Regarding 'netmap'
by Prashant Upadhyaya
Hi,
I am using Fedora 18 (with Intel 82599 NIC) and want to use 'netmap' there.
Is netmap supported on Fedora 18, what do I need to install it in that
case, so that I can quickly test some userspace programs with netmap.
Regards

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

Thunderbird--find messages
by Doug
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
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
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

help: FC19, FC20 desktop turned black
by Charlie Zender
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!

p.s. Hardware is Dell Precision M6400 laptop with NVidia Quadro
FX 3700M video card.

Logitech C310 webcam
by Paul Cartwright
I am running Fedora 20 amd_64 . I just setup a Logitach HD webcam
C310. Audacity can record from the webcam, so I know it works. Skype
video works, but no audio on the test call.. I've tried a bunch of fixes
from the web, nothing seems to work for skype. Is it me?

changing editor in m-c
by Frank McCormick
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.

Acrobat fonts compared to Evince fonts
by Robert Moskowitz
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
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.
