No Flash in Firefox 56?
by Juan Orti Alcaine
Hi,
My Firefox has been upgraded to version 56 (F26) and I cannot use
flash pages any more. I have the addon installed and in click-to-play
mode, but I just get an empty space. Is it a bug? I though flash is
still going to be supported until 2020.
Thanks.

boot device options
by Jeffrey Ross
Looking for some feedback and some direction on not only the feasibility
but does it makes sense to do.
The scenario is this, this is Fedora 26 system, running RAID1 on all
disk partitions, there are only 2 disks in the system with 4 raid
partitions each:
/dev/md125 / - md125 : active raid1 sdb1[2] sda1[0]
/dev/md127 /boot - md127 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0]
/dev/md124 /home - md124 : active raid1 sdb5[1] sda5[0]
/dev/md126 [swap] - md126 : active raid1 sdb2[3] sda2[2]
The thought is to use flash of some sort to do the initial boot (eg USB
flash) and then continue with the boot using the installed disks. If
this is the case is it the /boot partition that gets moved to flash? is
it grub that gets moved? Or is it both? /boot is currently using about
174MB.
The thought behind this to protect against a disk failure and being
unable to boot on the remaining good disk, flash being solid state I
would assume it would be more reliable, plus since I'm not looking to
constantly write to the partition "wearing out" the media wouldn't be an
issue.
USB device I was thinking about is Z-U130 eUSB SSD, they appear to be
available as 1, 2, 4, & 8 GB modules.
Thanks, Jeff

Running local SSH as background process - possible??
by bruce
Ok guys,
I know this isn't strictly "Fed" related, but the group might have suggestions.
My use case, the process has a number of remote servers. I'd like to
be able to run a bunch of commands on the remote servers as fast as
posible. The initial thought was to loop through the different
IPAddresses, and SSH into each server, to run the commands.
However, this process was still "sequential" in that each SSH session
needs to complete, prior to running the next server/ssh command.
So, my question/need -- is to figure out how to run a ssh as a
background on the local server. This approach would/should allow the
process to quickly fire off commands to the remote ipaddresses/servers
in a much faster/parallel manner.
sortof:
foreach iplist as ipaddress
ssh user1@ipaddress command & (assuming that the '&' runs the local
ssh in the background -- it doesn't!)
Running "stuff" on the remote can occur in a "Screen" session, which
would allow the ssh process to fire off the remote cmd, but it still
doesn't run the local ssh as a "background" process..
Rick has mentioned/discussed the "Screen" function in past threads.
Thoughts/comments....

ldbsearch and missing LDB_MODULES_PATH, how to set it correctly?
by Lin Pro
Fedora 27
libldb-1.2.2-1.fc27.x86_64
ldb-tools-1.2.2-1.fc27.x86_64
samba-dc-4.7.0-12.fc27.x86_64
Hello,
I need to set LDB_MODULES_PATH=/usr/lib64/samba/ldb, so it can survive a machine reboot.
Which package is responsible for that PATH anyway and how to find out?
Right now here is what it is:
ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb
WARNING: Module [samba_dsdb] not found - do you need to set LDB_MODULES_PATH?
Unable to load modules for /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb: (null)
Failed to connect to /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb - (null)
After the PATH is set things work OK.
One could set a PATH in one of the .bashrc* files but I am afraid that the PATH is required by a process, not just a user.
Thank for any hints.

[F26] Cannot log in with sddm (Plasma), sddm-helper[6948]: segfault
by Frédéric Bron
Hi,
Fresh install of F26.
First user created in the installation process, no issue.
2nd user created with kuser from 1st user session.
This second user cannot log in from sddm but he can log in from a
terminal and run startx which works fine.
Apparently, everytime he tries to login from sddm, we get this in dmesg:
[ 8867.558759] sddm-helper[6948]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f141e369b1e sp
00007ffca5cf19f0 error 4 in libc-2.25.so[7f141e2f7000+1c7000]

I give up using Fedora ...
by Walter H.
F25 was running fine; after upgrade to F26 my VMware was broken,
now I have a VMware running with F26, which brings this:
"This host does not support "Intel EPT" hardware assisted MMU
virtualization.
This host does not support virtualizing real mode.
The Intel "VMX Unrestricted Guest" feature is necessary to run this
virtual machine on an Intel processor.
Module 'CPUIDEarly' power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine."
and the same machine runs the latest Win10 without problems(!)
this machine is an old HP wkst xw4600 with a Core2 Quad Q9300 CPU and 4
GByte RAM
Greetings,
Walter
