by Neal Becker 18 Mar '20

Is there a way to query dnf to tell which which repo a given file or a given rpm came from? Thanks, Neal

a personal "user" report - Xfce
by David 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

I am a Fedora user. I like to share my experience with Fedora with other computer users in the world outside of Fedora, but they ridicule and berate me ( even Linux users ), for not using their so-called "normal operating system." So I turn to my potential friends in the Fedora community for moral support. Thank you all for the warm welcome. I use Rawhide, and lately I use Xfce, but I prefer Gnome, and Plasma ( actually have never tried Plasma in Fedora, but it is on my bucket list ) The benefit to using Xfce on Rawhide, is that you get a stable desktop environment, that very rarely changes, but you get to test Fedora's latest version of system components like systemd 245 and kernel 5.6.0-rc5. It just may be, that I am the only person on Earth ( besides the maintainer of Xfce in Fedora ??, whoever that is ), that is interested in this topic. Today's fine update, brought the latest anaconda packages, dracut, firefox, glibc, perl-(numerous packages ), inxi ( which I use regularly ), info, iwl####-firmware, kbd, linux-firmware, pcre2, vim, webkit, python3-cssselect2, shadow-utils, set-troubleshoot-plugins and most of all the initial pieces of kernel rc6, and wine 5.4.1 That update went smoothly, as has most of my past 90 Rawhide updates. I assume that if I were running the pre-Beta of Version 32, that I would get almost similar packages, but just with the fc32 suffix instead of the fc33. I do plan to have an install of Fedora 32 on hardware, but the COVID-19 hysteria has turned my world upside-down. One thing a Rawhide user can do to minimise the risk, is to install the update for each package separately. But I need to learn more about that, before telling people that is the way to do it. Another tip, I have heard is to not do the update from a graphical environment, but instead through the tty. I have not found that to be necessary. My goal is to show people how to use Rawhide, but I am not there yet. Mostly, as to why they should run Rawhide instead of Tumbleweed, or Neon Developer's Unstable Edition, or Mageia Cauldron, or OpenMandriva Cooker. Rawhide is superior, is the reason, but I need to be able to explain that in logical sensical terminology. I am a novice Rawhide user, and probably always will be. ( But even Mr. Torvalds announced once when introducing his new kernel idea, that it was just a tiny project ). Who knows, maybe someday in 2040, I will fork Rawhide, and call it "FudOS." I do not know how to write a "hello world " program. But maybe I will learn that someday. I am pretty good at playing FreeCell in Aisleriot, and not to shabby at Gnome Mahjongg. My long term goal is to learn more about the things that Linux novices struggle with like printing and wi-fi, and video cards and all the things a gamer must do to set up a AAA game with the latest packages. I am not there yet, but occasionally watch a YouTube video to learn. Cheers, David Locklear Arcola, Texas USA

resize an lv
by François Patte 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Bonjour, I need to extend my /home directory which is a logical volume. I read that I can use lvextend without unmounting the /home partition. But what about resize2fs that I must use after lvextend? Just to be sure: my home partition is contained in physical volume which is a raid array (md5), I have nothing to do with this array? (/dev/md5 = 800Gb, /home = 500Gb, I want to extend it to 800Gb) Thank you. -- 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 FSF https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/presenting-shoetool-happy-holidays-from…

Hi there, > Is there a way to query dnf to tell which which repo a given file or a given > rpm came from? According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Yum_to_DNF_Cheatsheet, find-repos-of-install: [Warning] Use dnf list installed pkg instead On my WS, although it is [very!] slow, I get for example $ dnf list perl-interpreter-5.30.1-449.fc31.x86_64 [...] perl-interpreter.x86_64 4:5.30.1-449.fc31 @updates Which I assume/hope means actually 'Fedora 31 - x86_64 - Updates', and *not* 'Fedora Modular 31 - x86_64 - Updates' or 'RPM Fusion for Fedora 31 - Free - Updates' or 'RPM Fusion for Fedora 31 - Nonfree - Updates' Hmm.

missing from sudoers file after update
by Ranjan Maitra 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Hello, I am on F31 and have always used sudo. This morning, after a while, I finally rebooted and am on the 5.5.8-200.fc31.x86_64 kernel. However, I appear to have lost my sudo access. I get: that my username "is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." Not sure how this happened. How do I get back into sudoers? I am not even sure I, (in fact I think that I do not), have a root account. Any suggestions? This is strange.

firefox
by Patrick Dupre 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Hello, For a while now. firefox has a different behavior (font) for a specific web site. Actually, I have 2 machines, with the same installation, but the fonts used for a specific website differs from one machine to the other one. The preferences are identical (as much as I can say). Is there a configuration that I could check? I do not see any thing trivial.

Teo En Ming's Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd Bootable Live CD/DVD Kernel Panic
by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Subject: Teo En Ming's Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd Bootable Live CD/DVD Kernel Panic Good day from Singapore to all Linux users, Recently, on 12 March 2020, I have successfully created my own custom Linux distribution which I affectionately call it Teo En Ming Linux. My custom Linux distribution is based on the most basic Linux From Scratch (LFS) 20200302-systemd book and Linux kernel 5.5.7. I am able to boot it successfully on my Toshiba 1 TB 3.5 inch SATA internal harddisk /dev/sdb2. After the initial success, I wanted to make a bootable Live CD/DVD of my Linux From Scratch system. I followed Jimmy Anderson's guide (which was written more than 7 years ago on 20 Jan 2013) and modified his guide in trying to make it work with LFS 20200302-systemd book. You may refer to the following guides on how I created a bootable Live CD/DVD of my Linux From Scratch system. Blog post #1: "How to create a Bootable Live CD/DVD from your Linux From Scratch (LFS) build" Link: https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.com/2020/03/how-to-create-bootable-live-cddvd-f… Blog post #2: "Patching Linux Kernel 5.5.7 to Add Support for AUFS Filesystem" Link: https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.com/2020/03/patching-linux-kernel-557-to-add.ht… When I booted up my bootable Live CD/DVD, I got a kernel panic. Looking at the following screenshot, it seems that my 64-bit Live CD booted in 32-bit mode. Screenshot: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P_EcnlhuDIQ/XnDso3sjNZI/AAAAAAAAAqw/qa5EZoHQQa8W… Notice the "trampoline_32bit" and "booted via startup_32()" lines on the above screenshot. The following screenshot illustrates the kernel panic. Screenshot: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uSNEk19fG7s/XnDtZf-80_I/AAAAAAAAAq4/Q-GAHKnWe_IS… My guess is that my 64-bit Live CD booted up in 32-bit mode, and when it tried to execute /sbin/init (symlink to systemd binary) after mounting the squashfs root file system, which is 64-bit, it resulted in a kernel panic. What I am trying to say is that the 64-bit Linux kernel on the Live CD boots up in 32-bit mode (my guess), and then tried to execute purely 64-bit binaries, which results in a kernel panic. Please advise me on how I can resolve this issue and produce a working Live CD of my LFS system without kernel panic. 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 and refugee seeking attempts at the United Nations Refugee Agency Bangkok (21 Mar 2017), in Taiwan (5 Aug 2019) and Australia (25 Dec 2019 to 9 Jan 2020): [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming -----END EMAIL SIGNATURE-----
