ATA2:00: link is slow to respond....
by Angelo Moreschini 19 Feb '17

19 Feb '17

Hi, my computer boot only in emergency mode ... Looking the journalctl (command journalctl -xb), I found (in thejournalctl ) these lines in red color : ATA2:00: link is slow to respond.... (and after..) ATA200: SRST failed (erro 16) That seem indicate that it is a problem to access the HDs.. I found a possible solution to the problem in this post: http://codeverge.com/opensuse.org.help.install/-solved-ata1-srst-failed-err… There is wrote that :...the problem can depend by the physic set up of the HD (as "master", "slave", "single drive", ...): this set up can be done by changing the position of a jumper on the HD... I know that, in the past time, the HDs had to be set physically in this way.., but recently I never heart anymore that the modern HD need this operation.. So actually I don't care anymore of the configuration of the HDs (my HD is Toshiba 1 TB that I bought few mounts ago). I would like to have a confirmation that what I read in the post is only an obsolete information and, in any case, I would like to know also what I can do to go around in my problem.. >From the command line: ls /dev/sd* I get: give me this input : /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 Thank you regards Angelo

nc missing option -z
by Suvayu Ali 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, I used to use netcat to check if a particular host is up or if I have internet connection before I run a few scripts. I would use the -z option in particular. But now I see that has been removed: $ nc -z imap.gmail.com 993 && sync-my-email.sh ncat: invalid option -- 'z' Here is the excerpt from the old manual page: -z Specifies that nc should just scan for listening daemons, without sending any data to them. It is an error to use this option in conjunction with the -l option. Any ideas what happened to it? What can I use as replacement? Thanks for any ideas. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

F21: Thunderbird insists on calling Fedora list messages junk!
by William Mattison 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Good afternoon, Most messages received from this fedora list are labelled junk by Thunderbird. This is even though I whitelisted "From" = "users-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Actually, I have this problem both in my Fedora-21 and my windows-7 systems. Any ideas? Surely messages from this list are not junk! thanks, Bill.

VNC and sound
by Chris Kottaridis 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

I am running Fedora 22 on a machine that is off in a closet and am using VNC to access it from a machine at my desk. I followed the instructions in System Admin guide chapter 8: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/System_Administrators_G… I successfully got Tiger VNC server working. it was quite easy. Cudos to everyone involved to make that so simple. My VNC client is Windows TigerVNC version 1.5. I don't seem to get sound. It doesn't seem to come out on my VNC client or on the VNC server's sound card. My remote machine is close enough that I could run a wire from it's sound card to the speakers on my desk if that is easier. But, right now I can;t get the sound to come out the VNC server sound card. Any pointers or recommendations are appreciated. Thanks Chris Kottaridis

Fedora mirror speed's are low!
by Mihuleac Sergiu 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi! I'm from Romania, the speed from Fedora repo mirror is very low (from 50kb/s to 1 mb/s when it's good, usually the download speed stays between 50 and 150 kb/s with the official repos and over 1 mb/s with other repos ) when doing updates and when I install packages with dnf. I tried using fastmirror module but I see there is no change and I lose even more time because of the search for the best mirror. 1. What can I do to resolve this issue? 2. Is there a way to manually test mirrors and chose the best one for me? 3. How do I know witch mirror can I trust? 4. Where can I find a mirror list? 5. How can I create a local mirror? --- Best Wishes, Mihuleac Sergiu

Sound not working with F22 on ThinkPad T60
by Dave Johansen 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

I recently did a clean install of F22 Mate Spin from F21 and sound is no longer working. I tried the recommendations from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_sound_problems but nothing seemed to work. Is there anything else I should try? Thanks, Dave

Upgrade advice
by Jeffrey Ross 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to upgrade an older Fedora system and keep as many of the configurations as possible for the applications that are being used. Currently the system is running Fedora 16 and there are at least two things that are preventing me from successfully running fedup or the yum upgrade. The first stumbling block is that system was installed with separate partitions for /, /boot, /var, & /usr and I think that the separation of / and /usr is my biggest issue. The second issue is the system is setup with RAID1 on all partitions with the bootloader (Grub ?) installed on both disks in the event of a disk failure. I would like to avoid a new/clean install (I know I can preserve /home) if at all possible. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks, Jeff
