clueless question! - sortof sms/text related
by bruce 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hi guys. This is totally off topic -- so delete as required!! I'm investigating a project, and have no clue as to where to start, other than Google/reseach/etc.. Curious as to how to setup a test system to have test users send/receive sms/test messages. If a user has a mobile/app that connects back to the "server" for the msg handling "stuff" does the process need to involve a twillo/telcom? I've seen open source projects (zulip) that have the server/client/mobile parts, but have no clue as to what's involved with architecting or building out a complete/working solution. So, I figured I'd ask here if anyone has any insight into this kind of system, or has pointers to any company/resource that I could talk to. Thanks guys -- Have a cool weekend!

If the install works right off then Balsa seems to just work. I've changed the theme and the Fedora 23 instances work well, I've been using it. I need to find a spell checker. Bob

http://arstechnica.co.uk/information-technology/2016/06/ubuntu-snap-app s-are-coming-to-distros-everywhere-bye-apt-yum/ At first glance this looks really interesting and will be available on Fedora, though according to the article RedHat haven't yet decided to support it officially. Any thoughts? poc

I just went through the Balsa setup routine on an up to date Fedora 24 beta vm on the same computer I have been working on with the following errors from debug.

wifi madness
by Chris Murphy 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi, I have a super annoying problem that is not Fedora specific, but it's been driving me nuts for a few weeks. Any idea for a more appropriate forum to post this in is as useful as an idea what's going on or next steps. Linksys WRT600N using dd-wrt in client mode, with laptop and Intel NUC connected via wired. Both laptop and NUC would get fast.com and speedtest.net download speeds of ~16Mbps for about 30 minutes then tank to maybe 150kbps after that until the Linksys radio was disabled then renabled, or just rebooted. The same thing happens when flashed with openwrt except it only takes 5 minutes to manifest. I assumed it was a bad radio on the WRT600N or maybe it's some hardware incompatibility with the local APs. I went down the road of multihoming (in previous emails I was sorting out how to get wireless routed by default for internet and wired for local stuff.) Well get this. The Apple laptop wireless always gets 16Mbps, it never tanks. The Intel NUC does the same thing as the WRT600N. It gets 16Mbps for 5-10 minutes, then implodes until I do a 'nmcli c down' followed by 'nmcli c up' sort of thing, and then it gets good bandwidth. So WTF? I just noticed this odd duck behavior: # sudo journalctl -b | grep AssocResp laptop fedora 24 (same results with fedora 23) https://paste.fedoraproject.org/378329/ intel NUC https://paste.fedoraproject.org/378331/ The Apple laptop wireless is bouncing between two APs exactly two minutes apart all the time. This is constant over weeks. But the Intel NUC doesn't do that, it pretty much sticks with one AP for hours at a time. All three devices are within 2 meters of each other. I have no idea where these APs are. Whatever is causing the Apple wifi card to go back and forth between two APs is somehow acting like a disconnect/reconnect "fix" that I've been doing manually with the WRT600N and NUC, which uses an Intel 3165 wireless card. Where the other two persist in holding on to an AP where the performance has face planted. My Motorola Android phone also doesn't have the problem. Maybe this is enough information to forward to the IT folks who manage this wifi setup? Is there anything else I should provide? Or some way of making this write up more concise? iwlist gets me this Cell 01 - Address: B4:C7:99:ED:F8:A8 Channel:11 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality=46/70 Signal level=-64 dBm Cell 02 - Address: B4:C7:99:EE:25:08 Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Quality=60/70 Signal level=-50 dBm Cell 08 - Address: B4:C7:99:ED:F0:C8 Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Quality=30/70 Signal level=-80 dBm I have no idea why anything would pick cell 08 with that kind of signal, but bloop there it is. I don't think this is an 802.11g vs n issue. The WRT600N does n on dd-wrt, but only bg on openwrt. The Apple wireless is not using proprietary driver, so 802.11n isn't supported, only bg. The Intel NUC supports n as well as many others. Thanks, -- Chris Murphy

F23 KDE stability issues
by CLOSE Dave 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

