GNOME battery display doesn't agree with /sys data
by Dave Mitchell 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

My laptop, which is running F18 and GNOME, has been plugged in all day. I've just noticed that the battery level indicator on the top bar is indicating that the battery is being charged, and is only at 39%. However: # cd /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 # cat energy_full_design 57200000 # cat energy_full 54956000 # cat energy_now 52657000 (wait a few minutes, then...) # cat energy_now 52657000 Which leads me to suspect that my battery is in fact fully charged, and that there's a bug in GNOME. So, 1) is my conclusion correct, 2) and if so, what component would I need to report a bug against? -- Dave's first rule of Opera: If something needs saying, say it: don't warble it.

Can't Load Fedora 15
by Bill Kuns 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

My computer died, so I have to make a new one. The thing comes up nicely, but when I try to load the Fedora 15 I've been using, it won't go. I keep getting this screen which demands that I select a driver. What driver? Where do I find the blasted thing? Isn't there a driver on the Fedora 15 DVD? I hope someone can help. Bill Kuns

That's the wrong approach. As I mentioned earlier, rsnapshot, obnam and others can do incremental backups which take up little space. They are also better run as cron jobs, i.e. automatically. I run mine when my system is quiescent (4am every day) but again that's your call. And it goes without saying that the backup should be to another machine, e.g. using rsync or a net-mounted filesystem. Note that these are recommendations for a personal system that you can't afford to lose. For larger systems you might want to look at solutions such as Amanda or Bacula (not that these won't work on a personal system as well, they just need a bit more setting up). -----Original Message----- I can second that. We're using rsnapshot for over 100 systems, combined with the traditional method that came from the days that people were still using tapes: daily (incremental), weekly(full), monthly (full). And if you are worried about size, we do only the changeable stuff. (/home, /etc, /srv) Anything else we regard as waste-of-time, as systems (iron&virtual) are installed automatically from templates in less than a few minutes.

Fedora 18 won't print in Landscape mode.
by Mickey 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Has anyone had this problem, even tho you change settings to print Landscape it will only print in Portrait There is a Bug report, I assume on this problem and they said they would test the problem in Fedora 19, does this mean we will not see a fix in Fedora 18 ? we will have to wait 6 months or longer till Fedora 19 comes out, I hope not . https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907364

Hello, default 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 f18 install kernel is ok. Instead both kernel-3.8.4-202.fc18 and 3.7.9-205.fc18 stop at boot with error and systemd emergency shell and journalctl shows like in this picture: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvd0Z0bExhTDYxQjQ/edit?usp=sharing any hint?

postfix, /etc/alias db?

Mar 16 13:14:37 Updated: 2:postfix-2.9.6-1.fc18.x86_64 Mar 31 10:25:08 Updated: 2:postfix-2.9.6-4.fc18.x86_64 my last two times updating my mail server postfix started and didn't use the definition of /etc/alias.dbm . I ran newaliases && systemctl restart postfix and it saw them. Is there anything in the upgrade that would maybe delete the db? ... odd ... part of my postfix's main.cf ... alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases g.

Re: Fedora 18 won't print in Landscape mode.

Hi, Most likely not a fedora issue. I have simular behaviour with other distro. Looks like a cups-problem. Hw ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: Jim [mailto:binarynut@comcast.net] Verzonden: Sunday, March 31, 2013 06:04 PM W. Europe Standard Time Aan: Fedora user-lists <users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Onderwerp: Fedora 18 won't print in Landscape mode. Has anyone had this problem, even tho you change settings to print Landscape it will only print in Portrait There is a Bug report, I assume on this problem and they said they would test the problem in Fedora 19, does this mean we will not see a fix in Fedora 18 ? we will have to wait 6 months or longer till Fedora 19 comes out, I hope not . https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907364 -- users mailing list users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

driver for a printer connected to a remote computer
by antonio montagnani 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

A printer connected to a computer on my network is easily discovered but driver is generally a Raw generic driver: therefore I cannot use part of options (i.e. printing multiple pages on a single sheet and so on). If I want to have full functionality I have to install driver by hand using system-config-printer. (I am using a Samsung ML-1610 laser printer) Is this behaviour normal??
