fedup??
by Beartooth
I bollixed one PC so badly, a week or two ago, that I gave up on
repair and just installed F21 Alpha (from a live CD). I've been very
pleased with it.
Nevertheless, I suppose, I really ought to upgrade.
"yum install fedup" actually does something, without complaining.
But does Fedora still use fedup?? If not, what? I'd expected this list to
be abuzz by now with posts about upgrading, but I don't see them. Are
things in general really going so swimmingly that nobody questions
anything??
I've put time and effort into tweaking, and would prefer
upgrading in a way that would keep that, if I can.

OT, mount BSD -
by Bob Goodwin
Sort of off topic, but an integral part of my Fedora Linux LAN.
I have a Freenas server that denies a mount however it accepts an ssh
log-in and responds to the Freenas browser setup from my F20 and
F21alpha boxes.
The error appears as:
[root@box10 bobg]# mount 192.168.1.48:/mnt/nasdata/bobg /mnt/box48
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.48:/mnt/nasdata
In /etc/fstab I have the line:
192.168.1.48:/mnt/nasdata/bobg /mnt/box48bobg nfs defaults 0 0
All of this stuff was working until I re-installed Freenas in it's
server. Nothing will work until I am able to mount the server and I am
stumped as to what is wrong.
Any thoughts appreciated,
Bob

OK, thanks. I'll check the wiki pages of there shows up any other doubt
about it (that is not clarify in the wiki), I'll push it in this thread.

Kudos to the Fedora 21 team
by William Oliver
I like to bitch a lot on mailinglists, so I thought it's only fair to post a congrats as well. I just installed the 21 beta. For hygeine reasons, I prefer clean installs to upgrades, so I can't comment on the upgrade process, but the install for me went flawlessly. I easily groupinstalled the KDE workstation stuff and am up and running as a KDE box, all in about an hour (with most of that time spent downloading the packages over DSL). Things seem to be smoother than 20 in a number of respects. I connect to my wireless with fewer hassles (in 20, there's some issue with my router's DHCP and NetworkManager that often results in a couple of timeouts before an address was assigned). It *felt* (though I didn't time it( that KDE came up more quickly.
This went much more easily for me than the installation of 20. The only glitch I've had so far was that when I first installed KDE, there was an "unnamed" KDE Activity that I couldn't delete, but it disappeared when I rebooted.
I'm currently downloading all sorts of software I don't need to see if there are installation conflict issues (which I ran into in 20), but so far, this is great!

udev rules for webcam
by Fred Smith
Hi all!
I've got an old eeepc 901 set up with Fedora 20, in a captive situation
where it operates a USB web cam (not the built-in one, but something a
good deal better, though modestly priced) snapping an image once per
minute.
Unfortunately, on the rare occasions when the eeepc gets rebooted, the
location in /dev of the particular web cam I'm interested in sometimes
changes from /dev/video0 to /dev/video1, or sometimes the other way.
I was looking to see if I could grope /proc files to find out which
one was the camera I'm interested in, so the script that runs it
could adapt.
not finding anything on that, I hit on writing a udev rule for the
USB device to make sure it appeared as a predictable /dev/video<x>.
So, I found a bunch of advice on the web, and tried two rather
different udev rules, neither of which works in any way I can confirm.
Here's one of 'em:
lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270
so, according to one of the recipes I found, if I make a rule like this
it should work:
SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0x046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0x0825", SYMLINK+="logitechcam"
if I understand it, this should make the camera appear as "/dev/logitechcam".
If I'm off-base here I hope someone will straighten me out.
this rule is stored in a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/25<stuff>.rules.
unplug/replug the camera elicits no change, and no /dev/logitechcam node,
either. neither does a reboot.
Advice will be gladly accepted! Thanks in advance.
Fred

Installing "old" packages
by Lain Cortés González
First of all, sorry for that title. Second, and what is all this email all
about, I would like to know if any of you know how to do a fresh install
and have the same software than the old installation of Fedora. For
example, I'm currently using Fedora 20 and I'd like to upgrade to 21 when
the it comes out; but the partition "/" is very "small" (or I have too much
installed software) so using FedUp isn't an option.
