Re: Moving Fedora 22 to RAID 0 - Trouble with initramfs

[1.345397] computername dracut-pre-trigger[217]: rd.md=0: removing
MD RAID activation


and

[1.354112] computername dracut-pre-trigger[217]:

I'm getting the idea, possibly incorrectly, that there is no
mdadm.conf in the initramfs. You can use lsinitrd to see if there's
one inside and what the size, time stamp is, to see if it's current.

It's definitely not assembling the array is the problem. I'm not sure
if boot param rd.md.uuid= is sufficient because IMSM RAID is actually
a container plus RAID, so there are two UUIDs that apply. You could
try:

rd.md.uuid=03afe6a1:b37c71b2:f9b7eb4e:9322a561
rd.md.uuid=1d2f6a80:99e713e3:73601439:2cdb477f

And see if dracut figures out which is which and assembles the
container first then the array. I also don't know for sure if : should
be replaced with - as is typically the case for filesystems.

This can easily be done with pdfshuffler. Just load the .pdf, mark
page 3 and 4, right click and choose "export selection".

I have never seen it fail for me.

As others already have pointed out in this thread, there are some
software incompatibilities.

The best way to do this is with the pavucontrol program (pavucontrol
is also the package name). It allows the user to set default devices,
and devices for pulse to ignore.  On Fedora, the default sound device is
always pulse, which pretends to be alsa for the sake of compatibility,
and uses alsa behind the scenes. By using desktop sound controls, you
are just adding another layer of control on top of pulse and alsa.

I don't use the capabilities enough to give you the rules.  When I do
use it in audacity, I usually have to do some trial and error with
pavucontrol and the audacity names, as each card seems to have multiple
listings in audacity.  But I do get it to work.

Under the covers, pulse still uses alsa.  Instead of using alsamixer,
which shows the simplified pulse interface, use  alsamixer
-c[soundcard number], e.g.  alsamixer -c0  to get the full suite of
alsa options.  F3, F4, and F5 switch screens, escape saves and exits.

You need to co-ordinate this with pulse, in pavucontrol.

Many of the symptoms you describe sound like you have more than one
sound card, and they are being assigned in a different order each time
you start your computer.  This has been a problem since the linux
kernel started assigning devices in parallel to speed up boot.  It can
be worked around by putting a file in /etc/modprobe.d/soundcard.conf
(the actual file name is up to you, I just use soundcard.conf).  Put
something like this in that file to assign sound devices to specific
channels.

options snd cards_limit=8
options slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-ice1724,snd-ca0106,snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel id="SB"
options snd-hda-intel index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-ca0106 id="CA0106"
options snd-ca0106 index=1
alias snd-card-2 snd-ice1724 id="Revolution51"
options snd-ice1724 index=2
#alias snd-card-3 snd-cmipci
#options snd_cmipci index=3
alias snd-card-3 snd-hda-intel id="HDMI"
options snd-hda-intel index=3
alias snd-card-7 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=7

Of course, you should change the cards to be your devices.  You can
find the names using lspci , or  aplay -lv  .
With old style devices, this works great, but with the new intel-hda
devices, the assignment is not exact.  For instance, it sometimes
assigns the video card hdmi as the on board hda-intel, and vice versa.
It seems that alsa doesn't have a way to distinguish hda-intel devices
when assigning slots, and gets confused by the video card.  But mostly
it works.

Once devices are always in the same channel, then settings work as
expected (for me).

Yes in this case it worked. I discovered you need to do it immediately
after you messed up, or you will remove *all* transaction back to the
one you wish to remove. (I.e. it restores the install history to the
state before your mistake).

Luckily I didn't install a lot of stuff after that.

systemd-timesync

[Robert Moskowitz]

Over on the Fedora-arm list I am looking into systemd-timesync:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-timesyncd

So what version of systemd is in F22 and F23b?

It seems that timedatectl (which is in F22) controls this, but it is not 
acting like mentioned at the above site:


 The daemon saves the current clock to disk every time a new NTP sync 
has been acquired, and uses this to possibly correct the system clock 
early at bootup, in order to accommodate for systems that lack an RTC 
such as the Raspberry Pi and embedded devices, and make sure that time 
monotonically progresses on these systems, even if it is not always correct.


Every time the system (armv7 with no rtc) boots without a network 
connection the date stays at 1-1-70.

You can undo only individual transactions with:

  # dnf history undo

Printers on Fedora 22

[alexis jeandet]

Hi,

This morning I get some difficulties to install a simple epson stylus
SX210 on my laptop which is running a Fedora 22 (upgraded from F21 and
from F20). I finally found that the system-config-printer-udev.x86_64
package wasn't installed. It is installed on Fedora 22 Workstation
fresh install but doesn't seems to be on upgraded systems, is it
possible? If yes wouldn't it be a problem for non "expert" users?

The message I got from gnome printers was that a driver was missing,
also not really helpful in this case.

Best regards,
Alexis.

printing + firewalld

[Pál , László]

Hi,

I'm trying to solve a strange issue with printing when my firewall is on.
The office printer supports several kind of methods including ipp,
jetdirect and mdns, but none of them are working unless I stop the
firewall.. until now I cannot find a good way to log firewalld dropped
packets neither with firewall-cmd or using dirty iptables methods.

