by JD 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

kernel message: [ 2327.177686] perf interrupt took too long (2526 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000 So, how can I tell which device the kernel is taking about?

High CPU usage, load average and system temperature
by Sudhir Khanger 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hello, My system temperature seems to be very high these days along with CPU usage and load average. Chrome, Eclipse, etc. seems to be misbehaving but I am not able to pin point the problem. Chrome usage skyrockets whenever I am browsing multimedia rich websites even like Google+ (those gifs). VLC seems also to cause a lot of these problems. I am posting a bunch of screenshots of top. If any of you could help me figure out the problem that would be awesome. http://imgur.com/bT29xZ7,BZAnXSd,RQoq3Nl,30tlOBE,fn7ubo4,yvqLFCd,i8F1XOu,GR… Fans are working fine. The system concerned is Thinkpad T420i. I am running Fedora 20 KDE. -- Sudhir Khanger, http://sudhirkhanger.com http://github.com/donniezazen

Editor for the gnome3 dash board contents (F20)?
by Joachim Backes 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, I think this item has been discussed several times, but I did not find any answer: anybody knows how to add entries to the gnome3 activities dash board (screen, left side)? In gnome2 it's possible by alacarte, but this won't do what I need in gnome3: Add an own shell script to the menu entries. All comments are welcome Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel-3.15.10-200.fc20.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

rails console: Could not find 'rack'
by Hiisi 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi, list! The system is F20. I upgraded it from F17 through F18 a few days ago. Everything works perfect except that neither rails console nor rails server won't start. Typing rails console in the terminal leads to the following result: /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/dependency.rb:298:in `to_specs': Could not find 'rack' (~> 1.2.1) - did find: [rack-1.5.2,rack-1.4.0] (Gem::LoadError) from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1268:in `block in activate_dependencies' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1257:in `each' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1257:in `activate_dependencies' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1239:in `activate' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1271:in `block in activate_dependencies' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1257:in `each' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1257:in `activate_dependencies' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/specification.rb:1239:in `activate' from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_gem.rb:48:in `gem' from /usr/local/bin/rails:22:in `<main>' I've tried every possible solution I saw on the web but with no luck. Any thoughts? P.S. gem list reveals rack available: rack (1.5.2, 1.4.0) rack-accept (0.4.3) rack-cache (1.2) rack-mount (0.8.3, 0.7.1) rack-protection (1.5.0) rack-restful_submit (1.2.2) rack-ssl (1.3.2) rack-test (0.6.2, 0.6.0 TIA -- Hiisi.

ext4 error messages
by JD 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

I have an external esata HD (the WD20NPVX) connected to the laptop via an esata cable to the esata port of the laptop. I am getting ext4 errors for that device (/dev/sdb3 which is only mounted partition on that drive), and even getting ext4 errors on /dev/sda3 which is the root partition. Both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are brand new (less than a couple of months old). The error file is at https://www.sendspace.com/file/ym076o Thanx, JD

systemd never starts ntpd.service even though it is enabled
by Sam Varshavchik 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

For some reason, ntpd.service never starts when one of my laptop boots. systemctl status ntpd.service says: ntpd.service - Network Time Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) It's enabled. It should start, or at least attempt to start and fail for some reason. It doesn't even start. After the laptop finishes booting, I can manually execute systemctl start ntpd.service, and ntpd comes up just fine. journalctl /usr/sbin/ntpd doesn't report anything, except when I manually start ntpd after boot. ntpd.service is unmodified, and identical to my other laptop, and all my servers, all of which have no issues starting ntpd during boot. Stumped on this one.

Blueman on F20?
by Konstantin Svist 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

I'm running F20 XFCE and the bluetooth app leaves a lot to be desired. I've been using Blueman before upgrading and it was great. Currently I'm using the KDE systray app (bluedevil?) There's no obvious way to install blueman; yum just says it was deprecated by bluez -- which is not true (it only is in the sense that the older blueman version is not compatible with bluez5) Does anyone know how to get blueman running (hopefully without having to compile it)? Thanks

Any good guides for setting up a wireless dhcpd server?
by davidschaak1＠mobilicity.blackberry.com 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Last time I setup dhcpd was with FC5. I know that has changed since then. What I am thinking is using mac addressing for assigning IP. This is not used as a gateway so masq, forward, and dns are not an issue. Tia Dave Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone powered by Mobilicity

mate goof?
by Beartooth 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

On my #2 machine (which has been running Gnome3 for a few days; I can do it now, but still don't like it much), I looked around, but couldn't seem to lay my cursor on the proper way to install mate. So I tried "yum install mate," and got nothing. Then I tried "yum install mate*" and got bushels whizzing by. So many and so fast that I begin to suspect I shouldn't've.... Is there something else I should now? "yum install *mate" or "yum install mate-*" or the like? Reboot?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
