radeon video +Fedora21 +steam games
by Paul Cartwright 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

I downloaded some steam games and I keep getting openGLX errors trying to play them. Does it work with FLGRX video driver, or am I missing something? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587

kernel-3.19.3-200.fc21.x86_64 fails to boot

One of the configured repositories failed (Fedora 21 - x86_64) when running "docker build" on F21:
by Kevin Wilson 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hi, I have the follwing problem, running on Fedora 21, with docker-io-1.5.0-2.fc21.x86_64: I have this Dockerfile: cat Dockerfile FROM fedora MAINTAINER tester RUN yum -y update && yum clean all RUN yum -y install httpd When I am running docker build -t test . I get: Sending build context to Docker daemon 3.072 kB Sending build context to Docker daemon Step 0 : FROM fedora ---> 834629358fe2 Step 1 : MAINTAINER tester ---> Using cache ---> 16e9f95d5ab0 Step 2 : RUN yum -y update && yum clean all ---> Running in 88b98222885a One of the configured repositories failed (Fedora 21 - x86_64), and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this: 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem. 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the packages for the previous distribution release still work). 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage: yum-config-manager --disable fedora 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable. Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands, so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice compromise: yum-config-manager --save --setopt=fedora.skip_if_unavailable=true Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: fedora/21/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again INFO[0042] The command [/bin/sh -c yum -y update && yum clean all] returned a non-zero code: 1 Any ideas what can be the reason for this? Regards, Kevin

sticky keys
by Stuart McGraw 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

And yet another problem with Fedora-21... When I press my Shift keys quickly a few times (which I often do unconsciously while thinking about what to type), I get a notification that "sticky keys have been enabled". I then get a lot of odd keyboard effects such as every word typed being capitalized or the keyboard acting like the control key is permanently pressed. Googling seems to indicate this is an old problem going back to the mid-2000's. I tried one of the solutions I found: install xkbset and run "xkbset -a" at login time via Application Autostart tab in the Settings and Startup dialog (this is Xfce). That seemed to work for a while but the problem's come back. The auto-startup setting is still there, still enabled. While I was typing this, something called "slow keys became enabled making it impossible to continue typing this message until I logged out and back in again. None of the options in the accessibility applet are enabled (I'm pretty sure, having worked around the problem of dialogs not showing checkmarks). What do I need to do to permanently put a stake in the throat of this nasty little Sticky Keys virus? <rant> I seldom rant in public but I've got to say that installing Fedotra-21 was the worst experience I have ever had installing Linux (in terms of the endless amount of brokeness) -- and I have been using Redhat going back to the 3.x days (that's *Redhat*, not Redhat Enterprise; not Fedora). I don't think it is me. I did a pretty plain vanilla install and except for some of the usual audio/video stuff from rpmfusion, am using packages straight out of the Fedora-21 repo. Plain vanilla hardware that ran Fedora-15 fine for several years. Has Fedora become too focused on release schedules and lost interest in quality control? Or are all these problems coming from xfce?

