ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
my computer boot only in emergency mode ...
Looking the journalctl (command journalctl -xb), I found (in thejournalctl
) these lines in red color :
ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
(and after..)
ATA200: SRST failed (erro 16)
That seem indicate that it is a problem to access the HDs..
I found a possible solution to the problem in this post:
http://codeverge.com/opensuse.org.help.install/-solved-ata1-srst-failed-e...
There is wrote that :...the problem can depend by the physic set up of the
HD (as "master", "slave", "single drive", ...): this set up can be done by
changing the position of a jumper on the HD...
I know that, in the past time, the HDs had to be set physically in this
way.., but recently I never heart anymore that the modern HD need this
operation..
So actually I don't care anymore of the configuration of the HDs
(my HD is Toshiba 1 TB that I bought few mounts ago).
I would like to have a confirmation that what I read in the post is only an
obsolete information and, in any case, I would like to know also what I can
do to go around in my problem..
>From the command line: ls /dev/sd* I get:
give me this input :
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2
Thank you
regards

nc missing option -z
by Suvayu Ali
Hi,
I used to use netcat to check if a particular host is up or if I have
internet connection before I run a few scripts. I would use the -z
option in particular. But now I see that has been removed:
$ nc -z imap.gmail.com 993 && sync-my-email.sh
ncat: invalid option -- 'z'
Here is the excerpt from the old manual page:
-z Specifies that nc should just scan for listening daemons, without
sending any data to them. It is an error to use this option in
conjunction with the -l option.
Any ideas what happened to it? What can I use as replacement?
Thanks for any ideas.

F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!
by William Mattison
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.

Fedora on MacBook Air 7,1
by Frederic Muller
Hi!
Failed to install F22 on a MacBook Air 7,1 end of July. I think the
problem was coming from the new SSD drive/system which does not have a
proper driver yet. The machine is not mine but I'll be doing the
installation :-/
Any idea, hint or news about this?
Thank you.

Thunderbird Opening Links
by R. G. Newbury
In a moment of insanity, I installed google-chrome on fedora21. The
Chrome installation made chrome the default and changed the
network-protocol handlers in Thunderbird to 'chrome'. I have since
removed google-chrome and manually edited the entries in TB back to
firefox. I think I have properly set firefox as the default browser.
BUT, when I click on a link in an email in tbird, Nothing happens (even
if firefox is open).
Getting tired of copying link location, and pasting into the address bar.
Can anyone assist? My google-fu produces nothing.
