So what went wrong, exactly?
by Tom Horsley 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

When I installed fedora 21 alpha a while back, I was able to get my nvidia GTX 750 Ti to work fairly well with binary drivers from rpmfusion. I've just re-installed 21 from the workstation live iso, and all I can get with a fresh install is the screen that says "Oh no something has gone wrong!". So X is working well enough to display that screen, but it would be nice to know what has gone wrong (and, of course, I have no useful log files since systemd has hidden all info behind cryptic binary files now). Any clues how to investigate this?

Network problem. Is this a fedora issue?
by William Oliver 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

I'm trying to figure out a networking issue, and I can't tell if it is a fedora thing or not. Here's the issue: I work at a place where the wired network has very strict security. One can go to very few web pages, one has very limited access to applications, every box has a keystroke logger, etc. In order to accommodate folk who now rely on web access for their daily lives, there is *also* an essentially open wireless system. Thus, if you want to come to work and browse USAToday.com on your break, you bring in your tablet or laptop, hook up to the wireless and go. Frankly, I think it's a brilliant solution for some of the security issues, because it allows people who want access to have it -- just not on the secure network. Over the past few weeks, basically since I moved to Fedora21, there are extended periods where I simply cannot get to web pages using http. Things will work fine for hours, and then stop for hours, and then come back up. During that time, however, *other* connectivity using the wireless network is fine. So, what I've been driven to do is hook up with an offsite server I own using VNC, and then use the browser on that machine using vncviewer. That, oddly, works fine, and bandwidth is good enough to drive a 1900x600 screen with minimal lag. Calls to the IT department get the usual "We aren't noticing anything, but with the wireless network you are on your own. Anyway, we don't support linux." Is this, or something like it, anything that's been reported as a problem with fedora? Frankly, my suspicion is that they are throttling http traffic -- this tends to happen around noon when all the secretaries are streaming their favorite TV shows... Polling the other staff has been inconsistent. A few have said they have problems when I do, most do not. billo

how to get rid of failed fedup
by Ranjan Maitra 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

So, as you can see from my other post, one of my fedups failed: how do I get rid of everything that it did (and the boot option at startup)?

core_pattern
by Tom Horsley 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

I see the systemd fungus has grown over the /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern file now. Can I make it stop changing it? Or do I have to make an rc.local script to reset it to just plain old 'core'?

21 beta -> 21
by Andras Simon 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

Following suggestions in this list, I'm trying to use yum distro-sync to update a Fedora 21 beta laptop to Fedora 21, but yum wants to remove my running kernel (3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64) and downgrade 87 packages. Should I go ahead with this? Andras

printing broken by f20->f21 update
by Neal Becker 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

I have 2 machines that have both been updated f20->f21. Printing was working before. Now, when I try to print pdf using either okular or evince, all I get are blank pages. I tried deleting the printer on one machine and re-installing. This time with a cover page. The cover page prints. The other pages print blank. I wonder if poppler is to blame. -- -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

nf_conntrack helpers?
by Tom Horsley 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

Should this message mean anything to an ordinary mortal? nf_conntrack: automatic helper assignment is deprecated and it will be removed soon. Use the iptables CT target to attach helpers instead. It comes out a few seconds after the boot completes on my fresh install of f21 workstation live image (64 bit).

Samba 4 support
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

I was asking about Samba 4 on the Samba list and got the following response about Fedora and Samba4: "If you look thru previous posts to this forum you will see that Samba 4 uses Heimdal Kerberos libraries , while Fedora uses MIT kerberos libraries, so you need to recompile Samba 4 from scratch will all the appropriate dependencies. I have not done this. Samba 4 as an AD DC includes its own LDAP server." So what is the story? Does Fedora work for a Samba AD? Though, at this point, I am looking very strongly at staying with an NTDomain setup. I am getting strong recommendations for AD being a separate system from the file server, and I only want one system.
