Device Notifier show NFS shares
Since upgrading to Fedora 16 I notice that the device notifier always has my nfs shares listed. I've insured that "removable device only" is checked, but it still shows the nfs shares.

Re: Looking for beautiful themes, application settings, fonts, etc. (KDE)
I didn't install Chrome, but thanks to the suggestions here, mainly the screen resolution, my desktop is now beautiful. Almost stunning, actually. Things I did - disable the laptop display, which for some reason set the resolution to 128x129. With just the U3011, I get a resolution of 75x75. - enabled anti aliasing - installed a 2560x1600 desktop wallpaper image - selected the Oxygen theme I have 2 issues yet. 1) When I go back to operating with just the laptop, ie no u3011, the fonts are huge. For some reason the resolution gets set to 128x129. Not sure why. 2) The fonts in gmail in Firefox and only gmail are ugly. Every other page looks quite nice.

Harald has a point... a one-shot upgrade doesn't necessarily justify the developers time to migrate each/every setting from sysv to systemd but this is a participatory OS and if you feel it is lacking, feel free to offer your time and energy to script the migration or otherwise recognize that you are just whining which apparently doesn't even give you catharsis.

Mic Plugged into sound card not working
Hey guys, I have a mic plugged into my sound card. It worked late last night but not today. When I try to select the mic using System/Preferences/Sound I'm provided with several options to choose from. On the Hardware tab I choose the Internal Audio device and set it to Analog Stereo Duplex. On the Input tab I choose Internal Audio Analog Stereo there are two Analog Microphone Inputs, 1 and 2, to choose from. Each of those inputs has Microphone 1 and 2 to choose from. When I try to record from the mic in Audacity I get a flat signal if I choose Input 1 no matter which Microphone, 1 or 2, I choose. If I choose Input 2, no matter which Microphone I choose, the wave form freezes until I return the selection to Input 1. alsamixer -c0 does not indicate any input settings being muted. In fact its indications change in response to changes in Sound Preferences and Sound Preferences indications change in response to changes in alsamixer -c0.

The mic works fine but the XP machine doesn't. Very frustrated. Anyone have any idea what else I can check? Alright, I guess I asked the wrong question. Is there a way to probe the sound card so that I can figure out where in the software chain the problem is?

Re: How to install F16 KDE 64 bit on an XPS 17.
I just upgraded a server from F16-KDE 32 bit to F16-KDE 64 bit. Its an i5 Sandybridge, just like my laptop. I had the same problems as with my laptop. I installed 64 bit F16-KDE right from the DVD over the F16 32 bit installation that was on it previously. It installed fine, but wouldn't complete the reboot after inputting a user, etc. I tried several different ways to get around it, to no avail. Finally, I installed 64 bit F15-KDE from the live ISO. Then I did a full yum update on it. Then I did an upgrade to it, including selecting to update the boot table using the SAME 64 bit F16 DVD that didn't work previously. It (64 bit F16-KDE) then booted up fine. I'm running yum update on it as we speak. There has to be a bug somewhere in the 64 bit F16-KDE live and 64 bit F16 KDE DVD disks that they don't boot on 2 different machines. I hope this helps someone. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Often when I need to sync things up, I ssh to all machines in the LAN and can do more than one within 60 seconds. Normal traffic is expected to be near nil, but the blast of everyone ssh's to everyone does happen. I’d imagine adding --src ! 192.168.0.0/24 after --dport 22 would do this (replace 192.168.0.0 with whatever’s appropriate for your LAN). Alternatively, you could set up a .ssh/config file (on the client) with ControlMaster and ControlPath (and possibly ControlPersist) set. This allows you to have multiple sessions multiplexed over the one SSH connection: later connections “piggyback” on the first and won’t fire these rules (because they won’t be new TCP/IP connections, so no SYN gets sent). As a bonus, later sessions don’t have to do the same security handshakes, so they become ready much more quickly, which is noticeable on an Atom. man ssh_config for details, or for an example: Host rawhide HostName rawhide.example.com User james ControlMaster auto ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p ControlPersist 60 ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes Protocol 2 Hope this helps, James.

try to extract Source0 as a tarball. Access your individual script files
via the 'SourceX:' tags and the %{SOURCEx} macros for those tags.

