Is pcHDTV 5500 still supported...
by D&R 16 May '19

16 May '19

I have been using the above tuner card for tv reception/recording with MythTV since 2008. The last upgrade was to F27 and the last kernel that could use the card (that I am aware of) is 4.17.19-100.fc27.x86_64. More recent kernels can not get a lock on the signal. If the pcHDTV 5500 is no longer supported, what is a good replacement card to get. If it is supported what is my next step? Thanks, David

Anyone ever heard of just USB 3 dying?
by Tom Horsley 16 May '19

16 May '19

Any USB 3 stick I plug into my computer gets recognized as a USB storage device, then immediately starts getting errors such as: [ 1418.060792] usb 1-1.5: reset high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci [ 1423.169910] usb 1-1.5: device descriptor read/64, error -110 [ 1439.042249] usb 1-1.5: device descriptor read/64, error -110 Old USB 2 sticks work no problem, keyboard and mouse work no problem. Can just the high speed USB 3 support die on a motherboard? I doesn't seem to matter where I plug it in, the hard wired plugs on the back of the computer give the same errors as the ones on the front hooked up with cables. The USB 3 sticks I've tried work fine on other computers, so they don't seem to be the problem.

Configuring apache and smokeping on dynamic IP
by Alex 15 May '19

15 May '19

Hi, I have a fedora30 desktop on a dynamic IP behind a cable modem that I'd like to configure to support apache and specifically smokeping. The problem I'm having I believe is with php-fpm. I've installed and configured it, but trying to access it results in a gateway timeout error. I do see entries in the logs when this fails, so I'm sure I'm at least reaching the desktop successfully. The desktop is on a dynamic IP (192.168.9.110) behind a cable modem with a dynamic IP. I've configured port forwarding for port 8027 to forward to port 8027 on the machine itself where apache is listening. I've also configured port 8022 to forward to port 8022 on the desktop to provide ssh access, and can ssh to it successfully. I've configured the smokeping.conf apache config to allow any IP to communicate with it for now. I can also reach the default fedora test page successfully. What is the minimum apache config that is necessary to work with smokeping without configuring a virtual host? I haven't changed the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf files from the default. I've just changed the Listen statement in ssl.conf to use 8022 instead of 80. Here is my /etc/httpd/conf.d/smokeping.conf: <Directory "/usr/share/smokeping" > Require local Require ip 68.195.193 192.168 </Directory> <Directory "/var/lib/smokeping" > Require local Require ip 68.195.193 192.168 </Directory> ScriptAlias /smokeping/sm.cgi /usr/share/smokeping/cgi/smokeping.fcgi Alias /smokeping/images /var/lib/smokeping/images Alias /smokeping /usr/share/smokeping/htdocs The /etc/httpd/conf.d/fcgid.conf file is also very simple: AddHandler fcgid-script fcg fcgi fpl FcgidIPCDir /run/mod_fcgid FcgidProcessTableFile /run/mod_fcgid/fcgid_shm The /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file is also the default, and includes the SetHandler statement to use php-fpm, I believe: <IfModule !mod_php5.c> <IfModule !mod_php7.c> # Enable http authorization headers SetEnvIfNoCase ^Authorization$ "(.+)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 <FilesMatch \.(php|phar)$> SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock|fcgi://localhost" </FilesMatch> </IfModule> </IfModule> Here is my /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf. It is also very much the default. [www] user = apache group = apache listen = /run/php-fpm/www.sock listen.acl_users = apache,nginx pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 5 pm.start_servers = 2 pm.min_spare_servers = 2 pm.max_spare_servers = 3 slowlog = /var/log/php-fpm/www-slow.log php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on php_value[session.save_handler] = files php_value[session.save_path] = /var/lib/php/session php_value[soap.wsdl_cache_dir] = /var/lib/php/wsdlcache The /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log file is empty. After attempting to reach the system remotely, I see the following message in the apache error_log from my remote IP: Wed May 15 15:42:17.997621 2019] [fcgid:warn] [pid 14476:tid 139916520441600] [client 68.195.199.42:34118] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds I only have four php packages installed: php-cli-7.3.5-1.fc30.x86_64 php-7.3.5-1.fc30.x86_64 php-fpm-7.3.5-1.fc30.x86_64 php-common-7.3.5-1.fc30.x86_64 Of course I have restarted both the php-fpm and httpd services. I'm really hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong to cause it to always timeout on an otherwise idle box.

mkpasswd
by Aleksandar Kostadinov 15 May '19

15 May '19

Hi, in Fedora 28 I used the command `mkpasswd` [1] to generate passwords according to different criteria. Now in Fedora 30 this command asks for a password to encrypt for /etc/passwd usage. Any ideas how do I get back the old `mkpasswd`? [1] https://linux.die.net/man/1/mkpasswd

