Can't get tftpd working
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

I have two F21 systems on the same subnet. Client and server. On the server I created a directory /root/tftp with 777 permissions. I have opened up the tftpd service with the firewall gui interface and firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all shows services includes tftp (I am assuming here that firewalld knowns that tftp is a udp app) The server is running tftpd in foreground under sudo: in.tftpd -Lc4pv -s /root/tftp The client connects with 'tftp server' and gets tftp> prompt. A status shows the client is connected to the server (thus firewall is allowing connection). But a put fails with 'Transfer timed out'. There are no messages logged. I have tried increasing verbosity with 'vvv' but no logging. I have even created a file on the server under /root/tftp and tried to 'get' it, which also timed out. So what am I missing here?

Wine installation
by Angelo Moreschini 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

Hi, I used* gnome-software* to install Wine. Now I have on the desk top an icon of "wine" that I can launch. If I search for wine, I have this output: -- [angelo_user@zorro ~]$ sudo find / -iname "q4wine" [sudo] password for angelo_user: /usr/bin/q4wine /usr/lib64/q4wine /usr/share/doc/q4wine /usr/share/q4wine find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied /home/angelo_user/.config/q4wine ---- The problem come when I use the application (when I launch wine)... ...then I get some messages of error that say the application is not properly installed. The first one is: ------- Cannot find or execute the 'wine' binary. Make sure that this binary is available by search PATH variable and see also INSTALL file for application depends. ------- After this messages come a wizard to help me to do the set up of Wine... The first steps of the wizard ask me : - wine bin: - wine server: - wine loader: - wine libs ..: I am not able to set correctly this data .... (for example wine server in not installed). So I am confused .. because gnome-software don't seem it made the installation.... also gnome-software didn't get me a .rpm file to use for the installation... What I have to do ??? Regards Angelo

extremely slow shell starts (trying to debug, dbus related)
by Neal Becker 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

On my server, after updating f20->f21, shell startup is _extremely_ slow. Using strace, it appears that the problem is dbus 08:22:57 connect(5, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL, sun_path="/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"}, 33) = 0 ... 08:22:57 recvmsg(5, 0x7fff640c3970, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) 08:22:57 poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}]) 08:23:22 recvmsg(5, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"l\3\1\0013\0\0\0\4\0\0\0m\0\0\0\6\1s\0\7\0\0\0:1.1155\0"..., 2048}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 179 08:23:22 write(6, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 Notice the 30second wait for a response from dbus? Also in /var/log/messages, various dbus messages such as: Dec 30 08:19:32 nbecker7 su: (to root) nbecker on pts/0 Dec 30 08:20:02 nbecker7 dbus[809]: [system] Connection has not authenticated soon enough, closing it (auth_timeout=30000ms, elapsed: 30004ms) Any hints? -- -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

Fedup issues
by Robin Laing 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Overall, I say that this worked pretty good. Two machines different problems. First machine, F20 to F21. Full procedure followed and install went almost 100% perfect. Only issue remaining is that I have two F20 kernels listed via rpm but not when I run yum list kernel. I removed on kernel with yum and they were all listed. Now I cannot remove any others by yum. I have rebuilt the rpm database rpm --rebuilddb On the second machine, I removed the F20 kernels from the lowest number to the highest, one at a time. Machine seems to work perfectly. Machine 2. Dual boot, Win 8.1 / Fedora. While running fedup, is stuck at the end. Before the shutdown and reboot. Don't know what happened but after two hours of sitting there, I shut down. On reboot, machine couldn't find the grubenv. I found a bug and followed some of the instructions and now it boots. Before I got to this point, I couldn't boot into any of the F20 kernel listed and the rescue mode wouldn't let me mount any of the unused partitions automatically. I removed the old kernels using yum one at a time from the lowest version to the latest. Only issue that I see to have right now is that the /home/user partitions are not mounting but fstab doesn't look like it was changed. I will have to check pam-mount configuration. Don't know if encryption has had anything to do with this. Only 3 more machines to do. Two from F19 to F21. Will find out if encryption has anything to do with this.

F21 - Huge icons
by David A. De Graaf 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Icons are taking over the World! In Fedora 21, that is. I've always been afraid that the GUI generation would eventually make Linux completely unusable, and now they've almost succeeded. :-) In a few F21 GUI panels the icons are grotesquely large - 1.75 inches square on a 15 inch wide monitor. Normal size would be ~0.25 in. This makes the panel nearly incomprehensible. This occurs in, eg, system-config-printer system-config-firewall virt-manager A screenshot is attached of virt-manager running an instance of Centos 7 on the Fedora 21 host. [No, it's not! GUI's are OK; images of them are too big for this list. Sigh...] The virt-manager icons are so big that that the virtual window cannot be enlarged to a proper size. A possible clue to the error are the messages in the root window following the virt-manager command: [root@datwiz ~] # virt-manager [root@datwiz ~] # (virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:67:18: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'. (virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:67:20: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'. Similar messages appear when system-config-printer is invoked. Unfortunately these mean nothing to me. FWIW, I installed F20 using the wonderful Live Xfce4 images ( thank you Kevin Fenzi ), and have completely avoided the dreaded Gnome. I've enabled multi-user.target so that neither lightdm nor gdm can destroy my env variables. My questions to you all: Does anyone see these huge icons in the example programs? Can anyone guess the problem with the Theme? Am I the only one with the problem? On three machines, so far? -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc.

VM access to base system files
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Well I got my first VM created and in it. Got Firefox installed and adblock plugged in... There are two things I want to do next. First to access files in my base system. Like my real /home/me stuff. So far my searching how to do this has come up empty. Next I will want to set up firefox to run proxy through an SSH tunnel to a server on my net. This is for when I am on the road to give me a trusted connection for a number of things. But hopefully this will be a 'simple' SSH tunnel with port 80/443 proxy support. thanks

Evolution not filtering
by Mike Chambers 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

In Fedora 21, using evolution-3.12.9, in KDE (maybe it happens in gnome as well?), anyone having trouble with evolution not downloading all the emails, via imap, as in just stops? Mine does that, and if I close it, then open again, it shows and gets the emails. And sometimes it either doesn't filter at all, or it does, and acts like it leaves a copy showing in the inbox? Had no issues with the version from fedora 20 at all. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best little town on Earth!"

New to building VMs. Build stalled at 597/1241
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

I have finally buckled down to learn to make a VM. Now I probably bit off a bit much. I am installing from my local repo. For some reason it said this is a test image. My netinst to this notebook did not say that. Something MAY be left over in my repo from the beta. I then specified the URL of my updates repo. This worked fine both on this notebook and my Asus i386 notebook. I then selected Xfce desktop and really a minimal set of tools, on 10Gb storage. The install started and for the last ~2 hours it has been sitting at 597/1241 on the install status. The message is installing yum. I can access my repo server, though I don't see any activity on it. I have been following the instructions at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization And am using the GUI virutual manager.

Saving ios data -
by Bob Goodwin 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Can iPhone data be saved to my Fedora-21 computer and be transferred to another iPhone. This seems to be a common problem in this family when they get new phones. Apparently they are putting the stuff on an iCloud server and that raises hell with my bandwidth usage numbers ... It seems to me it should be possible to store it locally? Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-21/64bit Linux/XFCE
