Dependency failed for Suspend
by Neal Becker 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

Recently my system has been refusing to suspend. How can I debug? (I've recently installed expressvpn, could this be the issue?) Here's what the log says: Apr 18 02:30:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: Started Suspend. Apr 18 02:30:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: sleep.target: Unit not needed anymore. Stopping. Apr 18 02:30:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: Stopped target Sleep. Apr 18 02:30:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: suspend.target: Bound to unit systemd- suspend.service, but unit isn't active. Apr 18 02:30:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Suspend. Apr 18 02:30:01 nbecker2 systemd-logind[718]: Operation 'sleep' finished. Apr 18 02:30:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: suspend.target: Job suspend.target/start failed with result 'dependency'.

NFS setup -
by Bob Goodwin 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

I have the NFS server working nicely and doing what I expect it to do, with a lot of help from this list, EXCEPT data is not being put in the right partition! Can I fix this without starting from a new Fedora 27 installation or completely replacing NFS? Df shows the following: $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.8G 32K 1.8G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.8G 1.6M 1.8G 1% /run tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/fedora-root 49G 19G 29G 40% / tmpfs 1.8G 88K 1.8G 1% /tmp /dev/sda2 976M 151M 758M 17% /boot /dev/sda1 200M 18M 183M 9% /boot/efi /dev/mapper/fedora-home 2.7T 4.8G 2.5T 1% /home As you can see it is putting the stored data in "/" [19G in a 49G space]. Those partitions were setup selecting "custom/standard partitions] in the installer. It looks to me like I should've used the 2.7T of space in "/" but that's not easy for me to do now. So I guess it boils down to how do I tell NFS to store data in /home instead of "/"? I've been looking at this and can't see what to change, or maybe it can';t be fixed that way? I have a second 3TB drive installed and idle in which I can start over with a new installation if that would be preferable ...

Wacom Bamboo Slate and Fedora 27+
by Jeremy Eder 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

I'm constantly drawing workflows/diagrams on a notepad...I like the freedom of ink and paper. I then manually convert the useful ones to google draw/lucidcharts. I stumbled on this https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/smartpads/bamboo-slate … and am intrigued. It looks like the way to get it running is: https://github.com/tuhiproject/tuhi … but I wondered if anyone else has any experience with them or similar (perhaps more stable) products like the Wacom Intuos Pro?

Issues trying to lock-down display resolution and overscan
by Go Canes 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

A while back my Intel NUC failed, and I replaced it with a newer one. Since then I have been having a few issues with my display. The first is overscan - the NUC is used as a media PC, and is hooked up via an A/V receiver to a HDTV using HDMI. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the TV to turn off the overscan. With the older NUC, I used intel_panel_fitter (I think) to adjust the display, and all was well. But that program doesn't work on the new NUC. I can however, use xrandr's transform settings, and this seems to be OK. If anyone has better ideas for accommodating overscan (other than buying a new TV), I would love to hear it! The second issue is that when I switch the TV away from the NUC, and then eventually back to the NUC, the display is zoomed slightly - just enough so that the KDE bar at the bottom is now off-screen. I can use xrandr to reset the transforms to their default, and then re-apply my desired transforms and it is back to where it should be. But I would like to eliminate this annoying "zoom" altogether if possible. I thought maybe treating it similar to a KVM switch, and forcing the modeline within the xorg config would help, but it doesn't seem to change the behavior at all. The third issue is that sometimes I lose the display more-or-less completely. I switch the receiver to the NUC, and I get a black screen. If I reboot (via a ssh session), I get nothing. To get the display back, I have to poweroff and cold boot. The login screen is fine, but after logging-in, KDE seems to be set for a lower resolution (800x600?) than the TV is using (1080i), and I have go into "System Settings" to correct it - which is difficult when you can't really read the display very well! Any suggestions on these issues would be appreciated! My google searches haven't come up with much help.

