Is there anything analogous to bootchart but which works on the period between entering your password and either getting a shell prompt (for a CLI login) or a ready desktop environment (for a GUI login). Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jonfu(a)jgcomp.com

My fedora 28 story so far

by Tom Horsley

Most everything seems to be functioning as well as always. Improvement: x2go finally sees all the fonts without me having to beat on it. The bugs: NIS users can't login: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575297 Haven't found a work around for this yet. Nouveau driver won't run X (only wayland): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575391 Might be video card and/or monitor specific, it worked OK on my system at work with different hardware. Oauth2 won't work with postfix relay to office365: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575424 I blame microsoft :-).

ocsinventory package not in Fedora distro?

by Franta Hanzlík

I want to upgrade my Fedora 19 server to Fedora 27, but is seems as from cca Fedora 24+ ocsinventory packages (server and agents) are not in Fedora repos (although this SW is still maintained and released under (Fedora acceptable) GPLv2 license: http://ask.ocsinventory-ng.org/7459/license-about-ocs-inventory-ng?show=7... https://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/ ) With a situation when some packages are missing in new Fedora distros (and they was in previous) I have met several times, so I want to ask rather generally: Is it possible to find out the fate of such package? Thanks, Franta Hanzlik -- I hope the Fedora will have a better init and no binary logs

Switching to Wayland on F27

by Digimer

Hi all, I've updated my OS a few times now and it would appear that I am still on Xorg of Fedora 27 workstation; From: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/f27/system-administrators-guide/Wayland.html ==== 0 digimer@pulsar:~$ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY c2 42 gdm seat0 /dev/tty1 3 1000 digimer seat0 /dev/tty2 2 sessions listed. 0 digimer@pulsar:~$ loginctl show-session 3 -p Type Type=x11 ==== That link doesn't say how to switch to Wayland, though. When I click on the gear icon at the login screen, I only have "Gnome" and "Gnome Classic" as options. Any hint on how to enable Wayland? Thanks. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com/w/ "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould

postfix relayhost to office365?

by Tom Horsley

I had postfix setup to relay all the mail from my desktop to the stoopid office365 server we are forced to use at work. It worked fine on fedora 27. Now, with everything configured identically on fedora 28, postfix can't seem to send out any mail. I don't suppose anyone else has this combo working? I get errors like this when I enable extra debug output for talking to the office365 smtp server: May 6 14:29:05 tomh postfix/smtp[406521]: starting new SASL client May 6 14:29:05 tomh postfix/smtp[406521]: name_mask: noanonymous May 6 14:29:05 tomh postfix/smtp[406521]: smtp_sasl_authenticate: smtp.office365.com[40.97.24.18]:587: SASL mechanisms LOGIN XOAUTH2 May 6 14:29:05 tomh postfix/smtp[406521]: xsasl_cyrus_client_get_user: Tom.Horsley(a)concurrent-rt.com May 6 14:29:05 tomh postfix/qmgr[406467]: warning: private/smtp socket: malformed response Strike a familiar note with anyone?

Install fails -

by Bob Goodwin

. I put /Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28-1.1.iso on a flash drive using the Fedora Media Writer and started the installer on an updated Fedora 27 computer, The process starts without a problem after doing the initial check but stops when it does: "Started User Manager for UID 1000." then nothing more and eventually keyboard/mouse stop next the screen goes black ... I thought perhaps it is a problem running from USB and made a DVD copy of the same file via K3B and saw the same result. What should I do now? All I can think of is to wipe the existing system off the drive, but intuitively it seems the existing system should not matter. Suggestions?
