tar exclude cache
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I am trying to exclude the .cache directories when I tar a home directory
by using:
tar -cjf /mnt/backup/home.tbz2 --exclude-caches-all /home/pdupre
but it does not work.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank for your help.

Problem with bash: alias command
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
Running F23, and my shell is /bin/bash.
My problem: suppose you define an alias:
alias x='echo PAR=$1'
Now call the alias by:
x 1
Output: PAR= 1
My question: why do I get the blank before the "1"?
All comments are welcome.
Kind regards
Joachim Backes

smartd errors
by Paolo Galtieri
Folks,
recently I have started seeing these messages in /var/log/messages
Oct 27 10:26:13 jackstraw smartd[1177]: Device: /dev/sde [SAT], 16
Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Oct 27 10:26:13 jackstraw smartd[1177]: Device: /dev/sde [SAT], 16
Offline uncorrectable sectors
which are mounted as follows
/dev/sde1 on /media/NSM/NSM-SENSOR-1 type ext4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/sde2 on /media/NSM/NSM-SENSOR-2 type ext4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
I have unmounted the filesystems and run fsck on them and fsck reports
no errors.
[pgaltieri@jackstraw ~]$ sudo fsck /dev/sde2
fsck from util-linux 2.26.2
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
NSM-SENSOR-2: clean, 11/45498368 files, 2905980/181964288 blocks
[pgaltieri@jackstraw ~]$ sudo fsck /dev/sde1

It only reports errors on this drive.
Should I be concerned about what smartd is saying? How do I, if
possible, correct this?

Installing F22: MUST format root?!?!?!
by Richard Shaw
I bought a 32gb class 10 sd card to run Fedora on a laptop where I don't
want to touch the hard drive.
After a bit of reading it seems it's a good idea to make sure the partition
and filesystem are setup to get the most out of it (mainly around block
side and erase boundaries)
So I booted to Fedora 22 Workstation and before running the installer setup
a /boot and "/" partition and formatted them. Now when I'm trying to
configure disks it's telling me that "You must create a new file system on
the root device."
WTF?!? So what if I want to format the partition with specific options?
Specifically stride and stripe-width...
Thanks,
Richard

In Firefox 41.0.1 / Fedora 23 Mate-Compiz, mouse pointer doesn't change to magnifying glass
by Fernando Cassia
Hi there,
Can anyone else confirm this bug?. In Fedora 23 Mate-Compiz, when using FF
41.0.1 to view a JPEG file that has been scaled down automatically, when
positioning the mouse cursor over the image, on the Windows platform the
mouse cursor changes to a magnifying glass to show the user that the image
can be zoomed in.
In this linux, it doesn't.
Can someone else confirm so I can file a bug report if not already reported?
Thanks!

fedpkg clone -a kernel
cd kernel
git checkout -b f23 --track origin/f23
fedpkg local
and this builds a 4.2.8-300 release, however I need to build a
4.2.7-300 release which fedora is currently running on.
how would I alter my command to achieve this.
thanks for help,

problems with kde
by Walter Cazzola
Dear Fedora Experts,
I'm a proud user of Fedora (currently 20) Linux on a Dell Laptop since 6 years.
A couple of days ago without any real reason something broke up (the
only thing happened is a write error but after that it worked fine) and I
get serious problems in login into my KDE account. It takes half an hour
and after that I'm in a crippled system. Each command I type gives as a
reply "no more processes." Also menus and windows are quite unresponsive.
Today after many desperate attempts I logged as root on KDE (I know this
is something to avoid) but with the root account everything is working
fine. I got into in few seconds and any command works as expected.
So I suspect that something happened to my user, so I removed the .local
configuration without any luck. I would also send you some logs but I
can't imagine what could be useful. Anyone can help me to solve this
issue?
Thank you in advance
Walter

The 8600 series cards are classified like the 9600 series and 9300
series cards , as "Legacy" and *require* the 340-xxx series drivers.
I am using the 340.96 with a 9300 chipset on my main box, and with a
9600 chipset on the mythbox. Both running well on F22. Using the wrong
driver might the problem, not F23.
