What do you mean by "sources"?  Are you using Debian terminology for
repositories?  If yes, then "/etc/yum.repos.d/" is indeed the right
place.

If it is indeed a repo mirror problem, the output of the following
should help.

$ yum repolist

Check if you the "baseurl" line is commented out in the enabled repo
files in /etc/yum.repos.d/.  For more info you can look at
`man yum.conf'.

criminal use of linux

[Skunk Worx]

Uh oh...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/25/microsoft_patent_deal_amdocs/

"Microsoft has claimed since 2007 that more than 235 of its patents are 
violated by the open source operating system Linux, while critics claim 
Redmond has a cynical eye on the project as another source of revenue."


Between the "Android Tax" and this, indemnification licensing appears to 
be the only way to protect linux users from themselves.


Oracle Linux Network : $119 per system, per year.
RedHat Desktop : $49 per system, per year (minimum).
RedHat Server  : $349 per system, per year (minimum).

O.K., will do. I've got a pretty busy lab here at the moment so next
time I boot the laptop in question, I will do so but they are basically
ERRNO 12, timed out & 401 as yum switches between mirrors trying to get
the required files.

Who ever said that was the point of a release name? It never really
had a purpose that we can now look back on and say it failed. It is
just a small thing our community has always done for fun. I find it
hard to tell someone else to stop having a little bit of fun even when
I might not personally find it fun and think it has little or no
value. It isn't any skin off my nose so I say let those who find this
fun have their fun.

I've seen a number of people using the code name, both here and on 
fedoraforum.org.  Until F 17, however, the code names were mostly 
ignored and I, for one, would be just as happy if people went back to 
ignoring them, especially when the code names are so juvenile.

You are not the only one  But, the people that do the actual work to 
produce the releases seem to enjoy the exercise.

I personally don't care and feel it is a waste of time as is discussing changes 
to the process.  But since I'm not part of that group I know my opinion holds 
no weight.

IMO, it is better to copy/paste the errors and show them to people.   This will 
better enable people comment what is going on.

Those repos are not "standard" repos.

Remove the fault repo file from /etc/yum.repos.d

Change Fedora Releases source

[Phil Dobbin]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi, all.

I have both Beefy on a desktop machine & a laptop. On the desktop
variety, `yum update` works fine but on the laptop it's always throwing
errors (timing out, 401s, etc).

The laptop was upgraded from 12 -> 15 -> 16 -> 17 using preupgrade as &
when the new releases became available & the desktop was a clean install
from a Live CD.

What I'd like to do is check that the laptop is using the same sources
for Fedora Releases as the desktop & if, as I suspect, it's not, change
it so as not to encounter these errors.

I've tried Googling on the subject but I'm just seeing results for
`/etc/yum.repos` which are not the source files with the relevant
information I'll need so if anyone can point me to the relevant config
files, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

  Phil...

I don't know anything about WDVault.  But, it sounds like a "security" system.

That looks like what I want. I'll need to see if it is per interface 
(which would be better) or per connection.


Thanks.

I think the complete command that would satisfy the OP is:

ls -C --color=always | less -R

NetworkManager runs dhclient with the configfile set to one it
generates insteqad of the normal one used by dhclient. For the first

So you have to choose: either you can power on or you can power off. :-)

More seriously, I suppose your Fedora already has all the updates, is there
any BIOS update available for your pc?

Do you have any hints about where the problem could be? (try removing "rhgb", 
"quiet"
and so on from the grub command line so you can see all the kernel output).

Shouldn't this be "i" (immutable) instead of "1"? I didn't see an
attribute like that in the man page.

Interesting though... I've been running linux exclusively for several
years now but never used or needed that tool.

It's really difficult to get rid of NetworkManager in Fedora, I've 
tried.

So here's a solution:

Set up /etc/resolv.conf just as you want. Then

chattr +1 /etc/resolv.conf

This prevents NetworkManager from messing with it ever again.

Modifying nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf ?

[Bruno Wolff III]

My short term goal is to set up resolv.conf the way I want without 
disabling network manager.
I set up a config file for dhclient, but it turns out that NetworkManager 
runs dhclient with the configfile set to one it generates insteqad of 
the normal one used by dhclient. For the first wireless interface the 
file is named /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf .


Is there a way to control what is in that file using NetworkManager 
configuration?

Are you refering to the Intel HD audio chipsets issue?  I don't think
so, because I haven't had any problems with audio in quite a while.
Moreover I think my hardware was not one of the affected ones:

  description: Audio device
  product: 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio
  vendor: Intel Corporation

As I mentioned in my earlier posts; it seemed like a file system issue,
but then I'm no expert.  Would interesting to know what was causing the
problem though.  Maybe I'll reboot to the older kernel when I have some
time and see if I can replicate it.

Binding mouse wheel scroll and cursor keys in screen

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi,

I want to bind mouse wheel scroll and cursor keys with modifier keys in
screen but I am not sure what key code or termcap capability to
use. This is what I have tried so far with no luck.

For mouse wheel scroll:

  bindkey -k SF copy
  bindkey -k SR copy
  bindkey -k sf copy
  bindkey -k sr copy
  bindkey -k cs copy
  bindkey -k kF copy
  bindkey -k kR copy

The following works for now: bindkey -k k8 copy (for Fn 8)

Cursor keys:

+ Here I expect to switch window with C-o 
  bind \033[C next
  bind \033[D prev
+ Here I expect to switch window with C-
  bindkey -d ^[[1;5D prev
  bindkey -d ^[[1;5C next
+ This one was just to see if binding arrow keys work. I expected just
   to switch windows.
  bindkey -d ^[[D prev
  bindkey -d ^[[C next

This works however:

  bindkey -k kr next
  bindkey -k kl prev

What am I missing here? Thanks for any pointers,

I see  Well, you seem to have F15 stuff left overwhich seems to be 
giving you headaches in what you are trying to do.   It would help to know what 
your are doing and how your are doing it and copy/pasting the information.  
Otherwise, everyone will just be guessing.  Some people are better at guessing 
than others.  I'm not so good at it.

I don't know anything about WDVault.  But, it sounds like a "security" system.  
It has been my experience that any software included with disks or USB Memory 
is MS Windows stuff and thus not of value in the Fedora environment.

you will..

So I have a 320GB HD that has corporate data on it, and I need to acess

on it that's suposed to keep the data secure, well it works, because when I

It sounds like you are trying to upgrade from F16 to F17?  Via what method?

And you have F15 stuff still on your F16 system?

Maybe a good idea would be to first run yum distro-sync   And find whatever 
else is hanging around from F15.

Re: Apache2 directory listing problem F16

If you copy, the files get the right context based on the filepath for
where they're copied to.  i.e. If you cp homepage.html /var/www/html/
the homepage.html file will be given normal contexts for /var/www/html/
(which are the right ones to webserve your files).

If you move it, then the original contexts of the file go with the copy.
If you created the file outside of the webserving directory tree, it
will keep those non-webserving contexts.  But a  move of a working
webservable file between places within /var/www/html won't be a problem,
as it'll already have the right contexts, whether that be moving between
directories, or just moving the file for a rename.

Wouldn't -R work better then -r?

Fedora 17 cannot boot on my pc...

[Georgios Petasis]

Hi all,

I am facing a problem booting Fedora 17: the pc freezes unless I use 
"acpi=off" in kernel parameters, in grub.
If I use acpi=off, fedora boots and works ok, but cannot power off the 
pc after a shutdown.


How can I solve this issue?

George

sorry, I forgot to answer this! I have not checked yet (haven't had
that drive with me in the last weeks, that's why), but thinking to
what kind of files were being transferred, you're very likely right,
and I just need a bigger drive.

Thanks to everybody who helped!

I would consider it a dracut bug, if rd.md.uuid is specified and other raid
arrays are assembled in the initramfs.

I just realized you mentioned "more" and "less" in your original post

less -r outfile

Will show the colors  Is that sufficient?

OK.  In my haste, I misunderstood your needs.

What I gave you basically captures the control characters which produce the 
colors in the terminal.  So, if you "cat" the file you'll see the colors.

At the moment, I can't think of what editor would retain the colors.  :-(

I'll try to think a bit more
