grub recovery
by Peter Lesterhuis 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Hi, After a Windows update my (dual boot) system won't boot into fedora anymore. Somehow the grub bootloader doesn' t start. After booting this is what I see: Minimal Bash-like line editing is supported. For the first word TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub>_ When I issue the command "exit" the Windows bootloader pops up. I googled on this subject, but found many completely different answers. I would appreciate any suggestion. How can I recover my system?

Help! I decided to try an upgrade from 24 to 25 instead of a clean install, but have run into a problem. All the filed downloaded fine, but the last reboot step gives me an error. The error I get is: warning: /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/rpmfusion-nonfree-appstream-data- 25-3.fc25.noarch.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID fa7a179a: NOKEY Importing GPG key 0x96CA6280: Userid : "RPM Fusion nonfree repository for Fedora (24) <rpmfusion -buildsys(a)lists.rpmfusion.org>" Fingerprint: DD75 25B6 184B 0512 AA8C B100 2E59 159B 96CA 6280 From : /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-25 Is this ok [y/N]: y Key imported successfully Import of key(s) didn't help, wrong key(s)?

Installing F25 with KDE
by GianPiero Puccioni 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Hi, What is the difference between installing F25 with KDE from the KDE spin and installing from the netinst CD and choosing KDE interface? The latter is what I normally do as it gives me the latest packages from the start. Thanks, GiP -- GianPiero Puccioni |Istituto dei Sistemi Complessi-CNR gianpiero.puccioni(a)isc.cnr.it |Via Madonna del Piano, 10 T:+39 0555226682 F:+39 0555226683|50019 Sesto F. (Firenze) ITALY

fc25 ypbind/nis fails
by Ralf Corsepius 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Hi, has anybody managed to get ypbind working with f25? If so, how? ypbind used to work with fc25 prereleases[1,2], but with the post fc25-release update to ypbind-1.38-6.fc26.x86_64, ypbind fails at system startup/when booting. Ralf [1] ypbind-1.38-5.fc24.x86_64 [2] nss_nis is installed

F25: rsync: ld.so: dl-close.c: 811: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed!
by Nick Urbanik 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Dear Folks, After upgrading a number of machines from F24 to F25, I get this error message after each use of rsync, unison, or shutdown: $ Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 811: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed! Is this just my system or do others see this? Wondering too what component to file this bug under. No other problems found. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org nicku(a)nicku.org GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24

Re: Fedora 25 released!

On Tue, 22 Nov 2016, Matthew Miller wrote: > Fedora 25 released! > =================== [ ... deleted for brevity ...] Call me "late to the party." I just finished upgrading my hardware to F24 from F23. The big challenge was the PostGIS/PostgreSQL upgrade that needed other work besides the Fedora dnf upgrade process. (I have notes/scripts, etc., that I would be happy to share). Since this is ad-hoc, there can be errors and problems. Are there any similar caveats in going from F24 to F25? Thanks Max Pyziur pyz(a)brama.com

Using John to crack a password
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

I have a running system that I have forgotten the root password. I really do not want to take down the system, go through the steps to boot up in single user mode and change the password. I just happen to have used the same password on a test system, so I was able to copy the /etc/passwd, edit it so that it only contains the root user and feed it into john on a notebook I have (F22). Well john has been working for 20 hours (one cpu pegged at 100%). I did not think the password was that complex! Anyone have any experience with this? Is there a better cracker than john? I DO know a couple of the letters in the password (not the numbers or special characters or the letter case) and password length. Is there some tool that I can feed in a partial password like 'a?bc??d?"? thanks

Rebuilding a failing drive
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Nov '16

22 Nov '16

I have a 1TB drive that is getting I/O errors enough that while I was out of the country, it hung and my wife was NOT happy. So it is time to replace it. And with a 2TB file. This is a server with the drive as EXT4, boot partitions, swap partition, and a few data (/boot, /, etc.) partitions. Given that I am experiencing I/O errors, it would seem that a dd is not advisable. I can dd the boot portion onto a new drive, I can build the partitions on a new drive. I can boot the system with a live CD. What is a good way to move the OS and all the data? I used Clonezilla some many years ago, but that does not seem to be the way to go when there are bad sections on the source drive? Thank you
