This list's search engine not working?
by HaJo Schatz 22 May '24

22 May '24

Ever since I stumbled across this list, I seem to have major difficulties searching the archives. Say I want to see my posts to the list (they all have the same footer as below), I believe I could go to http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ and enter "HaJo" as a search string. Searching in all sections, I get 0 results. Does the search engine ignore me by some reason? BTW -- I've been posting since about June, and when showing the archives sorted by author, I do find my posts. OK, not the most helpful to search for my own posts, but I do have the same issue when searching for given topics. Any other search engine out there indexing this list reliably? Google shows 0 hits on a "site:www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/" search... -- HaJo Schatz <hajo(a)hajo.net> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt

SATA optical drives
by David Fletcher 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months. Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's even seen a dual layer disk :'( SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable? Is anybody already running them with Fedora? Thanks for any advice/experiences. Dave F

[FC8] ssh and CAC card???
by Todd Denniston 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

From what I understood, the change to openssh listed in: rpm -q --changelog openssh |less as: "* Wed Jun 20 2007 Tomas Mraz <tmraz(a)redhat.com> - 4.5p1-7 - experimental NSS keys support - correctly setup context when empty level requested (#234951) " was supposed to allow the Common Access Card (CAC) to work with the shipped Fedora 8 ssh. As per NSS usual, everything is undocumented, i.e., `ssh-add --help` does not help at all, and `man ssh-add` points to `ssh-add -s reader` # ssh-add -s 0 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 0 # ssh-add -s 1 Enter passphrase for smartcard: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add card: 1 So does anyone know how to use the possible functionality, or are we reduced to reading the source? -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter

Changing date with procmail
by Michael A. Peters 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Anyone know of a procmail recipe to change the date on incoming messages? If the date is in the future by more than 24 hours - I'd like to just change it to the current date. If the date is in the past by more than two weeks - I'd like to just change it to the current date. I'd like to do it in procmail - if someone knows how. I've done some searching, still have some to do. Found some stuff on extracting the date, but not on modifying it if necessary.

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, http://www.sysresccd.org/Download With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage" After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000". Is this file ok to restore? If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000" But here below http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots the file is name like this: "diskimage.pimg" Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly? And how can I restore it?

VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

nc missing option -z
by Suvayu Ali 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi, I used to use netcat to check if a particular host is up or if I have internet connection before I run a few scripts. I would use the -z option in particular. But now I see that has been removed: $ nc -z imap.gmail.com 993 && sync-my-email.sh ncat: invalid option -- 'z' Here is the excerpt from the old manual page: -z Specifies that nc should just scan for listening daemons, without sending any data to them. It is an error to use this option in conjunction with the -l option. Any ideas what happened to it? What can I use as replacement? Thanks for any ideas. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Even better are the stupid messes where there is NO default setting to change. Google 'kstartupconfig4 error 3' No-one, and I mean no-one knows what causes this, or how to fix it. (Well, if there IS a 'great expert' who knows this, he's not talking). And what happens when you get this error? You cannot log in as a normal user. So I've been forced to log in as root for well over a month now on this laptop. (Quick! Get the smelling salts! A grey-bearded pony-tailed guru just fainted with an attack of the vapours!) And the problem has existed since I "upgraded" to F11...I suspect it has something to do with the fact that the /home partition was retained from F10 and that the chcon context might have something to do with it, but then, like pulseaudio, chcon has entirely too minimal a set of documentation. And I didn't even know chcon existed until a week ago, when it turned up as the possible source/answer to a completely different question about httpd. It is the lack of documentation which makes Fedora (and Mandriva, and Ubuntu) an OS for experts only..... Geoff -- Please let me know if anything I say offends you.

Ranter or evangelist?
by gilpel＠altern.org 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Why is it that, when I insert an audio disk, I see it as an audio disk on my desktop, but when I click it, GNOME shows the .wav files that are present. No application is suggested, even under "Open", to play the damned music. If I go to Application, sound and video, the first option, "Audio Player", opens XMMS. Great! I click the forward button... I'm presented with a list of the... no, no, no! not the files on the CD, but the files in my home directory!!! Wow, we're really moving forward! I painfully navigate to /media, there's nothing in /media. Let's check mtab, my DVD/CD is on sr0, I believe. Nope, nothing there. Well, if the intend was to scare away Mac and Windows users, I would think that the success rate is 100%. I've been using Linux for 8 years and even "I" am scared! I do understand Fedora is for geeks, but would it make their life that difficult if things kinda worked? Didn't anybody notice that the present set-up makes absolutely no sense? At least, normally, you should go to => System, Preference, File Management, Media to select a default CD and DVD player. Still impossible! No option to change anything. I wrote about this. Nobody replied. Who's responsible for setting things this way? Is anyboby responsible somewhere or is it "We do all this together in a haphazard way" ? If so, never expect any significant market share for Linux. Radio-Canada will continue to use Windows Media because "Linux is too hard for ordinary people" (MSFT trademark). You think I'm a ranter? I've been told this quite often. But, while some people write code, I write to the Quebec Press Council. I explain that a certain so-called journalist is just a Microsoft sycophant. Every time he used Windows Vista, of course, there were a few... almost bugs. but certainly no show stopper. With Linux, the question is more complex. When a new version of Firefox comes out, for instance, instead of waiting for the upgrade, he gets the executable at Mozilla and, then, everything gets really complicated. Of course, the Press Concil understands perfectly what's going on. I made sure my basic complaint was very easy to understand: I explained the journalist NEVER discussed the appropriateness for the State -- television, amongst others -- of using proprietary format and never discussed tied sales. That's it, that's all. Still, after counceiding that the Press organisation lawyers had well understood my POV, the Council judged that the journalist gives a lot of coverage to Linux -- they didn't elabore on the kind of coverage: they can't evaluate, of course -- and, you know, given that Linux hardly has 1% of the market share, they found the coverage was adequate. So, I filed an appeal... and sent a copy to the Professional Federation of Journalists... I got my appeal. But the fight is far from over. The Press Council is heavily subsidized by the employer of said journalist, and Radio-Canada, another member of the Microsoft club. Seeing subsidies vaporize scares the shit out of those learned men: they could lose their precious jobs! So, they'll try every trick in the book to give a very mild tone to their judgement. But I have a few other tricks in my book to set the records straight, though having the support from the Linux community would certainly help. Cause... do you really believe I got any help from local coders for this fight? I got none, absolutely NONE. Why? Cause I'm a ranter. In other words, though I am not a programmer, when I see things that are not done correctly, I say so. They tell me I should fix the bugs. Why is it that there are so many programmers and I can't even set a default application for reading CD and DVDs? While I'm alone to do what I consider my job, why is it that the whole community doesn't get its act together to do such simple things? Sometimes I wished I could proselytize in a more positive way. I'd like to tell Apple users that Linux equals or surpasses OS X in user friendlyness, but it doesn't. It was like this ten years ago, it is still like this now. Countrary to what we could think from the success of Steve Jobs at the helm of Apple, in the Linux world, the only people who count are programmers. They'll fix things... soon. But Linux is not so young anymore. After 18 years, it has 1% market share. I believe there are some organizational bugs that need to be ironed out. For now, from an administrative POV, Linux is a merry-go-round that doesn't make much sense. What do you say, am I a ranter or an evangelist? Is it good for Linux to be ruled by programmers, the alternative not being necessarily the marketing department? :) Red Hat has some clout. How come they don't say "We want a music player that first detects CD files and plays them" and accept to include them on the default CD only on this condition? Etc., etc., etc.

Setting up HP laserjets (1012) to work with Fedora 11
by gilpel＠altern.org 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Unrelated to topic: I lost quite a bit of messages downloading them from Altern to Thunderbird and not being able to upload afterwards* but I would like to thank Todd Zullinger for reminding me that welcome messages are not just a way for forums owner to be polite :) But somethimes, you have many things to read... * ping smtp.altern.org ping: unknown host smtp.altern.org This used to work, but not anymore, according to lantre.org. So, I'll have to set up a Gmail account. Later. ----------------------------- Setting up HP laserjets (1012) to work I discovered a bug with the setting of my printer, an HP 1012. The configuration seemed really easy as it was identified correctly on a USB Port. A few clicks, and I was done. I didn't even check to see if it worked: I never had a problem setting this printer for years. Then, I tried to print and I had a message saying that the printer wasn't connected. Weird: CUPS was installed, the wire was OK. I went back to configuration and I saw there's an option for using HAL, the Hardware Abstraction Layer. I do believe HAL has always been part of setting my printer. So, I selected it but received the message that the HPIJS driver was not available. (Note that I tried the Gutenprint driver when the printer wasn't set to use HAL: it didn't work.) I installed hpijs, now everything is fine. I don't remember ever being asked to use HAL with another distro: it was always put to contribution, I suppose. So, there must be a way around this. Most newbies will never consider an option that isn't selected by default for a printer. Most probably other printers that use HPIJS have the same problem. Those that use ppd files, probably not.

Did I really install Kmod-Nvidia ?
by gilpel＠altern.org 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

There are all sorts of instructions as to how to install Kmod-Nvidia on Fedora, but I thought yum would do a better job of guessing my configuration (x86_64, 9400 GT) to get the most up-to-date correct package and getting everything right. So, I just typed: yum install kmod-nvidia Now, /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this: # Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "on" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection The file is only a few minutes old... So, I suppose it's a new config for the Kmod driver. But the process was so transparent, I can't help but wonder if all those modifications to the kernel that I read about in the doc have been made. If so, why not provide the documentation that all that is needed is to type the yum command? The Nouveau driver worked very well and, since I'm not too sure I'll install 3D, maybe I could have kept it. But my screen kept blanking once in a while for a few seconds. This happened with my previous computer too -- it had an old ATI card, the same monitor and a very standard open source driver for ATI -- but not so often and not for so long: it was just a quick blank. I thought this might fix the problem. Also, I intend to install a TV card and, it anything doesn't work, I'm sure the first suggestion from Nvidia will be to install their driver. As the material I buy is only on a one week money back guarantee, I prefer to make sure everything works in advance. Also, as it often happens when I download new packages, there was a socket error and a long (~ 1-2 min) halt before another server took over. (I forgot to save the console screen before I rebooted, but the name "liberty" was part of it.) After the installation finished, the rx/tx light of the modem began flashing very fast as if there was a download occuring... or maybe an upload if some information on the installation has to be sent back to rpmfusion or nvidia. No indication of what was going on appeared onscreen. Is this anything to be concerned about? Any idea What this transfer was about?

Problems with 3COM 3C900Combo

Hi all Fedora users, I have just joined this list. I am running the latest Fedora but I can't get my 3C900Combo networking card to work. I can see that the card is installed but no IP-address is asigned to it and I can't set it. So I think that there is a bug in that driver. Any other user out there who have a solution for this? Best regards and thanks, Christian

RAGE XL Framebuffer
by Yanick Quirion 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Hi all I know that is not a specific question about Fedora, but I can't find answer on the kernel mailing list. Is somebody having server with integrated ATI RAGE XL video card? Is it possible to patch the kernel to support this video card? If I add VGA=791 in my grub.conf, I will have a resolution of 1024x768 which is good, but the display is very slow (especially when the screen is scrolling). If I use I this: "video=aty128fb:1024x768@70" it will not work. I'm using kernel 2.4.22 but I will try 2.6.0-test11 today. If somebody has a patch, a link or anything else that can help me, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

WiFi permanently disappeared after booting test kernel

Hi, On my netbook I booted a test kernel 3.8.0-rc4+ I compiled. Now after booting back into my regular Fedora kernel 3.6.11-5.fc17.i686.PAE my wifi network device remains permanently disappeared. No wifi networks displayed in Network Manager gui. Also the Network Manager syslog messages make it look like the device has completely disappeared. Suggestions for restoring wifi welcome.

