how to correctly log without journald (and its blobs)?
by Franta Hanzlík 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

In previous Fedora distros was (IMHO) right way to log only to syslog, without journald and its (for me) unwanted annoying binary logs, by using configuration as: *) Set systemd log target to syslog: systemd.log_target=syslog (syslog-or-kmsg) ---- on kernel cmdline systemd.default_standard_output=syslog --/ and LogTarget=syslog ---- in systemd.conf DefaultStandardOutput=syslog --/ *) configuring rsyslog to listen on /dev/log unix socket: $SystemLogSocketName /dev/log ------ in rsyslog.conf $ModLoad imuxsock ----/ $OmitLocalLogging off ---/ $AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/syslog --/(legacy directives) $AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/socket -/ $AddUnixListenSocket /run/systemd/journal/stdout / (not sure when all last three directives needed) *) prevent to run journald: systemctl mask systemd-journald.service (and maybe mask systemd-journal-flush.service) And it works fine. But in actual Fedora 24 in systemd man page values syslog-or-kmsg and syslog are missing in LogTarget option. As systemd/journald man pages say hardly anything about exact mean of appropriate configuration for this purpose, then please when someone more knowledgeable can advise: - where to direct the systemd output? Maybe to kmsg an then read it in rsyslog via imklog? (rsyslog should have also imkmsg module, but is not in rsyslog-8.12.0-3.fc24) - what about /run/log/journal/.../system.journal ? On my test F24 system it have open rsyslogd, abrt-dump-journal-oops and abrt-dump-journal-xorg (no need for these last two) processes. Uses it also something else? - what about /run/systemd/journal/{dev-log,socket,stdout} unix sockets? Should rsyslogd listen on them? - /dev/log seems be now symlink to /run/systemd/journal/dev-log socket (as defined by systemd-journald-dev-log.socket) Should it be left (because now something sends to /run/systemd/journal/dev-log), or can be /run/systemd/journal/dev-log removed? Thanks in advance for some clarification about this. Franta Hanzlik

Running local SSH as background process - possible??
by bruce 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Ok guys, I know this isn't strictly "Fed" related, but the group might have suggestions. My use case, the process has a number of remote servers. I'd like to be able to run a bunch of commands on the remote servers as fast as posible. The initial thought was to loop through the different IPAddresses, and SSH into each server, to run the commands. However, this process was still "sequential" in that each SSH session needs to complete, prior to running the next server/ssh command. So, my question/need -- is to figure out how to run a ssh as a background on the local server. This approach would/should allow the process to quickly fire off commands to the remote ipaddresses/servers in a much faster/parallel manner. sortof: foreach iplist as ipaddress ssh user1@ipaddress command & (assuming that the '&' runs the local ssh in the background -- it doesn't!) Running "stuff" on the remote can occur in a "Screen" session, which would allow the ssh process to fire off the remote cmd, but it still doesn't run the local ssh as a "background" process.. Rick has mentioned/discussed the "Screen" function in past threads. Thoughts/comments....

Openvpn start fails on reboot
by Stephen Davies 24 Sep '17

24 Sep '17

If I reboot my F24 system, openvpn server fails to properly start but a subsequent manual systemctl start openvpn@server does succeed. The reboot log shows: Mar 5 11:52:51 mustang audit: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=openvpn@server comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' Mar 5 11:52:51 mustang systemd: Started OpenVPN Robust And Highly Flexible Tunneling Application On server. Mar 5 11:52:51 mustang audit: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=openvpn@server comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' Mar 5 11:52:53 mustang systemd: openvpn(a)server.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Mar 5 11:52:53 mustang systemd: openvpn(a)server.service: Unit entered failed state.

It looks as if the automatic start may be happening too early in the boot process.

Is there a way to stop ipv6 leakage without turning off ipv6?
by William Oliver 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

I'm using Fedora 25 on an HP laptop with KDE. I commonly use a VPN service, but it leaks ipv6 addresses. This seems to be a common problem with VPN and ipv6, from what I've read on the internet. So, I've turned off ipv6 for my wireless interface, and that seems to solve the problem. However, I just can't help but think that this will eventually cause a problem somewhere. Is there a better solution for ipv6 leakage with a vpn on Fedora 25 other than just turning it off? Thanks, billo

No X after booting F25

Since upgrading to F25, I no longer get a graphical login page. I have run systemctl set-default graphical.target and runlevel5.target and default.target both point to graphical.target but I still get the non-graphical login.

gdm won't start gnome (wayland) session after running once a gnome-classic session
by Joachim Backes 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hi all, normally, I'm using a gnome (wayland) desktop sessions. If I started (only once) the gnome classic session, then logging out and thenre-logging in again with the usage of gnome (wayland), I still get a gnome classic session. Only after restarting my box, I can again run gnome (wayland) sessions. My login manager is gdm. Anybody sees this too? Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) Kernel-4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/

Video editing disaster
by Wade Hampton 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

I am trying out multiple video editors on Fedora, with very poor results and a ton of crashes. Anyone have recommendations on how to stablize one of these or can you recommend a video editor that just works (like kdenlive used to when I used it last a year ago)? I am having the same results on two Fedora 25, 64-bit systems, fully updated. The packages are from rpmfusion and on one of the two systems from unitedrpms. My main system is an older 6-core AMD with 8G of RAM so it should handle it. The files I am testing with are: JPG images from a DSLR Quicktime from my DSLR (MVI_xxx.MOV), Movie from my Android phone xxxxxxxxx.m2ts Movie from a DVD xxx.mpg Movie from a digital camcorder (Sony AVCHD): xxxx.MTS KDENLIVE: My goto editor was Kdenlive, but it won't open files. I keep getting "clip is invalid". The terminal outputs: mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib64/mlt/libmltavformat.so (/lib64/libavdevice.so.57: symbol av_buffersink_get_sample_aspect_ratio, version LIBAVFILTER_6 not defined in file libavfilter.so.6 with link time reference) I think there is a lib miss-match. PITIVI: Pitivi is nice, but I can't keep it running. Multiple core dumps. OPENSHOT: I really love OpenShot. I tried the one from rpmfusion and it crashed all the time, for example when trying transitions. I also tried the latest version via AppImage: OpenShot-v2.3.3-x86_64.AppImage This seemed much more stable, but I could still crash it with transitions, adding an MP3 file for audio, etc. Anyone have a good, stable video editor or have suggestions on how to run one of these in a stable platform? Note, I am filing bug reports on many of these crashes.... Thanks, -- Wade Hampton
