have 1.5TB to fill, this could take a while. Here's the question: If I just reformat and restore /home from a recent backup, will the disk automatically deal with the sectors pending reallocation?

bc and built-in funcs
by JD 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi all I have: $ rpm -q bc bc-1.06.95-3.fc15.i686 I was searching the web for bc funs to calculate cube roots and other arbitrary roots. Almost all of the func I found assume that bc has the built-in funcs l and e which take a numeric arg. Yet my bc has no such funcs. Is the version above broken?

No Music or Movies Play in F17 - Missing Gstreamer?....
by EGO-II.1 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

I have a Gateway T-6321 that I recently had to re-install Fedora Linux v17 on. I've put just about everything that was on there from before (Totem, Clementine...Thunderbird etc.) but when I try to play movies in Totem or music in Clementine I get errors such as: Clementine: - "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin." Totem: - "A program requires additional plugins to decode this file: The following plugins are required: H.264 decoder MPEG-4 AAC decoder Do you want to search for these now? My problem is when it searches for these it tells me they're already installed? What is the solution for this kind of error? is there a file I need? or a missing piece of this puzzle? Thanx! EGO II

ABRT didn't detect segfaults of usb_modeswitch
by Clemens Eisserer 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi, Running updates-testing I noticed once my usb modem didn't work - caused by usb_mdoeswitch segfaulting 3 times in a row: Oct 29 18:37:27 localhost kernel: [ 23.740625] usb_modeswitch_[1374]: segfault at 7fff0251aff8 ip 000000300087f434 sp 00007fff0251b000 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[3000800000+1ac000] Oct 29 18:38:07 localhost kernel: [ 64.128201] usb_modeswitch_[1515]: segfault at 7fffd8b8ae74 ip 0000003000874b06 sp 00007fffd8b8ae60 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[3000800000+1ac000] Oct 29 18:38:29 localhost kernel: [ 86.373114] usb_modeswitch_[1685]: segfault at 7fff7eb4eff8 ip 00000030008ed629 sp 00007fff7eb4f000 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[3000800000+1ac000] ABRT didn't detect those crashes. Is this due to a technical issue? Is there any way to get the name of the function where usb_modeswitch crashed in the above cases, so I can at least file a bug-report? Thanks, Clemens

Fax to email gateway
by Gary Stainburn 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hi folks. I'm looking to create a fax gateway, either fax to email or fax to program. I've googled this but everything I've looked at it at least 5 years old. I was wondering what people are using these days and what's good now. Gary

With you there Doug. Having seen Windows 8, maybe Autodesk will do an about face and return to UNIX/Linux as its primary platform. Before hiring a contractor, I need to revise old hard copy drawings and completely redo the electrical and lighting layers. The ability to build a list of materials would be a real plus. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights -- users mailing list users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
