Automatic Bug Reporting Tool
by Michael Schwendt
As a plea to users of Fedora:
If you get notifications from ABRT, the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool,
please spend a bit of time on submitting the _complete_ report instead
of only enabling shortened reports. Sometimes the shortened reports
may be interesting, but in enough cases they are useless.
Also please don't forget entering a minimum of details, such as whether
the problem/crash is reproducible and how often it can be reproduced,
and how to reproduce it.

which plugin to listen at some radio with firefox?
by François Patte
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Bonjour,
I have a problme to listen at some radio with firefox:
http://www.francemusique.fr/player
I can't get it working whatever I have tried: I disabled all
extensions, I opened a test account, I change the flash-plugin to the
last version given by adobe...
I did not succeed....
How can I know what plugin is missing in my config?
My installed plugins:
Codec vidéo openH264
IcedTeaWeb-plugin
Shockwave-Flash
NPAPI Plugins Wrapper
BTW: in fc21 repo there is no x86_64 version of flash-plugin, only
i386 version which does not fully work with the wrapper....
Thank you

external screen no longer support native resolution
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
I just upgraded to F22 and my external monitor (a Koios 24" 1920x1200)
no longer works in its native resolution. I can only get 1280 x 768 to
display.
Everything was working well before. My video chip is the Intel HD
Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) (the laptop is a X1 Carbon 3rd generation).
GNOME display settings does offer the native resolution but it just
doesn't work (I get an screen switched off).
How would you troubleshooting this?
Thank you.

SE alert
by JD
The sealert below does not tell me exactly which dir
that the shell tried to access.
I have run the suggested commands (below)
but they did not do any good.
The alerts keep popping up.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/sh from read access on the directory .
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
If you believe that sh should be allowed read access on the directory by
default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep sa1 /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Fedora 21 QEMM wont start after update
by Robert Moskowitz
Been some time since I did a yum update. Lots of reasons why it took me
so long.
Anyway, I did work through all the updates, then went to start my qemm
virt system and it is failing, asking me repeatedly for my password.
Details are:
Unable to connect to libvirt.
authentication failed: access denied by policy
Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 963,
in _do_open
self._backend.open(self._do_creds_password)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/connection.py", line 159, in open
open_flags)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 105, in
openAuth
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: authentication failed: access denied by policy
Do I need to reboot first or is this something more than a reboot?

iptables and ruleset
by JD
Running:
systemctl enable iptables.service
systemctl start iptables.service
sets totally permissive rules, and does not incorporate
any of the rules in the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables
So, I have to manually run
iptables-restore < /etc/sysconfig/iptables
So, where should I place the ruleset file /etc/sysconfig/iptables
so that when iptables.service is started, the ruleset I want is what
is used?

Book Recommendation for Fedora users?
by James Crace
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?

IPCop site down?
by Ranbir
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
