digikam problem
by George Avrunin 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

I wrote to the digikam list about this a few days ago, but haven't gotten any response, so I thought I'd check here before filing a bug. On a fully updated Fedora 20, I've had the following problems importing images from a Canon EOS SL1 since the update from digikam 3.5 to 4.0 (which I got July 26): - The digikam camera window doesn't show thumbnails or previews, just icons for RAW and/or JPEG. I can't seem to preview the images to select the ones to import. Digikam does recognize the camera, it just won't show thumbnails or previews of the images on the camera. - Digikam gets the date from JPEGs to do renaming as I have specified, but it seems to think that all of the RAW files were created on 1969-12-31 at 19:00:00, at least from the filenames it's generating. Once the files are imported (I just import all of them without doing any selection), the "File properties" shows the correct date. (Well, up to time zone issues: my camera is set to Eastern Daylight Time, and Digikam seems to be interpreting that as Universal Time and then correcting for my computer's time zone, so things are off by 4 hours--but this was true before the update, too. Is this a configuration problem on my part?) - I have digikam set to create a new sub-album with the date; so I have <root album>/<year>/<month>/<date>. I'm importing into the <month>. JPEGs are correctly put in a sub-album with the date, but RAW images are put into the <month>, not into a sub-album. I assume this is connected to not being able to correctly get the date for the RAW images during the import. All of this (except for the time zone stuff) worked fine with 3.5. I tried downloading the bodhi builds of digikam 4.2 for Fedora 20, but I'm seeing the same issues as with 4.0. I looked through the digikam mailing list archives and saw that some other people had problems with previewing images from the camera with Canon cameras on 4.0, but the only response was a claim that digikam was using gphoto2, with no details or follow-up. (I can download the images from the gphoto2 command line, too. The problem is not seeing thumbnails in the camera window to decide what to download, or getting the dates on RAW images.) Shotwell seems to be able to generate thumbnails of images in the camera before downloading and gets the correct dates on RAW images. I only started using digikam in early July, so it may well be that this is pilot error, but I haven't been able to figure it out from the documentation. I don't think I changed any digikam settings with the upgrade from 3.5 to 4.0, and nothing about the camera changed at that time. Thanks for any help. If nobody's got a solution, should I file it on the Fedora bugzilla, or upstream? George

HP officejet 7500A loose wireless connection with f19 & f20
by Vinny Onelli 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hello, I have used this printer for about a year with f19 early release, no problem, but I am not sure if I ever used with F20, then for while now I can't no longer print. A couple time I was able to print after going through the printer setup and re-installing the printer on computer, but only last for one or two print. The desktop is a Dell dimension 8300 dual boot F19 and Win XP, Laptop HP Envy dv7 with F20 they both doing the same. while I can't print with F20 I can print with Win XP. I will appreciate very much some help, HP support don't even talk to me after mention Linux.

NVIDIA X Server Settings thinks I'm not running NVIDIA driver, but I do.
by Oliver Ruebenacker 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hello, I installed the nvidia driver via yum from RPMFusion and lsmod confirms that nvidia is loaded and nouveau is not. But when I run the NVIDIA X Server Settings (KDE on F20), it claims I do not appear to be running the NVIDIA driver and should configure it by running nvidia-xconfig as root and restarting the X server. nvidia-xconfig creates an new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (see below). Previously, no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file existed. Then, when I try to re-start X, it will not start saying no screens found, until I remove the xorg.conf file and then everything is back to normal, including NVIDIA X Server Settings saying that I do not appear to be running the NVIDIA driver. Did some googling and followed some advice to set the BusID in xorg.conf, but did not help. Any ideas? Thanks!

