Par2cmdline with non normal characters.
by Robin Laing 15 May '16

15 May '16

Hello, I am trying to run par2 to repair an archive that has an apostrophe in the name. Not a single quote. This archive was created on Windows. File name should be Joe’s file.part01.rar If I do ls I get Joe?s file.part01.rar ls -b I get Joe\302\222s\ file.part01.rar Running par2 *.par2 runs par2 cmdline but all the files are missing and par2 says all the files are missing. Target: "Joe’s file.part01.rar" - missing. Target: "Joe’s file.part02.rar" - missing. Target: "Joe’s file.part03.rar" - missing. Target: "Joe’s file.part04.rar" - missing. Doesn't see the repair files either. How can I escape these characters or run the program? I have searched for a day to see how to run this program. I have seen others ask the same question as well. Is there a way to use 'exec' or another option? I have tried to change the terminal character set with no luck or just haven't found the correct character set yet. I cannot rename the files as the par2 and repair files look for the original file names. I don't even know how to enter the characters in the terminal. I notice if I look at the file name in a graphics file manager (dolphin), I just get a square with some unreadable code in it. Same if I try to look at it in a directory listing from a program. Am I missing a font set for this and would that make it work better. As I cannot confirm the language the file was created in, I may be missing the correct font on my system to work with it as well.

issues after update f23
by François Patte 12 May '16

12 May '16

Bonjour, I experience many issues after updating f23. For instance: I have xfce4 installed, when I login, it takes ages to open the session and at the end no window manager is running. Looking in .xsession-errors, I can read: <cite> xfwm4-Message: Another Window Manager (unknown) is already running on screen :0.0 xfwm4-Message: To replace the current window manager, try "--replace" (xfwm4:1506): xfwm4-WARNING **: Could not find a screen to manage, exiting (xfwm4:1507): xfwm4-WARNING **: Could not find a screen to manage, exiting xfwm4-Message: Another Window Manager (unknown) is already running on screen :0.0 (xfwm4:1510): xfwm4-WARNING **: Could not find a screen to manage, exiting xfwm4-Message: To replace the current window manager, try "--replace" (xfwm4:1509): xfwm4-WARNING **: Could not find a screen to manage, exiting repeated many times... </cite> Looking in the dnf.log file, I can see that no xfce package was updated... What can produce this issue?

data restore after an upgrade?
by Jeffrey Ross 11 May '16

11 May '16

Looking for some suggestions and thoughts. I am upgrading the OS on a system with older hardware that I have, it is currently running Fedora 16 and I'm looking to upgrade it to Fedora 23. The system has 4 SATA 1.0 interfaces, two are are in use for the two removable disks in the front of the case, the other two are inside the case and although not impossible to access they are a little difficult to access. The original system has 2 disks with multiple partitions, each partition is in a RAID-1 configuration, the new system has the same basic configuration but was built on different hardware (at a physically different location). Considering that system partitions are relatively static I've made a copy of those in the event I forgot something that I need, what I'm trying to figure out is how to deal with the user partition (/home) since this partition is very dynamic. My thoughts are to first boot the new disks in the old system making sure everything is stable then either 1) break the mirror insert one of the old disks into the system and mount the /home partition someplace and simply copy the files, pull the old disk and insert the new disk then rebuild the mirror or 2) connect one of the old disks to the now new system via a USB to SATA adapter (note the machine only has usb 1.1) mount the disk and copy the data over. or 3) open the system up and connect one of the old disks to one of the internal SATA connectors mount the disk and copy the files over. or 4) ???? It's not a huge amount of data as I'm only looking at a little less than 25GB of data to copy over. If it matters the system is a dual Opteron 275 system with 16GB of ram, its more than sufficient for what its doing which is why I'm not looking to upgrade. Thanks, Jeff

SELINUX Problem (Firefox Create access on rawip_socket)
by CS DBA 11 May '16

11 May '16

Hi All; I'm running Fedora 23 KDE Spin, After a recent firefox update (I'm now at Firefox 46.0.1) I've been getting these SELINUX alerts: The source process: 57656220436F6E74656E74 Attempted this access: create On this rawip_socket: The alert gives me 2 choices: 1) If I want to use the plugin package: you must turn off SELinux controls on the Firefox plugins. # setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0 2) If I believe that 57656220436F6E74656E74 should be allowed to create access on the Unknown rawip_socket by default: You should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 57656220436F6E74656E74 --raw | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp If I click on "Plugin Details" I get this: SELinux is preventing 57656220436F6E74656E74 from create access on the rawip_socket Unknown. Plugin: catchall you want to allow 57656220436F6E74656E74 to have create access on the Unknown rawip_socketIf you believe that 57656220436F6E74656E74 should be allowed create access on the Unknown rawip_socket by default. You should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 57656220436F6E74656E74 --raw | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Thoughts? Is this a bug? Should I run the setsebool command to allow access? Thanks in advance

Fedora magazine - interesting but bizarrely set out
by Timothy Murphy 10 May '16

10 May '16

I was just looking at the Fedora Magazine <https://fedoramagazine.org/>, as I do from time to time, and was struck yet again by the bizarre organization of this resource. As far as I can see, there is no index - just what seems like a random collection of articles presented in a blog-like format. There is no list of back articles, which every other digital magazine I know provides. When I think of the large amount of time that Matthew Miller - someone who has helped me on several occasions, and whom I hold in the highest regard - must spend collecting and editing the contributions, I'm completely baffled by the failure to offer an index, with links to past articles. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin
