F20 Boot Delay
by David L. Crow
After upgrading to F20 (fedup from F19), I am seeing a significant delay
early in the boot process. Interesting lines from dmesg at the relevant
time are

I booted without the "quiet" kernel parameter and did not see any
additional logging at this delay point.
I have selinux disabled via the following /etc/sysconfig/selinux lines
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Any thoughts as to what might be causing this or next steps in problem
determination?

Adding mail aliases
by Robert Moskowitz
So I have been taught it is not enough to edit /etc/aliases, you also
have to run newaliases to update /etc/aliases.db. Both these files
exist in the base install, along with mailx. But newaliases does NOT
exist. A 'quick' yum whatprovides shows that newaliases is installed
along with any of: exim, sendmail, postfix, or ssmtp :(
So does mailx use /etc/aliases.db? If it does, why no newaliases, and
how to install only newaliases, not a whole MTA?
Well for now, I can quite live with root mail going to root's maildir.

f20 x86_64 installation saga
by Robert Moskowitz
As of this morning, I have f20 x86_64 running on my Lenovo x120e with a
240GB SSD drive.
The 'bug' that was biting me was the NVRAM update for the efibootmgr.
This is still an outstanding issue. All the things Chris had me try
never got my NVRAM updated. Even thought I had bricked it at one point.
What finally worked was Chris 'talking' me through making what did get
installed bootable. Took a bit, and there are still some hitches to
smooth out, but it looks like it works now. I have rsynced everything
over from the i386 f20 drive and up and running.
Still things to do, so you will probably be hearing from me :)
Like getting logwatch and cron working with just mailx. Since this is a
clean build, not even postfix install/erase or procmail install/erase.
This is CLEAN wrt an MTA! We will get this figured out! ;)

/etc/cron.daily as user
by Frank Murphy
Have the following as I want anacron to do the buisness
#!/bin/bash
# Bleachbit as user
USER=user
/usr/bin/bleachbit --preset -c
But is still wants to clobber root jetsam
I'd prefer not to do user crontab -e

Fedora 20 Cups pstopxl/gstopxl still broken
by Michael D. Setzer II
Was doing a clean install on new Lenova i7 machines for my classroom labs,
and couldn't get the printer to work. Had no problem setting up the printer,
but test prints just resulted in printer stopped. Tried all kinds of things, and
the Fedora 17 machines were printing just fine.
Finally ran system-config-printer, and was actually able to see an error
message, but it was not correct either.
Was reporting that it couldn't find the file /usr/ib64/cups/filter/pstopxl.
Then I recalled this error from long long ago with an older version of Fedora,
seems that the file was changed from pstopxl to gstopxl, so creating a link to
the correct name fixed the problem, but it was in /usr/lib/cups/filter...
I recall putting this in a bug report or someone else had already done it, but it
was long ago. Not sure why this issue hasn't been fixed? Either have the link
include, or have the printer setup use the correct name.
I've got to get 21 machines setup in just over a week for the start of the
semester. Old machines are 8 years old, so nice to get new ones, but having
to refix a problem that should have already been corrected.
Is there some other method that can be used to make sure this is corrected,
or there another method that should be used.

Modem troubles
by Richard Vickery
Hi Gang:
I was on a Toshiba today, Monday, doing a fresh install and could get the
modem to connect, given that I could see it and many others. Does anyone
have ideas about what I could attempt to get it to connect?
Thanks,
Richard
