saned and root question
by ToddAndMargo 10 Mar '18

10 Mar '18

Hi All, Okay, now this is "scary". Both xsane and Simple Scan work locally. I can not get saned to work, UNLESS, I edit /etc/group and add the following to root root:x:0:saned Without it, I get $ xsane net:localhost:epkowa:interpreter:001:007 Access to resource has been denied Now what am I doing wrong? Must saned have root privileges? CUPS doesn't need it. Many thanks, -T

FXAA Antialias Query With Nvida Devices
by Stephen Morris 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hi, I use an Asus Geforce GTX 1070 nvidia card with 8 GB of memory. I am also using the nvidia driver source from negativo17 for version 390.25. Within Nvidia X Server Configuration I have selected FXAA Antialiasing within the opengl settings and that has caused an issue in my F27 implementation. With that option active, the KDE kicker, active applications in the taskbar and the system tray contents all get displayed as white on white, and all applications, irrespective of whether the application is a native KDE application or a GTK application, text is displayed out of focus until either I mouse over them (in some cases) or scroll the window in which case the text is sharp and readable. If I unselect the FXAA option and set the Anti-alias option to 16x I don't get the same issue. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue and identified whether its an issue with the driver or an issue with F27 routines, and whether or not they have a resolution? regards, Steve

change user id
by Ranjan Maitra 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hi, I am on a single-account F27 system with an user id 1000. I want to change this user id. From what I understand, I should do the following: sudo usermod -u 54321 <username> However, when I do this, I get: usermod: user <username> is currently used by process 866 I guess that this has to do with the fact that I am logged in (to do this). How do I get around this point? There is no root on the system but I do have sudo access. Separately, I want all my files and directory owned by 1000 to move to this user id (so that I can have access)? Is this automatic or do I have to run chown -R <username> etc?

why would "rpm -V setup" show /etc/fstab with changed mode?
by Robert P. J. Day 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

another question based on something that tripped me up last week teaching, when i tried a simple demo and was confused by the result. was demonstrating how "rpm -V" could verify an installed package, and randomly chose the "setup" package since it consists of numerous fundamental system files for which some errors in verification would be cause for concern, and got the following on my F27 system: $ rpm -V setup .M....... c /etc/fstab S.5....T. c /etc/printcap S.5....T. c /etc/profile .M....G.. g /var/log/lastlog $ i have no problem with files whose contents will invariably change after further configuration, but i was confused about the "M" flag for /etc/fstab, suggesting that the mode (type/permissions) for that file were different from the installation values. as i see it, why should any system config file like /etc/fstab change its mode after installation? shouldn't a file like that be installed with the correct mode from the beginning? i took a look at the spec file for that package here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/setup/blob/master/f/setup.spec and i notice that other files, after being "touch"ed, are chmoded to 0644, but not /etc/fstab/, whose current mode on my system is 0664: -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 628 Jan 14 2016 /etc/fstab as a test, i chmod'ed /etc/fstab to 0644, and the verify diagnostic went away. i realize this discrepancy isn't a problem -- things will continue to work just fine -- but it seems unnecessary to generate a superfluous "rpm -V" line for /etc/fstab if it were installed with non-matching mode in the first place. is there some reason for the above? am i missing something? rday

can i limit "dnf search/info" to a selected set of architectures?
by Robert P. J. Day 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

i've pawed over the man page for dnf and i can't figure out how to do something simple -- i want to restrict the output of commands like "dnf search" or "dnf info" to just a selected set of architectures. example: $ dnf search ftp ftp.x86_64 : The standard UNIX FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client lftp-scripts.noarch : Scripts for lftp vsftpd.x86_64 : Very Secure Ftp Daemon ftplib.i686 : Library of FTP routines ftplib.x86_64 : Library of FTP routines ... snip ... in the above, i'm not interested in seeing any i686 arch packages, but i can't figure out how to restrict that (if it's even possible). ideally, i'd like to restrict package arches for these queries to x86_64 or noarch, and "man dnf" suggests the "--arch" option, but that doesn't have the effect i'm after: $ dnf search ftp --arch x86_64 usage: dnf search [-c [config file]] [-q] [-v] [--version] ... snip ... dnf search: error: unrecognized arguments: --arch x86_64 $ "man dnf" suggests you can do this with the "repoquery" command: $ dnf repoquery --whatprovides webserver --arch i686 am i overlooking something obvious? rday

superfluous consultation of /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc?
by Robert P. J. Day 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

pedantic nitpickery ... just noticed in the man page for "rpm" the default path for configuration files: --rcfile FILELIST Replace the list of configuration files to be read. Each of the files in the colon separated FILELIST is read sequentially by rpm for configuration information. Only the first file in the list must exist, and tildes will be expanded to the value of $HOME. The default FILELIST is /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc:/etc/rpmrc:~/.rpmrc. and while both of those first two files exist on my F27 system, the latter (/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc) opens with the line: include: /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc which seems superfluous as that file is already part of the default FILELIST. i'm sure it doesn't do any harm, it just seems unnecessary, no? rday
