THANKS FOR THAT, Steve! I could not get grub2-mkconfig to actually change the grub.cfg file. Now I know why ( but not why such a dangerously misdescriptive switch would be hidden away in a default file). In the past I would just edit the damn file, but the new motherboard uses EFI, and such hands-on fixing might lead to an undesired result! Geoff

Hello, I have a USB key with fedora 32. It works fine on a PC (A), but I cannot boot on it with another computer (UEFI): B ls /run/media/user/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6/ images EFI isolinux LiveOS /run/media/user/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6/EFI/BOOT BOOT.conf BOOTX64.EFI grub.cfg grubx64.efi mmx64.efi BOOTIA32.EFI fonts grubia32.efi mmia32.efi /dev/sde1 * 0 3840191 3840192 1.9G 0 Empty /dev/sde2 172 22559 22388 11M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) /dev/sde3 22560 69423 46864 22.9M 0 Empty On the other hand, I checked that I can boot on PC B from a USK stick (which is also UEFI, if I understand correctly) ls /run/media/user/GPARTED/EFI/BOOT bootx64.efi multibootusb_grub2.txt Is there something special to configure when booting? =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 ===========================================================================

usual torment after updating firefox
by François Patte 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I updated my firefox and, as usual, the syntax to configure the place of the tab bar has changed.... So, my tab bar is at the top of all bars and I want it just above the tabs themselves... This happens everytime developpers have some gas I think and it is very ennoying because we have many things else to do.... I just came accross a new torment: firefox claims that it has been updated in background (almost two hours after my update of the whole system) and I have to restart it without any delay.... no care of what I am doing! Boring! If someone has the recipe to change the place of the tab bar, I will be happy to know it.

nfs mount problem -
by Bob Goodwin 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

I have been chipping away at incorporating a new ASUS RT-ACFH13 router in my system for a few days but it is beginning to seem like an eternity! I have used a number of routers and they usually work after some configuration, it's not a difficult thing to do. But I am beginning to wonder if this one has some unusual defect. It's wifi works, the iPhones, iPads, a Mac portable, even a Windows10 portable seem to connect without complaints. But my wired ethernet NFS server and the SMB server do not? The USB connected drive is listed but shows as "not mounted." the NFS server is listed among the wired devices along with two Workstations and a Brother printer all of which work, but the NFS server does not. and from this computer I get "192.168.50.32access denied": [root@WS1 bobg]# mount 192.168.50.32:/nfs4exports/home /media/nfs mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.50.32:/nfs4exports/home I can ssh to 192.168.50.32 and from there I can ssh back to either workstation, systemctl status shows sshd Active on both of them. I have changed nothing in the NFS server, the router set the ip addresses in the .50 subnet which is ok I would think. What am I missing or should I return the router to Amazon?

Hello, What control the call to .bash_profile? I am 2 machines and a different behavior while, I cannot see the difference in the configuration. On both machines .bash_profile is run in text terminal But on one, it is also run in gnome-terminal but not on the other one. I check the profile preferences, both are the same (command run: none checked).

rsync question?
by bruce 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Hey. I've got a test scenario. I'm looking to copy from sourceDir to targetDir where the entire targetDir (parents) doesn't exist. So I'm trying to rsync and create the dir path at the same time. I've tried to play with variations of the following and I'm missing something.. rsync -aq --rsync-path='mkdir -p /home/webdev/composer/vendor/laravel && rsync' /home/test/.config/composer/vendor/laravel/ /home/webdev/composer/vendor/laravel rsync: mkdir "/home/webdev/composer/vendor/laravel" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(664) [Receiver=3.1.3] The source dir exists. The "/home/webdev" dir exists. thoughts/comments? thanks

Missing dev files for xdamage triggered a bunch of warnings. In the end I reinstalled the xdamage dev package and that made everything happy. Thanks

Finally got it sorted out. For some reason the missing dev files for one or two packages triggered the bunch of warnings.
