Google Account in GNOME
by Dave Cross
Soon after I installed Fedora 20 I used the online accounts config
panel to set up my Google account. This worked well for several
months.
A few weeks ago, I changed my Google account password. Ever since
then, GNOME keeps prompting me for my Google account password - but it
won't accept either the new password or the old one. I just have to
cancel the dialog box.
I've tried removing the account and adding it back, but it still won't
accept the password. Every time I wake the system from sleep, I get a
dialog box asking for my Google account password which I have to
cancel.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Dave...

request for DNF package
by Balint Szigeti
hello
I don't know where I should send this email but I'd like to ask the DNF
developer to the DNF application examine the proxy settings and if the
user run the DNF command with debug option list the all steps instead of
yum.
I just had a case when I couldn't install RPMs by yum.
I traced the network traffic, routing, firewall, debug yum, check
network settings but didn't find the problem.
After several hours finally I found the problem. Someone configured
proxy settings which was loaded for all user even though yum should have
used their own proxy setting but it didn't do.
So I'd like to ask the DNF developer, DNF on the latest debug level tell
everything what it does like, reading this config file, reading env
variable, setting these variable, using these proxy, configs,
restrictions etc....
If someone know how I can reach them please answer to me.
Thank you,
Balint

External drive is being mounted as read-only

Hello,
Fedora 20 KDE Thinkpad T420i laptop has started mounting Transcend StoreJet

The system is fully updated. I have recently scrub-ed the external drive to
prepare for backup.
[donnie@fedora ~]$ mount | grep /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/donnie/storejet25m3 type ext4

Problem with grub booting on i386 machine?
by Michael D. Setzer II
I just did some upgrades on machines and found that the i386 machines
where no longer booting. An error message about --unrestricted option on
the grub boot? By manually removing the --unrestricted from the boot by
using the edit option the machines booted. Found this in the
/etc/grub.d/10_linux file. Removed it from there, and then rebuilt grub.cfg with
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and it now boots.
On the X64 machines, there doesn't seem to be any issue, so not clear if this
is an issue with the grub or with the i386 kernels?

BIOS boot partition, 4x3TB disks, and raid, problems with anaconda
by Lars E. Pettersson
Hi!
I tried to set up a system using four 3TB disks as a raid6. The disks
are new, no old partitions laying around. I used a USB stick as install
media (Fedora 20 x86_64 Gnome Live).
I chose manual partitioning to get everything as I wanted. When this was
ready I got the error message that I also needed a BIOS boot partition
(I gather that this due to being rather large disks). I tried to create
one of those, but it seemed to only be created on one of the discs in
the raid array, I wanted it created on all disks, just as the raid
partitions. This to be able to boot from any of the disks in the array
in case of a failure. As it is now, if the main disk dies, I can not
start the system at all.
Actually I ended up having three BIOS boot partition on the first disk,
being 2, 1, and 1 MB large. Which is quite annoying. But that's another
problem...
Before submitting a bug report/RFE on this. Is there anyone out there
that have done this, from anaconda? I.e. creating raid partitions and
BIOS boot partitions on ALL disks? If so, how did you do it?
Lars

Starting programs at the beginning of an xmonad session
by Where Where
Greetings,
Fedora seems to be ignoring my ~/.Xsession file with regards to programs to
start at the beginning of an xmonad session. Is there another magical
configuration file into which I can put programs to run at the beginning of
each session?

Problems with screen to serial usb on F17
by Robert Moskowitz
I have an old F17 Asus Eee700 and trying to hook it to a USB TTL UART as
a serial console to some armv7 systems using screen:
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
I am getting garbage characters. Not all the time, but particularly at
the beginning. I don't see this on either of my two F20 systems:
Lenovo x120e and Asus Eee900.
I can't easily upgrade this Eee700 and I would be happy just using F17
screen. But is this likely to be OS or hardware?

bootstrapping from a USB stick
by D. Hugh Redelmeier
I have an oldish PC that only understands booting from 512-byte
sectors and then only with MBR disks.
I want to install large new disks on it, and no old disks. These
don't even pretend to do 512-byte sectors: 4k all the way (3T and 4T sizes
aren't good for MBR either).
I was thinking that I should be able to use a USB flash memory stick
as the boot device, loading GRUB from there, and then having it boot
the OS from a big GPT hard disk. The stick would be permanently
plugged in.
Is there any reason that this might not work? Is there a better way?
Are there special GRUB modules that I need to convince GRUB's
installer to put on the USB stick?
What filesystem type is best for the USB stick? My guess: ext4 is
fine.
