Driver for RTL8192su chipset
by JD
Hi I have a usb wifi dongle which uses the
RTL8192su chipset.
I found the following drivers in the current kernel:
$ find
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi
-name \*.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723com/rtl8723-common.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/rtl8723be.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192de/rtl8192de.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/rtl8192ce.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl_usb.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8188ee/rtl8188ee.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtlwifi.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192se/rtl8192se.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192c/rtl8192c-common.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl_pci.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/btcoexist/btcoexist.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723ae/rtl8723ae.ko
None of these drivers supports the RTL8192su chipset.
I found the URL:
https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su
but they want you to use their git wireless kernel source to build the
driver:
"...Currently, only kernels built from the latest wireless-testing.git
are supported...."
The driver from
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=48&L...
does not compile as it was made for a much older kernel.
Wondering is anyone has a working driver for fc20 for this chipset.
Thanx!

smplayer nagware
by Tim
I thought I'd escaped from this sort of crap when I shifted to Linux,
all those years ago. I've just started up smplayer and got a pop-up
saying "you can support SMPlayer by sending a donation or sharing it
with your friends," with buttons to donate with paypal, and so something
with facebook or twitter.

5tFTW: Fedora Beta, Council & Elections, Strategic Planning, Outreach Committee, and FUDCon Reports (2014-10-31)
by Matthew Miller
Reposted from <http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-10-31/>.
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that
goes on. This series highlights interesting happenings in five
different areas every week. It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just
quick summaries with links to each. Here are the five things for
October 31st, 2014:
Fedora Beta due Next Week
-------------------------
I’ll keep this item short: Fedora 21 Beta is Go, and will be available
Tuesday, November 4th. Next week, we’ll do an all-beta 5tFTW.
This puts the final release target at December 9th. As always, these
targets are more like guidelines than deadlines, but as we are verging
on the holiday season we are going to make extra effort to avoid
further adjustment.

* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule
* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GMkuPiIZ2k
Council Update and Elections
----------------------------
The Fedora Council — our new top-level leadership body — includes
two of seats appointed by elected committees and two seats elected by
the Fedora Contributor community at large. The appointed seats covering
Fedora Engineering and Fedora Outreach (more on that below) are now
filled, by Josh Boyer and Christoph Wickert respectively.
(Congratulations and thank you to Josh and Christoph!) Now it’s time to
fill the elected seats — see the schedule announcement for details.
Quick summary: nomination period next week; “campaign” week after that,
and finally a week for community voting after that. The Council will
take over from the Fedora Project Board when this is complete.

Fedora Objectives
-----------------
If you haven’t seen it already, I would like everyone who cares about
what Fedora does and where the project is going to take a look at my
recent Fedora Magazine article about Fedora objectives — why, how, and
eventually what.
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, high-level strategy discussions can
feel disconnected and pointless. This is a process by which we can
actually connect them into what we’re doing in a meaningful way, and by
doing so increase the impact of our actions. Take a look, and take part
in upcoming discussions on the public board discuss list.

* https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2014-October/003235.html
* https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/board-discuss
Fedora Outreach Steering Committee?
-----------------------------------
Fedora has long had two high-level elected steering committees, FESCo,
the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee, and FAmSCo, the Fedora
Ambassadors Steering Committee. The meritocratic representative
positions on the Council are appointed by these committees.
This is straightforward for the relatively wide-reaching FESCo, but the
seat appointed by FAmSCo is actually intended to represent a much
broader section of the project than ambassadors alone. This lead to a
discussion about creating a new Outreach steering committee, tying
together and coordinating efforts of Ambassadors, Marketing,
Brand/Design, some aspects of the product Working Groups, Docs, various
support channels — overall, all the parts of the project which are
outward looking rather than focused on building the distro and
infrastructure.
Since FAmSCo has successfully delegated a lot of responsibility to
regional ambassadors committees, and since the new Council will work on
the high level community budget, this new body would make FAmSCo
obsolete — so we’re not just piling on yet more committees, here!
If you’re interested, join the new Fedora Outreach mailing list and
let’s start building this!

Reports from FUDCon Managua
---------------------------
As promised last week, some updates from FUDCon Managua, our
user-and-developer conference held this year in Nicaragua. Check out
reports from:
- Alejandro Prez (Lots of pictures and people!)
- William Moreno Reyes (In Spanish *and* English!)
- Rino Rondan (All in Spanish, although the photographs are
multilingual)
- Robert Mayr (Just “day 0″ so far; check back for more updates
from robyduck!)
- Kiara Navarro (In Spanish with a lot of details, and again a lot
of photos — and also, there’s part 2 and part 3)
- Abdel G. Martínez L. (Particularly, highlights positive impact
of the event on project contribution — nice!)
- Daniel Bruno (In English)
Thanks to everyone who made these reports, and thanks to the FUDCon
LATAM organizers, and congratulations to everyone on yet another
successful Fedora Premier Event!

