Mounting Galaxy S3 internal SD card
by Alex
Hi,
Just got a new Samsung Galaxy S3 and would like to transfer files
between it and my fc15 box. When I insert the USB cable, it seems to
mount it with a file manager pop-up showing
"SAMSUNG_Android_SPH-L710", but it's otherwise not accessible on the
filesystem.
How was it mounted?
I've found several references to jmtpfs and MTP, but I was previously
able to mount my original Galaxy without any additional software, so
I'd appreciate a better explanation of what's happening.
It seems to show up as a USB device, but I can't access it:
[3791164.746674] scsi 104:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic- Multi-Card
1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
[3791164.747120] sd 104:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0
[3791164.749856] sd 104:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
[root@sage ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[root@sage ~]#
Ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

OT: need python help please
by Roger
My daughter wants to teach her students tkinter interface with python.
She cannot get an entry into the field entry1=Entry(fishDisplay,
width=35).grid(row=0, column=1)
to display and this is out of my expertise. Can someone point us to a
suitable tutorial on how to get test in a tk field into a variable and
how to display it.
I ran Idle debug and the result from entry1 is None.
Part of the little app she wrote is as follows.
Please help if possible.
thanks in advance
Roger

Run my windows dual-boot install in a window in f17
by Matt Morgan
I have Windows actually installed on a separate partition. Can I run it
from inside Linux somehow? That is, without rebooting into Windows. I
looked at VirtualBox and Virtual Machine Manager (I'm completely new to
them) but it wasn't obvious that they could use a real installation of
Windows.
Thanks,
Matt

After the today's update git depends on subversion

Hi all,
I noticed that the today's update of git brought dependency between git

and subversion-perl depends on subversion. It looks like that the used git

(1.7.11.2).

Systemctl hates mysqld: refuses to start Fedora 16 (LONG)
by R. G. Newbury
Well I am stumped. I have a puzzler which needs the brain-power and
knowledge which hangs around here.
Systemctl on fedora 16 will NOT start mysqld.
The problem started on Thursday evening when I rebooted. Uptime was
then 60 days. Mysqld was running, but mythfrontend was having difficulty
connecting. This was *before* the UTC problem arose. No updates since
about January.
Startup of mysqld fails with a permissions error, attempting to write
to /tmp, which is chmod 1777, that is, world writeable and readable!
There is nothing wrong with the mysql setup. If I run each command from
the command line, mysqld starts without problem. That is to say: there
is nothing wrong with the mysqld setup. I repeat: there is nothing
wrong with the mysqld setup.
But mysqld startup FAILS when initiated by systemctl.
In order to avoid unhelpful responses/questions relating to the many
many many other ways in which one can have mysqld fail to start, I
will list the sanity checks which I have used to ensure that everything
lines up properly: I have checked my.cnf and use the same command line
switches, and folders and permissions throughout. Everything run as
root. Selinux disabled. And mysqld *will* start properly from the
commandline, just NOT by way of systemctl. See log extract below.
So any answers about missing folders etc are off-track.
*** Proof of Setup
# mkdir /var/log/mysqld
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/log/mysqld': File exists
# chown -R mysql:mysql /var/log/mysqld
# chmod -R 777 /var/log/mysqld
# chown -R mysql:mysql /run/mysqld
# chmod -R 777 /run/mysqld
# chmod -R 1777 /tmp
# killall mysqld
mysqld: no process found
**** Replicate mysqld.service commands:
# /usr/libexec/mysqld-prepare-db-dir
# /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --nowatch --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
--socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
--basedir=/usr/ --log-error=/var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log
# /usr/libexec/mysqld-wait-ready $MAINPID
**** and mysqld STARTS
# ps -ae | grep mysqld
20853 pts/3 00:00:00 mysqld
At this point, I can use the console mysql client, etc. etc.
So the mysqld setup is correct. But this is not what happens under
systemctl
******** COMPARE AND CONTRAST *******
# killall mysqld
# systemctl start mysqld.service
Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.
*** Edited *** Failure is:
Process: 25762 ExecStartPost=/usr/libexec/mysqld-wait-ready
$MAINPID (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
*** Comment out the exec-post command (which is not technically
required...it just adds some 'settle' time) and reload:
# systemctl start mysqld.service
******* Note that it gives no error....as appears above
******** Yes the service IS disabled atm, because of this testing
# systemctl status mysqld.service

I can find NO other error messages. /tmp is 1777: completely world

Sorry for the length. Can anyone shed ANY light on this?
(And for all our sakes when replying, please PLEASE PLEASE chop off at
the least everything above the 'HERE IS THE ERROR LINE'. It is all
background and setup and not relevant to the actual error. It only
shows *where* the error appears and why 'the usual suspects' are not to
be considered 'persons of interest'.
ATM, my workaround is to disable mysqld.service, and start mysqld as
an /etc/rc.d/init.d service by calling mysqld-prepare-db-dir and
mysqld_safe from there. It's a bodge (and that's what I call it!) And
without mysql, my mythbox is useless.
I want to know why mysqld cannot write to /tmp when started by
systemctl on Fedora 16. (Everything works properly in Fedora 17).
(Anyone know if Lennart reads this list?)
