Please help me with samba or my brain will explode.
by Илья Коскин
Hello everybody. Here is my problem. I have two computers, both with fedora workstation 27, both with selinux disabled, both fully updated. Both have the same configuration of samba:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
usershare max shares = 5
usershare allow guests = yes
guest ok = yes
Map to guest = Bad user
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = No
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @printadmin root
force group = @printadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
as you can see, everything i changed from default config is this strings:
usershare max shares = 5
usershare allow guests = yes
guest ok = yes
Map to guest = Bad user
Both computers have directories /var/lib/samba/usershares with sticky bit enabled.
On both machines i have created usershares this way:
net usershare add Share /home/kasak/Share "" Everyone:F guest_ok=y
As you can see this is simple configuration, nothing special.
/home/kasak/Share owned by kasak, but have 777 permissions, so user "nobody" can write there.
But on one machine everything works just fine, but on another machine i only can create dirs or files in the root of the "Share".
For example, if I create directory foo, cd to there, and try to create directory bar, samba sais that I don't have permissions! And on another machine it works just fine!
With all the same configs! I even can delete the foo directory, but i can't create files there!
The only difference between computers is that on one I have full disk formatted and mounted as root, and on another i have /home partition separately.
But they all are formatted to ext4 and have similar mount options (defaults)

can "more" and "less" be used effectively interchangeably?
by Robert P. J. Day
currently perusing some linux courseware i'll be delivering later
this month, and i'm fascinated by the early claim that the "more" and
"less" commands can be used interchangeably. i don't recall that
*ever* being the case, given that more is part of util-linux, and less
is a separate package, and less has always had more functionality than
more.
am i misremembering? has there been some quiet effort to make those
commands equivalent?

warning about spectre with last kernel update
by François Patte
Bonjour,
I just updated f27 and the new installed kernel
(4.15.3-300.fc27.x86_64), sends these messages at boot time:
kernel: Spectre V2 : Mitigation: Full generic retpoline
kernel: Spectre V2 : System may be vulnerable to spectre v2
What do they mean and what to do? Waiting for next kernel update?
Thank you.

weird effect: gnome-terminal does not open links correctly
by Joachim Backes
Hi all,
I'm running f27 under gnome with gnome-terminal as preferred terminal
application.
Anybody has seen that opening URL's found within the gnome-terminal
output is not done correctly (popup menu: Open link ... in
gnome-terminal)? Only the issuer's home URL is opened, independent from
the URL found in the terminal.
Using konsole5 instead of gnome-terminal will solve the problem.
Kind regards

Re: Hardware errors
by Rami Rosen
Hi, Anne,
I have a question: does the boot completes and you reach the login screen ?
( or terminal if you are in non x mode) ? Or are you dropped to some sort
of dracut or a maintenace mode ? Generally, as one of the replies mentions,
there are sometimes errors messages that you can ignore.
Regards,
Rami Rosen

Do you see messages like the above? Try:
journalctl -n 50000
I have errors along that line since 1.5 yrs or so, since I installed some
Fedora
the fist time on that machine. As long as no one tells me this is serious,
and as
long as I don't see smoke, fire, or sparks coming out of the computer, or
hear strange noises from the machine: I won't care much. I'd start to
care if hardware wasn't detected - things like that ...

To replace fc27 Gnome with KDE spin?
by Anne Wilson
I mistakenly installed the Gnome Desktop from a live DVD - my SSD is small, and I want KDE, so I have burned a disk with the Spin. Problem now, though, is that Fedora appears to have turned UEFI back on, and I can't find any way of getting back to promoting the DVD drive. Interrupting the boot simply offers me the choice of the existing Workstation or Rescue. How can I access the spin install?

How to get a recent / maintained version of Mesa for F27?
by Gerhard Hueller
Hi,
Fedora 27 still ships with Mesa-17.2.4 - which is not only outdated, but furthermore the 17.2 series is more or less is end-of-life.
Mesa-17.3. is already stable and reached the middle of its lifecycle (17.3.4) recently, while 18.0 is expected to be released any day now.
Are there prebuilt packages of Mesa-17.3.3/4 available somewhere?

Problems with vlc
by Patrick O'Callaghan
Some time in recent weeks vlc stopped working for me, i.e. it will no
longer play .avi, .mp4 or .mkv files but just lists a continuous stream
of errors to the console (see below). I'm currently on:
$ rpm -qa vlc\*
vlc-extras-3.0.0-25.20180109git0c462fc.fc27.x86_64
vlc-core-3.0.0-25.20180109git0c462fc.fc27.x86_64
but I'm pretty sure the problem started before the recent release of
VLC 3. This is a typical slice of output:
$ vlc foo.avi

... and so ad infinitum.
Essentially the same thing happens with every video file I try, even
though the same files *do* play correctly with the default KDE and
Gnome video tools.
It's possible that some codec is missing, but the errors don't seem to
point to that. In any case these are the ones I have:
$ rpm -qa gstreamer\*
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36-18.fc27.x86_64

gstreamer-tools-0.10.36-18.fc27.x86_64
gstreamer1-1.12.4-1.fc27.x86_64
I'd be interested to hear opinions on what's going on. VLC used to work
perfectly for me, certainly on F26 and (I believe) on F27 though I
can't swear to it. Turning SElinux off makes no difference.

Where to report dependency problems.
by Dirk Gottschalk
Hi.
I just tried to install system-config-kickstart, because i want to
create a media for "unattented installation" and got this error:
# dnf install system-config-kickstart
Letzte Prüfung auf abgelaufene Metadaten: vor 3:25:11 am Di 06 Feb 2018
19:46:57 CET.
Fehler:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides system-config-date needed by system-config-
kickstart-2.9.3-5.fc27.noarch
Where do I have to report this. In earlier Fedora Versions this worked.
Regards,
Dirk
