keeping Bluetooth indicator visible - Gnome
by SternData 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

When I have a bluetooth device (jambox) connected, there's a bluetooth indicator on the upper right of the screen, next to the network connection indicator. When the device is disconnected, the bluetooth indicator goes away. Is there a way to keep it visible whether there's a device connected or not? I now I can reconnect later from Preferences -> Bluetooth, but it would be nice to click (or right click) on the indicator to make the connection. -- -- Steve

fedora update
by Patrick Dupre 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Hello, I burnt a DVD fedora 20 to update my distro. However, it fails the test at 12.6%. It there a risk to make an update using fedup? I always have the option to download a package which may be damaged.

Auto suspend/spin-down idle disk
by John Obaterspok 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Hello, I have a SSD disk as system disk and a: - HDD as backup drive that is used a couple of times each week - HDD as media disk that is perhaps used a couple of times each day I've tried to set the spindown to 1 hour of being idle via gnome-disks. Problem is that it never spins down. - I've verified that it spins down via hdparm -y /dev/sda - I've also set the smartd check interval to 5h (smartd_opts="--quit never --interval=18000") in /etc/sysconfig/smartmontools - Disks are mounted with "type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)" Any hints on how I get the disks to spin down? -- john

gnome-terminal in F20 defaults to / for the initial directory
by Sam Varshavchik 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

That's pretty much it. After upgrading to F20, launching gnome terminal starts a shell with its current directory of / instead of $HOME. Very annoying. gnome-terminal appears to inherit the parent process's home directory. If I launch gnome-terminal from another terminal window, the new shell's initial directory is the parent's. Curiously, the shell's parent process is gnome- terminal-server, whose current directory is $HOME. going on. The likely explanation is that I'm launching new gnome-terminal session from a desktop icon (since Gnome 3's brain damaged "Activities" screen always moronically activates one of the existing terminal windows, instead of creating new terminal session), and I see that the nautilus process's home directory is /, I guess that's what's going on, but I still just want to have my new shells come up in $HOME by default.

Hello, After cloning a distribution fedora 19, I have to set selinux=0 to be able to boot. How can I do to avoid this option? I tried: fixfiles relabel system-config-selinux But I never get a relabelling! What should I do?

Hello, I did follow for the 4th times the Chris's recommendations: mount /dev/mapper/root1 /mnt/linux1 -o ro mount /dev/mapper/root2 /mnt/linux2 cp -a /mnt/linux1/* /mnt/linux2 cp -a /mnt/linux1/.readahead /mnt/linux2 cp -a /mnt/linux1/boot /mnt/linux2 (I did not have a rsync command on the gparted live distribution that I have) mount -B /run /mnt/linux2/run mount -B /proc /mnt/linux2/proc mount -B /dev /mnt/linux2/dev mount -B /sys /mnt/linux2/sys chroot /mnt/linux2 vi /etc/fstab (to change to the new partitions labelling) dracut -f /boot/initramfs-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE.img grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Then I modify the original /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to get the booting on the clone without modifying the mbr (grub2-install) And I get always the same behavior: failed to start ....... create static device modes in /dev journal service open pack file: permission denied In my opinion, I need to do something else, but what?

You used cp /dev/sda /dev/sdb? Device to device? Or you specified directories to copy? I've had cp -a of directories not work, in particular it misses hidden files unless you explicitly copy them. I've had better luck with rsync. And I've had impressively good luck with btrfs send/receive, that's a cake walk, and fast. > > Chris Murphy > > -- > users mailing list > users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
