by Robert Moskowitz
I just saw a colleagues Asus Transformer. Has anyone got one and put
Fedora on it?
What model(s)?
And any other answers I did not think to question :)

dhcpd and systemd
by Ian Chapman
Hi,
Dhcpd on my server has suddenly started taking to start before the IP
address (statically assigned) has been configured on the network
interface and consequently bombs out. The systemd service for dhcpd has
After=network.target
should this be network-online.target?

openconnect (2 issues)
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
I have been using the openconnect option to Cisco's Anyconnect VPN, but
have noticed two shortcomings.
1. When I lose connection for whatever reason, I have to manually
restart the anyconnect plugin everytime. Is there a possibility to have
it reconnect along with the connection?
2. When I am on ppp, I am unable to use it at all. Cisco's VPN, however
does not seem to care whether the connection is Wifi or ethernet or ppp
and so works. Right now, I am on ppp, so I am back to using Cisco's VPN.
Any suggestions on how to get around these two issues?
For the record, I am running a fully-updated F20.
Many thanks,
Ranjan

RE: Taking the BTRFS plunge
by J.Witvliet@mindef.nl
FYI, i'm using BTRFS for over a year,
Even though it is not a fedora machine, the upstream code remains the same I guess.
I don't use advanced features of btrfs, (I stil use lvm on top of softraid) but it has proven for me (in this order)
- reliable enough (never data loss, even after power incidents)
- fast enough
- less overhead compared with others F.S.
- less restrictions
Only thing I noticed, is that you get reduced performance when you let a run-away root-process/root-user fill a filesystem upto 100%
(I once forgot to set the user-id on a rsync-job from cron ;-)

Subject: Taking the BTRFS plunge
As a ZFS on Linux user, I noticed that there are btrfs packages for Fedora 20. Can anybody here comment on their stability? Are you adventurous enough to use btrfs on root ? Has it saved your data? Have you lost data because of it?
Context: I'm planning on moving /home on my laptop to ZFS/BTRFS soon.

Why no getty on tty1 after using X
by Gareth Williams
I'm running CentOS 7 in QEMU-KVM just as a play area / test bed.
It boots up in multi-user.target and I can access all virtual terminals.
If I change to the graphical.target, then I see Gnome's login screen on
VT1 and console logins on others. If I now login using VT2 and go back
to multi-user.target with systemctl start multi-user.target then the
login screen on VT1 disappears, but there is no getty running on it.
I have to manually start it with systemctl start getty(a)tty1.service.
My question is - why? Shouldn't getty start automatically when I
attempt to access VT1?
Thanks in advance,
Gareth

5tFTW: Docker, FESCo Election, Android App for Flock, Flock Video Volunteers, and Release Naming (2014-07-15)
by Matthew Miller
Reposted from <http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-07-15/>.
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 July 15th, 2014:
Fedora and Docker
-----------------
The various Working Groups in Fedora have been talking quite a bit
about Docker recently. (In case you haven’t seen all the hype, Docker
is a platform for distributing and running application containers — a
form of light-weight operating system-level virtualization. It also
features a cute whale as its logo.)
In the Fedora Cloud WG, we’re planning on producing *official* Fedora
Docker base images — these will be produced and uploaded by Fedora
Release Engineering. Right now, because Docker is a key part of the
upcoming Project Atomic-based *Fedora Atomic*, the Cloud SIG is doing
the initial work and QA, but, eventually, the plan is to hand this off
to the Environments and Stacks WG, because it looks like Docker and
containerization will be important across much of Fedora in the future.
And, in fact, this week Docker was a topic of conversation in the other
Fedora product Working Groups as well. Fedora Workstation member
Christian Schaller blogs about how Docker fits with future plans for
desktop containers, and although it’s in early stages, the Fedora Server
WG has been discussing using Docker to implement some Server Roles.

FESCo Election
--------------
The Summer 2014 special election for open seats on the Fedora
Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) is underway. Voting is open to
everyone who has agreed to the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement
(which, by the way, is very lightweight and is *not* a copyright
assignment agreement) and is in one other Fedora group — a packager,
ambassador, or pretty much anything else. (Technically, you need to be
in at least one other group in FAS, the Fedora Account System.)
Read the candidates’ answers to the election questionnaire, and, if you
like, check out the log from Friday’s IRC Town Hall Meeting. Then,
vote!

Android App for Flock!
----------------------
Flock, our annual development conference, is coming up quickly — it’s
August 6-9 in Prague. (Interested in coming, but not yet registered?
Hurry! Registration closes at midnight UTC on Thursday.)
If you have a smartphone running Android, the Flock conference schedule
app is available now (thanks to Fedora contributors at Red Hat CZ!).

Video Volunteers for Flock
--------------------------
Speaking of Flock, organizers are asking for volunteers for session
video. According to Miro Hrončok:
> Each 45 minute session needs to have a volunteer running the camera,
> watching a timer, and monitoring IRC for Q&A (if it happens). Without
> your help, we will get no stream and no recording.
If you are interested in helping, please sign up on the Flock
volunteers wiki page.

What’s Fedora 21 Going to Be Named?
-----------------------------------
This is old news to many of us, but I’ve gotten the question a few
times — what will Fedora 21 be named? Well, it’ll be named “Fedora 21″,
without any codename. This was decided by the Fedora Project Board last
October (and widely reported in the press in January.)
In many ways, the naming system is supplanted by stronger individual
separate branding for Cloud, Server, and Workstation as part of
Fedora.next. And, as we’ve recently discussed in Board meetings, we’d
like to see similar stronger branding for the various Fedora desktop
spins too. Basically, more focus on what users are getting, and less on
which six month period the release was produced in. (Except for Beefy
Miracle, does anyone remember which name belonged with which number,
anyway?)
In any case, as the first Fedora 21 Alpha release approaches (August
5th, right before Flock!), various groups in Fedora are working on
this, including Fedora Marketing, the Docs and Websites teams are
helping to figure out how we’ll present it all in an appealing yet
straightforward way. As always, your input into this is very welcome —
even if we won’t be voting on (increasingly obscure) names.

