initctl dead after update
I've installed Fedora 19 on a HP Proliant ML 110 server. It has run an ownCloud CentOS testinstallation but should now be used for something else so I reinstalled. This has proved easier said than done, litterally. After installation I get an update for some 500+ files, and this seems to seriously fubar the system. It looks and behaves like this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789758 I haven't tried the solutions yet, prolly need to reinstall as now it takes ages and ages to reboot (I killed the thing with the power switch). On CentOS I simply get kernel panics after *that* update, which is why I switched to Fedora to see if it was something local to CentOS (and still RH derivative). I'm going to leave the system booting, now hopefully it's up after lunch in an hour or so (it's at the blue f icon at boot atm).

Can't read DVD

Re: gpg-agent
Thanks for your examples. What now confuses me no end, is that KMail and GPG works as is. What I've basically done is installing everything, first setting it up on Thunderbird/Enigmail, and then configuring the pieces for KMail to find my keys and so on. All how-to's I've read mentions setting up gpg-agent for KMail to ask for a pass phrase, but it still does this without me completing this part. My earlier attempts has also failed getting KMail to talk to gpg-agent or ask for a passphrase - failing with an empty passphrase. Does Enigmail do some black magic behind the scenes I'm not aware of for all MUA to take advantage of? /M. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

gpg-agent
As I understand it the file gpg-agent-startup.sh should be placed in /etc/kde/env and made executable for the gpg-agent to start att boot time? Agent is also enabled in the ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf Running the file manually it starts the agent, but after having booted, the gpg-agent isn't started, so it seems the directory/file isn't read at boot time?

My guess (and it's only that) is that you should create gpg-agent.service and enable it. Either that, or invoke the script from /etc/rc.local, after making sure that rc.local.service is enabled. Of course, ICBW. OK, tried both. There is no gpg-agent.service, so I tried enabling rc.local instead. And got the following. [root@dragon mskjoldebrand]# systemctl enable rc-local.service The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). /Martin S -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

According to README.Fedora, you can specify multiple keys, space separated: GPGKEYS defines a single key ID or a space separated list of key IDs. I would quote it e.g.: GPGKEYS=key1 key2 I've never tried multiple gpg keys though. I didn't get that to work ...Or at least it said it didn't load the keys =( Still, the setup is working, KMail is signing messages and I'm happy with that =) Thanks for the input. /M. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Twitter for Thunderbird or Linux in general
After the recent changes to Twitter API half of the Linux twitter clients died horribly (can't log in) as they don't seem to support the 1.1 API.

Forgot, there's also hotot (hotot-gtk and hotot-qt) which works with the 1.1 API. Besides HootSuite mentioned by Steven there is also TweetDeck (the app) but it only runs on Win/Mac. If you use Chrome then you can install the TweetDeck extension which (afaik) also works on Linux. Chrome also has another twitter extension. And there are several twitter extensions for Firefox which also works on Linux. Aye, I noticed there are some for Firefox, but for me it's not logical to have it in the browser. Which also excludes Chrome. And I prefer KDE I'm picky like that =) /M. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
