Permissions on a shared drive in dual boot setup
by Henrik Frisk
Hi,
I have a MBP with a ssd that hosts Fedora 20 and OSx Mavericks in a dual
boot setup. In the laptop I also have a 500GB internal drive on which I
currently have my OSX Home directory. I have this drive (HFS+) mounted r/w
in Linux, but, as perhaps expected, there are a lot of issues with
permissions (files and directories in my OSX Home directory that i can't
access except if I copy them as root).
Is there a way that I can with this disk in Fedora, opening files and
writing files to it that I later can access in OSX as a regular user
similar to how I can move a USB drive from one computer to another without
getting issues with permissions? Or is it not advisable to do what I'm
trying to do? I have to admit that I haven't tried changing permissions on
the existing files on the drive but I suspect that would make them
inaccessible in OSX...
Please note that I have no problem mounting the disk as rw, only accessing
the files that are already there.
Thanks for any input,
/Henrik

I have a scenario I'm not familiar with the answer regarding linux LVM.
How do I systematically deal or solve a problem with a linux LVM setup
particularly a logical volume if one or more physical harddisk that makes
up a logical volume got broken?
Thanks and Best Regards

Fedora 20 & Apple thunderbolt monitor - it just works!!!
by CS DBA
All;
Just thought someone on the list may find this useful:
As a business owner I tried moving to appple, it worked ok for over a
year before I just couldn't take it any more. So I ordered a Thinkpad
W540 with 32G of RAM, the 1920x1080 display - and it comes with a
thunderbolt port.
I suspected that I'd have to kick the 27" Apple thunderbolt display to
the curb along with my macbook pro retina since I got Fedore running on
the macbook pro from a usb stick and the resolution caused all my icons
& fonts to be so small that it was flat un-usable... I assumed I would
have the same issue with the Apple 27" thunderbolt monitor however I was
pleased to find that it just works! fonts are readable, resolution is
amazing - just like it looked with the macbook pro - except now I have
an OS that doesn't tick me off on a daily basis
Woo hoo!!!

Advice on which web browser as a second choice.
by Bill Case
Hi;
I used to use epiphany, now web, as my second browser. Firefox has
always been my first choice.
But I like to use a small really quick browser for extra tasks like
looking up definitions of words or doing a quick wikipedia search while
writing. I want something I can keep small on the page or workplace were
I am currently working and that I can get rid of or out of the way
quickly.
I used Dillo for a while several years ago. I now seem to have quite a
few more choices. Rather than experimenting with them all I am asking
if members of the list have a favourite simple and fast second choice to
Firefox.

Fedora Present and Future: a Fedora.next 2014 Update (Part II, “What’s Happening?”)
by Matthew Miller
I promised a while ago that I would provide a text version of my talk at
DevConf, for people who couldn't make it and because sitting through a video
of me standing up there going on and on doesn't really make for good
followup discussion.
I posted a link to the first part last week:
<http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-present-and-future-a-fedora-next-2014-up...>
and now, Part II:
<http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-present-and-future-a-fedora-next-2014-up...>
And as I said last week, I will take questions, comments, complaints, in any
media including replies here, on the article, on the social media, or at any
bar or coffee shop within walking distance of Boston's MBTA.

smart errors- move grub to sdb ?
by Paul Cartwright
Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 27 Offline uncorrectable sectors
ok, I have a dual-disk setup. /dev/sda has my /home and is getting errors
fedora "/" is actually /dev/sdb1 .
I also have a spare partition on sdb that my /home is copied to daily.
so if /dev/sda dies ( original disk with the computer) I can reboot into sdb and have / and /home ..
BUT grub is probably on sda. With a 2 drive system, how do I either change or copy my grub setup so it can boot from sdb ?

Adding files to Mock environment
by Adam Bishop
Good Morning,
I have a package that I want to rebuild with support for some extra features.
To do this, some non-packaged files (an SDK) need to be available within the build environment.
Is there a configuration directive that can instruct Mock just to copy a directory into the build root?
Thanks,
Adam Bishop

1: Please reply to the list, not me. I have fixed this in my response.
2: I nearly put "before the work of Ernest Rutherford" in my original
post, but didn't. I settled for the sig quote.
Prior to that, atoms were viewed as indivisible, yea, even in the
times of ancient Greece. Regardless of the fact that atoms have
substructure, their supposed indivibility _is_ the reason they were
given the name "atom".
