Cronometer (GPL) goes web based, loses GPL ?
by linux guy 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

I am a long time user of Cron-o-meter. Its a Java GLP application for nutritional monitoring. It works great. http://cronometer.com/ As long as I've know it (4 years), cronometer has been a GPL application that you installed on your local computer. As a matter of fact, cronometer has and still does maintain a sourceforge account. http://sourceforge.net/projects/cronometer/ However, Cronometer is now available as an online application. The provider has set up a web site that serves the application to users via browsers connected to the internet The online version of Cronometer has extra functionality, not included in the local version. "The original version of CRON-O-Meter is still available for download. However, we highly recommend using the web version instead as it has more features, a bigger database, and you can access your data from anywhere. For those that prefer the stand-alone version, you can download it below." http://cronometer.com/download/ Even more functionality is available for the online version via a premium membership. No source code has been made available for the web served application. Has the cronometer provided broken the rules of the GPL by enhancing it and turning it into a web application and not providing the course code back to the user base ? If so, where and how should this be reported ? Thanks !

Change in Fedora leadership
by Mike Chambers 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Case folks from Fedora User list aren't on the announe list, and missed this. Yes am top posting but wanted to leave the msg untouched. You may go now haha. Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Jared K. Smith <jsmith(a)fedoraproject.org> Reply-to: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To: announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Change in Fedora leadership Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 07:54:16 -0500 One of the things I like most about the Fedora Project is the opportunity for people to move and grow in (and out) of different roles and responsibilities. The position of Fedora Project Leader, in particular, has never been a long-term leadership position, but one that regularly invites new people to assume the role and bring new ideas and new energy to the project. I would like to take this opportunity to share some of my thoughts about being the Fedora Project Leader, and inform you of upcoming changes in Fedora leadership. Any time we make leadership changes in Fedora, we that that challenge seriously, and do everything we can to make the leadership transition as smooth as possible. Although I've been using Fedora since the split from Red Hat Linux, it's only been the past five of six years that I've really been an active contributor. Sure, I was hanging out on the mailing lists, trying out the pre-releases and reporting bugs, but I didn't really consider myself a part of Fedora. It wasn't until I got started with the Docs team and attended my first FUDCon that I truly caught the spirit of the Fedora community. Since then, I've thoroughly enjoyed rubbing shoulders with people who are infinitely smarter than me, and I've learned a tremendous amount -- both about the technical bits and bytes, and also about free software communities. And for the last little while, it's been my honor and privilege to serve the community as the Fedora Project Leader. The role of Fedora Project Leader isn't an easy role, but I am proud of the things we've been able to accomplish both within the distribution and within the community during my tenure. We've had three solid Fedora releases during my time as FPL, each one with a myriad of new features. I've worked hard to expand our international outreach, and to get more international representation on the Fedora Board. We've updated the Fedora website. We've improved our quality assurance processes. We've been able to deliver Fedora images for the Amazon EC2 cloud on release day. We've improved our translation system. I'm thankful for all those who have worked hard to help drive Fedora forward. Now is the time for me to pass the torch to the next Fedora Project Leader. As you probably already know, Red Hat employs the FPL to ensure someone is accountable to Red Hat and the rest of the community for the Fedora Project as a whole. After all, many Fedora leaders have referred to the FPL as "the one throat to choke" when it comes to Fedora. The FPL is still subject to the same process as any other Red Hat hire, though, and ultimately Red Hat is responsible for that decision. It is imperative that the decision be a good one for the entire Fedora community, so the Fedora Board is consulted about the selection. This process has continued to work well for several previous FPLs, and the Board provided positive feedback about our selection this time around, too. I'm happy to announce that Red Hat has selected Robyn Bergeron to be the next Fedora Project Leader. Robyn has proven herself in the Fedora community over the last several years, and I have complete confidence in her abilities to lead the Fedora Project. In addition to planning FUDCon Tempe in 2011 and helping to lead the Marketing and Cloud SIGs within Fedora, Robyn has been an integral part of many other Fedora events and endeavors. Most recently, she has held the role of Fedora Program Manager, helping to ensure that we all stay on schedule and helping the Fedora feature process stay on track. Please join with me in welcoming Robyn into her new role, and in giving her your help and support in her new role. I'll be working with Robyn over the next weeks and months to help her in the new role. -- Jared Smith Former Fedora Project Leader