Brother HL-5250DN duplex printing: loves me, loves me not, ...
by Michael Hannon 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Greetings. I've got a brother HL-5250DN printer on my local network, and it is *currently* not doing duplex printing under Fedora 20. I've seen discussions of a similar problem in various places. The responses to the problem seem to fall into several categories: (1) Duplex printing must be *enabled* on the printer before it will print duplex. (2) Some printers are not well-supported under linux. You should check the Open Printing database (or similar). (3) Get the printer driver from Brother. Regarding (1), the duplex option *is* enabled on the printer, and it *does* print in duplex from Windows and Mac systems (and others -- see below). Regarding (2), the printer printed in duplex just fine through various versions of Fedora, up through Fedora 18 (the last version I had installed prior to Fedora 20). Furthermore, it prints duplex just fine from an Ubuntu 14.04 system that I have running in VirtualBox on my Fedora machine. In all cases the duplex printing capability happened without my having to expend any brain power at all on the issue: it "just worked". Regarding (3), I've tried that, but it didn't appear to help. So far as I can tell, my problems are pretty similar to those reported by other people. One possibly novel thing: I noticed, without paying close attention, that some of the recent updates to Fedora 20 have been CUPS-related. That motivated me to roll the dice and try duplex printing again. And shazam! It worked! If that were the end of the story, I wouldn't bother to tell it. The printer once again does *not* print duplex. I'm assuming that the problem must have been fixed by one CUPS-related upgrade and broken again by a later one. Here are the candidates: # rpm -qa --last | grep -i cups cups-filters-1.0.53-2.fc20.x86_64 Thu 15 May 2014 11:48:18 AM PDT cups-filters-libs-1.0.53-2.fc20.x86_64 Thu 15 May 2014 11:48:15 AM PDT bluez-cups-5.18-1.fc20.x86_64 Fri 02 May 2014 12:18:41 PM PDT cups-1.7.2-1.fc20.x86_64 Wed 30 Apr 2014 11:41:06 AM PDT cups-libs-1.7.2-1.fc20.x86_64 Wed 30 Apr 2014 11:40:45 AM PDT cups-filesystem-1.7.2-1.fc20.noarch Wed 30 Apr 2014 11:40:45 AM PDT python-cups-1.9.65-1.fc20.x86_64 Sat 15 Mar 2014 03:09:34 PM PDT gutenprint-cups-5.2.9-14.fc20.x86_64 Mon 23 Dec 2013 11:23:50 PM PST cups-pk-helper-0.2.5-2.fc20.x86_64 Mon 23 Dec 2013 11:08:33 PM PST Unfortunately, as I said, I wasn't paying close attention to the timing of the not-work/work/not-work cycle, so I can't shed any more light on the problem. If you can, I'd love to hear from you. BTW, the driver I'm using is: Brother HL-5250DN Foomatic/Postscript and it *does* have the duplex printing option enabled: Double-sided printing: Long Edge (standard) Thanks. -- Mike

losing WiFi Access - prompted for password
by SternData 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

F18... Over the last few days, I'm getting prompted to re-enter my password for my WiFi network. It's not the router because no other device on the network seems to be having problems. Potential changes on my system include May 07 21:39:32 Updated: 1:wpa_supplicant-1.1-1.fc18.x86_64 May 25 15:33:44 Installed: kernel-3.9.3-201.fc18.x86_64 May 27 08:06:42 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.9.8.1-3.git20130514.fc18.x86_64 May 27 08:06:47 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-0.9.8.1-3.git20130514.fc18.x86_64 May 27 08:06:53 Updated: network-manager-applet-0.9.8.1-4.git20130514.fc18.x86_64 Given that this has really started the day before yesterday, I suspect it has something to do with the NetworkManager update. Is anyone else having this problem? (Please -- do not tell me to "dump the evil NetworkManager". I'm trying to solve a problem here, not make some stand against the tide. Thanks.) -- -- Steve

Hello, I already filed a bugzilla issue with this [1] but I'd like to know if anybody else has troubles with VMs' network after suspend. And if others are able to do a "systemctl restart network" successfully. I mean, am I an isolated case because of some unknown configuration I have or is this common? What I do is: launch VM suspend laptop wake up laptop after awhile (1 hour maybe) network of VM loses default route systemctl restart network # fails on both fedora 20 - guest and host I'll appreciate if somebody else with same experience comments in the bugzilla issue directly.

Fedora-like Linux for 1.99GB RAM?
by Oliver Ruebenacker 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hello, I need a new OS for an old computer, an about 10 years old x86. I upgraded RAM from 500MB to 2GB, though Windows XP reports 1.99 GB. I would have installed Fedora, but they say the requirements are at least 4GB RAM. Is there any Linux distro similar to Fedora that works for 1.99 GB RAM? I'd love to use KDE, although if it really doesn't work, I could also settle for Xfce. Thanks!

I don't know why, I can't see anything taking it in the firewall or anything, but anyway, changing to different ports doesn't seem to help... the client and server never connect. Can anyone give me any pointers as to how to start to troubleshoot this?

Create virt F20 on new physical /dev/sda -> OK; boot live F20 on /dev/sda now fails
by Philip Rhoades 30 May '14

30 May '14

People, For the last few versions of Fedora (x86_64) I have been going through this process: - install a new SATA drive as /dev/sda - boot to the previous Fedora now on /dev/sdb - create a new virtual system using the latest Fedora on the new physical drive on /dev/sda - get the new virtual Fedora on /dev/sda as ready as possible - then re-boot to the new live system on /dev/sda This process has been working fine for the last few versions but now for going from F19 to F20 and booting on the new F20 the process stops at: [OK] Reached target Paths [OK] Reached target Basic System I can still do a live boot on /dev/sdb and run the new F20 as a virt machine using physical drive /dev/sda OK but it was a nice process to reduce down time to be able to get the new Fedora as ready as possible as a virtual machine and then reboot it as the live machine. Has something changed that stops me doing this now? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

f20 first boot screens on a 1280x768 video
by Robert Moskowitz 30 May '14

30 May '14

OK, this is really with Fedora-arm 20, but it is still first boot. The system I am installing on physically has a hdmi p1080 video, but via an hdmi/vga adapter (that still supports p1080) goes through a KVM that only supports 1024x1024 to a 16:9 monitor so all I get is 1024x768. This is not a problem, operationally, but first boot is not smart for screen sizing. Thus on the set root password screen (and I am assuming the create user screen) the OK button is not visible. What is the keystroke to accept what I entered? thanks

Installing with F20 installer report (and failure)
by lee 29 May '14

29 May '14

This is a bit long: installation on a laptop: boot live system and select install to disk The screen brightness is adjustable by only two steps and the screen is way too bright at almost maximum. The built-in dedicated graphics card is not used but not switched off, either. The resulting power drain would make it impossible to complete the installation on battery power. Language selection is confusing because you have to discover the Continue button, which is located out of sight far off at the right edge of the screen. Tapping on the scratchpad doesn`t have any effect (should simulate a mouse click). Scrolling with two fingers doesn`t work, either. At least the scratchpad is working (fortunately, it does have buttons). Keyboard selection should be a step within language selection rather than an extra step. Network configuration doesn`t have any way to enter the IP address. Installation Destination ... The disks show up, but how the hell do I create a software raid-1 from them?? There are no options to do anything like that. Well, I`ve selected the disks now, which is pretty weird and confusing. I want to create a raid and not select them. Why is the Done button so inconveniently placed at the left top of the screen? Why not out of sight like the Continue button, or better, under the "Add a disk" button ... The installer claims I have 659.36GB of free space, which is incorrect. The disks I have selected are shown as 715.40GB each (which is about right), which makes 1430.8GB and not 659.36GB. Why is LVM a default "Partition scheme" (whatever that means)? I have no use for lvm. Let`s say "I want more space" ... and "Standard Partition" (whatever that is) and "Encrypt my data and set a passphrase later". Continue and I`m asked for a passphrase! That was supposed to happen LATER, not NOW ... So enter a passphrase ... Now I can either "Cancel" or "Save Passphrase". Seriously? Where is my passphrase saved? I suppose I could as well write it on a sticker and glue it to the monitor ... Hm, ok delete all partitions. Now I could begin the installation. But how do I install on software raid-1?? Why can`t I do that and partition the disks after I deleted all partitions? Is the installation now going to proceed without partitions? So select a destination again ... and to review/modify the partitions. Now it`s asking me a passphrase again --- wasn`t that saved? There are dots in the entry fields, so which passphrase is it using? Better enter that again ... and save it to where ever :( Now I can apparently create mount points. Why would I create mount points before making a raid and before creating partitions?? Why can`t I just press the + key rather having to click the + button? I don`t like this installer ... Hm, now I can only create a mount point but no raid :( It says at the bottom that two storage devices are selected, which looks like a link. And when I click on it, it shows two disks in a window, one of them is marked as "Boot". Why can`t change that? I don`t want to boot from that disk ... So perhaps let`s make two small partitions to be mounted as /boot, one of which is going to be a mirror of the other. Perhaps the installer then finally lets me create a raid-1 ... Hmm ... let`s make that 512M ... There we go, finally I can say that this partition is supposed to be RAID --- which probably doesn`t work anyway, but since it`s allowed, I make it RAID-1 with ext4. + swap 64GB: Is that going to be on the raid or what? It says sda2, so apparently not :( Now fiddle around to get the swap on the raid ... which seems actually easy to do, same as with /boot. + /usr, 16GB, RAID, ext4, encrypt Now why does the swap partition displayed after /usr rather than before it where I put it??? Anyway ... + /usr/local, 8GB, RAID, ext4, encrypt --- why does the cursor disappear when pressing the Tab key rather going into the "Capacity" field? Why does nothing happen when I press Return after entering "8G"? Strange, the available disk space on the left disk is decreasing while the it stays the same on the right one. Where is it going to put the raid? + /var, 512GB, RAID, ext4, encrypted + /home, 8GB, RAID, ext4, encrypted That`s ok so far, I`m done. ... WOW! The settings I made are going to destroy devices! They don`t only destroy data and partitions, they actually destroy devices. Should I accept that? Let`s see ... Hm, why is it asking me for the passphrase again? At least typing it so many times helps me to remember it. But now there is an error with checking the storage configuration. Hm. Ah, hm, I don`t have defined a root partition. Modify Storage Layout ... Ugh. Do I seriously have to start all over again?? :(((( Great, I must enter the passphrase again ... What was it saved for earlier? Or wasn`t it? But at least I don`t need to start over with the partitioning :) + /, 8GB, RAID, ext4, encrypted --- that the Tab key doesn`t work is really annoying ... Done, destroy devices, enter passphrase again --- this now annoys me, too. There is no way to tell what passphrase is going to be used because the entry fields are full of dots, so you have to enter it all the time. Either omit the dots or don`t keep asking. If not asking, add a button to change the passphrase. Finally I can begin the installation. This took about an hour so far. And so far, this installer is WAYYYY better than the Fedora ones I`ve seen before. Lots of thanks goes to the developers! But only so far. The installation finished, and I can`t boot. Only thing I`m getting is a dot at the top left of the screen and a blinking cursor underneath. Now what? Enter the passphrase? That doesn`t have any effect. Have some devices been destroyed? -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug)

Moving Fedora system to new disk
by Timothy Murphy 29 May '14

29 May '14

I'm planning on moving the Fedora-20 system on my laptop to a new hard disk (500GB instead of 80GB). I've partitioned the new disk. When I copy partitions from the old disk to the new one with "cp -a" (running under a Fedora Live CD) I get a lot of messages of the form diff: a/bin/acroread: No such file or directory diff: b/bin/acroread: No such file or directory All the messages concern symbolic links. I see in "man cp" that "cp -a" included "--no-dereference never follow symbolic links in SOURCE" Does this mean cp is not an appropriate way to copy partitions? I thought of using dd, but the partitions are not the same size, and I was not sure if this would cause problems. Any suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Installing fedora in a new (trash can) mac pro
by Rafael Espíndola 29 May '14

