Is Fedora 30 able to support Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition or AMD Ryzen 9 3950X?
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Good morning from Singapore, Is Fedora 30 able to support Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition or AMD Ryzen 9 3950X? Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition has 18 cores and 36 threads while AMD Ryzen 9 3950X has 16 cores and 32 threads. Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition technical specifications: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/189126/intel-core-i9-9… AMD Ryzen 9 3950X technical specifications: https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-3950x What I am trying to ask is, is Fedora 30 able to support and make full use of so many CPU cores and so many threads? Thank you very much. -----BEGIN EMAIL SIGNATURE----- The Gospel for all Targeted Individuals (TIs): [The New York Times] Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html ******************************************************************************************** Singaporean Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 14 Feb 2019 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming -----END EMAIL SIGNATURE-----

quick (I hope) e-mail security question.
by home user 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

I just received a message from [sender](a)gmail.com but the last line in the message is a bluish line saying "Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android" I do know someone named [sender] but the from address is not what I have for that person, though the sender could have gotten a new e-mail address very recently. Also, the from address being a Google e-mail address seems to contradict the last line saying the message was sent from Yahoo Mail. Is this message probably genuine or probably a spoof? thanks, Bill.

gfs file sharing
by ToddAndMargo 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

Hi All, I heard o a you tube video about a file sharing technique called gfs. I may has misunderstood the letters as I have trouble with high frequency hearing. Is there other alternatives out there for cross platform file sharing other than Samba? (I know about NFS.) Many thanks, -T

This is for my broadcom wifi from non-free rpmfusion. It seems a bad thing for me to do this update. Recommendations? thanks

Manually installed grub (no bls) doesn't update entries automatically on kernel install or removal.
by Sergio Cipolla 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

I have a legacy BIOS. I didn't install grub through anaconda, instead I installed it manually (as per https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?313824 ) to a partition so as to be able to use the Windows boot loader. All went well. I noticed grub was installed the traditional way (not the new bls) so I can just edit /etc/default/grub and run grub2-mkconfig for any modification I want. The only issue, so to speak (because I don't know if it's a bug or a setting), is that on new kernel installations or kernel removals, I must manually run grub2-mkconfig to re-generate grub.cfg The Fedora documentation (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2#Updating_GRUB_2_configuration_on_BIOS…), which describes the old behaviour, states that 'Grubby in Fedora patches the configuration when a kernel update is performed'. So maybe, with the new bls thing, the kernel scriptlets aren't using this any more. Anybody knows anything about it? Can I set something so 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' is called again automatically on kernel install or removal?

utility of gnome-keyring and secret-tool
by François Patte 14 Jul '19

14 Jul '19

Bonjour, I am curious to know what is the utility of gnome-keyring: I stored a password for msmtp using secret-tool, and going to .local/share/keyrings/ I can read this password clearly stored in a file in this directory..... So, there is absolutely no secret! Thank you for lights. PS. Why is secret-tool not working for root? -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

Opening Files With Root Privilege?.....
by Eddie G. O'Connor Jr. 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

Hello all, There was a time when you could go to the terminal and type in "sudo nautilus" and you'd get the file system to open with root powers so that you could do things and manipulate files. This seems to have been removed / stopped / taken away? So how do I gain the ability to work on files / folders or directories now? Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Thanks! EGO II

What to do instead of using rc.local?
by Tim 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

Hi, For the last umpteen years, I did this in /etc/rc.local: su tim -c "/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 900" And likewise, for several other users, but with different time periods to minimise overlaps. But that won't work, anymore. The log returns: rc.local: fetchmail: open: /home/tim/.fetchmailrc: Permission denied My /home/tim permissions always were, and always will be: drwx------. 24 tim tim 4096 Jul 10 21:23 tim I won't be making the permissions more permissive. So, how do I do something equivalent? (That auto-starts the fetchmail daemon going any time the server is booted, and doesn't require the user to log on.)

tracer told me to systemctl restart dbus-broker - bad move
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

Whenever I do an dnf update, I run tracer to see what action I need to take. This morning it informed me to run: sudo systemctl restart dbus-broker I did and it seemed to crash everything. Lost my gui, went back to the console log. Had to power off and start anew.
