Is systemd failing to wait for USB now?
by Tom Horsley
I've always had problems with systemd not actually waiting for the
network to be up before letting network dependent services run.
Now the last couple of updates I've installed I have a new
symptom: The system appears to (sometimes) zoom right past something
that would allow USB to work correctly. My USB keyboard and mouse
won't work, I get mail about the system losing connection to the
APC UPS box (which is plugged into a completely different
USB port than the keyboard and mouse).
Is anyone else getting random USB failures at boot?
At least I can ssh into the system and run shutdown, and USB
(so far) has worked correctly following a powerup from
scratch.
Maybe I should just stop using reboot and always power down :-).

sound troubles
by Amadeus W.M.
So I'm trying to get sound working on a Raspberry Pi model B running Pidora
which is the Fedora (20?) port to RPi. There is no sound configuration upon
first boot, the way it is in the regular Fedora, so I'm guessing I have to
configure pulseaudio and alsa manually.
Does anyone know how sound is configured first time in Fedora? If there is a
tool that does that, I could call it on the RPi.
The sound device on the RPi uses the snd_bcm2835 driver, which (for reasons I don't
understand) is compiled into the kernel, so the driver should not be the problem.
I run
pulseaudio -D --log-target=file:pulse.log # as normal user
aplay -l # still as normal user
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
However, as root
[root@apollo ~]# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]
Subdevices: 8/8
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
Subdevice #4: subdevice #4
Subdevice #5: subdevice #5
Subdevice #6: subdevice #6
Subdevice #7: subdevice #7
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 1: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
But even as root,
[root@apollo ~]# amixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
amixer: Mixer attach default error: Connection refused
Similarly for other alsa
Short of some tool to probe for the devices and configure the sound,
can someone point me or guide me to configure all this manually?
Thanks!
P.S. I did post this on the relevant RPi forum, but I haven't got a reply and
I doubt I'll get one. That's probably because the mainstream linux on the
RPi is raspbian - a version of debian - in which sound seems to work, so
things must be configured properly for the RPi in raspbian. Fedora is a
different story.

Re: Fedora 21 pulseaudio

The only way I am getting it to work is to force it..
/etc/pulse/default.pa

Fedora 21 pulseaudio
by Chad Kellerman
Hope someone can offer some suggestions here....
I converted my desktop from Arch to Fedora last night and I am having some
sound issues.
from journalctl -f:

Card 0:0 sort of works if I:
aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav
** I say sort of because it plays through both front speakers, not just the
Front Right.
Anyways, I've tried a couple of things that I've googles, but nothing seems
to work in getting sound working..
I put in /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type plug slave.pcm {
type hw card 0 device 0
}
}
and blacklisted pcspkr (This is all I needed to do in Arch.)
Anyone have an suggestions on getting sound to work?
Thanks,
Chad

duplicity and S3
by Pal, Laszlo
Hello,
Is there anyone out there using duplicity with Amazon S3 backend? Last
night I was trying to set-up some backup with this, but I'm always
getting message "backend cannot be accessed". Google does not help,
however I've found some article on bugs of the python module used.
So, the question is is there any working solution for fedora using S3
as backup destination?
Thanks

Editing wav media information
by Robert Moskowitz
Is there a simple program for editing a wav files media information?
Like the name of the track displayed in VLC?
Prefer a Xfce tool, but KDE or Gnome is fine also. Just looking for
something simple, not audacity...

computer boot (some times) in emergency mode.
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
my computer often (not all the time) has problem at booting ...
When it happen, it boot to emergency mode...
(after I install new updates, then this problem occurs regularly)
The message that I get, when the problem come, are (approximately):
========================
Welcome to emergency mode! after logging in , type "journalctl -xb" to view
system log .......

I read that this problem happen frequently; and it is not sure if is a HD
problem or a SW problem...
Someone suggest to disable the ports of all bus not SATA in the bios...
In this other link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1034762
someone said that, on Ubuntu, he was able to solve the problem changing
options in the file /etc/modprobe.d/options
= = = = =
It's Kernel bug on ata acpi
Put "options libata noacpi=1" on /etc/modprobe.d/options
= = = = =
In my case surly the problem is connected with the HD; this because,
trying to change HD, the problem disappeared only re-plugging the caves of
the HD.

UEFI -
by Bob Goodwin
I had a failure last week and have just received a new motherboard to
replace the old one. I see that it has a lot of wonderful features for
Windows that I don't need, among them UEFI.
Am I going to have trouble running Fedora 21 on it? I guess I need to
know that before installing it. The instruction manual is of little
help, mainly describes installing it as a Windows 8 system using the
included installation disk, none of which I will ever see.
