F15: weird files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
by Joachim Backes 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

Hi, Besides ifcfg-em1 and ifcfg-lo, I found some weird configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: ifcfg-Auto_abc ifcfg-Auto_linksys 1 ifcfg-Auto_linksys ifcfg-Auto_mycloud I don't know who is reponsible for creating these files. But I saw that they slowed down NetworkManager's speed after boot when logging in for the first time (it took about 20 secs until the network was completely up). After having removed these files, I saw a significant improvement of NetworkManager. Anybody has an explication? Kind regards -- Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> http://www.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes

Network scripts question -
by Bob Goodwin 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

I have two F-15 computers. Box6 has the following files while box9 has only /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo, both are using NetworkManager. [bobg@box6 ~]$ ll /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* -rw-r--r--. 3 root root 577 Jun 22 18:16 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 254 Apr 27 13:17 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo -rw-r--r--. 3 root root 577 Jun 22 18:16 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p2p1 I can ssh from box6 to box9 but not from box9 to box6. Either one will ping the other, stopping the fire wall does not have any effect. Any suggestions, what to look for? Bob .--

Network printing in Fedora 15
by Richard Shaw 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

I recently upgraded (clean install) my wife to F15 and noticed that even after I opened up the firewall for printing that it did not auto detect my printers like it had in F14. Am I missing something or is this intentional? The Gnome 3 printer settings GUI is, uh, interesting. Manually adding a printer seemed to work. Thanks, Richard

I keep seeing various XFCE crashes after upgrading F14 -> F15, but ABRT never pops up anymore. Is it broken?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I try to use "system-config-samba" and I cannot because I get a quite cryptic message: Erreur d'autorisation L'autorisation demandée pour « org.fedoraproject.config.samba.configure » n'a pas pu être obtenue. L'application va maintenant se fermer. I try to translate: Authentication error: The permission asked for "org.fedoraproject.config.samba.configure" was not given. The application is going to shut down now. What does this mean? How to solve the problem? As a matter of fact, I would observe that messages should be given to help people not to confuse them and let them with no clue on how to solve their problems...

Help With Touchpad on System 76 Pangolin Performance
by Richard Heck 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

I've just recently bought a Pangolin Performance laptop from System 76. The machine is fantastic, though they insist upon installing Ubuntu on it. :-/ So I'm trying to get Fedora working. The only two snags seem to be the wireless and the touchpad. Camera and audio seem fine. The wireless was just a matter of installing iwl6000g2b-firmware. The touchpad is proving a bit more difficult. It appears to be detected just as a PS2 mouse. System 76 deal with this on Ubuntu by installing a kernel module via dkms. The source for the module is available here: http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 If I follow what the "System 76 Driver" does, then I do: cd /usr/src wget http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 tar -jxvf psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2 dkms add -m psmouse -v elantech-v6 dkms build -m psmouse -v elantech-v6 all as root. Unfortunately, this last step fails. The log shows: > DKMS make.log for psmouse-elantech-v6 for kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 > (x86_64) > Thu Aug 4 21:28:57 EDT 2011 > make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64' > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse-base.o > /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse-base.c:862:3: > warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by > default] > /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse-base.c:862:3: > warning: (near initialization for ‘psmouse_protocols[10].detect’) > [enabled by default] > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/synaptics.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/alps.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/elantech.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/logips2pp.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/lifebook.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/sentelic.o > CC /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/trackpoint.o > LD /var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/psmouse.o > MODPOST 0 modules > make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64' It occurred to me that the problem might be the dkms.conf file: > PACKAGE_NAME="psmouse" > PACKAGE_VERSION="elantech-v6" > CLEAN="rm -f *.*o" > > BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="psmouse" > MAKE[0]="make -C $kernel_source_dir > M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src psmouse.ko" > BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="src" > DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates" > > AUTOINSTALL="yes" But I do not understand these files. For what it's worth, trying to run the make command manually as: > make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64/ > M=/var/lib/dkms/psmouse/elantech-v6/build/src/ psmouse.ko still gives the "MODPOST 0 modules" error. Can anyone help please? I'd much prefer to run Fedora on this thing.... Richard

Intel 4965AGN Standard "N" update
by Lawrence E Graves 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Just inquiring as to whether or not if there is going to be an update to the 4965AGN wifi card to utilize the new Standard "N". I have the Overdrive Pro which has the new "N" and my 4965AGN will not connect and I believe it is because the Draft N is not compatible with the new Standard. I stand to be corrected. Just asking someone to look into this problem I am having. I have contacted Sierra Wireless and they have assured me that their device is backward compatible so I am looking further for answer. I have purchased 2 new 4965AGN with no success in connecting to my Overdrive Pro. Please advise. -- Lawrence E Graves <lgraves(a)risingstarmbc.com> All things are workable but don't all things work.
