keyboard layout problem fedora19 gnome3 shell
by Natxo Asenjo 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

hi, I installed fedora 19 desktop edition and am having some trouble with the keyboard layout (in the standard gnome3 shell). What I need is this layout: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc104 layout: us variant: intl options: kpdl:kposs but what I get is: $ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc104 layout: us options: kpdl:kposs I have tried adding an autostart file in $HOMEDIR/.config/autostart like this: $ cat set_us_intl_keyboard.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=set us intl keyboard layout Comment=set us intl keyboard layout Exec=setxkbmap us -variant intl but every time I need to run the command manually because the settings are not applied. using the graphical tool 'Regional Settings' I choose as 'Input source' : English (US, alternative international), but still no go. What is the way to fix this? Why is it not appying the settings with the autostart command? This is quite annoying, I should not be having to bang my head against the wall for a simple keyboard layout ;-) TIA, -- Regards, Natxo -- Groeten, natxo

VT consoles annoyance
by Natxo Asenjo 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

hi, another 'minor' annoyance in my fedora 19 laptop is the fact that VT consoles are, in fact, unusable. I constantly get info messages of NetworkManager. I have tried tweaking sysctl.conf like this: kernel.printk = 2 2 2 2 because of info I found here http://superuser.com/questions/351387/how-to-stop-kernel-messages-from-floo… But it does not resolve it. In /etc/rsyslog.conf I have no kern.* line enabled Any ideas? -- Groeten, natxo -- Groeten, natxo

I know this is going to sound crazy to the die-hard people in here, but someone asked me.....and I was unable to provide an answer.....so here goes: How DO you "add/Remove software in Fedora now? it would seem that there's no way to do it unless you know the package name and do it from the terminal? TIA EGO II

How to enter system after Nvdia driver installation?
by WangWentao 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Hi, all, I got a HP env 5306tx laptop with dual GPUs, and I faild to install driver for it. I have tried official driver, rpmfusion, bumblebee, all failed. My dist is fc18-i386, with security boot disabled and legacy boot enabled. What is bothering me is that nvidia driver leave the screen blackout. When I reboot, I can dimly recognize a fedora logo in the center of screen, which is nearly blackout. So I cannot enter the system, and nothing changes after I add 3 at the end of grub command(and remove all these kernel options) or press ctrl-alt-fn. My questions is: * Why nvidia driver affects run level 3 and TTY? * How to enter system and remove installed drivers? Another non-related question is TTY is not working properly before I install nvidia driver. If I boot in runlevel3, and I enter TTY2 before login, the screen will flash between tty1 and tty2, or stick in tty2(cannot switch to other TTYs). I don't know it is a hardware problem or software problem. Any advice will be appreciated.

dhcp at system boot on a bridged connection takes over a minute
by Sam Varshavchik 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

[root@monster ~]# systemd-analyze blame 1min 20.456s network.service … >From watching boot messages, it appears that DHCP takes over a minute. It doesn't fail, eventually it acquires the assigned IP address, and the server finishes booting normally. This started happening after I bridged eth0 in order to assign LAN IP addresses to VMs on the server. Interestingly enough, doing ifdown vnet0/ifup vnet0 after booting does not experience the same delay. ifup vnet0 acquires IP from DHCP in a few seconds.

F19: getting number of cores, cachesize, etc.
by Ranjan Maitra 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

Hi, I am running the latest updated F19 and have the following code (see below) from a GPL'ed program (not written by me) which involves getting the number of cores and the cache size. The program compiles and runs fine (no valgrind errors) on i686 architecture but not on the newer x86_64. I have localized the problem to here, because if I explicitly give the numbers by hand, there is not an issue (there are no valgrind errors). Any suggestions as to what is going wrong and how to fix this? Many thanks for any help and best wishes, Ranjan Here is the code: #define SIZE_T int SIZE_T get_nb_cores() { SIZE_T n = 0; char line[BS]; FILE *fp; if ((fp = fopen("/proc/cpuinfo","r")) == NULL) return (1); while (fgets(line,BS,fp)) n += !strncmp(line,"processor",9); return(n); } SIZE_T get_cache_size() { SIZE_T n = 512; char line[BS],c; FILE *fp; if ((fp = fopen("/proc/cpuinfo","r")) == NULL) return (1); while (fgets(line,BS,fp)) if (!strncmp(line,"cache size",10)) sscanf(line+11,"%c % d",&c,&n); return(n*1024); } The valgrind errors go like this: ..................... ==17144== Warning: invalid file descriptor 1031 in syscall open() ..................... ==17144== at 0x4A06409: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==17144== by 0x3EBCC6C3CC: __fopen_internal (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) ==17144== by 0x4149A5: get_nb_cores (knnp.c:112) ..................... ==17144== at 0x4A06409: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==17144== by 0x3EBCC6C3CC: __fopen_internal (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) ==17144== by 0x414A20: get_cache_size (knnp.c:122) ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!

rsync question -
by Bob Goodwin 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Is rsync not supposed to append to the existing files or just copy over them? I would like to update /home/bobg/.thunderbird but the following simply overwrites everything: [root@box10 bobg]# rsync -avz /mnt/HOME1/bob/TBdBx07/ /home/bobg/.thunderbird/ In this case I have rsynced .thunderbird from box7 to an nfs server file TBdBx07 and am in turn applying that to box10. I also want to do the same with F20-Beta in Vmware Workstion which is how I got off on this ... Do I misunderstand or am I simply doing it wrong?
