Sudo but no su -
by Bob Goodwin 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

. I installed Virtual Manager in this Fedora 27 workstation system and created afedora 28 beta installation and was surprised to find I haveonly user bobg, no root account. Sometimes it's convenient to keep a work space for root and I was unable to do that, could not do dnf upgrade or groupinstall xfce unless I used sudo. Is that a virt-manager feature or is it going to be normal for Fedora 28? Bob -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

Fedora 27: Remmina and VNC incoming connection
by Dario Lesca 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

After last remmina update (1.2.0-0.51.20180408.git.6b62986) the VNC incoming connection (Plugin VNCI) is go away. Now it's any more possible to start a reverse connection, like previous version (1.2.0-0.42.20170908git205df66) allow to do (I have do a "sudo dnf downgrade remmina --allowerasing" to verify). Is this a bug and I must be fill a bugzilla or the VNC incoming connection now it is done in another way? Many thanks -- Dario Lesca (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 27 Workstation)

Plymouth splash screen -
by Bob Goodwin 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

. On this updated Fedora 27 with XFCE I have attempted to change the Plymouth screen several times, re-booted each time, and it always comes back with the same theme, I think it is called "spinner." I have another similarly configured computer and the same procedure worked without any problem. bobg]# Plymouth-set-default-theme tribar -R bobg]# Plymouth-set-default-theme tribar Although it shows the change to "tribar" it continues to display the original "spinner" when I reboot. The man page shows no command for removing the existing theme? It's a very minor problem but it should work on both of these computers, not just one ... Any suggestions, other than forget it?

boot menu does not see Windows after Fedora 27 Install
by PropAAS DBA 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

All; I just installed Fedora 27 on a server with 2 internal hard drives. Windows was already installed on the first hard drive, I added a second internal hard drive and installed Fedora on the second drive only. However there is no option to boot into windows when the boot screen comes up. Can someone point me in the right direction to add the windows drive to the boot menu? Thanks in advance

[MySQL & MariaDB in Fedora] MySQL 8.0 release, testers welcomed
by Michal Schorm 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Hello everybody! I want to share a quick overview of MySQL and MariaDB packages through Fedora. Brand new releases are available! *Available software and channels:* MariaDB 10.1 - F26 base; F27+28+Rawhide COPR MariaDB 10.2 - F27+F28+Rawhide base MariaDB 10.3 - F27+F28+Rawhide COPR MySQL 5.7 - F26+F27+F28 base MySQL 8.0 - Rawhide base The MySQL 8.0.11 <https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26552849> is a hot new wares; MariaDB 10.3 is expected to grow GA and land in the Rawhide soon. *Modules & Containers:* Modules are in progress. In order to allow users to use alternative version of MariaDB and MySQL servers in Fedora, we're working on modular builds. In the end, users will be able to use either newer MariaDB 10.3 and MySQL 8.0, or older MariaDB 10.1 and MySQL 5.6 versions in Fedora releases where we have MariaDB 10.2 and MySQL 5.7 by default. We are trying to ship also the Fedora Containers. *Their quality right now may vary, as the infrastructure for them for both building and using is still beeing developed.* *COPR:* mschorm/mariadb-10.1 mschorm/mariadb-10.3 mschorm/mysql-8 *Connectors:* A huge amount of work was made on following packages: mariadb-connector-c mysql-connector-odbc mariadb-connector-odbc They should now work better then ever before. The connector C allowed us to divide the server and client for both usage and building dependend software. *Information, help, tutorials, tips & tricks:* Lately, I wrote several pages on the wiki, clearing up the situation: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_MariaDB Are you completely new to those databases && you speak Czech? Several great articles waits for you: https://mojefedora.cz/jak-zprovoznit-mariadb-10-1-server-pro-vyvoj/ Do you have problems with the server start? "journactl -xe" or "/var/log/..." can help you. In some cases (mostly unusual re-installations) "/var/lib/mysql/" needs some cleaning. *Testing needed:* I'd love you all to try out the MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.3. Explore the Copr, try out the modules, meet the container images. *I managed to prepare MySQL 5.7.22 update in less than 20 hours, but it lies in BODHI untouched.I use BODHI auto-push, so I encourage you to test them before they land in stable.* *Bugs:* File them! Let me know! My bugzilla doors are always open as well as my mail inbox :) -- Michal Schorm Associate Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat
