Fedora archive repository corrupted?
by Dave Close 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

F21 doesn't appear to be in the archive, only in the current download site, although I thought F21 was EOL. When I try to access it, I get this response. http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Everything/x…. xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for fedora: Damaged repomd.xml file http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Everything/x…. xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for fedora: Damaged repomd.xml file I've cleaned my own local metadata. -- Dave Close "Technology has the shelf life of a banana." - Scott McNealy

list files in %files section of .spec
by arnaud gaboury 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

I am not sure how I shall lsit my files under the %files section. My doubt is how deep I shall go in lisiting direcrories/subdirectories/files. Below is part of the content of my buildroot ---------------------------------------------------------------- % ls usr/lib64/rstudio-server bin/ resources/ www-symbolmaps/ INSTALL README.md VERSION R/ www/ COPYING NOTICE SOURCE % ls -al usr/lib64/rstudio-server/bin/ total 22M drwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 142 Dec 7 08:12 ./ drwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 144 Dec 7 08:11 ../ drwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 42 Dec 7 08:11 pandoc/ drwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 178 Dec 7 08:11 postback/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 629 Dec 7 08:09 r-ldpath* -rwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 3.3M Dec 7 08:12 rpostback* -rwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 4.6M Dec 7 08:12 rserver* -rwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 2.8M Dec 7 08:12 rserver-pam* -rwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 11M Dec 7 08:12 rsession* -rwxr-xr-x 1 poisonivy poisonivy 3.1K Dec 7 08:09 rstudio-server* -------------------------------------------------------------------- What I would do is this: %files %{_libdir}/%{name}/bin/pandoc/ <--- dir %{_libdir}/%{name}/bin/postback/ <---- dir %{_libdir}/%{name}/bin/r-ldpath <----- file %{_libdir}/%{name}/bin/rpostback <---- file etc with all files Is this correct? pandoc/ and postbac directories only contain files, no subdir. Why not simply: %{_libdir}/%{name}/bin/ Thank you for hints. -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx

Can't switch wireless keyboard layout without plugging wired keyboard
by Alex Dzyoba 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Ok, so this is a really strange problem and I don't even know where to dig, where to submit bug or anything. I had my old Mitsumi USB keyboard that I switched to the shiny new Logitech K270 wireless keyboard. The thing is that after bootup keyboard layout switch is not working. Buttons are working, I double checked with evtest. I tried with Alt+Shift, Right control, Right Alt. BUT as soon as I plugged my old wired keyboard and switch layout with it, my new keyboard starts switching layouts like it always was. I can unplug old keyboard and enjoy layout switching. I can provide any logs, upgrade or downgrade. I really can't understand what's happening and where should I go - to X11 devs, fedora, systemd or Logitech. Hope somebody can point me to right direction. Alex

alias command in a .spec file
by arnaud gaboury 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

To build successfully a rpm package from my .spec file I need alias a command. The alias command is not taken into account in the .spec file. I can of course run it in my shell before the build, but I would like to include the process in .spec file. The link[1] is confusing. Something like: pm alias --MyAlias --define '_MyProg !#:+' ? Or the popt alias setting ? Define a global variable like MyAlias= MyProg ? Thank you for hints [1]https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ro/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM… -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx

Hi, I have been trying to run fedora-review on a simple bugzilla package review request and it appears to be hung: $ fedora-review -b 1118885 INFO: Processing bugzilla bug: 1118885 INFO: Getting .spec and .srpm Urls from : 1118885 INFO: --> SRPM url: https://jamesnz.fedorapeople.org/gsimplecal/gsimplecal-2.1-1.fc23.src.rpm INFO: --> Spec url: https://jamesnz.fedorapeople.org/gsimplecal/gsimplecal.spec INFO: Using review directory: /home/maitra/1118885-gsimplecal INFO: Downloading .spec and .srpm files INFO: Downloading (Source0): https://github.com/dmedvinsky/gsimplecal/archive/v2.1.tar.gz INFO: Running checks and generating report INFO: Results and/or logs in: /home/maitra/1118885-gsimplecal/results INFO: WARNING: Probably non-rawhide buildroot used.

Cups fails with "Filter failed"
by Suvayu Ali 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi, I'm trying to print a test page to my new network printer (HP Laserjet Pro MFP 126nw) but it keeps failing with the message: stopped "Filter failed". systemctl says I should look in /var/log/cups/error_log for more details, but my error_log is empty, and the last modified time is from last year! So I changed LogLevel to debug in cupsd.conf and restarted the service. This prints all sorts of debug messages to the journal, although none to error_log. Strangely enough, the journal still says: [Job 325] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details. I have checked all the "common cures" I found on the Internet, size of /var/spool/cups (<700k for me), device permissions (doesn't apply as I'm printing over the network). I have always printed over the network (to other printers), so I'm not sure what is going wrong this time. Any thoughts what is the problem? Any ideas I could try? TIA, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