I'll be the first to admit that I don't use Fedora in a conventional way. But it suits me -- or it did until things started misbehaving a few weeks ago. Now I'm finally disgusted enough to write some notes and hope for good advice. I run F23 with the KDE desktop in what used to be called runlevel 3. I delete rhgb and quiet from /etc/default/grub and start X using startx because I like to see what happens during boot. I hate systems that try to hide what is really happening. Once KDE is running, I use eight desktops with several windows on each one, most of them XTerms with active SSH sessions to other machines. When I leave my desk, I lock the screen but I disable locking based on inactivity. As long as this works, I'm happy. But it doesn't work reliably for the last few weeks. If I'm away from my desk for more than a few minutes, the lock screen is frozen when I return. I can't unlock. I can switch to a different virtual terminal and kill X, but if I then try to restart X using startx again, it doesn't come up properly. No windows appear, no panels, and neither the keyboard nor the mouse do anything except move the cursor. I have to fall back to rebooting. When I reboot and startx again, things start up as they should. Except that all my previous windows are on the first desktop, overlapping like crazy. Moving them where they should be is very annoying and tedious. I have to do this at least once per day, sometimes more often. It's not just a matter of rearranging the windows, I also have to re-establish all the SSH sessions. And, of course, any active commands that were running were terminated so I may have some clean-up to do, also. My machine is completely up-to-date with the latest Fedora. Even the kernel is up-to-date due to the frequent reboots. The F23 was not an upgrade, it was originally installed fresh using the workstation image (but choosing KDE, not Gnome). -- Dave Close

How to set video resolution permanently in Fedora 22?
by David Aldrich 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi I want my Fedora 22 box to run at a video resolution of 1680x1050. I added and selected that resolution by doing: $ xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00" 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync $ xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680x1050_60.00 $ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050_60.00 That worked, but when I reboot the resolution reverts to 1280x1024. I tried creating file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf and putting in it: Section "Monitor" Identifier "VGA-0" Option "PreferredMode" "1680x1050_60.00" EndSection but that had no effect (perhaps because the resolution was not found after the reboot). How can I set the resolution to 1680x1050 permanently? Best regards David

Anaconda doesn't recognize the storage device in LXDE spin
by Kalpa Welivitigoda 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi all, I was trying LXDE 24 spin pre release yesterday with a live image made with unetbooting, it booted without no issues. But when I try to install to disk, in the storage device recognizing phase, it says "probing for storage device" (I am not sure about the exact wording though) and nothing happens after that (I waited for like 20 minutes). Have we come across a similar issue? Any solution or a workaround? -- Best Regards, Kalpa Welivitigoda http://about.me/callkalpa

[OT] Apache/PHP question or resource
by Ed Greshko 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Running an instance of httpd and the /var/www/html directory has an index.php file. If I go to http://localhost the page appears to render properly and when I hover over certain areas a drop-down menu appears and I can see the corresponding URL showing in the lower part of my browser. However, when I click on any of these nothing changes. It appears that index.php is being served up. Also, even if I enter the URL of one of the links I get only index.php. In the access log I see.... 127.0.0.1 - - [14/Jun/2016:16:09:22 +0800] "GET /index.php?action=intro&lang=en&id=162 HTTP/1.1" 200 6598 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.84 Safari/537.36" and no errors. Ideas of what I'm doing wrong OR a better place to ask this question. -- You're Welcome Zachary Quinto

unable to copy&paste between VirtualBox Windows7 host and Fedora23 VirtualBox guest
by Kenneth Wolcott 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Hi; unable to copy&paste between VirtualBox Windows7 host and Fedora23 VirtualBox guest 1. I have the VirtualBox Guest Additions installed on the Fedora 23 VirtualBox Guest; 2. I have bidirectional copy and paste enabled in VirtualBox for the Fedora 23 VirtualBox Guest; 3. copy&paste does not work either way; I have a Debian Jessie VirtualBox Guest on this same VirtualBox WIndows 7 host where bidirectional copy&paste works just fine. I have already requested assistance on the VirtualBox mailing list. The first tip was to verify that copy&paste was actually enabled by running VBoxManage: cd /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox ./VBoxManage.exe showvminfo trombone | grep 'Drag and drop' Drag and drop Mode: Bidirectional ./VBoxManage.exe showvminfo bassoon | grep 'Drag and drop' Drag and drop Mode: Bidirectional [trombone is Debian Jessie and bassoon is Fedora 23] The second tip was to to look at https://goo.gl/6PtJtE which I'm still trying to grok. Does anyone have any additional tips? Thanks, Ken Wolcott
