Error mounting Solaris disk (UFS)
by Fernando Cassia 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

After discovering an ancient 40GB hard drive in a drawer under of a pile of ancient papers (!), I decided to take a peek on it to see if there's any data worth keeping, before formatting. Discovering the file system gives me "Unix Fast File System" # file -sL /dev/sde12 /dev/sde12: Unix Fast File system [v1] (little-endian), last mounted on /export/home, last written at Fri Sep 26 01:46:07 2003, clean flag 2, number of blocks 37882656, number of data blocks 37287436, number of cylinder groups 767, block size 8192, fragment size 1024, minimum percentage of free blocks 1, rotational delay 0ms, disk rotational speed 60rps, TIME optimization However, when I try to mount it, I get errors... # mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs,ro /dev/sde12 /mnt/disk39 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde12, missing codepage or helper program, or other error Changing ufstype to ufs2 gives me the same error. Any ideas? This disk was installed on a system that ran Solaris 7 x86 at the time, I guess that was before ZFS...

where is volume control thermometer
by Mike Wright 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hi all, Running f18 installed from the xfce live spin. Keyboard volume controls used to pop a small window center screen that showed the current volume. It provides instant feedback without having to leave the keyboard and updates in real time as the volume is adjusted. IMO that is a very simple and elegant way of communicating with the user Is it still available? If so, what is its package name?

User lock really locks...
by fred roller 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hello all, I am new to the thread and have been away from the community for a spell. I installed 18_64 on an Aspire7520 laptop and have enjoyed getting back into Linux again. So you know I am comfortable in CLI and fairly familiar with some of the inner workings and have been able to troubleshoot most issues which have come up. The issue I have is when I select "Lock" from the user options, upper right hand the system locked the account. Nothing would cause a prompt for password to get back into the account. Music was still playing from when I left it, etc. everything seemed to work fine. I do know that "esc" would give me the password prompt when the system locked from settings in "System Setting --> Brightness & Lock" so the function seems to work as advertised except when I choose Lock. Will be surfing for answers, if anyone can get me pointed in the right direction it would be appreciated. It's good to be back. :-) Fred

F18 livecd can't play wma files, and no mplayer
by Fernando Cassia 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

I booted Fedora 18 off a LiveCD, and want to play back wma files. So far, all my attempts have been unsuccesful. It's clear no wma playback codecs are included with the files. Plus, MPlayer, which usually plays back 'everything' is NOT included in the official repos, and if I try to install mplayer from ATRPMS, it gets a thousands (I'm exaggerating) dependencies and installation aborts. I tried looking around for a STATIC BUILD of mplayer, but that doesn't seem to exist (someone used to compile mplayer statically, many many years ago, but it seems there's no static builds of recent versions). Please, let me know of ANY -preferably tiny and NOT dependencies encumbered- player I can run on F18 from a LiveCD to play back wma files....

by Kevin Wilson 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hello, I have fedora 18. After boot, running mount | grep fuse shows: gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/0/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime) do I need the second mount (fusectl mount ) ? How can I disable it in boot in case it is not important ? for what do I need the first (gvfsd-fuse) on /run/user/0/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0) after boot ? How can I disable it in boot in case it is not important ? rgs, Kevin

Can't upgrade Fedora 17
by Mateusz Marzantowicz 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

I can't cleanly upgrade my Fedora installation (I use --skip-broken), below is error reported by yum: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package febootstrap-supermin-helper.x86_64 0:3.20-1.fc17 will be obsoleted --> Processing Dependency: febootstrap-supermin-helper >= 3.3 for package: 1:libguestfs-1.18.11-2.fc17.x86_64 ---> Package supermin-helper.x86_64 0:4.1.1-1.fc17.2 will be obsoleting --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 1:libguestfs-1.18.11-2.fc17.x86_64 (@updates) Requires: febootstrap-supermin-helper >= 3.3 Removing: febootstrap-supermin-helper-3.20-1.fc17.x86_64 (@updates) febootstrap-supermin-helper = 3.20-1.fc17 Obsoleted By: supermin-helper-4.1.1-1.fc17.2.x86_64 (updates) Not found Available: febootstrap-supermin-helper-3.14-4.fc17.2.x86_64 (fedora) febootstrap-supermin-helper = 3.14-4.fc17.2 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest This is not rawhide or other testing env. It's frequently updated "stable" F17 system. I'd like to ask here if anybody had this problem, before I start remove/re-install package by package orgy. Mateusz Marzantowicz

Todays's New York Times crossword has "distro" as an answer. I don't think I've ever seen it used in a mainstream publication. poc

Problems with nc command - F18
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hello, I am trying to get Fedora-18-arm on my pogoplug, and having problems so I as told to use netconsole to troubleshoot. I am attempting to follow instructions from: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14,14 I am up to starting nc in listen mode: nc -l -u -p 6666 I have opened udp port 6666 on my notebooks firewall, but I get a usage error, indicating the options are not valid. So I read the manpage, and find out that our nc cannot have l and p together. So I try out: nc -u -p 6666 And I still get the warning. Can anyone point me to what the proper Fedora options are for this?

firewalld files
by Robert Moskowitz 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

I have just built my first F18 box, and of course it is 'special'; it is a Pogoplug running the armv5 distro. I have already had a couple issues with this, and the fedora-arm list told me that these are general fedora issues, so take it to the general fedora list. So to start: What are the firewalld files? I have found one, so far, under /etc/sysconfig. I need to figure out if one failure was I did something wrong with the firewall-cmd line command. thanks