29 May '14

I recently managed to install fedora in a trash can mac pro. I am not sure what the best place to document the steps, so I am just sending an email. Hopefully search engines can find it. Let me know if you think something should be reported as a bug. First, a list of the problems: * The kernel that comes with the installer will not boot. I am not sure what the issues is, but yum update will fetch a kernel that works. Unfortunately I could not find a way to rebuild the installation image from sources. * Using glub2 is just too horrible for me. It is incredibly slow. At first I also thought it might be responsible for the kernel not booting, but that was not the case. The good news is that gummiboot works *really* well. * The apple firmware is very slow at booting from the FAT ESP partition. It is way faster at loading anything from hfs. * The linux hfs driver will not write to a hfs partition that has journalling enabled. * To get the ui running I had to pass nomodeset to the kernel. * If the monitor (a dell dell up2414q) is connected vi display port, it will not come back from sleep. It is slow to wake up on OS X, but works. Connecting it with an hdmi cable avoids the problem. The steps to get the installation working: First, create a VM: * Using virtualbox create a VM which uses EFI and install fedora in it. * Use yum update to get a new kernel. * Install gummiboot, remove grub2. Make sure you can still boot the VM. * You can now delete the /boot partition and make /boot just a directory. Gummitboot will be using /boot/efi * Boot the vm with the install cd again and create a tar file of the root fs and copy it to the host. I used tar --selinux --acls --xattrs ... | nc Now, create the partitions for fedora; * Using disk util reduce the size of the os x install partition. * Create a small partition for gummiboot to live in, make it hfs. * Disable journalling in the gummiboot partition. Install gummiboot: * Copy it to the new hfs partition * run bless: sudo bless --setBoot --folder /volumes/gummiboot --file /Volumes/gummiboot.efi * Rebooting the system should show up gummiboot with only one entry: os x. Copying fedora to the new partitions: * Download a live cd with a new kernel. I used ubuntu 14.04. It requires nomodeset to start the UI. * With the livecd, create a btfs partition in the free space after the gummiboot partition. * Use tar -xvpf as root to extract the root contents. * Update /etc/fstab to have the new partition names and UUIDs. * Copy the kernel and initrd to the gummiboot partition and create an entry in the config (remember to include nomodeset). * Reboot and pass selinux=0 to the kernel * Login as root. * touch /.autorelabel * reboot. I am sure there are more efficient ways of doing this. In particular, the relabelling is probably unnecessary if you use a live cd with selinux. Was it worth it? Yes, linux is quiet a bit faster. Running the llvm and clang tests now takes 32.18s, under OS X it takes 49.56s. Cheers, Rafael

Hi, I'm new to anaconda, but I have one question. I'm going to install Fedora 20 with DVD media and kickstart file to PC which has no network interfaces. Everything is going well except that kickstart process stops at the NETWORK CONFIGURATION window with the message "We'll need network access to fetch information about your location and to make software updates available for you". Could you give me how to skip this NETWORK CONFIGURATION window? Regards, P.S.

configure trackpad
by CS DBA 28 May '14

28 May '14

All I have a thinkpad W540 running Fedora 20, the trackpad seems to have sort of physical left/right buttons meaning the entire pad sort of 'moves' when i click and it does a right click if i click on the right side of the trackpad (single finger click) and a left click on the left side. It drives me crazy since I'm used to a single finger click doing a left mouse click no matter where I click and a right click if I do a two finger click. The trackpad still does a right click if I use 2 fingers, how can I configure it to do a left click when I use a single finger no matter where on the trackpad I click? Thanks in advance

Power Management, SystemD, etc.
by Trever L. Adams 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hello everyone, I am having some difficulty finding the right information. I have a server that is only needed at certain times. Wake-on-lan works well, so I can do administration, etc. rtcwake works, so I can tell it to wake each day 3-5 minutes or so (haven't decided) before when it is needed. The problem I am having is figuring out how to set it up so it automatically goes to sleep after X period of time and stay asleep. This is a F20 system, so systemd is installed. I would like to have a script get called prior to sleep so it can set rtcwake. I cannot find any documentation for a non-X/gui/gnome/whatever system to set up the idle time out. Do the hooks in /etc/pm/sleep.d work with systemd? I prefer to do suspend to ram for this setup. Thank you for any help, Trever

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-05-27)
by Matthew Miller 27 May '14

27 May '14

Reposted from http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-05-27/ 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 May 27th, 2014: Flock Schedule! --------------- Flock is Fedora’s annual contributor conference, held this year in Prague on August 6th through 9th. The schedule is now up on sched.org. The organizers reserve the right to make tweaks as needed, but this should mostly be the final schedule. Last year’s conference was amazing, and I think this year will be even better. There are a lot of great talks, hackfests, and workshops planned over a busy four days, with a vibrant “hallway track” and fun social events (yet to be detailed). In general, we will get a lot of real planning and solid work done, all built on top of Fedora’s “Friendship” foundation. If you’re a Fedora contributor and not sure if you should come, *you should*. Register now at the Flock site. Thanks to everyone who proposed talks and to everyone who voted on those proposals. And thanks to Flock organizers Josh Boyer, Tom Callaway, and Ruth Suehle, who used those votes as the primary source for the difficult jigsaw puzzle that is putting together the schedule. Thanks also to Miro Hrončok and Jiri Eischmann for working out venue logistics. * http://flocktofedora.org/ * http://flock2014.sched.org/grid/ Fedora 21 Schedule Reminder --------------------------- Speaking of schedules… as we get to the end of May, it seems like a good time to give a reminder of the Fedora 21 schedule. The summer is going to go fast! So, a refresher: - **June 6:** *Mass Rebuild.* This means that Release Engineering will cause every package in the distribution to be rebuilt from source, with the newest compilers and toolchains. Package maintainers need to be prepared to fix any problems that are exposed. (Packages that don’t build and aren’t updated will eventually be dropped from the distribution.) - **July 8:** *Change Freeze* and *Branch from Rawhide*. The first of these means that any official change proposals for F21 need to be a) substantially complete and in a testable state and b) enabled by default (if that’s the plan for that change). We have a rather large change set planned for this release, and many of those changes involve big new Fedora.next ideas. The second means that Fedora 21 will become a distinct repository from Rawhide, our rolling development tree. That means that any changes packagers make that are intended for F21 will go through the normal package updates process — and it means that testers can decide if they want to divert their systems to the upcoming release, or to keep on Rawhide to follow the bleeding edge of what will eventually become the release *after* next. - **July 22:** *Alpha Change Deadline* and *Software String Freeze*. The change deadline basically means that except for accepted fixes, everything that’s going to land in the alpha release should be there already. And the string freeze means that packages for which Fedora is the upstream should stop making user-visible changes so that translators have time to work. - **August 5:** *Alpha Release*. The Fedora 21 Dress Rehearsal — we’ll get real picture of what the upcoming release will look like (and - **August 26:** *Beta Change Deadline*, *Changes 100% Complete*, and *Software Translation Deadline*. Similar to the deadlines for Alpha, but more so. Proposed changes which are off-track at this point may need to be scaled back or delayed until the next release. - **September 9:** *Beta Release*. Everything will be shaping up, and we’ll be more concerned with polish than development. If you have an idea for a big change at this point, that’s awesome — the Rawhide development tree continues to be open for business so progress can continue. - **September 30:** *Final Change Deadline*. All the last changes should be in. - **October 14:** ***Fedora 21 Final Release!*** Fedora Cloud, Fedora Server, Fedora Workstation, and all the spins and the rest will go into the world. All of these dates are officially expressed as “no earlier than”. As always the schedule may… flex… a little bit, but generally we aim to actually hit these targets. That gives us just 20 weeks from now — mark your calendars! * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/ChangeSet * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N Fedora.next Preliminary Branding -------------------------------- The Fedora Design Team is working on a plan for presentation of the three different Fedora products we’ll be releasing this fall as part of the Fedora.next initiative. Each of these will need their own logo, but they also need a coherent look that ties them together as part of the overall Fedora Project. Fedora Contributor Máirín Duffy kicks off the process with some starting-point designs, which you can see at read about at her blog. What do you think? What ideas do you have? * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design * http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-present-and-future-a-fedora-next-2014-upda… * http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2014/05/22/fedora-next-brand-concept-1/ Fedora 21 Test Planning ----------------------- Those three products will also need testing; that’s one of the reasons the schedule is longer than the typical six months. Fedora Quality Assurance “Community Monkey” Adam Williamson wrote a draft test plan for Fedora 21 in general, outlining different areas of work and responsibilities. If you’re interested in helping (or just curious), read Adam’s message about this draft and join the conversation on the Fedora Test Mailing List. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_Fedora_21_test_plan * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-May/121396.html * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/ Help Wanted (Soon) for Software Collection Package Reviews ---------------------------------------------------------- Software Collections is a way to package software into RPMs which sit in `/opt`, outside of the main part of the distribution. The main use case of Software Collections (SCLs, for short) is to have a stack of software which moves at a different speed from the distro proper — in RHEL or CentOS, that usually means faster, but in Fedora, it could be a way to provide consistent runtime environments across multiple releases. Specifically, we’re planning to have a Ruby 1.9.3 with Rails 3.2.8 SCL in Fedora 21 as a first experiment, led by Fedora contributor Marcela Mašláňová. Since F21 will have Ruby 2.1.x with Rails 4.1, this will let users with code that isn’t ready for the new version update to newer Fedora — but port their own code on their own schedule The Fedora Packaging Committee has been working on draft guidelines, and the remaining big hurdle is that the 60-some new packages will need to go through the standard review process. The plan is to make this as painless as possible, by organizing an online activity day to crank through them. If you’ve done some package reviews (and ideally if you know Ruby), and are interested in helping, watch the Environments and Stacks mailing list for more soon. * https://www.softwarecollections.org/ * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Ruby193_in_SCL * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/SCL_Guidelines_%28draft%29 * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/env-and-stacks -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Tepid change for the somewhat better!"

Hi, what if I got a new mainboard which uses uefi --- and might not even support disabling or not using uefi --- and wanted to boot? Booting is from a HP smart array P800. Would that work? Would I need to do something to get it to work, and if so, what? -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug)

grub problem while trying to configure kdump on F20
by Derrik Walker v2.0 26 May '14

26 May '14

I I think grub isn't seeing my updated changes when I'm setting up kdump on F-20. First I installed the the packages /kexec-tools/, /crash/, and /kernel-debuginfo/. Next I added crashkernel=128M to /GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX/ the in //etc/default/grub/. Then I rebuild the grub config with: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and it creates the file ok. But, after rebooting, kdump hasn't started and I get the error from systemctl status kdump: kdump.service - Crash recovery kernel arming Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2014-05-26 19:15:03 EDT; 16min ago Process: 1308 ExecStart=/usr/bin/kdumpctl start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1308 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CGroup: /system.slice/kdump.service May 26 19:15:03 tesla kdumpctl[1308]: *No memory reserved for crash kernel.* May 26 19:15:03 tesla kdumpctl[1308]: Starting kdump: [FAILED] May 26 19:15:03 tesla systemd[1]: kdump.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE May 26 19:15:03 tesla systemd[1]: Failed to start Crash recovery kernel arming. May 26 19:15:03 tesla systemd[1]: Unit kdump.service entered failed state. Which leads me to think that my grub.conf really isn't working for some reason. This is on an AMD system with 16 Gigs of ram, so available memory is definitely not a problem. Could be something else, but in any case I'm sure I'm missing something stupid ... Thanks. - Derrik

Hi, Recently I've discovered a strange thing... some rule/program or whatever changing the access rights of /dev/null to crw-------. 1 root root 1, 3 May 20 11:57 /dev/null and some of the part of Fedora does not like it :) After I change back to 666, everything is fine again, however after boot I have again the "wrong" permission is this a bug or feature? :) What can cause this? After google the problem, I can find some very old bug, so maybe it is back again Any idea? Thx L:

Off topic: web hosting sites

24 May '14

Hi, everyone, I know that this is not a use the group is setup for, but I don't know who else to ask, so forgive my rudeness, and please if you can give me some ideas. Others might benefit as well. I am not asking for specific recommendations, just some of the names you have found useful or maybe not useful, to help me and him to reduce the search from a general Google search for web hosts. I have a relative who has a somewhat successful regional business currently located in Arizona, who wants to get a website set up for his product(s). He investigated GoDaddy, but didn't seem happy with their terms and conditions. I'm not entrepreneurial enough to even know where to start or what to look for. Any advice or recommendations would be helpful. Regards, Les H

Firefox: 256-bit encryption gone for F20?
by Ranjan Maitra 23 May '14

Hi, I tried the following this morning on Firefox (updated from F20 repos): https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html and came up with 128-bit encryption. I could swear that at least the last time I checked it, it used to report 256-bit encryption. I wonder if/why this no longer holds. I am using firefox-29.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64. Many thanks, Ranjan ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!

