Syncing Android phones w/ Fedora & Evolution
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
Previously, I used a Palm Centro phone and used J-Pilot to sync data
(contacts, calendar, notes, and tasks) via USB cable. Fairly easy to
configure and use.
Since, I've acquired an Android phone (HTC Design 4G), PIM data doesn't
seem to be as easy to manage by way of a direct link between a Fedora
Linux desktop and an Android phone.
An easy way is by way of a Gmail account. However, the hope has been to
avoid this possibility.
My progress (and I guess my ambition ) is slow in this venture.
Nevertheless, I've begun syncing my contacts via OneMediaHub/Funambol. So
far it seems to work. OneMediaHub also syncs calendars. Hopefully, I'll
use that soon.
However, that still leaves Tasks/ToDos and Notes, neither of which is done
with either Gmail or OneMediaHub.
There are two Android Apps that enable importing notes created under Palm
(Note Everything, and PalmNote). But that still doesn't solve the sync
problem.
There is Evernote, a current rage in note-taking apps, highly
multimedia-oriented, and cloud-based. However, I would prefer avoiding
using this.
Much thanks for all advice,
Max Pyziur

Building a 1pb volume
by Will Yonker
Hi,
I'm looking to build a 1PB (usable) volume on a Fedora or
Redhat platform. The volume (has to be a single volume) will be
shared out by NFS. My considerations in the order of importance
are:
Data loss
Cost
Speed
I am currently
considering some less expensive storage arrays using 4TB SAS disks in 5+1
RAID 5 configurations (each array would be responsible for 10 such
volumes). This will give me one level of protection. Then I'm
going to propose a DR site with a full second set of storage. That
will give me a 2nd level of protection.
Now I would like a 3rd
level of protection and I thought about using GlusterFS. If I read
it right, it would duplicate the data in a way so that it doesn't reside
in a single place.Â
So, has anyone used Gluster?Â
Does anyone have any other suggestions that might work for a situation
like this? All options are currently on the table so it's play
time! :)
Thanks!

Spot's Chromium update not working; how to debug/report
by Ted Roche
I've got spot's Chromium repo (
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/) installed on my
system and Chromium has been successfully updated in the past. This
morning, however, the update has left me with an unusable Chromium (version
23.0.1271.95, x86_64 arch on Fedora 16). Starting the browser results in
the "Oh, snap!" message and nothing from the navigation bar nor menu
(About, Help) changes the display. I uninstalled and reinstalled this
version (along with the v8 and webrtl dependencies) and see the same
problem.
Starting chromium-browser with either of the options --incognito or
--temp-profile has the same result. No errors are echoed to the terminal.
/var/log/messages shows:
Jan 9 10:33:45 athena kernel: [ 8962.396311] chromium-browse[3556]:
segfault at 122 ip 00007fbd03909de3 sp 00007fbce89c5bb0 error 6 in
chromium-browser[7fbd0272d000+474f000]

chromium-browser[7fbd0272d000+474f000]
I'd welcome suggestions on how to fix this, or where/how I can post a bug
report.

They are supposed to be unique *per machine* - you can have two nics on
the same machine with the same MAC although this is rare.

Never seen a Sun ;) ?
On SUN sparc stations, _all_ the nics have the same mac-address, based on the system-ID.
So you can swap Ethernet boards, while your MAC remains the same.

What is status of vgaswitcheroo in Fed17/Fed18?
by Alexander Volovics
Is anybody using vgaswitcheroo with Optimus(Intel/Nvidia) in
Fed17 (or Fed18) with the 'i915' and 'nouveau' drivers.
Does it work?
Does it work dependably?
Is it a viable alternative to bbswitch?
If you switch to 'integrated' does it stay switched after
shutdown/reboot/hibernate/suspend or do you have to set the
switch anew at each boot?
Are there any gotcha's?

How to disable NMI watchdog?
by Subhas Sing
Hello, I am trying to install vmware server in Fedora 16. I tried to disable NMI watchdog kernel parameter. Can anybody please let me know how do it ? I followed following procedure but without success!!
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog If you get a '1', then the feature is enabled and must be turned off or VMs will mysteriously crash. To turn off nmi_watchdog is different for Fedora 15 and Fedora 16: [5] Fedora 15: Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and add “nmi_watchdog=0” to the kernel line.[5] Fedora 16: Edit /etc/default/grub and add “nmi_watchdog=0” to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Then run:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg”
to rebuild the grub configuration.
Now, reboot the system and check the /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog parameter again to make sure you see a '0'.

[ hang forever ... ]
I see NO messages in /var/log/messages that could be relevant.
This is uname -r
