webalizer replacement?
by Alex
Hi,
I have a fedora23 system with a few web sites, and would like to
generate some stats on them. What are people using for this these
days?
I'd like to find total hits, bandwidth used, geolocation info, etc.
I used to use webalizer, but it appears it's no longer being developed...
Thanks,
Alex

Fedora infra services integration with gnome desktop
by Zoltan Hoppar
Hi,
I am looking for connections, and possible integration with FedoCal,
and other infra fedora services that can be added to my Gnome desktop.
I have seen already OwnCloud solutions, but the question is: Is that
would be possible to use OwnCloud calendar plugin, and others to be
binded with our services?

Yes! It does! Thanks for that - but now that I am on the path of trying
to get the plain old network setup to work . . I will continue down that
path as an intellectual exercise I think . . I don't like getting beaten
by the machine . .

I have:
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/device -> ../../../acer-wmi
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/device -> ../../../acer-wmi
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill2/device -> ../../phy0
So I am presuming 0 is the WiFi.

Doing:
ffkill list
Gives:
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

Doing:
systemctl stop NetworkManager
turns off the WiFi light but does not change the Soft blocked result.
Making changes to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* as recommended
and then doing:
systemctl start network
turns the WiFi light back on (!) but fails with a job error - doing:
systemctl status network
shows:
Bringing uup interface Billion_1: command failed: Network is down
(-100)
Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking
Doing:
ifup Billion_1
Gives:
wlan0 (phy #0): failed to connect, status: 1: Unspecified failure
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
I seem to be making progress but am still not quite there yet. Even
though I have since had pointed out to me a way of getting
NetworkManager to work reliably . . now I have started this exercise, I
would like to get the old network method working . .
Thanks,
Phil.

That might be a more sensible option I admit . . for me, I am always
getting stuff done in Bash scripts and then when it starts getting too
hard or clumsy, switching to Ruby - and I guess I am lazy and I keep
re-using what has already been done and is working . .

Thunderbird problem/question
by JD
I caused a problem for myself in TB (using a different email account).
By accident I had clicked on "Quick Filter", without noticing I had done
that.
Then I had proceeded to highlight all messages in Inbox in order to move
them to
another folder.
As soon as I realized I had done that, I did not proceed with the move.
But now, clicking on any message (be it in Inbox or in Sent) the message is
not displayed.
If I double click on a message, then it is displayed in an external
window of TB.
How can I revert it back to original expected behavior?

OK, that all makes sense but there is a further issue - I was trying to
keep it simple - this whole line is inside a Ruby "system" command ie:
system( "ssh .. " )
- so my working version is the same as your first option (without the
escaped '*'s) but with an extra '\' at each place. I can't use the
second option because I need to use double quotes so that I can use Ruby
variables inside the double quotes eg:
#{path}
Thanks for the explanation!
Regards,
Phil.
