F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!
by William Mattison 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Good afternoon, Most messages received from this fedora list are labelled junk by Thunderbird. This is even though I whitelisted "From" = "users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Actually, I have this problem both in my Fedora-21 and my windows-7 systems. Any ideas? Surely messages from this list are not junk! thanks, Bill.

how to set 24-hour clock (military time) on Fedora 20 in KDE?
by Kenneth Wolcott 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Hi; I can't seem to find any way to change the Fedora 20 KDE time and date settings so that the time is displayed in the 24-hour format like military time. Is this not possible? Thanks, Ken Wolcott

Kernel 4.1.4 breaks external display
by CS DBA 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi All; I'm running Fedora 21 on a Dell M3800 laptop, been working great. Updating to the latest kernel however breaks my external display i.e. I plug the external monitor in and nothing happens, previous to the update when I plug in the external monitor the system would auto configure the second screen and I could use both monitors. I've googled the issue but not found anything. Thoughts? Thanks in advance

multipathd rienstated message filling up log
by Shawn Bakhtiar 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Good morning, /var/log/messages is being filled with following message "multipathd: 104:0: reinstated". I though it might be a bad controller card, or something wrong with the hardware as suggested in IRC, but I have installed FC 22 64bit on two separate machines (same configuration) and I’m getting these same message. The messages don’t seem to be effecting performance or have any effect on data, and short of being annoying, I want to make sure there is not some more serious/heinous issue going on that I need to be aware of.

Moving Fedora 22 to RAID 0 - Trouble with initramfs
by Samuel Rakitničan 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

I have moved / partition to another partition formed in RAID 0 consisting of two SSDs. I have updated fstab with new partition UUID, reinstalled GRUB2 and rebuild initramfs using dracut -f. Now computer boots fine from RAID partition but hangs on when initramfs needs to boot kernel from / partition found on RAID, because it can't find partition with UUID that I've put in fstab. Now from what I have understood when it drops me to dracut prompt in initramfs boot process I indeed can't find the RAID assembled BUT I can assemble it manually by using "mdadm -I /dev/sda" and "mdadm -I /dev/sdb". If I boot from old hard drive the RAID is assembled normally in kernel on boot time: $ journalctl -b | grep "kernel: md" Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sdb> Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sda> Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sdb> Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: bind<sda> Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: raid0 personality registered for level 0 Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md/raid0:md126: md_size is 500129792 sectors. Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: RAID0 configuration for md126 - 1 zone Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: zone0=[sda/sdb] Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: zone-offset= 0KB, device-offset= 0KB, Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md126: detected capacity change from 0 to 256066453504 Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md126: p1 p2 p3 Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sdb) Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sda) Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sdb) Kol 30 01:20:53 computername kernel: md: export_rdev(sda) The RAID is formed using onboard southbridge Intel controller. I have managed to extract data from initramfs but I am not sure what to look for, in particular what brings up RAID assembly. /etc/udev/rules.d/65-md-incremental-imsm.rules seems like it's responsible to assemble, but I am not sure. Any thoughts why imsm RAID is not assembled in initramfs on boot?

rsync checksum to compare directories
by Chris Murphy 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

# rsync -rvnc --delete /brick0 /brick1 I've confirmed that separate devices are mounted to /brick0 and /brick1. What I'm seeing for ~ 20 minutes now is only the device mounted at brick0 is being accessed, and yet I'm seeing piles of files (verbose option) being listed. I'd expect that there'd be some back and forth as the checksum comparison happens almost simultaneously. Any ideas how this ought to work? Is rsync caching the checksums for brick0, and then it'll go compute checksums on brick1 and compare? Maybe I should use diff -qr because this is just too much verbosity anyway. I don't need every file listed. I only want to know if there are any files that are different (deleted), but I don't know if I get any delete notification from rsync without -v. -- Chris Murphy

ok, I am running fedora 22, along with ubuntu & Windows 10. a new kernel got installed last night, and I rebooted, but grub doesn't show it, and still defaults to the ubuntu OS.
