VPN options
by Keith Lofstrom 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

I am planning on running a Virtual Private Network from my Fedora firewall out to a UML virtual colo (running RH9) at another site. That site will be the place I present services to the world; httpd, ssh, sftp, smtp. This is to comply with the "no servers" and dynamic ip restrictions on my Comcast connection to the net; if my firewall always drives an outbound connection to the colocation site, I am not worried about changes of ip address, and I am not opening any inbound ports. There are a number of options for the VPN - the most attractive are cipe ( http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/cipe.html ) and FreeSwan ( http://www.freeswan.org/ ), though I am told that one can do all this through an ssh tunnel. I would rather have simple and secure than super-duper; I have plenty of bandwidth, and will send outbound http and smtp from the firewall, so the main bandwidth user will be incoming spam/b/b/b/b mail. Anyone have some experiences to share about setting up VPN? Is there anything about either cipe or FreeSwan that is likely to break with FC1 or FC2?

How do I generate grub for legacy?
by ToddAndMargo 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi All, I have a Fedora 30 flash drive set up for dual booting from Legacy or UEFI. It boots beautifully from UEFI. (It also have a bios_grub partition). It booted perfectly from both under Fedora 29. Now when booting from legacy, it go into "System Setup". If you press system Setup, I get a "/grub/core-system" type error Remaking grub.cfg, I get # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Generating grub configuration file ... Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done Uhhhhh.. I wanted legacy, not EFI. What am I missing?

copy and paste from mouse when window full of icons?
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hello, while using "Files", the explorer application (version 3.28.1-stable) in my Fedora 28 system, I have sometimes this kind of problem: - I normally use what should be "list view" with list of file names - if I have to paste a file/dir or group of copied files/dirs into a location where the page listed is full (no blank space inside it), it seems that I cannot paste: the right mouse click doesn't offer the paste option. In these cases I temporarily switch to what should be "icon view" and in this case I always have some blank space because of how items are displayed. I select a blank space and then right-mouse --> paste Then I come back to list view... Is this a sort of bug or what? Based on this link https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/files-copy.html.en I should have "paste" option in menu, but it doesn't happen, see screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X1ZPYPJ5B8IRDA6T_LL5AfbCD2YFAy6_/view?usp=… NOTE: keyboard shortcut ctrl+c and ctrl+v works, though Thanks in advance.

Why Must I Do "dnf clean all" Before Updating Will Proceed?
by Garry Williams 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

On most occasions I have to clean files before I am allowed to update a Fedora 30 system: garry@ifr$ sudo dnf upgrade [sudo] password for garry: Fedora 30 - x86_64 - Updates 63 kB/s | 18 kB Fedora 30 - x86_64 - Updates 226 kB/s | 659 kB Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates' Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates' garry@ifr$ sudo dnf clean all 68 files removed garry@ifr$ sudo dnf upgrade Fedora 30 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 11 kB/s | 5.1 kB Fedora 30 - x86_64 - Updates 2.3 MB/s | 12 MB Fedora 30 - x86_64 1.0 MB/s | 70 MB google-chrome 37 kB/s | 3.4 kB Copr repo for qt5-qtbase-print-dialog-advanced o 91 kB/s | 100 kB RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Free - Updates 128 kB/s | 130 kB RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Free 570 kB/s | 735 kB RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Nonfree - Updates 54 kB/s | 34 kB RPM Fusion for Fedora 30 - Nonfree 449 kB/s | 227 kB Visual Studio Code 363 kB/s | 2.1 MB Dependencies resolved. ================================================================== Does anyone know what is special about this system that it requires clean all before it will update?

f29 to f30 and grub config only memtest present
by Gianluca Cecchi 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Hello, on a pc where I had both Windows 7 and Fedora 29, with boot loader configured in linux and grub2, I have run the update to Fedora 30 using the usual procedure described here, and already completed on another pc (but without the dual boot...): https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-29-to-fedora-30/ after the commad sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot I saw the laptop rebooting, installing all the about 9k packages, than verifying them and as soon as it had verified the last one, I saw again reboot (is it expected?), but then in grub options I only see memtest windows 7 windows 7 recovery environment So I think something went bad in updating grub2 config... Any hint on how to recover grub, eventually booting from a usb stick in any way? Already happened to anyone else with f29 to f30? I followed on the same laptop the same procedure without problems from f26 (or f27) to f29 until this problem. Thanks, Gianluca

