Fedora 17 sound issues
by linux guy 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

I installed Fedora 17 today. Finally got it fully updated. Sound works fine when I run the test sound in Settings-> System Settings -> Multimedia-> Phonon Internal Audio Analog Stereo. I have no sound from apps in a KDE session. $ uname -a Linux XPS.localdomain 3.4.4-3.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 26 20:54:56 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Everything looks find in alsamixer. Any ideas on getting sound working in my session ? Thanks

F17 yum update failure on F16 packages. Solution ?
by linux guy 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

I cannot run 'yum update' due to dependency problems with F16 packages. I have exactly the same problem as Bob Mckay in this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820351 Running 'yum --skip-broken distro-sync' does not fix it. How do I resolve this issue ? Thanks

Fedora 17 "BIG CRASH"
by Mickey 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Fedora 17 Crashed big Time, I installed Fedora for a friend and Three days later it Crashed. Ai Boot startup it would Stop at Rescue Grub. After further investigation I found that label for / and /home Partitions had neen changedf to "UNKNOWN" . I'm very concern about the /home partition that has some very important data that needs to be retrieved . I always setup my Fedora Boxes with a / /home swap , three partitions , that way I can do a next version of fedora fresh install on / and Users data will be left untouched by not Formatting the /home partition. THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS, Can i do a fresh install by puting the labels back to / and /home from "UNKNOWN" and Save the Users Data in /home Or can I assume that the Users Data is LOST !! My friend say the Data Has got to be SAVED. If I can't do it he will have to take the hard drive out to someone that can. I have talk him into using a /Backup hard drive on his new computer

by Reindl Harald 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

what is this in dmesg? why is "--log-prefix" here loggd instead the --log-prefix from whatever rule it was? --log-prefixIN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:50:8d:b5:cc:de:00:01:5c:24:68:01:08:00 SRC=120.89.73.74 DST=84.113.45.179 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=51 ID=58168 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=39903 DPT=19 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 is this more likely a kernel-bug or rsyslog?

Leap Second
by Michael Cronenworth 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi all, I recommend that anyone not familiar with the term "leap second" check out all of their Linux systems. Most likely a piece of software is running in an infinite loop due to the added second on July 1st. Your system may also appear to be running normally but double-check your system load to make sure it is less than 1.00. I had several affected systems so Fedora was not ready (and I didn't bother to ready my systems). If you have high system load there are two solutions: 1. Reboot, or... 2. Manually set the date with "date". Ex: "date 07021025" for July 2nd, 10:25 AM. FYI, Michael

Is it possible to setup read-only root ?
by John Wendel 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Is it possible to setup Fedora, using Fedora provided tools/software, with a read-only root partition? There's an ancient wiki entry from the FC6 days that indicates that some work was done, but I would assume that this depended on the SysV init system. I've haven't seen any mention of read-only root setup with systemd. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John

google chrome 20 / flash player / full screen
by Kernel Guardian 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

After last google chrome update I have problem to display any flash contents in full screen mode. After investigation in chrome://plugins I find 2 plugins under flash. One is from google installation directory PaperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so and second one is in flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so. Verisions are: libpepflashplayer.so - 11.3.31.109 libflashplayer.so - 11.2 r202 For now only solution I found is to disable PepperFlash from chrome and leave flash-plugin enabled. Fortunately Firefox is not affected with google PepperFlush bug.
