fedora-arm-intaller in F22?
by Derrik Walker v2.0 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

This is odd ... and I might be missing something stupid, but ... I am trying to build an sd card for my raspberry pi using rather nice *python* program that I've used for YEARS ... It's acting weird ... and something clearly doesn't seem right ... # rpm -q fedora-arm-installer fedora-arm-installer-1.99.2-1.fc22.noarch BUT: # file /usr/bin/fedora-arm-image-installer /usr/bin/fedora-arm-image-installer: *Bourne-Again* shell script, ASCII text executable And a visual inspection of the file confirms it is in fact a shell script and not a python script. WTF? No wonder it's not working the way it should!!!! What happened to the python program??? This one doesn't even seem to support Raspberry Pis, even, after looking at it. Thanks. - Derrik -- -- Derrik Derrik Walker v2.0, RHCE dwalker(a)doomd.net "Those UNIX guys, they think weird!" -- John C. Dvorak

Mouse wheel acceleration problem
by Heinz Diehl 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

Hi, after updating F21->F22, I noticed immediately that the mouse wheel has got some nasty acceleration. Example: I open a large pdf document, and as soon as I begin to scroll, I'm on the last page. After that, scrolling works at normal speed. The same happens when scrolling a website in Firefox: at first wheel action the scroll speed is extremely high, and at the next touch, all is back to normal. This behaviour is driving me insane, and I could't find a solution so far. Is it something with XFCE, Xorg, whatever? I don't know. Is anybody here encountering the same phenomenon, and what to do about it? What I know so far is that it came with the F22 update. Thanks, Heinz

Help Compiling Static Binary
by Richard Heck 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

For some time, I've been using the minidlna program to serve media to TVs, etc, in my house. Unfortunately, recent updates to the ffmpeg suite broke the program: Certainly library calls no longer work. I'm therefore trying to build a static binary against the last version of ffmpeg that worked. I understand that these aren't fedora-supported programs, but I think the question is really more general, namely: how exactly one goes about building a static binary. What I've done is: ./configure --enable-static make But I get linking errors: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljpeg /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lid3tag /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lavformat /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lavutil /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexif /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lFLAC /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -logg /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvorbis /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status The libraries are all there, though, where one would expect to find them. And non-static compilation works fine (with the right version of ffmpeg). Is there something I need to pass to configure to make this work? Alternatively, is it possible to install older ffmpeg libraries, etc, alongside the newer ones and tell minidlna to use those? If so, how? Thanks, Richard PS I'll eventually raise other aspects of this sort of question at SourceForge, but.....

fail2ban on IPv6 and pam_shield
by Suvayu Ali 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi, (quoting from the thread: will denyhosts work with journald (without rsyslogd)?) <http://mid.gmane.org/CAHc5q3eE3vKFqacRQf3rCwny4bF5Q+u93Di8J+K5GGto_VYpmA@ma…> On Sat, Mar 28, 2015 at 11:22:20PM -0400, Rahul Sundaram wrote: > However denyhosts itself is pretty outdated and everyone should switch > over to fail2ban anyway. While reading about the recently found SSH vulnerability, I came across a rather uncontested opinion that fail2ban does not work with IPv6, e.g. see this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/3dnzcq/openssh_keyboardinteractive… Personally, I found the "parse log files to ban" idea a bit shaky to begin with. The same thread mentions pam_shield (also available in the Fedora repos). A bit of reading on it makes it seem more robust than fail2ban. I was wondering if anyone had any experience or opinion on this topic. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Enable/Disable repo with dnf
by Luigi Votta 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Good day I'm trying to enable the fedora-source and updates-source repos, using this command: sudo dnf --enablerepo=fedora-source repolist The result of the command is that the fedora-source seems enabled (it has a * in front of its name) but there is no fedora-source.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ Can anyone say me how to proceed? Thanks Luigi.

Creating kvm instance remotely
by Alex 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi, I have a fedora22 server with libvirt/kvm/qemu installed and would like to use it to create a number of kvm virtual instances remotely, non-interactively, according to my parameters (memory, disk layout, package options, etc). I'm aware of kickstart, but have never used it. Is that the best option, or is something like chef or puppet easier? I'd really like to create a basic 8GB, 1G RAM fedora22 server setup with a minimal install. I've experimented with virt-install, but that apparently doesn't provide the ability to select all of the install config options like language, disk layout, IP address, etc. I'd appreciate any pointers to documents, or tips here, that could help me get started doing this more quickly... Thanks, Alex

Authentication is required to refresh the system sources
by Maurizio Marini 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

This is F22 with Kde-plasma5 After yesterday update, each hour a popup ask me to insert root password: Authentication is required to refresh the system sources Ok, now I would uninstall polkit and updates plugin notifier. My question is: can I freely remove polkit w/out any side effect? I haven't Gnome, so I think so, but I prefer ask you to be sure can/should I remove all of these? # rpm -qa | grep polkit polkit-qt-0.112.0-3.fc22.x86_64 polkit-qt5-1-0.112.0-3.fc22.x86_64 polkit-kde-5.3.2-1.fc22.x86_64 polkit-0.113-4.fc22.x86_64 polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-5.fc22.x86_64 polkit-libs-0.113-4.fc22.x86_64 Many thnx -m

Thunderbird fails to send emails on the first request (per account)
by Frederic Muller 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi! So now that I have solved my screen problem I am having a weird annoying problem with Thunderbird which is failing (time out error, but very fast response) to send email on the first "send click" on every account. After that everything works as long as I don't restart TB. Any idea what this could be and how to look into it? Thank you. Fred
