OT?: GNU Public License for files
by Ranjan Maitra 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, Slightly OT, but perhaps not totally unrelated, how does one release some pictures (jpg files) for the GNU Public License v3? I went to wikimedia and noticed that there is no slot for this, only Creative Commons. On the other hand, there are JPGs there that are released under the GPL, so I was wondering about how to go about that. As an aside, is the GPL the better license for pictures and images, or is the CC license better?

Syncing Android phones w/ Fedora & Evolution
by Max Pyziur 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Greetings, Previously, I used a Palm Centro phone and used J-Pilot to sync data (contacts, calendar, notes, and tasks) via USB cable. Fairly easy to configure and use. Since, I've acquired an Android phone (HTC Design 4G), PIM data doesn't seem to be as easy to manage by way of a direct link between a Fedora Linux desktop and an Android phone. An easy way is by way of a Gmail account. However, the hope has been to avoid this possibility. My progress (and I guess my ambition ) is slow in this venture. Nevertheless, I've begun syncing my contacts via OneMediaHub/Funambol. So far it seems to work. OneMediaHub also syncs calendars. Hopefully, I'll use that soon. However, that still leaves Tasks/ToDos and Notes, neither of which is done with either Gmail or OneMediaHub. There are two Android Apps that enable importing notes created under Palm (Note Everything, and PalmNote). But that still doesn't solve the sync problem. There is Evernote, a current rage in note-taking apps, highly multimedia-oriented, and cloud-based. However, I would prefer avoiding using this. Much thanks for all advice, Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Building a 1pb volume
by Will Yonker 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, I'm looking to build a 1PB (usable) volume on a Fedora or Redhat platform.Â The volume (has to be a single volume) will be shared out by NFS.Â My considerations in the order of importance are: Data loss Cost Speed I am currently considering some less expensive storage arrays using 4TB SAS disks in 5+1 RAID 5 configurations (each array would be responsible for 10 such volumes).Â This will give me one level of protection.Â Then I'm going to propose a DR site with a full second set of storage.Â That will give me a 2nd level of protection. Now I would like a 3rd level of protection and I thought about using GlusterFS.Â If I read it right, it would duplicate the data in a way so that it doesn't reside in a single place.Â So, has anyone used Gluster?Â Does anyone have any other suggestions that might work for a situation like this?Â All options are currently on the table so it's play time!Â :) Thanks! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Spot's Chromium update not working; how to debug/report
by Ted Roche 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I've got spot's Chromium repo ( http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/) installed on my system and Chromium has been successfully updated in the past. This morning, however, the update has left me with an unusable Chromium (version 23.0.1271.95, x86_64 arch on Fedora 16). Starting the browser results in the "Oh, snap!" message and nothing from the navigation bar nor menu (About, Help) changes the display. I uninstalled and reinstalled this version (along with the v8 and webrtl dependencies) and see the same problem. Starting chromium-browser with either of the options --incognito or --temp-profile has the same result. No errors are echoed to the terminal. /var/log/messages shows: Jan 9 10:33:45 athena kernel: [ 8962.396311] chromium-browse[3556]: segfault at 122 ip 00007fbd03909de3 sp 00007fbce89c5bb0 error 6 in chromium-browser[7fbd0272d000+474f000] Jan 9 10:33:45 athena kernel: [ 8962.424990] chromium-browse[3559]: segfault at 122 ip 00007fbd03909de3 sp 00007fbce89c5bb0 error 6 in chromium-browser[7fbd0272d000+474f000] I'd welcome suggestions on how to fix this, or where/how I can post a bug report. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

They are supposed to be unique *per machine* - you can have two nics on the same machine with the same MAC although this is rare. Alan -----Original Message----- Never seen a Sun ;) ? On SUN sparc stations, _all_ the nics have the same mac-address, based on the system-ID. So you can swap Ethernet boards, while your MAC remains the same.

What is status of vgaswitcheroo in Fed17/Fed18?
by Alexander Volovics 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Is anybody using vgaswitcheroo with Optimus(Intel/Nvidia) in Fed17 (or Fed18) with the 'i915' and 'nouveau' drivers. Does it work? Does it work dependably? Is it a viable alternative to bbswitch? If you switch to 'integrated' does it stay switched after shutdown/reboot/hibernate/suspend or do you have to set the switch anew at each boot? Are there any gotcha's? AV
