ssm resize luks on lvm...
by Morgan Read 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Hello folks, long time no post... (Mailman has changed...) So, big question re ssm and LUKS on LVM - I'm looking to increase /var by 3G and create another LUKS volume for /usr/local of 3G. I've reduced the size of two file-systems by 3G each: /home and / And, then the LVMs on top. The LVM on top of volume /var seems to have been expanded from 3G to 6G and the LVMs on top of /home and / seem to have been reduced by 3G, but the volumes /home and / are still showing a 3G difference between their volume and file-system sizes... I'm now attempting to increase the size of /var by 3G from 3G to 6G, but no joy - no doubt I've got my logic on the what, were and how mixed up... Terminal output of my commands to date are below - any help on where to next would be very much appreciated :) Thanks Morgan [root@morgansmachine ~]# ssm list

application to listen to on-line broadcasts?
by William Mattison 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Good morning, I've been wanting to listen to live streaming FM-radio broadcasts on-line. I'm using Firefox (current as of last Thursday) and f-23 (current as of last Thursday). If it matters, I'm using Gnome. One I've tried is here: "http://www.wbjc.com/". When I click the "iTunes/mp3" button, a dialogue pops up saying it wants to open "listen.pls" which is an "MP3 ShoutCast playlist" from "http://wbjc-sc.streamguys.org", and it launches Rhythmbox. But I can't get it to give me music. On the same page, when I click the "Windows Media" button, a dialogue pops up saying it wants to open "wbjc" which is an "ASF video" from "http://vista.streamguys.com", and it launches Videos. Nothing more happens; I can't get Videos to give me music. I try another station: "http://www.cpr.org/classical". I click the arrow near the top. I hear nothing. On the "http://www.cpr.org/listen/streaming" page, I try... 1. the Classical "MP3 Stream" "Listen" option. The pop-up says it's trying to open "live_classical_mp3.pls" which is a "PLS file" from "http://livestream.cprnetwork.org". But it doesn't find any application for such files. 2. the Classical "Windows Media Player Stream" "Listen" option. The pop-up says it's trying to open "listenClassical.asx" which is an "ASF video" from "http://livestream.cprnetwork.org", and launches "Videos". Nothing more happens; I can't get Videos to give me music. 3. the Classical "High-Quality AAC Stream" "Listen" option. The pop-up says it's trying to open "live_classical_aac.pls" which is a "PLS file" from "http://livestream.cprnetwork.org". But it doesn't find any application for such files. One more site: "http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/listings/2016/1628/". When I click the "Complete Show" link, I get a little pop-up saying "To view this content, Javascript must be enabled and Adobe Flash Player must be installed.". (Javascript is enabled.) I also tried "http://www.yourclassical.org/programs/pipedreams/episodes". When I click the Play arrow, I get a message at the bottom of the page saying "We're sorry, but your browser is not able to play the stream. Please try one of these options: 1) Install or enable Adobe Flash Player 2) Use a browser that supports HTML5 and MP3 audio, such as Chrome, Safari, or Internet Explorer 9 3) download the video. (I thought Forefox does support html5!) In fedora, using Firefox, how can I listen to these? What's the best fedora application for this? A related issue (I can move this to a separate topic if y'all prefer) I can't get "Videos" to work with anything. The video area is always solid black and the audio gives me silence when I put a dvd into the player, or when something on the web causes Videos to be launched. I can't find any way of configuring it. How do I get it to work? Thanks, Bill.

radiotray and gstreamer plugins
by Jon LaBadie 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

The current thread on "listening to online broadcasts" stimulated me to ask about problems with the one I like, "radiotray". A number of stations I try to listen to, including some preconfigured ones, fail with a list of procedures from gstreamer that suggest a plugin is missing. But it does not say which. As far as I can tell I have just about every gstreamer plugin installed and see no way to determine what may be missing. Scouring the net comes up with lots of reports of similar error listings, but no "solution" has worked in my environment. Here is a sample listing: gstdecodebin2.c (3576) gst_decode_bin_expose(): GstPlayBin2:player GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin9 GstDecodeBin2:decodebin29: I have the same problem on Fedora 22 and 24.

