strange behavior: it slows down and then recovers

my Fedora 30 distro has a strange behavior: it slows down and then recovers to a good speed...

where is the nasty cache?
by Tom Horsley
We shuffled some systems around at work. An NFS server now has
a new IP address. On my fedora 30 desktop I see:
nslookup <server> shows the new IP address
host <server> shows the new IP address
ping <server> still pings the OLD address!!!
mount /mountpoint apparent still uses the old IP because it times out.
I'm not running nscd. I'm not running systemd-resolv. I'm
not running dnsmasq or bind as a local cache. I don't have
entries in /etc/hosts for the old IP.
So where is this "helpful" cache that has the old
IP stashed?

The net.core.netdev_rss_key and insecure settings.
by Cătălin George Feștilă
What is net.core.netdev_rss_key?
Can be this default setting an insecure issue?
You can see it with this command:
[root@desk mythcat]# sysctl -a --pattern 'net.core.netdev_rss_key'

f30 :: ip6tables take 1.463s to load
by Adrian Sevcenco
Hi! Does anyone have any idea why there is such situation:
[root@localhost ~]# systemd-analyze blame | grep tables
1.463s ip6tables.service
217ms iptables.service
This is on a new nvme laptop but the same behavior is present on any
other systems that i have (but annoying on the laptop)
The overall situation is :
[root@localhost ~]# systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 2.070s (firmware) + 5.323s (loader) + 837ms (kernel)
+ 1.218s (initrd) + 2.067s (userspace) = 11.517s
graphical.target reached after 1.160s in userspace
Does anyone have an idea how can i speed up this? (firewalld usage is
not good for me)
Thank you!!

CUPS forcing single-sided printing
by Tim
Hi,
I have a LAN using CentOS and Fedora installations (currently its
CentOS 7 on the server). At times it insists on doing double-sided
printing, and will not let me choose single-side. Erratically the
option is either unavailable (the drop down menu is not clickable, and
says "not available"); or when the option is responding, my selection
is ignored; and some days it works properly. The printer is a HP
LaserJet P3015. I get this erratic behaviour on any of the PCs, and it
used to do this, too, when the server was previously a Fedora install.
Anybody have any clues?

Boot order use the oldest kernel
by Jon Ingason
Hi,
With one of my computers I have problem to set permanent default start
order of the kernel. I can change it with "sudo grub2-set-default 0" but
when I update the kernel I get oldest kernel as default boot order.
How do I make the start order so the latest kernel is default?

SSH after upgrade
by Mike Chambers
Upgraded server from Fedora 30 to 31 (updated to present), and ssh into
that server works fine as normal user, but no longer lets me login as
root. I can login as root from the server machine itself, and can
login via su - but just cant' from ssh.
Any ideas what changed or got replaced so revert it back?
Thanks,
Mike

Can't boot from the harddive
by Jon Ingason
Hi,
I accidentally turn off my computer with the power button. That resulted
in corruption of "BIOS start". The motherboard has legacy BIOS.
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

I can start the OS from the hard drive with SystemRescueCD. How can I
repair BIOS start so I can start directly from the hard drive?

RE: /dev/null is full ???
by J.Witvliet@mindef.nl
Like wise...
There seems to be missing a /dev/one.
Could it be obtained by exoring /dev/zero?

Yeah, it always happens, nobody takes care of cleaning up
/dev/null, so it becomes full of stuff.
But, you know, there are people providing cloud-based
dev-null-as-a-service at affordable prices.
For example you can send them 100GB per month for just $25.
https://devnull-as-a-service.com/pricing/
(I hope everybody in this mailing list is able to detect
the above is said as a joke...)
Anyway, of course mistyping /dev/null can fill the disk containing
the "dev" directory, but if you really want to see sudden random
failures in any software, you should try replacing
/dev/null with a normal file. This happened to me
once because of a stupid installer of a very well known
commercial product. Then, if the permissions are not open to "others",
somebody using /dev/null will fail at reading or writing. And if
the permissions are instead open, the process reading
from /dev/null will actually read something that another process
was intending to discard. Spectacular confusion.
Regards.

graphical environment menus doesn't work
by Angelo Moreschini
For transport reasons I had disassembled and re-installed on a different
case, my computer (with windows 10 and fedora 30).
The technician has successfully performed the reassembly operation,
however, on booting Windows 10 the computer works correctly, while booting
via fedora the procedure allows you to log in (with a previously registered
user name) but after that, the graphical menu environment does not appear .
I can use still fedora in text mode (by Cntrl Alt F 1 -F3), however I
cannot activate the graphical menu environment.
How to activate the disappeared graphic environment?
some advice ?
