OK,
Can I force it?
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
did not help.

It certainly looks that way. I see several of those kinds of GETs a
day on our web servers. Not from that particular domain, but similar
types of GETs.
A quick google points to similar GET requests to that domain as far
back as 2011, and the domain itself isn't live, just a placeholder for
parked domain.

Camera on a Toshiba L850 Satellite laptop, Fedora 17.
by Rolf Turner
I have a Toshiba Satellite L850 laptop. Recently I attempted to make
use of "Google Hangouts" for communicating with some colleagues. When I
attempted to start a "video hangout" I was informed that the "device"
was not working and that I appeared *not* to have a camera. (After some
appropriate clicking I got a message to the effect "Looks like your
camera isn't working properly.")
I had never tried to do anything involving camera facilities before (I'm
not usually that sort of bear) but I had just assumed that there was a
camera in the machine. There *is* a lens in the lid, just above the
screen. Furthermore, according to Toshiba's website, this laptop has a 1
megapixel webcam built in.
So: How can I get the damned thing to "work properly"? Is there
something I need to do to switch it on? Does it need "drivers"
installed? If so, do there exist drivers that will work under Linux,
specifically under Fedora 17?
Please try not to be *too* cryptic in your responses! There are many
lacunae in my knowledge and many acronyms and pieces of jargon bewilder me!
Thanks for any help and advice.
cheers,
Rolf Turner

vmplayer breaks after update of Fedora 19
by Chris Kottaridis
I downloaded vmplayer 6.0 and have been using it for a couple of weeks
now just fine.
Today I got a message that Fedora 19 had some updates so I did the updates.
When I try to execute vmplayer it wants to compile new modules, but
fails on the vmnet module.
vmware-modconfig-3650.log:
2014-03-06T12:14:59.763-06:00| vthread-3| I120: Extracting the vmnet
source from "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar".
2014-03-06T12:14:59.768-06:00| vthread-3| I120: Successfully extracted
the vmnet source.

2014-03-06T12:15:01.438-06:00| vthread-3| W110: Failed to build vmnet.
Failed to execute the build command.
I found this on the web:
http://guide.ecsmy.com/2013/08/fedora-19-with-kernel-310-fail-to.html
When I tried to apply that patch a lot of patches failed to apply. The
date on that page is Aug 14.
I just installed vmplayer from vmware a couple of weeks ago from this site:
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_p...
Which shows a date of:
=======================================
# Binary DetailsVMware Player and Player Plus for Linux 64-bit operating
systems. Enter a license key into the VMware Player user interface to
enable the VMware Player Plus features.
# File NameVMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle
# Build Number1379776
# Release Date2013-10-24
# CHECKSUMSMD5SUM: fe1354b05c7d0ce1839320ab21222df5
# SHA1SUM: 8a734c7c5d02e7e94a920337ad6ab58c3301b0be
======================================
So, I am thinking that vmware has applied the previous fixes, since they
seemed to work just a couple of weeks ago without those patches.
Like I said this was working fine after I installed this vmplayer a
couple of weeks ago and only after doing a Fedora update am I now seeing
a problem.
My current kernel is:
# uname -a
Linux unknownF46D04B04638 3.13.5-101.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 25
21:25:32 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Has anyone run into this problem with vmplayer ?
Thanks

Anti-brute force to those using firewalld?
by David Mehler
Hello,
To those running firewalld as opposed to the older iptables static
firewall setup, FC20, what do you use for stopping anti brute force or
port knockings on your systems? I use to use fail2ban but it appears
it does not work with firewalld.
Recommendations appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.

Gnome is sometimes blurred
by Antonio M
Sometimes when I start my laptop (with Intel card) Gnome doesn't start
as it should, icons are in the wrong position (I mean that the top panel
is sitting on the right and I get the wheel on the bottom left angle of
the screen).
Any idea?? should I file a bug against Gnome??

Most Efficient Network File sharing protocol?
by Dan Mossor
What do y'all consider the most efficient network file system? NFS? SMB?
SFTP?
I've been doing a lot of file transfers across the network, and have
been, well, less than impressed with the performance of NFS.
I haven't set up a samba server yet (and I wasn't sure the SMB protocol
itself would support hard links, even if the underlying file system did).
SFTP seems like it would put too much of a load on the CPU with the
encryption, and in fact, I almost cooked an RPi by transferring stuff
through SFTP and SSHFS.
What am I forgetting about?
