Handbrake for f18 x86_64?

Neal Becker — 2013-05-21T11:46:50

Any place to find an rpm (or srpm) for recent Handbrake (0.9.9)?

I briefly tried building from source, but didn't get very far (and no, it 
doesn't look like a problem with my not installing the deps).

ICMPv6 Neighbour Solication request is not answered by linux whenIPv6 address is assigned via Netlink code.

Norah Jones — 2013-05-21T06:10:11

Hi, 

I have a process which is running as a linux service and assigns IP addresses using netlink to configued interface in linux.
For IPv4 addresses i do not see any issue with this assignment.

When i try to assign an IPv6 address, the address gets assigned successfully to the interface, but the Neighbour Solication request received for that address is not responded with and hence ping6 from a different machine doesn't work.

When i take the same netlink code and run it in a sample program the address gets assigned and the Neighbour solicitation is responded with a advertisement and hence ping6 works.

IP assigned by the program : 7000::15/32
IP on client machine from where ping6 is done : 7000::17/32.

Bot machines are connected to same Layer-2 switch.

I have flushed the ip6tables on both the machines just to rule out any firewall issues.

Thanks,
Norah Jones

Password problem

Frank McCormick — 2013-05-21T01:02:43

Just installed Fedora 19 ( I know questions are supposed to go to that 
list, but this is more of a
general thing).

I was having a lot of problems with the GDM login manager so I disabled 
it and installed
lightdm.

Everything was working fine UNTIL I tried to change my password to 
something I could
remember - the steup forces you to pick one which can't be easily broken.

Now the login manager tells me both the old and new passwords are wrong. 
So basically I can't get into
the system. I tried the recovery kernel but it simply takes me to the 
login manager, unlike the recovery options
on my Fedora 17 and 18 systems.

Can someone offer a suggestion ( I'm writing this in my Debian system)

Thanks

Solicited sales email distribution - advice needed

Gary Stainburn — 2013-05-20T15:31:18

Hi Folks.

I have at work one of our salesmen who has an opt-in stock-list distribution 
that has been running for some time now. He has in excess of 2500 recipients 
on this list.

Up until now he has simply had a Distribution list in his MS Outlook which he 
maintains himself. He then sends himself an email every week containing the 
stock list and BCC's the distribution list.  Other than generating an 
excessive load on my EXIM server there has been no  real down side to this as 
it meant that I didn't have to get involved.

However, we are now experiencing problems and I would like a better solution.

I need a system that will distribute the email to each recipient as a seperate 
message, and if possible will monitor and highlight any emails that fail.

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this? Ideally I would like the salesman to 
still be able to administer it but that isn't essential. If it is a system 
that is either text file or database driven  I can create a UI that he would 
be able to use.

Gary

What's the real-world usage of a TPM module?

Fernando Cassia — 2013-05-20T07:18:18

Since my last system includes a TPM I'm curious as to what is the real
world usage of it in Linux.
I've read that Truecrypt choose not to use TPMs....

So, anything else? using it to encrypt my Mozilla password store?

I have to say that the first result of a Google search seems a bit
convoluted and intimidating to the uninitiated

Ok, so where do mysql bugs go, these days?

Sam Varshavchik — 2013-05-19T22:00:37

So, I've been tearing apart mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.11-1.fc18.x86_64

And I've tracked down some horrible breakage there that needs to be fixed  
upstream.

Given the state of mysql in the distro, and the pending move to mariadb,  
I'm wondering where the best place to report this bug would be. I find  
nothing but Oracle's bureaucratease, when I try to dig around mysql.com.

F18 re-add missing disk radi1

Frank Murphy — 2013-05-19T06:51:10

While Having a coffee,
The cat decided to dissemble 
a soft raid by playing with the sata cable.

Having replaced the cable,
still coming up as one disk short.

Looked at:
http://www.ducea.com/2009/03/08/mdadm-cheat-sheet/
mdadm --add /dev/md3 /dev/sdb1
Is this correct (check twice, run once)

for some reason the F18 Live CD calls the raid

Yum kernel upgrades don't boot

Bill Davidsen — 2013-05-19T01:40:24

It appears the when a kernel upgrade is applied by yum, the rebuild of 
grub2.conf seems to reset the kernel command lines to default, dropping options 
to use working video and network drivers and stable clocks. Even the vital 
"nomodeset" option is dropped from the old stanzas in the original grub2.config. 
Is this part of the war on using vendor drivers? Booting into a system with an 
unstable clock, no video even text in runlevel 3, and no working network doesn't 
make a upgrade easy.

So is dropping the kernel command line options a bug, or deliberate policy?

Can't open port in firewalld

আনন্দ কুমার সমাদ্দার Ananda Samaddar — 2013-05-18T20:47:06

Hello all,

So I've found out that by default my script controlled ethernet
connection is in the public zone in firewalld.  I however cannot open a
port for Transmission, the torrent client.  I set Transmission to use
the static default port 51413.

