mailx help
by Robert Moskowitz
using mailx to supposedly mail to myself with no sendmail. cron is
failing in the mailing and the message ends in dead.letter.
So I mved dead.letter to d1.letter and tried: "mailx -t -q d1.letter"
(and had to issue a cntl-D) and got:
No recipients specified
"/home/rgm/dead.letter" 41/879
Here is the content of d1.letter. Note that there is a 'To:' line but
it seems mailx does not like it?
From: "(Cron Daemon)" <rgm>

Simple substitute for sendmail for cron to use
by Robert Moskowitz
So in keeping with MTA is dead for non-server platforms, I propose the
following to allow for local cron output delivery. Note if the user
wants remote delivery, an MTA MUST be installed.
So basically this script needs to take the output of the cron job and
prepend it to the /var/spool/mail/user where user is from
MAILTO=
I suspect there is a variable with this value to feed into the script.
Since the default mode for cron is '/usr/bin/sendmail -t' we know that
this value is already in the cron output as 'To: MAILTO', so it could be
found there as well. Some mail headers will have to be added to this
cron output, like 'Date: ', 'User-Agent: ', and:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
the script would first check to see if the mail file is there, and if
not try and create it. Terminate on failure with message.
prepend cron output plus other mail headers to mail file. Terminate on
no permissions to write to mail file.
And thus we would have a 'simple' alternative to the one biggie standard
service on a client that wants to send mail.
Anyone interested? Up to the task? I sure am not. I have not written
scripts since it was part of my job description in the mid-90s, and I
forgot all my colleague taught me. :(
Meanwhile I will install only procmail and try that out. Unless Frank
remembers what other magic he used.

Updated to f20, but can only boot f19.
by William Mattison
This is a Fedora - windows dual-boot system, 64-bit.
This afternoon, I updated to Fedora-20 using fedup. But Fedora-20 is
not offered in the boot window. I see three options for Fedora-19, and
a windows option. I can sign on to Fedora-19, but the left and right
screens are reversed! (This is a dual monitor system.) This is a home
system.
I'm not a sys. admin. How do I get this system to boot up Fedora-20?
thanks,
Bill.

spectrum
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Trying to install spectrum on fedora 20 I get:
Error: Package: spectrum-1.4.8-11.fc20.i686 (fedora)
Requires: libgloox.so.8
Available: 1:gloox-1.0.3-1.fc20.i686 (fedora)
libgloox.so.8
Installed: 1:gloox-1.0.9-1.fc20.i686 (@updates)
~libgloox.so.11
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
Trying to do the same with --skip-broken, I get:
Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
spectrum-1.4.8-11.fc20.i686 from fedora
It looks like that spectrum requires libgloox.so.8 while fedora 20
offers only libgloox.so.11 with gloox-1.0.9-1.fc20
This glitch happens with the new release of gloox!
Regards.

Thank-you Chris. I did as suggested. I posted the results in
"pastebin.com" under the username "wcmpaste", and the text is named
"bootinfoscript results". By the way, that took quite a lot of
copy-and-paste operations. Is there a way to just upload the file?
thanks,
Bill.

Annoying "popping" sound when using volume control in FC 19
by William W. Austin
I'm currently running FC 19 on a workstation which has a "multimedia"
keyboard with volume keys. (KDE desktop) Whenever I adjust the volume
using the volume control keys on it, there's a popping sound to
indicate that the volume is changing. It's very intrusive and I want
to get rid of it.
Back in FC16, 17, or 18 I had a solution which stopped the sound from
playing, but somewhere along the way I lost it - either in one of the
reinstalls, in an RPM update, or during something else which diddled
the settings.
I had assumed it would be in a "notifications" setting in the KDE
systems settings. But if it's there, somehow I'm missing it.
Any help on getting rid of this petty annoyance would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
