mailx in script
by Frank Murphy 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Every time azureus restarts (crashes out), I have a script to send an email. #!/bin/bash mailx -s"Azureus has restarted" me(a)me.place \n "It's probably crashed again." Put in the new line as was getting, a second mail with: Null message body; hope that's ok But, now am getting no mail. The script is hooked into my vuze.service ExecStartPost=/etc/scripts/azrestart # script has been chmod+x -- Regards, Frank - I check for new mail app. 20min www.frankly3d.com

Hi, running the update from 17 to 18 failed after going 67% through, please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972358 . What can I do now so I'm not stuck with a mixture of 17 and 18? -- Fedora 17.5

emacs, 'backward-delete-char-untabify
by lee 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hi, is it "normal" for emacs in Fedora to have 'backward-delete-char-untabify bound to the Del key? Or is this "normal" for emacs in general? This really doesn't give the expected behaviour, and IIRC it used to work as expected at some time. MOTT I use Ctrl-d, but when you press Del and the visible effect is Backspace, that's a bit annoying. To make it even more funny, M-x describe-key says for backspace: ,---- | DEL (translated from <backspace>) runs the command | delete-backward-char, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function. `---- Fortunately, (global-set-key (kbd "<delete>") 'delete-char) works around it, but now 'backward-delete-char-untabify isn't bound to a key anymore, and 'forward-delete-char-untabify seems to be missing at all. -- Fedora 18?

No HDMI audio with nvidia driver?
by Tom Horsley 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

As part of a temporary experiment, I put an Nvidia card in my system: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) The gnome-control-center sound panel seems to believe that it can output audio to the HDMI output, but nothing comes out on a sound test. If I install the binary nvidia driver from rpmfusion, I do get HDMI audio, so I'm guessing the nvidia driver just can't do audio yet? Another weird thing is that aplay -L lists the built in intel audio S/PDIF: iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output But gnome-control-center no longer sees it as an output option, so I can't get audio by going through my receiver either. Any of this sound familiar? (I'll be taking the nvidia card out soon, so I'm not really looking to try and fix any of this, but I thought I'd mention the weirdnesses :-).

how to set logverbose=6 to X server (forever)
by Frédéric Bron 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

I have a lot of problems with the nvidia proprietary driver. However nouveau is very much too slow so that I have to use the nvidia driver. They ask for logverbose option to be set to at least 6 to send bug reports. I see how I can do that for a manual start with startx, how can I do it for all normal starts? I am using F18 with KDE. I do not want to restart the X server manually each time I switch on the computer. Regards, Frédéric

Experience with Fedora & Dell Ultrabook XPS 12?
by Anthony Joseph Messina 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

I am considering entering the tablet market with the upcoming Fedora 19 release and I like the features of the Dell Ultrabook XPS 12 (http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-12-l221x/pd?&~ck=mn). Could anyone share experiences with Fedora/KDE/Linux and the XPS 12 in particular, or be able to point me to where the Fedora tablet gurus hangout? I'd certainly consider recommendations for other tablets/netbooks that work well with Fedora. Thanks in advance. -Anthony -- Anthony - http://messinet.com - http://messinet.com/~amessina/gallery 8F89 5E72 8DF0 BCF0 10BE 9967 92DC 35DC B001 4A4E

Install F18 using LVM on RAID
by Gerhard Gappmeier 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Hi all, I'm trying to get F18 installed on a server (x86_64). The setup is quiet easy and typical for a server: Partitions: sda1: primary partition, 512M sda2: primary partition, rest of the disk sdb1: primary partition, 512M sdb2: primary partition, rest of the disk SOFT RAID: /dev/md0: raid1, consists of sda1 and sdb1 /dev/md1: raid1, consists of sda2 and sdb2 md0: formatted with ext2, mounted as /boot md1: LVM physical device. LVM: LVM VG: "vg" using md1 LVM LV: "root", formatted as ext4, mounted as / LVM LV: "var", formatted as ext4, mounted as /var (this is for libvirt disk images) LVM LV: "swap", swap partition Grub installed in both MBRs of sda and sdb, to allow booting from both disks. Unfortunately the installer does not allow to create this kind of partition layout. With F17 this was possible. What I've already tried: 1.) creating the layout manually using fdisk, mdadm and lvm tools. Selecting only the mountpoint in installer: This does not work. The installer does not correctly recognize the layout. I was not able to select the mountpoints. 2.) Installing F17 and upgrade using fedup. This fails. Seems like fedup is not able to handle this layout. 3.) Kickstart: It looks like this is most likely the way to get it working. But I was not able to write a working kickstart script. The online doc is not enough for that. I found same kickstart examples using Google, but these didn't work either. Maybe somebody can assists me with that or has a better idea how to install that system. regards, Gerhard.

Experiences with fedup-cli: 18 -> 19: very long download process
by Nick Urbanik 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Dear Folks, I'll share my experience with upgrading four (non-virtual) machines from Fedora 18 to Fedora 19. In each case, I used fedup-0.7.3-4.fc18.noarch from updates-testing, performing a network upgrade. None of the upgrades were hampered by lack of disk space. The first two went beautifully, flawlessly, and fairly rapidly. After the success of my home machine, I upgraded my work machine from home, and when I came to work on Monday morning it worked perfectly well for me; I was a very happy camper! The third machine is a single core, old ASUS 1000e Eee PC; the downloading appeared to stall after several hours. I restarted fedup-cli --network 19 and it finished after a while longer, and upgraded just fine after the reboot. The fourth machine through, has taken the most time. It's a Lenovo x121e, the only one of the three that was a fresh install of F18. The fedup-cli download process went for more than 40 hours before I interrupted it. fedup-cli was showing all the packages repeatedly, cycling from the beginning of the alphabet after finishing the z packages. Next to each package was written "0B", presumably because it had already been downloaded. I interrupted the process twice and restarted after that initial long wait, and finally it finished this morning, and the upgrade after the reboot went smoothly and rapidly with the solid state disk. On Fedora 19, I am happy with the state that it is in now, and find it works well for me. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org nicku(a)nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24