troubles with lyluatex package in Fedora
by Federico Bruni 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Hi I hope there's some savvy TeX user here who can help me to debug this problem: https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex/issues/180 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2018-03/msg00707.html I tried lyluatex using TexLive 2016 in a Debian container and it works fine. But for some reason it doesn't work on Fedora 27, which has also TexLive 2016. This was confirmed by another Fedora user (see above link to lilypond-user mailing list). I also tried upgrading TexLive to 2017¹ (in a container I use for testing), but then found another problem: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2018-03/msg00741.html It looks like I need a more recent version of TexLive 2017, containing these critical luatex fixes committed in June: http://git.preining.info/texlive/log/?h=branch2017 I'm Cc-ing spot, author of below copr repository. I was about to try to update his .spec file, but I see that the latest release of TexLive 2017 is dated 24th of May, while it seems I need a later version. Before investigating more, I'd like to know if someone is already working on it. Thanks in advance! Federico ¹ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/spot/texlive/

Getting started with firewalld
by Chris Adams 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

I am trying to get a handle on firewalld... I can't actually see right off how to limit access to services to certain sources. For example, on a single-interface server, I want to limit access to SSH and SNMP to some "management" networks. With iptables, I might have: *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :mgmt - [0:0] -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport http -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport ssh -j mgmt -A INPUT -p udp --dport snmp -j mgmt -A mgmt -s 10.0.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT -A mgmt -s 10.1.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT -A mgmt -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset -A mgmt -j DROP That means a couple of subnets can reach whatever management services I declare, the rest of the network cannot, and HTTP is just wide open. I set a bunch of different documents talking about assigning interfaces and services to zones, but nothing that tells me how to use those zones to do something useful. -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

NFS server setup -
by Bob Goodwin 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

. I am attempting to set up an NFS server on a new Fedora 27 computer I have assembled using instructions I found, "Fedora Administration_Guide_Draft/NFS" and I am having a problem accessing it. $ cat /etc/exports /var/ftp/pub 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(ro) /home/public 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw) var/ftp/pub 192.168.54.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,no_subtree_check) /var/ftp/pub 192.168.54.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,nohide) Then from the client I get a refusal: # mount 192.168.1.86:/home/public /mnt/test/ mount.nfs: Connection refused There is an ethernet path between them on my lan, ssh works from each computer to the other ... Perhaps a problem with bind, I don't know how to troubleshoot this, would appreciate suggestions.

F26: xfce -> Mate??
by Beartooth 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

I've been running Fedora with MATE for years, and much prefer it. But last week I froze a couple of PCs (by playing carelessly with a couple of new multi-TB storage drives), and grabbed the first netinstall medium I could lay hands on. It happened to be F26 with xfce. I'd like to switch xfce to MATE ASAP, before I upgrade to F27 and then F28. How do I do that? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

initramfs: kernel update adds unwanted driver?
by Grant Edwards 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

On Fedora 27 with kernel recently updated to 4.15.15-300.fc27.i686, I ran into a problem when I installed a new version of a driver (we'll call "foo") in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/[...]. Doing a "rmmod foo; modprobe foo" loads the new driver and everything works great. However, rebooting loads a 15-year old version of the driver (which doesn't work great). lsinitrd shows that the 15-year old driver is present in the initramfs. On a clean install of Fedora 27 (running an identical kernel version) the initramfs does not contain the "foo" driver at all. Did the kernel upgrade process muck up the initramfs by adding the old version of the "foo" driver? The "old" version is the one that's shipped with the kernel package, but I've never seen it included in the initramfs before. What's the best way to remove the old, broken driver from the initramfs so that the driver in the root filesystem is used on boot? Is there a way to prevent the kernel update process from adding the driver back to the initramfs the next time a kernel is updated? Alternatively, I suppose I could add a "service" that runs at boot time and does a "rmmod foo; modrobe foo", but that seems like the wrong way to fix this... -- Grant

fedora 27 doesn't support cups administration from the web browser ?
by Angelo Moreschini 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Hi, after installing fedora 27 I am not able to get the cups administration from the web browser..(http://localhost:631). Looking for help on internet I saw that in the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, should be these lines <I also checked that these lines they are on the same file (.conf) that come with fedora 21> : ------ WebInterface Yes # Allow remote access Port 631 and others too, perhaps that I didn't checked well ------ But these lines aren't on the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf of fedora 27. So my question is : really that can be true ? what is the best way for fixing the problem on my new compputer that have fedora 27 ?
