Sound being fed back into audio system
by Anthony 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

Whenever I chat with someone over VoIP, they can hear themselves being fed back into the audio stream. That's true even if I have headphones on. Any idea how to fix this? OS: FC18 Thanks, Anthony

F18 *vs.* yum update??

08 Jun '13

The PC I'm on at the moment, my #2, claims to be running F18 : [btth@Hbsk2 ~]$ uname -r 3.6.10-4.fc18.i686 [btth@Hbsk2 ~]$ The last two times I've run yum update on it, it has gotten all *F17* updates.

F18 - gnome-applet-alarm-clock?
by Paul Erickson 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

Does anyone know if gnome-applet-alarm-clock will be released for F18? The only thing I can find regarding this says that the status is "deprecated", and I do not know what that means. I realize that this is not a top priority item, but I have often used it in previous FC releases, and the current clocks available for F18 do not seem to work very well, at least the alarm function. Thanks in advance. cheers, Paul

How do I resolve package conflicts?
by Anthony 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

There have been a few packages I've wanted to install that have run into conflicts. In some cases, I've simply forced the install and haven't had any problems. In others, like my Google Earth debacle last week, I ended up with some pretty major problems that, thankfully, this list helped me fix. Now, I want to work on building a few RPM's and I need to install the tools. But, when I try, I get an error saying there's a conflict with the filesystem package. What is the appropriate way to resolve this? Thanks!

Firewall and DNS caching without NetworkManager
by আনন্দ কুমার সমাদ্দার Ananda Samaddar 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello all, I've just installed Fedora 18 X86-64. I disabled and uninstalled networkmanager and use the standard networking stuff which seems to use dhclient. I'm using a standard ethernet connection. So I need to do two things. Feel free to tell me to RTFM if you can provide a link! 1. How do I enable pre-pending of nameservers? I want to use dnsmasq to cache DNS requests so I need to add 127.0.0.1 to the top of resolv.conf. Google searchs take me to the Arch Wiki. I can't seem to find a dhclient.conf file anywhere in /etc. 2. How do I assign a zone in firewalld to my connection? I want to be able to open ports for bittorrent and XMPP jingle voice/video. The firewalld wiki on the Fedora site doesn't seem to be able to answer my question. thanks in advance, Ananda Samaddar

Firewalld - list tables?
by John Horne 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello, I have been looking at the new Fedora firewall 'firewalld' and the 'firewall-cmd' command. I'm currently running F17 on a PC with an F18 virtual machine, and have been trying to understand firewalld prior to upgrading to Fedora 19. The PC has a modified iptables. So I have been trying to see how to incorporate the changes into the new firewalld. I suspect I will need to use the 'firewall-cmd --direct' option to add the iptables rules (as I see no other way of specifying on the rules source/destination addresses using 'firewall-cmd'). However, 'firewall-cmd' offers both the '--get-chains' and '--get-rules' options, but these both require specifying which table is to be used. How do I know what the tables are? There is no '--get-tables' option. I can run 'cat /proc/net/ip_tables_names' and this lists the standard iptables tables (nat ,mangle, filter). But if I use these names with 'firweall-cmd' all I get is a blank line displayed. E.g. firewall-cmd --direct --get-chains ipv4 nat The same occurs with all the table names. So, my question is this, is 'firewall-cmd' working correctly and simply stating that none of the tables have any chains (and so no rules)? Secondly, how do I find out what tables are defined for firewalld? Thanks, John. -- John Horne Tel: +44 (0)1752 587287 Plymouth University, UK Fax: +44 (0)1752 587001

Apple Mac can't access NFS -
by Bob Goodwin 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Our LAN has a mix of Linux and OSX computers connected to it. The Linux computers work as expected but the OSX computers will not connect, complains: "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct." The servers contain: -bash-4.1$ cat /etc/exports # # /etc/exports /nfs4exports 192.168.1.0/24(ro,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0) /nfs4exports/data 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /nfs4exports/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) Does anyone see anything here that would prevent them from connecting?

Problem with Wifi after sleep
by Joshua J. Kugler 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Fedora 18, kernel 3.9.4, lspci says "Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 3e)." Wireless connections work fine, until it wakes from sleep. I see three "direct probes" (among other things), and then connection fails. If I hibernate, and wake up, wireless will work fine. Also discovered that when it wakes up from sleep, it couldn't even see the access point it was using before (according to Network Manager...or maybe it had just removed it from the list since it couldn't connect). Disabling the wireless by both software and hardware switches solved the visibility problem, but did not resolve the connection issue. relevant /var/log/messages parts attached. Any other information you need from me? I'll open a bug, if need be. j -- Joshua J.

Create permanent mce.log
by Frank Murphy 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

mcelog is now handled, by mcelog.service You can "cat /var/log/messages | grep mce" How could that be made more permanent, to get all mce events into /var/log/mcelog. Do people just disable the .service, and re-enable the mcelog.cron? -- Regards, Frank - I check for new mail app. 20min www.frankly3d.com

fedup-cli failed to upgrade from 18 to 19
by Mateusz Marzantowicz 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

I don't quite understand this error that occurred during Fedora upgrade. I did: fedup-cli --network 19, the result is: Upgrade test failed with the following problems: insufficient disk space need 150M free on / (1.2G free) fedup ERROR: Upgrade test failed. It needs 150 M but it states it has 1.2G available. So, is 150M > 1.2G ???? Mateusz Marzantowicz