I then do the following:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=51413/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=51413/udp

Transmission shows the port as closed.  It's definitely a firewalld
issue.  As soon as I disable firewalld by using systemd the port is
shown as open in Transmission.

Am I doing something wrong here?

thanks,

Ananda

Device Drivers in Fedora 18

Alan Findly — 2013-05-18T20:37:22

Dear users,
   I am on the verge of a rather thorough hardware upgrade, ie. 
motherboard/cpu, and in addition want to migrate from XP 32 to Fedora 18 
64.  So, now it occurs to me that all the drivers from Windoze will be 
gone--are there drivers in the Fedora CD package, or will I have to hunt 
them down?  Actually, there may be a more basic driver issue--namely, 
running the CD player itself: the driver won't be loaded yet.  Is this a 
problem?  I also have an ISO image on USB, if needed.
   Thanks for any info.

Firewall and DNS caching without NetworkManager

আনন্দ কুমার সমাদ্দার Ananda Samaddar — 2013-05-18T13:41:56

Hello all,

I've just installed Fedora 18 X86-64.  I disabled and uninstalled
networkmanager and use the standard networking stuff which seems to
use dhclient. I'm using a standard ethernet connection.

So I need to do two things.  Feel free to tell me to RTFM if you can
provide a link!

1.  How do I enable pre-pending of nameservers?  I want to use dnsmasq
to cache DNS requests so I need to add 127.0.0.1 to the top of
resolv.conf.  Google searchs take me to the Arch Wiki.  I can't seem to
find a dhclient.conf file anywhere in /etc.

2.  How do I assign a zone in firewalld to my connection?  I want to be
able to open ports for bittorrent and XMPP jingle voice/video.  The
firewalld wiki on the Fedora site doesn't seem to be able to answer my
question.

thanks in advance,

Ananda Samaddar

F18+Windows7+"Secure boot not enabled"

Celik — 2013-05-18T02:26:16

Hi,

I'm trying to replace Windows 7 OS with F18 but running into the problem of
"secure boot not enabled".

Background information:
Laptop: Acer Aspire 5560
Current OS: Windows 7
Phoneix SecureCore Tiano Setup


When starting the laptop F2 opens the Phoneix setup menu, in the "Security"
sub-menu there is not option to enable "secure boot".

I'm trying to perform the installation via DVD
Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso<http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Live/x86_64/Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso>.
Haven't attempted the USB -live image installation option discussed in
F18 documentation as I made the assumption that if I can't boot from the
DVD then also won't be able to boot from USB. Also integrity of the DVD
.iso if fine as I used it to upgrade F16 to F18 on another computer.

Do you have any suggestions as to what to do? Please note I'm a newbie.

Regards,
C

A Software Center for Fedora?

Anthony — 2013-05-18T01:45:24

One of the things I really like about Ubuntu is the concept behind the
software center. Canonical has poorly implemented it but the idea
behind it is pretty solid.

That got me wondering...why doesn't Fedora have a similar product?
Yes, I'm aware of Yum Extender but that's not a 'proper' software
store. I mean a full fledged store, complete with backend processing
and tracking.

Perhaps this is something that would be better for the dev list but I
thought I'd float it here before going there just to see the general
feel of the community.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Anthony Papillion

Dual head - Nouveau issue F18-64

Laing, Robin — 2013-05-17T19:52:23

Hello,

I have a 64 bit F18 system that worked beautifully after the clean install.  After an update some time ago, I have had an issue with the dual head setup.

Before the problem occurred, I would boot and get all messages on the left screen until the X server started.  If the screen saver locked the screen, the unlock box would be on the left screen (screen 0).  I could run KDE with effects enabled.

Due to work schedule, I couldn't deal with the problem before now.

Now, when I boot, both displays are in mirror mode.  When the X server kicks in and KDE starts, the display goes to side by side as expected. The desktop works as side by side when I can drag windows between the monitors and virtual desktops as expected.

I cannot run any of the KDE desktop effects.

When the screen saver kicks in, it is two different screen savers on each monitor, not one across both.

If I move the trackball, I get a unlock box on both screens but they are not mirrored.  If I enter a password in to one box, the desktop unl

Fedora 18 on Dell XPS13

Ranjan Maitra — 2013-05-17T18:56:24

Does anyone have any experience with F18 on a Dell XPS13 with the FHD
1080p display? What does this Full High-Definition 1080p mean
anyway? I guess my question is: is this the real resolution or some
virtual resolution not obtained via linux.

I am interested in this because it claims to have a 1080 vertical
resolution (not sure if this is accurate) in an Ultrabook.

Note that Dell sells this with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (for a price more than
with MS Windoze).
