Have you ever needed to find all the symbolic links you have created to a certain directory? I recently wanted to move some partitions around on my drives and needed to see where I had mounted and linked to them before I moved them.

Here is a quick way to search for all the links.

It did not work because I could not disable intel video chipset in my uefi bios. :(

UPDATE to F30. and Fixed acpi (see grub commandine below)

NVidia driver issues still persist, but I finally debugged (and disabled) acpi consistent errors that had be plaguing me in F27.

I added a kernel boot param to my Grub2 commandline.

A quick one liner (using PulseAudio) to rip the audio being output to your linux desktop speakers and convert it to Vorbis Ogg file.

[FIXED] The Gnome Bluetooth GUI via settings FAILS to pair with my HP Bluetooth Laser Mobile Mouse. This has not worked in the gui bluetooth settings app for a few versions (maybe F19).The problem is that the mouse does NOT have a pair code, and the it won't pair with '0000' or '1234'.

I figured out to manually pair it from the commandline without a pairing code!

use bluetoothctl on the commandline

use the following commands to connect to the MAC address...

The latest rpm for google-earth is failing to install because a conflict with /usr/bin.

an easy re-build of the RPM fixed it... instructions here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1650497&postcount=27

then sudo yum localinstall /home/tgutwin/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/google-earth-stable-7.1.4.1529-0.x86_64.rpm

It is now installed in /opt/google/earth/free/google-earth

FIXED!

Now that I have my Raspberry Pi2 working with Java, I need to draw up some schematics....

Here is how I downloaded & installed the latest Git version of XCircuit on my Fedora 21 workstation.

It includes all the Fedora Yum  RPM packages I had to install to get it to build from source - you might need others.

I Got a Raspberry Pi2 ! It has a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU  and 1GB RAM.

I first tried noobs with Debian and it ran out of the noobs box very well.  The noobs version of Fedora DID NOT because it was not built for the new version of the ARM processor in the Pi2. That was no big deal because thanks to user clivem on the Pi Forums an image was avaialble.  See the forum link for the details. It is a full F21 version that is called FIDORA.

It was very easy to get this working. It is Fedora 21 for the ARM, with full yum repo support including rpmFusion.

F17 has not moved fully to systemd (as doc'd on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd), so to change the default run level use the following commands:

Go to the non-graphical multi-user commandline bootup:

rm -f /etc/systemd/system/default.target;ln -s /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

 go to the full graphical bootup:

rm -f /etc/systemd/system/default.target;ln -s /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
