Fedup Failure
by Mark Bidewell 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

I tried upgrading from Fedora 19 to 20. When the System Upgrade task starts I get a failure around /run/initramfs (it moves fast). Then it boots back to Fedora 19. Any thoughts on how to debug? -- Mark Bidewell http://www.linkedin.com/in/markbidewell

F19: how to name interface, persistently

Why did SELinux relable my filesystem?
by Steven P. Ulrick 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hello, Everyone During my most recent re-boot, SELinux relabled my entire filesystem. Which would be fine, except for the fact that I have SELinux disabled on my system: > # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. > # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: > # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. > # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. > # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. > SELINUX=disabled > # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: > # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, > # minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected > processes are protected. # mls - Multi Level Security protection. > SELINUXTYPE=targeted Why did SELinux, which is disabled on my system, spend all that time re-labeling my filesystem?

fedup and selinux
by Bill Murray 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Dear all, I had trouble persuading 'fedup --network 20' to run on my f19 laptop. It install all the files and gets ready. Then it boots and gets as far as: [ OK ] Started trigger flushing of journal to persistent storage [ OK ] Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth [ OK ] Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth [ OK] Started Recreate Volatile files and Directories There are then 3 lines of selinux permission denied. But no problem, selinux is set permissive anyway. Earlier on I see 'dracut-initqueue[400] failed to issue method call: Access denied' However, when I add selinux=0 to the command line..installation proceeds. This is very odd - selinux was in permissive mode. This is a bug I think?

Reverse E-Mail Blockage.....
by EGO-II.1 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hello you Ferdorans! (FedorIANS?...) I have a question,.....now....we all know that there's ways to block unwanted email from your system using Message Filters, and they work by blocking a certain domain or email address and prevent them from hitting your Inbox, I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to filter your messages in a sort of "reverse" order.....in other words instead of me telling the Mail Filter Rule: Block anything with the email address of (ABC@123) I would like it to be "Allow everything from (123@ABC) and block "Everything Else"...how would one go about doing this using Fedora 20 and Thunderbird? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank You EGO II

GNOME questions on fc20
by Alex 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

Hi, I have fc20 installed successfully on my desktop. How can I configure the clock at the top to show the date? Why would it be so difficult to do such a simple thing? I googled a bit, and saw a reference to editing dateMenu.js, but the suggestions didn't work. I can't believe I'd have to edit a text file to adjust the clock?! I get the whole thing with not being able to (easily) minimize applications. I know I can also switch between them with alt-tab. I also know I can select them from "Activities", but that's an extra two steps. Is there any way to "dock" apps like we used to be able to, so I can select them with the mouse to choose between them? Thanks, Alex

Thank you. My apologies for leaving your name in the Subject line. It was a copy paste error that has been perpetuated as others have replied. The RPMFusion repos do have the proper VirtualBox packages, so it seems that fedup is not looking at the 3rd party repos that I have configured. Interestingly, I found this on the Fedora FedUp Wiki page: *Will packages in third party repositories be upgraded?* Yes, if they are set up like regular yum repositories and do not hard code the repository path. Commonly-used third party repositories usually work fine, but if you attempt to upgrade prior to or soon after an official Fedora release, they may not have updated their repository paths yet, and FedUp may be unable to find their packages. This will usually not prevent the upgrade running successfully, though, and you can update the packages from the third-party repository later. After reading this, I checked my RPMFusion repos and found that none are hard-coded. All are using the $releasever variable, and all resolve to valid repos with the proper packages available. My assumption is that something isn't working as described. Brian

Limiting disk usage by journald
by Suvayu Ali 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

Hi, On one of my systems, journald is using over 1 gig of disk space. So I tried to limit it in /etc/systemd/journald.conf like this: [Journal] #SystemMaxUse=1.0G SystemMaxFileSize=1.0G However it seems to be ignored. After a # systemctl restart systemd-journald.service I see the following: Dec 31 18:45:01 <hostname> systemd-journal[13137]: Permanent journal is using 1.4G (max 4.0G, leaving 4.0G of free 78.5G, current limit 4.0G). Dec 31 18:45:01 <hostname> systemd-journal[13137]: Journal started What should I do to limit the journal size? Thanks for any ideas, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

kickstart variables?
by Stephen Berg (Contractor) 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

Is there a list of available variables when doing a kickstart install? I'm working up a kickstart for F20 and got curious if there's any that anaconda sets by default. I know that you can use $releasever and $basearch when defining repos. A few that I'd like to use if they exist would be: $mac (MAC address of the active network connection) $ip (current IP address) $nic (the name of the active network card, eno1, em1, eth0 or whatever) The intent here is to do a kickstart install and end up with a system that has eth0 as the NIC name. MatLab from Mathworks wants to see eth0 when it does it's licensing thing. I can easily get the system using eth0 after install, but if I could set it up that way from the kickstart it would save me some time on new installs and re-installs. -- Stephen Berg Systems Administrator NRL Code: 7320 Office: 228-688-5738 stephen.berg.ctr(a)nrlssc.navy.mil
