FFTW with mpi support
by Brahmanand Jogai 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I am attempting to compile an application (MPB from MIT) with support for MPI. It needs fast fourier transform with MPI support. Fedora 20 provides several versions of fftw, but none has support for either openmpi or mpich2. Does anyone know of a repo that has fftw with mpi? I have not found anything on google. I tried compiling fftw from source, but it failed its own self tests. Besides, installing a home built fftw could affect other applications that depend on the Fedora-supplied one. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Notification area audio widget suddenly invisible on Fedora LXDE spin
by Someone 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

My sound abruptly stopped working, and the notification area widget stopped appearing. It hasn't been working for a couple of weeks, at this point, though it had been working fine before that. (Before it stopped working, the notification area widget had been displaying, as well. I can run pavucontrol manually, and the only output device that is shown in the relevant tab is "Dummy Output". I really wish I could listen to music, but neither my laptop's built in speakers, nor the stereo system plugged into the side audio jack work at all. As per the wiki sound troubleshooting page, I removed the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package, but that, alas, that didn't help, either. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Autofs startup
by Chris Kottaridis 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I had autofs working in an older Fedora Release, 14 I know it's very old. I am now trying to get the same autofs to work on my Fedora 19 host. The man page on the Fedora 19 host for autofs says there should be a /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs file. While this does exist in Fedora 14 it does not in Fedora 19. The /usr/bin/automount file is installed on the F19 host, along with the autofs man pages. I assume this all has to do with the switchover to systemctl. When I look at the services application, "Services Configuration", it doesn't show autofs or automount anywhere. How do I get autofs/automount to start up at boot time in Fedora 19 ? Thanks Chris Kottaridis

replacing /dev/sda- am I missing anything?
by Paul Cartwright 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

ok, well my error count went to 31 sectors on /dev/sda the other day.. I've been rcping /home over to a partition on sdb, so this morning, before I opened email, I edited /etc/fstab, commented out /home, moved my partition on /dev/sdb to /home and.... rebooted. SO, I didn't get that error I have been getting where it always drops me to that enter password or Control-D to continue, it just flat booted:) so now I have an /dev/sda with .. nothing mounted . /dev/sda3 is my windows 7 partition, sda2 I think is the Dell recovery partition, I forget what sda1 is.. Yesterday I did a clonezilla disk copy of /sda to a spare partition on sdb. It errored on my /dev/sda5 /home but copied the other partitions. I also have a nice new 2TB drive sitting here in a box. If I just replace the old 1TB drive with the new 2TB drive and do a clonezilla restore, will I be able to boot to grub menu? does it copy the MBR? suggestions/comments?? am I missing something?? running fedora 20 AMD_64, now sda 1TB, sdb 2TB. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587

Dual Boot System
by Javier Perez 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Hi I need some advice here regarding partitioning my home system. My home system is a triple boot system: Windows 2K, Fedora 20 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I have three disks, one devoted to each operating system. The first disk has two partitions, one for the OS (win2k), the rest for data to be shared while on the other OSs including my personal directory The second disk has like 4 partitions (Fedora /, /boot, /home, /swap) The third disk has only three partitions (Ubuntu /, /boot, /swap) My plan is to get one SSD to keep the OS (both Fedora and Ubuntu). Instead of keeping Win2k on a drive that I rarely use (just for some games), I plan to virtualize the disk under VirtualBox. Given that both Fedora 20 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS use grub2, my idea for partitioning is 1. One largish /boot partition, about 1 GB, to hold both the Fedora and Ubuntu boot images. 2. Separate / partitions, one for Fedora, the other for Ubuntu, about 25 to 30G each 3. Keep a /home subdirectory on each of the partitions on (2), but link a "My Data" subdirectory to the filesystem under /home/myusername/ through fstab. "My Data" would come from another HDD (like 1 TB aprox). The idea is to keep the /home/myusername subdirectories apart and not let them mix because Fedora and Ubuntu save diferent data on the home directories, then have a subdirectory with my real data common to both systems. Is this setup workable? Is there a better solution? I'd rather not have to buy two SSDs because the OS take just about 50G and I still have a lot of free space in that partition -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| pepebuho(a)gmail.com ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.

Fedora Present and Future: a Fedora.next 2014 Update (Part I, “Why?”)
by Matthew Miller 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

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. Because it grew rather long, I think it works best as a web article, which you can find on Fedora Magazine at <http://fedoramagazine.org/?p=1236>. Also because of the length, I'm posting it installments. This part is the background, next part is some of the things we are doing, followed by the panel discussion, followed by Q&A. Whew; that's a lot. I can post the text here if people think it'd be really helpful to do so, (although I'm inclined to think that would be unwieldy), and in any case 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. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

systemctl versus service
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

So for a number of versions, 'service' has been a front end to 'systemctl'. I have a service I am testing the Host Identity Protocol, and the HIPL implementation: http://infrahip.hiit.fi/ that is still built around 'service'. And they maintain binaries for a number of distros, including Centos that do not yet (if ever?) use 'systemctl'. Now I amy not have all the terms right, but that is pretty close to the challenge. On my Fedora 20 system, the services come up real slow. In fact I get errors that they failed, even though they are working! Or at least they are testing out properly. For example, when I start the HIP firewall I get: # service hipfw start Starting hipfw (via systemctl): Job for hipfw.service failed. See 'systemctl status hipfw.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. [FAILED] This takes a LONG time until the failed message appears. 'ps axu|grep hip' shows the service is running. but status shows: hipfw.service - SYSV: HIPL firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/hipfw) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Thu 2014-04-17 12:51:05 EDT; 1h 0min ago Process: 2029 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/hipfw start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/hipfw.service └─2031 /usr/sbin/hipfw -bklpF Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(hipfw/helpers.c:97@system_print) $ ip6tables -I HIPFW-FORWARD -p 139 -j DROP -> 0 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(hipfw/helpers.c:97@system_print) $ iptables -I INPUT -j HIPFW-INPUT -> 0 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(hipfw/helpers.c:97@system_print) $ iptables -I OUTPUT -j HIPFW-OUTPUT -> 0 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(hipfw/helpers.c:97@system_print) $ iptables -I FORWARD -j HIPFW-FORWARD -> 0 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(hipfw/helpers.c:97@system_print) $ ip6tables -I INPUT -j HIPFW-INPUT -> 0 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(hipfw/helpers.c:97@system_print) $ ip6tables -I OUTPUT -j HIPFW-OUTPUT -> 0 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(hipfw/helpers.c:97@system_print) $ ip6tables -I FORWARD -j HIPFW-FORWARD -> 0 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(libcore/message.c:319@sendto_hipd) Sending user message 16 to HIPD on socket 4 Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(libcore/message.c:323@sendto_hipd) Sent 40 bytes Apr 17 12:46:05 ee900.htt-consult.com hipfw[2031]: debug(libcore/message.c:400@send_recv_info_internal) Waiting to receive daemon info.

Apr 17 12:51:05 ee900.htt-consult.com systemd[1]: Unit hipfw.service entered failed state. Well the HIPL developers are looking into supporting systemctl method, but for the present, I need the start not to take so long (and I am talking minutes here, not a few extra seconds until the failed message). So is there some option I could use in 'systemctl start hipfw.service' that will cut down the start time, even if there are some warnings? thanks

How to put boot into interactive mode
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Long ago I knew a way to get the boot process to require a keystroke at each step. This was important when you were trying to read the screen to figure out what is happening, typically wrong. But long ago I lost my notes on this, and I believe i need before my next reboot. Can someone point me to howto do this? My search foo is weak....
