ping -R on Fedora 18 d does not work (firewalld problem?)
by Kevin Wilson 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hello, I try: ping -R www.google.com I get: PING www.google.com (173.194.113.112) 56(124) bytes of data. but the list of nodes does not appear, and I wait for more than 5 minutes. traceroute www.google.com gives immediately the list of nodes. This is fedora 18, iptables stopped (and flushed), firewalld stopped. Could it be somehow due to not flushing firewalld rules ? (I don't know much about firewalld) regards, Kevin

Fedora on Intel Haswell
by Anthony 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I've been waiting for a x86 mobile ready chip for a while and it looks like Haswell might just be the answer. I'm wondering though: since it's based on the x86 arch, does that mean Fedora will run on it without modifications?

upowerd
by lee 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hi, what does upowerd actually do? The "documentation" only says "upowerd provides the org.freedesktop.UPower service on the system message bus."[1] What does that mean? When I look at [2], all it does seems to do is to allow to know when power sources are added or removed --- which is something that never happens. I don't have any hot pluggable PSUs.

Small home web server
by Roger 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I am looking into building or acquiring a small fairly silent low power web server for my home office. Reason is that I need to develop and run a small number of Ruby2 Rails 4 applications. These will have low traffic around 200 hits per day possibly up to 500 hits over 24 hours in heavy load times, but most of the time we expect 20-40 per day. It will be turned off at 10:30 pm and restarted about 8-9 am. It will be Centos or Fedora OS, Ubuntu has been recommended but I prefer Fedora. I have a TG782t modem. Have looked into shared servers, VPS, Heroku and each has more problems than enough. Shared servers won't host Rails. VPS is way too expensive for the small requirements High security is not needed, if it got hacked I'd just reinstall everything. But I do need my developer pc isolated against any attacks Heroku uses only postgres I would rather mariaDB, sqlite or mysql. Apparently postgres doesn't handle images too well but I have no knowledge on that. What would you recommend please. Help greatly appreciated Thanks in advance Roger

Re: converting text to pdf

And they all work. I am having trouble finding any option, method,etc to "print-to-file". (I did install cups-pdf, and I imagine it just works. I see cups-pdf listed in the printer list.) But what I would really like is what Tim describes. Tim, just what do you mean by "call up the print requestor"? some path in http://localhost:631 ? or some way to query lpr? And how do you generate your options? And just what is SVG? Jack, feeling very stupid, as if this is or should all be common linux knowledge.

Fedora18, updates, busted wifi
by jmaclean 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hey chaps, My Lenovo x220 laptop was working fine and dandy with f18 until I ran an update. Then suddenly my wifi stopped working. I __think__ it was because the iwl1000 wasn't being loaded or something similar. In any case, how can I prevent this from happening again? Would it be looking at a package's changelog to see if I can work out if, (for example), a kernel update would mean that graphics, wireless etc may not work for my hardware? I'm going to try fedora19 this evening and will most likely exclude iwl* from being ever updated. Any other suggestions are very welcome. Cheers. /sys/john

new selinux alert on F19
by Fred Smith 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hi all! I've been running F19 (alpha and now beta) on my Acer Aspire One D255E netbook for a few weeks now. just today when I booted up I got this alert I've not gotten before. I know how to teach selinux not to alert for that, but I don't know if it's an action that SHOULD be allowed or not. It also give another alert, apparently at boot, for complaining that /usr/sbin/lightdm tried to create file .dmrc.0GT8WW, presumably in my home directory, though it didn't explicitly say. Wondering if these are bugs/features introduced in recent updates... I'd appreciate advice on what to do here. thanks! Fred - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The alert says: The source process: /usr/libexec/accounts/daemon Attempted this access: read on this directory: /var/log Here's the "details" output: SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon from read access on the directory /var/log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that accounts-daemon should be allowed read access on the log directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
