F21: Save session on logout issues
by Max Pyziur 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Greetings, Xfce gives you the option to save your session on logout. In earlier versions, all of my tabbed sessions of Gedit and Gnome-Terminal would be restored. Now, with an F21 setup, only Firefox comes up restored. At best, Gedit is opened, but in a new document setting. Any pointers on whether or not this can be changed so that Gedit and Gnome-Terminal sessions are restored? Or is this a new, undocumented feature? Thanks. Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Emacs and Ibus in Fedora-21
by Stuart McGraw 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

I just moved from Fedora-15 to Fedora-21 and another breakage that occurs is using Emacs with Ibus. I've been using Emacs since the dark ages and I also need to enter and edit Japanese text. This worked fine through many versions of Fedora and Ibus (or its predecessors) up to Fedora-15 when I had to start running Emacs with a command like "LC_TYPE=ja_JP.utf8 emacs" to get it to accept Japanese characters. Now in Fedora-21, the above command now longer works and I can't find any way of getting Emacs to input Japanese characters other than its own very awkward and poor built-in IME. It appears the migration to a completely broken combination has been completed successfully. :-( Googling has not turned up much beyond a bunch of non-working, contradictory or old information. Is there any way to get Emacs to work with Ibus?

Sometimes, I want to view a youtube vid in full screen, which hides the desktop and the panels. In such cases, how can I take a screenshot of the workspace where I am playing the youtube vid in full screen mode? Thanx!

Re: F21 systemd log flood - how to stop
by Andy Hairston 31 Mar '15

> "warn" isn't valid. I know that now; looks like I mistook the Apache logging level names for the Linux ones. I don't understand why an invalid log level would generate an 'access denied' message instead of something more sensible, like 'invalid log level'. > Have you restarted systemd either by sending it a SIGHUP or doing "systemctl daemon-reload"? Yes, and rebooted the machine. Multiple times. No effect - I'm still getting the "Invalid log level'warn'" message during boot even though 'warn' is no longer in system.conf. Not sure if it's at all related, but the error message is in a section of log/messages with bogus timestamps - 4 hours before the real time. (Boot logs start off with the right time, says "Journal stopped", then "journal: Runtime journal is using 4.0M (max allowed..." with the bogus time, couple of pages of log entries with the bogus time, then repeats "Journal stopped" w/ bogus time, then "journal: Runtime..." with the correct one again.) 1. Why isn't systemd using the current version of the config file - even after systemctl daemon-reload, systemctl daemon-reexec, and reboots? 2. How do I get systemd to stop filling my log files with Starting Paths. Reached target Paths. Starting Timers. Reached target Timers. Starting Sockets. Reached target Socket etc.?

reposync for two Fedora versions
by CLOSE Dave 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

I've been running reposync successfully for Fedora 20 for months. Now I'd like to repeat the process for Fedora 21 while continuing to take updates for F20 on the same machine. But it isn't working for me. /usr/bin/reposync -n -a x86_64 -r fedora21 -p /data/yum-mirrors/x86_64 Error setting up repositories: no such table: packages The exact same command works perfectly if I substitute fedora20. Both are described in my .repo files exactly the same way. Looking around, I see that most references to this error, not for reposync but for other YUM commands, state that the solution is to clean the RPM data base. I've done that. I've even re-created it from scratch. I still get the same error. Any other ideas? -- Dave Close

Re: F21 systemd log flood - how to stop

Finally found out that I was using the wrong syntax for the set-log-level command. (Why did it say 'access denied' instead of 'bad syntax???) Changing the log level all the way to emerg still had no effect. And in my logs during reboot, I'm seeing this message: systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system.conf:11] Invalid log level'warn': Operation not permitted even though /etc/systemd/system.conf doesn't contain LogLevel=warn (anymore) - it has LogLevel=emerg! Why isn't systemd reading the CURRENT /etc/systemd/system.conf file? Why does the command line setting seem to have no effect? Is systemd this hopelessly broken?

I want to install denyhosts, but I currently am using stock f21 install (without rsyslogd). Will this work? -- Those who fail to understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

sometimes boots f21, sometimes hangs
by Neal Becker 30 Mar '15

New lenovo X1 carbon. Sometimes boots, sometimes hangs. Today tried to boot and repeatly hung, saying waitjob for /sysroot Sounds pretty scary. After repeated attempts, now it is booted OK. Tried on latest kernel and also previous 1 or 2. Any ideas? -- -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

log message when starting firefox
by Corinna Vinschen 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hi, Every time I start firefox I'm getting the following message in the log 2015-03-26T08:43:05.397185+01:00 machine-name dbus[742]: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.5658" (uid=1234 pid=27250 comm="/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox ") interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" member="state" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" (uid=0 pid=782 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon ") Does firefox really depend on NetworkManager? I don't have NetworkManager installed, my network is started statically via /etc/rc.d/init.d/network, so the message makes kind of sense. But really, firefox depending on NetworkManager? That can't be right, can it? Either way, is there a way to get rid of this log message other than installing NetworkManager? Thanks, Corinna
