Is there a workaround for the issue where the Fedora 30 upgrade decides that all of Eclipse is not compatible with Fedora 30 and removes the complete collection of Eclipse packages? If it's best to wait until the issue is resolved before upgrading, will GNOME Software automatically update my downloaded upgrade packages? If not, how to make sure that update happens before the install? Thanks. -- Matthew Saltzman School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Clemson University mjs AT clemson DOT edu

GRUB prompt after F29 to F30 upgrade

by Chris Murphy

Just a heads up that this can be an issue, but I'm not sure how common it is. It applies to BIOS (not UEFI) firmware, and for systems that originally had Fedora 20 or older installed and also never had 'grub2-install' issued since then. Therefore it can be prevented just by running 'grub2-install' before commencing the Fedora 30 upgrade. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F30_bugs#GRUB_boot_menu_is_not_popu... It's worth going through all the Common Bugs. -- Chris Murphy

IcedTeaWeb: (/usr/bin/javaws): how to run it from firefox with -noupdate option?

by Dario Lesca

When I open this URL from Firefox http://jws.agenziaentrate.it/jws/dichiarazioni/2018/FEL18.jnlp IcedTeaWeb start correctly. But only after 10/15 minutes (!!) the application start and open it. This is not acceptable. I discovered that this problem happens even if I launch the procedure by hand /usr/bin/javaws http://jws.agenziaentrate.it/jws/dichiarazioni/2018/FEL18.jnlp This is the command used from firefox (I see with "ps -fea|grep java"). After some try, I also discovered that if I run javaws with -noupdate option /usr/bin/javaws -noupdate http://jws.agenziaentrate.it/jws/dichiarazioni/2018/FEL18.jnlp the application start and open immediately. It's possible to set this options so that firefox use it? Someone can help me to resolve this issue? Many thanks -- Dario Lesca (inviato dal mio Linux Fedora 29 Workstation)

spamprobe

by Scott van Looy

Hi, I recently recovered my home partition from some corruption. Most of everything is working OK but my spamprobe database appears not to be I use spam probe in a procmail recipe, from their examples in the man page: :0 SCORE=| /bin/spamprobe train :0 wf | formail -I "X-SpamProbe: $SCORE" :0 a: *^X-SpamProbe: SPAM spam And procmail is hanging on “spamprobe,train”, timing out and failing to deliver the message. I moved my existing spamprobe database away and created a new one and it all works as expected, but without any of my previous data from the old DB. So, two questions: What format does spamprobe use for the db and is it repairable somehow? Alternatively - I set this up about 750,000 years ago, I can see spamprobe hasn’t been updated in years, is there a better solution to set up spam filtering on fedora? I run my own mail server and I currently use RBLs and spamassassin Regards, Scott

Tip on upgrading to FC 30

by ToddAndMargo

Hi All, If you are upgrade from 29 to 30, make sure you update dnf and libdnf first do to a bug that has been fixed (my procedure below takes care of this). So far I have one virtual machine running FC30. Haven't got a chance to torture it yet though. This is my update procedure: FC 29 -->> FC 30: # rpm --rebuilddb # rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest if anything is too new, do a # dnf downgrade offender(s) # dnf --enablerepo=* update --refresh # dnf install python3-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade # dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=30 --allowerasing --best # dnf clean packages <-- optional # dnf system-upgrade reboot -T

Printing problems after upgrade to F30

by Jouk Jansen

Hi all I just upgraded from F29 to F30. All looks fine except printing from the system. The printer is configured in /etc/cups/printers.conf (see details below). I noticed that in a previous file the "Shared" was set to Yes, but all the other lines are exactly the same. if I try to pront from the system the job is held in the queue telling me that there is a problem with authentication (but the authentication is included in the prints.conf file). If I look in the printer set=up menu which can be started from the "gnome-to-panel" it tells me that the job needs autentication and it asks met to enter credentials, but I cannot input them from this menu: Where should I enter them? If I try to reconfigure the printer via cups and indicate that the printer is to be shared, I get the message that sharing is not possible for a Kerberos-printer. On this system I never configured Kerberos. So what is happening here? Please help me getting printing working on this machine as it worked before the upgrade to F30.