IcedTeaPlugin
by Erik P. Olsen 22 May '14

22 May '14

After a recent fedora 20 update probably to google-chrome-stable the IcedTeaPlugin was no longer a plugin. How do I get it back again? And where does google-chrome load its plugins from? -- Erik

Two failures after a recent Fedora 20 update...
by Michael H. Warfield 22 May '14

22 May '14

I'm kind of at a loss here. I recently (yesterday, May 12) updated my Fedora 20 laptop (originally a fresh install of F20 a couple of months ago, no update from previous rev). I had previously updated it on April 30, less that 2 weeks ago. Now two critical applications, liferea and evolution, are failing catastrophically in a very similar manner. For reference - I run XFCE with the Enlightenment 0.16 Window Manager. I run 6 virtual desktops, each of which are 4 screen viewports wide by 3 high. Don't ask why, just understand they are need and used... I don't think that's a factor. Gnome3 is not an option and it's abject lack of performance (and viewports within desktops) would be prohibitive. Both apps segfault and have OpenJDK messages just after the backtrace and before the segfault message... This is from evolution: [mhw@canyon ~]$ evolution (evolution:16883): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files ** (evolution:16883): WARNING **: Failed to add service 'mhw(a)WittsEnd.com (Remus)' (1136503786.7497.0(a)canyon.wittsend.com): No provider available for protocol 'imap4' 1 0x3da6712537 /lib64/libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so.0(WTFCrash+0x17) [0x3da6712537] 2 0x3da671a07c /lib64/libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so.0(_ZN3WTF10fastMallocEm+0x2ec) [0x3da671a07c] 3 0x3da674622b /lib64/libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so.0(_ZN3WTF10StringImpl6createEPKhj+0x2b) [0x3da674622b] : 28 0x31d2c155ea /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0() [0x31d2c155ea] 29 0x31d2c17814 /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_object_new_valist+0x354) [0x31d2c17814] 30 0x31d2c17c11 /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0(g_object_new+0xf1) [0x31d2c17c11] 31 0x3dac61fcde /usr/lib64/evolution/3.10/libevolution-shell.so() [0x3dac61fcde] java version "1.7.0_55" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.4.7.0.fc20-x86_64 u55-b13) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode) Segmentation fault (core dumped) [mhw@canyon ~]$ I get very similar results from liferea. Initial bitching seems to be about Javascript and it ends with a java version, OpenJDK messages and a segfault and core dump. With Evolution, I got it to work for a while by removing all of .local/share/evolution .cache/evolution and .config/evolution and then restarting it. After many many hours of downloading my information from my imap servers (I have several hundred folders and multiple sites), it was running again. Next time I had to close it and restart, it hurled chunks again. Screwed... Liferea has been similar. It won't start with my old subscription list. So, I eliminated .local/share/liferea .cache/liferea and .config/liferea and and restarted. But... The moment I touch any subscription to look at the articles, it crashes with an error very similar to what's above. ForGetAboutIt when it comes to importing an old list. None of Liferea, Evolution, or OpenJDK were updated between April 30 and May 12. A Bugzilla has been opened on the Liferea problem and the auto ABRT report has been sent on Evolution. I'm having to resort to an (up to date) tower that's running Fedora 19 and afraid to update it to Fedora 20 as this point. Anyone have any idea what the hell has gone wrong here and what I might do to work around it? Regards, Mike -- Michael H.

Why doesn't Fedora 20 find my print server?
by Tim 22 May '14

22 May '14

For many years, now, I've run a CUPS server on my LAN, that any distro of Linux I've switched on has managed to find the printers it publishes, without me having to do any client configuration on the PC, other than making sure the firewall isn't in the way. The CUPS server advertises itself, the clients find it, automatically, and when I want to print something, there's a list of available printers that I can print to. This is how it's supposed to work. Fedora 20, however, finds nothing. I don't want to have to go around configuring all the clients, and all the user accounts on each of the clients. That's a really dumb way of doing things, something that CUPS and Linux used to manage to avoid. Nor do I want to play silly buggers with Avahi. None of the printers are UPnP/zeroconf thingummies, nor the print server. What is wrong with the Fedora 20 CUPS client? -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.14.3-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 6 19:23:18 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

trying to clarify/distinguish the various ACPI-related packages
by Robert P. J. Day 22 May '14

22 May '14

bit of a beginner WRT to ACPI so i want to install the "appropriate" packages on my fedora rawhide system to play with ACP, and there appear to be a number of them: $ yum search acpi acpi.x86_64 : Command-line ACPI client acpica-tools.x86_64 : ACPICA tools for the development and debug of ACPI tables acpid.x86_64 : ACPI Event Daemon acpid-sysvinit.x86_64 : ACPI Event Daemon acpitool.x86_64 : Command line ACPI client claws-mail-plugins-acpi-notifier.x86_64 : ACPI notification plugin for Claws Mail libacpi.i686 : General purpose library for ACPI libacpi.x86_64 : General purpose library for ACPI libacpi-devel.i686 : Development files for libacpi libacpi-devel.x86_64 : Development files for libacpi wmacpi.x86_64 : Dockapp for laptop acpi/apm information yacpi.x86_64 : Yet Another Configuration and Power Interface $ currently, i can see the [acpi_thermal_pm] kernel thread running, and i have *none* of the above packages installed. are some of these packages obsoleted or superseded by some of the others? what is the state of the art WRT ACPI in userspace? just trying to figure out which packages are relevant and which aren't. thanks. rday p.s. i did find this web page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AcpicaTools which i am perusing right now. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

clear DNS cache
by SternData 22 May '14

22 May '14

My system is set to go directly to the OpenDNS name servers for DNS resolution. However, the results I get from "nslookup" differ from what I get if I query the same name server from another machine with the same resolv.conf settings. That leads me to believe that DNS info is being cached locally somewhere. I don't have bind or nscd installed. Where is this caching taking place and how can I clear/flush it? -- -- Steve

Very OT but I need help
by Roger 22 May '14

22 May '14

I do hope someone can help me here. Running Fedora 20 fully updated. Installed JDK8 with netbeans this evening. All good but when I select <New Project> the Categories section has only 5 java selections, no HTML or PHP, nothing. I have been googling for hours but there's nothing of any help. Does anyone out there actually use JDK and netbeans and if so can you please help with correcting this as I need to help develop a HTML5/CSS3/AngularJS application. thank you in advance Roger

Sound not working on 3.12.x and 3.13.x kernels for Fedora 20
by dwoody1 22 May '14

22 May '14

I installed F20 shortly after it's release. Everything worked as expected. All kernels released since then have resulted in the sound not working. The kernel that works is 3.11.10-301.fc20.i686+PAE. Sound does not work for the 3.12.x and 3.13.x kernels. I have searched for a solution for this and found several recommendations but none worked for me. I have compared a listing of the modules (lsmod) from the working kernel and non-working kennel and both lists have the same sound modules loaded (there is a size difference in some of the modules, but I expected that). I have compared the output from amixer for both working and non-working kernels and they are exactly the same. The sound related packages that are installed are: pulseaudio-libs-glib2-4.0-13.gitf81e3.fc20.i686 alsa-tools-firmware-1.0.27-3.fc20.i686 alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-4.fc20.i686 alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.16.rc2.fc20.i686 alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-2.fc20.i686 pulseaudio-libs-4.0-13.gitf81e3.fc20.i686 alsa-firmware-1.0.27-2.fc20.noarch I am not very knowledgeable about sound. I am sure I need to check other configuration settings but I do not know which files are relevant. Any help will be appreciated, David

Laser printer density -
by Bob Goodwin 21 May '14

21 May '14

I have two Brother laser printers. Not surprisingly the newer one (HL-2170w) prints a test page somewhat darker than the old HL-5140 even with new toner and drum cartridges. Printing a test page from either one shows the Density set to 0. I assume that setting the density higher puts more toner on the paper and produces darker text however I am unable to find how to change the density setting. There is an item for Density under Print > Advanced, as well as Brightness and Contrast, but they have no perceptible effect that I can see. The printer works as it is but I think it could be better. Has anyone any thoughts on where to change this? There must be a configuration file somewhere ... Thanks, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-20/64bit Linux/XFCE

screen resolution weird
by Rafnews 21 May '14

21 May '14

Hi, i installed an old laptop for my 3 years old son as in school they already learn how to do simple things with computer 9painting, watching cartoons, and so on...) my problem is the following one: After my son logs in F20 KDE, it's like all icons on the desktop are zoomed in. when i move the mouse i can see that mouse pointer goes far far far below the bottom part of the monitor...so it's like the screen resolution is set up for people having problem seeing well.... even if i have the bottom bar with the icons and menus i can not reach it very well as mouse pointer must go "outside" monitor viewport to reach it and it is really bad thing. If i log with my account, everything is ok, so i believe it's a simple issue but i must confess i don't know where can i check or reinit the gnome desktop to default (without losing son's game icons on desktop) Any idea would be helpful. thx. A.

Sending email to my local server
by Timothy Murphy 21 May '14

21 May '14

I'm trying to send email from my Fedora-20/KDE laptop "rose" to my CentOS-6.5 local home server "grover" (in order to run a SpamAssassin test), but I am finding this surprisingly difficult. I've tried with KMail and mail, sending email to "tim@grover", "tim(a)grover.localdomain", and various other combinations, but all fail with "recipient rejected". And telnet gives [tim@rose ~]$ telnet 192.168.2.5 25 Trying 192.168.2.5... telnet: connect to address 192.168.2.5: Connection refused Is there a setting I could change, or is the exercise hopeless? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-05-20)
by Matthew Miller 20 May '14

20 May '14

Reposted from http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-05-20/ 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 May 20th, 2014: Fedora Project Leader Robyn Bergeron announces her retirement ------------------------------------------------------------- Robyn Bergeron has been the Fedora Project Leader since early 2012, leading us through the F17, F18, F19, and F20 releases. I'll keep this from becoming a eulogy, since in her retirement announcement, she promises to stick around even after passing the FPL torch. But, thanks to Robyn for many excellent things over the past two years, including introducing the idea of reinventing FUDCon as Flock, championing Cloud, Big Data, and DevOps as *actual important things* beyond the buzzwords, and generally being awesome and supportive and above all deeply committed to the community. * http://robyn.io/2014/05/19/thanks-to-you-im-much-obliged/ FUDCon APAC 2014 in Beijing --------------------------- Fedora's main planning and development conference is Flock, (this year, in Prague in August), but we also have a number of "FUDCons" worldwide. That stands for Fedora User and Developer Conference, and yes, it's a little bit of a joke over the reference to Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (we are against that... *con* to FUD, if you will). It's okay, you don't all have to laugh at once. Anyway, the important thing is that FUDCon Beijing 2014 is happening this weekend. The schedule is posted on the wiki, and registration is open. Read more in an earlier Fedora Magazine article, if you missed it last week. * http://flocktofedora.org/ * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Beijing_2014 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Beijing_2014#Schedule * http://2014-gf.eventdove.com/event/4394/page/11138 * http://fedoramagazine.org/fudcon-beijing-2014-featuring-richard-stallman/ Fedora Package Database, version 2 ---------------------------------- Fedora contributor Ryan Lerch scooped me on this one, posting an article about this tool has been updated to a new version, called `pkgdb2`. (The "Version 1.7" you see at that link is because it's version 1.7 of the *rewrite*, following a grand tradition of confusing software numbering schemes.) This tool is primarily for Fedora packagers, but can also be useful to other contributors or advanced users, because it's an easy way to see who is responsible for software you're interested in, or to see what packages a particular contributor takes care of. For example, you can see the (small) list of packages I own. * http://fedoramagazine.org/new-packagedb-now-available-for-fedora-packager%2… * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/mattdm/ Help with release notes for Fedora 21 ------------------------------------- Perhaps you're one of the brave souls running Rawhide, Fedora's development tree, or are otherwise involved in testing or developing packages for the Fedora 21 release. Pete Travis from Documentation team recently put out a call to testers to help with the release notes by helping them track interesting things which should be documented. As he notes, just mentioning these quietly to yourself doesn't help, but there are a number of very easy things which *will*. You don't even need to write anything — just point at what's needed. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-May/121319.html CoreOS vs. Project Atomic: A Review ----------------------------------- Major Hayden has an interesting blog post comparing CoreOS and Project Atomic, basically from a systems administrator's perspective. (I talked about Fedora Atomic in a 5tFTW post last month.) Major's review is evenhanded and fair, but since this is a *Fedora* news post, I'm going to tip a little bit towards bits we have in Fedora and pick out this nice quote: > There’s a helpful GUI called cockpit that gives you a great status > readout on all of your connected servers. It lacks some functionality > in the container and gear management arena, but it’s very useful for a > pre-release application. One of the best features is the ability to > open a console for your containers right there in the web browser. I > find it to be more intuitive and more useful than more mature Docker > GUIs like shipyard. * http://major.io/2014/05/13/coreos-vs-project-atomic-a-review/ * https://coreos.com/ * http://www.projectatomic.io/ * http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-04-22/ * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CockpitManagementConsole * http://shipyard-project.com/ -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Tepid change for the somewhat better!"

