VPN Interface not Remaining Active With Firewall?
by Stephen Morris 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi, When I start one of the two vpn definitions, that have been in networkmanager for years and used to work fine (I haven't used them in quite a while), it starts and I get a pop-up message saying that interface tun0 has been activated in the firewall default zone (being fedoraworkstation). This interface remains active for about a minute or so until I get the pop-up message that interface tun0 has been deactivated in the firewall default zone, and the vpn is no longer connected. The vpn connection is using Openvpn. I have checked dmesg for any message relative to tun0 or firewall and there are no messages for either. How do I determine why the vpn won't stay active? regards, Steve

by PropAAS DBA 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

All; One of my USB Ports has stopped working, trying to determine if it's a hardware failure or a Linux issue. I'm running Fedora 29 - KDE spin on a Lenovo P52S If I grep for USB from /var/log/messages the results include this: Dec 10 10:16:32 P52S pcscd[2117]: 00000000 ccid_usb.c:1266:ControlUSB() control failed (1/3): -7 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT Thoughts? Thanks in advance...

Here is a good example: This one of mine and it was "ignored" by Red Hat: 7.2 not compatible with C236 and RSTe motherboard https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353423 Cost me over a U$D 1000 to figure it out. Fedora is a Kaisen (constant improvement) OS. RHEL is an Anti-Kaisen by design OS.

file server question: cifs vs nfs?
by ToddAndMargo 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi All, A customer is thinking of having me build him a file server. He has 3 windows 10 workstation that all need to see that same YUGE drawing files. Plus backup would be nice. So since I am allergic to Windows servers (the make me say "bad" words), I thought of a FC29 Samba server. Then it occurred to me, why not put the shoe on the other foot. If there is an NFS client for Windows, why not use NFS? Any benefit of using NFS over CIFS on this scenario? You thoughts? -T

using sed -- delete line in file matching inputLine
by bruce 09 Dec '18

09 Dec '18

Hey. Used sed in the past to delete lines from files where the pattern is within a line. However I'm not sure I've ever had to delete a line where the line in the file matches the inputLine. Would I simply use the inputPattern plus a "\n'"?? any pointers are good.. thanks

lot of problems with f29
by François Patte 09 Dec '18

09 Dec '18

Bonjour, I recently upgraded my system from f28 to f29, after some problems with lvm (see my other post...) the system was ok, but today I faced new problems: selinux went crazy... refusing to start mariadb. A lot of notifications appeared on my screen and I tried to do what these notifications suggested... but after reboot problems are the same as if I did not do anything! I updated my system, but after reboot on kernel 4.19.6-300.fc29.x86_64, the boot process stops after "reached target system default". And I had to boot on the previous kernel ( 4.19.5-300.fc29.x86_64). But the selinux problem remains and I had to disable selinux. I don't know what caused these problems and why the last kernel is not booting. Any clue? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

e-mail security.
by home user 08 Dec '18

Good afternoon, Today, I received a message claiming to be from "noreply(a)barracuda.com". Never heard of them. The message tells me to click a link in the message to view an encrypted message. Now I know that clicking links in e-mail is risky. How do I safely determine if this is genuine and safe without clicking that link? thanks, Bill.

pencl with f29
by François Patte 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Bonjour, I try to have opencl working with darktable on my system f29. This used to work with f28, but I can't have it working with f29. nvidia_uvm module is there and it can be loaded using modprobe, but it is not loaded at boot and no /dev/nvidia-uvm is created. Does anybody know how to enable opencl for f29? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte

system-upgrade download fails after power failure
by Ewan Slater 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from 27 -> 28. Yesterday I was running `sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=28` when I had a power failure. After I got power back, I tried to run it again I get the trace below. I have tried repeating the process again from `sudo dnf upgrade --refresh` and removing and reinstalling system-upgrade, but I still get the same message. Any suggestions on how to get round this? Cheers, Ewan [ewan@headcrash ~]$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=28 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/dnf", line 58, in <module> main.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 179, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 64, in main return _main(base, args, cli_class, option_parser_class) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 95, in _main cli.configure(list(map(ucd, args)), option_parser()) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/cli.py", line 860, in configure self._parse_commands(opts, args) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf/cli/cli.py", line 783, in _parse_commands self.command = command_cls(self) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf-plugins/system_upgrade.py", line 292, in __init__ self.state = State() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf-plugins/system_upgrade.py", line 109, in __init__ self._read() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dnf-plugins/system_upgrade.py", line 114, in _read self._data = json.load(fp) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/json/__init__.py", line 299, in load parse_constant=parse_constant, object_pairs_hook=object_pairs_hook, **kw) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/json/__init__.py", line 354, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 339, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 357, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
