DNS problem -
by Bob Goodwin 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

Recently we have begun to have problems with our browsers stopping to work, ask it to go to a bookmark address and nothing happens, everything stops until an error message comes up that the address can not be found. Thunderbird continues to receive e-mail unless I restart Thunderbird, then it is unable to find gmail.com. The problem exists on two F-19 computers and several Apple computers on the LAN, in fact I often become aware of the problem when someone complains that the internet connection is down. I can always restore normal operation by re-starting the Viasat modem, a process that takes several minutes and is an annoyance. I have determined that I can enter a numeric address e.g. 199.106.52.212 for viasat.com and that works as expected. At the request of viasat tech support I tried taking the router out of the circuit and connecting directly to the modem, that effected no change. Curiously, at the time this this morning when the problem was manifest tech support's "computer was down" which left me wondering if there was a correlation with my apparent DNS problem. I was asked to call back in a few hours, I did that. The tech support person seemed to take offense at my claiming there was a DNS problem and went on to explain that I probably have a dhcp problem and we need to start by "re-setting my NIC." From there on the conversation began to deteriorate and she accused me of shouting at her, I was able to extricate myself gracefully after that and agree that I would call back when I had more time to devote to troubleshooting. Am I missing some point here? Is there some connection between dhcp and dns that I am not aware of. My dhcp server is in the router and deals with about thirty addresses on the LAN and works faultlessly as far as I can see. Any thoughts appreciated, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-19/64 bit Linux/XFCE

Dog Role, See Eye Dog Role, Rescue Dog Role. RBAC is always hard to describe especially when you start defining SELinux Users. Login User -> SELinux User -> roles -> Types.

gtk-recordmydesktop creates video completely out of sync with audio on F19
by Ranjan Maitra 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

Hello, I recently recorded a lecture video at: https://streaming.stat.iastate.edu/~stat580/video/R-video2.ogv but the video seems to have been recorded at a supersonic speed. The audio is fine but as a result, completely out of sync with the video. Would anyone know of a way to bring back the audio and the video into sync? I prefer using tools available on Fedora. I have no clue as to how this happened. I have been recording such videos on Fedora for a long time (3 years), albeit on a different machine from this one, and I have never had this problem. I really don't want to go over and have to redo this video again. Other than the unnecessary effort, the big issue is that I have no way of knowing if the same problem will not recur. Many thanks again for any help you can possibly give!

I have a question: Is it possible to install Fedora on a Chromebook and completely REMOVE the ChromeOS? if so...how? everything I've seen so far says "dual-boot" but nothing seems to give you instructions as to how it can be completely removed from the system.. TIA EGO II

Getting top to show usage in human readable format
by SternData 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

On CentOS, top shows per process memory using in kb or mb. On Fedora 19, top shows per process memory usage by the byte. Is there an option or setting to make Fedora's top (from procps-ng) work like CentOS' (from procps) Here's what I'm talking about: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0d48ct2ga2eaj7/top.png -- -- Steve

Scrabble??
by Beartooth 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Does anyone know a way to run a Scrabble program on Fedora? (I realize the obvious existence of Wine and of virtual machines; but my experience with both has been thoroughly unsatisfactory; my hope is that a linux-native app may exist.) There seem to be two proprietary Scrabble programs, one in which you play against the computer, and one in which you play against a remote friend. (I don't play Scrabble.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