UEFI Big Drive question
by CS DBA 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi all; we've just ordered a new server (http://www.spectrumservers.com/ssproducts/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=26&idpr…) Originally I tried to simply upgrade an older server with more drive space, I installed 6 4TB drives and did a new OS install but the OS would not allow me to configure more than 2TB per drive. Subsequent research leads me to conclude that if the bios supports UEFI and the installer boots as such then the installer should see 4TB drives without any issues. I'm also assuming that any server I order today (i.e. a more modern server) should ship with UEFI support in the bios. Are my conclusions above per UEFI correct? Thanks in advance

strange sendmail behavir
by SternData 18 May '14

18 May '14

I have root aliased to "webmaster(a)mydomain.com" in /etc/aliases. When I use "sendmail -bv root", it shows that the mail will be send to "webmaster(a)mydomain.com". But when I use "mail root", the mail goes to "root(a)mylocalhost.mydomain.com". Mail is handled by a SMARTHOST statement going out to a gmail mx server, but the problem remains if I let it default to finding an MX on its own. I'm baffled. -- -- Steve

Re: update grub2
by Patrick Dupre 18 May '14

OK, Thank you. I understand the mistake: in /etc/fstab, there is /dev/mapper/VolGrpSys_DK0-root / ext4 defaults 1 1 instead of: /dev/mapper/VolGrpSys_DK1-root / ext4 defaults 1 1 However, mount gives: /dev/mapper/VolGrpSys_DK1-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,stripe=2,data=ordered) How is it possible? Is / mounted before the reading of /etc/fstab (ie from grub2)? And then because / is already mounted, it cannot be mounted again, then why mount / in fstab then?

Serviio Media Server: Songs play for only about one minute
by Steven P. Ulrick 17 May '14

17 May '14

Hello, Everyone I realize that this almost certainly an issue with Serviio. But I thought that maybe some of you have had similar issues using DLNA servers on Fedora 20, so here goes... I have just done a completely fresh install of Serviio 1.4.1.2 on Fedora Linux 20. I am having an issue where MP3's that I have recently ripped/encoded only show a length of about one minute, and sure enough, that is as long as it plays! For example, let's say the length of a song is 8 minutes. When I play the song using Serviio 1.4.1.2, the length of the song is shown as 1 minute. So, I play the song, and exactly one minute into the song, it stops and goes to the next song. I have tried playing MP3's that I encoded a long time ago, and they seem to show the correct length, and the entire song plays. Some details about the old MP3's. the one's that work correctly: They were encoded using various versions of the LAME encoder, at 128kbs and a 44.1 kHz sampling rate. Some of them were ripped from physical, store bought CD's, the others I reencoded from MP3's I purchased from AmazonMP3, eMusic.com or Google Play. Details about the MP3's that are NOT working correctly: I re-ripped them within the past few days. ALL of these MP3's are encoded from WAV files that I got from ripping physical, store bought CD's. I am using this version of LAME: LAME 64bits version 3.100 (alpha 2, May 12 2014 14:40:38) I am encoding at a 320kbs bitrate, with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. Here is a log file entry showing one of the offending files: 2014-05-17 21:39:32,415 INFO [LibraryUpdatesCheckerThread] Updated 'The Day The World Turned Day-Glo' (/home/Serviio/Music/Punk & New Wave/x/X-Ray Spex/Let's Submerge: The Anthology/Let's Submerge: The Anthology (Disc 1)/03 - The Day The World Turned Day-Glo - X-Ray Spex.mp3) in Library Also, I run Serviio from a PC that I use only for that purpose. I rsync the MP3's from my main PC. Also, if I do "ls -lh *.mp3" in a directory on my media server that contains some of the files that Serviio appears to be truncating, they are the exact same size as the original file that was rsync'd from my main PC. Almost forgot: The drive that I am ripping with is as follows: ASUS BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS 12X Blu-ray Internal Burner Drive with Disc Encryption That would be one difference between my old MP3's and the new ones... So, I am at a loss. If you have any ideas, I'm all ears. Steven P. Ulrick

Thunderbird--find messages
by Doug 17 May '14

17 May '14

I didn't know what list to send this to, but since there has been some discussion about Mozilla products here, I'll try this one. I get a large number of messages every day, in addition to those I filter out and don't see. Unfortunately, some of these messages seem to come in out of time sync, for one reason or another. I don't send everything on the incoming list to trash as soon as I read it. Some of the letters I keep for later reference. Some are tagged, some not. The resulting message list may have two or three, or tonight, 20, unread messages mixed in with the read and temporarily saved messages, so that the Inbox reads "Inbox (20)" even tho you are at the bottom of the list. Now you have to go and find these 20 emails, which are scattered among perhaps 100 or more messages in the list which have been read already. It would be nice if there were a button somewhere that would go to the highlighted messages, one at a time, starting at the top and working its way down, until they have all been opened and/or deleted. Maybe someone from Mozilla (or Pale Moon, which is said to be working on a Thunderbird clone) will see this here. sorry if it's far off topic--doug

SNA Acceleration for Intel Graphics
by Justin Brown 17 May '14

17 May '14

I'm trying to test Intel's SNA acceleration on Haswell, but Xorg is not loading my settings. All of the documentation on enabling SNA is basically the same. Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf containing Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Then reboot. Unfortunately, my Fedora 20 system always keeps using UXA acceleration based on ~: grep -ie uxa -ie sna /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations: I've read through the full /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and don't see any sort of errors. From the beginning of the log, this section seems like the only relevant part: (==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section. (==) No screen section available. Using defaults. (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0) (**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>" (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section". Using a default monitor configuration. (==) Automatically adding devices (==) Automatically enabling devices (==) Automatically adding GPU devices Has anyone else been able to enable SNA in Fedora 20 and were any special steps needed? Thanks, Justin

Thunderbird slows down if a lot of recipients (about 86) are located in the to-header entry of a received email
by Joachim Backes 17 May '14

17 May '14

Hi all, I'm running thunderbird-24.5.0-2.fc20.x86_64 and seeing the following effect: sometimes I'm receiving emails with a lot of recepients (about 86) in the TO-header-entry of this email. If I set *view->headers->all*, thunderbird needs a lot of time (about 3-4 secs) to open and display such an email. Same effect if running with disabled extensions (-safe-mode). I get rid of this effect if switching back to *view->headers->normal*. Then such en email is opened immediately. Anybody sees this too? Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel-3.14.4-200.fc20.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/index.html

help: FC19, FC20 desktop turned black
by Charlie Zender 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hi, After running my FC19 laptop without rebooting for many months, I rebooted and of course things had changed (due to updates) so the system failed to come up correctly. Specifically the login screen was fine but the KDE background is now all black except for the cursor which has a white outline. Since I can't see the workspace, it is useless. From the terminal command line I then upgraded to FC20 but unfortunately the same problem persists. KDE Failsafe mode works fine, though (background is not black). Gnome desktop complains of an error and refuses to start. How do you recommend I restore the KDE background? Thanks! cz p.s.

changing editor in m-c
by Frank McCormick 15 May '14

15 May '14

I have spent sometime trying to figure out how to change the default editor in Midnight Commander. I am running XFCE most of the time on Fedora 19 I have tried suggestions from Googling including exporting EDITOR in $HOME/bashrc...running select-editor ( doesn't appear to be on Fedora )and creating a .select_editor text file in HOME. None have worked so far. If I open a terminal first then m-c loads the proper editor...but if I call m-c from a desktop file which loads a terminal, then loads m-c with the -e option then vi is loaded. I am missing something. -- 1984 was not meant as a blueprint for democratic governments.

Acrobat fonts compared to Evince fonts
by Robert Moskowitz 15 May '14

15 May '14

I am displaying IEEE 802 standard pdfs. In Acrobat that I get for Fedora from Adobe's repo, the font used is basically unreadable, particularly when I display it on the monitor in the meeting room. But switching to Evince document viewer, the fonts are 'normal' and readable by myself and everyone in the room. This is not 'new' in Fedora 20; the group has been complaining to me about this at least back in F17. I cannot find where Acrobat selects its fonts or what font Evince is using. I have another session tomorrow and I would really like to get this fixed up. Please help figure out the font selection. Thanks from IEEE 802 Wireless Interim meeting.

Upgrading Windows on a Linux laptop
by Timothy Murphy 14 May '14

14 May '14

I rarely use Windows on my dual-boot Fedora-20/KDE laptop, but I'd like to update Windows XP to Windows 7 now. I found when I did this on a CentOS machine I was unable to get back to Linux, and had to re-install CentOS. I don't understand why, as I had saved and re-installed the MBR. Am I wrong in thinking that this should be sufficient? If not, what else do I need to save? I don't intend to make any partition changes. All suggestions and advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

stopping cinnamon-started apps at logout
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht 14 May '14

14 May '14

I'd assumed that the apps started by cinnamon when I logged in would also be killed when I logged out. That doesn't seem to be the case for non-X11 programs that hang around forever and watch files. Those programs just get passed off to PID 1 when one logs out and continue on their merry way till the system reboots. If one logs in again, another instance of the program is started. The exact program I'm running is a IMAP watcher that watches my remote INBOX and grabs the new mail as soon as it arrives. It would be good if it stopped when I logged out. /usr/bin/getmail --idle=INBOX Any ideas? Do I have to keep track of the PID myself and find a logout hook to hang a kill -HUP onto? Does .bash_logout or .logout even get called? -wolfgang

Consistent device naming
by CLOSE Dave 14 May '14

14 May '14

I manage a lab with more than a hundred machines, all doing the same things. Presently they are running Fedora 13 and are obviously sorely overdue for an upgrade. But doing an upgrade is likely to present several issues, one of which I'd like to discuss today. The machines come from several manufactures and were purchased over a span of years. Their hardware differs substantially but all have two Ethernet interfaces. With F13, these are /always/ called eth0 and eth1. When one is implemented by an add-in card and the other is on the motherboard, the motherboard interface is /always/ eth0. My experience with newer Fedora releases, on other machines, is that this naming reliability has gone away. The names assigned, by default, depend on the hardware configuration of the machine. Some may call the motherboard port em1, others may call it p1p4, and even more names are possible. The add-in port has similarly inconsistent names. Note, I don't mean the names are inconsistent on the same machine. I understand the purpose of the systemd/udev naming rules and how they work, but they get in my way. So I know that I can try to return to the old naming system using one or more techniques (<http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfac…>). And I've tried them all. But I find that, sometimes the motherboard port gets called eth0 and the add-in port is eth1, and sometimes those names get reversed. This is /not/ the old behavior even though it uses the old names. I want to run the same software on all of these machines and having inconsistent names /between/ the machines makes that next to impossible. Using the new names means that my software has to learn all those different names and can't easily determine which name applies to the motherboard port. Using the old names means it can't predict which name will be given to which port. There's got to be a better answer. -- Dave Close

