rsync not backing up all files
by Robert Moskowitz
I am getting ready for a new install to f20 (currently still lagging
behind on f17). I attached a 2TB USB drive, stopped MOST tasks (firefox
with 16 open windows, a few terminals some running SSH, and VNC), and
ran the following:
$ rsync -ah --stats ./ /run/media/rgm/6XW1484R/lx120e.htt/rgm/backup-131218
Number of files: 30174
Number of files transferred: 25251
Total file size: 34.93G bytes
Total transferred file size: 34.93G bytes
Literal data: 34.93G bytes
Matched data: 0 bytes
File list size: 776.54K
File list generation time: 0.121 seconds
File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds
Total bytes sent: 34.94G
Total bytes received: 499.44K
sent 34.94G bytes received 499.44K bytes 23.53M bytes/sec
total size is 34.93G speedup is 1.00
==================================================
So the question is why were ~5k files NOT copied? Properties on
/home/rgm shows ~42GB disk used.
I am going to do a clean install to a new 256GB SSD drive (hopeing to
get more inflight operating time), so backing up everything to restore
seems important. Unless there are that many hidden files MOST of which
(need ./.ssh for example) are not needed.
Plus I would like rsync to report how long it actually took to run. I
can't find an option for that.
thank you for your help.

Cron vs. Whenjobs vs. Goaljobs
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I'm interested in a replacement for cron which would allow me to run
various cron jobs on demand, and mark them as having been run, so they
won't be run again from the schedule. Looking through the Fedora
repository, I noticed whenjobs, which looks like it may do the job (no
pun intended). The documentation for whenjobs says that it is obsolete
and has been replaced by goaljobs.
Has anyone tried out whenjobs or goaljobs. Any problems? Will they do
what I need done?
Thanks - jon

Dumb gdm question
by Mark Eggers
Fedora 20 (from fedup)
Dell Inspiron N7110
Intel Integrated Graphics Controller
With Fedora 19, the GDM login screen would blank after a certain amount of
time. With Fedora 20, this no longer happens.
I would like to restore Fedora 19's behaviour, so I can leave the laptop
on and access it remotely without having the GDM login screen showing.
I can always just log in on the laptop and let the normal screen saver
kick in (which works), but I'd rather revert to the previous behaviour.
What / where GDM tweaks do I need to make in order to get this?

f20 - customize installed software
by Robert Moskowitz
I did not find where I can really customize the software install. I can
select Gnome 3 and a few packages, but I cannot specifically remove and
add packages. Or at least I did not see a customize install button.
Perhaps it was off my screen? The ASUS is a little short, but
<Alt-mouse> did not move the dialog around to see if there was anything
near the bottom.

f20 - hostname
by Robert Moskowitz
During install I did not find a dialog to set my host name (FQDN).
Somehow it picked up what I like for host, but the domain part it is
picking up from dhcp of the subnet I was on during the install. I want
to force the whole fqdn regardless of where I am.
I did go through the network dialogs, expecting it to be there, but I
did not see it. That is a dialog to set the hostname.

f20 - SD card dropping to read-only after suspend/resume
by Robert Moskowitz
I have an SD card all the time in my Asus ee900 that I have just put f20
i386 on. I close the system regularly then open it up, unlock and do
something. On f17, this was not a problem. I just realized that the SD
card would become read-only after resume. i have to unmount it, remove
it, and reinsert it to get it writeable. I also have to close the copy
of Nautilus that was open and start a new copy to actually access the SD
card (even though it shows listed). I know the problem is not just in
Nautilus, because in a terminal window, I cannot cp a file to the SD card.
A bug I guess? I am getting ready to do a reinstall on the system. I
have learned a few things, see there was a BIG update last night (600Mb
download for each i386 and x86_64).

gmvault fails on fedora 17
by M. Fioretti
Greetings,
I'm testing gmvault (http://gmvault.org/) a gmail backup tool, on fedora 17 x86_64.
I have followed all the instructions (enable the app, change gmail
settings etc) in the install page:
http://gmvault.org/gmail_setup.html
However, the program aborts with the python error below, which to me
seems related to some python library on Fedora not being the right
version. Any feedback is appreciated!
TIA,
Marco
