Yeah, well, when you break networking by not broadcasting the SSID, what do you expect? SSID is a normal, and expected, part of wireless networking. Hiding it is not a security solution, of any kind.

It can span multiple disk drives, so they appear as one huge drive. And it can be expanded across even more drives, if you add them, in the future. That gives you the advantage of what appears to be a huge drive. It gives you the disadvantage that a failure of any drive could result in the total loss of everything on all drives. If you only have one drive, and if you never intend to try that spanning trick, I recommend that you do not use LVM. It just adds yet another problem to a computer system. Now, for ext4. It's a filing system. The partitions inside an LVM can use ext4, and the partitions inside a single hard drive partitioned in the traditional way can use ext4. If you're happy with ext4, don't want to try another filing system, stick with it. If considering another filing system, think about why: Is it faster? Are their other advantages? Are their any advantages over your current one? And think about why not: Is there any point in changing? Are there disadvantages? Are there any known flaws?

On the RAID1 disks on this machine, as on my laptop, I installed grub on /boot (/dev/sda2) rather than on the MBR. (On my laptop, it's because I wanted to preserve the Windows MBR, but on this machine, it was just force of habit.) So /dev/sda2 is the active partition. So is it safe to install grub2 on /dev/sda2 (say) or should it be installed on the MBR? Or is there a way to tell of the former is OK for a particular configuration? If the latter, what partition should I make active?

You can put an exclude= line in /etc/yum.conf to exclude packages from being updated, or you can yum erase the fedora gthumb rpm. Both of these techniques have problems of course if there are dependencies involved that prevent other things from being updated or force other packages to be removed.

How to use a sound theme?
How do I go about switching to a different sound theme? Gnome's control center only lets me choose one of four lame sounds from /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts.

X and file permissions
Is it possible that X somehow makes a file inaccessible not when it's running but only when it (X) is shown? Here's what happens: In a virtual console, $ cat /dev/snd/controlC0 [just to see if it's accessible] returns cat: /dev/snd/controlC0: File descriptor in bad state (in a VC) so the file is accessible - that's all that matters now. (Of course, it's not an ordinary file, and given its permissions: crw-rw+ 1 root audio 116, 5 Jan 20 02:34 /dev/snd/controlC0 and that the user I'm doing this as is not in the audio group, I find this result surprising - but since it's the one I want, I won't worry about it for now :-)) However, if I do $ sleep 10 ; cat /dev/snd/controlC0 and then switch to X (which has been running all the time), wait for more than 10 secs and switch back, I see cat: /dev/snd/controlC0: Permission denied (Meanwhile, the permissions are still crw-rw+) It doesn't matter if X is just an X server, or a full xfce desktop. And lsof doesn't show anything that's using /dev/snd/controlC0 All this is interesting for me because I'm trying to find out the reason why sound works in a VC but not in X, and strace led me in this direction. I'd appreciate any insight or hints about this.

Totem problems following FedUp upgrade
Yesterday my desktop PC was running Fedora 17 and I was able to watch all kinds of video files using totem. This morning I used FedUp to upgrade the PC to Fedora 18 and since then I haven't found a video file that totem can play successfully. I always get an error message that says: Videos requires[sic] additional plugins for this operation The following plugins are required: * MPEG Video decoder * MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder Do you want to search for these now? [Cancel] [Search] I've tried pressing the search button but it just says that it can't find the required plugins. It looks to me like I have fc18 versions of all of the relevant RPMs $ rpm -qa | grep -i gstreamer gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.13-5.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-base-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31-5.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.23-2.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-3.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.8-3.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer1-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-5.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-13.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.0.4-1.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-python-0.10.22-3.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-tools-0.10.36-2.fc18.x86_64 phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.6.2-2.fc18.x86_64 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.8.7-1.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.36-2.fc18.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras-0.10.23-13.fc18.x86_64 All of which leads me to two questions. 1/ How can I get back the ability to play videos? 2/ How did the FedUp upgrade manage to break this?

Totem in F18 is based on GStreamer v1.0.x, while you've listed also packages for GStreamer v0.10.x.

F17 -> F18 Laptop Problems
I've been trying to upgrade my laptop from Fedora 17 to Fedora 18 and it hasn't been going well. First I tried to use FedUp. FedUp downloaded all of the files it required. I rebooted and selected the upgrade option. I got the progress meter, but after only about thirty seconds the system rebooted and I was left with the same grub options as before the upgrade. No option to boot into Fedora 18 and no option to retry the upgrade. I booted into Fedora 17 and tried again with very similar results. However I've since noticed that something has changed as when I now run a "yum update" it tries to update over 2,000 RPMs to the Fedora 18 versions. This seems to go into an infinite loop of dependency resolution - so I killed it. I then decided that I'd download an installation DVD and try to upgrade from that. I burnt a DVD and the media test completed successfully, but I'm only offered the option to install Fedora, not to upgrade my existing installation. That's not such a problem. I have my /home directory on a separate partition, so what I've done before is to reinstall from scratch and reuse the /home partition (so I keep all of my data). But the new Anaconda partitioning UI is confusing me and I can't work out how to tell it to reuse the /home partition but reformat all the other Linux partitions and use them for the new installation. So currently I'm booted back into my Fedora 17 installation (that thinks it might be Fedora 18) pondering what my next move would be. I suppose I could just backup all of my data and trash the existing installation. But I'd be disappointed if I can't work out a way to reuse the /home partition. Can anyone suggest a way forward for me?

By default no. The client can of course have its own folder structure, but the two are entirely independent. Many clients also allow caching of server folders locally (usually on a per-folder basis). > emails are on server because it is the server. but as i recall, they > are downloaded to client and deleted from server if so configured. I don't know of any client that does that. You may be thinking of POP, which is entirely different.

That's because standardized server-side filtering never really got going and isn't well-supported by any widely-used client. However in this case we're specifically talking about Gmail, not about some random IMAP server. Although the Gmail implementation of IMAP is slightly quirky, the server-side filtering is effective. The only thing is you have to set it up via the web interface. poc -- 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?

By default no. The client can of course have its own folder structure, but the two are entirely independent. Many clients also allow caching of server folders locally (usually on a per-folder basis). IMAP is schizophrenic. On one hand, it's general design seems to be oriented towards letting clients cache server mail content. But on the other hand, IMAP does several things that make reliable caching of mail content pretty much impossible. This is why, in general, IMAP clients over the years have been crap. IMAP IDLE has been mentioned here. IDLE is a piggy-back extension. It's not part of the base protocol. Clients cannot assume the server supports it. Therefore, IMAP clients have to support the case of IDLE not being available, and there are servers that do not implement it. Here's the problem. Not just with IMAP, but with any other kind of a client/server protocol with optional bits that are glued on as an afterthought. It takes a certain amount of effort to implement anything. Therefore, faced with the option of implementing and supporting just the base minimum, versus the base minimum and some optional bits, and then having the overhead of supporting multiple ways of accomplishing the same task, in perpetuity, you can pretty much draw your own conclusion as to how this is going to play out in the long run. > emails are on server because it is the server. but as i recall, they > are downloaded to client and deleted from server if so configured. I don't know of any client that does that. You may be thinking of POP, which is entirely different. The whole point of IMAP is to keep the master copy on the server where it's accessible from anywhere, and use local copies only as a cache. Unfortutunately, as I mentioned, IMAP makes it pretty much impossible to implement this reliably, and efficiently. IDLE lets the client synchronize itself with the server only while it is connected to it. But, IDLE has nothing that lets the client synchronize itself with the server after it goes offline, then get reconnected later. After connecting and opening a folder, an IMAP client has no efficient means of synchronizing its cache of the folder's content with what's on the server right now. The IMAP client has no means of determining a precise list of changes to the mailbox on the server since the IMAP client was logged on last time. There are several kinds of changes that the IMAP client /can/ quickly square away, but the protocol does not support actual syncing. It's not possible. IMAP is not designed for it. I could get into the history of IMAP, how it came out, and the political reasons for that, but having my two remaining wisdom teeth pulled out would probably be a more pleasant experience. > years ago, when i was using imap, i filtered on my client, not on > server. That's because standardized server-side filtering never really got going and isn't well-supported by any widely-used client.

Right now, Thunderbird shows that this extension has been downloaded only 37182 times. It's not clear to me whether that's the lifetime of the extension, or just for the latest version. Even if it's only the latest version, which was posted three months ago, you have to admit, this is insignificant. And, Thunderbird is the most visible client listed on Sieve's page. the problem is that there are too many servers to supporting sieve so why should someone add it as default for the clients and you are one of the server-side developers not interested I'm not sure I follow your logic. According to the description of the Thunderbird extension, the extension is not a client-side implementation, but it manages Sieve on the server side. If that were the case, and Sieve's mind-share on the server side was, indeed, as much as you suggest, I would've thought that Sieve's server- side's popularity would translate to a much higher download rate. As far as Courier-IMAP goes, I don't recall anyone offering a patch, and me capriciously rejecting it. I certainly don't have any particular interest in working on Sieve myself, at this time. But that doesn't mean that, at some point in the future, that won't change, or that I'll ignore someone's well- written Sieve code. The authpipe module in courier-authlib was written by someone else.

It's a *false* *belief* that hiding it does you any good. Your router still announces itself, it just doesn't show up with a name on the list.

fedora-upgrade from F17->F18 (mostly successful, but some issues)
Dear friends, I recently upgraded from F17 to F18. I chose not to use fedup but rather I used fedora-upgrade, which is basically a wraparound around yum upgrade (from the documentation). Everything went through reasonably smoothly except for the following messages: Font messages such as: Updating : gnu-free-mono-fonts-20120503-3.fc18.noarch 1322/3028 Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-khmeros-base.conf", line 29: Having multiple values in isn't supported and may not work as expected Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-khmeros-base.conf", line 41: Having multiple values in isn't supported and may not work as expected Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-khmeros-base.conf", line 53: Having multiple values in isn't supported and may not work as expected Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-0-nhn-nanum-gothic.conf", line 8: Having multiple values in isn't supported and may not work as expected and the only selinux-policy-targeted message: Updating : selinux-policy-targeted-3.11.1-67.fc18.noarch 1454/3028 libsepol.print_missing_requirements: matahari's global requirements were not met: bool init_systemd (No such file or directory). libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed (No such file or directory). /usr/sbin/semodule: Failed! Other than that, everything went through fine. Upon reboot, I did not see the F18 grub splash screen, but the F17 one. I did not get the SLiM display manager but text. startx gets me to the desktop (LXDE). Other errors: 1. pcmanfm does not automount disks, indeed, I get the following errors when I start it up: (pcmanfm:605): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is not supported (pcmanfm:605): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: :1:6: Expected a valid selector (pcmanfm:605): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: :7:7: Expected a valid selector error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: The metadata does not have a thumbnail property error: Invalid MS property section calling convert '/home/maitra/.thumbnails/normal/79594e24b205982ddb040918b50b267d.png.DWF3QW' +matte -thumbnail 128x128 png:'/home/maitra/.thumbnails/normal/79594e24b205982ddb040918b50b267d.png' error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer error: No Zip trailer 2. batti gives me no response and the following error: ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.80:/org/freedesktop/UPower: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) Neither UPower nor DeviceKit.Power could be initialized!

What were they thinking when they threw away a perfectly good installer and inflicted this new User Interface on us? Whoever decided to reinvent disk partitioning and embed it in this installer should be taken out to the woodshed and whupped. Has everyone forgotten the dictum that each program should do one thing and do it well? Reinventing disk partitioning here is a total disaster. It isn't nearly as good as fdisk, gparted and a host of other perfectly usable programs. After reading this, and the first reply to it, I will cease trying to install fc18 on my laptop. "New for the sake of being different" is a way of life in Fedora, and I find that the need to have the latest is the only objective being given value, while no thought is being given to preserving the value of experience gained by current users. I suspect that most users of any new release are already users of some previous release, why change to some new way of doing things which is (a) less functional, (b) offers benefit only or mostly to new installations, and (c) appears to lack even a hint of convenience to those who have been installing Fedora (and before that Redhat) for decades. I have been unable to use my existing partitions as I wish. The chorus sings "Amen!!" I have a pretty simple laptop configuration: /dev/sda1/boot.5 GB /dev/sda2Windows 3.7 GB /dev/sda3extended /dev/sda5 / 20. GB encrypted /dev/sda6 /f16 20. GB encrypted /dev/sda7 /home 109. GB encrypted /dev/sda8 swap1.5 GBencrypted Note that /boot is not encrypted but all the other Linux partitions are. There are two root partitions that I use in a ping-pong fashion to hold the latest and prior Fedora systems. The boot menu allows either kernel to be booted, which used to be easy with grub, but has become nightmarishly difficult with grub2. Either kernel uses the same /home and swap. My setup exactly. Installing F18, I intended to switch /dev/sda6 to /, and save /dev/sda5 as /f17. But the installer wouldn't allow it. I will repeat here the setup and selection process to document the failures. At this point, I'll stop saying "Me, too" and just say that this is the unfriendliest and least intuitive partitioning setup I have ever used, thinking that putting a GUI on an ill-designed process makes it somehow easy to use is a perfect example of "lipstick on a pig" thinking. When I entered the Storage/Installation Destination (with no disks selected) I selected the sole disk available for installation, an ATA WDC WD1600BEVE-1, and a big blue area became highlighted. I checked the box saying "Encrypt my data, I'll set a passphrase later.". Then clicked on "Full disk summary and options...". This showed a box listing the one and only disk, and informed me that of the 152.62 GB capacity, only 1.89 MB was free space. That was correct; the disk was fully partitioned and previously allocated to appropriate uses. I clicked on "Set as Boot Device" just to be sure... then Close. There was nothing left to click on except Continue, so I Continued. A warning presented: I needed 3.36 GB to install Fedora but there's only 276 MB free. But there's 152.62 GB Space in selected disks reclaimable by deleting (!) partitions. Well thats nice, but I don't want to delete any partitions. My existing partitions are fine; I just want to reuse one of them! So now what? There are three checkable boxes: Cancel & add more disks (Not likely; it's a laptop) Modify software selection (I haven't even selected any yet) Reclaim space (Not appealing, but its all that's left) But I'll check the box: "I don't need help; let me customize disk partitioning.". That sounds like exactly what I want. I'm asked to enter a passphrase for my encrypted disks. (I'd better type this carefully, to match what's already in use.) I'm now presented with a list of existing filesystems that I can remove to free up space. However, they are not identified either by partition name (/dev/sda1) or current role (/boot). I have two identically sized root partitions, /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6. One contains the old F16 that I want to discard; the other F17 that I want to keep. Should I guess? 50:50 chance? Right? I have to guess. I highlight one and mark it for deletion. Then click "Reclaim space". (BTW, I have no way to know exactly when this deletion will occur. I'm repeating this exercise to record this disastrous experience, intending to stop just before committing the changes. I'll be really pissed if I lose my mostly completed new F18 installation.) Surprise! I'm popped back to the main menu. The "Installation Destination" item has no warning icon, so the installer seems perfectly happy with the 20 GB space I've just freed up. But it has ne

As I understand it I must use FedUp in fedora 17 to upgrade to Fedora 18 since the install DVD can no longer upgrade. If I use FedUp will it work in my setup, ie. the software will know to update its boot code in the /boot partition and not in the MBR ? Do I have to re-install the Fedora 18 grub2 in the /boot partition or does FedUp do it for me ? Are there any other upgrade issues for my setup? upgrades typically do NOT touch GRUB at all if you want to update GRUB you have to do this always at your own I don't want to update grub2. I just want the update to work with whatever grub2 is being installed. means: he update bring only the new packages and commands So if a new grub2 is installed I need to re-initialize it ? I will follow the instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2.

Where is the detailed docs on firewalld?
If we are expected to switch to firewalld we need to understand in detail how it works. So far I see a GUI and empty XML files with little information about how to do anything other than run firewall-cmd to add or delete specific rules. This really needs documentation so we can understand how it works and maybe compare situations with iptables that we are to migrate from so that we all do not have to figure this out from scratch. I'm not really complaining, just think we need more information so we can move forward and hopefully not make mistakes.

Clicking on the configure button does nothing unless you select an entry from the drop down list. You don't even get a message saying you need to select a wireless connection. Yeah, well, when you break networking by not broadcasting the SSID, what do you expect? Actually "missing capability formerly working in previous releases" is not quite the same thing as "breaking networking," and on a related note, broadcasting an SSID which does not contain printing characters in YOUR character set isn't "not broadcasting the SSID." Yes, I have slightly broadened the discussion, that was what some WAP I have used did when no SSID was provided. SSID is a normal, and expected, part of wireless networking. Hiding it is not a security solution, of any kind. There is no "a security solution," layered security includes many things, no one of which can be considered a solution. When this discussion came up the years ago I actually set up two retired unsecured 801.11b WAP (not connected to anything important), one called NODE41 and one using all blanks. They were next to a college dorm. NODE41 got over hiding SSID, though before canned scripts and strong encryption there may have been some benefit, just a data point. Hiding it is an idiocy promulgated by dimwits who have no idea what they're talking about. If my points are so weak that I have to resort to calling names, I avoid making them. That's why I actually checked to see if there was any difference. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- 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?

The new installer does not give me an option to format ext4 (but I can keep it as is, I guess). How does one convert from ext4 to lvm? Is there any benefit to moving to lvm? you should really read some basic documentations ext4 is a filesystem btrfs is a filesystem lvm is NOT a filesystem you have ext4, btrfs, whatever FS ON TOP of LVM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_volume_management for most private environments there is no real benefit of LVM spread LVM over more than one disk with no RAID under it is simply dumb becasue if ONE of the disks goes down you have a problem Your point about loss of data is well taken, but having data on any storage without RAID for error recovery is a risk, having data on just one machine is a risk. The admin has to balance cost and benefit, for both hardware and administrative learning curve considered as "cost." The benefit of LVM is being able to easily move data to other physical devices and expand the size of storage. LVM can do RAID by itself, although I have always created arrays with mdadm because I'm most familiar with doing it that way. Note that the user interface to LVM, bad as it is, is still much easier to master than adding drives to a RAID array and growing filesystems. In my opinion,the fewer commands you need to use the less likely you are to make a mistake. While there are unusual use cases in which btrfs is significantly faster than ext4, and btrfs provides some capabilities not in ext4, most users will see little benefit from it. The problems btrfs was created to address are not common. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- 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?