password troubles
by Beartooth
I'm having troubles getting some PCs to accept their passwords,
either directly to sign in, or over ssh from another machine, or both.
I've even had a situation (more than once) where A would not let me ssh
in from B -- but I could ssh from B to C, and from C to A.
No matter how carefully I type, watching each finger onto the
next key ; even if I type out the password on another tab (so that I can
inspect it), then cut & paste; I still get this :
[btth@localhost ~]$ ssh 192.168.1.123
btth(a)192.168.1.123's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
btth(a)192.168.1.123's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
btth(a)192.168.1.123's password:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).
[btth@localhost ~]$
Also my old Dell PowerEdge SC1420 (long since reconfigured to be
a PC with two hard drives, not a server with one and a backup) does not
let me ssh in with userid, but only as root.
I've also tried a big hammer, revising a set of known hosts.
Sometimes that does the job; but sometimes it does only this :
[btth@localhost ~]$ nano .ssh/known_hosts
[btth@localhost ~]$ ssh 192.168.1.123
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.123 (192.168.1.123)' can't be
established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 36:2e:66:7e:e8:e9:96:ae:37:bd:99:da:38:5b:37:fb.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.123' (ECDSA) to the list of known
hosts.
btth(a)192.168.1.123's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
.... and so on, till it locks me out for trying too many times.
Fwiw, at one point I went out and bought a nice brand spanking
new keyboard. No change.

Gnome 3.12/3.14: how to define default keyboard layout
by Pavel Lisy
Hello
I'm using Fedora 20 with Gnome 3.12 from Copr repo. I've found one bad
regression in latest gnome versions. There is not possibility how to set
default keyboard (I use "us" and "cs"). It seams that it use last state
(even after reboot and new login). This is even worse when I set
"Allow different sources for each window"
I've just tested Fedora 21 Alpha with Gnome 3.14 and there is the same
problem.
In Cinnamon (Linux Mint 17) there is possible to choose
( ) New windows use the default layout
( ) New windows use the previous window's layout
Is there any possibility how to define it?

iptables adding rules not in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
by JD
These are the rules being added that I do not care for:
# iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53
ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:53
ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:67
ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:67
Why is this taking place?
I do not have any other superuser script that would do this.

Fedora 20 on an old tablet PC
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I would like to install (and use) Fedora 20/21 on an old Gateway TB120 tablet PC (2Gb memory, 300GB disk, Core2 Duo processor, etc) that has been lying around at work. I was wondering if anything special is needed wrt installation and how to get the stylus, etc going. According to the shell of the laptop, it appears to have a Wacom device. Is there any place I can read up on this? I am interested in being able to use the tablet features and the stylus.
Is the generic Fedora Gnome spin the best one to use or is something else more preferable?
Sorry for all these questions: I have no experience with tablets but I thought that this might be worth trying and learning!
Thanks again for any advice!
Best wishes,
Ranjan

uzbl & twm: geometry issue
by Hiisi
Hi, list!
I'm trying to configure my twm installation. According to [1] I've created
.Xclients in my home directory with the following content:
XCLIENTS_D=/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.d
if [ "$#" -eq 1 ] && [ -x "$XCLIENTS_D/Xclients.$1.sh" ]; then
exec -l $SHELL -c "$SSH_AGENT $XCLIENTS_D/Xclients.$1.sh"
fi
# Failsafe.
# these files are left sitting around by TheNextLevel.
rm -f $HOME/Xrootenv.0
# Argh! Nothing good is installed. Fall back to twm
{
# gosh, neither fvwm95 nor fvwm2 is available;
# fall back to failsafe settings
[ -x /usr/bin/xsetroot ] && /usr/bin/xsetroot -solid '#222E45'
if [ -x /usr/bin/xclock ] ; then
/usr/bin/xclock -geometry 130x130-5+5 &
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/xcalc ] ; then
/usr/bin/xcalc -geometry 200x250-1710+780 &
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/xterm ] ; then
/usr/bin/xterm -geometry 80x50-50+170 &
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/uzbl-tabbed ] ; then
/usr/bin/uzbl-tabbed &
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/twm ] ; then
exec /usr/bin/twm
fi
}
Everything works fine except that when twm is loading I have to point with
mouse click where uzbl-tabbed browser window should be placed.
Is there any way to configure an automatic window position? If I'm trying
-geometry option it doesn't start at all. Why is that?
TIA

lto/xfs filesystem recover.
by Gary Artim
I have a xfs filesystem (4 drives) and one died /dev/sdc1. It was used for
backup and trying to recover one directory. Any ideas would be great. I was
able to drop the volume that died and have a pv of 3 now, but getting lvm
to recognize (create a dev) is not happening
parted /dev/sdx
mklabel gpt
mkpart primary xfs 1 -1 (sometime xfs doesnt work until the xfsprogs are
installed and reboot)
set 1 lvm on
do this for each drive.
pvcreate /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
vgcreate backup /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
lvcreate -L 9T -n backuplv backup
mkfs.xfs -L backuplv /dev/mapper/backup-backuplv
/dev/mapper/backup-backuplv /xfs xfs (in fstab)
any ideas welcomed.
