Unable to hibernate fc20 system

2014-06-05 Thread Luke Nath
On fc20 with mate desktop.

Clicking System -> Shutdown

does not show the option to hibernate.

Am I missing a package? Is this a mate problem??

I suspect this is due to badly written javascript on pages that just gobbles up
resources.  In chrome I press SHIFT-ESC to get the task manager open.
Sometimes I find a tab that is using way too much CPU and or memory and
I can kill it.

thoughts on using Fedora for Dell Mobile Precision 3800 laptop

2014-06-05 Thread Ranjan Maitra
Hi,

I am considering buying the Dell Mobile Precision M3800 (with QHD+
3200×1800 resolution) for use with Fedora 20 and later. Any
thoughts/experiences with it? (I am excited about the resolution
aspect.)

http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/precision-m3800-workstation/fs


It appears to have a touchscreen (not sure if that is an option only)
but is there any use for a touchscreen on Fedora? Sorry if this is a
naive question, but I have never considered using a touchscreen device
previously.

Many thanks for any input!
Ranjan

You mean "File -> Page Preview" right?

I just tried it and I could not reproduce the problem.

No.  File -> Print... displays a page preview and some final formatting

what appears to be a recent report of this bug on the LibreOffice site:

LibreOffice envelope bug?

2014-06-05 Thread Robert G. (Doc) Savage
Trying to use LibreOffice to compose and print #6 3/4 envelopes.

Insert -> Envelope -> Format tab -> Size #6 3/4 (Personal) Envelope ->
Insert

File -> Print preview shows a Size #8 (Monarch) Envelope format, which
is the menu selection just above #6 3/4 (Personal) Envelope in the
Format tab list.

Is this a known bug? Is there a work-around?

Multiplying Dbus-daemons forcing restart

2014-06-05 Thread Rick Walker

Hi Folks,

I'm currently running 3.13.11-100.fc19.x86_64 and have had a problem
with dbus-daemons running amok on this system and even on a few earlier fedora 
revs.

If I do 'ps -ef' I get pages of 

walker   24457 1  0 15:11 ?00:00:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --fork 
--print-pid 5 --print-a

...

10) uptime
15:21:16 up 2 days, 15:15, 13 users,  load average: 0.46, 0.48, 0.49

11) ps -ef | grep dbus-daemon | wc
1031434   11738

So, in two days, I've accumulated 103 of these things.

Oh, and if I do a 'killall dbus-daemon' it locks up my desktop. 

I've searched and this seems to have happened to lots of people going
back even into 2012 or so, but I never have seen any definitive
fix.   I'm long past hoping that "the next update" will fix this
problem.

Eventually, things like firefox and exmh will fail with "can't open any
more file descriptors", "no more processes available".  Then I have to
just power cycle and start the inflationary cycle all over again. 

I'm ready to ditch gnome, ditch kde, ditch plasma, or whatever
just to get a system that will stably stay up for more than a
week or so.  Before this happened I could run for a year or more
with no problem.

Any suggestions?

I've not had the need to look directly into the file maintained by either gnome 
key ring or kde's wallet.  So, I don't know the answer to your question.

I've had similar experiences. Having 50 or more open tabs in several tab groups.
When you look at the ps output next time notices FFs memory usage. I noticed
it tends to use more and more memory over time and a a certain point it just
becomes slow. Therefor I just quit FF overy couple of days and restart it.

GTK Theme Engine not Found Error

2014-06-05 Thread Stephen Morris

Hi,
I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 on Fedora 20 from 
the rpm provided by Adobe but it won't run. Can anyone tell me what the 
following warning it produces when run from a shell?


(acroread:4395): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in 
module_path: "ia_ora"


After producing this warning acrobat produces a "File read error" dialog 
and doesn't run. I am running kde and the "ia_ora" component of the 
above message I assume is because I am using the "ia_ora_smooth" gtk 
widget set, and, I have the /usr/lib64 theme engine path that all the 
kde themes are installed into in the path list in path list in the 
widget path configuration.


