Portable Fedora that doesn't suck
by Richard Shaw 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

For a couple of years now I've been trying on and off to come up with a method of running Fedora in a portable manner than is easy to keep up with, update, has decent performance, and doesn't suck :) A pure live USB method isn't easily updatable so doesn't meet the criteria A live USB with persistent overlay is updatable but isn't very intelligent since it just burns up space with deltas. This method MIGHT be acceptable if there was an easy way to merge those deltas into the compressed live image. A real install sucks because even with my 32GB class 10 flash memory hooked up by a USBC/3.0 adapter the performance is terrible and updating pretty much took 6+ hours. All of that means the wiki[1] is pretty much useless and it doesn't look like it's been updated for the fact that LiveUSB creator is depreciated in favor of Fedora Media Writer. I've looked at unionFS but depending on your tech level that may not be considered EASY to implement and I would still like a way to easily merge changes into the compressed image because I/O is causing the performance issues, not CPU horsepower (Intel i5-6300U). Anybody have some success stories they can share? Ideas? Apps or scripts that could help automate the management of the install? I know next to nothing about ansible, but could it be used to manage it as a virtual host? (Not in the VM sense, but as a system on a file sense) If I come up with something that meets the criteria I may be willing to document it in the Fedora wiki for other :) Thanks, Richard [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB

Is it possible to start without nouveau?
by Ambrogio 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

Hi all, as trying to solve my problems with Unusable Fedora 26 I would be know if there is a possibility to start with X without using nouveau. I remember (but maybe I'm wrong) that if there is no nouveau available, X can use the intel card but without feature from NVIDIA GPU. If there is a way, can you explain me how to not compromise my working installation, but how to try starting with new kernels. This can be a good point from which to start throubleshooting problem and try some other fix. Tnx Ambrogio

Re: chronyc keeps on running

Maybe there is a bug in the script. What chrony package do you have installed? What does "chronyc -n sources" print? Are you connected to multiple networks? Maybe some don't have a default route? -- Miroslav Lichvar

F26: Print from gnome is not respect cups directive 'ErrorPolicy retry-job'
by Dario Lesca 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Into cups printer configuration file, I have set "ErrorPolicy retry- job". When I print to a printer power off, I do not want stop printer, I want cups still try to print until printer is power on. And this work great if I print on a Fedora server (without GUI). If I print a document from gnome on a printer unplugged or power off, this printer is stopped, and when I power on it, I must go to into control panel to start it. How to disable this Gnome "unconfigurable" behavior (into Gnome contro panel there are no options to do this)? Many Thanks -- Dario Lesca (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 26 Workstation)

chronyc keeps on running
by Ranjan Maitra 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Over the past few weeks, my laptop has been running chronyc at full blast. $top 12657 root 20 0 20624 1308 1160 R 93.8 0.0 1739:52 chronyc I looked up chronyc and found that this controls NTP. I use NTP, but do I need to keep this around? Or is the good old ntp good enough? From what I understand, openntp would also work but that is not available on Fedora. I guess I am wondering if there is a major cost to sudo dnf erase chronyc -y. Thanks, Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.

Enable SSLv3 in Postfix
by Nelson Crosby 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hi all. Because Legacy Software, I need to be able to support SSLv3 on my Postfix server. From what I can figure, however, this is disabled in the SSL library itself, as I still cannot get a successful handshake with the following configuration line, which seems to me like it should be enough to enable it: smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2 If anyone has any clues, I'd be very appreciative of any help. // Nelson -- // Nelson Crosby /* nc(a)sourcecomb.com */