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-05-13)
by Matthew Miller 14 May '14

14 May '14

(Whoops -- I accidentally reposted last week's 5tFTW last night instead of the new one. Sorry!) Reposted from http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-05-13/ 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 May 13th, 2014: Pidora 2014: Fedora 20 for the Raspberry Pi ------------------------------------------- I was going to put this at the top of the list last week, and somehow missed it when it came to actually writing things up, so this is actually last week’s news. But it’s pretty cool, so here it is at the top of *this* week. The Raspberry Pi is a very cheap (starting somewhere around $25) credit-card-sized computer. Unfortunately, Fedora doesn’t work on it without some modifications. But, fortunately, those modifications have been made! The Centre for Development of Open Technology at Seneca College in Toronto produces a Fedora Remix called Pidora, specifically tailored for the Raspberry Pi. (A “remix” is different from a “spin” or other variants of Fedora because it is produced separately from the project itself and can contain software that in the official distribution.) This project has just released its fourth version, Pidora 2014. This is based on Fedora 20, so you get all of the benefits of the new Fedora release, plus some specific improvements, including better performance, firstboot configuration tailored for the Raspberry Pi, enhancements for “headless” mode where no monitor is available, and more. * http://www.raspberrypi.org/ * http://cdot.senecacollege.ca/ * http://pidora.ca/ * http://pidora.ca/pidora/releases/20/release-announcement.txt Big Data: Running Apache Hadoop in Docker on Fedora --------------------------------------------------- Apache Hadoop is an open source software framework for processing big data sets. Like, *really big* data — it powers Yahoo’s search engine, and Facebook has a Hadoop cluster that was 100 petabytes two years ago. Of course, you can use it for smaller projects, and Robert Radi has written a nice little series of posts on getting started with Hadoop using Fedora and Docker, covering: - Building Images, - Running Images, - Why It Works, and - Issues and Limitations. Definitely worth a read if you’re curious about modern data processing, and the last part presents some interesting problems waiting to be solved. * http://www.infoworld.com/d/big-data/facebook-pushes-the-limits-of-hadoop-20… * http://rrati.github.io/blog/2014/05/06/apache-hadoop-plus-docker-plus-fedor… * http://rrati.github.io/blog/2014/05/07/apache-hadoop-plus-docker-plus-fedor… * http://rrati.github.io/blog/2014/05/08/apache-hadoop-plus-docker-plus-fedor… * http://rrati.github.io/blog/2014/05/09/apache-hadoop-plus-docker-plus-fedor… Preview of Bodhi 2, the new Fedora updates feedback mechanism ------------------------------------------------------------- One of the most important jobs in Fedora is testing package updates before they’re released to the general public. This makes sure that fixes actually work, and that they don’t introduce new problems. (As always, the help wanted sign is out!) After testers check a package, they use a tool called Bodhi to provide feedback to package maintainers, who use this information to decide whether the update is good to go, either manually or through a preset threshold of positive reports. This system has served us pretty well, but has some pain points. Fedora hackers Luke Macken and Ralph Bean have been working on an update (creatively named Bodhi 2.0), and this week Ralph presents a video demonstrating one of the improvements, a more fine-grained feedback system, which allows testers to list what exactly was tested and which bugs are fixed, rather than just a big “up” or “down”. Ralph notes that there is a Fedora Activity Day (“FAD”) focusing on Bodhi 2 and Tasktron (our upcoming QA automation system) in June, and a lot of progress should be made on both — great news for both the people directly involved in QA and all the rest of us who benefit from their labor. * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bodhi/2.0 * http://threebean.org/blog/bodhi2-karma-system-preview/ * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Bodhi2_Taskotron_2014 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA Running Vagrant on Fedora with Libvirt -------------------------------------- Vagrant is a tool for creating and managing virtual machine images containing software development environments. It’s particularly popular in the DevOps world. It’s also something we’ve been missing in the Fedora world, but the situation is getting better James, (from *The Technical Blog of James*), has an article about getting Vagrant running on Fedora. Thanks to James for the clear, straightforward How-To. It ends with a call for help — it’d be great to have the mentioned vagrant-libvirt plugin packaged in in the distro, making it even easier for end-users. See some discussion in the comments there. And also see this ticket requesting an official Fedora Vagrant Base Box — so many great ways to get involved here. * http://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/105516-Debois.pdf * http://ttboj.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/vagrant-on-fedora-with-libvirt-repris… * https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/44 Fedora Magazine Authors Wanted ------------------------------ Speaking of ways to get involved: we’re looking for people interested in writing for *Fedora Magazine* (the blog where I’m posting these articles, if you happen to be reading this somewhere else). Doesn’t need to be a big production number, but it’d be great to have a few more regularly-occurring features. If you might be interested, don’t be shy — join us in Fedora Marketing and we’ll get you what you need to get started. * http://fedoramagazine.org/ * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Dockah!

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-05-06)
by Matthew Miller 13 May '14

13 May '14

Reposted from http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-05-06/ 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 May 6th, 2014: Add Your Art to Fedora ---------------------- Every Fedora release ships with a collection of non-default desktop wallpaper, provided by (and selected by!) the Fedora community. On his blog, Fedora Design Team member Sirko Kemter announces that the artwork submission period for Fedora 21 is now open. Entries must be licensed under a liberal open content license and meet some basic technical and content requirements. The deadline is August 16th, but it never hurts to start creating early. Both submissions and voting are handled by Nuancier, a web application dedicated to the task. You can see last year’s results, too! * http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=4579 * https://apps.fedoraproject.org/nuancier/ * https://apps.fedoraproject.org/nuancier/results/1/ LinuxFest Northwest ------------------- The 15th annual LinuxFest Northwest was held last week in (as it always is) Bellingham, Washington. Fedora was well-represented, of course. Jeff Sandys provides a brief blog report on the event, with a title implying more to come. Also worth watching is Brian Lunduke’s annual “Linux Sucks” report. Make sure to stick around for the second half — Fedora comes out rather well overall, despite the talk’s tongue-in-cheek title. * http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/ * http://alg0rhythm.livejournal.com/8885.html * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pOxlazS3zs Fedora Regional Budgets ----------------------- Fedora Ambassadors are the outreach arm of the project — volunteers who spread the word of our collective greatness. Often, this is through organizing and attending events, and of course that takes money for travel, lodging, swag, and so on. Curious how this breaks down? Jiří Eischmann (a member of FAmSCo, the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee) has a blog post reviewing the (just completed) Fiscal Year 2014 Regional Budgets. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassadors_Steering_Committee * https://eischmann.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/fedora-regional-budgets-in-fy201… Fedora.next QA Test Plans ------------------------- Fedora’s Quality Assurance team has been working with the various new Fedora Working Groups (see the Fedora.next article series if you haven’t been following along) to create plans for testing the different products envisioned in the brave new world of Fedora 21 and beyond. At yesterday’s QA meeting, Adam Williamson, Ankur Sinha, and Mike Ruckman discussed draft plan documents for Server, Workstation, and Cloud, and Adam is planning to put the three together and come up with an idea of what overall test coverage looks like. Sound interesting to you? Take a look at the Join QA wiki page, or if you’re especially interested in a particular area, the corresponding Special Interest Group. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA * http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-present-and-future-a-fedora-next-2014-upda… * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-May/121261.html * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_Server_test_outline * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha/Workstation_test_outline * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Roshi/QA/Cloud_Docs * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join Fedora Dockerfiles Collection ----------------------------- You’ve probably heard of Docker by now — containers have gained huge traction as an attractive alternative to full virtualization, and Docker may be the buzziest container-related technology of all. It provides a simple command-line tool for fetching special images and launching them as application containers, where each gets a special view of the system where it appears to be the only thing running — the process is isolated from the rest of the system. Docker containers bring along their entire runtime, so each image is its own little Fedora (or, of course, other Linux system — CentOS or Ubuntu or whatever, if you want). And these images are created on top of a *base image* using a recipe called a Dockerfile. (It’s something like an RPM spec file or a kickstart script, if you’re familiar with those.) Fedora contributor Scott Collier maintains a collection of examples named, simply enough, `fedora-dockerfiles`, and this week he notes that there’s a new version. This contains examples including the Apache httpd webserver, PostgreSQL database, and many more… even a ready-to-go WordPress installation. Scott also has quick instructions on building and running images from these Dockerfiles in an earlier blog post. It’s pretty simple, really — which is the appeal. Oh, and be aware that we are mostly talking about *server*applications here, not desktop apps (although containers are a big topic there too, and it’ll be interesting to see how the ideas come together). * http://docker.io/ * http://docs.docker.io/installation/fedora/ * http://www.colliernotes.com/2014/05/new-fedora-dockerfiles-package-is-out.h… * http://www.colliernotes.com/2014/03/new-package-fedora-dockerfiles-is-now.h… -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Dockah!

Rather interesting problem with upgrade
by Roger 13 May '14

13 May '14

Yesterday I upgraded my Fedora 19 to Fedora 20 and find that Grub shows Fedora 20 option, Centos 6.5 option but does not find my ubuntu 14.04LTS installation, instead showing 2 Fedora 19 options. As far as I can tell nothing of Fedora 19 remains. I am unfamiliar with how one should get grub to fine the Ububntu 14.04 boot option? Thanks in advance for any help Roger

Fedup 19 to 20 fails after stuck keyboard
by linuxnutster＠videotron.ca 13 May '14

13 May '14

I sent this one to the fedora forum; perhaps somebody here knows the solution: Here's a new one. Right in the middle of using fedup to upgrade F19 to F20, an acquaintance came in, removed his notebook, and promptly dumped his notebook case on the upgrading machine's keyboard. By the time I looked back at the machine, the screen was a virtual hailstorm of looping back garbage. I rebooted the machine, and it promptly entered the last fedora 19 kernel; however, when I relaunch fedup, I get a notice that the system is already updated, which it obviously is not. How do I "force" fedup to relaunch the process? Thanks!

Firefox and favicons
by Joachim Backes 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi all, Since some (??) firefox version (my current version is firefox-29.0-5.fc20.x86_64) favicons don't work. I'm sure that in some earlier firefox versions they were supported. This issue seems to be distribution independent. Anybody knows when the support will resume? Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel-3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/index.html

Wrong libudev version
by Suvayu Ali 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi, I'm trying to compile an application[1]. The compilation succeeds, but fails at the last linking step like this. LINK(target) out/Release/Brackets /usr/bin/ld: warning: libudev.so.0, needed by Release/libcef.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) LINK(target) out/Release/Brackets: Finished When I search with `repoquery -f \*/libudev\*', I get back systemd-libs and systemd-devel; both of which are installed. systemd-libs provides /usr/lib64/libudev.so.1, and systemd-devel provides /usr/lib64/libudev.so, which is a symlink to the actual library. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas? Thanks, Footnotes: [1] https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/wiki/Building-brackets-shell -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Hi folks. I've got a virtual server running on 123-reg's farm which is running F17. I'm looking for adivce, suggestions, gocha's etc regarding upgrading this system at least as far as F19 if not F20. I'm looking at probably using fedup as I've used that in the past but always on boxes that I was physically sat in front of. Gary

Pulseaudio volume control crashes sound
by Paul Cartwright 12 May '14

12 May '14

I was trying to make a call on skype, and they couldn't hear me ( I guess I need to plug in a microphone;-) but in the process I ran the PA volume control, or tried to. It started, brought up a window saying something like " trying to talk to sound server, or connecting to sound server... I forget exactly", then the PA volume control window disappeared, and I had no sound. Besides logging out & back in, what can I do to bring back the sound?? how do you restart pulseaudio?? Fedora 20 amd_64.. what are my options to get rid of Pulseaudio?? install alsa?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587

BZ 1010572 || systemd useless socket
by Soham Chakraborty 12 May '14

12 May '14

Howdy folks, Typically this is a discussion material in the bugzilla itself but I am wondering that if any of you has hit this bug on F20, then is there any way around or some hack fix? Or rather even, any way to bring the system back to usable state at all? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010572 I don't see any progress on the bugzilla. And in case anyone has found anything... Thanks,

Can you either post the entire grub.cfg, or you can also edit an older entry and check what root= it uses. For any rootfs on LVM, I expect root=/dev/mapper/VG-LV. When updating the kernel, it calls grubby, which should just create a new entry based on a previous entry only updating the name of the kernel and initramfs accordingly.

screen goes black in fedora 20 live cd
by Fatemeh Mehdizadeh 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi all, I want to use live cd of fedora 20 but when it boots up suddenly it's screen goes black. I search about this and do the following steps: 1. In /etc/default/grub, I remove "nomodeset" 2. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 3.reboot Now my system is very bright and nice but just for some minutes! After some minutes the screen goes black. when I add nomodeset I don't see black screen but in live cd I see it. Also with nomodeset it can't recognize my graphic card(radeon). Thanks.

