by Maurizio Marini
I have upgraded f17 to f18 w/ fedora-upgrade and all went smoothly :)
only this issue:
# slapcat
51792415 bdb(dc=my-domain,dc=com): BDB1538 Program version 5.3 doesn't match environment version 5.2
51792415 bdb_db_open: database "dc=my-domain,dc=com" cannot be opened, err -30969. Restore from backup!
51792415 backend_startup_one (type=bdb, suffix="dc=my-domain,dc=com"): bi_db_open failed! (-30969)

I forget to do a backup before upgarding, how can I fix?

How to configure yum to not check for free inodes?
by Clemens Eisserer
Hi,
I am using Fedora-19-Alpha with nilfs2 on /.
While everything worked great with Fedora 17, the updated version of
yum also check for free inodes before executing the transaction:
> Transaction check error:
> installing package ..... needs 40 inodes on the / filesystem
Which is just plain wong in case of nilfs, as it has no inode limit.
Is there any way to disable that check? diskspacecheck=0 in
/etc/yum.conf didn't help unfortunately :/
Thank you in advance, Clemens

Using time zone UTC-5 (or GMT-5, or EST5)
by Bill Davidsen
I am getting some data on mountable media, and the device which writes the files
runs in EST or whatever you want to call five hours west of Greenwich with no
daylight time. The problem is that on a FAT or ISO-9660 filesystem, the date and
time seem to all jump an hour during daylight time. Is there a better way to get
the time correct than to run a separate system which doesn't use daylight savings?
I have tried exporting TZ=EST5 (or EST or UTC-5 or GMT-5) to the mount command
or the rsync command, that doesn't seem to help anything, I need the incoming
data treated as EST, while the machine is at EST5EDT.

Who? Me?? Attacked???
by Beartooth
Arora has just crashed. SELinux reports that I may be under
attack and should report. I'm guessing it's a lot more likely SELinux is
being needlessly paranoid. (I'm running F17, fully updated, and arora had
a probably excessive number of tabs open.)
Is this guess plausible? What should I do?

disk spindown
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
Has anyone succeeded in spinning down disks under Fedora?
I've done the following and the "hdparm -C" does show the disk spun
down, but the next time I look it is spun up, and it stays up. The disk
is unmounted and I've stopped and disabled smartd, so it isn't accessing
the disks. I don't think anything else is either. I'm probably missing
a trick somewhere, but what???
disk=/dev/sdc
hdparm -S 120 $disk
hdparm -y $disk
hdparm -C $disk

"Sticky keyboard" fault?
by Bill Davidsen
I recently got a pop-up say "Sticky keyboard - disabled" and my keyboard stopped
working. My first reaction was that the message was translated to English, and
"stuck key" became "sticky keyboard." Can't think of a sensor for that.
In any case, keyboard was *WAY* disabled, plugging in a USB keyboard didn't
help, ssh from another machine didn't help (keystrtokes not accepted), and I
finally had to reboot the machine, after migrating all the guests elsewhere or
shutting them down. Major PITA.
So is there (supposed to be) a way to clear that? And how does the driver tell a
stuck key from a user holding a key, like a gamer holding down "F" to fire
weapons, as I've seen them do. How is it detected, and please may I make it not
do that? Recovery by boot is a Windows technology, they might have it patented.

I've stopped receiving mail from fedora users
by Sherman Grunewagon
For the past few days I've stopped receiving e-mail from the fedora list.
I' checked my fedora membership mailing list config and found this:
We have received some recent bounces from your address. Your current bounce score is 3.0 out of a maximum of 5.0.
Please double check that your subscribed address is correct and that there are no problems with delivery to this address.
Your bounce score will be automatically reset if the problems are corrected soon.
I can't see anything out of order on my ymail.com account profile. (I've changed nothing.)
There are no filters and no blocking set. I really don't know what to do at this point. Who should I contact and what else should I check?
Any help will be appreciated! (I'll monitor <http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/>)