Do you have any idea either to enable printing through firewalld and/or add
proper logging of dropped packets to firewalld?

Thank you

Use exiftool to rename the files based on the creation date:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#filename


The corresponding Fedora-package is perl-Image-ExifTool.

Try
dnf install perl-Image-ExifTool
or
dnf install /usr/bin/exiftool


Another helpful tool in cases like the OP's is jhead (Package jhead), 
a tool which allows to manipulate jpgs' exif data. I am using it to 
achieve similar purposes as the OP in shell scripts.

Thanks Ralf, I had just downloaded the .tar.gz file but the rpm is 
preferred of course.


I had tried just 'exiftool" but dnf didn't find it that way.

Installed:
  perl-Image-ExifTool.noarch 9.90-1.fc22

Complete!

Thanks to Marku also, muc appreciated,

You could do as Markku suggested or you could go a slightly different route and google 
"sort files by exif date" which will get you to a few java based tools to give 
you a GUI to perform the function.

Thanks Ed, I just found your message in Junk. I re-installed Thunderbird 
late yesterday and apparently I've got something in the filters sending 
messages to the wrong place! Viasat/Wildblue has changed our email 
server away from gmail, and I have been filtering some spam to junk ... 
I may have to switch back to gmail.


I'll try as you suggest and make note of it.

Bob

Check to see if the file ~/.rpmmacros exists on your system.

It normally starts with

%_topdir something

Just edit that

selecting audio inputs with pulseaudio

[Tim]

Has selecting audio inputs with pulseaudio improved any since Fedora 20?
On this machine, I can't find a way to use the line or mic input, by my
own choosing.  e.g. For wanting to record something on the computer.

In the sound preferences, I have a sliding volume control next to a mic
symbol, and some kind of volume indicator below it.  That, from time to
time, I find seems to pay attention to a microphone, but not always.

Under that is a box with a radio selection button for "built-in audio
analog stereo," which I presume just means the on-board sound card, or
another card (if I had one) rather than supposedly being a way to select
individual sound sources on a card.

I can play with the CLI alsamixer tool, but that seems rather hit and
miss, too, as well as being awful and extremely primitive.  Not to
mention being just a two volume control for pulseaudio (master &
capture), or I can change to the "0 HDA Intel" sound card, and get a
plethora of sliders (not all of them have a corresponding socket on the
sound card, and another vague "capture" fader).

If I try using a program like audacity, I get input choices in the
program like pulse (next to useless), front mic 0, rear mic 0, line 0,
front mic 1, rear mic 1, line 1, which is a course of experimentation to
find which one might actually work, and it doesn't behave the same way
each time I use the program.

If I try using a program like skype, sometimes I can get it to pay
attention to the mike, but never to any other input source.

Not sure, maybe a question for the developers list. itext (I'm
assuming it's the same itext), appears to be back:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/itext/

Previously there was a problem with itext licensing, then by the time
that was sorted itext required gcj, which had gone. Would be nice to
see pdftk return.

There does appear to be pypdf2 which provides a pdfcat, there was some
interesting in packaging this earlier this year

Sorting iPhone image files -

[Bob Goodwin]

I have a number [thousands] of my daughter's iPhone files stored on my 
server, each one has an "IMG_" number however they don't seem to 
have a consistent relationship to date and time, not that we can sse 
anyway. However it appears that each file does have that information, 
e.g. datetime=2015:06:30 15:58:38]:


[bobg@box10 Ginette]$ file IMG_4823.JPG
IMG_4823.JPG: JPEG image data, Exif standard: [TIFF image data, 
big-endian, direntries=10, manufacturer=Apple, model=iPhone 6 Plus, 
orientation=upper-right, xresolution=154, yresolution=162, 
resolutionunit=2, datetime=2015:06:30 15:58:38], baseline, precision 8, 
3264x2448, frames 3


So it seems there probably is either software to sort them or a script 
that would sort on the date shown by "file."


What can I do to accomplish this?

rpmdev-setuptree in specific directory

[arnaud gaboury]

Fedora 22

For some practical reasons, I would like to gather all my rpm build
somewhere else than ~/rpmbuild.

I can't find any option/conf file to change this default behavior.
Even when cd somewhere else, running the command will always create
~/rpmbuild.
I can of course create a symlink, but I am not very happy with this solution.

Thank you for tips.

Use exiftool to rename the files based on the creation date:

Use exiftool to rename the files based on the creation date:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#filename


The corresponding Fedora-package is perl-Image-ExifTool.

Try
dnf install perl-Image-ExifTool
or
dnf install /usr/bin/exiftool


Another helpful tool in cases like the OP's is jhead (Package jhead), a 
tool which allows to manipulate jpgs' exif data. I am using it to 
achieve similar purposes as the OP in shell scripts.

dnf install poppler-utils pdfshuffler

These tools together can replace most pdftk functionality.

Re: pdftk

[Patrick Dupre]

Unfortunately, pdfshuffler does not have the same capabilities than pdftk.
It has a graphics interface.
There is one command easy with pdftk:
pdftk file.pdf cat 3-4 output file2.pdf
that I cannot have with pdfshuffler.
pdftk, is a well established and solid tool while pdfshuffer fails eventually.
While not keep supporting pdftk?
