International phonetic alphabet fonts.
by Rolf Turner 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

I apologise for the lack of articulateness in this question; I am floundering a bit. Basically --- how can I obtain a font which will render the symbols of the international phonetic alphabet? I tried "yum list font" just now (prompted by another posting on this mailing-list) and got a catalogue of about a brazillion fonts, but none that seemed to be related to the international phonetic alphabet. Searching through this catalogue for "international" or "phonetic" turned up nothing. Searching for "IPA" turned up: > ipa-ex-gothic-fonts.noarch : Japanese Gothic-typeface OpenType font by IPA > ipa-pmincho-fonts.noarch : Japanese Proportional Mincho-typeface > OpenType font > : by IPA which seem to pertain to Japanese rather than to the international phonetic alphabet, so I don't *think* that these are anything to do with what I want. A client for whom I am consulting in respect of statistical analysis of some linguistic data tells me: > The IPA font I used is called Ipa-samd Uclphonl SILDoulosL. I think it > is one of the common available options in Microsoft, the other ones are > Ipa-samm Uclphonl SILManuscript and Ipa-sams Uclphonl SILSophiaL. But this is Micr$oft rubbish. Is there any way I get an international phonetic alphabet font for Fedora so that I can see my client's data on my machine? BTW, I am (still) running Fedora 17. Have not had the courage to upgrade to 18 or 19. My system is running very satisfactorily (except for the font problem that I am having) and I strongly adhere to the principle "If it ain't broke don't fix it." cheers, Rolf Turner

failed updates
by Frank McCormick 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Just tried to update my Fedora 19 with yum check-update. It seems every mirror has a problem: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/fedora/linux/updates/19/i386/repodata/rep…: [Errno -1] repomd.xml does not match metalink for updates Trying other mirror. ftp://mirror.nexicom.net/pub/fedora/linux/updates/19/i386/repodata/repomd.x…: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Failed to connect to 2607:f1f0:1:3::2: Network is unreachable" Trying other mirror. One of the configured repositories failed (Fedora 19 - i386 - Updates), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable updates 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=updates.skip_if_unavailable=true failure: repodata/repomd.xml from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. http://fedora.mirror.nexicom.net/linux/updates/19/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] repomd.xml does not match metalink for updates Is this temporary or should I do what Yum suggests ?? -- Your mail is being read by tight-lipped NSA agents who fail to see the humor in Doctor Strangelove.

hardware full disk encryption
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

I've got a standard consumer Intel 520 SSD, which claims to do hardware based AES disk encryption with no speed penalty. It sounds like a useful way to protect laptop data if the laptop is ever stolen. Has anyone tried to do hardware-based full disk encryption with Fedora? Does one need to boot from a live usb or something in order to get to an environment where one can even enter the AES key for the disk decryption? Google is failing me here due to search spam for LUKS which doesn't appear to be capable of *full* *disk* encryption. It only seems to encrypt individual partitions. -wolfgang

Post upgrade woes
by Bill Davidsen 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

I did fc18->19 upgrade via yum (having had many failures with fedup) and one issue and two questions remain. Issue, XFCE doesn't save the desktop when I logout and ask for save. I have a console open, it isn't opened on next login, but was with fc18. thoughts? Q1: I can't find where to install or configure alternate boot animations. Can someone point me to the info, or even give me a search string which will find it in either google or fedora wiki? Q2: is there a way to make fedora-upgrade use an iso (I did a hack so I could specify). -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot

OT: majordomo and ezmlm are so uncool
by Timothy Murphy 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

I've been trying to work out how spamassassin works in the postfix/amavis context. (Either the quantity of spam email has decreased dramatically, or spamassassin is working for me, but how?) I've been trying to join the spamassassin-users and postfix-users mailing lists so that I can pursue this query, hopefully on gmail, and have found this simple task beyond me. Amazingly, spamassassin-users - under the auspices of apache! - uses the ezmlm mailing-list software, which according to Wikipedia has not been updated since 1997, and which "only works with the qmail mail transfer agent". (Can this really be true?) Almost as weird, postfix-users - under the auspices of sourceforge - uses majordomo (last release 13 years ago) which I thought was displaced by mailman at least 10 years ago. Unsurprisingly, it provides me with a totally-garbled digest, starting --------- Digest of postfix-users list Tuesday, December 3 2013 Volume 01 : Number 3910 [none] [none] [none] ... --------- What is the attraction of these decrepit mailing-list programs? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
