CqrLog mariadb/mysql
by jarmo 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Upgraded into F27 my test computer. Went smooth like summer day. Started to test hamradio logging program, cqrlog. It wont start because of " Error during connection to database: Can not load default MySQL library ("libmysqlclient.so.16" or "libmysqlclient.so"). Check your installation." Mariadb is installed and running.... Tried to find libmysqlclient.so from installation, but couldn't. Other thing, package CQRLOG is 2.0.5, while there has been version 2.1.0 long time available. So, which package needs to install, to get missing libmysqlclient.so installed? Jarmo

That should be fixable with a properly configured .asoundrc file? - might need an ALSA guru to do it though . .

IPV6 and dhclient.conf supersede domain-name-servers does not work
by Patrick Mansfield 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Running current Fedora 25. How should I supersede the nameserver when using IPV6 and dhclient? If I enable IPV6, my dhclient.conf doesn't work as I'd expect, it works as expected if only IPV4 is enabled. I have this: # cat /etc/dhclient-enp6s0.conf supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; # grep V6 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp6s0 # IPV6INIT=no DHCPV6C=yes And then if I restart the interface: # ifdown enp6s0 > ~/ifdown.out 2>&1 ; ifup enp6s0 > ~/ifup.out 2>&1 I get: # cat /etc/resolv.conf ; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script nameserver 2001:558:feed::1 nameserver 2001:558:feed::2 If I disable IPV6, it works as I'd expect: # grep V6 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp6s0 IPV6INIT=no # DHCPV6C=yes # ifdown enp6s0 > ~/ifdown.out 2>&1 ; ifup enp6s0 > ~/ifup.out 2>&1 # cat /etc/resolv.conf ; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script search hsd1.or.comcast.net. nameserver 127.0.0.1 Thanks ... -- Patrick

SSH_AUTH_SOCK behavior is completely insane
by cen 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Whose good idea in the history of Linux was to turn ssh agent on by default when one has more than 5 private keys available? This is what I just got: ssh -i mykey.pem user@myhost Received disconnect from ... port 22:2: Too many authentication failures Authentication failed. Then I do export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="" and surprise! I am logged in. And I am not even sure why this suddenly stopped working, I swear to God specifying the key used to override the agent. So apparently the agent even overrides my -i flag which explicitly specifies which key to use. Instead of taking my key as I specify, ssh agent will go and try every single key file in my .ssh directory and fail after 5 times because any sane remote ssh server will block you after failing so many times. Anyone doing linux admin or dev work has more than 5 keys in their .ssh directory, rendering the agent completely USELESS PIECE OF SHIT PROGRAM. Does everyone disable agent first thing after installing Fedora? How else do you even manage to survive with this crap running? Why would agent even try with other keys if I SPECIFY the goddamn key! It doesn't make any sense! How do I turn it off in all shells for all users forever? How do I nuke this from system? .bash_profile export does not seem to cut it. Not to mention the same shit happens when you open gnome files and try to connect to remote location, except you can't even specify the key in the UI. It will just try a bunch of keys until you are blocked by remote. And there are numerous other programs who do this, like Filezilla. I just don't get it apparently..

Unable to have ~/.pam_environment processed
by Timothée Floure 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Hello, I'm trying to set some environment variables via $HOME/.pam_environment on my F27 system. I understand that the feature is disabled by default on Fedora so I tried to add the following line to `/etc/pam.d/login` : ``` session required pam_env.so user_readenv=1 ``` However, even with this line, ~/.pam_environment is still ignored. Any idea ? Thanks! -- Timothée Floure

Nextcloud upload restricted to 2MB
by Florian Sievert 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Hi, I was using nextcloud under F26 and just recently upgraded to F27. Everything seems to work out smooth so far, however I am not able to use Nextcloud anymore. When I try to upload a file, I get the following notification: Error uploading file "xxx.mkv": Total file size 310.9 MB exceeds upload limit 2 MB If I remember correctly, this was the default upload size set by PHP. However, I set in F26 already in /etc/php.in the option and restarted apache. upload_max_filesize = 16G This was working fine so far. However something seems to be changed in F27 and thus it seems to ignore that option. I tried everything so far, but run out of ideas. What I try to setup it seems to be restricted by something. Apache logs or SELinux does not indicate anything as well, so I think it is related to php configuration. When going to the admin interface of nextcloud the file handling is shown to be 2MB, but greyed out with the following message: Missing permissions to edit from here. Any idea what this might be/? /Anyone who can confirm that nextcloud is working for him on F27? / Best regards, Florian /

Windows 10 KVM and reboot
by Tom Horsley 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

I have a windows 10 qemu/kvm virtual machine hosted on fedora 26. Every time I leave it alone to apply updates (which takes forever), I come back later and find the console saying "Aaugh, there is no boot device!". I go into virt-manager, force a reset, and it boots fine, but now it is only 30% through applying updates, so I have to wait forever again. Is windows 10 incapable of rebooting itself, or is qemu busted somehow so that windows 10 attempt to reboot doesn't work? This always seems to fail (but only with updates - if I select reboot from the taskbar menu, it always reboots just fine). Anyone have a clue? Does this happen to anyone else?

Video Download Helper will not run with Firefox 57
by Temlakos 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Everyone: After updating Firefox I got a message to "refresh" it--that is, remove all add-ins. Foolishly I did so, thinking to reinstall them later using compatible versions. But I have not been able to get Video Download Helper to work. I followed their instructions to install a "companion application." That means working in a terminal version (actually, Konsole; I'm working in KDE). The messages I get all say the companion app is ready for use. But after repeated shutdowns and restarts, VDH still will not download anything. Temlakos

QEMU/KVM startup error in F27
by Patrick O'Callaghan 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

On trying to fire up a VM using virt-manager, I get "unable to map backing store for guest RAM: Permission denied". I use hugepages to lock down memory for the VM, which may be relevant for the error. This worked correctly on F26 just before the upgrade to F27. I have changed nothing in my VM configuration, nor in the config file for QEMU. However, temporarily turning off SElinux allows the startup to proceed, after which I can re-enable SElinux with no ill effects, i.e. the VM runs correctly. A complete relabel of my system (touch /.autolabel and reboot) has made no difference. poc
