It's possible recovery this situation? NOTE: if I try update my notebook via software updates, the system say to me witch my system is up to date. Thanks for help me. -- Dario Lesca - sip:dario@solinos.it (Inviato dal mio Linux Fedora19+Gnome3.8)

latest F19 version of openssl breaks ssh on i686 machine with old CPU
by Andre Robatino 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

I have an old i686 machine with a Cyrix M II CPU which is (barely) capable of running Fedora. The latest version of openssl (openssl-1.0.1e-28.fc19.i686) breaks incoming and outgoing ssh. Outgoing fails with the error "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022346 ). I installed the necessary debuginfo packages to get a stack trace from the core file (see the bug). I guessed that the problem has to do with my CPU not supporting the NOPL instruction, but can't tell from the stack trace. Has anyone else had similar trouble with old CPUs, and is there any other information that would be useful to collect? The maintainer hasn't responded so far.

Sharing EFS / EFI partition between Windows 8 and Fedora 20
by Pedro Francisco 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hello! I've installed Fedora 20 on a Asus N550jv with no apparent issues. Thing is, I accepted Anaconda's suggestion of having two EFS / EFI partition, one for Windows (left untouched) and other for Fedora. It is done, installed but... sounds messy. Questions: 1- What are the advantages of having two EFS / EFI partitions? I know some UEFI allow for one boot entry only per partition, thus forcing to choose between Windows or Linux and leaving one with no way to boot again the other; is that the only advantage of having two EFS? I also know Windows 7 installer seems to balk when it sees two EFS; I'd venture a guess Windows 8 has fixed this, can anyone confirm? 2- Any quick way to test if it would break, on my particular machine, to have just one EFS with both Windows and Linux EFI boot files? Maybe add two similar Windows boot entries and see if one of them disappears after I boot Windows? Thanks in Advance! -- Pedro

Gnome 3 & Favourite programs.
by Bill Case 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi; In Gnome there used to be a facility for establishing your favourite program for basic functions. Example, to call up a specific browser when you clicked on a link. I used to use Firefox as my main browser set to start on startup in its own workspace. I would also choose "Web" (formerly Epiphany) as my favourite so whenever I clicked a link not in Firefox, Web would open in the workspace where I was working for a quick search. How now in Gnome 3 can I set this favourite or preferred Browser to Web? [P.S. I have never found a Gnome help site that actually answers questions or gives help. I have used email and their forum without every getting answers so I am try Fedora for information.] -- Regards William Case, Fedora 19, Gnome 3.8.4, Evo 3.8.5, Emacs 24x.

Fedora 19 screensaver
by Roger 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Since updating last week the Fedora 19 screensaver is causing me grief. I have it off and time delay set to never but it blanks the screen and defaults to a time display after 30+ minutes , on any key press it gives the login dialog which cannot be accessed either by tab key or mouse so there is no way to log in. Ctrl Alt F2 gives me a new user I log in as me and startx to bring up gnome then shut down and restart. Googling shows it's difficult to get rid of the screensaver. That's half the problem and raises a peripheral question. I am developing an app on Heroku. Have had access until Tuesday evening at which time starting heroku produces 30 of the below errors. Same in accessing Heroku logs. Error: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server key exchange B: EC lib (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) (Excon::Errors::SocketError) Backtrace: /home/Desktop/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/excon-0.16.10/lib/excon/ssl_socket.rb:60:in `connect' /home/Desktop/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/excon-0.16.10/lib/excon/ssl_socket.rb:60:in `initialize' /home/Desktop/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0/gems/excon-0.16.10/lib/excon/connection.rb:364:in `new' To the question: Because access to desktop fails due to faulty screensaver, I did a Crtl Alt F2 to a fresh login, startx to bring up the desktop. In a terminal typed the commands to start heroku and got the above error/s. Can it be that in starting a new login and desktop it messed up access to ssh keys and could this be the cause of the heroku error regime. If so what can be done to resolve the issue? If not, what then? I have posted on Github as heroku requires. I note on Github there are an increasing number of similar complaints and google is rife with these also. What's the difference if any between my pc's ssh keys and the rsa-keygen keys? in the .ssh directory? I generated a new rsa.pub key and entered that in Heroku but it did not resolve the issue. I'm most curious about this and how to guard against it for the future. Thank you in advance Roger

Can yum resume??
by Beartooth 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

As I reported this morning, `yum --releasever=18 distro-sync' told me when I got to it "killed." Just that (on a line by itself). No hint of when, why, how, nor anything else. Can I get to start back up from where it left off, instead of from the beginning? The man page is not just hard to read (as usual) but downright confusing. Should I try 'yum redo' or 'yum history redo'? Or maybe yum- complete-transaction?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

system question
by Richard Vickery 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

Hi Gang: I called journalctl and got two lines that sparked a question: Parsing /etc/bluetooth/input.conf failed: No such file or directory Oct 17 15:17:36 localhost.localdomain bluetoothd[502]: Parsing /etc/bluetooth/serial.conf failed: No such file or directory Should I be creating a bluetooth directory and perhaps touching the files: input.conf and serial.conf? I went ahead and created the directory, but I have yet to create the files. Thanks Richard

If you are using Thunderbird from the Fedora repo but Lightning from Mozilla, do not let Thunderbird upgrade the Lightning extension. It requires 24.0.1 to work. The current Fedora version is at 24.0. -- -- Steve

emacspeak
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, I am the current maintainer of the emacspeak package, and have been for a long time. However I have never really used the package so I don't know how well it works. I have asked in the past on Fedora devel list if anyone wants to take over the package from me but got no reply. If you or someone you know uses emacspeak then please let me know. Also if someone who is a packager is interested to take over the package and maintain it that would be welcome. It would be better to have someone who is able to use the package to maintain. Thanks, Jens
