Samuel, Yes, xterm still runs... ok as far as I can tell. I don't use it much since I started using Konsole (KDE). BTW, this release of Fedora is FC30 x86_64. Line numbers in the file are col 1 (produced by less -N. Here's a part of the font list that xlsfonts displayed: 3929 10x16bold 3930 10x20 3931 10x20 3932 10x20 3933 10x20 3934 12x24 3935 12x24 3936 12x24 3937 12x24 3938 12x24bold 3939 12x24kana 3940 12x24kana 3941 12x24romankana 3942 12x24romankana 3943 3270 3944 3270-12 3945 3270-12bold 3946 3270-20 3947 3270-20bold 3948 3270bold 3949 3270gr 3950 3270gt12 3951 3270gt12bold 3952 3270gt16 3953 3270gt16bold 3954 3270gt24 3955 3270gt24bold 3956 3270gt32 3957 3270gt32bold 3958 3270gt8 3959 3270h 3960 5x7 3961 5x7 3962 5x7 3963 5x8 3964 5x8 3965 5x8 3966 5x8

A fontpath question.

by George R Goffe

Hi, I seem to be doing something incorrectly. When I run this command: xterm -bdc -cm -sb -sl 4096 -cr green -ms red -fn '-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--14-100-100-100-m-90-iso10646-1' -title '-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--14-100-100-100-m-90-iso10646-1' -e bash I get this error message: xterm: cannot load font "-Adobe-Courier-medium-O-*-*-14-100-100-100-M-180-ISO10646-1" I got a list of fonts from the xlsfonts command so it seems to think this font IS installed. The FONTPATH shell variable is NOT set and neither is FontPath. I would like to try out several of the other fonts that xlsfonts lists without updating config files. xlsfonts displayed 4210 fonts with duplicates for some reason. Can anyone see what I'm not doing right? Is it a bug? Thanks, George...

Fedora 29 Live CD/USB Cannot Install on Raid nor Boot in UEFI.

by Stephen Morris

Hi, I have burnt a Fedora 29 workstation live install to DVD and tried to boot it with the bios set to UEFI mode, but it halted with a boot error. Thinking there might be an error with the DVD I downloaded a tool for windows that allowed me to download and burn the F29 installer to usb, but this failed to boot with the same issue as the DVD. If I switched the bios into legacy mode both the DVD and USB successfully booted to the Fedora desktop. From what I have read on the net the live installer is dual setup, in terms of the documentation said that if the installer was booted in UEFI mode it would perform a UEFI install and if it was booted in legacy mode it would do a bios install, so given this have I done something incorrectly to cause the installer to not boot in UEFI mode? Having set my hard disks up in Raid 10 mode I booted the F29 installer in bios mode which successfully booted to the desktop, where I selected the install to hard disk option which worked fine up to the point of setting up the disks, where the disk setup could not see any disks at all to configure for installation. From what I've read on the internet the workstation installers for F22 through F24 did not support raid but the equivalent server installers did. Has this still not been rectified up to the F29 workstation installer? regards, Steve

Remote Disencruftation

by Beartooth

I have two email accounts, one at my local access provider, and one on my own domain, hosted remotely. I'm running Fedora 29. Last time I looked, my host was running Centos. Now I see this: $ uname -a Linux <x.y.z> 2.6.32-042stab134.3 #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 12:26:01 MSK 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Is something there the name of a distro?? (I've forgotten the proper command, with 'release' in it,for asking a remote machine what it's currently running.) It's past time I ought to've downloaded a mass of cruft (old emails) from my host's machine, stored them on some medium here (Maybe a nice external solid state 2 Tb drive?), and gotten them out of the way. They're slowing me way down. I've never gotten around to learning rsync, nor even trying Grsync. Last time, istr, I made do with cpanel at the host. Now the host has something new to me, WHM, in front of cpanel, and I haven't the faintest inkling what all it can do. Is there now good strong new EASY magic for a subtechnoid like me to do the old chore, or should I just try to recall how I slogged through before? I feel like a sorcerer's apprentice, and don't want to drown in cyberspace. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.

Please Recommend Affordable and Reliable Cloud Storage for 50 TB of Data

by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming

Hi, Could you recommend affordable and reliable cloud storage for 50 TB of data? Here are some important factors to consider: 1. Personal/non-commercial use. 2. Must be affordable, since I am unemployed most of the time and have super low levels of income for the past 12 years since I graduated from the National University of Singapore in 2007. 3. Cloud storage provider must not be a fly-by-night company, that is, it will not suddenly close down the next day. Please advise. Thank you. ===BEGIN EMAIL SIGNATURE=== The Gospel for all Targeted Individuals (TIs): [The New York Times] Microwave Weapons Are Prime Suspect in Ills of U.S. Embassy Workers Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html ******************************************************************************************** Singaporean Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 14 Feb 2019 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] https://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END EMAIL SIGNATURE===

fc29 openssh : can't disable StrictHostKeyChecking

by sean darcy

ssh -o stricthostkeychecking=no works. There's no ~/.ssh/config grep Strict /etc/ssh/ssh_config # StrictHostKeyChecking ask but it doesn't ask: ssh new-gateway @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that a host key has just been changed. The fingerprint for the ECDSA key sent by the remote host is SHA256:TylFZRyv2D0miW94XagWwZOFPPCd1PhTRscDSXZHwVw. Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending ECDSA key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:1 ECDSA host key for [new-gateway]:6878 has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed. though it reads the config file correctly: ssh -G new-gateway | grep strict stricthostkeychecking ask I don't want to change the ECDSA host key, because sometimes that machine is at this address. any help appreciated
