fedora php package and apache user with nginx
by ITwrx 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

i was wondering why Fedora (and openSUSE) still use "apache" for the php user (and "nginx" user for nginx) instead of using a generic "http" or "www" user for php, apache and nginx like some other distros? When running php under the "nginx" user, the session gets broken every time php is updated, because the package has the "apache" user hardcoded [2] and those dir/file perms get set back to apache. This is annoying and confusing when using nginx and being new to Fedora and doesn't happen on Arch, and i'm guessing not on Ubuntu/(Debian?) either. Now i've made my own session and opcache directories, as mentioned here [1], but i'd rather not have to make these special config adjustments for different distros, especially when it seems like a workaround for something that should be fixed in the packaging. Maybe i'm wrong? Am i missing something about how people are using nginx and php together, or is this just legacy packaging defaults from a time when there was only apache, which haven't been reconsidered since then? If the latter, it would be nice if Fedora would reconsider the way these packages' users are handled. thanks 1) https://askbot.fedoraproject.org/en/question/111334/permissions-on-folders-… 2) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744405

javascript/firefox -- really off topic issue/question
by bruce 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hi. A few weeks ago someone posted an off-topic thread about scraping javascript/dynamic sites. Sorry to say, I've got a similar off-topic post. If this is unacceptable, let me know and I'll delete the thread. I'm dealing with the results of a url/site that has javascript. I had thought I could simply use Firefox, and hit the Developer Tools, and use the Inspector subWindow. All of this seems to work. However, in the Inspector window, I cant figure out how to "expand" all the nodes to see the complete html of the generated page. Been looking all over the net to figure this out. I know it's something subtle. I can set the "mouse" to the "html" node at the top of the window. Using the "right mouse" click I can select the "Exapnd All" option, and it appears to expand the nodes within the html. However, I can't seem to figure out how to then do a "Select All" for all the html in the Inpspector window so I can view the complete html in an external editor. Any idea how this can be accomplished? thanks!

very strange issue after a dnf upgrade from fc31 to fc32
by Michael D. Setzer II 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

did the upgrade and everything seemed to go just fine with the upgrade, but after it rebooted and did the actual upgrade the reboot afterwards resulted in this coming up. No grub boot menu at all? "fatal error: token too large, exceeds YYLMAX" Found this in bugzilla and it talked about a problem with a set root line in the grub.cfg file?? Booted from a livecd usb flash I had and mounted the boot partition. Looked at the grub line, and set root line was fine, but found a set default_kernelopts= line. the original grub.cfg file was 854308 bytes in size??? line had root=UUID-(blkid of root), but then seemed to continue to repeat it over and over again. I shorted it to just have the first one. and deleted the rest of line. Fixed grub.cfg file was just 6892 bytes in size. Rebooted, and machine came up fine?? Have no clue what would cause this strange problem, but was lucky to find a quick fix. Was about to just do a clean install. Any ideals. I have saved the bad grub.cfg file, but opening it with gedit, shows the line as one line, and seems to write over itself?? Seems to be like 13000 of the repeating block ids. Sometime it was UUID= and then a few and sometime a lot repeating. At the very end the last one has the ro rhgb quiet " +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.

rpmconf-matt: Tool for three-way merge of RPM configuration files
by Matt McCutchen 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi Fedora users (FYI to rpmconf maintainer), Several years ago, I wrote a little tool to help automate a three-way merge of RPM-managed configuration files after package upgrades. This has been a sore omission from Fedora for years: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… And I've finally decided to make the tool public on my web site: https://mattmccutchen.net/utils/utils.git/blob/HEAD:/rpmconf-matt It's currently crude in a lot of ways, but others who are still letting RPM mutate their root filesystem (rather than using something like Silverblue) may already find it useful with minimal modifications. If enough people are interested, I may be motivated to clean it up and try to get the functionality added to the rpmconf in Fedora. If people want to help, that's even better. Let me know if there's another place I should promote this. Also please let me know if I've overlooked an existing tool that does the same thing; a quick web search today didn't find any. Cheers, Matt
