fedora 29 trying to mount missing disk
by doug.lindquist＠atlanticbb.net 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

I replaced a hd lately because I needed more space. It was encrypted with LUKS. I removed the line from crypttab for the old disk. now when I boot it tries to mount the old hd too. is there another file that needs changed?

trying to identify file (if any) corresponding to LBA
by Andre Robatino 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

I'm running 64-bit F29 using the default LVM, but with no separate home partition. Today smartctl reported that "Current_Pending_Sector" and "Offline_Uncorrectable" increased from 0 to 1. Running a self-test failed almost immediately with Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 42494 3299402936 I'm trying to follow the instructions in https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/BadBlockHowto . Fdisk gives [root@lenovo-pc ~]# fdisk -lu /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xc3017146 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 1026047 1024000 500M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 1026048 536872959 535846912 255.5G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 536872960 538970111 2097152 1G 83 Linux /dev/sda4 538970112 3907028991 3368058880 1.6T 5 Extended /dev/sda5 538972160 3907028991 3368056832 1.6T 8e Linux LVM [root@lenovo-pc ~]# so the bad LBA is in both sda4 and sda5.

In computing the problem block, I'm not sure whether to use /dev/sda4 or /dev/sda5. Also, if I run debugfs, it doesn't allow me to open either device, so at this point I'm not sure how to identify either the inode or file (if there is one) corresponding to the block. Can anyone help?

Hi All, Fedroa 29, x64 Xfce 4.13 Is there an X11 (not Xfce's settings) setting out there somewhere for how the mouse behaves? Many thanks, -T

f29 iso customization : value of inst.stage2 and iso re-packaging
by Adrian Sevcenco 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi! I would like to customize the iso net-install of f29 by pointing the inst.stage2 to a local http location but i do not find a reliable point of information ... looking over https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f29/install-guide/advanced/Boot… i see : "This option expects a path to a directory containing a valid .treeinfo file; the location of the runtime image will be read from this file if found. If a .treeinfo file is not available, Anaconda will try to load the image from LiveOS/squashfs.img." but the f29 net-install image does not have .treeinfo file, not LiveOS directory nor squashfs.img (it have an install.img) So, how can i point inst.stage2 to a location containing install.img? Also, i fail to find a method to repackage back the iso.. Any idea if the el7 method (with mkisofs) would work the same ? Thank you! Adrian

Is something wrong with the testing mailing list?
by Todd Chester 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

Hi All, I noticed that testing mailing list suddenly went dead. So I when to the archives https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test%40lists.fedoraproject.or… and noticed that posts are arriving, but no one is answering them. So apparently nothing is getting relayed back to members. This list is normally really, really chatty. Is it down? Anyone here know how to contact the administrator? -T

Problems with plank settings app
by Frank McCormick 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

In installed the dock plank on my Fedora 29 installation this morning, then found a python-based plank settings app. However it does not work with Fedora's version of plank (0.11.4). The settings app gives this error: (planksetting.py:6935): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:41:28.299: Settings schema 'net.launchpad.plank.dock.settings' does not contain a key named 'zoom-enabled' /usr/bin/planksetting14: line 1: 6935 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) python3 /usr/share/planksetting/planksetting.py I suspect it's related to Apples threat to Plank developers over use of the icon zoom property which the fruit company has apparently patented ?? Plank is reported to have removed the zoom option, Is there a work around? I don't particularly care about the zoom function eye-candy but it would be nice to be able to use the settings app. Thanks

Feature request : Vivaldi
by Beartooth 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

I tried installing Vivaldi from its own site, used it a few weeks, and liked it immensely. Then I happened to discover that it was not available via dnf. With copious bad memories of dependency hells, and despite great reluctance, I gave it up. I still miss it. Couldn't it be added to one or another of the Fedora repos?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is.
