IP address incorrectly assigned on boot
by Geoffrey Leach 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

A system on my local network (pvr) has its IP address in /etc/hosts geoff@pvr[1]->cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 192.168.10.2 pvr.mtranch.com pvr 192.168.10.3 mtranch.mtranch.com mtranch 192.168.10.1 Netgear 198.168.20.5 Homerun Netgear router accessed from pvr via wireless. It has the address 192.168.10.2 reserved and assigned to pvr. Worked fine. Today after booting up the latest kernel, (3.2.2-1.fc16.i686.PAE), the IP address has changed to 192.168.10.5: geoff@pvr[2]->ifconfig wlan0 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr AE:5D:BA:91:67:2D inet addr:192.168.10.5 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::ac5d:baff:fe91:672d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:484 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:462 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 you'll note that it is 192.168.10.5 Not surprisingly, I can't ssh 192.168.10.2, but I can ssh 192.168.10.5 Question: where is this (dynamic?) assignment taking place?

How do I get half my KDE panel back????
by DB 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hi guys & gals, Sorry to bother you with what must be a dead simple thing, but which is bigger than me at the moment! I'm using F15 KDE, & until a week or so ago I had in the right hand part of my Panel the icons for the programs I most use & in the left-hand half, were tags (right titlee??) of any running programs. Somehow, I've managed to erase/remove the left-hand part & I can't find out how to get it back!!! Please can someone tell me a) what this left-hand part of the panel is called & b) how to get it back??? BTW, if anyone knows where/how to get the proper icon for Firefox back & how to put it back into "Internet" from "Lost & found", I'd be grateful!!!! Thanks to you all for any help Dave

Extremely slow LXR indexing with mysql after last update
by Gene Smith 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Don't see any errors but indexing a fairly large set of LXR versions of various programs with genxref program now taking extreme time. Previously only took a few minutes to zip though lots of projects/versions. See alternating 100% cpu on cores and what looks like constant disk usage and processing now just crawls. Still on 1st project after about an hour (previously took maybe a minute per project). Top and system monitor don't show extreme processing on mysqld or genxref or any other process (except cores usages rotates and remains 100%). Recent f16 update included mysqld I think, so my guess is something has change or broken with it. No errors reported in /var/log/messages or /var/log/mysql.log -gene

Sound stopped working -
by Bob Goodwin 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Sound stopped working after I tried a USB Sound Adapter, which only lit its indicator leds. Normally the following should produce sound from the loudspeaker. [root@box6 bobg]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:660: audio open error: Device or resource busy It does not, and no sound shows on the PAVC input or output bars. I'm not certain of how signal moves through the sound circuit but it looks like it doesn't get from PA to ALSA input? I can feed a signal into the sound input jack and produce normal indications on the PAVC display and sound at the loudspeaker. Apparently plugging in that USB "sound adapter" switched something in the logic. Rebooting has not changed things? Is there a default conig. file somewhere? I've tried everything I can think of via the alsamixer display settings. Everything did work normally before this. Also, it would be helpful if there was a way to generate a continuous tone or keep aplay looping continuously when messing with cables under the desk, etc. I have not been able to find anything to do that. Suggestions wanted, what do I do next? Bob .

Changing kernel in grub 2
by don fisher 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

I have been using grub1, where you could edit the menu.1st command to change kernels. The only place that I see the kernels listed is in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which is generated by the files in /etc. If the current kernel does not work as desired, how does one choose the previous kernel? The only choices I see are: 1. edit the script that says do not edit 2. remove the bad kernel from /boot and run grub2-mkconfig Please advise. Once boot is broken, it is really bad! Thanks, don

Hello folks, Does anyone except me had problems today with updating their F16 systems? I seem to have dependency problems regarding ffmpeg-libs and/or libvpx. My repos are standard Fedora ones and rpmfusion. And 'yum clean all' did not help. Thanks, -- Rares Aioanei

Can't see ADSL modem
by Timothy Murphy 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

I have a small mystery on my home network. The machines on the network all run Fedora-16 or CentOS. All the machines except one, running CentOS-6.2, can ping the ADSL modem at 192.168.1.254 . The CentOS-6.2 machine does not get any response to pings from the modem, but is able to ping sites beyond the modem. Could some knowledgeable soul suggest a reason for this? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin
