mcelog.service
Hi, is the mcelog.service of any use to me? There's a package mcelog-1.0-0.6.6e4e2a00.fc18.x86_64 installed and listed as a leave by package-cleanup, the service is running; /var/log/mce doesn't exist (which is probably good).

new selinux alert on F19
Hi all!
I've been running F19 (alpha and now beta) on my Acer Aspire One D255E
netbook for a few weeks now.
just today when I booted up I got this alert I've not gotten before.
I know how to teach selinux not to alert for that, but I don't know if
it's an action that SHOULD be allowed or not.
It also give another alert, apparently at boot, for complaining that
/usr/sbin/lightdm tried to create file .dmrc.0GT8WW, presumably in
my home directory, though it didn't explicitly say.
Wondering if these are bugs/features introduced in recent updates...
I'd appreciate advice on what to do here.
thanks!
Fred

The alert says:
The source process: /usr/libexec/accounts/daemon
Attempted this access: read
on this directory: /var/log
Here's the details output:
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon from read access on the
directory /var/log.
* Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ***
If you believe that accounts-daemon should be allowed read access on the log
directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep accounts-daemon /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Split memdisk out of syslinux package?
I've just been experimenting with ways to backup and
update my BIOS without windows, without a floppy,
and without burning actual CD media. Google led
me to this:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#GRUB2
It works great. I was able to make this grub2 menu
entry:
menuentry Boot Freedos 1.1 {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,msdos1'
linux16 /syslinux/memdisk
initrd16 /syslinux/FD11-144.IMG
}
It boots a freedos floppy image and from there I can
access a FAT USB stick which has the BIOS utility
and images on it.
However, to get that /syslinux/memdisk boot image,
I had to download the syslinux rpm and use rpm2cpio
to extract it - all the info I could find in the
fedora docs seem to indicate that actually installing
the syslinux rpm will result in getting switched to
the syslinux boot loader.
It would be handy if this memdisk bit were a
separate package that wouldn't interfere with
my grub2 boot loader, but I could just use
independently with grub2 like this.

I don't think that's the case. Specifically, the bootloader will be updated when the syslinux-extlinux RPM is installed if and only if /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf or /boot/extlinux.conf exist, which they won't unless you've created them. The _base_ syslinux package has no such logic at all. On the other hand, switching to extlinux as your bootloader isn't a bad idea. On the other, other hand, I'm all for better subpackaging in the syslinux RPM.

converting text to pdf
Hi, is there any good way to get the paper to be in landscape as well as the text, for pdf files created with paps --cpi 20 --font=DejaVu Sans Mono --landscape somefile.txt |ps2pdf - somefile.pdf This prints the text in landscape, and the paper shows in portrait so you need to turn your head when displaying the file with xpdf :( I'm currently using enscript which requires to recode UTF-8..latin1 the files before using enscript on them, and apparently enscript only understands AFM fonts. The result isn't as pretty, but at least the paper is in landscape, too. Landscape is important because the files to convert are basically emacs org mode tables, and I can't do them in LaTeX because tables that could go over multiple pages are a major pita with LaTeX. Maybe they can more reasonably be converted by emacs itself in batch mode and I just haven't found out how to do that? -- Fedora 18 -- 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?

Re: converting text to pdf
Well I don't know what do you need exactly, but in my own experience, the best way for configure a document right and get it in pdf is to compose it with LaTeX, but if you're not familiarised with it perhaps will be better to use Scribus or if you onle need a couple of sheets, with inkscape or gimp will be enough. Good luck. -- 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?

You could install cups-pdf then use any tool you like to print anything you like to the virtual pdf printer. -- 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?

I should have said that it is too far from the server for a direct USB connection. Incidentally, why would I need to use Samba? Samba would be useful if you had windoze machines on the network that wanted to use the printer, assuming wanted to share it out from a linux box. I haven't found any problem printing from Windows machines on the LAN without using Samba.

DRC
Hi, since we're stuck with pulseaudio, how do I enable DRC? If pulseaudio can't do that, how would I get rid of pulseaudio? System wide DRC would be the only useful feature it would have for me. -- Fedora 18 -- 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?

That would require me to have cups running which I otherwise don't need at all: huge waste of resources. BTW, how would I control where cups puts the pdf files it creates? Could I do something like 'cat textfile.org | lpr -PPDF -o output.pdf' --- and preferably something equivalent inside a perl script? -- Fedora 18 -- 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?

Nope. Like virtually everything else, it puts the files where
the linux developers think they obviously belong (until the next
developers come along and change where they go :-).

Whenever I print to file, cups asks me where I want it.
That said, I think the default is ~/Documents/out.pdf .
The config file for cups-pdf is /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf, you can
configure the output file by the key Out in this file. The default is
Out /var/spool/cups-pdf/${USER}. For myself, I'm using
Out ${DESKTOP}/PDF, so the output goes to the direcrtory PDF on the
desktop.
