journalctl high CPU load, reboot, not rsyslogd is the problem
by Richard Shaw
I was trying out the new gnome software center and was installing a few
things, then it crashed and I heard the CPU fan cranking up.
Checked atop and journalctl was maxing out one core. I tried restarting it
but it didn't help so I figured a restart was in order.
Immediately after logging in the cpu fan cranked back up but when I checked
atop, it was rsyslogd and not journalctl.
I tried restarting abrtd (based on another thread), and rsyslogd but it
didn't help. I finally had to stop the service.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

fetchmail finding downloaded mail
by Alex
Hi,
It's been some time since I've used fetchmail, but I'm trying to
configure it again to backup my gmail account, and I can't figure out
where it's stored my downloaded mail. I'm using fedora20 and the
latest version of fetchmail.
I'm first trying to get it to download a single message from Trash as a test:
$ cat .fetchmailrc
poll imap.gmail.com protocol IMAP
user "mysqlstudent(a)gmail.com" is alex here
password 'mypass123'
folder 'Trash'
fetchlimit 1
keep
ssl
I've configured postfix on my local machine, and removed sendmail.
Postfix is running. Running "fetchmail -v" shows that it did download
the message, but I don't know where it put it. It's not in
/var/spool/mail/alex or anywhere in my home directory.
I don't have a ~/.procmailrc and there's nothing in /var/log/maillog.
What else do I need to do to find my mail?
Maybe you can recommend a better program for backing up my gmail
folder? I've also tried to simply access the "All Mail" folder, and it
appears to be inaccessible. Is it just a label and not actually a
folder?
Thanks,
Alex

control the files in /etc/init
by Mike Wright
Hi all,
Having a brain fart here.
Running f20. I created a file under /etc/init but I don't remember how
to get the system to recognize it.
I've tried "service", "chkconfig", "systemctl" and am getting nowhere.
Anybody remember how do control the files in that directory?
TIA,
Mike Wright

Problem after uninstalling rpmfusion nvidia packages
by JD
Hi all,
After I unstalled
kmod-nvidia-3.16.3-200.fc20.x86_64-331.89-2.fc20.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.16.2-200.fc20.x86_64-331.89-2.fc20.11.x86_64
akmod-nvidia-331.89-2.fc20.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.16.2-201.fc20.x86_64-331.89-2.fc20.12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-331.89-2.fc20.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-331.89-2.fc20.x86_64
Network daemon no longer detects wifi AP's !!
Even though it is running.
Also, the display is a virtual display, larger than physical.
This was not the case before removal.
And it was not the case before I had installed the rpmfusion
nvidia packages.
That, in and of itself is not as annoying as inability
to connect to the network.
Reason I want them removed is because when kernel panics,
abrt says it is tainted, and will not allow me to submit the problem.
And I have been having many kernel panics, especially rebooting
after hibernation.
How can I bring system fuctionality back to before I had
installed the rpmfusion nvidia packages?

boot fedora 20 from usb
by Paolo De Michele
hi everybody,
I'm not be able to boot fedora 20 x64 or x32 from usb (I tried fedora
kde live, fedora complete and centos 6.5 minimal)
I used a lot of software like liveusb-creator, unetbootin and the shell
command like dd
the pendrive is formatted in vfat and the client is a veriton N281G (on
the bios I see that support removable devices)
the shell command is: dd if=/dir/file.iso of=/dev/sdx1 bs=1M
with liveusb-creator and the unetbootin the steps are via gui
so, where I wrong?
let me know, thanks in advance

Fedup 19 to 20 problems
by Frank McCormick
Ran Fedup today to upgrade my 19 system to 20 - all the packages are
downloaded, the fedup kernel is installed...and I have 2 new selections
of the grub screen fedup and fedup rescue. However neither will complete
the boot so the upgrade can go ahead. The boot stalls just after a
message about Selinux not being found or something to that effect.
Need some advice on what to do

Fedora 21 Alpha
by Reynold
I have a simple question. I installed Fedora 21 Alpha. I know the final
version is scheduled to be out in December 2014. I am wondering, will my
version update itself to the final version as time passes or will I have
to install a fresh copy of the final version when it becomes available?
