thinkfan.service and chronyd.service keep failing on Fedora 20
by Sudhir Khanger
Hello,
thinkfan.service and chronyd.service keep failing on boot on my Fedora
20 KDE Thinkpad T420i. Restarting them brings them back to normal
running status.
[donnie@fedora ~]$ systemctl --failed
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
chronyd.service loaded failed failed NTP client/server
thinkfan.service loaded failed failed simple and lightweight fan control program
LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
2 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

remmina
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I have an issue with remmina,
If I connect from machine A, and open session 1, then if I connect from
machine B and try use the same session, I only get the front login page.
What ever I do, kill the session and reopen it, I am stock. The only
option is to restart the machine or reconnect from machine A.
It seems that the sesison 1 is devoted to machine 1 until I reboot!
Is is supposed to work that way?
Thank.

Five Things in Fedora This Week (2014-05-06)
by Matthew Miller
Reposted from
http://fedoramagazine.org/five-things-in-fedora-this-week-2014-05-06/
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to follow it all. This series
highlights interesting happenings in five different areas every week.
It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just quick summaries with links
to each. Here are the five things for May 6th, 2014:
Add Your Art to Fedora
----------------------
Every Fedora release ships with a collection of non-default desktop
wallpaper, provided by (and selected by!) the Fedora community. On his
blog, Fedora Design Team member Sirko Kemter announces that the artwork
submission period for Fedora 21 is now open. Entries must be licensed
under a liberal open content license and meet some basic technical and
content requirements. The deadline is August 16th, but it never hurts
to start creating early.
Both submissions and voting are handled by Nuancier, a web application
dedicated to the task. You can see last year’s results, too!

LinuxFest Northwest
-------------------
The 15th annual LinuxFest Northwest was held last week in (as it always
is) Bellingham, Washington. Fedora was well-represented, of course.
Jeff Sandys provides a brief blog report on the event, with a title
implying more to come. Also worth watching is Brian Lunduke’s annual
“Linux Sucks” report. Make sure to stick around for the second half —
Fedora comes out rather well overall, despite the talk’s
tongue-in-cheek title.

Fedora Regional Budgets
-----------------------
Fedora Ambassadors are the outreach arm of the project — volunteers who
spread the word of our collective greatness. Often, this is through
organizing and attending events, and of course that takes money for
travel, lodging, swag, and so on. Curious how this breaks down? Jiří
Eischmann (a member of FAmSCo, the Fedora Ambassadors Steering
Committee) has a blog post reviewing the (just completed) Fiscal Year
2014 Regional Budgets.

Fedora.next QA Test Plans
-------------------------
Fedora’s Quality Assurance team has been working with the various new
Fedora Working Groups (see the Fedora.next article series if you
haven’t been following along) to create plans for testing the different
products envisioned in the brave new world of Fedora 21 and beyond. At
yesterday’s QA meeting, Adam Williamson, Ankur Sinha, and Mike Ruckman
discussed draft plan documents for Server, Workstation, and Cloud, and
Adam is planning to put the three together and come up with an idea of
what overall test coverage looks like.
Sound interesting to you? Take a look at the Join QA wiki page, or if
you’re especially interested in a particular area, the corresponding
Special Interest Group.

Fedora Dockerfiles Collection
-----------------------------
You’ve probably heard of Docker by now — containers have gained huge
traction as an attractive alternative to full virtualization, and
Docker may be the buzziest container-related technology of all. It
provides a simple command-line tool for fetching special images and
launching them as application containers, where each gets a special
view of the system where it appears to be the only thing running — the
process is isolated from the rest of the system.
Docker containers bring along their entire runtime, so each image is
its own little Fedora (or, of course, other Linux system — CentOS or
Ubuntu or whatever, if you want). And these images are created on top
of a *base image* using a recipe called a Dockerfile. (It’s something
like an RPM spec file or a kickstart script, if you’re familiar with
those.)
Fedora contributor Scott Collier maintains a collection of examples
named, simply enough, `fedora-dockerfiles`, and this week he notes that
there’s a new version. This contains examples including the Apache
httpd webserver, PostgreSQL database, and many more… even a ready-to-go
WordPress installation.
Scott also has quick instructions on building and running images from
these Dockerfiles in an earlier blog post. It’s pretty simple, really —
which is the appeal. Oh, and be aware that we are mostly talking about
*server*applications here, not desktop apps (although containers are a
big topic there too, and it’ll be interesting to see how the ideas come
together).

Set SELinux to allow only httpd daemon to use specific tty device
by Emmanuel Noobadmin
Using Fedora 20 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 and selinux targeted policy.29
I've a PHP application that sends data to a USB tty device e.g.
/dev/usbDataCollector
Unfortunately selinux is blocking this action. When set to permissive,
the alert browser suggests the command: setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
The documentation says Allow all daemons the ability to use
unallocated ttys. This naturally doesn't sound like a good idea
although admittedly it probably won't hurt in this particular
installation. However, I thought it would be good to find the
'correct' solution to this.
But I am unable to find a more fine grain SELinux control for this,
Fedora 20 has no documentation and the only vaguely relevant one I
could find elsewhere is httpd_tty_com which appears unrelated as it is
about allow httpd to communicate with terminal.
So the question is whether there is any way to do this or is allowing
all daemons the only option?

printer
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
Every time that I reboot, I lost the queue configuration of my printer.
I have to remove the printer and add it again.
How can I avoid this disfunctioning in fedora 20?
Thank.

Playing video gone wacky?
by Tom Horsley
Some recent update has completely messed up video playback on
my system. I believe mplayer uses the 'xv' output by default
and it now looks like it only manages to update a band here
and there on each frame. The picture looks like it was run
through a shredder and pasted back together with the wrong
strips :-).
If I play with the 'gl_nosw' output driver, there are no problems
(so that's the obvious work around).
The only X related update I notice recently was a bunch of
mesa libraries on April 30th.
But I have all the same mesa libs on my system at work and
it has no problems. At work I have the radeon driver, at
home I have the intel driver, so maybe it is an intel driver
problem (but the intel driver hasn't been updated recently).
Any idea what component I should report this against?
Anyone else see the same thing? (It isn't isolated to
mplayer - I get the same corruption in vlc, etc).
