AH01257: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries
by Tim Evans
Just upgraded from F26 to F27 without incident. However, the web
browser interface to the "BackupPC" application
(BackupPC-4.1.3-4.fc27.x86_64) is now broken. The BackupPC daemon
itself is working properly, and backups are running.
ps -ef | grep -i backup
backuppc 1130 1 0 Nov23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
However, attempting to access the browser administration pages of the
application generates "service unavailable" (503) errors.
The Apache error log (*not* any BackupPC log) shows:
[Thu Nov 23 10:52:26.203136 2017] [cgid:error] [pid 1162:tid
139834463086336] (13)Permission denied: [client ::1:43468] AH01257:
unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries:
/usr/share/BackupPC/sbin/BackupPC_Admin, referer:
http://localhost/backuppc?action=summary
Everything was working properly with F26.
Where's the permission denied coming from?
# ls -l BackupPC_Admin
-rwxr-x--- 1 backuppc apache 3924 Aug 2 12:51 BackupPC_Admin
Both apache and the BackupPC daemons are running under the userid 'backuppc'

Core XFCE utils freezing up
by Konstantin Svist
Hi,
Since last update I've been seeing freezing up behavior, mostly in the
xfce4-power-manager.
Specifically, this is the behavior I see when starting it up in command
line ($ xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug --dump):
https://pastebin.ca/3938185
I can interact with its UI directly just fine, no lag. When I use a
shortcut button for brightness the 1st step succeeds (brightness changed
slightly) but power manager freezes for N seconds. If I press the
shortcut several times, the rest of presses are queued up and will take
a long time to process.
This also affects sleep behavior -- when I close my laptop, it's
supposed to sleep if on battery and just lock screen if on power. It
always sleeps now.
I haven't updated in a few weeks, so it could be a bunch of things
causing this, not sure what...
Anyone else having these issues?

kernel install looking very sketchy on F27
by Tom Horsley
I just did a dnf update on my fedora 27 partition,
and the kernel scriptlet generated even more
screwy looking output than it did the last time
I got a new kernel install:
Running scriptlet: kernel-core-4.13.13-300.fc27.x86_64 374/374
ln: target '/boot/dtb' is not a directory
cat: write error: Broken pipe
I just got the broken pipe last time, now it is
talking about a directory that doesn't exist.
(I haven't tried booting into this new kernel yet,
I hope it still boots OK).

libgcrypto file conflicts during dnf update
by Amadeus W.M.
I was doing a regular dnf -y update on a F26 and I got this file conflict:
Error: Transaction check error:
file /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt/AUTHORS from install of
libgcrypt-1.7.9-1.fc26.i686 conflicts with file from package
libgcrypt-1.7.8-1.fc26.x86_64
file /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt/NEWS from install of
libgcrypt-1.7.9-1.fc26.i686 conflicts with file from package
libgcrypt-1.7.8-1.fc26.x86_64
Error Summary
-------------
It's a 64 bit machine and I don't even know why I have libgcrypt - i686,
but trying to remove that triggers a bunch of other i686 packages to be
removed and the mess is spreading.
How do I force overwriting the AUTHORS and NEWS files? I tried
--allowerasing but I got the same error.
Thanks!

F26 calibre bug? Qt bug? Or just wait a while?

On fedora 26 I keep getting this:

My current fedora 26 system has:
[root@zooty ~]# rpm -q calibre
calibre-3.1.1-2.fc26.x86_64
[root@zooty ~]# rpm -q qt5-qtbase
qt5-qtbase-5.9.2-4.fc26.x86_64
So new calibre update wants an older version of Qt5? But the calibre
I already have installed if fine with the newer Qt5 version I
already have installed?
Very confusing...
P.S. I see on fedora 27 new calibre is perfectly happy
with new qt5. These are installed on my fedora 27 partition:
[root@zooty /]# rpm -q calibre
calibre-3.11.1-2.fc27.x86_64
[root@zooty /]# rpm -q qt5-qtbase

What is the technical name for "mtp://" urls in Mate Desktop folder
explorer (Caja, ex-Nautilus)
by Fernando Cassia
I'm curious as to what is the technical name given to these
pseudo-URLs used by Caja (formerly Nautilus) on Mate Desktop...
When I plug USB flash drives / Thumb Drives / Pen Drives (use your
naming choice) I get those automagically mounted (automount).
But when I plug my Samsung Android smartphone I get this folder displayed...
mtp://[usb:001,009]/
Containing two pseudo-devices "Phone" and "SD Card".
All looks very nice, except that the devices are NOT mounted as
regular filesystem folders. I can only see them on the GUI through
Caja.
I want to assign the devices some name like /media/myuser/something.
How do I achieve this and what is the logic of mounting these devices
"GUI only" and unaccessible (afaik) from the command line?
I tried "mounting" these pseudo-devices like
mtp://[usb:001,009]/Phone
but BASH knows nothing about "mtp://" devices. This seems to be some
shitty Mate Desktop invention.
On my previous usage of Gnome 2 many moons ago (Sun JDS) this wasn't
the case, I remember USB mass storage devices magically appeared on
the desktop, and that's what I expect here too... but somewhere along
the long fork road, Mate Desktop developers came up with this mtp://
monstrosity.
Any clues? I tried complaining but I don't even know the name of these
damn mtp:// pseudo devices annoyance.
When was this introduced and who thought it was a great idea? I'd like
to know some real (person) names if possible to complain in person
about the hideous nature of this idea...
TIA...

pulseaudio MUST DIE!
by David A. De Graaf
pulseaudio became unusable on F26 with the upgrade to vers 11.1.2 a few
weeks ago. It rapidly filled the log files with trash - and produced
no sound.
By using dnf downgrade "*pulseaudio*" I was able to restore sanity.
Yesterday I freshly installed Fedora 27 Live Xfce on an Acer laptop.
Today, /var/log/messages had grown to
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 14787172 Nov 22 15:47 messages
These 15 MB contain recurring lines like this:
Nov 22 11:22:18 datacer rtkit-daemon[4896]: Successfully made thread
16113 of pr
ocess 16113 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by 'dad' high priority at nice
level -11
.

16116 of process 16113 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by 'dad' RT at

Nov 22 11:22:19 datacer rtkit-daemon[4896]: Successfully made thread

load failed.

to initialize daemon.
Nov 22 11:22:19 datacer pulseaudio[16110]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon
startup failed.
which repeat every 5 seconds, and will rapidly destroy my system.
I've fought with this miserable pulseaudio creation for several
years, trying to get sound to work *properly*, but this is the
last straw.
Today I held an exorcism and have slain the damned thing:
dnf remove pulseaudio
which, amazingly, took out 34 packages.
Sound now works perfectly - just the way it should.
I cannot discern any important loss of function from the deleted 34
packages so far. aplay, vlc, xmms, mythfrontend and even
skypeforlinux all work fine with alsa.
pulseaudio should just go away!

CqrLog mariadb/mysql
by jarmo
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?

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