F29->F30 In Place Upgrade Issues
by Tim Evans 15 May '19

15 May '19

Just did an in-place upgrade from F29 to F30, following the procedure laid out at https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-29-to-fedora-30/ (System has been progressively upgraded for the last four or five releases via this procedure.) Coupla issues, one major. First (minor), after final reboot, I was forced to create a new user, which is now the default user on the login screen. Existing userid is still there, accessible via the "not listed?" link. Everything is intact in home directory. How to restore my old userid as the default on the login screen? Second (MAJOR), once logged into my normal account, the graphical desktop no longer shows an "Applications" drop-down; all I get is the "Places" dropdown with no immediate way to start applications. Browsing Places->Computer->/usr/bin and clicking on applications does not start them. Clicking on those (like Thunderbird) that have a shell script startup displays the text of the script. Others (gnome-termainal, for example) generate a pop up that says: "Could not display "gnome-terminal." There is no application installed for "shared library" files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?" Now, Alt-F2 brings up a window that says "Enter Command." Typing "xterm" or "thunderbird" or "google-chrome" into this box does start the application. (So, at least, I'm not totally dead in the water here.) How to get the Applications drop-down back? -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court | Owings Mills, MD 21117 | 443-394-3864

Re: dnf list extras

Maybe, but I don't think so since dnf says that *all* those packages that supposedly aren't available anymore come from either fedora or updates... Also, this doesn't explain why those packages were marked as not available anymore in the first place, since they still seem to be present in the regular F30 repositories (at lest according to [1]).

dnf list extras
by eqie＠mailbox.org 14 May '19

14 May '19

Dear all, I recently did the upgrade from F29 to F30. Afterwards, I wanted to clean up a bit so I did a `dnf list extras` to list all packages that are no longer available through the repositories. This returned a rather long list: apache-commons-codec.noarch apache-commons-io.noarch apache-commons-logging.noarch apache-commons-net.noarch bcel.noarch hamcrest-core.noarch jakarta-oro.noarch javamail.noarch jdepend.noarch junit.noarch kernel.x86_64 kernel.x86_64 [...] I then tried `dnf list extras --disablerepo=fedora-modular,updates-modular` which returned: kernel.x86_64 kernel.x86_64 kernel-core.x86_64 kernel-core.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel.x86_64 kernel-debug-devel.x86_64 kernel-devel.x86_64 kernel-devel.x86_64 kernel-modules.x86_64 kernel-modules.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 That's more what I expected. So my question is: Why are *more* packages listed as not available anymore when those repositories are enabled than when they're not? Regards, eqie

really deep sleep mode?
by Tom Horsley 14 May '19

14 May '19

Is there some sort of ultra deep sleep mode sddm goes into if it has been unused for a while? No power on earth seems to be able to get any signal to appear on my monitor after I have let the system sit for a long weekend. Moving the mouse, tapping the spacebar, nothing works. I've had to ssh into the system and reboot to get it back twice now. Merely leaving it overnight is no problem, but leaving it for two or three days seems to render it unable to wake.

Tip: Xfce 4.13 and panel problems
by ToddAndMargo 14 May '19

14 May '19

Hi All, I have an upcoming new build of Fedora 30 for a customer. I wanted to put Xfce on it, but 4.13 way too buggy to unleash on the general public, especially with all the talking up of Linux I have been doing. Well the two deal killer bugs are https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14627 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14854 Where programs disappear from Panel 0, and panels 0 and 1 occasionally go missing at start up. Well, one of our intrepid heroes on the Xfce bugzilla gave me this command to use: xfce4-panel -r And it works perfect on missing panels and panels with missing programs. I will put the above command in start up with a five second delay and make a desktop launcher for it too. So Xfce 30 is back on! Yippee! -T

Strange sudo latency problems
by Gianluca Cecchi 14 May '19

14 May '19

Hello, sorry in advance for the quite long post... My laptop has no physical lan adapter, so when installing Fedora 30 it bypassed the networking section (and also the hostname setting one). After first boot in post-install configuration I set up wireless connection and such. At a certain point, I don't know if due to changing hostname from the default localhost.localdomain that had been set, or due to applied updates, I had strange problems with latencies in sudo responses with great amount of time before asking the password prompt and also when opening menus in gnome, eg settings (about 1 minute before showing the window), and also the battery icon at top right disappeared.... probably due to timeout of the related daemon I noticed that sssd was automatically configured at boot even if with no configuration files: no sssd.conf, no files in /etc/sssd/conf.d ? It seems things a bit better after disabling sssd and reinserting localhost.localdomain in /etc/hostname and rebooting, but sudo becomes again sluggish when I connect an usb-c to lan adapter to connect to my work network... and I have [root@localhost ~]# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: wlp1s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether d6:5e:e2:84:6c:07 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: enp0s20f0u2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0e:c6:c0:01:d5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.4.23.16/24 brd 10.4.23.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp0s20f0u2 valid_lft 14177sec preferred_lft 14177sec inet6 fe80::d2f4:d7f3:3d9a:7f16/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: virbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:88:fc:56 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.1/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global virbr0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 5: virbr0-nic: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel master virbr0 state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:88:fc:56 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [root@localhost ~]# I didn't customize sudoers file and nsswitch.conf contains (with comment autogenerated at 11 May, time of install) at the moment passwd: sss files systemd group: sss files systemd netgroup: sss files automount: sss files services: sss files shadow: files sss hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname bootparams: files ethers: files netmasks: files networks: files protocols: files rpc: files publickey: files aliases: files [root@localhost ~]# ll /etc/nsswitch.conf lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 29 May 11 01:26 /etc/nsswitch.conf -> /etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf [root@localhost ~]# ll /etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2402 May 11 01:26 /etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# systemctl status sssd -l ● sssd.service - System Security Services Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sssd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) May 14 09:22:12 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system/sssd.service:11: PIDFile= references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/sssd.pid → /run/sssd.pid; please update the unit file accordingly.
