selecting some kind of files using the resync command
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
I am able to backup files with this command:
rsync -av --delete /home/programmers/Labels /media/saved_labels
but *I am not able to select some kind of files doing the backup*
I tried in many different way:
rsync -av --delete /home/programmers/Labels/*.java /media/saved_lab
rsync -avr --delete /home/programmers/Labels/*.java /media/saved_lab
The message that I get is :
*sending incremental file listrsync: link_stat
"/home/programmers/java/PROJECTS_development/Labels/*.java" failed: No such
file or directory (2)sent 18 bytes received 12 bytes 60.00 bytes/sectotal
size is 0 speedup is 0.00rsync error: some files/attrs were not
transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1165) [sender=3.1.0]*
===========
I would like to know how to start this command (after it is inside a shell
script) at the boot.
Thank you very much
Regards
Angelo

Running Fedora or RHEL7 with NetworkManager
by Bill Davidsen
I have a complex firewall setup running on an older version of Fedora, and I'd
like to upgrade to RHEL7 or recent Fedora. Unfortunately, I can't really do what
I need using firewalld, so two questions:
1 - has anyone done this and were there any serious gotcha's?
2 - is it as easy as removing firewalld and installing networkmanager with yum?
This setup uses two (soon three) ISP connections, any of which can be used as
default, two secure internal networks, and one DMZ for servers. Some connections
must be forced out via a defined ISP, and since Linux doesn't source route like
BSD, I can't just set the source IP and have the packet go out the right
interface, hoops must be jumped.
Any experience to share?

PATH
by Roger
My $PATH has a trailing slash in the last directory path, is there any
way to remove it?
AS example: echo $PATH
/opt/OpenPrinting-Gutenprint/sbin:/opt/OpenPrinting-Gutenprint/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/I've
been googling with no luck.
thanks in advance

memtest86
by JD
Installed latest memtest86
and also updated to latest kernel
but grub.cfg still has no entry for me
to boot memtest86.
I thought installing it would have created
the grub entry, as it had done before long
ago when I was running fc16.
Does anyone have the grub entry to share?

5tFTW: Five Conferences in Fedora This Week! FUDCon Managua, LinuxCon EU, SeaGL, and upcoming FOSDEM and DevConf.cz (2014-10-24)
by Matthew Miller
Reposted from <http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-10-24/>.
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 24th, 2014:
This is a week with a lot of conference activity — today we have an
all-event 5tFTW.
FUDCon LATAM in Managua, Nicaragua
----------------------------------
First up: our Latin American FUDCon is going on right now (yesterday,
today, and tomorrow). We already have some summary posts from Dennis
Gilmore (in English; and he’s planning to post more soon) and Luis
Bazan (in Spanish). More on this event next week!

* http://lokomurdok.blogspot.com/2014/10/inicia-fudcon-managua-2014.html
LinuxCon EU 2014
----------------
Jiří Eischmann reports on Fedora’s presence at the Linux Foundation’s
LinuxCon Europe conference in Düsseldorf, Germany.
A quick quote:
> People were more interested in Fedora Server which is different from
> most events where people are mostly interested in Workstation, but
> it’s not surprising considering the audience. It really helps to
> advertise a specialized product because you can clearly say: if
> you’re interested in server OSes, this is what we have for you and it
> has these interesting features. That’s why I’m glad we have Fedora
> Server. From the marketing point of view, it’s much more appealing to
> have a solution (server product) than just a lego to build it. Quite
> a few people were interested in Fedora as a future of enterprise
> Linux because what they work with and care about is Red Hat
> Enterprise Linux.
… but I think the whole thing is interesting, especially if you’re
interested in how we promote Fedora and interact with the community at
this type of conference.

Seattle GNU/Linux Conference
----------------------------
Another one going on right now — SeaGL in Seattle, Washington. (From
the logo, looks like that’s “seagull” — cute!). Fedora hacker David Gay
(a.k.a. “oddshocks”, and one of the people behind Fedora Badges and
other projects) is speaking on Free Infrastructure later this
afternoon, sharing his experiences and answering questions. Attendance
is free, by the way, so if you’re in Seattle, it’s the obvious thing to
do with your weekend!

FOSDEM 2015 Call for Papers
---------------------------
FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting) is
a gigantic community-organized and oriented conference which takes
place in Brussels every year at the end of January / beginning of
February. Right now, 2015’s conference is in its planning phase, with a
“call for papers” (that is, open submission for talks) open now for
both developer rooms and lightning talks and booths.
Of particular interest to Fedora is the Distribution Devroom:
> The purpose of the distributions devroom is to offer a forum for all
> people interested in distribution issues to meet and collaborate on
> improving the distribution ecosystem. What are the upcoming
> challenges facing the distribution space? How can distribution
> maintainers collaborate better to solve cross-distribution issues?
> What are interesting developments helping distribution developers to
> excel in the distribution space?
If you have a Fedora-related idea, let’s talk about it and get to
planning! (The Fedora Ambassadors mailing list is a good place to
start.)

DevConf.cz 2015 Call for Papers
-------------------------------
Red Hat sponsors a conference in Brno, Czech Republic the week after
FOSDEM, and that too has an open Call for Papers. Continuing on the
success of last February’s event, the next DevConf.cz will feature an
entire Fedora Day — Jiří has details on his blog. Last year, there were
over 1000 attendees, and this year, the venue has been moved to
accommodate even more!