Fedora still doesn't sign its repo data?
by Joonas Lehtonen 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, over five years ago vulnerabilities in Fedora's (and others) package managers [1] have been presented at USENIX. And even though yum supports repo_gpgcheck since 2008 [2] Fedora still does not make use of it to protect the repo metadata. Are there specific reasons why Fedora still does not sign its repo metadata to prevent metadata manipulation attacks (i.e. "hiding" updates)? The LWN article from 2009 somehow hinted that it was about to be enabled in Fedora 11? [1] I filed a bug against fedora-release (covering the missing repo_gpgcheck in fedora.repo) [3]. Which component would I file the missing repomd.xml.asc (on fedora's repositories) against? thanks, Joonas [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/327847/ [2] http://lists.baseurl.org/pipermail/yum-devel/2008-August/005350.html [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130491 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJT79kqAAoJEG58zmw5nc+vZuMQAMuTNEiZjTvXo6tuefihpNOc fJgEC2dWPQIMA8U88qVLFoIYASYxhj4zFsl50zYZRk7LK7gPp/j6RDOOhSBpeDU2 FZ1hPcln2S3KFkspqyv9I3is+DeHK6+KHMy8YOvHhtpQfO1wCnGUGsrqamQPDkqf onAbSVBOx5WHf5qKnO5hJbmJMsJduhHb4KCCw1+w4Cdi6tyTbQ3bPRzCFSL9/Rb4 cPNIrpzyU/JYi8hn1zM5locjxG19tmkeP+NCBvF0YAwUo7YVksbZBm7wD+xDhwK6 fMLQ7VOvSMsH6PywexuqnwUMnaFgzsGQXsNOrKLDluJEIECN4L/KETfFXROFSNNR nJtr9NBJqowB64SY4LF+qjuOkE+cGgTRSBmMqXK2yyr6B9j52Eovak/N2LnHlK3J mJi/6yEvDTv2/APWnCeAW9PUsyuI5hobOulmrthQdYO42O9TgCG4/+5LC2HP/GU7 O6y23xrZs3Fz6EkTdy81KWNh8wtOa6xjSedlWiRZGgiAiDAGhV/HoK1Ttju+bmI/ seRcY+Im7RC495ZmHQmgJCcm0XvDQ7ZtMrMs3dH3qRv8Ztez4XO7+iwtL33JxIa/ AqD2vdhdB0CZ5y2YVfgDCwjjVCVv0NTPy39PMc+WhqP3x1YuTv7AjclnXrMEqj1f XjI3jPsMikvGq0mFc+O+ =ZsKM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

OT: bash help
by Mike Wright 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple script that if provided an argument, uses that, or if nothing is provided, uses a predefined string. if [ -n $# ] then WORDS=$1 else WORDS="these are some words" fi echo $WORDS; The second case is always comes back "". But if I write WORDS='these are some words' echo $WORDS I get the assigned string. Why doesn't the assignment work when inside an if/then? How do I make it work? What's the difference between the case where the assignment is inside the if/then and outside the if/then? TIA, Mike Wright

Where can I find SELinux knowledge
by Robert Moskowitz 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

The setup is armv7 (Allwinner A20 based Cubieboard) F19 remix kernel Redsleeve EL6 SELinux is coming up disabled, and I can't figure out what is needed. And no help on the Redsleeve list, as its heritage is armv5 and the kernels for them do not seem to have SElinux support, so no experience with enabling it. Of course there is the 'age' mismatch of F19 kernel and EL6, don't know if that is an issue. Centos7 for arm is aways off, so for now production is RSEL. And F21 is also aways off and F20 is a remix; I AM working with it for some cases.

Mesa-10.2.5 was released - while Fedora still ships 10.1 :/
by Clemens Eisserer 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hi, First of all thanks for Fedora, I am a (most-time) happy user since Fedora 2 and it is really great to see how all the improvements accumulated over time. Especially with the accelerated release cycle of Mesa, it would be great if Fedora could keep up in the same manner as it does with the kernel. Mesa 10.1 is effectively dead with 10.2 beeing considered "old, stable and boring" now. So the descision is not between shipping stable/proven versions vs. bleeding edge, but rather shipping outdated stuff vs maintained stable versions ;) Thanks & best regards, Clemens

ibus-daemon & gnome-shell: high cpu usage...
by Georgios Petasis 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hi all, Gnome (for some reason) takes all my cpu power under fedora 20 64 bit. And if I kill ibus-deamon, the session still runs. But I cannot kill gnome-shell. When ever I start a computation, gnome-shell kicks in, and takes *all* cpu. For example, when running (a single threaded) Tcl/Tk program: Tasks: 291 total, 3 running, 288 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 52.0 us, 1.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 45.9 id, 0.1 wa, 0.1 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem: 32832636 total, 31349172 used, 1483464 free, 573716 buffers KiB Swap: 61439996 total, 4036 used, 61435960 free, 23766116 cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 11321 petasis 20 0 1974296 401952 69288 S 306.9 1.2 477:55.92 gnome-shell 13662 petasis 20 0 347500 120636 13388 R 93.4 0.4 9:07.78 wish 1551 petasis 20 0 310492 108392 27968 R 22.6 0.3 63:30.66 Xvnc My application shows a load of 93% (one of the cores), Xvnc 23% (the wish application updates some dialogs), but gnome-shell eats 300% of my cpu (3 whole cores?). Is this normal? I think it is very high... Regards, George
