lost the meta key in gnome-terminal after 32 -> 33 upgrade
by Denis Shaposhnikov 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi! After upgrade my Fedora from 32 to 33 I found Meta key in the gnome-terminal works strange. Looks like now the gnome-terminal recognizes Alt key as Meta key. Everywhere in the system Win key is the Meta key and in the gnome-terminal only Alt key is the Meta key. I see it because before Win+Backspace deleted the whole word, but now it deletes just one symbol and Alt+Backspace deletes the whole word. Does anybody know how to return it to previous behavior?

HTML/PDF -
by Bob Goodwin 23 Nov '20

What is the best way to convert an HTML file to PDF. I have a two page report in HTML form that I want to change to PDF. I can scan a printed copy but I would like to convert the HTML file I received to PDF. LibreOffice reformat it into a four page document, I would prefer to keep the original two page style.

'smbclient' Crashing on Fedora 33
by Tim Evans 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Have been working this on the BackupPC users mailing list, but it's looking more like a general problem in F33's Samba utility, 'smbclient.' BackupPC is a backup server package that uses Samba, rsync, and other protocols to backup clients, including Windows PC's. Basically, it runs a command like this for a SMB backup of a PC: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\new-pelican\\C\$ -U backup -E -d 2 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - Output is piped to BackupPC utilities that unpack and index the backup, and do other housekeeping My backups have consistently failed since my upgrade to F33 (were working without problems for years before, and most recently on F32). Looking closely, it appears 'smbclient' is crashing after passing exactly 47 files. (BackupPC then quits after data stops coming in.) I've run this command at the command-line; it runs for a few seconds then reports a core dump. Gnome shell then prompted me to file a bugzilla, which I have done. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1900232 "[abrt] samba-client: remove_do_list_queue_head(): smbclient killed by SIGSEGV") Anybody have further suggestions, please? -- Tim Evans |5 Chestnut Court 443-394-3864 |Owings Mills, MD 21117

KDE System Monitor Widget Problem after upgrade to Fedora-33
by Jonathan Ryshpan 21 Nov '20

21 Nov '20

Th KDE System Monitor Widget does not display Network Speed. There is a box on the panel where the network load would normally be shown. Relevant Sensors are: "Download Rate" and "Upload Rate". System is * Fedora-33 (as of this afternoon) * System Monitor Sensor 1.0 * KDE Frameworks 5.75.0 * Qt 5.15.1 (built against 5.15.1) * The xcb windowing system CPU load appears to be working properly.

Post F32->F33 upgrade rsync w ssh fails
by Max Pyziur 21 Nov '20

21 Nov '20

Greetings, Even though I had done the F33 upgrade sometime ago, I am only now seeing that it appears to have affected my rsync backups. When my CentOS server issues the rsync backup the following error appears: no hostkey alg rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(600) [receiver=3.0.6] Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I've done some Googling; it seems that crypto policies have been upgraded; general suggestion is to regenerate keys; but so far I'm having no success restoring the rsync process. Much thanks as always, Max pyz(a)brama.com

I meant before you actually write to a disc, you have to have the data from your original disc somewhere right ? What would you use to record that from the original disc ? That's what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.

How use thin snapshots with a non-thin root filesystem ?
by Sreyan Chakravarty 21 Nov '20

21 Nov '20

I am looking into thin snapshots since the older COW snapshots delay my boot enormously. My normal root fs is on a normal "non-thin" volume. So to make a snapshot I have boot into a live cd environment then set my root fs volume to read-only and then set it to inactive. Commands: sudo lvchange -pr vgfedora/fedora sudo lvchange -an vgfedora/fedora Now I create the thin snapshot using lvcreate, after that I need to restore my root LVS to its original state: sudo lvchange -ay vgfedora/fedora sudo lvchange -prw vgfedora/fedora This fails with: Command on LV vgfedora/fedora uses options that are invalid with LV parameters: lv_is_external_origin. I mean what is the point of creating a thin snapshot if I can't change my original volume ? What am I doing wrong? -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty

Let me know if I am doing anything wrong. I am checking the boot logs via : journalctl -b Also no change in the dmesg output. Nevertheless, the think I have found the problem: Nov 20 21:14:15 dracut-initqueue[902]: Scanning devices dm-0 for LVM logical volumes vgfedora/fedora Nov 20 21:14:16 dracut-initqueue[927]: inactive Original '/dev/vgfedora/fedora' [700.00 GiB] inherit Nov 20 21:14:16 dracut-initqueue[927]: inactive Snapshot '/dev/vgfedora/pre_kde_Nov_9' [70.00 GiB] inherit Nov 20 21:17:27 systemd[1]: Found device /dev/mapper/vgfedora-fedora.

As you can see there is a 3 minute delay to load or find the snapshot. The question is what do I do now ?
