set norelatime on f15?
by Neal Becker 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

F15beta running in vm. I changed /etc/fstab to say: /dev/mapper/vg_nbecker6f15-lv_root / ext4 norelatime 1 1 UUID=768e1633-a96b-4932-832b-f65778b51627 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 ... But according to mount, norelatime was ignored. 2 questions: 1) What do I need to do to get norelatime? 2) I see /home mounted, but there is no entry in /etc/fstab. Who mounted /home, and how can I change options? mount /proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) /sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime,seclabel) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,seclabel,size=502432k,nr_inodes=125608,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,seclabel,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime,seclabel) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,mode=755) /dev/mapper/vg_nbecker6f15-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered) selinuxfs on /selinux type selinuxfs (rw,relatime) tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,mode=755) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups- agent,name=systemd) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/ns type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,ns) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpu) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuacct) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/memory type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,memory) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/devices type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio) systemd-1 on /dev/hugepages type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=28,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) systemd-1 on /sys/kernel/debug type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=29,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) systemd-1 on /sys/kernel/security type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=30,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=31,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) systemd-1 on /dev/mqueue type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=32,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) tmpfs on /media type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,rootcontext=system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0,seclabel,mode=755) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered) /dev/mapper/vg_nbecker6f15-lv_root on /tmp type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered) /dev/mapper/vg_nbecker6f15-lv_root on /var/tmp type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered) /dev/mapper/vg_nbecker6f15-lv_root on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime) none on /media/sf_nbecker type vboxsf (rw,nodev,relatime)

Public Apology to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore
by "Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) 张恩鸣 " 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I was misconstrued as having insulted Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. My words were twisted and misinterpreted and I feel that there is a need to explain myself and set the record straight. [b]What really happened[/b] It was sometime in Aug/Sep in the year 2009. The setting was in the Tampines Central office of Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd. I was having a ***verbal*** conversation with Melvin Lee, my new I.T. department manager, when he challenged me to complete an I.T. assignment within a specified period of time. In response to his challenge, I replied in Mandarin: "If I cannot complete the I.T. assignment within a specified period of time, then Lee Kuan Yew is wang ba dan". I used to be fond of using other people's names to "bet" with people but now no more. The Minister Mentor's name came into my mind spontaneously and I used it to "bet" with my I.T. department manager. [b]Explanations[/b] 1. It was not my intention to insult the Minister Mentor at that time. Please note the use of the IF... THEN... statement in my verbal conversation. 2. I did not know wang ba dan [hanyu pinyin] means bastard at all until I consulted Goh Meng Seng much later. I would like to apologize to the Minister Mentor and the Prime Minister of Singapore if I have offended them in any way. I swear it was not my intention to insult the Minister Mentor. Please forgive me for using your name carelessly to "bet" with my former I.T. department manager.

Fedora 14 - Problem With External VGA Monitor
by Charlie McVeigh 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

I recently upgraded from fedora 13 to Fedora 14 on my Lenvo Thinkpad T61. I primarily use my laptop with a Lenovo docking station and an external VGA monitor. The video card is an nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M. While running Fedora 13 (and earlier versions) I was able to use my external monitor and proprietary nVIDIA drivers with no issues or problems whatsoever. Using the external monitor with Fedora 14 is another story: i) With the nouveau video drivers installed I can use my external monitor, but I must leave my laptop display open while in the docking station and I must press the Fn-F7 key to make sure the external display is selected. If I leave my laptop case closed as I was able to do Fedora 13 and every earlier version, I can watch the system boot and once the system "acorn" completes and the display switches to the GUI Logon dialog, the external monitor goes blank and displays nothing. Is there a setting to change that will allow the external monitor to remain active once the GUI Logon starts and my laptop case is closed while in the dock? ii) I tried installing the proprietary nVIDIA drivers and the situation is a bit worse than when using the nouveau drivers. With nVIDIA I can watch the system boot on the external VGA monitor, but I get a character based progress bar across the bottom of the screen instead of the graphical "acorn." Once the system switches to the GUI logon there is no display whatsoever on the external monitor - it is totally unusable. iii) I personally would like to use the nVIDIA drivers as I have found the nouveau drivers to be somewhat unstable. My system display locks up and freezes at least 3 times a week with a garbled display. I wish that I could recreate the scenario that causes the garbled display but I can't, so I can't submit a bug report. Any help in getting the the external VGA display working correctly would be most appreciated. Charlie

Resetting network devices between ifconfig level and desktop level
by Aaron Gray 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

I have got inconsistent eth devices between what Fedora Gnome Desktop is telling me and what ifconfig is telling me and what 'service network restart' is telling me. Do I have to do a reinstall or is there some way of resetting things ? Many thanks in advance, Aaron

Dealing with e-mail attachments with names containing spaces.
by Aaron Konstam 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

If you get an e-mail whose attachment has spaces in its name one has problems dealing with the attachment in Linux. I found a way to deal with them (such as open a pdf file attachment) but I wonder is anyone has a more coherent way to deal with them than I have found. My way is somewhat hoakie. I am using evolution to read mail. -- ======================================================================= There seems no plan because it is all plan. -- C.S.
