shutdown doesn't shut down
by Ralf Corsepius 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

Hi, on several machines, I am observing that # shutdown now doesn't shutdown and halt/power off. Instead, these machines shutdown and immediately reboot. Any ideas? Ralf PS.: I am only observing this issue on UEFI machines. My BIOS-machines all shutdown/halt/poweroff.

Fedora Elsewhere
by Beartooth 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

Anyone not already aware of it may wish to know that there is a long and careful discussion of Fedora's password requirements on a CentOS list (which I read with Pan from Gmane: gmane.linux.centos.general). -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Brother HL-L2340DW -
by Bob Goodwin 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

Has anyone installed an HL-L2340DW printer? If so I am curious to know what driver you used? I prefer installing via CUPS but find no driver in the HL2300 series. Brother apparently has none that I can find. It prints from our wireless LAN using the CUPS driver for the HL-2170W but I am not certain that is the best choice. This is a Fedora-21/64bit Linux/XFCE updated computer if that matters. Any suggestions appreciated, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 Fedora-21/64bit Linux/XFCE

Installing gnuchess/xboard messes up menu fonts in xmms
by Jim Lewis 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

Note: This is an extremely low priority item. I first noticed this all the way back in Fedora 14. Here are the steps to reproduce: - Install xmms and its related files. - Run it and open the pulldown menu. The fonts will look fine. Close xmms. - Now install gnuchess/xboard (yum -y install gnuchess xboard) - (This step may be optional) Play a game. - Run xmms again and open the menu. The fonts are now little boxes. Is this a bug or have I been doing something wrong all this time? I realize that xmms is from Fusion, is that the problem? I can fix it by running "yum -y install xorg-x11-font*". I really did not expect this issue to still be around after all this time. Note that I tried to find some info on the net about this first but didn't come across anything relevant. Jim Lewis

router anomoly
by Geoffrey Leach 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

I've just replaced a Netgear WNR1000v3 router with an AC1900 R7000. The install went without a hitch, and wireless communication with another system (running Fedora 21) works fine. However, I can't connect with a system running Fedora 19: ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer The F19 system connects to the internet (through said router) works fine, as does a ping between the two systems. hosts.allow and hosts.deny are both empty. Any suggestions as to what I've missed? Thanks.

Gnome-3 workspace moves
by Greg Woods 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

In F20, I used to be able to right click the title bar of a window, and select which workspace I wanted to move it to. Now in F21 all I get is the option to "Move to Workspace Down" or "Move to Workspace Up". This is a big loss when I have 12 named workspaces. Is there any way to recover the option to move a window to any existing workspace? Thanks, --Greg

rpm -V - verifying packages
by Robin Laing 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hello, I don't know if I found a bug with upgrade or if there is a strange issue with rpm. I have upgraded from F19 to F21 on a machine. The upgrade worked quite well. Due to the nVidia driver changes, I installed the nVidia driver from nVidia instead of the normal rpmfusion as the 340 driver was not available. Today I decided to give the latest Nouveau driver a try but knowing that the nVidia install can and will change files, I decided to check my machine with rpm -Va > rpm_verify.txt To my shock, many files came back with S.?...... for the verification response. When I say many, the line count is 705 files. I did rebuild the database after the upgrade but there seems to be some issue. I have been going through the packages that I can and doing yum reinstall to clean them up. The machine is running well so I am not sure where the issue is coming from. Should I be submitting a bug report? Under what package? I will only be going back to the nVidia driver if I cannot get Steam working. Robin

error creating volume in qemu gluster storage pool
by Glenn Holmer 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

I want to create a kvm/qemu VM on gluster (two servers, one brick on each, replicated). Fedora 21, gluster 3.5.3. I can create a gluster storage pool from a third machine (also Fedora 21) using virt-manager. But when creating a new volume in the pool during the creation of a VM, I get "Libvirt version does not support storage cloning". What does it mean? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."