fan control in F16 (KDE)
I've got an XPS17. (i7, 16 GB, nVidia 555, etc.) I'm running F16. It works well. My XPS17 will sit perfectly quiet for a minute or more while I'm working. But then the fan will cut in for 10-15 seconds and its pretty loud. I find it annoying. What I would rather have is the fan running at a low level all the time. What is the easiest way to set this up in F16/KDE ? Thanks PS; it seems like a silly question AND if you google there is lots of talk about fancontrol, etc. However, I was about to embark on a bunch of ACPI scripts prior to asking the list about how to disable the lid switch and then decided to ask the list. Lo and behold, it could be done in KDE without any scripting at all. I'm in the same boat with this question. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

LVM boot issue?
I have a workstation with 2 Seagate SATA drives, the older a 320 with F7 and data, now used for backups, and a current 640G with F14. Recently the F14 has refused to boot. I am able to boot F7 from the older drive but not to much effect, it is so far out of sync with my work that it's pretty much useless. At boot time on the F14 drive I get: 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active 2 logical volumes in volume group "vg_davehost" now active [OK] Checking filesystems /dev/mapper/vg_davehost-lv_root contains a file system with errors, check forced. /dev/mapper/vg_davehost-lv_root: [spinner for progress %] Then at some time [around 2.5% checked] the system reboots back into the same situation and the sequence repeats. I have booted from a F16 live CD and can see the data on the drive but can not seem to get enough access to copy off the data or get around the check or get the check to correct the error. Also I don't know the result of the check and don't see how to get more info. I can verify that the drive is /dev/sde and that sde2 has my data, but I don't know how to mount it in a readable way even though nautilus apparently does.

Make a tarball, let that be extracted as explained in the examples in the setup phase, leave the build phase empty and than in the install phase copy the files to their destination.

Once upon a time, Terry Polzin said: > OK to ntpd wans't installed by default, that's just silly. RTFRelease notes: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_Sysadmin.html#id2975208 3.8.2. Chrony Fedora 16 uses Chrony as the default Network Time Protocol (NTP) client. Chrony is designed to work well even on systems with no permanent network connection (such as laptops), and is capable of much faster time synchronisation than standard ntp. Chrony has several advantages when used in systems running on virtual machines, such as a larger range for frequency correction to help correct quickly drifting clocks, and better response to rapid changes in the clock frequency. It also has a smaller memory footprint and no unnecessary process wakeups, improving power efficiency.

I think what you're confused about is how systemd deals with legacy SysV init files. Yes, there is no "physical" network.service file. I don't know what exactly it is, but to call it something, it's a "virtual" service file that SystemD creates for every legacy SysV init file. So any file in /etc/init.d get's a virtual .service equivalent.

Hello, I am developing a c based application which needs authenticating the user as a root- user. I'm wiling to provide the responsibility of password verification to fedora os, as in the case of built in applications such as NFS,HTTP. I would prefer a similar interface for authentication as provided by NFS while opening it. Is there any possibility to do it? By giving a link to a system related file or creating a file in some location so that when i open my application authentication of the root user should be done in a similar way as that of NFS or HTTP.

In my case, I could never log onto the new F16 install, graphically. Just got that crappy "oh no" graphic, with no way to get any further. However, I was lucky in that I could CTRL+ALT+F2 (or one of the other terminals), and log into a command line. I let a "yum update" do its thing, and after that I could log into a graphical system. That sort of thing would be one of my first things to try if a new install wasn't working right. Certainly not reformatting and re-installing, this isn't Windows. If the install seemed to work without any errors, the first time around, then I'd be fairly sure that the install had worked. And that another attempt wouldn't be any different. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

And yet jpeg images look excellent. I'll state the obvious, despite your comment about JPEGs (because their content can disguise this), it can still be an issue, and is easily overlooked when changing a monitor: Is X running at the right size for your monitor (the screen height and width in pixels), and using the right resolution (dots per inch) for the correct generation of graphics (including text). The wrong screensize means the monitor will (badly) scale the picture up to fill the screen. And the wrong resolution results in poor text rendering, which deliberately fuzzes the edges of fonts to hide the poor resolution of monitors (giving you smoother, instead of jagged edges). This antialiasing has to be done at the right resolution to do a good job of it. Also, certain fonts just don't do antialiasing well. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

I have no idea what that abbreviation refers to, but the (obvious) spam (simply by looking at the list of recipients) you replied to was not received as base64 encoded, here. Nor should it really be a problem. Only the most ancient or dysfunctional mail clients would not be able to handle base64 encoded messages.

yum commands at reboot
Suggestions for improvement welcome. For a particular test machine. 1: crontab -e @reboot yum --randomwait=5 clean metadata | yum --randomwait=10 createrepo /my/local/repo 2: or: @reboot yum --disablerepo=local --randomwait=10 clean metadata I think no. 2 looks the tidier. I don't want to test until, some feedback.