Is this proof that systemd is completely broken?
by Sam Varshavchik
Now that I have your attention, the background is as follows. This is a
server with only statically configured network interfaces. NetworkManager is
not installed. All network interfaces are statically configured via
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
The server is regularly updated to current Fedora packages. For the last
month, or so, the server has failed to come up in a sane state, reliably.
After it responds to pings, after ssh-ing in, and examining the aftermath,
the logs of all network services are consistent, in that they claim that
each network service – which includes: named-chroot, httpd, dhcpd, and
privoxy – their boot logs claim that no network interfaces were up at the
time they're started.
After finally getting pissed about having to manually re-brain the server,
each time it boots, I attached a console monitor, and observed that the boot
goes /very/ quickly, and the console login prompt comes up about 20-30
seconds before the server even starts responding to pings. Looks like the
multi-user target is reached way long before networking even comes up.
Last week, I've commented on the following curiosity: after sifting through
systemd's documentation, their documentation claims that "network.target"
gets reached only after basic networking is up, and "network-online.target"
gets reached only after all network interfaces are initialized.
Problem number one is that all servers specify "After=network.target", when,
according to how I interpret this, they should all really specify
"After=network-online.target".
After that, it came to my attention that there's a NetworkManager optional
subpackage that installs a service that waits for network interfaces to come
up, and it's specified as "Before=network.target network-online.target". It
seems fairly obvious to me that it should really be "Before=network-
online.target" and "After=network.target", with all other services that
require a functioning network specifying "After=network-online.target". That
made logical sense to me, but it seems that this confusing arrangement makes
logical sense to someone else, so, whatever. I do not have NetworkManager
installed, but, I figure, why not take a crack at whipping up a dirty hack
that basically does the same thing?
But the unexpected result from the hack is that it seems to provide solid
proof that systemd's dependency resolution is not working, but before I
Bugzilla this (as little hope one might have from getting anything useful
done by Bugzillaing this), I'd like to hear some consensus that I am
interpreting the following data right. Who knows, I might actually have made
a mistake, somewhere.
Let's take a look at what named-chroot.service says:
[Unit]
Description=Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS)
Wants=nss-lookup.target
Before=nss-lookup.target
After=network.target
Are we all in agreement that named-chroot.service should only be started
after network.target gets reached? Ok.
Now, here's my hack, which is basically a clone of that NetworkManager
subpackage:
# cat /etc/systemd/system/wait-for-network.service
[Unit]
Description=Wait for network ports to be initialized
Before=network.target network-online.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/root/bin/wait-for-network
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Are we all in agreement that:
1) This is a one-shot service, and according to systemd's documentation,
systemd must wait until this script is complete, before it's considered
started.
2) Until it's complete, network.target isn't reached.
3) Therefore, this script must finish before systemd should start named-
chroot.service
Yet, after testing this script, then activating it, the server still came up
utterly brainless after the reboot. The results:
systemctl status named-chroot.service reports:
named-chroot.service - Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS)
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/named-chroot.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sat 2014-07-12 09:24:29 EDT; 3min 28s ago
…
So, systemd started named-chroot.service at 09:24:29.
My script logs the current timestamp. The output from /root/bin/wait-for-
network was as follows:
Sat Jul 12 09:24:27 2014
Interface: lo is up
Sat Jul 12 09:24:32 2014
Interface: lan0 is up
Interface: lo is up
Interface: wan0 is down
Sat Jul 12 09:24:37 2014
Interface: lan0 is up
Interface: lo is up
Interface: wan0 is up
systemd started this script at 09:24:27. This script spun its wheels until
09:24:37, at which time all network interfaces finally came up. I'm happy to
post the contents of this short script; however I don't think that it's
relevant here, because the problem is that this script was running when
systemd decided to run named-chroot.service, even though, according to the
above, this should not happen.
So, either I'm misreading the description of "oneshot" in
systemd.service(5); and "Before" and "After" in systemd.unit(5), or systemd
is broken completely. I think that my understanding of systemd's
documentation is very reasonable. So, either systemd is broken, or, if it's
supposedly working how it should be working, its documentation is crap, and
is impossible to follow. I see no other possibilities.

"Unable to locate printer "hostname"."
by Angelo Moreschini
Hi,
Since I installed my printer (HP DeskJet 2500) I am not able to use it .
When I send a job to it, it doesn't work and, in the list of the jobs, I
can read (on the field state) this message:
processing since
Wed 16 Jul 2014 06:07:59 PM IDT
"Unable to locate printer "hostname"."
I tried to understad the reason of this behavior, but I was not able reach
this purpose.
Please give me an help.

pulse is silent, alsa works, any hints for fixing pulse?
by Tom Horsley
Ever since I installed the nvidia binary driver to get video
working on my GTX 750Ti card, the audio is screwed up.
If I suspend pulse and run alsamixer to unmute all
the built in audio devices on the motherboard, I
can play audio fine with a command line:
aplay -Dplug:front
But if I run pluseaudio, and set the output to the
motherboard's analog stereo output, I get no sound.
Is there any procedure for translating cryptic
working alsa into differently cryptic working pulse?
Is there some way to convince snd_hda_intel to utterly
ignore the nvidia display port/hdmi and only recognize
the natic motherboard audio?
