Thanks in advance.


First of all, libproj.so.0 is provided by proj not k3b.  You may both the 64 
and 32 bit versions installed on your system.  I would check that you have 
it/them installed and that the symbolic link to libproj.so.0.7.0 exits.

Ed,

Thanks for the reply. If I am reading this correctly:

[paul@paul Desktop]$ ls -al /usr/lib/libproj*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 24 20:20 /usr/lib/libproj.so.0 -> 
libproj.so.0.7.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 305696 Aug  4  2013 /usr/lib/libproj.so.0.7.0

Then it looks like libproj.so.0 is installed and the symbolic link to 
libproj.so.0.7.0 exists

 From this:

[paul@paul Desktop]$ sudo yum list | grep libproj
libprojectM.x86_64 2.0.1-20.fc20 @fedora
libprojectM-devel.x86_64 2.0.1-20.fc20 @fedora
libprojectM-qt.x86_64 2.0.1-8.fc20  @fedora
libprojectM-qt-devel.x86_64 2.0.1-8.fc20  @fedora
libprojectM.i686 2.0.1-20.fc20 fedora
libprojectM-devel.i686 2.0.1-20.fc20 fedora
libprojectM-qt.i686 2.0.1-8.fc20  fedora
libprojectM-qt-devel.i686 2.0.1-8.fc20  fedora

It looks like both 64 and 32 bit versions are installed.

I am afraid I don't know how to remove the 32 bit version. All my attempts to 
use
yum remove or yum erase have been  unsuccessful. Any assistance you could 
provide
would be appreciated.


First of all, it isn't the libprojectM packages that supply libproj.so.0.

Use "yum whatprovides /usr/lib/libproj.so.0" or "yum whatprovides 
/usr/lib64/libproj.so.0" and you will get...

proj-4.8.0-5.fc20.x86_64
and
proj-4.8.0-5.fc20.i686

Having both of these installed on your system if you have 32 bit apps and 64 
bit apps that need the library.  If you are running 64 bit k3b make sure you 
have the 64 bit version of proj installed and that /usr/lib64/libproj.so.0 
exists as well as the symbolic link.

Thanks for this. The "yum whatprovides /usr/Lib64/libproj.so.0 revealed 
that somehow
the 64 bit version of proj had not been installed. With it now installed 
K3B is back functioning
properly. I don't know what caused the change, but am glad to have the 
functionality back.


Thanks for all the help.

numeric keypad craziness

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

I have a bunch of Xen VMs running an assortment of Fedora versions and I 
connect to each of them via VNC.  Each occupies an individual workspace 
in Domain-0.  Everybody shares the keyboard and mouse.  Works great.


However, on one VM the 10-key part of the keyboard, when NumLock is on, 
doesn't work correctly.  The behavior is different depending upon 
whether it is in single keypress mode or whether it has gone into 
auto-repeat mode, where it behaves correctly.


The craziness starts in single key press mode where there are various 
behaviors depending on whether it is typing into a console, an xterm, or 
a GUI window, such as this Thunderbird, and whether it is an arrow key 
or one of the named keys (Ins, Del, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn).


In all cases the named keys perform their non-NumLock action.  In GUI 
apps and the consoles the arrow keys perform their arrow action but in 
an xterm the arrow keys type a letter: 8->A, 2->B, 6->C, 4->D.


This survives reboots (the whole system) and restarts (just this VM).

For the record, each VM keyboard is set to Generic 105 key international 
layout and the NumLock key is on.


I know almost nothing about how the keyboard subsystem works.  Anybody 
have any idea where to go from here?


Thanks,
Mike Wright

Use "yum whatprovides /usr/lib/libproj.so.0" or "yum whatprovides

proj-4.8.0-5.fc20.x86_64

have the 64 bit version of proj installed and that /usr/lib64/libproj.so.0

Changing boot options through kickstart

[CLOSE Dave]

Documentation tells me that kickstart allows an --append switch to the 
bootloader command to add additional text to the GRUB2 boot line. I 
haven't experimented with this and it is unclear to me if the change 
goes only into /boot/grub2/grub.cfg or if it is also put into 
/etc/default/grub. But adding things is not my objective.

