yumex auto checks for updates even though not checked
by Robert Moskowitz
This is a long-time question for me....
When I start yumex, it looks for what updates are waiting to be
installed. If there are none, that screen is empty. I want yumex for
new things. I want it just to go to 'Available' packages.
The preferences are the defaults. The 'Autocheck for Updates' is NOT
selected.
What gives here?

Accessing a Samsung galaxy mini from Fedora 20 via USB.
by Andy Johnson
Hi,
I want to access a Samsung galaxy mini smartphone from Fedora 20 via USB.
I am able to do it from windows with Kies (when I plug the USB phone it asks for
USB storage confirmation, and when I press OK everything is fine).
When I connect the galaxy mini smartphone to a Fedora 20 desktop I see
this messages in the kernel log:
usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access SAMSUNG GT-S5570 Card 0100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
but fdisk -l does not show /dev/sdb
and:
simple-mtpfs -l
shows:
No raw devices found
Should I install some software on the smartphone to enable access from Fedora ?
regards,
Andy

Possible OT question
by CS DBA
Hi All;
Our company is hosting an upcoming "Open Data Summit" conference
(opendatasummit.com)
I've posted to a few relevant mailing lists, such as the PostgreSQL
Announce list.
Before I post here and potentially step over a line that I shouldn't I
wanted to pose the question,
would it be ok/appropriate for me to post a "call for speakers"
announcement here?
or is this simply too far off topic?
Thanks in advance

fastestmirror exclude doesn't seem to be working?
by Michael D. Setzer II
I've used the exclude option to exclude .au, .nz. and .cz, and in the past it
has worked find. Now in setting up new systems with Fedora 20, it doesn't
seem to work. I'm located on Guam, and it appears that the process sees
identifies AU and NZ as being closer, but the internet connect to there is very
slow. Was just doing a yum install, and getting 68K, but campus 100Mb
connection. Had the same issue with downloading the DVD iso images. At
first the web link connected me to AU site, and it was going to take 14 hours
estimate to download. Cancelled and went directly to mirror.kernel.org and
got the image in about 30 minutes.
Anyone know of a way to get yum to use US sites rather than geographically
close sites? Same with the web browsers connecting to sites.
Thanks.

firewall help
by Sherman Grunewagen
I have a new Epson WF3540 printer/scanner that's on my LAN.
Printing works. I downloaded the free version of VueScan
in order to use the scanner but I can't get it to see
the scanner through the firewall. If I do
systemctl stop firewalld.service
then VueScan sees and controls the scanner. I wrote
the author of VueScan and he said:
You need to configure the firewall so it lets
VueScan communicate with the scanner through
the firewall. It's using mDNS UDP packets.
In the iptables -L output I see several lines that look like
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:mdns ctstate NEW
Not sure what to do next. I'm not too familiar with
firewall rules. I'm running Fedora 18.

F20 - Unintended consequences of no default MTA - How best to fix
by Robert Moskowitz
An unintended consequence of no default MTA in f20 is no local deliver
of system mail. It IS possible to just ignore (or leave it to the logs)
stuff going on in a desktop system, but services like logwatch are very
helpful to maintain a healthy system. Plus there is cron for regular
tasks we like to perform.
So no MTA seems good IF we can configure mailx to do the local
deliveries. I am kind of assuming that some changes to /etc/mail.rc
might do part of the job. Probably some /bin/sendmail script that maps
sendmail arguments to a mailx call. Plus if you DO install sendmail or
postfix, it should undo this setup.
I suppose I should submit a bug report on this as the best way to get
the developer's attention.
But does anyone have any good recommendation(s) on how to do this? I
kind of like no MTA on resource straped systems, but we need to address
local delivery.

F20 installation of Lenovo laptop crashes and kernel paramters
by David Shwatrz
Hi,
F20 installation of Lenovo laptop crashes again and again
(reboot in the middle of installation settings stage);
I remember that in the past, with previous Fedora versions, when I had
a crash in installation (not on this laptop) I had set these kernel
parameters of the Linux text based installation:
nousb noapic noacpi
and it avoided the crash and the installation succeeded.
I did not try this yet with the laptop, but beforehand my question is:
apart from these kernel parameters, is there another parameter which
you suggest to add to provide better chances of success in
installation ?
regards,

Fwd: Gnome 3 favorites list cut off at bottom of screen
by Jake Dancer
Hello,
I'm running with a fully updated Fedora 20 system. When I click on the
"activities" icon in the upper left corner, I get the favorites list,
except the bottom part is now cut off. I believe Gnome should be switching
to a small set of icons for the list. Up until a few days ago I would see
the complete list using smaller icons, but no longer. I have quite a few
packages installed on this system, so it's possible that one of them is
messing up Gnome's icon switching software. Does anyone have any idea
where Gnome hides the favorites list? I think it should be in my home
directory, but multiple searches have not located it. I have this problem
on multiple machines, but they all have the same packages installed. What
I would like to do is temporarily remove each favorite item, one at a
timeto see which icron is causing the trouble/ Any better ideas to try?