Setting my account up for auto login
by Jonathan Ryshpan 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

I'm trying to use KDE System-Settings->Account-Details->User-Manager, which seems to provide the function that I need; but it doesn't seem to work; it appears to allow creating accounts, but nothing happens, and doesn't seem to allow editing accounts at all. If it has to be run as root, how can I start a GUI session as root? What am I missing? Thanks - jon

ssh again..
by bruce 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Hey... (again) Still trying to get my mind around how to solve this. Someone mentioned ssh forwarding, but I've not gotten it to work. Say I have 5 boxes on my network, box1 box2 box3 box4 box5 Each box has a generic user - user1, with limited perms/access On my local box, i create a pub/private ssh key. I copy the pub key to each box.. From my local box, I can then ssh -using the priv/pub key into box1. From box1, can I then hop/ssh over to box2, using the pub key for the user1 that I created/installed? I'm trying to figure out how I can hop between boxes as needed without having to have lots of pub/private keys ... What do I need to add to the local box, or to box1 / box2 to permit me to hop from box1 to box2 without having to add a key from/between box1 and box2? if ssh forwarding is the soln, what has to be added to which files, on which boxes? Thoughts/comments.. Thanks

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.

parallel of grub2-mkconfig in older fedora release which has grub and not grub2
by Kevin Wilson 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hello, On a machine with Fedora 23 grub2, I use "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" in order to update /boot/grub2/grub.cfg if there are changes in /etc/default/grub. Running this command also sees to it that if there are other installations of Linux on the machine, and if the respective partitions are mounted, then if there are no entries in the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, then entries for these other installations of Linux are added. I have a machine which have Fedora 22 and windows. I installed CentOs 6.8 on this machine. After installation, I do not see the F22 in the /boot/grub/grub.conf. I do see the windows installation in /boot/grub/grub.conf. On Cetnos 6.8, "grub" is the bootloader, not "grub2": rpm -qa | grep grub grub grubby What should I rub to add the Fedora 22 entries to /boot/grub/grub.conf? Regards, Kevin

basic sudo/sodoers question
by bruce 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hi. I have two (2) users cat - dog user cat has access to all files in /cat, and the ability to run the apps (*.php) i want to allow user dog to be able to run as user cat, and therefore run the *.php in /cat As far as I can tell, this is a sudo/sudoers issue, where I should be able to set up a user/group to run the apps with no passwd... so... I jumped into visudo, made the change to the sudo/sudoer file (not sure what the file is actually called!). the change I made cat ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /cat/*.* I then did a #su dog whoami -- dog and as user dog... sudo -u cat /cat/aa.php and got a passwd prompt for dog.... so what did I miss/screw up.... Thanks...

going to be looking for advice on getting fedora 24 running on ASUS G752VL-DH71
by Robert P. J. Day 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

a while back, i asked about some issues getting a fully functioning fedora 23 running on my ASUS G752VL-DH71 gaming laptop (i don't actually do any gaming, i just wanted the horsepower for a build machine): https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org… i'm about to do a fresh install of fedora 24 on the same machine, and i still have some outstanding issues that are probably solvable on the current f23 that, if i can fix now, the same solution will almost certainly still hold for f24. so here are some questions if anyone has off-the-cuff solutions: 1) how do i get the backlit keyboard to, you know, backlight? i normally plug in a USB keyboard and, using "xset led", i can get *that* keyboard backlight on. but i have no idea how to get the laptop's own keyboard backlit. 2) this laptop has a displayport connector -- is that port fully supported in fedora 24? 3) this thing also has a USB-C thunderbolt port, of which i know nothing; what sort of support can i expect for that? (not even sure what i would use it for yet.) 4) just got a deal on a samsung v-nand 950 pro SSD: http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/950pro.h… haven't had time to plug it in yet, can anyone confirm that that is supported? i was *assured* by the dude at frys electronics that it would work. 5) oh, and i was about to complain that the cooling fans on this thing are always on full blast even when i'm not doing anything but, suddenly, they're quiet. i'm kind of shocked, did proper thermal support suddenly come with the latest "dnf update" kernel? i'm deliriously happy about that, i just wasn't expecting it. oh, i'm reading the online manual here: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/1076799/Asus-G752v.html so if anyone else is running f24 on one of the asus gaming laptops and wants to swap config/setup stories, i'm all ears. rday

Request for help! Adding application reviews in GNOME Software for a better F25
by Richard Hughes 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

First, apologies if this email is slightly off topic, I figured you all would be the best people to ask for help. GNOME Software in F24 allows people to write an end-user review of specific apps so other users can better choose the correct application to install. So far we've had loads of great reviews from hundreds of people, but the majority are just in English, en_GB, en_US and en_IN etc. A lot of users in other locales are writing reviews in English too. For F25 we're planning to show the "star rating" of each application more prominently in the search results, and this requires good high quality data from end users like yourselves. This star rating is made up from end-users reviews, and although we've got over 400 reviews already since the release of F24 a lot of these are for popular applications like the GIMP and a huge number of applications are missing ratings data. This is going to make the UI in F25 look non-awesome, so I'm asking for your help. If you've got a spare minute or two, I'd really appreciate it if you could write as many reviews as you can in your native language for apps you either love or hate, perhaps concentrating first on the applications we install by default, or the applications we've chosen to be "featured" in the various categories. Even having a couple of reviews in each language for just the core apps would be awesome and would look great in the F25 release notes. Thanks, Richard
