fedora20 vs gnome-software - no updates
by Aleksandar Kostadinov 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hello, When I start "Software" from gnome actions it shows no updates. But yum update shows me 261 pkgs to update. What could be the issue? Am I doing it right?

Thanks very much all for the improved voting app. Much easier than last year. Can you clarify the meaning of the numbers, though? Is 0 "no interest" and 15 "definitely want"? -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Tepid change for the somewhat better!"

udev rules fails with last fedora update
by Ambrogio De Lorenzo 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hi all, I'm running Fedora 20 and I have a rules in 70-persistent-net.rules to have eth0 to my ethernet card. Today I updated and so I installed the new kernel-3.13.9-200.fc20.x86_64. With this kernel the udev do a rename from eth0 to p3p1. In the messages I see Apr 10 09:28:07 pc-delo systemd-udevd[494]: renamed network interface eth0 to p3p1 Booting with the old Kernel it works well. Do you know if the rule has to be changed (and how)? Thanks Ambrogio

emacs extremely slow to start on fresh f20 install
by patrick korsnick 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Hi all, I did a fresh F20 x64 install today and yum updated it immediately afterwards. When I yum installed emacs and tried to start it up I noticed it's taking much longer than usual. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? I've never had this problem before on this box... it's an E5 Xeon machine with 16GB of RAM and it's starting emacs slower than my sparcstation 10 did back in the early 90s! Not sure if this is related, but when I went to remove and re-install it I noticed koji in one of the repos: emacs x86_64 1:24.3-13.fc20 @fedora 14 M emacs-common x86_64 1:24.3-13.fc20 @fedora 69 M emacs-filesystem noarch 1:24.3-13.fc20 @koji-override-0/$releasever 0.0 Thanks for any input!

CLI access to server -
by Bob Goodwin 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

I have assembled a FreeNAS server connected to my LAN and need to access it from my Fedora computers. In this box, Fedora 20 XFCE, the file manager, Thunar, displays a location "Network" under which the server appears. I would like to see that from the command line but don't know how. Can someone tell me how? Thanks, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-20/64bit Linux/XFCE

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-04-08)
by Matthew Miller 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Reposted from http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-04-08/ 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. Here are the five things for April 8st, 2014: Heartbleed vulnerability (and fixes) ----------------------------------- At #1 with a bullet… the OpenSSL “Heartbleed” vulnerability, technically identified as CVE-2014-0160. This is an exceptionally severe security issue. The good news is that, thanks to heroic overnight work of many Fedora contributors, updated packages are available. More on this in a separate Fedora Magazine post, and watch for more info soon. The release engineering push to the mirror networks is in progress. Special thanks to Robert Mayr, Kévin Raymond, Dennis Gilmore, Robyn Bergeron, Paul Frields, Major Hayden, Kurt Seifried, Kevin Fenzi, William Brown, Nick Bebout, Adam Williamson, Joachim Backes, Pádraig Brady, Lokesh Mandvekar, David Strauss, Joop Braak, Michael Cronenworth, Till Maas and others for effort in making these updates available quickly. And apologies if I missed any names which should be on this list — it's been a long night and day! * http://http://heartbleed.com/ "Heartbleed Bug" * http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-0160 * http://fedoramagazine.org/status-on-cve-2014-0160-aka-heartbleed/ Vote for Flock Talks -------------------- The call for submissions for talks at Flock (our annual development conference) is over. Later this week, voting will begin. There is a list of 128 potential talks which all look worth attending, but there’s a goal of having less going on at once this year, so the voting process is going to be extra-important. And of course, even if you are not speaking, this is an important event where we work on our strategy and direction, get some work done, make the personal connections which help a community run smoothly, and (of course) have a lot of fun. 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/proposals * https://register.flocktofedora.org/ Considering Gnome 3.12 as an F20 update --------------------------------------- As mentioned last week, Gnome 3.12 is available in the Rawhide development repository and as an add-on “Copr”. This release is inspiring very positive reviews even among initial Gnome 3 skeptics. (Disclaimer: I was certainly one of those skeptics, having never run Gnome even in the old days, but I’m happily running it now. Your mileage may vary, but I do recommend a fresh look!). This has inspired some discussion about possibly including the whole thing as an update to Fedora 20. This would be a large exception to the general policy of avoiding incompatible or user interface changes mid-release, but if the technical hurdles can be solved and user pain minimized, FESCo (the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee) might consider it, especially since F20 has a longer-than-normal schedule. And speaking of followups to last week, Jasper St. Pierre has a nice blog post on Xwayland landing in the X server and what that means for you. That has a lot of technical detail, but the short version is that now this compatibility layer is available on more hardware (not just Intel graphics), allowing more early experimenters and, in the future, a smoother transition for everyone. * http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-04-01/ * http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/03/27/gnome_3_12_review/ * http://www.techrepublic.com/article/gnome-3-10-has-resurrected-what-was-onc… * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule * http://blog.mecheye.net/2014/04/xwayland/ Website Refresh for Fedora.next ------------------------------- Although she posted it on April 1st, Fedora designer Máirín Duffy’s “proposal for Fedora’s website (considering Fedora.next)” is no joke. I mentioned this effort [last month][], but there’s a lot more detail here, with sections on the brochure site, a user support site, and the “community hub”. Worth a read — and we’d love your input, especially on how we might make this idea succeed now when somewhat similar efforts have faltered in the past. * http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2014/04/01/a-proposal-for-fedoras-website-conside… * http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-03-18/ ### Red Hat Summit Red Hat’s annual showcase conference is taking place in San Francisco next week (April 14–17, 2014), and as usual, Fedora will have a presence. Tom (“spot”) Callaway and Ruth (“Ruth”) Suehle will be running the booth, and I’ll be there showing off tech-darling containerization technology Docker and the Fedora Atomic Remix, which we are considering using as a base for one of our official cloud offerings. Of course, I’m happy to talk about anything else across the Fedoraverse as well. I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces and meeting many of you I haven’t yet. * http://www.redhat.com/summit/ * https://www.docker.io/ * http://rpm-ostree.cloud.fedoraproject.org/ * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Docker_Cloud_Image 5tFTW note ---------- Thanks for your feedback last week, everyone. Looks like many people appreciate the explanation of project details and jargon. And overall, I’m glad you’re finding this useful — that makes it much easier to keep it up. 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!"

Gnome-shell weather extension hung
by Matthew Saltzman 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

I have one machine that has gnome-shell-extension-weather-0-0.13.git7587e23.fc20.noarch from RPMFusion installed. When gnome-shell starts, the icon in the task bar displays a circular arrow with a caution sign. That eventually decays to just the arrow. The weather conditions never appear. The pop-down menu reports "Loading Weather", but nothing ever loads. Clicking "Reload Weather" has no effect. This behavior occurs no matter what city I select. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension and I've tried to locate files or settings that should be cleared or reset, but to no avail. Can anyone suggest how to debug this? I have several other machines that use the same extension from the same source, all running F20, and they all work fine, so I'm at a loss. TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

OKI C511DN drivers
by Gary Stainburn 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi folks. I've inherited a very nice colour laser printer which is great apart from one thing - it won't work with Linux. I've done lots of Googleing (and running round in circles) but I've not managed to come up with a solution. I can't find any Linux drivers for this printer either on the OKI sites or elsewhere. Can anyone suggest anything I can try next? Gary -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T. Manager Ringways Garages http://www.ringways.co.uk