Re: wget issue

aha.. we have success... steps to repeat: generate the base page to get the initial content, as well as the cookie wget -S "https://isiscc.smc.edu/pls/apex/f?p=123:1:12101780574999:::::" -O smc.dat extract the required cookie: ORA_WWV_APP_123=ORA_WWV-HtXgmY8ZHOxc5O9zc8N8j6tP >>>>ORA_WWV-HtXgmY8ZHOxc5O9zc8N8j6tP<<< this goes in the wget as the cookie header use the returned smc.dat file to determine the required attributes that change. In this case, we need &p_instance=257747591540 &p_page_submission_id=4686527047365 &p_page_checksum=DB5BF68CB0895706468BB180F90F4C3B search/copy these vals from the data in order to generate the post data, you can do it in a couple of ways. I viewed the returned post data from a few different pages of the site in my fav viewer/debugger, and determined that all of the variables appear to be the same/consistent. For real accuracy, and in a crawler, it would be useful to simply do a xpath on the hidden name/vals and use that data to generate the post-data. but we cheat for now: so the base post-data consists of p_flow_id=123&p_flow_step_id=1&p_request=SUBMIT&p_arg_names=6371933991931405031&p_t01=Spring+2015&p_arg_names=6362920808091113318&p_t02=1+%2C+2+%2C+3+%2C+4+%2C+5+%2C+6+%2C+7+%2C+12&p_arg_names=6362811294857854001&p_t03=%27OPEN%27+%2C+%27CLOSED%27&p_arg_names=6374897696943587288&p_t04=20151&p_arg_names=3851224476948135099&p_t05=1&p_arg_names=3851225084220137224&p_t06=2&p_arg_names=6361666501512343398&p_arg_names=6362829299321902607&p_arg_names=6363404907668258054&p_arg_names=6363528795332614067&p_arg_names=6363575091232717019&p_arg_names=6363649096707888902&p_arg_names=3851458085236906098&p_t13=April+++++02%2C+2015+%40+12%3A05+pm&p_arg_names=6372068906550664708&p_t14=cls_web_list_20151&p_arg_names=6372277789412047762&p_t15=web_cat_sched_20151&p_arg_names=6361721707633487104&p_t16=where+cat_grp_seq_num+in+%28cat_grp_seq_num%29+and+cls_status+in+%28%27OPEN%27+%2C+%27CLOSED%27%29+and+print_seq+in+%28print_seq%29+and+print_seq+in+%281+%2C+2+%2C+3+%2C+4+%2C+5+%2C+6+%2C+7+%2C+12%29+and+nvl%28gnr_emply_name%2C%27*%27%29+in+%28nvl%28gnr_emply_name%2C%27*%27%29%29+and+nvl%28ssn_days%2C%27*%27%29+in+%28nvl%28ssn_days%2C%27*%27%29%29+and+sct_begin_week+in+%28sct_begin_week%29+and+nvl%28begin_time%2C%270%27%29+in+%28nvl%28begin_time%2C%270%27%29%29&p_md5_checksum=&p_instance=257747591540&p_page_submission_id=4686527047365&p_page_checksum=DB5BF68CB0895706468BB180F90F4C3B&p_v07=80 the class ID p_v07 changes based on the sel/opt within the page -80 happens to be for chem. &p_v07=80 so combining everything together... we get the wget wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: ORA_WWV_APP_123=ORA_WWV-HtXgmY8ZHOxc5O9zc8N8j6tP" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009061118 Fedora/3.0.11-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.11" -O - --post-data="p_flow_id=123&p_flow_step_id=1&p_request=SUBMIT&p_arg_names=6371933991931405031&p_t01=Spring+2015&p_arg_names=6362920808091113318&p_t02=1+%2C+2+%2C+3+%2C+4+%2C+5+%2C+6+%2C+7+%2C+12&p_arg_names=6362811294857854001&p_t03=%27OPEN%27+%2C+%27CLOSED%27&p_arg_names=6374897696943587288&p_t04=20151&p_arg_names=3851224476948135099&p_t05=1&p_arg_names=3851225084220137224&p_t06=2&p_arg_names=6361666501512343398&p_arg_names=6362829299321902607&p_arg_names=6363404907668258054&p_arg_names=6363528795332614067&p_arg_names=6363575091232717019&p_arg_names=6363649096707888902&p_arg_names=3851458085236906098&p_t13=April+++++02%2C+2015+%40+12%3A05+pm&p_arg_names=6372068906550664708&p_t14=cls_web_list_20151&p_arg_names=6372277789412047762&p_t15=web_cat_sched_20151&p_arg_names=6361721707633487104&p_t16=where+cat_grp_seq_num+in+%28cat_grp_seq_num%29+and+cls_status+in+%28%27OPEN%27+%2C+%27CLOSED%27%29+and+print_seq+in+%28print_seq%29+and+print_seq+in+%281+%2C+2+%2C+3+%2C+4+%2C+5+%2C+6+%2C+7+%2C+12%29+and+nvl%28gnr_emply_name%2C%27*%27%29+in+%28nvl%28gnr_emply_name%2C%27*%27%29%29+and+nvl%28ssn_days%2C%27*%27%29+in+%28nvl%28ssn_days%2C%27*%27%29%29+and+sct_begin_week+in+%28sct_begin_week%29+and+nvl%28begin_time%2C%270%27%29+in+%28nvl%28begin_time%2C%270%27%29%29&p_md5_checksum=&p_instance=257747591540&p_page_submission_id=4686527047365&p_page_checksum=DB5BF68CB0895706468BB180F90F4C3B&p_v07=80" -L "https://isiscc.smc.edu/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept" now, it might be useful to test to see if this will also work against the base initial page of wget -S "https://isiscc.smc.edu/pls/apex/f?p=123:1:0::NO:RP:" -O smc.dat I suspect it should thanks for your help on this..

