Auto login to instant messaging in Gnome
by Peter Oliver
When I logged in to Fedora 19/Gnome 3.8 I was automatically connected to my
instant messaging networks and received notifications from Gnome if I
received a message.
Now I've upgraded my laptop to Fedora 20/Gnome 3.10 I find that this does
not happen. I only receive instant messages in this manner if I first open
and then close empathy.
I imagine that as a workaround I can add "empathy --start-hidden" as a
Startup Program in gnome-session-properties.
What I wondered is, does anyone know whether this is a feature or a bug?

F19: how to name interface, persistently
by sean darcy
On F19 how do I create persistent rules for ethernet interfaces?

> # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
> # program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.

But they are switched
:
ifconfig

.............................

related question -- how do i interpret the cronie "dailyjobs" dependency?
by Robert P. J. Day
sorry, i should have added this to the previous question -- when i
check the dependencies of the "cronie" package on fedora 20, i see:
# rpm -qR cronie
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
config(cronie) = 1.4.11-4.fc20
coreutils
dailyjobs
... snip ...
first, if i want to see what that "config(cronie)" dependency
represents, my first guess is to just list the package's config files
with:
# rpm -qc cronie
/etc/cron.deny
/etc/pam.d/crond
/etc/sysconfig/crond
#
is that the proper way to list the files that corresponds to?
also, what is that "dailyjobs" entry? there's no such package and if
i list verbosely, i get:
# rpm -qRv cronie
... snip ...
manual: dailyjobs
... snip ...
#
so what does that entry represent and where is it defined? thanks.

Why did SELinux relable my filesystem?
by Steven P. Ulrick
Hello, Everyone
During my most recent re-boot, SELinux relabled my entire filesystem.
Which would be fine, except for the fact that I have SELinux disabled
on my system:
> # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
> # SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
> # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
> # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
> # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
> SELINUX=disabled
> # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
> # targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
> # minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected
> processes are protected. # mls - Multi Level Security protection.
> SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Why did SELinux, which is disabled on my system, spend all that time re-labeling my filesystem?

fedup and selinux
by Bill Murray
Dear all,
I had trouble persuading 'fedup --network 20' to run on my f19
laptop. It install all the files and gets ready. Then it boots and gets
as far as:
[ OK ] Started trigger flushing of journal to persistent storage
[ OK ] Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth
[ OK ] Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth
[ OK] Started Recreate Volatile files and Directories
There are then 3 lines of selinux permission denied. But no problem,
selinux is set permissive anyway.
Earlier on I see 'dracut-initqueue[400] failed to issue method call:
Access denied'
However, when I add selinux=0 to the command line..installation proceeds.
This is very odd - selinux was in permissive mode.
This is a bug I think?

Reverse E-Mail Blockage.....
by EGO-II.1
Hello you Ferdorans! (FedorIANS?...) I have a question,.....now....we
all know that there's ways to block unwanted email from your system
using Message Filters, and they work by blocking a certain domain or
email address and prevent them from hitting your Inbox, I would like to
know if anyone knows of a way to filter your messages in a sort of
"reverse" order.....in other words instead of me telling the Mail Filter
Rule: Block anything with the email address of (ABC@123) I would like it
to be "Allow everything from (123@ABC) and block "Everything Else"...how
would one go about doing this using Fedora 20 and Thunderbird? Any help
would be greatly appreciated
Thank You

Fedora 20 Problems on Dell XPS 41z
by Dave Cross
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a really happy email about how well
the upgrade from F19 to F20 had gone on my laptop. Now, I'm not so
happy. There are two problems that are close to being deal-breakers
for me.
1/ The laptop doesn't wake from suspension
I close my laptop and it goes to sleep. When I open it, I expect it to
wake up again. This has worked well on every laptop I've owned on
every version of Fedora, until now. Now when I open the laptop, I'm
just presented with a small Fedora logo in the middle of the screen.
And all I can do is restart the laptop.
2/ Wifi is really flaky
Wifi has become a bit of a lottery. It's just not solid enough to rely
on. Every so often it just stops working. The icon in the notification
bar doesn't change, I just lose all connectivity. The only solution
I've found is to turn the wireless off and back on again. But it can
take five or six attempts for the wifi to reconnect. And when it does
reconnect, half of the time it will drop again within minutes. The
rest of the time I'll get a pretty solid connection that will work for
a few hours before it drops and I have to go though the same cycle
again.
This was starting to be a problem before I upgraded. But Fedora 20 has
made it far worse. Booting the laptop into Windows gives me a
rock-solid connection. And my desktop (also connecting wirelessly and
running Fedora 20) seems far more reliable. It's just the wifi driver
in the laptop that's a problem.
I realise that I haven't given you enough to go on here, but these
kinds of problems are well outside my Linux experience. Tell me what
diagnostics will we helpful and I'll provide them.
Cheers,
Dave...

upgrade fedora 19 to fedora 20 issue with GPG key
by Rafnews
Hi,
before posting on this forum, i checked on internet for this issue and
found several cause and solutions.
i tried several of them but till now none of them worked.
when i try to update fedora 19 to fedora 20 (/fedup --network 20/) i get
the following error message:
/finding updates 100%
[=======================================================================================================================================]//
//verify local files 100%

i tried:
1. yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update fedup
but it didn't help
2. rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-20
but it didn't help
3. fedup-cli --network 20 --nogpgcheck
install things and reboot with error. After complete restart, uname -a
still shows fedora 19 as version of fedora :(
4. rpm -qi fedup
it returns:
/Name : fedup//
//Version : 0.8.0//
//Release : 3.fc19//
//Architecture: noarch//
//Signature : RSA/SHA256, jeu. 12 déc. 2013 16:22:34 CET, Key ID
07477e65fb4b18e6//
//Source RPM : fedup-0.8.0-3.fc19.src.rpm//
////
/so it is the latest version of fedup according to documentation.
therefore what is wrong ?
thx.

GNOME questions on fc20
by Alex
Hi, I have fc20 installed successfully on my desktop.
How can I configure the clock at the top to show the date? Why would
it be so difficult to do such a simple thing? I googled a bit, and saw
a reference to editing dateMenu.js, but the suggestions didn't work. I
can't believe I'd have to edit a text file to adjust the clock?!
I get the whole thing with not being able to (easily) minimize
applications. I know I can also switch between them with alt-tab. I
also know I can select them from "Activities", but that's an extra two
steps. Is there any way to "dock" apps like we used to be able to, so
I can select them with the mouse to choose between them?
Thanks,
Alex
