gsettings speed
by Patrick Dupre 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

Hello, I found the speed to the mouse to slow. I did: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse speed x but x = 1.0 is the maximum value that I can set. I also tried: xkbset ma but it does not help. In addition, the speed is reset to a slower speed after a reboot. dconf-editor does not help. Any ideas ?

Worried About Swap - MISSING?
by EGO-II.1 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

I have been using Fedora 25 happily now since it's release, but when I happened to run /etc/fstab while trying to "find" a USB stick I noticed this output: Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # /dev/mapper/fedora-root / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=a305554f-e0cf-47dc-8f9b-b8799276038d /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/fedora-home /home ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/fedora-swap swap swap defaults 0 0 /etc/fstab (END) My question is: Should I be worried that it's NOT showing a SWAP partition? And could thi be why this laptop which has sufficient RAM is kind of slow? And finally how would I go about adding a swap partition from the command line (as opposed to a GUI...trying to learn how to do more in the magical "Little Black Box"!) Any help offered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance EGO II

sssd cannot modify the mtime of krb5.conf
by Ronny Forberger 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi, I get the following error on sssd on FreeBSD: (Fri Nov 11 18:15:36 2016) [sssd[be[ronnyforberger.de]]] [sss_krb5_touch_config] (0x0020): Unable to change mtime of "${prefix}/etc/krb5.conf" [2]: No such file or directory (Fri Nov 11 18:15:36 2016) [sssd[be[ronnyforberger.de]]] [sss_write_domain_mappings] (0x0020): Unable to change last modification time of krb5.conf. Created mappings may not be loaded. The krb5.conf is owned and writeable by root and sssd also runs as root. What can be the problem? Best regards, Ronny

remote process/questions
by bruce 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi. Trying to get my head around what should be basic/trivial process. I've got a remote VM. I can fire up a local term, and then ssh into the remote VM with no prob. I can then run the remote functions, all is good. However, I'd really like to have some process on the local side, that would allow me to do all the above in a shell/prog process on the local side, Psuedo Processes:: -spin up the remoter term of user1(a)1.2.3.4 -track the remote term/session - so I could "log into it" see what's going on for the initiated processes" -perform some dir functions as user1 on the remote system -run appA as user1 on 1.2.3.4 (long running) -run appB as user1 on 1.2.3.4 (long running) -etc.. -when the apps/processes are finished, shut down the "remote term" I'd prefer to be able to do all of this, without actually having the "physical" local term be generated/displayed in the local desktop. I'm going to be running a bunch of long running apps on the cloud, so I'm trying to walk through the appropriate process/approach to handling this. Sites/Articles/thoughts are more than welcome. Thanks guys/gals! (and any AI that's commenting as well!!)

Gnome Shell launcher
by Frederic Muller 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Hi! Installed a script/app which doesn't have a launcher and finding difficulty to create one. Google searches tend to lead me to askubuntu with solutions which do not work for me. GNOME wiki didn't seem to have a solution that I could find neither. The most descriptive solution I found is here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/103213/how-can-i-add-an-application… but the app doesn't appear listed in the listed apps, therefore blocking me from adding it to the dash. Running the app creates a launcher in the dash, but I can't copy it to have when the app is closed. I must be missing something obvious, just can't figure out what... Any tip would be welcome. Thank you. Fred

Problems with kernel 4.7.10-100.fc23
by CLOSE Dave 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

I have several machines still running Fedora 23 but otherwise kept current with all posted updates. The latest kernel, 4.7.10-100.fc23, is causing me several troubles. 1. On these machines, I run iptables but not firewalld. The only reason I need either is to provide a NAT service. With the latest kernel, iptables with NAT refuses to start. From syslog: > (Date elided below for readability) > systemd: Starting IPv4 firewall with iptables... > iptables.init: iptables: Applying firewall rules: iptables-restore v1.4.21: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat' > iptables.init: Error occurred at line: 1 > iptables.init: Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information. > iptables.init: [FAILED] > systemd: iptables.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE > audit: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=iptables comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed' > systemd: Failed to start IPv4 firewall with iptables. > systemd: iptables.service: Unit entered failed state. > systemd: iptables.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Downgrading to kernel 4.7.9-100.fc23 resolved this issue. 2. These machines have two network interfaces and act as a bridge between two networks, one public and the other RFC1918. That's why they need the NAT. When performing an SSH connection from one of these machines to one of the other machines on its own RFC1918 network, the source of the connection is reported as the machine's public address, not its RFC1918 address. That violates some of the SSHD rules used on the target machine and prevents the connection. With previous kernels, the reported source address was the machine's RFC1918 address. Downgrading to kernel 4.7.9-100.fc23 did NOT resolve this issue. It may be (should be) possible to resolve it by re-installing with the earlier kernel but I haven't yet tried that. -- Dave Close

Thank you so much!.... I was worried that something was wrong with my upgrade from F24 to F25!.... I will next attempt to figure out the "single finger-scroll" issue. (it only works with 2 fingers....and there's no option that allows me to change it)...but that is one of the jobs of using Fedora...you LEARN with each new issue you face! Thanks a f ain't for the reply/info! Cheers!

External displays not working on Lenovo T440s
by Wes Gelpi 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

I am running Fedora 24 on a T440s. I have a docking station that when connected works as expected. However, if I disconnect from the docking station and try to connect to an external monitor sometimes the monitor doesn't recognize the computer and sometimes my computer doesn't recognize the monitor. This has been going on for a few months now and I am running updates daily.

.spec file for GO package
by arnaud gaboury 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

I am writing a .spec file for an app built with go[0]. I first made a build following the official doc, then write a .spec file and built with it .rpm. Everything is OK but I have some doubts when I look at some other .spec files for application writen in GO, or create a spec file for my app using gofed[1], or even read Fedora wiki about GO packages[2]. Spec files are indeed much more complicated, with At the beginig, one can usually see something similar to the following: %if 0%{?fedora} || 0%{?rhel} == 6 %global with_debug 1 %global with_bundled 0 %global with_check 1 %else %global with_debug 0 %global with_bundled 1 %global with_check 0 %endif %if 0%{?with_debug} %global _dwz_low_mem_die_limit 0 %else %global debug_package %{nil} %endif --------------------------------------------------- Then in %build something invoking the <go build> command is used instead of gcc make: %if 0%{?with_debug} function gobuild { go build -a -ldflags "-B 0x$(head -c20 /dev/urandom|od -An -tx1|tr -d ' \n')" -v -x "$@"; } %else function gobuild { go build -a "$@" -ldflags "-X %{import_path}/version.GitSHA %{shortcommit}"; } %endif Do I have to use go gcc or gobuild instead of make ? I am not cross compiling as the resulting package will be for my box, i.e. amd64. Thank you for help/tips as doc is not easy to find.

Why was it considered ready for OpenSUSE? Did they settle for using a stripped-down version (features disabled)? Yes, they use a stripped-down version of btrfs for quite a while (It was for certain in openSUSE_12.2, release date 5 Sep 2012) _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.
