systemctl question
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
While trying to get vncserver working I found this within
/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service file.
/usr/bin/vncserver %i
What is %i?
Can anybody explain from where this syntax derives?
TIA (and befuddled, meanwhile :),

Make ctrl-alt-del invoke gnome-system-monitor instead of gnome logout ?
by Fernando Cassia
How is one supposed to configure keystrokes so Ctrl-Alt-Del invokes
"gnome-system-monitor -p" (process view) instead of the current
behaviour of the logout screen?
Thanks
FC

Syncing with MTP devices
by Patrick O'Callaghan
F16 fully updated.
I've been trying to sync music with my Galaxy Nexus, connected by USB
cable. Fedora recognizes the device, but none of the apps I've tried
will sync to it. So far I've tried:
Amarok: on copying an album, at most a random 2 or 3 tracks succeed,
then the UI freezes for a long time.
Rhythmbox: copying even one track gets an error popup about not being
able to determine free space.
Banshee: can't see the device
Mtpfs (a FUSE filesystem for MTP): can see the phone's file structure
but won't copy anything to it. No errors, just doesn't do anything.
Ironically, one of my reasons for moving from iPhone to Android was the
hope of better Linux support ...

starting konsoles in specific locations
by jonetsu
Hello,
Is it possible at all to start several konsole terminals, each in a
specific location, by means of a script ? I used to do that with
another type of terminal app years ago. I quickly did a search about
konsole and it seems that it does not support standard X parameters
like '-geometry'. is there any way to start konsoles in a specific
size at a specific location (and optionally using a specific name) ?
Thanks for any suggestion.

wpa supplicant
by JD
wpa_supplicant is unable to associate with my phone (which acts as an
ad-hoc peer).
I have set up the wpa_supplicant.conf on F16 as follows:
network={
ssid="MyPhoneSSID"
bssid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
scan_ssid=1
mode=AD-HOC
key_mgmt=NONE
group=WEP104 WEP40
wep_key0="wep_key_0"
wep_key1="wep_key_0"
wep_key2="wep_key_0"
wep_key3="wep_key_0"
wep_tx_keyidx=0
}
Association never takes place.
However, my Apple/OS_X laptop has no problem associating with same phone.
So, what is wrong with my wpa_supplicant.conf file?

"No driver found" when installing F14 to a 2TB drive using netinstall
by Adam Zilkie
Hi,
I am getting the following error message during my F14 installation:
“No driver found”
“Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type. Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk?”
I get this error only when installing to a 2TB hard drive and using the F14 netinstall. The installation works fine using a smaller hard drive (250GB). The installation also works fine using the 2TB hard drive when using the F14 DVD image, and also when using the F16 netinstall image.
Thanks for your help.

Fedora 16 and the 3.3.1-3 kernel
by Mark Haney
It appears that the latest kernel (3.3.1-3) for Fedora 16 dies
spectacularly on my netbook with these errors:
udevd[187]: timeout '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda3'
udevd[187]: timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda3' [332]
udevd[187]: timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda3' [332]
udevd[187]: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda3' [332] terminated by
signal 9 (Killed)
udevd[185]: timeout '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/dm-0'
udevd[185]: timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/dm-0' [385]
udevd[185]: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/dm-0' [385] terminated by
signal 9 (Killed)
IIRC the signal 9 calls there are my having to power off the system
manually.
One other thing, in each case the system mentions something about not
finding the LVM volume and drops to a 'dracut:' prompt. That prompt is
new to me so I've not really messed with it.
I can say that the previous kernels boot just fine (3.3.0-8) and I have
no trouble with them. Any ideas on what I can look at? Maybe file a
bug report?

mount -t nfs4 fails, but mount -t nfs succeeds
by Jonathan Ryshpan
Can anyone explain this? How can it be fixed? Do some services need to
be started on the server?
The server is "weather". This log is from the client:
# mount -t nfs weather:/home/jonrysh /mnt/weather
# ls /mnt/weather
Desktop Documents Downloads Music Pictures Public Templates Videos grub2
# umount /mnt/weather
# mount -t nfs4 weather:/home/jonrysh /mnt/weather
mount.nfs4: mounting weather:/home/jonrysh failed, reason given by server:
No such file or directory

Thanks in advance - jon
