SD card programing -
by Bob Goodwin 02 May '15

02 May '15

I just received a Raspberry Pi 2b as a birthday gift. Apparently the operating system must be stored on an micro-SD card, the o/s can be downloaded but I have to get the SD card and whatever is required to program it from Fedora 21 or 22, or buy one preprogrammed. Perhaps someone with experience there can enlighten as to what I need to order to do this? Thanks, Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/w2bod box10 Fedora-22/64bit Linux/XFCE

Fedora 21: How to download files from my Galaxy S5
by Jim Lewis 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello everyone, This worked fine on my older Android Photon Q so I expected the same on this new Galaxy S5. I plugged in the cable, found the mount point and, as my guest1 user, located the filesystem and files. I saw they were rw (read/write) and thought all was well. I tried to tar the whole thing up and noticed errors. Here's some more detail: laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D $ fl \*.jpg File Find Utility by Lewis - 3/23/2011 Version 1 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 753726 Jan 23 16:37:02 2015 IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 703395 Jan 23 16:37:12 2015 IMG_20150123_163712_747.jpg -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 1194428 Jan 23 16:37:20 2015 IMG_20150123_163720_312.jpg laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D $ cd Card/DCIM/Camera laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera $ file IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg: writable, executable, regular file, no read permission laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera $ cp IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg /tmp cp: cannot open IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg for reading: Operation not supported Not sure I have ever seen a situation like this. I can change the phone from MTP to PTP mode but then all of the files do not show up (but I can copy the files that do). I tried looking at this issue on the net but all I got was noise. This is on: Fedora release 21 (Twenty One) Kernel \r on an \m (\l) Linux laptop4.com 3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 03:08:44 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks in advance for any help. I should have checked this right when I got the phone but didn't think of it. Jim Lewis http://jklewis.com <- My resume, Java games, and link to my Linux book are here. Website has no ads!

MAC address changes on every boot
by Randy Wyatt 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

I am running a fully patched Fedora 21 system. We are trying to give it a long term lease in the DHCP server, but the MAC address sent changes on every boot. The MAC address seen at the DHCP server is not actually valid. The DHCP server is like Win2008 Server R2. Any ideas? Regards, Randy

howto bypass initial setup?

30 Apr '15

I don't know why, but after rebooting my f21 server it goes to the 'initial setup' screen. It's already all setup - how can I get out of this? -- Those who fail to understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

Re: SD card programing -

Just a thought, I did some experimenting with thumbdrives and (mini/micro)-SDcards. Most laptops do not recognize SD-drives as bootable media, but when you put them into a usb-adapter they work OK. Also making a card bootable on one adapter, does not garantee That it will be bootable in a different sort of (multi slot) usb-adapter....

RE: WiFi restoration
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

With only ten feet away, drop of signal because of distance isn't a serious consideration. However, what Tim wrote does: If there is another modem operation on the same frequency, it will cause interference (like the old moiré patterns from physics-class) If they use hidden ssid, it might be a bit harder to detect, but, moving them 4 channels up/down might be helpful, just like moving to the 5GHz band: - those signals dampens more when they travel, thus causing less interference - on the 5GHz band, you can use consecutive channels with less problems, on 2.4 you have serious overlap.

You could be in a dead spot for wireless reception - reflections of signals around the room you're in merge and cancel out where your computer's antenna is located. Try moving position a bit. I can produce this sort of problem when just a couple of feet from an access point. You could be using the same WiFi channel as a neighbour, and the clash of each others signals messes up yours. Try changing your access point's channel. I've had that problem, too. Changing channels made a world of difference. I wish the interface that shows your nearby networks that you use to pick the one you wanted showed what channels were in use, rather than having to use some other debugging tool. It'd make setting up your wireless LANs a lot easier. Some access points have an automatic option for them to pick which channel to use. Mine always automatically picked the worst one to use. Logically speaking, it'd be scanning nearby networks, and avoiding channels that are in use; or, for where they're all in use, opting to re-use the channel with the weakest signal, presuming that it was the furthest one away. However, there's a fundamental flaw with this process - the access point can only determine best and worst channels for itself, your clients are in other locations, and which already-in-use channels are stronger and weaker, for them, will probably be a different set of channels than the access point's. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.4-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 13 22:20:50 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

I'm running Gnome on F21. How do I get empathy to open a new window when someone starts a new chat with me? The notifications are nice, but unless I'm sitting right there as it happens, I tend to miss them. Thanks Woogie
