Laptop bootup randomly stalls
by Richard Shaw 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

My wife's laptop has been having some sort of problem booting up since F18, though I have no idea if the current problem with F20 is the same problem or not. The bootup process will randomly stall and most of the time you can't get to a VT though it isn't locked up as a Ctl-Alt-Del will cause a proper shutdown and reboot. There's a lot of noise trying to find the issue in journalctl -b -1 (after a successful boot) but I think MAYBE this is it...

FC20 and (":No such file or directory)
by Gregory P. Ennis 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

Everyone, I have created a new F20 install on a Toshiba laptop this afternoon, and everything has gone well until I tried to set the laptop up for our system with some perl scripts. Some of the perl scripts worked fine, but one script would not activate and resulted in a command line error message of : (": No such file or directory) I added the parenthesis, but the initial single quote is part of the message. I have evaluated the perl script and have run it on other machines without difficulty. I finally got the script to work by adding a -w switch to the first line in the form of : #!/usr/bin/perl -w I am posting this to record the problem and solution for others. Greg Ennis

Fedora 20 system wont boot - emergency
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

Sending this via squirrel mail from another computer. My mine notebook won't boot. I came out of suspend this evening, and gnome was confused. So I first did a yum update, thus getting everything through last night including a new kernel. I rebooted and the system gets a good ways through the boot process then turns off. The last two messages that I can barely read mention something about SCSI sync then drive off. Then it shuts off. I can't read the screen fast enough. I tried booting from the prior kernel and same behavior. I have everything on this drive and my backup is a couple weeks old (shame, shame. I was going to do one tomorrow). So two things: How do I get the boot to allow me to step through the process. Years ago, I knew how to do this. Any idea what the problem might be and what to add to the boot instructions so that I can get the system up to fix things? Or some other way to fix things. This is a bad situation to find myself in, two days before Passover and lots to do....

Second! I've been using Fedora since it was RH7, if not RH6, but of Rawhide, Flock, and FESCo I knew only of Rawhide, and not much of that. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-04-01)
by Matthew Miller 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Reposted from http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-04-01/ Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to follow it all. This series highlights interesting happenings in five different areas every week. It isn't comprehensive news coverage — just quick summaries with links to each. I know it's traditional for the Internet to be useless today, but, despite the temptation, I'm sticking to the facts. So, here we go for April 1st, 2014: Trying Wayland (and Gnome 3.12) ------------------------------- Wayland is the upcoming successor to the X11 graphics protocol which powers our desktops. It's not done yet, but you can try it first in Fedora. You'll need to be running Rawhide (Fedora's development branch). In theory, it should work on Fedora 20 with Gnome 3.12, but from the mailing list thread, it looks like that's not working yet. * http://wayland.freedesktop.org/ * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/desktop/2014-March/009543.html Wait, Gnome 3.12 on Fedora 20, you ask? Yes; although F20 shipped with 3.10, 3.12 is available for those of you who are a little adventurous but not so brave as to run Rawhide, via Richard Hughes’ Gnome 3.12 COPR. There's a Fedora Magazine article with instructions, too. * https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/rhughes/f20-gnome-3-12/ * http://fedoramagazine.org/running-gnome-3-12-on-fedora-20/ Infrastructure downtime *today* ------------------------------- What better time for major upgrades than April Fool's Day? If you notice that some Fedora infrastructure services are unavailable later this evening, it's no joke, just planned work, including an upgrade to Koji, Fedora's package and image building service. The work should happen between 21:00 and 01:00 UTC (`date -d '2014-04-01 21:00 UTC'` in your local time). * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2014-March/003204.html Last call for Flock talk proposals ---------------------------------- Flock is our big annual development and planning conference, held this year in Prague from August 6th–9th. The deadline for talk proposals is April 3rd — that's Thursday. So if you are thinking of something, it's time to put those thoughts in writing. Note that there is some funding available for travel and hotel subsidies; it's not guaranteed, but we want as many contributors there as possible, so if you have a need, there is a box to check at registration time. * http://flocktofedora.org/ * https://flock-lmacken.rhcloud.com/submit_proposal Fedora 21 change plan deadline ------------------------------ Speaking of deadlines... the Fedora Change Proposal deadline is April 8th, a week from today. These change proposals are our primary means for coordinating development across the project, so particularly if you want to do something which affects other areas, get it in now. FESCo (Fedora's technical steering committee) reviews and approves each proposal and may accept late entries (especially for "self-contained" changes), but it really helps to know sooner rather than later. Note that these proposals are largely statements of intent to do something, not orders for someone else to. As a community project developed by volunteers, we don't have a mechanism to *force* anyone do anything, so if you want to make something happen and can't do it all yourself, discuss on the Fedora devel list (or the appropriate SIGs) and get others inspired to sign on as collaborators. * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2014-April/001345.… Fedora Docs starts a Cookbook ----------------------------- The Fedora Docs team does an excellent job of producing our book-quality documentation, but we have a unfilled need for easy-to-contribute-to howto and quickstart articles. The Docs team recently held an Activity Day focused on finding a solution, and Pete Travis (a.k.a. "randomuser") describes the results: The answer we settled on is what will become the Fedora Cookbook, and it is a process as much as a book. Anyone can submit a 'recipe' for the Cookbook [...] using provided templates, and Docs volunteers will review, mark up, submit for translation, and publish. There's a lot more in Pete's post, so if this is an area of interest to you, and especially if you've been wanting to contribute but aren't sure how, don't miss it. * http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ * http://blog.randomuser.org/posts/open-books.html 5tFTW note ---------- This is the third installment of this series, and I'm still calibrating a few things. I'm aiming at a wide audience, but I'm not quite sure how much explaining I should do of general Fedora knowledge. Is it helpful for me to (as above), give a quick explanation when I talk about Rawhide, Flock, or FESCo? Or, does that just increase the word count for no reason? Let me know. Also, as always, tips on what's going on in your part of Fedora are appreciated — e-mail them to me directly, or ping me on IRC. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Tepid change for the somewhat better!"
