Soundblaster
by Antonio Montagnani
I have two similar PC (old Pentium but workin fine)
In Pc no.1 I upgraded from RH8 to Fedora and it went fine: Soundblaster
is working fine
In Pc no.2 I made a fresh installation but in redhat-sound-config Fedora
doesn't see any card, that was working on Redhat 9 after soundconfig...
Where is the trick?? I assume that my Sounblaster is an old 16...but
fine on a router/firewall.
Tnx
Antonio

Tablet hardware
by Florian Weimer
Is there any tablet-like hardware which is well-supported by Fedora 20
and later? Something with a high-resolution display?
I don't need 3D acceleration beyond what's needed to run a typical
desktop environment, but I'd like to have lots of RAM, a bit of CPU
power (perhaps even a current Core i7) and an SSD with decent read
speed.

f21 workstation(gnome) ping fedora servers every 300seconds
by Branko Grubic
This is about Fedora 21 which is still not released!!! Please read
carefully. And it is only default on Workstation image (that is what I
know)
There is a new feature introduced in Gnome and NetworkManager which
allows 'Captive Portal'[1] services to work. This may be useful feature
for some users (that is why it is implemented), but most users won't use
it, and it pings fedora servers every '300seconds', it is enabled by
NetworkManager and 'NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora' <<
(package/config file) which is default installed in Workstation image
only (currently, unless someone explicitly pull it in for other live
images), 'gnome-shell' package only depends on it.
Because I'm not a security expert, I don't want to say this is security
issue, but privacy issue to some level (probably not critical), as I
understand it, no more information than request to get a file is being
sent (so only your 'IP' is exposed)), It currently uses HTTP to
communicate with fedora servers, but it is planed to use HTTPS [2],
without that you cannot verify who serves that file? (n00b here).
At the moment users aren't aware of this feature, and most users
probably never will find it working in the background, but I think it
shouldn't be enable by default silently, so I filed a 'fesco' ticket for
it [3] (PLEASE DON'T SPAM ON FESCO TICKET!, keep discussion here as much
as it is possible)
Please don't turn this thread to something which it shouldn't be. Be
constructive.
I don't want to insult anyone, just want this to be discussed, and
features like this to be discussed/announced with/to users and
developers in future.
(English is not my native language, I learned some basics from
reading/writing/listening, so, sorry for mistakes)

help writing a service file for dropbox
by SternData
There's an init.d file for Dropbox for non-GUI servers. I'd like to use
drobpox as a way to understand systemd a little better.
In the init.d file, it pulls in a list of users from /etc/sysconfig.
I'm trying to figure out how to do something like that with a service file.
My dropbox.service file is:
cat /etc/systemd/system/dropbox.service
---------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=Dropbox as a system service
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/sdstern/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
User=sdstern
# 'LANG' might be unnecessary, since systemd already sets the
# locale for all services according to "/etc/locale.conf".
# Run `systemctl show-environment` to make sure.
Environment=LANG=en_US.utf-8
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
---------------------------------------
Ideally, I'd look at a list of users entered in a file in /etc/sysconfig
and loop through ExecStart and User for each user, substituting the user
name for "sdstern" on each.
So, pointers on how to do things like this in a .service file?

Google Account in GNOME
by Dave Cross
Soon after I installed Fedora 20 I used the online accounts config
panel to set up my Google account. This worked well for several
months.
A few weeks ago, I changed my Google account password. Ever since
then, GNOME keeps prompting me for my Google account password - but it
won't accept either the new password or the old one. I just have to
cancel the dialog box.
I've tried removing the account and adding it back, but it still won't
accept the password. Every time I wake the system from sleep, I get a
dialog box asking for my Google account password which I have to
cancel.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Dave...

External drive is being mounted as read-only
by Sudhir Khanger
Hello,
Fedora 20 KDE Thinkpad T420i laptop has started mounting Transcend StoreJet
25M3 as read-only. I tried remounting with rw but it is still mounted as ro.
The system is fully updated. I have recently scrub-ed the external drive to
prepare for backup.
[donnie@fedora ~]$ mount | grep /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/donnie/storejet25m3 type ext4
(ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)
[donnie@fedora ~]$ ls -l /run/media/donnie/storejet25m3

BIOS boot partition, 4x3TB disks, and raid, problems with anaconda
by Lars E. Pettersson
Hi!
I tried to set up a system using four 3TB disks as a raid6. The disks
are new, no old partitions laying around. I used a USB stick as install
media (Fedora 20 x86_64 Gnome Live).
I chose manual partitioning to get everything as I wanted. When this was
ready I got the error message that I also needed a BIOS boot partition
(I gather that this due to being rather large disks). I tried to create
one of those, but it seemed to only be created on one of the discs in
the raid array, I wanted it created on all disks, just as the raid
partitions. This to be able to boot from any of the disks in the array
in case of a failure. As it is now, if the main disk dies, I can not
start the system at all.
Actually I ended up having three BIOS boot partition on the first disk,
being 2, 1, and 1 MB large. Which is quite annoying. But that's another
problem...
Before submitting a bug report/RFE on this. Is there anyone out there
that have done this, from anaconda? I.e. creating raid partitions and
BIOS boot partitions on ALL disks? If so, how did you do it?

Is there a way to prevent this messages ?

Problems with screen to serial usb on F17
by Robert Moskowitz
I have an old F17 Asus Eee700 and trying to hook it to a USB TTL UART as
a serial console to some armv7 systems using screen:
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
I am getting garbage characters. Not all the time, but particularly at
the beginning. I don't see this on either of my two F20 systems:
Lenovo x120e and Asus Eee900.
I can't easily upgrade this Eee700 and I would be happy just using F17
screen. But is this likely to be OS or hardware?
