mailx in script
by Frank Murphy
Every time azureus restarts (crashes out),
I have a script to send an email.
#!/bin/bash
mailx -s"Azureus has restarted" me(a)me.place \n
"It's probably crashed again."
Put in the new line as was getting,
a second mail with:
Null message body; hope that's ok
But, now am getting no mail.
The script is hooked into my vuze.service
ExecStartPost=/etc/scripts/azrestart # script has been chmod+x

Regards,
Frank - I check for new mail app. 20min

emacs, 'backward-delete-char-untabify
by lee
Hi,
is it "normal" for emacs in Fedora to have 'backward-delete-char-untabify
bound to the Del key? Or is this "normal" for emacs in general? This
really doesn't give the expected behaviour, and IIRC it used to work
as expected at some time.
MOTT I use Ctrl-d, but when you press Del and the visible effect is
Backspace, that's a bit annoying. To make it even more funny, M-x
describe-key says for backspace:
,----
| DEL (translated from <backspace>) runs the command
| delete-backward-char, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
`----
Fortunately, (global-set-key (kbd "<delete>") 'delete-char) works around
it, but now 'backward-delete-char-untabify isn't bound to a key anymore,
and 'forward-delete-char-untabify seems to be missing at all.

No HDMI audio with nvidia driver?
by Tom Horsley
As part of a temporary experiment, I put an Nvidia card in
my system:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
The gnome-control-center sound panel seems to believe that
it can output audio to the HDMI output, but nothing comes
out on a sound test.
If I install the binary nvidia driver from rpmfusion, I
do get HDMI audio, so I'm guessing the nvidia driver
just can't do audio yet?
Another weird thing is that aplay -L lists the built in
intel audio S/PDIF:
iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
HDA Intel PCH, ALC887-VD Digital
IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
But gnome-control-center no longer sees it as an output
option, so I can't get audio by going through my receiver
either.
Any of this sound familiar? (I'll be taking the nvidia
card out soon, so I'm not really looking to try and fix
any of this, but I thought I'd mention the weirdnesses :-).

how to set logverbose=6 to X server (forever)
by Frédéric Bron
I have a lot of problems with the nvidia proprietary driver. However
nouveau is very much too slow so that I have to use the nvidia driver.
They ask for logverbose option to be set to at least 6 to send bug
reports. I see how I can do that for a manual start with startx, how
can I do it for all normal starts? I am using F18 with KDE. I do not
want to restart the X server manually each time I switch on the
computer.

Frédéric

Install F18 using LVM on RAID
by Gerhard Gappmeier
Hi all,
I'm trying to get F18 installed on a server (x86_64). The setup is quiet easy
and typical for a server:
Partitions:
sda1: primary partition, 512M
sda2: primary partition, rest of the disk
sdb1: primary partition, 512M
sdb2: primary partition, rest of the disk
SOFT RAID:
/dev/md0: raid1, consists of sda1 and sdb1
/dev/md1: raid1, consists of sda2 and sdb2
md0: formatted with ext2, mounted as /boot
md1: LVM physical device.
LVM:
LVM VG: "vg" using md1
LVM LV: "root", formatted as ext4, mounted as /
LVM LV: "var", formatted as ext4, mounted as /var (this is for libvirt disk
images)
LVM LV: "swap", swap partition
Grub installed in both MBRs of sda and sdb, to allow booting from both disks.
Unfortunately the installer does not allow to create this kind of partition
layout. With F17 this was possible.
What I've already tried:
1.) creating the layout manually using fdisk, mdadm and lvm tools. Selecting
only the mountpoint in installer: This does not work. The installer does not
correctly recognize the layout. I was not able to select the mountpoints.
2.) Installing F17 and upgrade using fedup. This fails. Seems like fedup is
not able to handle this layout.
3.) Kickstart: It looks like this is most likely the way to get it working.
But I was not able to write a working kickstart script. The online doc is not
enough for that. I found same kickstart examples using Google, but these
didn't work either.
Maybe somebody can assists me with that or has a better idea how to install
that system.
regards,
Gerhard.

Experiences with fedup-cli: 18 -> 19: very long download process
by Nick Urbanik
Dear Folks,
I'll share my experience with upgrading four (non-virtual) machines
from Fedora 18 to Fedora 19. In each case, I used
fedup-0.7.3-4.fc18.noarch from updates-testing, performing a network
upgrade. None of the upgrades were hampered by lack of disk space.
The first two went beautifully, flawlessly, and fairly rapidly. After
the success of my home machine, I upgraded my work machine from home,
and when I came to work on Monday morning it worked perfectly well for
me; I was a very happy camper!
The third machine is a single core, old ASUS 1000e Eee PC; the
downloading appeared to stall after several hours. I restarted
fedup-cli --network 19 and it finished after a while longer, and
upgraded just fine after the reboot.
The fourth machine through, has taken the most time. It's a Lenovo
x121e, the only one of the three that was a fresh install of F18.
The fedup-cli download process went for more than 40 hours before I
interrupted it. fedup-cli was showing all the packages repeatedly,
cycling from the beginning of the alphabet after finishing the z
packages.
Next to each package was written "0B", presumably because it had
already been downloaded. I interrupted the process twice and
restarted after that initial long wait, and finally it finished this
morning, and the upgrade after the reboot went smoothly and rapidly
with the solid state disk.
On Fedora 19, I am happy with the state that it is in now, and find it
works well for me.
