UEFI system: reboot does not work but shutdown -r now does
by Ranjan Maitra 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

Hi, On a new UEFI-boot desktop running Fedora 22, the command (on a terminal prompt) "reboot" does not actually bring up the system. Actually, it is not clear that the system even goes down. What happens is that the monitor light goes off but the desktop light stays on -- and nothing happens. I don't even see the Fedora f/infinity bubble. However, running "shutdown -r now" brings the Fedora f/infinity bubble, the lights switch and the system boots again. What is the issue here? Any suggestions? I have never had this happen previously, but then this my first try at a UEFI system. Is it possible to disable "reboot" -- i am concerned about "reboot"ing remotely by habit and accident and the system not coming up until being powered on. I considered renaming the file /usr/sbin/reboot to something else, but then an update to systemd would likely break my "fix". Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt. Please respond to the mailing list if appropriate.

Mounting exfat usb stick
by JD 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

$ grep sdc1 /etc/fstab UUID=BE5F-383B /sdc1 exfat noauto,rw,user,uid=508,gid=508 1 1 # cat /etc/fuse.conf # mount_max = 1000 user_allow_other $ mount /sdc1 FUSE exfat 1.0.1 fusermount: option blkdev is privileged So I tried as root, and it mounted OK: mount | grep sdc1 /dev/sdc1 on /sdc1 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=508,group_id=508,allow_other,blksize=4096) then as root I tried to copy a file to /sdc1: # cp rpms.list /sdc1/ cp: cannot create regular file ‘/sdc1/rpms.list’: No such file or directory So, what else need I do so that regular users can mount and write to usb sticks that are formatted as exfat FS? These are the relevant rpms installed: fuse-exfat-1.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64 exfat-utils-1.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64

Fwd: Help a friend skip Windows 10 and try GNU/Linux
by JD 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Free Software Foundation Dear , We can't stop all the millions of people who are installing Windows 10 right now, but we can influence our friends and family to skip Windows and join us in the free world. As you know, Windows 10 puts those that use it under the thumb of Microsoft, while free software treats users as equals and gives them control over their digital lives. *Pledge to help a friend switch to GNU/Linux today. <https://www.fsf.org/windows/pledge>* We've also created a new area on our site for people interested in switching from Windows <https://www.fsf.org/windows>. Check it out, and share it with your friends to get them excited about joining you in the free world. The FSF maintains a list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions <http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html>, and there are myriad resources online for getting started. If your friend wants to try free software but can't be persuaded to leave Windows quite yet, show them these free programs that work on Windows <http://www.gnu.org/software/for-windows.html>. If they're thinking about buying a new computer, show them the laptops we certify through our Respects Your Freedom program <https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom>. If they're the type that builds their own computer, they can use h-node <https://h-node.org/>, the community-maintained database of computer components that work well with free software. We can't hope to match Microsoft's huge advertising budget, but if you're on social media (see our recommendations <https://www.fsf.org/share> for user-respecting social media systems) you can help raise awareness of Windows' abuses and encourage people to switch, in your own words. Help us jam Microsoft's ridiculous #UpgradeYourWorld hashtag by including it in your posts encouraging people to steer clear of Windows.

keyboard

Hello, In fedora 22, where can I say to start the first graphics screen (login) to load the right keyboard? It is set properly in Setting > Region & Language > Input Screen Every time that I logout out, it return to the wrong keyboard. Is it something to set in grub? In Fedora 20, this was OK.

fragile Live Fedora ? Device-mapper Snapshot vs. Layered Fs solution (AUFS or Overlayfs)
by derek 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org I tend to run Live Linux on laptop for months without a shutdown (suspend / resume only). Ubuntu and Mint work in this mode well, until recently I want to give Fedora a chance, but it failed with IO Errors like this, when I did sudo yum install something (or dnf install something), this is always reproducible kernel panic whenever I run it on laptop physical hardware, or in kvm, with the current Fedora 22 Workstation image, I tested a few other spins as well, failed the same https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/ https://labs.fedoraproject.org/security/download/index.html I wonder is this a well known issue ? on Fedora Bugzilla database ? If under Live OS mode, the / doesn't support writing how can it be called Live ? I researched a little more and figured out because Fedora Live mode runs on top of dev-mapper snapshot driver while Ubuntu runs on Overlayfs that looks more stable; wonder are there some technical reasons why Fedora use dev-mapper snapshot such immature driver ?

Hi! I have been struggling installing Fedora on a friend's MBA as the local SSD doesn't seem to be recognized. I found a few posts online with various degrees of luck, unfortunately they never mentioned with MBA is used and that didn't work for me. Does anyone has (positive?) experience on the topic? Thank you. Fred

FAIL: Thunderbird: Replying to thread
by Rich Emberson 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

I use gmail. When I reply to a thread using Thunderbird, the response never shows up, but, if I include the email of the person who wrote the thread I am responding to, that person gets the email. On the other hand, if I log in to my gmail account, the I can post a response, that that response appears as a new, top-level discussion thread. How do I response to a message in a thread using Thunderbird and have the users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org accept it? Thanks Richard