Just as a slight side issue to this does anyone have any experience with 
Eclipse 4.3.2 and windowbuilder, I have an issue at the moment that when 
I click on a widget I want to add to the gui design, or try and select a 
property on an existing widget in the design, I get a dialog complaining 
of an acrobat read error displayed twice. The issue only occurs the 
first time I try this in an eclipse session. I was getting this issue 
with acrobat 9.5.1 and uninstalling that version and installing 9.5.5 
does not rectify the issue.


Any help on these issues would be much appreciated.

regards,
Steve

Yes, I saw that but since openssl-libs is the only i686 version I had expected

Previously whenever I have tried to run multiple desktop environment themes 
would get messed up like Chrome may pickup one theme and not the other and 
things like that.

Let me give it another go and see if it works fine.

Of course. I do it all the time. I also occasionally log into a
different environment than my default one just to see what it looks
like. DEs don't generally step on each other's toes even though in
theory they can.

I don't think that these problems are generally the case. Are you saying
that you don't want to see some applications that are installed on the
system on the menu of some desktop environments because they're written for
a certain toolkit? (That is, no Gnome-targetted apps available in KDE?) Why
limit yourself like that?

Updates for that issue (CVE-2014-3466) have been available for some

A while ago someone posted this method which seems to work well enough
and takes care of the dependencies without installing needless *-dev
options.  Basically you need to create the koji repo file and then use
yum to download the needed rpms automatically.

/etc/yum.repos.d/koji.repo:

[koji]
name=Koji Repo
baseurl=http://koji.fedoraproject.org/repos/f$releasever-build/latest/$basearch/
enabled=0
skip_if_unavailable=1
gpgcheck=0

and then run:

yum install openssl --enablerepo=updates-testing,koji

Run multiple desktop environment on the same system without messing up each other

2014-06-05 Thread Sudhir Khanger
Hello,

I was wondering if their is a way to have multiple desktop environment on a 
system without one messing with other. Anytime you have multiple desktop 
environment on a system they will start writing each others configuration 
files messing up with themes. Not to mention populated application menus.

Would it be possible to create different users for different desktop 
environment? Or something like that.

Thank you.
Is there a way for the user/owner to actually look at those keys without having
to bring up the network? If the keys in in the gnome keyring, I suppose it is in
some file in my home dir. How do I "view" (i.e. decrypt and view) the contents 
of that file?

Thanx a lot.

How I got Firefox 29 to not be slow.

2014-06-05 Thread linux guy
Hi people.

I realize this isn't a Fedora issue per se but I thought that being a
number of people running Fedora use FF, I'd share my experience here.

I use FF as my main browser.  My apologies to the Konqueror developers.

I do a lot of online research and it isn't uncommon for me to have 10 FF
instances running with over 50 webpages (tabs) open in total.

Lately FF has been very slow.  Probably since FF27, though at first I
didn't pay much attention.  Lately its been a huge annoyance.

I tried everything to speed it up.  Disabling disk caching, selectively
disabling various flash options, changing the graphics backends, etc.  All
to no avail.

Today I happened to stumble upon the solution to the problem.

Out of frustration I installed Chrome and began to use it.   In doing so I
completely closed all the FF instances I had open.  I've done this before,
but for whatever reason, this time was different.

I was using Chrome, doing some light browsing when I accidentally started a
FF instance.  When I did, I received a message stating that there was
already a FF instance running.  I aborted the startup.  I ran a "ps aux |
grep firefox" only to find a ghost firefox instance still running.  I
killed it.  I then restarted FF, only to find that it is now peppy once
again.

I hope this helps someone.

Just add nomemcheck arg when you boot the livecd and give it a try.

FLASH: Internet Storm Center Briefing on Today's OpenSSL Security Patches

Today, Thursday, June 05 at 12:00 PM EDT (16:00:00 UTC)

OpenSSL today released an critical update, patching 6 different
vulnerabilities, one of which can lead to remote code execution.  After
heartbleed, system administrators are rightfully nervous about any new
OpenSSL issues. In this webcast, we will discuss the impact of the
vulnerabilities patched today, how to find out if you  are vulnerable
and which systems to patch first.

