Tip: dual boot off of gpt , and legacy and UEFI

Requirements:
Fedora 29
Before installing, gparted:
Wipe the target disk
create a partitin table as GPT
create a first partition as
1 Meg
unformatted
set the partition flag to "bios_grub"
Install Fedora 29 from a UEFI machine:
remove "/home" was removed at installation and moved into "/"
--->>> PRESUMED !!! <<<---
The machine was install and booted from UEFI
The machine is mounted as /dev/sda
Install the legacy BIOS boot loader:
Boot into fedora on UEFI
only installs 3 files
# dnf reinstall grub2-pc
create the BIOS .cfg file
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
You made room for this by making the 1 MB partition "bios_grub" so use
"--force"
# grub2-install --force --removable --recheck --target=i386-pc
--boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda

RE: Please Recommend Affordable and Reliable Cloud Storage for 50 TB
of Data
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl
It depends on several crucial points.
1) For how long do you need 50 TB (months, a year, several years, for-ever)
2) How quickly do you need to retrieve
3) Reliability
4) Sensitivity
4-> Depending on WHAT you are going to store, it might be that you are simply not even allowed to store it in some cloud
2-> Tape might be an option, if you can wait a day or so ☺
1-> This defines your financial break-even-point
If it is for a short while, you might look for external storage,
But when paying hundreds per month, for several years…
When you think of local (self) storage, you should definitely look at CEPH-cluster technology: reliable storage, affordable, and master in scalability
With 5 machines as OSD, each holding four 6TB-drives, and a couple of monitors, you could get away with it

I think DIY is the best route. While some corporations are willing to risk having their data exposed (FB/Cambridge Analytical et al. ) and others can pay the financial price for having their data seen by others, it always boils down to what you want to deal with more (or less)....the amount of times you'll have to explain how some cloud provider screwed up?....or the reliance on your own backups...on your own schedule..and secured through means which fall a little more under your control.
Just sayin'...

Fedora 28 persistant printer issue
by Howard Howell
Hi, guys,
My problem is exasperating... I have a canon mf624cw on my
network. It has been there for a couple of years and worked well. when I started to work on my tax stuff, downloads etc. it refused to print. I powered down the router and repowered it. This usually worked because I have MANY systems on my home router wirelessly (about 15 at any one time), so occasionally it loses its little bitty mind. Not ofter, maybe once every 4 or 5 months.
Now given that this didn't bring the printer up, I then did a
ping and the printer responded. Lpq shows the printer not accepting
jobs. Brought up settings, and attempted to delete the printer. NO
JOY. I would unlock, authorize, delete the printer, close the
notification window, close the printer window and settings, reboot just
to make sure the settings took, and bring the system back up.
The printer was still there. Answered pings etc. OK, maybe
the printer has an issue. Powered down the printer, left it over
night, reset it and got the network up on it, confirmed I could ping
it, but still no printing.
OK, maybe the driver or the que is messed up. Again tried to
delte the printer while it was off. No joy. Went to Google, but it
was not my friend in this case.
So after three days of this, I am surrendering to the greaterwisdom.
System is AMD FX 8300 at 2.8Ghz, 15.6GiB memory, AMD Oland,
Gnome 3.28.2 64bit, lots of disk space. Just updated by dnf.
dmesg doesen't show any problems
journalctl doesn't show my any printer stuff.
Printer shows no errors.
printer shows network and can be pinged.
What I think I need is to remove all system references to the
printer. I have tried grep on the /etc directory and sub directories,
but no joy on locating the entries for the printer.
HELPPPP!!
If anyone can tell me all the locations where the printer is referenced
and how to remove the references, I will probably be able to bumble my
way out of this. Or any other suggestions that might work.
Remember I have tried the gui from settings, and the cups 631
network page but with no joy on either. If you think I need to try any
of those again, please post step by step so I can be sure I do what you
say exactly.
Regards,
Les H

Gnome settings -> Online accounts and tor hidden services
by Robin Lee
Hi
I wonder if there's away to configure a Nextcloud account in Online
Accounts or otherwise that would connect to a Nextcloud server that
resides on a tor hidden service, i.e. it would need to connect to an
onion address.
Cheers

RE: Please Recommend Affordable and Reliable Cloud Storage for 50 TB

by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl
Just checked on HDD..
A Seagate barracuda 8TB (ST8000DM004, SATA600) is doing 214 euro’s;
Three OSD nodes with 4 drives should be enough, giving redundancy and spare capacity.

how now to set ibus (Intelligent Pinyin) font.
by home user
Good morning,
I'm trying to enter Chinese characters using ibus (Intelligent Pinyin).
As I enter the pinyin spelling, the Chinese characters show up in small
menu. The characters are displayed in a small font that my old eyes
have trouble reading. I want them to display in a size 16 kai font (AR
PL Ukai CN). I ran ibus-setup, and it is set correctly. I also have
the file ~/.i18n which has this line:
export FC_LANG=en-US:zh-CN
What else do I need to do?
thanks,
Bill.
