HEADS UP: OpenSSH 7.6p1 in Fedora 27
by Jakub Jelen 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Hello all, The OpenSSH 7.6p1 was submitted for testing in Fedora 27 [1]. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get it out before freeze since all the thing/bugs/upstream release somehow pilled up. On the other side, this package was already tested quite extensively during recent months by myself, using automated test cases and was in rawhide for last two weeks, where we caught last issues. If you have some "special" use case, please make sure it works for you after the update and leave a karma.

Web pages with Flash now hang Firefox
by Fulko Hew 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

A few days ago any time I try to view a web page that contains some Flash, Firefox (56.0) hangs for about a minute, then does something, and hangs again for a minute, etc. Until I kill the tab for that web page. Chrome works fine. Firefox used to work too, but now it doesn't. Has anyone seen this? PS. I had originally followed the instructions here to install Flash: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-o… TIA Fulko

Thunderbird passwords -
by Bob Goodwin 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Yesterday Thunderbird began asking for email passwords that it should have been finding in its password file. Edit > Preferences >Security > Passwords is empty, there should be two passwords there. I don't know if this is something that has happened to Thunderbirdor Fedora 27. I have not seen others complaining so it must be a problem peculiar to my updated system. I would like to start a second profile but have not been able to figure how that is done,Google seems to provide only information on profiles for Windows systems. I know I have a default profile, would like to add another to see if it will create a passwords file that willsave passwords. Any suggestions/help appreciated.

Getting permanentiy in F27: failed to synchronize cache for repo 'region51-chrome-gnome-shell', disabling.
by Joachim Backes 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Each time if I'm running 'dnf upgrade', I see: failed to synchronize cache for repo 'region51-chrome-gnome-shell', disabling. Anybody sees this too? Kind regards Joachim Backes -- Fedora release 27 (Twenty Seven) Kernel-4.13.13-300.fc27.x86_64 Joachim Backes <joachim.backes(a)rhrk.uni-kl.de> https://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~backes/

F26->F27 w/ dnf system-upgrade: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'
by Richard Shaw 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

I usually have trouble upgrading because I keep a local repository of packages and because they are shared via NFS dnf treats them as local files and doesn't download them. I've worked around that (F25->F26) by disabling it temporarily and distro-syncing after update. I've also disabled my squid package cache proxy just in case but still the problem remains. I haven't seen anything on the list and most of the google search results are not for F26 to F27 upgrades so does anyone have a clue what's going on? Thanks, Richard

dnf hold?
by Geoffrey Leach 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Now that Mozilla has provided us with its latest and greatest (sic!) Firefox, I need to prevent updates to firefox. Dnf does not appear to provide a "don't update this" option. Any suggestions? Thanks.

mozilla-adblockplus disabled in FF57
by Andre Robatino 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

The package mozilla-adblockplus is now disabled in all supported versions of Fedora, which have FF57 in stable. I filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1513731 but no response yet. I can't find any sign of recent activity by the assignee, Andreas Thienemann. The last few builds of mozilla-adblockplus were by rathann (FAS name, don't know full name) who just posted builds for the new mozilla-noscript-10.1.1 (very quickly BTW, was just posted upstream a little while ago). Does anyone know if Mr. Thienemann is still active?

rsync from F27 box causes higher (30x) cpu on F26 box?
by Kasper Pedersen 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

I have been poking at this for some hours, and by now I could use a second opinion. Or clue. Thirteen black candles? Somehow, when I sit on a F27 machine and pull from a F26 machine using rsync, something extremely inefficient happens in the F26 machine. If I sit on a F26 machine and pull from the F26 machine, it is fast. The good state: --------------- I had 3 reasonable machines, all on F26: Server - 1.8Ghz Haswell-celeron dualcore Desktop - 3.2GHz Haswell Backup - 2.4GHz Core2Q Backup runs rsync, and pulls from Server and Desktop using ssh. Nothing fancy, it copies and shuts itself down. When Backup was reading from Server, Server would have about - 30% cpu to rsync - 60% cpu to ssh and deliver 100MB/s reliably. So does Desktop. The bad state: -------------- After one such rsync run, I upgraded Backup to F27. When Backup pulls from Server, Server shows: - 99% cpu to rsync - 6% cpu to ssh and it delivers **11MB/s**, one tenth of what it did before. So, 30x higher cpu load per byte delivered. So, somehow, the rsync running on F27, which by the way reports the same version and capabilities as the one on F26, triggers something in the spawned process that behaves differently. On the server, the ssh-spawned rsync process looks the same whether it is Backup or Desktop pulling from it: On Server, with Backup as client, 11MB/s: root 25042 34.4 0.0 124996 5620 ? Rs 18:54 0:40 rsync --server --sender -vlogDtpre.iLsfxC . /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_10_29_010103.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_04_235600.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_12_005938.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_12_011442.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_12_015031.m.ts On server, with Desktop as client, 100MB/s: root 25152 31.9 0.0 122344 3000 ? Rs 18:56 0:05 rsync --server --sender -vlogDtpre.iLsfxC . /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_10_29_010103.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_04_235600.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_12_005938.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_12_011442.m.ts /bulk/mux/media/xbn-2017_11_12_015031.m.ts The command being run on Backup or Desktop is: rsync -av -e 'ssh -i id_ecdsa' --exclude XA/ --exclude video2/ root@10.5.5.1:/bulk/mux/media/xbn* . --progress Things I did: ------------- Tried the still-installed F26 and F25 kernels Desktop (F26) can rsync to and from Server(F26) at full speed. All machines get 110MB/s when running iperf, all six ways. The Sky2 nic in Backup is not spewing errors iperf shows no dropped. Swapped switchports between Desktop and Backup Switch does not report errors Things to do: ------------- swap nics upgrade a sacrificial F26 machine to F27 and try from that /Kasper Pedersen

f26 :: kde :: opening odt file use karc://
by Adrian Sevcenco 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

Hi! So, i upgraded to f26 (yeah, i know, I'm always a step behind) and using konqueror, when clicking an odt file it will open the archive with karc. i made sure that in file association odt have only the libre office as application to be open with... Any idea about this annoyance? and how can it be fixed? if i try to remove the kf5-karchive, it will remove all kde packages.. Thank you! Adrian

Problems with Fedora 27 on Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e
by Braden McDaniel 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

I have a ThinkPad Yoga 11e running Fedora. A couple of months or so prior to the Fedora 27 release, some updates to Fedora 26 introduced some problems. They are thus: The touchpad stopped working. The touch screen still works fine; but an update rendered the touchpad unresponsive. Restart stopped working. The machine must be manually turned off and turned back on for any update process that incorporates a restart. Neither of these problems was present in Fedora 26 at its initial release; they were both introduced by updates. I have updated the machine to Fedora 27; unfortunately, both problems persist. I would be happy to file bugs for these issues; but I am uncertain what component they should be filed against. Please advise. -- Braden McDaniel <braden(a)endoframe.com>
