more selinux errors
by Paul Cartwright
I just rebooted, and got another error with selinux. The error says:
if you want to allow python to have execte access on the file-
You need to change the label on $FIX_TARGET_PATH
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '$FIX_TARGET_PATH'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: abrt_helper_exec_t, bin_t,
boot_t, cupsd_config_exec_t, cupsd_exec_t, etc_t, hostname_exec_t,
ld_so_t, lib_t, prelink_exec_t, shell_exec_t, src_t, system_conf_t,
system_db_t, textrel_shlib_t, usr_t.
Then execute:
restorecon -v '$FIX_TARGET_PATH'
so I run
# semanage fcontext -a -t
abrt_helper_exec_t '$FIX_TARGET_PATH'
[root@pauls-server ~]# restorecon -v '$FIX_TARGET_PATH'
restorecon: lstat($FIX_TARGET_PATH) failed: No such file or directory
what am I doing wrong?

Wireless dropping Router
by Mickey
FC18/KDE , I can no longer update F18 any more
I have a Dell D600 Latitude that is dropping the router dd-wrt. Wireless
networking is okay for about 20- 30 minutes before it drops
If I try to reconnect Wlan0 and Connections there is no dd-wrt router
shown in Connections to connect to.
I have to restart the Laptop to get dd-wrt router to show up in Network
Connections so I can reconnect.
The wireless card on laptop uses the b43legacy driver
The wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4306

Saving Fedora when installing Windows?
by Timothy Murphy
I want to upgrade Windows XP on my laptop to Windows 7,
but I'd like to be sure that I can get back to Linux afterwards.
(I'm sure Windows installation will over-write the MBR.)
One thing I tried without success in the past
was to specify a USB stick when running grub2-install.

btrfs subvolume as an iSCSI target?
by Dan Mossor
I've been combing the web for a couple days, and most hits I'm finding
regarding using a btrfs subvolume as an iSCSI target are posts from the
2009/2010 timeframe stating that that functionality is broken.
I'm working on a couple projects here, and one of those involves the
research into iSCSI targets and initiators, and the testing thereof. I
have an F20 system with a 1.3TB btrfs master subvolume (across three
dissimilar devices), and want to create a subvolume within that to serve
as an iSCSI target.
The traditional methods, specifically those mentioned in the Fedora Wiki
and the tgtadm man pages, place the emphasis on using devices (/dev/sdx)
or files (dd if=/dev/zero of=/array/target1 bs=1k count=1). I realize
that using the file is probably the easiest thing to do in this
instance, but that's not the point of my project - I am intentionally
trying to designate the btrfs subvolume as the target.
The issue I believe that is going to stop me is that tgtadm expects a
block device as the target, and btrfs does not provide that. Is there a
workaround, other than using a file in the subvolume as the target? Is
there work in progress to enable this feature, either in the
scsi-target-utils package or within the btrfs framework?

Making an Accessible Network Install?
by Hunter Jozwiak
Hi guys,
I was wondering if it were possible to put Speakup on a CD of Fedora,
give it software speech, and make an accessible network install disk?
There used to be one, but sadly it is out of business now and has fallen
much by the wayside. I knowthe Live CD has Orca if you get the Gnome
version, but one of the places that accessibility is lacking in the
install process is the network install disc. thoughts welcome.

Fedora 18 not booting after lots of successful boot ups
by takCoder
Hi All,
I'm new in fedora world and here's my first unsolved problem there.. It's
an un-reasoned hang during boot up of a healthy system..
I have installed fedora 18 on a ssd, followed a given process to install
required packages of my goal system, and it was working fine before..
Today I powered my system up and it hanged during boot up.. using 'e' key
and changing gfxpayload value to text showed me this error:
Starting Bluetooth Service...
systemd-readahead[416]: Failed to open pack file: Read-only system
I googled it but I could not find the given error..
Actually there is no need for bluetooth service on my system, but I can't
figure it out what exactly the error is.
Would someone please give me a hand on this? I would really appreciate
that..
Kind regards,
takcoder

RE: Java under Fedora
by Patrick Kobly
FWIW, If you're looking to do anything moderately serious, you're going to want to use Maven to manage your build and dependencies...
$ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.foo.app -DartifactId=helloworld -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
$ cd helloworld
add
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>7.0.12</version>
</dependency>
to the <dependencies> element
$ mkdir src/main/java
Add source files into src/main/java, jsp's / static resources into src/main/webapp, Your web.xml is in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
To build a .war file:
$ mvn package
The war file will be sitting in target/helloworld.war

Bluetooth mouse won't connect
by Patrick O'Callaghan
This is a new install of F20, with all updates applied, using KDE. The
machine has an Nvidia G630 graphics card and a Bluetooth USB dongle.
Running the default Nouveau video driver, I was able to connect my
Sondstrom Bluetooth mouse with no trouble. I then installed the Nvidia
proprietary drivers using akmod, rebooted, and now can't connect to
the mouse. I get the KDE connection dialogue, the mouse appears as a
device, I click on Connect and nothing happens. Turning the mouse off
and on makes no difference, nor does pressing the mouse's connection
button.
I'm assuming this has something to do with the Nvidia driver, but of
course that could be completely wrong. Any hints would be appreciated.
