Checking cronjob syntax
by Frank Murphy
Today being Monday:
45 5 22-28 * * test 'date +\%A' = Sunday && yum -v clean plugins
Nothing appears to have happened. (no email to root, usual cron stuff)
So taking the bit from "test" eg:
test 'date +\%A' = Sunday && blkid (all days in turn)
blkid doesn't run
Where have I slipped up

F16>F17: F17 can't find root by uuid - which exists!
by sean darcy
Upgrading from F16 to F17. F17 boot fails because dracut can't find the
root partition, which is listed by uuid. This is the same uuid used in
F16, and when I run blkid at the dracut prompt : there it is!
And yes, I've checked character by character.
I changed fstab to use /dev/sda2, but that doesn't help. How do I edit
grub2 to point to /dev/sda2 so at least I can boot?
And anyone know why dracut is having such a problem with uuid?

No irq handler for vector -> dead keyboard
by DJ Delorie
I've been getting a ton of these. They seem to persist across kernel
updates ever since I first put F17 on. Once they start happening,
usually within a few hours of a reboot, they PS2 keyboard stops
working right (first keypress is lost, autorepeat keypresses come
through) although restarting X seems to fix them.
Unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in does not fix anything.
The errors keep happening even though the keyboard is not plugged in
at all at the moment (USB keyboards work fine)
Motherboard is a GA-X58A-UD3R with an I7 X980, 24 GB of RAM, an SSD
for boot and two 3TB drives for data. ATI Radeon HD graphics. A
couple of other pci/pcie cards if it matters.
Any ideas?

Spam question
by Aaron Konstam
Suddenly last week I downloaded from a POP server 255 messages of which
over 200 were spam.
After a little study of the evolution setup it became clear that someone
had captured my e-mail address and was filling my mail queue with spam.
They advertised different services but the form of the messages made it
clear they had only one source. However identical spam message had
different Mail Ids and seemed to come from a different address.
Using spamassassin I got thsio spam under control, However
Is there someway from the mail header to deduce the origin of the
messages?

Openvpn: how to start at login?
by Timothy Murphy
I have a script
---------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
sudo systemctl restart openvpn(a)client.service
---------------------------------
which I run (under Fedora-17) if vpn is not connected when I logon
(normally after hibernating).
I'm wondering if there is a "systemctl enable" or similar command
which will do this more simply?

how comes this impression?
i am running fedora since many years as workstations and also for routers,
firewalls, webservers, telephony servers, dns-servers, web-servers and all
other things you imagine a computer can do
why not?
there is the linux kernel and a bundle of opensource software
finally they are all the same and differs in their version
and upgrade intervals - but there is not single fundamental
difference between running sama on fedora, suse, ubuntu....

Ok so after scouring this site called "DistroWatch".....which has a
MILLION different versions of Linux I've decided to go with:
PeppermintOS - laptop
Ubuntu LTS - desktop
Fedora laptop
Linux Mint desktop
PC-BSD desktop
Will have to figure out which one will be a server...a storage
machine....etc.

qemu-kvm / libvirt using swap
by Tommy Pham
Hi,
Is there anyway for me to prevent the qemu-kvm or libvirt from using
swap? The system monitor's resources indicate it's using 13.5GiB
(43.2%) of 31.3GiB RAM and 2.5GiB(7.0%) of 31.2GiB swap.
TIA,
Tommy