Thanks for your help Trevor

I have managed to 

a) start a new server install with the software RAID I wanted - although I do 
get a worrying error on boot as posted in another thread, but it seems to 
work perfectly, even headless.

b) used sysresccd to boot the old server and using advice elsewhere on this 
list got the mount commands out of anaconda.program.log and mounted the old 
RAID partitions.

I've managed to successfully rsync off /home /etc and /root and I'm in the 
process of rsyncing the Bacula storage contents (long job as over 2TB)

The Postgresql backup and an old tgz I already had on my backup backup 
server :-)

Now it's just a case of working through each service and configuring it 
correctly. My only concern is version dependencies on the postgresql database 
and the Bacula Director config files but they're doable.

Gary,

Wow. If you are missing glibc, I am not sure I can help you. You need to
find a static mount command and cp (possibly on rescue images). If you
can do that, just suck the glibc stuff onto a flash drive with those and
move them over. From there, you should be able to start rebuilding.

Otherwise, you are correct, likely just better to copy data and
configuration information off the system and reload.

Good luck,
Trever

The install has succeeded but when I reboot I get the following:

Booting 'Fedora, with Linux 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64'

error: failure reading sector 0xfc from 'hd1'.

Press any key to continue...

However, even if I don't press any key it then boots normally.

Anyone know what this means and how serious it is?

Not sure if it was the correct thing to do but I checked the BIOS settings and 
changed some of the stuff from legacy to EFI (?) then also created /boot/efi 
and the installation is now proceeding (hopefully) correctly.

Next to work out how to boot my old server using a LIVE DVD and mount the old 
filesystems. Then sit and watch it rsync about 2GB. Yippee

If I do not create the biosboot partition I can create everything else without 
errors but when I return to the main screen I get an warning that there is an 
error checking the storage configuration. The error is:

you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device

This was the error that I google'd and got the instruction to create the 
biosboot partition at 1MB

catch 22

F19 install and custom / RAID partitioning

2014-06-05 Thread Gary Stainburn
Hi folks.

I'm building a F19 box to replace my dead Bacula server and I'm trying to 
emulate as close as possible the F17 install I did then. However, this 
install UI is different and I've got a small probem.

I've got 2 x 3TG drives sda and sdb.
I've selected both drives (sda defaulted to boot device)
Selected Standard Partitioning
I'm in manual partitioning have done

1) +Mount point = /biosboot capacity = 1MB  

got this bit by googling a previous error
partition put on sda1

2) +Mount point = /boot capacity = 50GB
Device type = RAID

/biosboot is moved to sda2

3) +Mount point = SWAP capacity = 6GB
Device type = RAID

/biosboot is moved to sda3

4) + Mount point = / capacity = 100GB
Device type = RAID

/biosboot is moved to sda4

5) + Mount point = /var/bacula
capacity = blank (default to remaining space)
Device type = RAID

At this point I press "Update settings" to store the details for the last 
partition. As soon as I press the button it goes wrong and either removes 
some of the partitions or all of them and I get the message

Storage configuration reset due to unrecoverable error. Click for details

On clicking I then get the message

Can't have overlapping partitions.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to sort this.

Thanks for the offer Trevor, I'm going to need all the help I can.

The situation is that I've currently got one open terminal session over ssh 
and can do anything that is built into BASH.  So far I've managed to 'cat' a 
number of config files and copy/paste into gvim on a separate box.

I can't run many command (even ls fails) because of missing GLIBC libraries.

The system is running on a software RAID setup with sdb being a mirror of sda.

I've pretty much decided that the server is in such a state that it's going to 
be easier to build a new one. I'm just loathed to log out my session as I 
know I won't be able to log in again, and I'm loathed to reboot to a LIVEDVD 
in case I can't mount the filesystems afterwards

The system successfully fedup from 17 to 18 but then failed and got messy 
doing 18 to 19. It now thinks the RPM's for 18 are installed but the actual 
contents of the RPM's were removed trying to clear away the 19 ones.
