Xbox 360 controller on Fedora 32
by Greg Woods
It has been a couple of years (which means 4 or 5 Fedora releases ago)
since I did this, but I used to be able to play Xonotic using my Xbox 360
Wireless controller. Now I cannot get the controller to work properly in
F32 (it works in Windows 10 so I know the hardware is OK).
This most likely has something to do with the move from xboxdrv (which is
no longer available in Fedora) to xpad kernel driver, and/or the move from
the old js driver to evdev. The xpad driver comes with the current kernel,
but what I cannot figure out is how to calibrate the controller. If I run
Xontic with the controller connected, the game world just spins
counterclockwise. This is a symptom of the controller needing to be
calibrated, but I don't know how to do it. I tried using "jscal", but if I
run "jscal -c" to calibrate it, it appears to work but doesn't. I can
immediately run "jscal -t" and it will say it is not calibrated, and
running "jstest" also shows it is not calibrated (several of the axes are
not centered, i.e. show nonzero values in jstest).
I attempted to download and compile xboxdrv, but it does not work due to
Python 2 vs. 3 incompatibilities, and it doesn't look like any work has
been done on xboxdrv in quite some time. If I try to make it, I get this:
root@snowcrash xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8]# make
scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
File "/local/src/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.8/SConstruct", line 34
print target
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean
print(target)?
make: *** [Makefile:24: xboxdrv] Error 2
Certainly looks like Python version incompatibility.
Can anybody point me to information on how to use an Xbox 360 controller on
F32, or how to calibrate it when using the xpad driver? I have done a lot
of Googling, but most of the articles I found mention things like "apt-get
install xboxdrv", showing they were written for Ubuntu rather than Fedora
and are wanting to use the xboxdrv driver.
Thank you,

Re: Backing up system
by gmspro
Hi,
http://www.sysresccd.org/Download
With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage"
After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000".
Is this file ok to restore?
If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000"
But here below
http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots
the file is name like this:
"diskimage.pimg"
Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly?
And how can I restore it?

Many thanks,

Plasma System Settings Online Accounts Appears not to Work
by Stephen Morris
Hi,
I am running F33 inside a Vmware Player 16 vm and using Plasma as
my desktop. When I go into system settings -> Online Accounts it
displays no accounts are added yet in the middle of the page with a "+
Add New Account" button underneath it. There is also the same button in
the bottom right hand corner. If I click on either button the page title
changes to Accounts > Add New Account and displays a blank page and
there is no text or buttons anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?
regards,
Steve

How to Make Fedora 33 portable usb
by Anil Felipe Duggirala
Hello.
Ive tried searching for a clear answer to this without avail.
How would I go about creating a usb bootable (portable) installation of Fedora?
I am aware of the Live Fedora 33 Workstation images. But, for example, when boothing from that, your settings (program setting) are not saved.
How can I have a Fedora usb that I can use on different pcs? Where I have additional software installed? And settings? And maybe even a permanent /home storage space?
Thank you.

F33 just pretends to print
by Michael Hennebry
I have a Brother HL-L2360DL that I'd thought I'd finally managed to install.
I had to go to the Brother website to get a script to run.
The instructions for the script had the wrong name for it.
None of the default options for Brother printers came close.
The CUPS adminstration "web" pages say the right things:
Idle, accepting jobs, two completed jobs.
Nothing actually prints. Not even a test page.
The printer never comes out of deep sleep.
How do I fix this?
It worked with Centos 7, but I do not know what I did.
In my experience, there is no such thing as a small problem when it comes to
installing a printer on Linux:
Either it just works or it requires a mighty effort.
I am getting mighty tired of mighty efforts.
BTW how do I change the default from single- to double-sided?

btrfs or ext4
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I try to build a home nas to make a dlna server for audio, video and
pictures.
I have 2 disks for the data which I want to be mounted in raid1 (software).
I formated the two disks using btrfs
(mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb)
It works but, up to now, I can't see the advantages of this file system
vs ext4 managed by mdadm.
One disadvantage is that it seems that monitoring the system is not
possible in case of disk failure for instance.
Illuminate me with your knowledge.
Thank you.

systemd automount
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I configured an automount of directories located on a server on my local
network: in the fstab of a computer on the network I put the line:
192.168.1.16:/data /home/patte/data nfs
noauto,rw,user,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=30 0 0
It works. If the server is down, no problem, the boot of the computer is OK.
But if the server gets down while the computer is working, this turns in
an awful way: everything on the computer becomes very slow, opening a
file manager takes ages, the ls command does no work and it is
impossible to unmount the directory on which the server is mounted.
Did I forgot an option in the fstab? Is there a way to solve this
problem without shuting down the computer (which also takes ages...).
Thank you for helping.
