F22 to F23: dnf system-upgrade failure
by Suvayu Ali
Hi all,
I tried to upgrade to F23 with dnf system-upgrade last night. The
download part went smoothly. But it failed during the reboot stage. On
booting again, I noticed grub has not been updated, that's when I
realised the upgrade had failed. In the journal I see something like
this:
python3[769]: Starting system upgrade. This will take a while.
dnf[769]: Dependencies resolved.
dnf[769]: Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: dnf, systemd.
systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service: Failed to load environment files: No such file or directory
systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service: Failed to run 'stop-post' task: No such file or directory
systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service: Unit entered failed state.
audit[1]: SERVICE_STOP pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=dnf-system-upgrade comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed'
systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service: Failed with result 'resources'.
systemd[1]: Rebooting as result of failure.
When I tried distro-sync with --allowerasing, I encounter the exact same
error. I found a similar unresolved bug report (with incomplete
information), but no other results turned up from a quick search. Any
thoughts?
Cheers,

kernel source - "make prepare" - error
by Robin Laing
Hello,
I am trying to compile a module and having a problem. When I run make
oldconfig I have no issues but when I try to run "make prepare", I get
an error.
4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64]# make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64]# make prepare
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by
'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/../../include/generated/asm/syscalls_32.h'. Stop.
arch/x86/Makefile:191: recipe for target 'archheaders' failed
make: *** [archheaders] Error 2
From what I have read, this isn't just a Fedora issue and has appeared
over the years.
I wish I could get this to work.
If I don't get an answer, I will submit a bug report.
Thanks

sagemath problem
by Timothy Murphy
Yesterday I dnf-installed sagemath on my Fedora-23/KDE laptop.
The brought over 200 packages and about 550MB with it.
Unfortunately when I run it I get the following error:
----------------------
[tim@william ~]$ sage
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Sage Version 6.5, Release Date: 2015-02-17 │
│ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │
│ Type "help()" for help. │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/sagemath/local/bin/sage-ipython", line 6, in <module>
from sage.repl.interpreter import SageTerminalApp
ImportError: No module named sage.repl.interpreter
----------------------
I take it this means some python package is missing,
but I can't work out which one.
Any suggestions gratefully welcomed.

fresh install vs kernel update
by Ger van Dijck
Dear friends,
When doing a fresh install (fc23) the system boots with kernel
4.3.3-303.fc23.i686+PAE.
When updating the system installs kernel 4.3.4-300.fc232+PAE.
I have the idea that **304** is newer then **300** ; Or am I wrong?
I had two weeks ago big problems ""disk image corrupt"" after an update
and had to reinstall FC23.
Can you inform me?
Kind regards,
Ger van Dijck.

dns question??
by bruce
Hi.
Researching dns/naming. (sortof fed!!)
Assume I have a server -rackspace/digitalocean/etc.. And I and I want
to serve the DNS via something like cloudflare.
The test server(s) aren't going to be webservers, they're going to be
used to test apps..
As far as I can tell, most of the sites say you need to already have a
"name" from a domain name provider. That can't be right, can it!! One
can have a dns process internal to an org, providing dns names to
machines all over the place. Granted, those machines/names might be
internal/private.
So, does one need an "actual" real name for an externally facing
server in order to process the DNS so one can do a "ssh test(a)foo.com"
or can you use something like "ssh test(a)foo.example.com"
At the same time.. if you do need a real/actual "domain name" for the
externally facing box, digitalocean provides for both public/private
networks for the linux instances. If you run a private network, would
you then be able to create your own name for the internal instances
that would be available to the other instances on the private
network??
I've tried asking IRC/support forums, etc.. but not getting any progress..
Thanks for helping me get my head around this..