Nvidia drivers thru RPMfusion
by Lawrence E Graves 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Just wanted to know has there been any solution to the fact on some laptops there is still that problem with the installation of rpmfusion nvidia drivers install. I am still using the 275.43.run drivers from the nvidia.com in order to have use of nvidia drivers. There was a thread a month or so ago concerning this problem. Ivan help me with it and there was still no solution so I let it die for fear of offending people. I got in touch with the nvidia people and they said a fix was coming and that has been some time ago. Just inquisitive as to the progress being made toward this problem. -- Lawrence Graves All things are workable but don't all things work.

kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 breaks wifi
by Christian Menzel 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hi, the kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 update broke the wifi on my Lenovo X220 (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 AGN, REV=0xB0). The system detects and connects to a wireless lan, but after some minutes the system cannot connect to other hosts anymore. The wifi icon still shows and the system still has an ip-address but all pings answer 'destination unreachable'. After stopping/starting wifi the Internet connection will stay for a short time before failing again. For me kernel 3.2.2 is unusable and I went back to 3.2.1. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Chris

manual network setup, manage multiple wifi access
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hi all, I would like to manually setup my network on my laptop, not with NetworkManager. I am especially looking for a way to manage Wifi network. Just for example, on Debian/Ubuntu, I use: # /etc/network/interfaces iface home inet dhcp wireless-essid rktmb wireless-key foobar iface work inet dhcp wpa-ssid wifiatwork wpa-psk ababababab And then, in CLI: $ sudo ifup wlan0=home or $ sudo ifup wlan0=work to up the Wifi. For convenience (we use Fedora/CentOS for all Linux boxes), I'm going to switch to Fedora 16 on my laptop, but really want to up the network via CLI. What could be the Fedora equivalent? Would you have some documentation link about that? Thank you. -- RMA.

Router help please - Linksys Windows only?
by don fisher 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

I am receiving The following error messages every 30 seconds in /var/log/messages: avahi-daemon[1029]: Received response from host 192.168.7.1 with invalid source port 32783 on interface 'eth0.0' I looked on the internet and found a blog with the same problem: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Received-response-from-h… I went to CISCO to determine what the resolution was. 1. Live Chat support informed me that Linksys was only supported under Windows and that I could call live support at 1-800-326-7114. 2. Live support made be perform rather silly tests under Windows. Then passed me to a supervisor. 3. The Supervisor could not find the above email thread on their own site! Linksys does not have an email address for support. And the people I spoke to were not savvy enough to understand the problem as described in the above thread. Is Linksys a known problem for Linux systems? Should it be? Are there any suggestions on how to bound the size of my message files other that editing avhi so that it does not issue these warning messages? I was online or on the phone to Linksys for over 3 hours. I do not know where they are located, but I could barely understand their english. It was one of the worst support experiences in my 35 years of system involvement! Don

I'm shopping for a desktop-replacement-grade laptop. The Samsung RF711- S02 (Intel i7/4G DDR3 /750 GB / 17") looks like it might be a good fit. BUT, can't find any info on Linux-compatibility. Anyone have data on that? Thanks.

ATI HD 6570
by Patrick Dupre 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hello, I got a new computer with a ATI HD6570 graphics card and a AOC monitor capable of 1920x1080, but fedora 16 live does not run because of the graphics does not seem to be correct. I am the same problem with my standard live tools, gparted, TRK, etc... With some distributions (ubutu, knonopic), I can get some graphics but with a low resolution, typically 800x600 or 1024x768 I do not know what is due to the driver and to the monitor. Can somebody help? Thank. -- --- ========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | Department of Chemistry | | Phone: (44)-(0)-1904-434384 The University of York | | Fax: (44)-(0)-1904-432516 Heslington | | York YO10 5DD United Kingdom | | email: patrick.dupre(a)york.ac.uk ==========================================================================
