Book Recommendation for Fedora users?
by James Crace 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi, I've been using Fedora for several months now, and really like it. I would really like to know more about the inner workings and eventually get RH certified, so I'm wondering what you long-time users or RH certified folks would recommend book-wise. I've seen Mark Sobell's book on Amazon but it's a year old and I'm worried it would already be outdated. Besides the official Fedora Documentation, how can I learn more about the inner workings of my system? Many times when something goes wrong I have to appeal to others for advice, and while there is nothing wrong with that, I would like to know enough about my system to be able to troubleshoot and diagnose just about anything. I would also like to help others, and someday contribute back to the project. Right now I feel too ignorant to submit bug reports or try to contribute anything. Besides daily use and experimenting, is there anything you'd recommend to move from casual user to power-user/contributor? -- jmz(a)sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org

IPCop site down?
by Ranbir 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi Everyone, I know this is off topic, but I don't know where else to ask: is anyone else having problems accessing the ipcop website? The other day the site returned an error. Today I see this: "The sourceforge.net website is temporarily in static offline mode. Only a very limited set of project pages are available until the main website returns to service." Posting to the list doesn't work either: my messages just get bounced back. Does anyone know what's up? Is IPCop dead? Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar R.S. Sandhu

Puppet in Fedora 22 working?
by Trever L. Adams 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Hello everyone, I was away from my installation for 6 months. I came back and upgraded to Fedora 22 (as Fedora 20/21 was giving me problems with FreeSWITCH and other things). After doing so I find that Puppet does not work. It doesn't seem to find any of the hiera (yaml and json backends) defined nodes get their catalog (they get one, but without the classes they should have) at all. Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions on how to go about remedying the problem? Thank you, Trever

Printing CD labels
by JD 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

I have downloaded libmediaart and libmediaart-devel. However, I have no idea how to edit and print a CD/DVD label. On windows, it is made easy by Avery's apps. Are there such apps for linux in general and/or specifically for Fedora?

Fedora 22 KDE spin, no wireless
by CS DBA 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

All; I did a new install of Fedora 22 - the KDE spin on a macbook pro, Fedora 21 worked well on this laptop but with Fedora 22 I cannot get the wireless enabled, when I click the network icon in the system tray I only see the wired connection and it does not show the check box to enable/disable wireless... I installed kmod-wl but when I do a 'modprobe wl' I get this: FATAL: Module wl not found Thoughts? Thanks in advance

rebooting with new kernel
by Paul Cartwright 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

I did a dnf update, got the new kernel, uname -a Linux pauls-server 4.0.7-300.fc22.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 29 22:15:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux rebooted and... a blinking cursor on a black background.. this seems to happen everytime now when I get a new kernel in F22, x86_64. So I boot a boot-repair CD, redo the grub, and reboot with a grub menu. my F22 is /dev/sdb6, and when I do a grub2-mkconfig it finds all of my OSes on sda & sdb. once I manually do the grub2-mkconfig & grub2-install /dev/sda I can reboot & grub shows all of my OSes. But if I just do the dnf update, get a new kernel, and reboot.. blank. Not sure what the update does, but it obviously takes out my grub install, not sure what it replaces it with. what should I look for, or what am I doing wrong? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587

which images is "docker pull" supposed to pull by default?
by Robert P. J. Day 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

more nitpicky pedantry regarding docker on fedora 22 ... if i read the man page for "docker-pull" on my f22 system, i see: "This command pulls down an image or a repository from a registry. If there is more than one image for a repository (e.g., fedora) then all images for that repository name are pulled down including any tags." note the reference to "all images" being pulled down. and the example given seems to reinforce the notion that, if you specify simply a repository, you'll get all corresponding tagged images: docker pull fedora Pulling repository fedora ad57ef8d78d7: Download complete 105182bb5e8b: Download complete 511136ea3c5a: Download complete 73bd853d2ea5: Download complete Status: Downloaded newer image for fedora docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE fedora rawhide ad57ef8d78d7 5 days ago 359.3 MB fedora 20 105182bb5e8b 5 days ago 372.7 MB fedora heisenbug 105182bb5e8b 5 days ago 372.7 MB fedora latest 105182bb5e8b 5 days ago 372.7 MB *however*, the explanation of the "-a" option seems to disagree with that: OPTIONS -a, --all-tags=true|false Download all tagged images in the repository. The default is false. which suggests that, by default, you *don't* get all tagged images unless you specify "-a". and a quick test shows that, if i run "docker pull fedora", all i appear to get is: # docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE docker.io/fedora latest ded7cd95e059 7 weeks ago 186.5 MB # so ... what am i misreading here? the man page seems just a touch confusing and contradictory. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
