I must be missing something basic
by Dave Stevens 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

I want to transfer a dvd image from my laptop (ubuntu 12.04.2) to my fedora 18 box that has selinux disabled. Wired connection to my router allows F18 to browse to U12 and see the file and right click copy, but trying to paste into a folder in my /home/dave directory gives a terse 'permission denied.' Ideas? will Read TFM if pointed. D -- Dave Stevens <geek(a)uniserve.com> The problem with being cynical is you can't keep up! -- anon. philosopher

Configuring emacs in F18
by Lain Cortés González 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hey, hi, I was trying to customize the theme color of emacs itself and I don't know why it doesn't work, I really mean it I don't have any idea of what is wrong My .emacs looked like in first place ;; .emacs > > (custom-set-variables > ;; uncomment to always end a file with a newline > '(require-final-newline t) > ;; uncomment to disable loading of "default.el" at startup > '(inhibit-default-init t) > ;; default to unified diffs > '(diff-switches "-u")) > > (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/") > > ;;; uncomment for CJK utf-8 support for non-Asian users > ;; (require 'un-define) > > then I add this to it to add a little of _good_ taste: > > (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/") > > (defun color-theme-nice () > (interactive) > (color-theme-install > '(color-theme-nice > ((background-color .

Some help will be absolutely welcomed -Isaac

How to configure yum to not check for free inodes?
by Clemens Eisserer 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi, I am using Fedora-19-Alpha with nilfs2 on /. While everything worked great with Fedora 17, the updated version of yum also check for free inodes before executing the transaction: > Transaction check error: > installing package ..... needs 40 inodes on the / filesystem Which is just plain wong in case of nilfs, as it has no inode limit. Is there any way to disable that check? diskspacecheck=0 in /etc/yum.conf didn't help unfortunately :/ Thank you in advance, Clemens

Using time zone UTC-5 (or GMT-5, or EST5)
by Bill Davidsen 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

I am getting some data on mountable media, and the device which writes the files runs in EST or whatever you want to call five hours west of Greenwich with no daylight time. The problem is that on a FAT or ISO-9660 filesystem, the date and time seem to all jump an hour during daylight time. Is there a better way to get the time correct than to run a separate system which doesn't use daylight savings? I have tried exporting TZ=EST5 (or EST or UTC-5 or GMT-5) to the mount command or the rsync command, that doesn't seem to help anything, I need the incoming data treated as EST, while the machine is at EST5EDT. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen(a)tmr.com> We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have taken the first step.

Who? Me?? Attacked???
by Beartooth 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Arora has just crashed. SELinux reports that I may be under attack and should report. I'm guessing it's a lot more likely SELinux is being needlessly paranoid. (I'm running F17, fully updated, and arora had a probably excessive number of tabs open.) Is this guess plausible? What should I do? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

disk spindown
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

Has anyone succeeded in spinning down disks under Fedora? I've done the following and the "hdparm -C" does show the disk spun down, but the next time I look it is spun up, and it stays up. The disk is unmounted and I've stopped and disabled smartd, so it isn't accessing the disks. I don't think anything else is either. I'm probably missing a trick somewhere, but what??? disk=/dev/sdc hdparm -S 120 $disk hdparm -y $disk hdparm -C $disk -wolfgang -- g+: https://plus.google.com/114566345864337108516/about