Extremely Off Topic -- but!
by Roger
I've been using Linuxen, mainly Fedora, for many years so am familiar
with Nix command line.
Recently I was provided a new Apple Macbook Pro to be used to develop
specific apps for the App store.
Following a tutorial on computersnyou.com which seems most
comprehensive, installed mysql which worked fine then on Sunday night
upgraded to the new Yosemite OS, mysql died.
I downloaded the .dmg again and reinstalled following the above, hoping
to correct it's config files but now mysql-5.6.20-osx10.8-x86_64 is very
difficult to start.
/usr/local/mysql is in the PATH.
Error is: ERROR 2002 Can't connect to local MYSQL through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
From installation instructions I did ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock
/private/var/mysql/mysql.sock which is no help.
I removed the link and reinstated. Checked that mysql.sock exists.
/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start starts mysql but I
cannot get it to start on boot.
I thought to completely remove mysql and it's dependencies then install
from scratch but there seems to be no way that I can find to delete
mysql file system. I miss yum. Fortunately I can use my old faithful
Linux desktop, Ahh! Home safe.
I searched for local/Vic Apple User group similar to this LUV forum to
ask, with no luck.
AUSOM seems to be a PC Usergroup with some Apple events.
Can someone please advise what's wrong and how to fix, hopefully without
reinstalling. And if there is an apple forum similar to LUV or
Community for Fedora Users
Thanks in advance

f21 workstation(gnome) ping fedora servers every 300seconds
by Branko Grubic
This is about Fedora 21 which is still not released!!! Please read
carefully. And it is only default on Workstation image (that is what I
know)
There is a new feature introduced in Gnome and NetworkManager which
allows 'Captive Portal'[1] services to work. This may be useful feature
for some users (that is why it is implemented), but most users won't use
it, and it pings fedora servers every '300seconds', it is enabled by
NetworkManager and 'NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora' <<
(package/config file) which is default installed in Workstation image
only (currently, unless someone explicitly pull it in for other live
images), 'gnome-shell' package only depends on it.
Because I'm not a security expert, I don't want to say this is security
issue, but privacy issue to some level (probably not critical), as I
understand it, no more information than request to get a file is being
sent (so only your 'IP' is exposed)), It currently uses HTTP to
communicate with fedora servers, but it is planed to use HTTPS [2],
without that you cannot verify who serves that file? (n00b here).
At the moment users aren't aware of this feature, and most users
probably never will find it working in the background, but I think it
shouldn't be enable by default silently, so I filed a 'fesco' ticket for
it [3] (PLEASE DON'T SPAM ON FESCO TICKET!, keep discussion here as much
as it is possible)
Please don't turn this thread to something which it shouldn't be. Be
constructive.
I don't want to insult anyone, just want this to be discussed, and
features like this to be discussed/announced with/to users and
developers in future.
(English is not my native language, I learned some basics from
reading/writing/listening, so, sorry for mistakes)

XBMC Missing NFS Support
by Stephen Morris
XBMC for fedora as supplied by the RPM-fusion respository appears to not
have support for nfs compiled into the rpm. Does anybody know why that
is, or is it the case that in order to get it I have to compile libnfs?

RE: A Linux for the totally maintenance free
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl
Instead of replying with one's own favourite distro,
The answer should be (as to be expected), "that depends on ...."
a) Which distro has all the software that she needs?
there might be distro's that are very user friendly install/maintenance, but if essential software is missing and has to be downloaded upstream, tweaked/patched compiled and so on, well...
b) Who is doing the installation? Your friend? You? Someone else?
If the installation procedure require "some skills" to get optimal result instead of point, click, reboot, get-frustrated, I should say that the most simple might not be the best choice.
c) who is doing support? Automatic updates based on a rolling release or a "long-term-support" version are fine, if you have one around to check it, and help out if it "automatically does not work anymore"
d) hardware support ....
Yeah, linux supports more HW than Microsoft, but I mean, some distro's load such amount of unrequired rubbish, that you run out of cpu/mem before you can do anything.
e) desktop choice. Some distro's offer only a desktop that is far, far from the windows-user experience.
You might up with a working system, with all required SW on it, but if the end user cannot work with it... Even a simple migration from KDE3->KDE4 have resulted in holy wars.
f) application support. I have witness a distro that did not bother to keep up even security related software. When pinging on it, the reply of the maintainer was "No one asked for it."
Someone mentioned Ubuntu. They got certainly a lot of attention. And I have to agree, it's basic installation is as simple to install as, let say windows-7. But there the party end.
Best advise should be, use a spare machine, try and make the decision based on your friends experience, and the quirks you encounter during installation & maintenance

Subject: A Linux for the totally maintenance free
Have a friend who wants to try getting away from windows, which, in spite of all the AV software the vendor had installed on her windows 7, it was plagued by viruses that rendered it unusable.
So, since she is not technically savvy, I was thinking of finding a linux distro that is practically self maintaining, as she has zero tech savvy for doing things like updates, configurations, fililing abrt reports, .....etc.
Any ideas what linux to use for such a person?
Thanx.

Error 2002 is usually a permissions/ownership problem. Try:
cd /var/lib/mysql
touch mysql.sock
chown mysql:mysql mysql.sock
chmod 1777 mysql.sock
now make a sym link into /tmp
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp
then
chmod 1777 /tmp
( These are set in /etc/my.cnf... IF that file exists on a Mac!)
Then stop and re-start the mysql server (mysqld)

My wife's MacAir is a black box to me too. I have NO idea how services
are started on a Mac. Google may be your friend.
