On Fedora, I was having issues getting my T-Mobile G2X to connect in developer mode.
For sure, I was setting Settings-Applications-USBdebugging to Checked. And when plugging in the device, the SD card (and/or) internal memory space was showing up on the desktop (and the output in /var/log/messages looked equivalent to that from my working G1) [...]

/var/log/messages complains :
Nov 24 23:52:54 myth systemd[1]: mythbackend.service: control process exited, code=exited status=235
Nov 24 23:52:54 myth systemd[1]: Unit mythbackend.service entered failed state.
Simple solution (not tested whether this survives reboot) :
# touch /var/run/mythbackend.pid; chown mythtv:mythtv /var/run/mythbackend.pid
# systemctl start mythbackend.service
# grep mythbackend

To build uwsgi on Fedora 12 (which has no easy-to-find python3 rpm), run through the rpmbuild process (shown in a previous post in more detail for nginx) and make the following changes :
wget http://kad.fedorapeople.org/packages/uwsgi/uwsgi-0.9.9.2-2.fc15.src.rpm
rpm -ivh uwsgi-0.9.9.2-2.fc15.src.rpm
rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/uwsgi.spec
yum install python-devel libuuid-devel jansson-devel libyaml-devel ruby-devel python3-devel python-greenlet-devel lua-devel ruby
# NB: python3-devel doesn’t exist…

In order to get access to uwsgi (useful for deploying python flask projects, for instance), one needs a version of nginx > 0.8 or so. But Fedora 12 doesn’t have such a modern version : Here’s how to build it from a src.rpm from a more recent Fedora release.
# First, make sure [...]

This should be a no-brainer for anyone carrying anything important around on a laptop.
IMHO, relying on a user password (like a login password) is not a great idea, since anyone with physical access to the disk can get to your data easily. OTOH, using disk encryption seems like overkill – since if [...]

Situation
I want to have ‘rsync’ run when a user presses a button on the webserver. The software stack is as follows (though this was largely a red-herring, see below) :
Fedora – server
lighttpd – webserver
Twiki – intranet setup
perl – plugin language for Twiki
bash – perl launches a script to run the rsync
sudo – to ‘change [...]

lmms has some dependencies that are not so easy to determine for Fedora
Basic setup :
yum install cmake git
yum install qt qt-devel
Synth extras :
yum install libsndfile libsndfile-devel
yum install fluidsynth fluidsynth-devel
yum install stk stk-devel
yum install fftw-devel
Importantly for wine VST(i) :
yum install wine wine-devel
yum install glibc-devel.i386
Hope this helps

Initial Boot Problems
Booting kernel on stock Fedora 9 x64 DVD requires the kernel option : ‘intel_iommu=off’ to be appended to the kernel boot line.
Updated kernels (after, say, 2.2.26), no longer need this extra parameter.
USB Keyboard
Unless ‘Legacy USB’ is set in the BIOS (which it is by default), the USB keyboard can’t be used to change [...]
