VERY slow printing
by Jonathan Ryshpan 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

It took about an hour to print a 16 page document. Printing has always been slow on graphics, very likely because of the slow link to the printer and large graphics files; but has become amazingly slow for all documents lately. The file that took an hour is a 150,941 byte PDF coming out of Firefox. System is Fedora Fedora-25 with all updates, running on a 4 Processor True Intel System. User interface is KDE Frameworks 5.29.0Cups is cups-2.2.0-5.fc25.x86_64 . Printer is a Brother HL5250-DL connected vis USB. Firefox is firefox-51.0.1-2.fc25.x86_64 . Any ideas?

running ssh/remote cmd in the background
by bruce 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Morn guys... The following works as a test ssh to fire off a remote cmd. However it waits for the cmd to complete befor returning. I'm looking to run th cmd as a background on the local/calling instance. Ultimaely, I'll be testing this from py/php scripts. ssh -t user1(a)67.205.151.05 'cat /cloud/hash2.dat | wc -l' -would the following work? ssh -t user1(a)67.205.151.05 'cat /cloud/hash2.dat | wc -l' & Im not sure if the "&" would be applied to the remote or local side for the ssh. And yeah, I know I could run a few tests... but I thought I'd get the opinion of some of you guys as well...!! Thanks

The rpm package is set to install into /opt .... and I do not have /opt. So I end up having to do one of 2 things: add args to yum to change destination dir, or create /opt and now it is installed. Thanx!!

[F25, KDE] Cannot start login manager anymore
by Frédéric Bron 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

Hi, I am using a fresh updated install with kernel 4.9.11. The system starts but comes to a black screen. I am only able to login in text mode with Ctrl+Alt+F2. I tried to start with older kernels since I started to have some issues with 4.9.9 but I have now only 4.9.9, 4.9.10 and 4.9.11 and all give the same black screen. I have not 4.9.8 anymore in the list. I am using the nvidia driver. What should I do? Frédéric

RE: automatically restart ethernet ?

On Sat, Feb 25, 2017 at 11:39 AM, fred roller <fredroller66(a)gmail.com<mailto:fredroller66@gmail.com>> wrote: Look into "heartbeat". "heartbeat" has been deprecated for several years now and is no longer supported. There are no longer heartbeat packages in the F25 repos. The supported way to do HA on Linux is now corosync with pacemaker. But this is a pretty big thing to swallow just for restarting a net connection. You might want to try a script that you can run more often than hourly that first checks to see if the net is up (maybe with a ping to your default gateway?), and only restarts NetworkManager if it's not. There are also other monitoring applications such as "monit", but that's a pretty complex beast as well. I presume you've looked into why your server keeps losing the net connection? That could be a bad cable, a bad switch port, or a bad NIC. Hardware issues tend to get worse over time; if that's what it is, even a cron kludge may eventually not work any more. --Greg Pinging a local machine should tell you when machines become unreachable, probably because of a network failure. But, as said before, it only treat consequences, not the real cause. Perhaps you should focus on that. Why does restarting NM help? To bring the interface up again? Did it loose its IP-address for some reason? Duplications? Did you consider / try a fixed IP-address? Hans Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.

Dual booting with external drive
by Patrick O'Callaghan 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

I have a new USB3 drive and would like to install Windows on one partition of it for occasional dual booting. I already have F25 on my main drives (root on a 128GB SSD and /home on a 1TB internal SATA) so the usual advice of "install Windows first, then Linux" is not really what I want to hear unless there's no alternative. My mobo can support BIOS or UEFI. Any pointers to how to go about this would be appreciated, (including getting Windoze to run from a USB drive, and apologies for being OT with that part). poc

Boot F25 live media in text mode
by Ian Pilcher 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

I am trying to boot Fedora 25 live media on a MITAC PD11TI board. By removing "quiet" from the kernel command line, I am able to see the kernel messages up until KMS kicks in. After that, all I get is a black screen with a "no signal" message. I've tried adding both "nomodeset" and "3" to the kernel command line, and I've tried booting with "basic graphics," all to no effect. How the bleep can I boot Fedora 25 live media into text mode with no KMS? (This is an Atom N2800 with an integrated PowerVR GPU, with seems to use the gma500_gfx module; this module does not appear to have any parameters.) -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ========================================================================
