gmvault fails on fedora 17
by M. Fioretti 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Greetings, I'm testing gmvault (http://gmvault.org/) a gmail backup tool, on fedora 17 x86_64. I have followed all the instructions (enable the app, change gmail settings etc) in the install page: http://gmvault.org/gmail_setup.html However, the program aborts with the python error below, which to me seems related to some python library on Fedora not being the right version. Any feedback is appreciated! TIA, Marco IMAP (abort) error message = command: FETCH => Gmvault ssl socket error: EOF. Connection lost, reconnect.. traceback:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gmvault-1.8.1_beta-py2.7.egg/gmv/imap_utils.py", line 117, in wrapper return the_func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gmvault-1.8.1_beta-py2.7.egg/gmv/imap_utils.py", line 504, in fetch return self.server.fetch(a_ids, a_attributes) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imapclient/imapclient.py", line 743, in fetch typ, data = self._imap._command_complete('FETCH', tag) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 899, in _command_complete raise self.abort('command: %s => %s' % (name, val)) abort: command: FETCH => Gmvault ssl socket error: EOF. Connection lost, reconnect.

Fedora 19 packages on F20

Fedora 20 / Gnome 3 crashing when ssh session hangs/fails
by Digimer 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi all, Twice today I've had my system lock up hard when my ssh session failed. In both cases, the mouse pointer moved still, but I couldn't corner bump or even do ctrl + alt + f2/f3/f4 to get a terminal window. My setup is a fresh install (not an upgrade) of stock Fedora 20 x86_64, Lenovo Thinkpad W530 on an SSD with luks-encrypted root (no LVM, ext4) and selinux disabled. The /var/log/messages from the minutes before the second crash don't seem to show much: Dec 18 21:01:01 lemass systemd: Starting Session 5 of user root. Dec 18 21:01:01 lemass systemd: Started Session 5 of user root. Dec 18 21:01:37 lemass dbus-daemon: dbus[647]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.PackageKit' unit='packagekit.service' Dec 18 21:01:37 lemass dbus[647]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.PackageKit' unit='packagekit.service' Dec 18 21:01:37 lemass systemd: Starting PackageKit Daemon...

The messages after this are the boot messages. I should mention that, perhaps related to or perhaps an issue on it's own, both times I hard-rebooted my laptop. In both cases, I had to reboot three times before it would prompt me to enter my luks passphrase to unlock /. I had no issues like this in Fedora 19. I reinstalled ~24 hours ago. Any help is appreciated. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?

Weird gnome setup window in VNC virtual machine
by Tom Horsley 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

I installed 32 and 64 bit Fedora 20 virtual machines at work today, using VNC video (since I have an old server that doesn't know anything about spice). After the install, on the first run the gnome setup tool runs to ask a few questions about keyboard, cloud, etc. In the VNC client, a black hole appears with the setup tool window squished into 2/3 of the hole over on the left side. I can't click the "Next" button to make any progress until I discover that I should click the button over in the black part of the screen where the Next button would have been if the window wasn't squished. So far, no other app has acted like this. The Gnome help app that pops up once I exit is drawn perfectly normally, no squishing.

Fedora 20 / Bluetooth / XFCE
by SternData 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Where did bluetooth support go in F20? Under F19, I had a bluetooth icon in the notification area and there was "blueman" to manage bluetooth devices. Yum tells me blueman has been obsoleted and replaced by BlueZ in F20, but I can't find any menu item related to Bluetooth. There is a program called "bluetooth-wizard". It sees my Roku box and iPHone but not my Jambox. This all worked in F19. Package blueman-1.23-7.fc20.x86_64 is obsoleted by bluez-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 which is already installed $ rpm -qa |grep blue pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-4.0-9.gitf81e3.fc20.x86_64 bluez-libs-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 bluez-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 gnome-bluetooth-libs-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 gnome-shell-extension-remove-bluetooth-icon-0.5.1-2.fc20.noarch gnome-bluetooth-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 bluez-cups-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 -- -- Steve

Just getting too hard to use with a mouse and keyboard. would like to get back to something close to gnome 2. Like I still have on my Centos boxes. I have MATE running on F18 - and it has a ways to go with ~/.gnome2 as opposed to ~/.gnome(3) user settings. MATE fails to save workspace settings, fails menu "reorganizations", uses caja/nautilus inconsistently, semi-fails XDMCP (Cannot log in remotely-unable to enter password), 'motion' does not work well on httpd+web browser and so on. There is more HD bloat (gnome2+gnome3) and it is a performance hog so a speedy MOBO/CPU/RAM is needed. The look and feel is pretty good, but it can get ugly sometimes. I hope MATE & applications catches up to what it was before gnome-3.

What hath Gnome wrought?
by Tom Horsley 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

OK, X was working well on my Samsung TV because at some point they introduced a "quirk" that informed the world that the idiots at Samsung set the size of the TV to 160x90 just to get the aspect ratio right in the EDID info, so Xorg.0.log says things like this: [ 4.694] (II) Quirked EDID physical size to 0x0 cm then later the intel video driver arbitrarily does this: [ 4.695] (==) intel(0): DPI set to (96, 96) Now, in Fedora 20, the Gnomes are apparently going to some vast amount of trouble to ignore the X DPI, and dig up the low level EDID provided display size in order to utterly screw everything up and make the characters on my screen be about the size of baseballs. Curse all "helpful" software to the uttermost depths of hades! Anyone know how to get latest gnome to believe the DPI setting and not blow up 12pt fonts to gigantic proportions?