Tips on burning to Bluray (BD-R) media under Fedora 20
by Steven P. Ulrick 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hello, Everyone I just installed a new Asus Bluray drive/burner and everything seems to work fine so far except for one thing: I can't burn to Bluray (BD-R) media using K3B. K3B detects my media correctly, even tells me in the burn dialog that I have an "Empty BD-R medium" in the drive. I am trying to burn 21.4 GiB to a disc that K3B automatically detects as having a capacity of 23.3 GiB. So, things look good so far... Then I do the following: 1. "Open the burn dialog for the current project" 2. Click the "Burn" button. 3. This soon results in this interesting message: Found medium: Empty BD-R medium Please insert an empty medium of size 21.4 GiB or larger into drive ASUS BC-12B1ST b (/dev/sr0) Load Eject Cancel As you probably assume, clicking "Load" just redraws the above quoted error message... Right now I am using mkisofs to make an image of the same 21.4 GiB of data that I want to test this new drive with. We'll see what happens... Oh yeah, this new drive rips CD's perfectly, as well as burning to single layer DVD media. I don't have any dual layer around to play with. Thank you for your help, Steven P. Ulrick

CPUFREQ on a Thinkpad Yoga i7 in a new Fedora 20 install
by Alan E. Davis 11 May '14

11 May '14

I had a good experience, almost perfect, with Fedora some months ago, staring with the Beta of F20. Since then I've tried several Linux distros, each of them as usual, with some issue to separate itself from the rest. I have a new Lenovo Yoga ultrabook and want to ruin LInux on. I have been through 3 or 4. So I thought, "Let's try Fedora again." The install went well on this UEFI system, installing the other linux distros on other partitions, as well as the Windows Boot Loader, on the Grub menu. I am happy, Fedora is awesome. With the exception of a couple of wrinkles. First, I cannot seem to install Jupiter or any other useful cpufrequency tool. And with Fedora, I only see two governor options: performance, and powersave. This is extremely frustrating. This laptop is running an Intel i7 Mobile processor that touts a high CPU freq, but this is only in a "turbo" mode. Other distros have picked up at least four, on this same machine. What are the limitations I am facing here? Kernel, modules, or the inavailability of certain packages, like Jupiter, which I am starting to like quite a lot? As a more general remark, Fedora 20 seems to have left a number of other packages behind as well. I ran into a brick wall as far as documentation on this issue, the issue about cpu frequency. I have now resorted to Desktop Manager roulette to try to find one that supports this. The E17, for example, cpufreq tool, which works fine elsewhere, does not function. Thank you, Alan Davis

What on earth just happened?
by Tom Horsley 09 May '14

09 May '14

I ran yum update this morning, getting a gazillion updates. I rebooted the system. When it came back up, I couldn't log in. I'd get a KDM screen, login, then immediately get the KDM screen again. I tried to login with a "failsafe" session which gave me (apparently) an xterm that printed black rectangles for all characters :-). I tried other sessions like xfce and gnome and got the same KDM login screen popping back up after I typed my password. I got in a vterm as root, created a new user, and logged in as that user with a default gnome session. That seemed to work fine. I decided I should compare what is running in the session with my original user, so I logged out and logged in again as original user, and now my original user login works fine. Logging in once as a different user appears to have completely fixed the system. What the heck was that? (It will be interesting to see if the same sequence happens when I install the latest updates at home).

nsd service file bug
by David Benfell 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hi all, I have reported a bug for nsd at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi? id=1096049 for version 3.2.17-1.fc20 nsd does not support a -D option and therefore fails at start. A workaround is to copy the service file to /etc/systemd/system, remove the -D option from the ExecStart line, and change the service type from 'simple' to 'forking'. Then disable the service and re-enable it. This is a bug that should not have happened and should not have been released into the wild. -- David Benfell See https://parts-unknown.org/node/2 if you do not understand the attachment.

Video editing
by Matthew Saltzman 09 May '14

09 May '14

I shot a video with my phone, but I got it upside down. Not surprisingly, I guess, the usual video playback tools don't have an option to invert the image. Is there anything in Fedora that can carry out that sort of transformation? TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu

KDE using sudo instead of su
by Emmett Culley 08 May '14

08 May '14

I've noticed recently that when I run yumex, or most any other app that needs root permission, from the launcher menu, I am prompted for my user password, instead of the root password. So I assume sudo is being used instead of su. The "run backend with sudo" is not checked in yumex preferences. If I set the menu item to execute as root and add --root to the yumex call I get the root pasword request but then yumex doesn't start. It is interesting that my other workstation works differently. That is, yumex doesn't prompt for the root password until it is about to do something that requires root permissison. But it is asking for the root password, not my user password, as are all other apps that require root permissions. Any ideas how to get apps to require the root password instead of my user password?

[OT] how to see if an rpm file will modify config files upon update
by Gianluca Cecchi 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hello, sorry if this question is more for rpm devs... I know that in a spec file the definition %confg ......./file_name1 will cause update of an edited file_name1, saving the on disk one into .rpmsave before overwriting while %confg(noreplace) ......./file_name2 will retain the edited file_name2 on disk and save the provided new config file into .rpmnew The question is: can I see if a config file was defined in its spec with or without (noreplace) if I have not the spec file and the .src.rpm file, but I have only the final binary rpm? I made some tests but I didn't find any difference Tried queries with "-c" option, with "-V" option and with "--dump" option. Both either with "-f package.rpm" and directly against rpm db but no information extracted. But I think this information should be in any way in the rpm itself... Thanks in advance Gianluca

A few graphic glitches with Fedora 20 MATE+Compiz
by Alad Wenter 06 May '14

06 May '14

Hi, I've recently installed the Fedora 20 MATE/Compiz spin. While it mostly works fine, I'm having a few graphics problems. They seem upstream related, but perhaps you guys have a few ideas. 1. I can't set the size or theme of the mouse pointer; the setting is only respected in Firefox. http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2991&p=8977#p8977 Also mentioned here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=297131 Setting "cursor size" in CompizConfig has no effect either. 2. Qt applications in the system tray show a black border. http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=380&p=8673#p8673 Apparently this goes back to GNOME 2 days - and alternatives (alltray, kdocker) didn't work too well. 3. The popup for mate-volume-control-applet doesn't show in the right place: near the bottom taskbar instead of the top. Regards, Alad -- The Ant tries his best to convince the Kid why he shouldn't be squished. Should we squish bugs? Depends on the bug? Depends on the situation?

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-05-06)
by Matthew Miller 06 May '14

06 May '14

Reposted from http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-05-06/ 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 May 6th, 2014: Add Your Art to Fedora ---------------------- Every Fedora release ships with a collection of non-default desktop wallpaper, provided by (and selected by!) the Fedora community. On his blog, Fedora Design Team member Sirko Kemter announces that the artwork submission period for Fedora 21 is now open. Entries must be licensed under a liberal open content license and meet some basic technical and content requirements. The deadline is August 16th, but it never hurts to start creating early. Both submissions and voting are handled by Nuancier, a web application dedicated to the task. You can see last year’s results, too! * http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=4579 * https://apps.fedoraproject.org/nuancier/ * https://apps.fedoraproject.org/nuancier/results/1/ LinuxFest Northwest ------------------- The 15th annual LinuxFest Northwest was held last week in (as it always is) Bellingham, Washington. Fedora was well-represented, of course. Jeff Sandys provides a brief blog report on the event, with a title implying more to come. Also worth watching is Brian Lunduke’s annual “Linux Sucks” report. Make sure to stick around for the second half — Fedora comes out rather well overall, despite the talk’s tongue-in-cheek title. * http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/ * http://alg0rhythm.livejournal.com/8885.html * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pOxlazS3zs Fedora Regional Budgets ----------------------- Fedora Ambassadors are the outreach arm of the project — volunteers who spread the word of our collective greatness. Often, this is through organizing and attending events, and of course that takes money for travel, lodging, swag, and so on. Curious how this breaks down? Jiří Eischmann (a member of FAmSCo, the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee) has a blog post reviewing the (just completed) Fiscal Year 2014 Regional Budgets. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassadors_Steering_Committee * https://eischmann.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/fedora-regional-budgets-in-fy201… Fedora.next QA Test Plans ------------------------- Fedora’s Quality Assurance team has been working with the various new Fedora Working Groups (see the Fedora.next article series if you haven’t been following along) to create plans for testing the different products envisioned in the brave new world of Fedora 21 and beyond. At yesterday’s QA meeting, Adam Williamson, Ankur Sinha, and Mike Ruckman discussed draft plan documents for Server, Workstation, and Cloud, and Adam is planning to put the three together and come up with an idea of what overall test coverage looks like. Sound interesting to you? Take a look at the Join QA wiki page, or if you’re especially interested in a particular area, the corresponding Special Interest Group. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA * http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-present-and-future-a-fedora-next-2014-upda… * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-May/121261.html * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_Server_test_outline * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha/Workstation_test_outline * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Roshi/QA/Cloud_Docs * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join Fedora Dockerfiles Collection ----------------------------- You’ve probably heard of Docker by now — containers have gained huge traction as an attractive alternative to full virtualization, and Docker may be the buzziest container-related technology of all. It provides a simple command-line tool for fetching special images and launching them as application containers, where each gets a special view of the system where it appears to be the only thing running — the process is isolated from the rest of the system. Docker containers bring along their entire runtime, so each image is its own little Fedora (or, of course, other Linux system — CentOS or Ubuntu or whatever, if you want). And these images are created on top of a *base image* using a recipe called a Dockerfile. (It’s something like an RPM spec file or a kickstart script, if you’re familiar with those.) Fedora contributor Scott Collier maintains a collection of examples named, simply enough, `fedora-dockerfiles`, and this week he notes that there’s a new version. This contains examples including the Apache httpd webserver, PostgreSQL database, and many more… even a ready-to-go WordPress installation. Scott also has quick instructions on building and running images from these Dockerfiles in an earlier blog post. It’s pretty simple, really — which is the appeal. Oh, and be aware that we are mostly talking about *server*applications here, not desktop apps (although containers are a big topic there too, and it’ll be interesting to see how the ideas come together). * http://docker.io/ * http://docs.docker.io/installation/fedora/ * http://www.colliernotes.com/2014/05/new-fedora-dockerfiles-package-is-out.h… * http://www.colliernotes.com/2014/03/new-package-fedora-dockerfiles-is-now.h… -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> "Dockah!

Set SELinux to allow only httpd daemon to use specific tty device
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 06 May '14

06 May '14

Using Fedora 20 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 and selinux targeted policy.29 I've a PHP application that sends data to a USB tty device e.g. /dev/usbDataCollector Unfortunately selinux is blocking this action. When set to permissive, the alert browser suggests the command: setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1 The documentation says Allow all daemons the ability to use unallocated ttys. This naturally doesn't sound like a good idea although admittedly it probably won't hurt in this particular installation. However, I thought it would be good to find the 'correct' solution to this. But I am unable to find a more fine grain SELinux control for this, Fedora 20 has no documentation and the only vaguely relevant one I could find elsewhere is httpd_tty_com which appears unrelated as it is about allow httpd to communicate with terminal. So the question is whether there is any way to do this or is allowing all daemons the only option?