Konqueror :-{
by Beartooth 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

When did Konqueror become enslaved to Google? Is there a way to liberate it? Or at least to get it back to displaying man pages? I don't use Google, except by way of Duckduckgo or other privacy- providing intermediary. In fact, my main and almost only use of Konqueror is for man pages, which fonts big enough for my ancient eyeballs format unreadably elsewhere. (I run Mate, and if I could find a second string to Brasero that I could count on, I could uninstall all of KDE.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Fedora 30 and problem with monitor resolution detection in gdm/Gnome?
by Gianluca Cecchi 02 Jun '19

02 Jun '19

Hello, I have an Intel Skull NUC, model NUC6i7KYK, with Intel video adapter 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Iris Pro Graphics 580 (rev 09) detailed specs here: https://www.intel.it/content/www/it/it/products/docs/boards-kits/nuc/nuc-ki… It is connected to a Dell U2515H: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/06291c It was initially installed with F29 (with Wayland disabled in /etc/gdm/custom.conf) and used resolution always being 2560x1440. Almost when F30 was released I upgraded and no problems until today. When powering on I see no user icons in gdm. So I switched to sddm and lxdm and there I was able to see my users login, but both trying Gnome session and Mate session it seems I don't see the top bars. While in Mate with Alt+F2 I opened a terminal window and executed xdpyinfo. Strangely it reported a not possible resolution.... screen #0: dimensions: 5120x1440 pixels (1354x381 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 root window id: 0x162 depth of root window: 24 planes So I decided to force 2560x1440 with this file, named 00-monitor.conf and put into directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ml522neE-l6hsGKtGXnWHnz2cpxCsuJO/view?usp=… After reboot still gdm is not able to show me any user icons (perhaps it doesn't use the conf file), and again using lxdm and sddm and choosing Gnome session I don't see top bar and other things. Instead, i can use without any problem Mate and now I can see the top bar and correctly use the session. Opening xdpyinfo from a terminal I correctly get what forced: screen #0: dimensions: 2560x1440 pixels (677x381 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 root window id: 0x162 depth of root window: 24 planes Things above let me think about a problem in Gnome itself, impacting gdm too.. Yesterday evening while connected I updated as from this log, without rebooting: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10F-i8ogYAuXIouAC0o6t3DZ08yLz_q15/view?usp=… And I think this update generated the problem, because this evening after booting I had it. I tried to switch to a terminal and update again and I got these packages' updates: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TUdZVlwLakIEjm8Y7ybx8m2cMhIEzlFS/view?usp=… and reboot but still the problem is here... Anyone experimented this? Thanks Gianluca

RPM specfile error with F30

Hi, I have the following specfile which compiled fine in F29 but is not able to find references to standard functions in X11, etc even though the compilation happens without error (outside the rpmbuild environment).

F29 to F30 VMware upgrade
by CLOSE Dave 30 May '19

30 May '19

I have upgraded three VMware images previously running Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 using system-upgrade. All the images are running on the same ESC hardware and, so far as I know, use the same VMware foundation. The first worked flawlessly. Both the second and third failed in exactly the same way: they failed to reboot successfully after the upgrade. When the reboot occurred, VMware reported a "alloc magic" error immediately and froze. Not being a VMware expert, I referred the issue to someone who is and he discovered that the MBR, master boot record, on the image was corrupt. After installing a new MBR, the system booted and the upgrade showed no further problems. While investigating, we were sidetracked by the content of grub.cfg. It appears that grub no longer includes a section for each possible system to be booted. Not seeing any, we thought grub.cfg was corrupt also. But that is apparently not the case. After the MBR fix, the generated grub.cfg works properly. -- Dave Close

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-modular' (F29)
by Ranjan Maitra 30 May '19

30 May '19

Hi, On a new Fedora 29 installation, I get: sudo dnf update ... Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-modular' Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-modular' So, I look around, and the solution may be: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi However, it is on updates-testing and I can not get past installing anything because I always hit the above. I even download the three rpms and try a local install but get the same result because I am unable to get past the above. sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2019-28516f8c38 ... Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-modular' Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-modular' Any suggestions how to get around this bug? I even tried doing: sudo rpm -Uvh for the three rpms (and they seemingly installed) but I still get the same error upon updating. sudo dnf update Fedora Modular 29 - x86_64 0.0 B/x | 0 B 00:00 Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-modular' Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora-modular' Any suggestions as to what I could try? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan
