ABRT backtrace generation - how long to wait?
by Ian Pilcher
LibreOffice just crashed on me, and I'm currently waiting on the retrace
server to generate a backtrace. In fact, I've been waiting for about 50
minutes so far.
My question is when I should just give up and (possibly) try to generate
it locally.
Anyone know?

Expected login behavior with gnome?
by Richard Shaw
I had forgotten that my computer shut down (bad UPS battery) and had
rebooted it but not logged in.
Later that day I typed in my password forgetting that i hadn't logged in
while I waited for the monitor to wake up (bad practice, I know...)
Interestingly, when I clicked on my login name, the password field was
populated and I was able to login without retyping it.
Is this behavior expected?
Thanks,
Richard

Setup for a static ethernet connection
by Geoffrey Leach
I have a hard-wired ethernet connection. I'm trying to get Fedora 19 to work with it. Firewalld configuration has scripts added to open a route to the device. AFAIK, these are correct. The device is known to work.
Here's the entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
NAME="eno1"
DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="no"
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL="no"
TYPE="Ethernet"
ONBOOT="yes"
PEERROUTES="yes"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_PEERDNS="yes"
PEERDNS="yes"
HWADDR="E8:40:F2:05:DE:1C"
#BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPV6_DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"
IPV6_PEERROUTES="yes"
IPADDR="198.168.20.5"
It's basically what the install gave me with the addition of IPADDR and removal of UUID (which seems to change) BOOTPROTO has changed from dhcp to static.
My problem is that I can't connect to the device, despite nm-tool
- Device: em1 [eno1] ----------------------------------------------------------
Type: Wired
Driver: e1000e
State: connected
Default: no
HW Address: E8:40:F2:05:DE:1C
IPv4 Settings:
Address: 198.168.20.5
and netstat -rn
198.168.20.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 em1
Suggestions for modifications or further diagnostics would be appreciated

Off topic -- Can anybody tell me what this means?
by William Oliver
First, I apologize for this not being fedora-specific, but I just got
the oddest email. It looks like an intrusion attempt, trying to get
sendmail to execute a perl script. Is anybody familiar with this
particular pattern?
The email is below.
Thanks,

by Ranjan Maitra
Hello,
I get the following message repeatedly from syslogd, after a wakeup from
hibernate:
kernel:do_IRQ: 0.81 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)
I am running kernel 3.6.3-200 on a fully updated F20.
Any suggestions as to how to diagnose and fix the issue?
Thanks,
Ranjan

Gramps colors -
by Bob Goodwin
I received the following response for help from the Gramps list:
> How can I have Gramps with white text on a black background? I really
"From your mail headers, it looks as though you're running a Linux
machine. Based on that assumption;
Gramps picks up colours from your desktop environment's theme. You'll
have to make changes to that."
I don't know where to make those changes in this case, what do I need to do?
This is Fedora 20/64 bit XFCE as the signature should show.
Thanks,
Bob

restarting mysql databases
by Robert Moskowitz
I am doing an install of a mysql system, and decided that I needed to
change some things like host name. So I have to go back to square one
with the mysql setup, but can't find any instructions for this. I TRIED:
mysql_install_db
And it did SOMETHING, but
mysqladmin -u root password 'mypass'
failed with:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
