F19:personal file sharing doesn't work
by Antonio M 05 Oct '13

05 Oct '13

when I want to share files in a easy way, I was used to Personal Files Sharing. Now I enabled it on my F19 systems (both in Gnome and Mate) but something seems wrong: When I open Resources/Network I see shares of computers A and B but: working on A clicking on B I get : Impossible to mount position Error HTTP: Cannot connect to destination (PCdesktop.local) Clicking on A (per quanto abbia senso) I get: Impossible to mount the position Error HTTP: Internal Server Error Same if I work on B any hint?? googling around didn't give me any clue Tnx -- Antonio M Skype: amontag52 Linux Fedora F19(Schroedinger's cat) on Acer 5720 http://lugsaronno.altervista.org http://www.campingmonterosa.com

Accessing usb in text
by Richard Vickery 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi gang, I'm stuck in a text environment. I want to save stuff in /home to a USB drive but I forget how it is mapped / how the GUI accesses it; I know that it is under /run, and after this I am lost. Thanks for any help, Richard

Weird network problem
by Phil Dobbin 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi, all. I've got several machines on a LAN behind a NAT with DHCP assigning always the same addresses from a dynamic IP. A couple of days ago the IP changed & since then, one of the machines running Fedora 17 always fails first time to connect to the network: launch Thunderbird, no start screen, first attempt to check mail, it tells me that there's no network connection, second attempt it connects. The scheduled DejaDup backup always fails with no network but will run manually no problem. Firefox can't find Google but the Nagios web interface is fine as is all the cli stuff (ping, ssh, etc). Most annoyingly, yum update goes through every mirror before partially downloading part of the updates & if the updates are large, it takes about three attempts to get them all installed. I'd like to clear this up naturally especially as in the next couple of weeks I'll be upgrading this box to Fedora 18 & the last thing I need is a dodgy network connection. All the machines below are on the same LAN & they all work fine after the IP address change, it's only the Fedora box that's causing problems. Any help appreciated. I'm stuck. Cheers, Phil... -- currently (ab)using CentOS 5.9 & 6.4, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Beefy, Spherical & That Damn Cat, Lubuntu 12.10, OS X Snow Leopard & Ubuntu Precise, Quantal & Raring GnuPG Key : http://www.horse-latitudes.co.uk/publickey.asc

HDA jack retasking
by Raman Gupta 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

I have Intel HDA Audio on my motherboard (Asus P9X79 PRO). This chipset has the capability to retask jacks for another purpose, for example changing a line out jack to a headphone jack. Has anyone successfully retasked an audio jack (specifically, on my motherboard, the blue Line Out jack) to a headphone? I found a post on pulseaudio-discuss re. this hda-jack-retask program which seems to imply it can be done, but it didn't seem to work (I didn't try every available combination however): http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2011-December/0123… Regards, Raman

hard disk install repo=hd:.... vs stage2=hd:...
by Jackson Byers 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

If this is a repeat, my apologies; I sent it several days ago and haven't seen it in the "piper" history. If this is a repeat, my apologies; I sent it several days ago and haven't seen it in the "piper" history. I have done hard disk installs using dvd.iso in the past several tilmes: f11,f12, f14, all using something llke title Install Fedora 14 hd0,0 sda1, repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/root/df14iso root (hd0,0) #sda1 kernel /f14install/vmlinuz-install repo=hd:/dev/sdb1:/root/df14iso initrd /f14install/initrd.img-install I presume the above would still work for f19 with obvious changes using grub2. lately I have attempted using f19 netinst.iso., for which I found following advice menuentry 'Fedora 19 netinst' { linux /vmlinuz-install stage2=hd:/dev/sda9:root/Fedora-19-i386-netinst.iso initrd /initrd.img-install } Note "stage2=' not "repo=" Is "stage2=" intended only for netinst.iso, and "repo=" intended only for dvd,iso ? or, just when can I use "stage2=" just when can I use "repo=" ? I tried the above menuentry 'Fedora 19 netinst' with its "stage2=" and the installer came up but I couldn't manage the installer-- it seemed to insist on using all available space, and I could find no way to change that. and the install failed, with my usb external now forrmatted with 4 more large partitions. These I probably can remove with gparted........ If there is any general advice re using dvd.iso vs netinst.iso it would be greatly appreciated Jack

Blank Screen after login on Fedora 19
by Craig Lanning 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

I have a laptop in a dock with an external monitor. In Fedora 18, I configured it use the external monitor as the primary display and to turn the laptop screen off. The machine in question has the following configuration: HP EliteBook 8560p Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz 8GB RAM ATI Radeon 6400M Docking Station with 1920x1080 monitor (connected via DVI) and wired network. Fedora 19 64-bit If I create a new user, I can log into the new user just fine. I see both monitors with the laptop screen being primary. If I change it so that the external monitor is primary and the laptop screen is off, I can reboot and login just fine. After I customize the desktop a bit, when I reboot and login, I get a blank screen with a mouse pointer, but it never goes any further. I've seen comments about changing the display manager to either kdm or lightdm, but neither of those helped. It still behaved the same. I even found a comment about logging in to a text system (no display manager) and using 'startx' to start the desktop. I tried that, but it still behaved the same. Is there some way I can regain control of the user? Is there a way I can reactivate the laptop screen without using the Display applet in the gnome-control-center? Craig