Playing video gone wacky?
by Tom Horsley 05 May '14

05 May '14

Some recent update has completely messed up video playback on my system. I believe mplayer uses the 'xv' output by default and it now looks like it only manages to update a band here and there on each frame. The picture looks like it was run through a shredder and pasted back together with the wrong strips :-). If I play with the 'gl_nosw' output driver, there are no problems (so that's the obvious work around). The only X related update I notice recently was a bunch of mesa libraries on April 30th. But I have all the same mesa libs on my system at work and it has no problems. At work I have the radeon driver, at home I have the intel driver, so maybe it is an intel driver problem (but the intel driver hasn't been updated recently). Any idea what component I should report this against? Anyone else see the same thing? (It isn't isolated to mplayer - I get the same corruption in vlc, etc).

fc20 with full updates: unable to pair with wifi router
by Luke Nath 05 May '14

05 May '14

My wifi interface is not managed by NetworkManager. I start wpa_supplicant manually. The full verbose output of wpa_supplicant below tells why it did not connect, at least that's the only clue I have. Strangely, windows has no problem connecting to the wireless router. I would appreciate ideas as to why my fc20 cannot associate with my router.

unreportable kernel oops / bluetooth
by SternData 05 May '14

05 May '14

I get kerneloops reports that I can't pass on because the kernel is tained by the virtualbox drivers. The oops occurs when a previously paired bluetooth device becomes discoverable. My F20 systems sees the device and connects, then disconnects, then the oops occurs. If I put the device back into discoverable mode, I can use the bluetooth preference panel to connect manually. Any suggestions about how to debug/fix this? -- -- Steve

Doing a bit of c++ compiling
by Robert Moskowitz 05 May '14

05 May '14

OK, in terms of compiling ANYTHING, I am at best a hack. I don't believe I have any compile stuff on this system, as it was a base notebook install. But here I am needing one LITTLE c++ piece of code compiled. You can find it in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack I need to generate some bit lengths and probablities not in their table. So... Can someone point me to a 'simple' howto to install needed components so I can build birthday binary?

Re: remmina

OK, it seems correct. However, I am may be not entirely. For example, if a open a new session, let say :1 I can connect, but then after a while the session is closed is a remain inactive; In theory I should be able to give my password to restart the session like if I was in front of the machine. But this is just not possible The box for the passward takes 1 character and erase it. Then I can never kill the session. I tried to kill and restart, remove the .vnc directory, etc... But never I can reconnect or kill the session. I can only create a new one with vncserver and connect in :2 and again I have to iterate, it looks like for ever I cannot find an help for remmina, however, it may be a vnc issue Thank for your help Fedora users > Subject: Re: remmina > > On 05/02/14 19:14, Patrick Dupre wrote: > > I was trying to terminate (logout or close) a remmina-vnc session, > > not just disconnect! > > When I reconnect, I wish to start a brand new session. > > The only way to do that is to restart the vncserver on host prior to connecting > > -- > Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own.

A new Thinkpad X240 touchpad issue
by Steve Underwood 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hi, I just rebooted my Thinkpad X240 for the first time in a few weeks, and now clicking the touchpad doesn't behave properly. I assume a yum update since the last reboot has changed something, and not in a good way. If I click the edge of the pad I get the correct left/middle/right button kind of behaviour, but if I click in the middle of the pad I get quirky results. I used to get the effect of a left mouse button. Is this a regression, or has something purposefully changed which means I need to alter the xorg configuration files? Regards, Steve

Small Home server - HDD/SDD
by Javier Perez 05 May '14

05 May '14

HI I have a small home server (photos, videos, music) that is reaching full capacity. It is a 750GB, partitioned as a 50G OS and 700G Data + swap The mobo, an Intel DG31PR mobo has 1 PATA and 4 SATA ports (3GB/s). Currently it is running FC20, having been continuously upgraded from almost Fedora 1 I think I got a 2TB WD red HDD for it. My plan is to put the OS on a USB stick ( San Disk Low Profile 64GB SDCZ33-064G-B35 ) and use the whole 2TB for Data. I'd rather not have a PATA SDD, and I do not want to lose one of the SATA ports. Eventually I want to have a system with 4 HDDs, in a Raid 1+0 configuration to prevent data loss. I have some questions. 1. I could use ext4 on all HDDs eventually. But I wonder, can I use ZFS? Specially I would like to have the ability to expand the single HDD into a Raid once I get the second HDD as painlessly as possible. If I use ext4 I guess I will have to backup/create raid system/reformat/restore the data. I have the idea that zfs only needs to be aware that there is a new drive and it will expand the filesystem accordingly. I'd rather not use LVM. I was burned by it once. 2. Is the USB OS ok? I do not feel I am losing that much, after all, it is a system that will be mostly on at home. 3.Should I add hibernation to it? How quickly will it come back from hibernation if someone requests data? Is there anything I should know I am not taking into consideration? Thanks!

Trouble starting webex in F20
by Chris Kottaridis 05 May '14

05 May '14

I have an F19 and an F20 host and when I try to start a webex on the F20 host it doesn't work right. It works fine on the F19 machine. The symptom is that when I start the webex in F20 it sends up a message about wanting to run an applet and I tell it yes it's OK to run the applet. That doesn't come up on the F19 host. On the F19 the icedtea icon pops up for a short time and then I get connected. I don't see the icedtea icon pop up in F20. I did notice that icedtea is at 1.5 in F20, but at 1.4 for F19 and there is some policy control added in 1.5. I set the policy to allow all applets to do everything for the time being in the .config/icedtea-web/security/java.policy file which the icedtea-web man page says is the default policy file. Any ideas on what the difference might be between F19 and F20 would be appreciated or pointer to a different group that could help. Sorry that I only have rather high level usage info, but so far other then this issue with starting a webex everything seems OK that I have tried so far. Thanks Chris Kottaridis

How can I sabotage all networking functionality in a fedora system?
by Someone 04 May '14

04 May '14

I'd like to lobotomize a system through soft means such that it has no way to communicate using any network interfaces. Ideally, in order to reverse this, one would need the root password, and be required to dig through obscure configuration files or execute shell commands. Anyone have thoughts on how one could go about accomplishing this? Thanks.

Disabling users after a period of time
by Renich Bon Ciric 03 May '14

03 May '14

Hello, Fedudes! So this is the situation: I have a server called "El Servidor de la Comunidad" or "The Community Server". This servers provides old fashioned hosting to GNU & Linux and Fedora enthusiasts. Everybody has a shell and their websites are all in /srv/www; owned by them and their group; allowing the world to enter. Basically, everything has 2771 from /srv/www and up; until it reaches the actual document root; where people have what they please. So, since we're not an ISP; just a bunch o' loosers, we do not have an idea of when a user needs to renew the yearly subscription, which is $100. Anyway, I thought of using usermod -e; which is the expire flag. But this will not disable their websites along with the user, since the files are out of their home dir; which we will never support. So, I need good ideas on how to make their websites go away with a "this guy doesn't pay... " message. This is to avoid the possibility of somebody not paying for the service; which covers the bills for the server. So, if anybody has a great idea, this is the time to spit it out. Thanks guys; in advance. p.s. Please, do not pollute this email with rants about how 2771 doesn't provide actual security or why should we put stuff at /home; which we will not do. Focus on clean, simple, ingenious solutions, if you may. -- Renich Bon Ciric <renich(a)woralelandia.com>

simple scan 3.10.2, mustek 1200 CU scanner, and the lights are off but somebody's home

Does anybody have a scanner that identifies as a Mustek 1200 CU (several scanners are this, under the hood), they they can try with the simple scan program? On my Fedora 20 computer, running the Mate desktop, the scanner light goes out shortly after it does the little test dance, and it scans the rest of the page with no lamp on. Yet, if I plug the scanner into a very old Fedora release, or CentOS, it works normally. It shouldn't scan unlit, there's no option for it, and it's not a scanner meant for scanning transparencies. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.13.10-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 14 21:00:56 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

I thought I'd give this a try, and ran it from the menu, since it was listed there, only to get this warning message: UNetbootin must be run as root. Close it, and re-run using either: sudo /usr/bin/unetbootin or: su - -c '/usr/bin/unetbootin' Then it appears to run, if I close the warning. I haven't actually tested, yet, whether it manages to run successfully. But a few things spring to mind: If it really *requires* to be run as root, why is it in a menu where it cannot? We don't have a "run as" (someone else) option like Windows has. Well, at least the mate desktop does not. Why doesn't the menu call it in a way where appropriate permissions are requested as you call it? Other things that need it, such as various system configurators, get you to type in your password, or the root password, before the thing continues on. If it has to be run from the command line, why's there a menu entry? Have I missed something?

FC14 -> FC20 & Evolution
by Charlie McVeigh 02 May '14

02 May '14

Okay, I have to admit I gave been lazy and have fallen far behind the the curve on Fedora releases. I am currently running FC14 and I want to upgrade to FC20. My question for the board is as follows: Since I am so far behind the current release of Fedora will I have any trouble restoring a backup of my Evolution files to FC20 Evolution once I upgrade? I have searched the web for advice on this but I can't find any information that answers this question. I am concerned that I am making too big of a leap in Evolution versions and need to consider an intermediate step of upgrading to FC16 or FC17, restoring my Evolution data and backing it up again to make the leap to FC20. Currently running FC14 & Evolution 2.32.3 Thanks for any advice that can be shared. Charlie

Gnome weather extension as malware?
by Robert Moskowitz 02 May '14

02 May '14

Is anyone running the Gnome weather extension? I have disabled it and my system is running better. Or rather FIrefox is working 'right' again. This extension gets its weather information from the Norway weather service, and you can't change this. I had noticed that many places I was going to in Firefox took a long time to reply. It was as if Firefox was hanging, and other Firefox windows were not responding either. I finally fired up wireshark and I was seeing that requests for things like apis.google.com (or some such) was being routed through a .no site (by reverse lookup on IP address). Perhaps this extension was altering Firefox's proxy settings. I don't have the time or resources to do a serious review, but I am pointing this out and perhaps others may have noticed this as well. Or are suffering and not knowing it. This may be accidental or really actually malicious; just don't know.

host command not seeming to use /etc/hosts file
by Robert Moskowitz 02 May '14

02 May '14

F20 I put an IPv4 entry for a server in my /etc/hosts file. I can 'ping bob', but 'host bob' comes back with: Host bob not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) I have this vague memory from years back about a file that set precedence of hosts file and dns for fqdn lookup. Can't remember it of find it. Of course the problem might simply be the host command is incapable of processing the /etc/hosts file? thanks for any help on this.

Thank again, I remember that I took the control on this machine. but I cannot do it again. Even in the past, I was able to use nomachine, but not anymore. with remmina, the only thing that I can do is a text session I cannot use the nx, rdp,xdmcp session. I can get: Command xqproxy not found on SSH server I am surprised that vncviewer does not work. It works very well when I connect to a machine on the same lan What do you think about this http://stufs4u.wordpress.com/2014/02/25/install-and-configure-vnc-server-in… ?

Back in February, the configuration you were working with had a firewall/router between two systems over which you had not control. Yes, Thank to mind me. In the mean time, the machine has been updated. So the definitive conclusion is that I will never be able the access to this machine because of the firewall? Can I just use the ssh? By the way, I can sak that they opne the service for me. They will probably do it if I aks exactly what I need. In addition, what if I go through a VPN? In the past I set up a VPN, with the right instruction from the university.

sshd containers?
by Tom Horsley 01 May '14

01 May '14

We have some ancient systems we use to build backward compatible software. I was thinking about copying the root/usr stuff to a faster more modern system and using a chrooted sshd to get to each build system (now just a separate root on a single build system). But now I see random information floating around about linux containers and lightweight virtualization. Anyone who understands this stuff know if it might be more appropriate than a "simple" chroot for what I want to do?
