OT: Stop Firefox from asking to install flash
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
When using firefox I'm repeatedly confronted by a popup asking if I want
to install flash (usually to view some advertising). This must happen
dozens of times a day.
Does anybody know if it is possible to stop that, and if so, how to do it?
TIA,
Mike Wright

Re: BIOS boot partition, 4x3TB disks, and raid, problems with anaconda

gdisk will seamlessly convert an existing DOS partition table made by say
fdisk, parted, gparted, ... to GPT format on the fly without disturbing the
any actual parttions ( you may want to back up first though ... ) .
Additionally, I have not had any problems getting 3-4 year old standard dumb
BIOS to boot from a 3TB drive . Never tried with UEFI though.

2nd IP address on an interface
by Robert Moskowitz
This is on a F20 arm system. It SHOULD follow F20 rules...
first: cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# Added by 'write_udev' for detected device 'eth0'.
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="02:67:15:00:01:78", NAME="eth0"
First IP address is:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
NAME="System eth0"
MACADDR=02:67:15:00:01:63
MTU=1500
DNS1=208.83.67.188
GATEWAY="208.83.67.161"
IPADDR="208.83.67.163"
NETMASK="255.255.255.240"
HOSTNAME="miredo.htt-consult.com"
IPV6INIT="yes"
DNS2=2607:f4b8:3:3:9254:5400:0:188
this works fine. But now for the second IP address I add:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0
DEVICE="eth0:0"
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
NAME="System eth0"
MTU=1500
GATEWAY="208.83.67.161"
IPADDR="208.83.67.164"
NETMASK="255.255.255.240"
But no second IP address is shown:
]# ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 208.83.67.163 netmask 255.255.255.240 broadcast

RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 90 bytes 8076 (7.8 KiB)

So what is missing? Do I need a 70-persistent-net.rules for eth0:0 ??
Or something else?

Chrome not exiting
by SternData
Is it just me? After closing Chrome, ps -ef |grep chrome shows a chrome
process running for each tab I had open. I have unchecked the option to
allow background processes to run after closing chrome.
killall chrome does not kill them.

recovering lost files
by g
greetings,
i have 3 drives i need to recover that have damaged boot tracks. on the
3rd drive are boot track back ups that i need to recover.
within the past year, a poster was needing to recover a file. a replier
suggested a boot iso that recovered files and labeled them with a file
label of file's size, instead of an arbitrary number.
if the poster/replier, or anyone else recognizes iso i am inquiring
about, i greatly appreciate their replying.
i searched archives, did not find post. i have never found a good way to
search archives. is there a page to make searching easier than opening
individual archives?
TIA for any and all help.

Fedora 21 release schedule, etc.
by Jonathan Ryshpan
Up to Fedora 21, releases have occurred at roughly 6 month intervals.
Fedora 21 is scheduled to be released about 11 months after Fedora 20.
Is the intention to schedule future releases at roughly 12 month
intervals, or is the long interval for Fedora 21 only (or whatever)?
Will Fedora 20 be supported till Fedora 22 is released, or for about 13
months after it was released, i.e. about January 2015 (or whatever)?
Sorry if this has already been discussed; I haven't been following the
list carefully.

exfat on SD card getting mounted read-only
by JD
My flash card slot in the laptop is (per lspci):
03:01.2 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro
Host Adapter (rev 21)
I insert into it a SanDisk 16GB Extreme SD card. This card is not marked
as a secure card.
At least, it does not say so on the card.
It gets automounted read only as:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /run/media/jd/3D90-BEAB type fuseblk
(ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)
# umount -f /dev/mmcblk0p1
# /sbin/mount.exfat -o rw /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mmcblk0p1
FUSE exfat 1.0.1
WARN: `/dev/mmcblk0p1' is write-protected, mounting read-only.
So, what is causing it to be mountable read-only, and not get mounted
read/write?
PS: If I insert the card into a USB flash card adapter, I can then mount
it RW.

by JD
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
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.

Fans are working fine. The system concerned is Thinkpad T420i. I am running
Fedora 20 KDE.
