udev rules fails with last fedora update
by Ambrogio De Lorenzo
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
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
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

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-04-08)
by Matthew Miller
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://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.

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.

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.

### 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.

----------
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.

Gnome-shell weather extension hung
by Matthew Saltzman
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.

OKI C511DN drivers
by Gary Stainburn
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?

wireshark installed but not available
by Robert Moskowitz
I installed wireshark on my F20/Gnome notebook, and yum has kept it updated:
]# grep wire yum*
Jan 08 12:34:15 Installed: wireshark-1.10.5-1.fc20.x86_64
Feb 01 20:15:51 wireshark-1.10.5-2.fc20.x86_64: 100
Feb 01 22:06:04 Updated: wireshark-1.10.5-2.fc20.x86_64
Feb 27 13:16:45 Updated: wireshark-1.10.5-3.fc20.x86_64
Mar 21 19:09:59 Updated: wireshark-1.10.6-1.fc20.x86_64
Mar 28 18:31:25 Updated: wireshark-1.10.6-2.fc20.x86_64
Wireshark does not show as an application. I don't see a bin for
wireshark, only a bunch of libs.
What may be missing here?

Fwd: Status on CVE-2014-0160, aka "Heartbleed"
by Ed Greshko
FYI....
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Status on CVE-2014-0160, aka "Heartbleed"
Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 23:01:24 -0400 (EDT)
From: Robyn Bergeron <rbergero(a)redhat.com>
Reply-To: users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
To: announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Greetings, Fedora community:
We're aware of the recently disclosed CVE-2014-0160 (aka
"Heartbleed"):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085065 (openssl)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1085066 (mingw-openssl)
The issue affects the currently supported Fedora 19 and Fedora 20
releases. Updates for openssl packages are available now, and
mirrors near you will receive them shortly. If you do not want to
wait for your local mirror to get updates, you can retrieve and
install packages directly:
For Fedora 19 x86_64:
yum -y install koji
koji download-build --arch=x86_64 openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc19.1
yum localinstall openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc19.1.x86_64.rpm
For Fedora 20 x86_64:
yum -y install koji
koji download-build --arch=x86_64 openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc20.1
yum localinstall openssl-1.0.1e-37.fc20.1.x86_64.rpm
Substitute i686 for 32-bit systems, or armv7hl for ARM systems (F20
only).
Package updates for mingw-openssl will receive fixes shortly and
we'll update the community when they are available. Note that
Fedora 18, which is no longer supported by the Fedora community, is
also affected by this issue. Fedora 17 and previous releases, also no
longer supported, are not affected by this issue.
Fedora Release Engineering is currently regenerating AMIs and
qcow2/kvm images to include the fix.
The Fedora Infrastructure team is working to assess any additional
impact, and will update the community as we develop more information.
Thanks for your patience as we work on this issue.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Special thanks to Dennis Gilmore for quickly providing
package updates, and Major Hayden for providing the manual update
guidance above.
