Miccus Home RTX: Anybody got it working under Fedora 20?
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
The subject line says it all... Anybody try to get this device set
up, then hear about the defective antenna that was apparently shipped
with this device for a while, get the new (correct) antenna shipped to
them and then had any success getting this device working with Fedora
20?
Depending on your responses, I might just return the item and get my
money back...
Eagerly awaiting your experiences with this device.

Strange Issue
by Frank Tanner III
I've seen this, or something similar in the bug track, but I am not
seeing a workaround.
I have a VM running FC20 (on an ESXi 5.5 host). I am using the KDE
environment. It was running great until a couple of days ago All of a
sudden, out of the blue, it rebooted and now comes up and tries to start
the GUI, but drops out to a text login. If I reboot or shut down from
the commandline it pops up the GUI again to shut down. StartX will not
start the GUI.
When I do a tail of /var/log/messages, I see the following:
localhost systemd: Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to
connect to socket /run/user/0/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or
directory
I have tried uninstalling the VMWare tools to see if this would resolve
the issue. It has not.
Any assistance that you can give me to get it running would be greatly
appreciated.

This may be off topic -- is it possible to have a different *primary* "hostname" for each ip on a machine?
by William Oliver
This may not be a "fedora" problem, so if you know where I should ask this, please let me know. This is a mail problem, but I suspect that the "real" problem is named or something else. I don't know.
OK, here goes. I have a personal machine that has 5 static ip addresses. Here's my hosts file:
% cat hosts
# Automatically generated by OnApp (2.3.3)
127.0.0.1 localhost
50.7.12.26 www.forensicpath.biz forensicpath.biz forensicpath
50.7.12.27 hope.billoblog.com billoblog.com billoblog
50.7.12.28 www.bill-oliver.com bill-oliver.com bill-oliver
50.7.12.29 www.cindyo.net cindyo.net cindyo
50.7.12.30 www.forensicsurveys.com forensicsurveys.com forensicsurveys
Here's some hostname fun:
%hostname
hope.billoblog.com
%hostname -A
forensicpath.biz billoblog.com bill-oliver.com cindyo.net
forensicsurveys.com
%hostname -I
50.7.12.26 50.7.12.27 50.7.12.28 50.7.12.29 50.7.12.30
All of these have virtual hosts wrt apache, though only a couple actually have web pages, and, it all seems to work well enough, web-wise.
But here's the rub. I use sendmail for my MTA, and I use billoblog.com as my SMART_HOST. Sendmail relays all these domains without a problem, AFAIK. All the users on this machine have <user>@billoblog.com as their email address except my wife, who uses "cindy(a)cindyo.net."
But... Cindy (my wife, cindy(a)cindyo.net) is having her mail rejected by SuddenLink. If she sends mail to <user>@suddenlink.com, it gets bounced. The error sent by SuddenLink is simply "You cannot send email to this domain." Mail will send fine everywhere else -- aol, verizon, amazon, etc.
Oddly, if *I* send email **from the same machine** as "vendor(a)billoblog.com", SuddenLink will accept and deliver the mail.
So, I'm thinking, what's the difference between me sending email as "vendor(a)billoblog.com" and "cindy(a)cindyo.net" from the same server? One is relayed and one is not. The mail is seen by SuddenLink as being delivered by "hope.billoblog.com," which is my mailserver's hostname. So, the only thing I can thing of is that SuddenLink is seeing a relay and assuming it's being spoofed. But I don't know -- I called SuddenLink and they had no idea why they were bouncing the mail, didn't care, and said that they didn't support personal servers so go away.
So, I thought, hmmmm... I wonder if it would be possible to have a different hostname for different ip addresses? In other words, could I, on the same machine, serve mail as "hope.billoblog.com" when the user was "vender(a)billoblog.com" and be "www.cindyo.net" when the user was "cindy(a)cindyo.net?"
I tried the kneejerk thing of simply adding www.cindyo.net to the
sendmail SMART_HOST, i.e. changing
define(`SMART_HOST', `hope.billoblog.com')dnl
to
define(`SMART_HOST', `hope.billoblog.com:www.cindyo.net')dnl
That just started giving me DNS MX loop errors.
Any pointers?
If there's a postfix fix, I'll happily switch over...
Thanks!

Review of best photo managers?
by Alex
Hi,
I'd like to do some basic photo management on my fedora20 box. I'm already
aware of shotwell (too basic) and gimp (too involved), but was interested
in finding something in the middle.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a photo management app for fedora?
Maybe a document that reviews all the latest? Any searching I've done only
results in older docs or simple references to shotwell viewer.
I'd just like to be able to do some basic cropping, view the EXIF data, tag
a bunch of photos to be copied or deleted at once, and maybe upload to a
photo album or something...
Really disappointed the default photo app on fedora is still so basic.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi All;
I can plug a hard wire into my laptop and boot up, it comes up connected.
I can boot up with no connection and then tell it to connect to the
wireless it works fine, but if later I click disconnect for the wireless

spins until I finally reboot.
Can anyone help me debug this?
Thanks in advance

Apache confuses me
by Roger
Fedora 19 and centos 6.5
I set up Centos 6.5 to teach myself about setting up a server in my
spare time.
In both I have /var/www/html both have index.html test files which
work as expected.
I set up folders /var/www/test_folder and put an index.html in each
httpd.conf has DirectoryRoot as /var/www not /var/www/html
In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in both I have
<Directory /var/www/test_folder>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
and in /var/www/html in both I have test_folder2
<Directory /var/www/test_folder>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
test_folder and it's index.html are 775. I have tried changing ownership
from user:user to user:root and user:apache but errors persist.
I can access the latter with localhost/test_folder2/index.html but
cannot access folders in /var/www I don't particularly want everything
in /var/www/html/
I get error You do not have permission to access
What am I missing in this scenario.
Help much appreciated
thanks
