Mirror iPhone in Totem -
by Bob Goodwin 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

I found the following on Google: https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+access+and+use+github *yum install totem* The next step is to clone the totem airplay plugin from github to the totem plugin folder in your own machine: *cd ~/local/share/totem/plugins/airplay* *git clone https://github.com/dveeden/totem-plugin-airplay* create the folders first if you don’t have them. Next, open totem player. Enable the airplay plugin from the *edit > plugins configuration* screen. You can now Airplay from iphone or ipad to linux! Can I make this work in Fedora 25? I tried this but github wants "Username for 'https://github.com': Paraphrase" and I don't know how to deal with that either? Perhaps there is a Fedora scheme for doing this? Any help appreciated.

[OT] bash help
by Mike Wright 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi all, My brain cell ran away from home. I have an incredibly simple script that doesn't do what I expect. I use "mkdir DIR; cd DIR" a lot so I'm trying to put it in a script: "~/bin/mdcd". After checking that $1 exists: dir="$1" mkdir -p "$dir" cd "$dir" <------ never executes The directory is created so there is no error there. Huh? Insight anyone? Thanks, Mike Wright

mate-terminal launcher oddity
by Jon LaBadie 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

On a Fedora 25 system running the mate desktop environment I have three terminal launchers in my top panel. The commands executed are: 1. mate-terminal 2. mate-terminal --geometry 96x30+130+280 -t MUMS -x ssh -Y mums 3. mate-terminal --geometry 96x30+90+130 -t CYBER -x ssh -Y cyber If # 3. is launched when no other terminal session is running two similar sized windows appear, one with the ssh session, the other with no shell or ssh apparent. If either window is closed, the other closes as well. But if another terminal session, 1. and/or 2. is already running when I launch 3., 3. comes up as a single window. Actually I briefly see the extra window, but it immediately closes leaving the one containing the ssh session. I never see the extra window behavior when the nearly identical launcher 2. is executed. Perhaps the odd behavior of launcher 3. is somehow related to mate-terminal running as a single process no matter how many terminals are open. But why the different behavior of 2. vs 3.?

Importing OpenVPN. ovpn file in Fedora 25
by InvalidPath 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Has anyone had luck importing their .ovpn file into Network Manager? When I do it, the dialog box disappears and I'm left staring at the network list (wifi, eth0, br0, etc) with no new VPN connection listed. No errors or anything.

Need help with mounting an old logical volume
by Fulko Hew 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

To make a long story short, my laptop screen died, so I bought a new laptop. I installed Fedora 25. Then I wanted to copy my old stuff off of the old drive (Fedora 23) so I took the drive out and put it into a USB container and plugged it in. The first problem is that its got a logical volume, and its name is duplicated with the current name ('fedora'). Searching the web I find that I have to rename the old volume to something unique. a) I used 'pvs' to determine the device names and to see the sizes, b) I then used 'vgs -d vg_all' to find the UUID that matched the sizes of the device I needed to alter. c) Having the UUID, I then used 'vgrename UUID fedora_old' d) Then I needed 'ls /dev/fedora_old' to see the 'sub-device' called 'root00' e) That let me 'mount /dev/fedora_old/root00 mydir' That was good enough to allow me to copy some of my data off, but it wasn't showing anything in /home/fulko. My next step was to plug an external monitor into that old laptop and reboot, and try to FTP the remainder of my data from /home/fulko. That didn't work because the volume name was now changed. So I had to change it back. I booted an F23 live CD, used 'vgs' to find the UUID, and the 'vgrename' to rename it back to 'fedora'. Rebooting with the drive, now fails with the following error messages: ... Failed to start File System Check on /dev/mapper/fedora-root00 See 'systemctl status systemd-fsck-root.service' for details. Dependency failed for /sysroot. Dependency failed for Initrd Root File System Dependency failed for Reload Configuration from the Real Root. ... and then goes into emergency mode. Following the instructions in those error messages, I used 'sytemctl' to see what I could see, and it says: /dev/mapper/fedora-root00: Inode 1317765, end of extent exceeds allowed value (logical block 128, physical block 7479168, len 15) /dev/mapper/fedora-root00: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: run FsCK manually. (i.e. without -a or -p options) fsck failed with error code 4. Running request emergency.target/start/replace ... Now what? I'm afraid of running fsck on it to resolve whatever problems it may have, (because I'm afraid of screwing it up even more) and on the other hand, what did I do wrong to get problems in the place? Comments and suggestions will be more than welcome. Thanks in advance. Fulko

compiz problems
by Jon LaBadie 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Running Fedora 25 with a Mate desktop environment. I ran the same on F24 and still do on another system. I would prefer to use compiz as my window manager. However it is unusable. If I move a window, images trail the movement and remain when I stop. Popup menus don't disappear when I make a selection. Killing a window does not cause its image to disappear. All the residual garbage is cleaned up if I change workspaces and change back again. But the desktop wallpaper is gone too. I don't run any of compiz' fancy features, wobbly windows, etc. Any idea what might cause this problem? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com
