Re: Network Manager power drain
Thanks to 'fedora' for replying, I am not sure how to make the threads work when I see this list in batched mode. His reply is here: |Do you need exactly NetworkManager? If you only have static connections |you may use network.service instead of NetworkManager.service | |systemctl stop NetworkManager |systemctl start network |systemctl enable network |systemctl disable NetworkManager | | suomi Alas this does not work. Start network fails. It seems NetworkManager is not the problem, the bridge probably is. brctl show says: bridge namebridge idSTP enabledinterfaces virbr08000.yes There was a nic-virbr0 interface, but some googling said it should not be there, so I deleted it and see no change. So I still see powertop reporting 22.5 W 0.0 pkts/sDevice nic:virbr0 which seems unreasonable for a small device However, now I realsie bumblebee is not working, so maybe the nvidia card is the real culprit..I'll look there..

FC19 Battery 'remaining time' extension in gnome 3 gone?
Hello all, In FC18 I used a nice gnome 3 extension which showed the remaining batter time on my laptop. This allowed remedial action if I accidentally did something stupid like turn the screen on max. It is marked 'outdated' in FC19, but I don't see a replacement. Does anyone know where I can get such functionality?

Second thought, unrelated to the problem, but a common enough gotcha for any automatically run scripts: Sometimes scripts don't run in the same environment as you're used to, as a user. So it can be better to write the full path to any command, rather than just use the command name, and hope that it's in the search path of the script's environment. /bin probably is, but you never know with /sbin, and the various ones inside /usr. The thing is that rsync is being run - does it matter how?. I dug a bit deeper though, and turned up the debug on sshd on the server, and diffed the output.

rsync (ssh) authorisation weirdness on F18
Dear Fedora enthusiasts, I have been doing backup of my system using a custom pair of scripts. One sits in ./NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ and looks at new network connections. If it sees one machine some criteria it calls a backup script in /etc/cron.daily/ which rsyncs various directories between my laptop and a desktop machine. This worked will in F17 and many previous versions. In F18 the rsync command fails to connect: dbus-daemon[938]: Could not create directory '/root/.ssh'. dbus-daemon[938]: Host key verification failed. If I run either of the scripts as root interactively then they work. But not when NetworkManager tries to run them. Any idea what might be wrong? Both end already have /root/.ssh, so this error confuses me. Thanks!

Time/Date shell-thingy in F18
Dear list, (What do we call the shell thingies which replaced applets?) I wanted to have the date at the top of my shiny new FC18 screen, not just the time. I installed dconf-editor, went to org-gome-shell and found 'calendar' and 'clock' each of which have booleans, one for 'show-weekdate' and the other for 'show-date' As far as I can tell these do nothing at all. I toggle and log in/out or reboot but no date appears. This morning, with the new kernel, my system when into gnome 2 fallback mode. Ah-hah! I siezed the opportunity of a 'preferences' menu on the clock, switched on the date, and rebooted - perfect; gnome 3, plus date. So I am happybut there MUST be a better way to switch this on and of?

Battery life improved with F18
Thanks guys, I don't know what you did, but after upgrading my laptop FC17-FC18 I saw a 5 hr battery life being quoted - I never saw that long before. It may be something to do with optimus? My nvidia video card is not working inF18 as there is no bumblebee rpm yet, but maybe someone worked out how to switch it off by default? (suits me). Anyway, I'm happy!

Re: f18 update woes
Dear all, I am still unable to install F18 on my laptop. After giving up on F17-F18 fedup upgrading I decided to delete my window partition and install F18 there. The installer started fine, but neither automatically not manually would it let me assign the disks. There is only 70GB free, but this should not be too little. But that is what both disk setup options report. Possibly this us due to the odd disk layout I have now: /dev/sda1 0.1GB DellUtility /dev/sda2 20GB Windows recovery Blank68GB unused /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 0.5GB /boot /dev/sda6 7.8GB luks (swap) /dev/sda7 400GB luks All-my-files /dev/sda8 99GB ext4 / F17 system Somehow F18 install is unable to squeeze in, whether I tell it to use the old swap space or not... Ideas?

Help with pxe guest VM install
Dear list, I have been trying to setup a PXE guess installation on Fedora 17 with no success. I build a bridge, and connect my VM to it but DHCP times out in the VM install. I don't know how to debug this bridge. I guess I could connect a 'live' machine to it, but what then? I follow: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Network_Configuration-Bridged_networking_with_libvirt.html and https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide/sect-Virtualization_Host_Configuration_and_Guest_Installation_Guide-Guest_Installation-Installing_guests_with_PXE.html These guides almost work. Two differences show up: brctl show bridge namebridge idSTP enabledinterfaces br08000.14feb5b90f56nop5p1 virbr08000.525400da475byesvirbr0-nic The virtual bridge has an interface. I assume I set this up in the dim and distant past, but I don't think it is relevant. # service iptables save Redirecting to /bin/systemctl save iptables.service Unknown operation 'save'. This I think I work around using the iptables rules relating to a bridge. One stupid question: does the external network see the MAC address of the host or the guest? Thanks for any other ideas...

(Ps Optimus laptop, but I think the intel should be enough for this :)
my guess is you are running x86_64 with open source drivers. your
problem is that mesa-dri-drivers.i686 is missing (you do have the
x86_64 variant for sure). I already suggested that it should be pulled
in by some other mesa component to not let you fall back to software
rendering for no apparent reason.
try:
yum install mesa-dri-drivers.i686
this should fix the problem.
kind regards,
Rudolf Kastl
Hello Rudolf,
Good guess! Adding this removed this error:
XX err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is
disabled, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly
but unfortunately it replaced it with:
fixme:d3d_surface:wined3d_surface_blt Can't handle WINEDDBLT_ASYNC flag.
err:mmdevapi:DllGetClassObject Driver initialization failed
err:ole:apartment_getclassobject DllGetClassObject returned error 0x80004005
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e}
could be created for context 0x1
fixme:d3d_surface:wined3d_surface_flip Ignoring flags 0x1.
There is a speedup, I think, of a factor 2, but it is still way below
useability.
I am not sure why but I seem to have a mix of wine packages:
wine-1.3.29-1.fc16.x86_64
wine-alsa-1.3.29-1.fc16.x86_64
wine-capi-1.3.29-1.fc16.i686
wine-capi-1.3.29-1.fc16.x86_64
wine-cms-1.3.29-1.fc16.i686
wine-cms-1.3.29-1.fc16.x86_64
wine-common-1.3.29-1.fc16.noarch
wine-core-1.3.29-1.fc16.i686
wine-core-1.3.29-1.fc16.x86_64
etc.
So 64 bit wine but most support in 32 and 64 bits. Does this make any sense?
Should I remove one set?
Thank you,
Bill
