If I plug in USB storage, I always have to futz around with the VM's settings, manually select "add new USB device", find the new USB storage device, and only then Windows 7 that's running in my VM sees it. This might be a new virtual USB hardware "device" that I have to switch to, does anyone know this for sure? This is probably somewhat similar to how audio support evolved over time. When I set up my first Windows 7 VM, there was no audio passthrough from the VM to the real audio. I kind of let it go, after Googling that, on an off, for a year or so. A few releases of Fedora later, a second Windows 7 VM install suddenly had sound. Comparing the two VMs, the older one showed "Display: VNC", the new VM had "Display: Spice". After changing the older VM's setting, I suddenly had audio. If KVM can now automatically grab USB storage if the VM has input focus, this would certainly be a very nice jump in functionality, if I could only figure out how to make it do that, now… pgpKlwcHSO0D5.pgp Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Well I got my first VM created and in it. Got Firefox installed and adblock plugged in... There are two things I want to do next. First to access files in my base system. Like my real /home/me stuff. So far my searching how to do this has come up empty. Next I will want to set up firefox to run proxy through an SSH tunnel to a server on my net.

In virt-manager when you look at the VM properties (the light bulb icon), you can select different bits of virtual hardware and fiddle with things like the disk cache mode. Annoyingly, however, all it ever says when you look at it at first is "default", so you have no clue what the default setting is. I experimented once a long time ago with all the different cache modes, and found writeback much faster than the default (or course, for all I know the default is now better, but I can't tell because I still can't find out what "default" means :-). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

New to building VMs. Build stalled at 597/1241
I have finally buckled down to learn to make a VM. Now I probably bit off a bit much. I am installing from my local repo. For some reason it said this is a test image. My netinst to this notebook did not say that. Something MAY be left over in my repo from the beta. I then specified the URL of my updates repo. This worked fine both on this notebook and my Asus i386 notebook. I then selected Xfce desktop and really a minimal set of tools, on 10Gb storage. The install started and for the last ~2 hours it has been sitting at 597/1241 on the install status. The message is installing yum. I can access my repo server, though I don't see any activity on it. I have been following the instructions at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization And am using the GUI virutual manager. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Good to know. A basic re-style is less likely to throw up nasty
surprises, but you are still fighting against a webpage's own styling,
which may have done all sorts of tricks to make their site work.
The borders should only appear on things that were meant to have
borders, so they should help reading things like tables, which would be
difficult with no clue as to where the table cells were, for example.
Images will be handled completely differently, and I'm not aware of any
CSS that can be applied to images. So, if you did need to change image
rendering, I think you'll need to find some kind of image processing
plug-in.

Yes, that kind of thing is the risk you run when altering a website.
Being able to turn it on and off on the fly is probably needed. There
is a good chance that some thing will become invisible. Especially on
pages where the author set a foreground colour, but never bothered to
set a background colour, or vice versa, where they depended on the
default being what they expected.
Thank you for the help, this has filled in a big gap for me; I now have
a section Firefox > .css in my Notecase-pro notes.

As I'd already pointed out, removing the SSID doesn't hide the network. It's still listed, for anybody who lists the surrounding networks, it's just un-named. For more admin fun and games, try connecting to the right network when you're surrounded by several neighbours all running un-named access points. Then you might realise that the only thing you can do to make your own networking easier, is to have a SSID showing with a name of your own choosing. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.17.7-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 04:08:31 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

Re: extremely slow shell starts (trying to debug, dbus related)

Notice the 30second wait for a response from dbus?
Also in /var/log/messages, various dbus messages such as:
Dec 30 08:19:32 nbecker7 su: (to root) nbecker on pts/0
Dec 30 08:20:02 nbecker7 dbus[809]: [system] Connection has not authenticated
soon enough, closing it (auth_timeout=3ms, elapsed: 30004ms)
Any hints?
Those log line times don't match the strace times. But I'll assume they're
typical, and associate with your shell startups timingwise.
A few questions:
- why does the shell use dbus at all? (just wondering, I'm presuming this is
some bash feature new to me)
- can you strace dbus (pid 809 in the above log)? using strace's -f option if
dbus forks.
- 30s is in my head as a standard DNS timeout, but it is also common to some
other things and your sample strace above shows only 25s. (Though I notice also
that the timeout in the poll() call is itself exactly 25s).
So you're not seeing a 25s wait before dbus replies, you're seeing a 25s
timeout on the client (your shell?)?
I'd be trying 2 things: see if dbus has a config option to turn up its
debugging messages, and strace dbus around a shell start. Eg:
strace -p 809 -f -o strace.dbus.out
Disclaimer: not running Fedora here, so this is all general advice.
