WiFi permanently disappeared after booting test kernel
by Mike Fleetwood
Hi,
On my netbook I booted a test kernel 3.8.0-rc4+ I compiled. Now after
booting back into my regular Fedora kernel 3.6.11-5.fc17.i686.PAE my
wifi network device remains permanently disappeared. No wifi networks
displayed in Network Manager gui. Also the Network Manager syslog
messages make it look like the device has completely disappeared.
Suggestions for restoring wifi welcome.
Thanks
Mike

What happened to floppy drive support?
by n2xssvv.g02gfr12930
I've been using a floppy boot disk as reserve if my HD boot fails, But
it appears floppy support as now been removed. Why? Then how can I
create an emergency media that is flexible enough to be updated as required?

no printout, but no other hint of error. F18.
by William Mattison
Hi,
When I try to print anything out, I get no printout. Even a test page does not come out. But no indication of trouble shows up on the monitor, and no indication of trouble on the printer's display. I did download and install the driver. cups gives no hint of trouble that I recognize. If I restart the system and boot up with Windows 7 home, I do get printouts.
The printer is a Xerox WorkCentre 6015ni, I'm using Fedora-18, 64-bit, and the printer is connected to the system via usb bus. This is a stand-alone home desktop.
I'm neither trained nor experienced in sys. admin. I've exhausted the help I can get from the printer's manual (media and web site). Any help you can give will be appreciated.
Bill.

Runlevel 3 after fedup
by ellis@spinics.net
After upgrade from 17 to 18 with fedup and installing all the updates I was
unable to login as any user other than root. When I tried I was greeted with
the message: "System is booting up".
After beating my head against the wall I finally tried booting to runlevel
5 instead of 3. That fixed the issue. But booting to runlevel 3 and switching
to 5 doesn't work.
Possibly a problem with systemd?

Unrelieved black popups and message boxes
by Temlakos
Everyone:
I asked this before under a different heading, and no one answered.
I get a large volume of e-mail, and very often I interact with a site
that brings up a lot of message boxes, "suggestion boxes" (for
auto-filling from a few keystroke clues), and bringing up apps after
they were minimized to the system tray or the task bar. Now why is it
that, after maybe two hours of operation, those popups come up and are
totally black? The only way to solve the problem, that I have found, is
to shut down. And even then, I can't even see what I'm doing, but have
to guess where the icons are for executing a controlled shutdown. (I can
always bring up a command-line login screen, log in as root, and then
shut down. But that doesn't seem to solve the problem for the next session.)
And when I log back on, everything's fine--until it starts happening
again, after several more window draws.
What could be causing this? Where do I even look for error logs and the
like?
I never had this problem in any other version of Fedora. I'm having it
now, and it's driving me nuts.
For the record, I used the "upgrading from F17 to F18 using yum" method.
I even used the elaborate script that walks you through rpmnew and
rpmsave reconciliation. And I've kept up with every system update since
then. Actually, the problem began about three kernel updates back.

Problem with cron
by Joe Zeff
I have my computers registered with the Linux Counter, and my main
desktop machine is supposed to update its status once a week, using a
cron job:
# added by lico-update.sh version 0.3.14
58 11 * * 4 /home/joe/bin/lico-update.sh -m
The permissions on the script are right, and if run manually, it works.
This worked fine under Fedora 16, but doesn't now that I'm running F
17. Does anybody know what's happened, or how to find out?

Samba 4
by Gabriel VLASIU
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Hi!
Maybe someone can help me with samba 4 (F18).
In previous version (samba 3/F17) I had this definition for a share:
[xxx]
path = /xxx
browseable = yes
writable = yes
; writable = no
printable = no
public = yes
guest only = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force group = xxx
The important thing here is "create mask". I do not want all files created
by users to be executable in linux.
The same definition work in samba 4 with the exception of running windoze
.exe files from the share. In windoze, there is no read & exec permissions
associated with the file. Only read for everyone and read/write for unix
user/group. I can manually set the exec flag (from linux or windoze) but
this has to be made every time someone copy an executable file.
Any chance to revert to the behavior from samba 3?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gabriel

Printing jobs
by Richard Vickery
can anyone help me figure out what is going on here? I'll look at it in the
morning, but still might not find it on my own.
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups from search access on the
directory /var/lib/hp.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests
***************************
If you believe that hpcups should be allowed search access on the hp
directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep hpcups /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
