Hi all, Long time Linux user, new Fedora user (well, at least since FC 3), so be gentle. I installed asterisk and dahdi from source and they were working great, but when I reboot one of two things happens: 1. Ownership of /var/lib/asterisk and /var/run/asterisk is reset from group "asterisk" to "root". 2. The /var/run/asterisk folder disappears completely. If I change them back, my asterisk setup works fine, but after a reboot, one of those two happens again. What could be mucking with my permissions (and removing a folder!?) in the boot process? Thanks, Robert M. Marmorstein Associate Professor of Computer Science Longwood University, Ruffner 329 201 High Street, Farmville, VA 23909 434.395.2185 marmorsteinrm(a)longwood.edu

Re: OT: Metapost experts help with soccerball

-----Inline Attachment Follows----- It does not have the pentagons filled with color. This does not make the picture come to life. There might be some mathematica notebooks out there, but they are not free, and cannot translate to code that we can use such as octave, or maxima. I have found a Geogebra page which does have the filled pentagons https://www.geogebra.org/material/show/id/AfNmbnDD But I would prefer it be in metapost. Not all my machines have texlive, not all of them have java as well. I hope that with a bit of time, someone who knows metapost can help translate the code from the hoist point website which is more precise. Or a more solidly colored geogebra one. @all, I have found the following page which may help generate a nice looking soccer ball https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/118604/3d-graphic-of-soccer… Problem it is for mathematica, converting to maxima, octave, plain gnuplot, or metapost would be optimal. Best Regards, Antonio

Askbot not sending email notification on first postings
by Chris Murphy 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

cross posting this on users@ and devel@, I'm not sure who all regularly participates on askbot.fedoraproject.org as it's mainly user to user. The gist of this problem is you set up some keywords/tags and if someone posts a question with one of those tags, you get an email. Neat because I don't want emails for every question posted, just the topics I'm going to be useful answering. Problem is, I don't get an email notification for the original posting. I only get followup emails from people answering or commenting to the question. I already filed bugs upstream and downstream: https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/issues/705 https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/6174 Question is, has anyone else experienced this? It's been a couple weeks since I posted the upstream bug without a reply and it seems like a really big bug to be going on this long if everyone's affected by it. So I'm just curious if this is affecting everybody and they just haven't ever really realized it, or if it's an isolated case. Thanks, -- Chris Murphy

OT: Metapost experts help with soccerball
by Antonio Olivares 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

Dear Fedora users, Is there anyone that can help create a soccerball image using metapost? Use exact coordinates as recommended in http://www.hoist-point.com/soccerball.htm I created one using gnuplot but it is just an approximation, the numbers are not correct. The picture can be found http://plotshare.com/index.ws/plot/166954608 It is not mathematically correct, I believe that using metapost it can be drawn more precise, but my skills are limited. If anyone can help with this, it is greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Antonio

libGL mess with nvidia drivers
by Amadeus W.M. 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

Just swapped nouveau out for the nvidia driver from rpmfusion following https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA. Basically I did dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx akmod-nvidia-340xx "kernel-devel- uname-r == $(uname -r)" dnf update -y Reboot and startx and only one (of 2) monitor was working, the other was blank. I ran nvidia-config and this created a /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then restarted the X server and both monitors are up and running and I'm running the nvidia drivers: 28) root:~> lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia 10563584 24 drm 348160 4 nvidia 29) root:~> lsmod | grep nouveau 30) root:~> Now the problems: 30) root:~> glxinfo name of display: :0.0 X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (NV-GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 () Resource id in failed request: 0x4a00009 Serial number of failed request: 56 Current serial number in output stream: 56 31) root:~> glxgears X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (NV-GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 () Resource id in failed request: 0x4a00002 Serial number of failed request: 38 Current serial number in output stream: 38 32) root:~> xdriinfo libGL is too old. 33) root:~> I think all this has to do with libGL. 34) root:~> ldd /usr/bin/glxgears | grep libGL libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib64/nvidia-340xx/libGL.so.1 (0x00007f55a0e8c000) so that points to the nvidia libGL.

So I can't uninstall the libGL provided by fedora, it would take out too many packages with it, including the X server. Can I choose which libGL to use with alternatives somehow? How do switch everything to use the nvidia libGL? I assume there are people there who are using the nvidia driver right now, some maybe using the rpmfusion rpms. Can someone post which libGL they have installed on their system and how they got the whole thing to work? Thanks!

OT: Firefox + html5 + Youtube "Live" vids
by JD 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

I have enabled html5, and yet youtube claims Browser does not currently recognize any of video formats available Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. When I do click on "Click here ....etc" I get the same page tat I access directly with the URL https://www.youtube.com/html5 and it shows The HTML5 player is currently used when possible. For a sample live video, I clicked on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtU_mdL2vBM just in case you wanted to know what I clicked on. Thanx!!

Problem with K3B.
by Ger van Dijck 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Hi Everybody , When starting K3B I get the following message : System configuration problem. Unable to find cdrskin executable. K3B uses cdrskin in place of cdrecord. Solution : Install the libburn package which contains cdrskin. Question : How to manage and what is the essence of the problem ? Burning CD's and DVD's works fine. Kind Regards , Ger van Dijck. -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

So long nouveau
by Tom Horsley 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Well I've been using my newly installed fedora 26 boot partition for all of a half day, and the nouveau driver just completely froze up the display (exactly the same thing that happened on fedora 24 with nouveau). I guess I'm off to look through the logs for any info and then install the rpmfusion nvidia binaries.

[F25] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
by Frédéric Bron 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

At boot, I get this message in red: [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details. And here is the output of the recommanded command: # systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service ● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (exited) since sam. 2017-08-05 06:29:03 CEST; 8min ago Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8) man:modules-load.d(5) Process: 547 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 547 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/systemd-modules-load.service août 05 06:29:03 alpha systemd-modules-load[547]: Inserted module 'vboxdrv' août 05 06:29:03 alpha systemd[1]: Started Load Kernel Modules. Do I have an issue? It seems not but why do I have the FAILED message then? Frédéric