wget issue
by bruce 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hey guys. I know this isn't a fed/linux issue, but thought I might get some pointers. This has also been posted to the wget list as well. Trying to fetch class content from a site. Tested the site, using firefox/firebug appears the site does a couple of calls. Created a quick shell script to implement the test calls, but for some reason, cant seem to generate the actual class list. Steps: -fire off the initial page -select the 1st dept "accounting" - use/leave the rest of the defaults -implement the "select" btn, to generate the backend calls. -in the testing of the 2nd step, the test uses the actual post-data as generated via the firefox/firebug test The results of the 2nd call - returns the same data as the initial call to the base page. I assume Im missing something simple, or else the app is doing some jscript on the backend that I'm not seeing. using -vvv for verbosity doesn't point to anything as far as I can tell. Thoughts/pointers are welcome. thanks #!/bin/sh -v # # test shell for wget # # smc_curl.sh #smc wget -vvv --no-check-certificate --cookies=on --load-cookies=smc.lwp --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies=smc.lwp --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009061118 Fedora/3.0.11-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.11" -O - "https://isiscc.smc.edu/pls/apex/f?p=123:1:4004293957286646::NO:RP::" #exit wget -vvv --no-check-certificate --cookies=on --load-cookies=smc.lwp --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies=smc.lwp --referer="https://isiscc.smc.edu/pls/apex/f?p=123:1:4004293957286646::NO:RP::" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009061118 Fedora/3.0.11-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.11" -O - --post-data="p_flow_id=123&p_flow_step_id=1&p_instance=9199705513605&p_page_submission_id=10860495851326&p_request=SUBMIT&p_arg_names=6371933991931405031&p_t01=Spring+2015&p_arg_names=6362920808091113318&p_t02=1+%2C+2+%2C+3+%2C+4+%2C+5+%2C+6+%2C+7+%2C+12&p_arg_names=6362811294857854001&p_t03=%27OPEN%27+%2C+%27CLOSED%27&p_arg_names=6374897696943587288&p_t04=20151&p_arg_names=3851224476948135099&p_t05=1&p_arg_names=3851225084220137224&p_t06=2&p_arg_names=6361666501512343398&p_v07=5&p_arg_names=6362829299321902607&p_arg_names=6363404907668258054&p_arg_names=6363528795332614067&p_arg_names=6363575091232717019&p_arg_names=6363649096707888902&p_arg_names=3851458085236906098&p_t13=April+++++02%2C+2015+%40+05%3A05+am&p_arg_names=6372068906550664708&p_t14=cls_web_list_20151&p_arg_names=6372277789412047762&p_t15=web_cat_sched_20151&p_arg_names=6361721707633487104&p_t16=where+cat_grp_seq_num+in+%28cat_grp_seq_num%29+and+cls_status+in+%28%27OPEN%27+%2C+%27CLOSED%27%29+and+print_seq+in+%28print_seq%29+and+print_seq+in+%281+%2C+2+%2C+3+%2C+4+%2C+5+%2C+6+%2C+7+%2C+12%29+and+nvl%28gnr_emply_name%2C%27*%27%29+in+%28nvl%28gnr_emply_name%2C%27*%27%29%29+and+nvl%28ssn_days%2C%27*%27%29+in+%28nvl%28ssn_days%2C%27*%27%29%29+and+sct_begin_week+in+%28sct_begin_week%29+and+nvl%28begin_time%2C%270%27%29+in+%28nvl%28begin_time%2C%270%27%29%29&X01=current&p_md5_checksum=&p_page_checksum=D0B7E209D8B98CC0A86474C8266D5F59" "https://isiscc.smc.edu/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept" exit

F21: Save session on logout issues
by Max Pyziur 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Greetings, Xfce gives you the option to save your session on logout. In earlier versions, all of my tabbed sessions of Gedit and Gnome-Terminal would be restored. Now, with an F21 setup, only Firefox comes up restored. At best, Gedit is opened, but in a new document setting. Any pointers on whether or not this can be changed so that Gedit and Gnome-Terminal sessions are restored? Or is this a new, undocumented feature? Thanks. Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Emacs and Ibus in Fedora-21
by Stuart McGraw 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

I just moved from Fedora-15 to Fedora-21 and another breakage that occurs is using Emacs with Ibus. I've been using Emacs since the dark ages and I also need to enter and edit Japanese text. This worked fine through many versions of Fedora and Ibus (or its predecessors) up to Fedora-15 when I had to start running Emacs with a command like "LC_TYPE=ja_JP.utf8 emacs" to get it to accept Japanese characters. Now in Fedora-21, the above command now longer works and I can't find any way of getting Emacs to input Japanese characters other than its own very awkward and poor built-in IME. It appears the migration to a completely broken combination has been completed successfully. :-( Googling has not turned up much beyond a bunch of non-working, contradictory or old information. Is there any way to get Emacs to work with Ibus?
