What the heck is a rc.local stop job?
by Tom Horsley 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

I just rebooted my fedora 27 partition to get new kernel running, and I had to hit the reset button because it stuck here forever: A stop job is running for /etc/rc.d/rc.local Compatibility There is no bloody rc.local script that runs on shutdown, it exists for running stuff at boot. What has systemd done now and how do I make it stop?

Install Fedora 27 on HP Elitebook Folio 1040: Bootloop
by fedora 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Lately, I wanted to install Fedora 27 on the above HW. It uses UEFI instead of BIOS. Install, that means: 1. Download the Fedora Server Netinstall Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso and dd it to a micro SD card. 2. Create an approp ks file on the local Web http://install.lan. 3. Boot from the micro SD card and add the ks file link to the linux boot-line. 4. Let nature take its course 5. Reboot into runlevel 3 6. dnf -y update 7. dnf -y groupinstall “Xfce Desktop” 8 dnf -y install sddm 9. systemctl enable –force sddm But when rebooting (setp 5) the laptop went into a boot loop. There was a message showing up for about half a second, which said: System BootOrder not found. Initializing default. Creating boot file BOOT0000 with Fedora on file abcdefghik. Reset System. Fortunately there is a Boot-Option “Boot from EFI file”, which let me select the grubx64.efi file as boot file. Using this, the laptop booted correctly. Using efibootmgr (efibootmgr -o 0,1,2)I could not set the BootOrder, i.e. I could set it, but it was lost across the BootProcess. The only thing, which was saved across the BootProcess was the BootNext option (set with efibootmgr -n 3). To automate the BootProcess I did the following: su - cd /boot/efi/EFI cp fedora/grubx64.efi BOOT efibootmgr -b 0 -l EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi because: apparently the laptop booted from BOOT0000. The above sequence made it take the file grubx64.efi from BOOT0000 and boot into fedora. That was, however, not the end of the troubles: After fedora had booted and the sddm DisplayManager showed up, I could not enter the password, because the keyboard was irresponsive. But this is another story, which I solved by installing Centos 7 on the laptop. suomi

Upgrade Centos 6 to Centos 7 (32 Bits)
by Ger van Dijck 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hi all , Is there a way to upgrade Centos 6 to Centos 7 (32 Bits) in the same way as I can upgrade Fedora 26 to Fedora 27 with the utility "dnf system-upgrade" ? Regards, Ger van Dijck. -- Gemaakt met Opera's e-mailprogramma: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Is there a crypto policy or not?
by Tom Horsley 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

The /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on my fedora 27 partition says: # To opt out, uncomment a line with redefinition of CRYPTO_POLICY= # variable in /etc/sysconfig/sshd to overwrite the policy. # For more information, see manual page for update-crypto-policies(8). But there is no CRYPTO_POLICY environment variable setting in /etc/sysconfig/sshd or in supposed system wide file /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/openssh-server.config I see referenced in the sshd.service definition.

Maven won't pick up JAVA_HOME
by cen 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Perhaps I am just going crazy but maven just won't pick up JAVA_HOME on F27. 1. sudo dnf install maven 2. echo $JAVA_HOME returns /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-9.0.0.181-7.fc27.x86_64 (which includes bin dir with JDK tools such as javac, keytool etc so it is JDK for sure) 3. Any mvn command results in The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly This environment variable is needed to run this program NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE Also tried JDK8 and Oracel Java 9 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.151-1.b12.fc27.x86_64 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk-9.0.1 ..same result. I feel like there is some hidden config messing me up or some weird stuff happening. Anyone has an idea what it could be? Last time I was still on F26 and it worked.

Hi all, before the last updates, after power on, my fedora 26 showed a list of users and asked for password. I use KDE. After last upgrade (I can't remember what changed, but some related to KDE and X11) the login requires user and password, and it no more lists users and pictures. Can someone explain me why every update change the behaviour of the system? And what appened? Thankyou Ambrogio

printing broken after upgrade to F27
by Kseniya Blashchuk 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

The printer has always been working before, Canon IR2520. After upgrade to 27 the job is hanging in "Processing" state, and the printers application crashes. I see some errors in the logs like: Nov 24 13:08:14 ksy kernel: cnpkmoduleufr2[3582]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000f7d73d33 sp 00000000ff962d80 error 4 in libc-2.26.so [f7ce5000+1ba000] and then stack trace: Nov 24 13:08:33 ksy systemd-coredump[3594]: Process 3364 (gnome-control-c) of user 1000 dumped core.

Does anybody have the same?

systemctl openvpn won't start
by Neal Becker 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

Was working before upgrade to f27. Now: sudo systemctl start openvpn@client-ibecker2 Failed to start openvpn(a)client-ibecker2.service: Unit openvpn@client- ibecker2.service not found. According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Openvpn#Working_with_systemd I would need to have /etc/openvpn/client-ibecker2.conf, which is there (as it's been since 2015). I don't know why this isn't working, or how to debug it (systemctl doesn't seem to have any debug flags)

Sound-setup with alsa and pulseaudio [was: Re: pulseaudio MUST DIE!]
by Wolfgang Pfeiffer 26 Nov '17

Doug, Philip, and Everyone I started a new thread with the quotes below to make sure to not hijack the thread where they were taken from ... Short version: The whole thing isn't that important - if in doubt, ignore it ... :) The main reason I wrote this email is plain and simple curiosity about whether it can be done, and how: namely to feed sound on a Linux machine to two audio systems at the same time: to internal speakers on the computer and to external ones like, e.g., those in a TV, via HDMI. And all this on Fedora 26 system On Thu, 23 Nov 2017 21:49:17 -0500 Doug <dmcgarrett(a)optonline.net> wrote: [ ... ] > Perhaps I should elaborate: On my system, I have a MB with a sound > output.

To get sound simultaneously from your internal computer speakers and TV (connected via HDMI): which tool(s) did you use? pavucontrol? paman? paprefs? Settings in ~/.asoundrc ? Looks like I have two sound systems on my machine - if true it might be possible to run them concurrently: _______________________________ lspci -nnk |grep -A 7 -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:05aa] Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 00:03.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller [8086:0c0c] (rev 06) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:05aa] Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Philip: After I wrote, that I cannot use both speaker systems (internals speakers from the computer and external ones from e.g. TV) at the same time you mentioned ~/.asoundrc: "That should be fixable with a properly configured .asoundrc file? - might need an ALSA guru to do it though . ." Might be difficult to find ALSA gurus ... :) - but I played with .asoundrc years ago on a Macintosh powerp machine, with Debian on it - with surprising results (and I'm far from being an audio guru): https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2009/08/msg00049.html So thanks for pointing to .asoundrc: it hinted to me that ALSA is still there - didn't realize that - I simply thought it was gone with pulseaudio. And yes: I had not much of an idea of what PA actually is until yesterday - I just knew that audio worked here ... Sound setup tho' *might* become more complicated now with both pulseaudio plus alsa being involved - not sure about it yet .. Thanks again ..

Cursor lagging and freezing on MacBook Pro
by Joakim Forøysund 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

Hi! I pulled out my MacBook Pro from back in 2008 and installed F26 on it. It worked fine the first couple of days (except from wifi), but then the cursor started lagging and freezing up. I can move it slowly about an inch on the screen before it freezes. Then I can wait a couple of seconds and move it another inch or so. After a few tries it freezes completely. Everything else responds and I can control the computer with the keyboard. I tried upgrading to F27 after the release, but the issue is the same. Any idea what I can do to fix this? Reinstall is of course an option, but I wanted to check with you first. Any advice is appreciated.