I want to delete "rhgb" and "quiet" on the boot line, preferably in both 
places. Is there any way to do that through kickstart or do I have to 
use a post-install step?

OK, thanks, all! After struggling with this a bit, I have decided to
delete Windoze and write away my forced purchase of W7 as a donation

It seems as Jörg Schilling's cdrecord is (after closing BerliOS
hosting service, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlios ) now
hosted on SourceForge ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrtools/ )
and cdrecord sources can be downloaded also there
( http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrtools/files/alpha/ ) or as part
of a larger software package 'Schily Tools' also at SF
( http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/ ).
Original historic cdrecord web site http://cdrecord.org/ still exist,
but is outdated.

I personally use cdrecord and compile the RPM packages, for F19 i386
I have them at http://www.hanzlici.cz/packages/fedora/cdrtools/fc19/
(I do not use Fedora 20 yet). But You perhaps can download and
rebuild SRPMS cdrecord package (or download source from SF and use
only my SPEC file to build RPM, etc)

Seems like this project has the potential to open a big hole
into a system's security and user's privacy :) :)


Oh, of course!  WiFi Alliance is all about making things EASY.

Safe?  Well maybe.  Of course this is probably worst than VNC, at least 
showing all around you what is on your screen.


But sometimes in meetings you kind of need it.  :(

Now I have to build a system to do builds on.

A better solution would be to use sssd for authentication. It can cache 
credentials if the server is not available.

miracast support

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am at the WiFi Alliance meeting and all the room projectors have 
miracast as the perfered projecting method.


So I go looking for miracast and fedora via google and got a few hits, 
mostly looking for support!


one project saying that Fedora 20 is 'too old'.

So is there any work for miracast support?

My solution was to create a local user with the same credentials of my
LDAP user. If the network is up, then the login gets the exported home
directory, if the network is down the local user gets a local home -
such as when I power up before I bring the VPN online.

Is there any way to switch the input there to PulseAudio? I'd look in that

I was able to get it to work, but when the console locks the password
does not work. I have it set to autologin so the issue is with ddm.

SFLPhone / Mic

[Pal, Laszlo (private)]

Hi,

I'm trying to use SFLPhone as IAX softphone on my FC20 laptop and with
my Logitech Clearchat USB headset. The output is fine and perfect, but
the input is terrible (glitches, really can't hear anything. In the same
environment Skype is perfect... The only difference I can see in the
configs Skype using pulseaudi, but SFLPhone config looks like this:

Sound manager: PulseAudio
Input: alsa_input.usb_Logitech

do you have any idea what should I change to make it work?

Thanks

My point was if the error report existed it might still not have been
useful if it wasn't coming directly from some kind of clock check.
What happens then is you get people running across this error and once
it's figured out they list the code on their website against this
problem, then you find it and fix it through the magic of google. Not
ideal, especially if you don't have alternative internet access, but
most ways of dealing with post-release problems aren't ideal.

PS, you've misspelt Microsoft. If you want to be consistent you need
to make up humorous[1] misspellings of NetworkManager and Evolution
too.

Hi Lee.

I have two machines powered by one UPS. M1 controls UPS over USB cable, 
M2 is neighboring machine.


/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf on M1 contains:
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE

NETSERVER on

NETSERVER on

This setup works for me. M1 and M2 does correct shutdown on power fail.
Maybe this helps.

I've done that, it worked fine for me.  Perhaps its more to do with your

Yum's search function was limited to a smaller set of data unless you

you try it, if you got low/no results (it's been a while since I've

But who could tell?  Because the error message is useless.  The
information mickysoft provides on their website about that error only
mentioned that you needed to set your clock.  And the plethora of
blind-leading-the-blind on internet help sites is completely unreliable
when it comes to closed source, and inadequately documented software.

Which gets back to the original poster's point:  Software authors should
make useful error message reports.  Ones that correctly identify the
fault, and allow you to take the appropriate actions.

NetworkManager was one example of crap response codes (unexplained,
anywhere, numerical codes).  And Evolution is another.  How many of us
have sat there waiting for it to finish dealing with some "unknown
background process" before we can continue using it?  The galling thing
is that /that/ "unknown" process is one of its own.
